If it must be used it Is Introduced casually, but gen erally tbe abstract nouu “seltisbuess" serves in its stead. For example, a Japanese would not say. "I don’t drink wine." but "Wine don’t drink." or. if this is not clear euougb. "Selfishness wine don’t drink." Reference to your |>ossessloiis must be deprecatory.

To lie ready for emergencies was one of the gifts of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, tbe great teacher of tbe blind, writes his daughter. Mrs. Laura E. Richards, who has edited Ills “Letters and Journals." She gives several in stances In which Ills quick action pre vented serious accidents. Once at Green Peace my father was going to drive with my mother and my sister Florence in a closed carriage with a large window in front. As tbe driver was mounting the box he dropped his whip and got down to recover It. This startled the young horses, and they bolted down tbe driveway. My father tried to open tbe big win dow. but It stuck fast. He hashed through tbe plate glass as if It had been paper and. catching np tbe reins, stopped tbe runaways In less time than it takes to tell it. When Thomas came running up. white and breathless, be found “doc tor" quietly soaking tbe bits of glass from his coat and bat nnd explaining to my terrified mother that be "went so quick there was no time to get cut." Still another memory of my mother’s shows bls quickness In a different way. He was walking along Washing ton street one day when a fnrlous d*»g rushed at blm and bit bls band severe ly- There was no Pasteur Institute In the forties. My father Instantly raised up the skin and fiexh of the bitten part aud. holding It firmly, entered the nearest apothecary's shop. "Cut Ibis piece off." be said briefly. The apothecary exclaimed In horror He could not. be would not. without a Burgeon's order. It was out of the question. "I am a surgeon." said my father “and I command you to cut It off.” It was cut off. My father dressed tbe wound wltb bls other band and went about bls business. Mads Him Sick.
