P.), to whom It was told by Labby himself. It con cerned the younger son of a peer, who thought that a berth in the diplomatic service was as desirable a place as any for one who took life rather easily. He knew nothing of the special sub jects upon which the preliminary ex amination was based, but there was at least the promise of a lark. As far as be could make out. be did not supply a single correct answer to the long list of questions. Nevertheless he came out first in the competition. It was a surprise even for a confident young lordling. Meeting one of the exam iners at dinner a few days later, he ventured to ask how the thing came about "We at once saw you knew nothing," was the reply. "But your manner was so free from constraint under what to some people would have been peculiarly embarrassing circum stances that we said to each other. That's the very man to make a diplo matist So we gave you a start on your career." The Dangerous Age.

The reason that so many men suffer from 111 health in the fifties is that they neglect these signs and live throughout the dangerous age at the same pace and with the same waste of vital energies as in the twen ties.

Three Ideas of Nothing. In an Irish school not long ago a schoolteacher asked a class to define "nothing:." He wrote the question on the blackboard and did so quickly and rather carelessly. A little red headed fellow's band shot up. "Well, Tbadv. what Is nothing?" said the teacher. "You may tell as." "It's the dot on the 1 ye've just for gotten to make, sorl" was the trium phant reply. An equally good definition was that of the lad who declared that nothing was "a footless stocking without a leg." He, too. was Irish. Less Imagi native, but no less convincing, was the mercenary definition given by a canny "ehiel" in Scotland. "It's when a man asks ye to hand his horse," he explained ruefully, "and then just says, "Thank yef " Very Decollete. "Poor chap: Everything he earn® goes on his wife's back." "Well, tf you'd seen her at the opera yon wouldn't think he earned much."— Exchange.
