Why. I almost felt afraid

And wuen witn mvc mum

In sunshine and shower.
In all goo lness you transcend,
And all excellences blend

As a sacred dower.
Yon have made my life more pure
Than it might have l?'cn:
You have taught me to endure,
And to strive and win.
With your simple song of praise
You sanctify our lays.
And our thoughts to heaven you raiso
From a world of sin.
Come, lot's quit the dusty town
With its noise an<l strife,
And seek the breezy down

A LOST DIAMOND.
' And it was the most beautiful stone
lhat I ever saw in a finger ring. None of
those paltry things you can't wear till
candle iiirht on account of the yellow
there is in tliem. So white, so clear, so
brilliant, pellucid .".s a water-drop and
sparkling as a star! It was all but big
enough, too, t?4 have a name o( its own,
like those that lliw loval diamonds have
? 'Star of the Four Points of the Compass,'
'Light of the World to Come,'
'Glory of the Middle of the Karth,'
'Mother of the Moon.' Why under the
sun," cried Mrs. Torrance, the pretty
creature in a bewitching gown, pouring
coffee for her husband, the litt'c butler
having been dismissed by Mr. Torrance
?in fear of the wrath to come, perhaps
? "shouldn't our diamonds have names
as well as those of kings and queens
and
"Yours ought to have one,'' said her
husband, quietly. 4,lt would be suitable
to call now; it's in the vocative, you
know."
"Well, 1 must say I don't belijve any
man was ever so undisturbed by the loss
of such a thing as that. Archibald,
that stone was worth a thousand dollars."
"Really I ought to be aware of the
fact. dear, if anybody is. You have of
fered to sell it and procure that sum for
my necessities every time 1 have been
hard up since we married. And if 1
have Mildred arrested for its theft, as
you suggest, it will cost another thousand
befoic we are done with it. For .'he
would certainly be proved inuoccnt, and
then a libel .<uit would be the next thing
in order."'
"But, Archv, Mildred can't be proved
innccent. How can she be, when 1 know
she took it? And there was no one else
to take it." And Mrs. Torrance paused
with suspended cup, her great wondering
eyes searching space for a reply. "If
ever anything lay in a straight line, it is
the evidence against that girl," she continued.
"The other day when the ring
fell on the floor she was in the room, and
she asked me what a stone like that was
worth, and then gave such a sigh that I
said, 'I suppose you think it's wrong for
me to wear a thousand dollars on my finger?'
And she said, 'I wasn't thinking
rinrr* T wiia nnlv fhinkinrr tliftf n
thousand dollars can do a great deal of
good.' The minx! 'Well,'I said, 'it
does a great deal of good?in looking
pretty on my hand.' 'Indeed it does
look beautifully there,' said she?she's
very particular about her adverbs; I wish
she was ab;>ut her catechism?'but a good
deed done by a hand is its most beautiful
jewel, to my thinking.' Just hear
that! To her mistress! Are you through?
Why, I've only just begun.*'
"She is quite a missionary," said Mr.
Torrance, picking up his newspaper.
"And the worst of it is, she is right."
"Now, Archibald, don't, for mercy's
sake, go to reading!" said his wife." "I
do think the morning news might wait
for oncc. It's nothing but dynamiters
blowing up the British empire,and Arabs
making mummies of the British arm\ ?
ail abstractions; but my ring is something
positive, tangible, here at hand."
"I wish it were!" said Mr. Torrance.
"And then I could be allowed?" But
as he glanccd at the lovely creature opposite,
with her reproachful brown eyes
in which stood two tears as big as the
diamond she had lost, her color going
and coming with her breath, as you
might say. and the rose-colored ribbons
of her morning cap all a-tlutter with her
earnestness, he folded his paper, and
said, "Well, my dear?"
"Well, my dear!" mimicked Mrs.
lorrancc, in (tension. 1 snouia say it s
anything but well when a man hears of a
servant insulting?actually insulting?
his wife, and says she's in the light."'
"Now, Janet, I will submit it to your
own judgment if that's a fair interpretation."
"You needn't do anything of the sort.
It isn't fair to suppose 1 have any judgment,
if what I say concerning Mildred?
perfectly ridiculous cognomen. Whoever
heard of Mildred for a servant's
name?''
"Why not Mildred!'"
"Why not Gwendoline,then,or Frcdegonde,
or Thusnelda? How would it
seem to be telling Gladys to brush the
dust off my shoes? And Mildred is just
as bad. If I had my way all the cooks
should ^ie Noras, and all the second girls
should be Ellens, and if they came from
England, then they should bn Elizas and
3Iary Anns, and it wouldn't sound as if
you were taking a liberty with your superiors
when your own name is
just plain Jane. I ought to have
been Rosamond myself, you know,"
said Mrs. Torrance, absently,
twirling the grounds in her cup," or
{Catherine, or Eloise, or something. Rut
I'm sure I have trouble enough with
these people without being troubled
with their names. And 1 don't believe
her name is Mildred, anyway. I believe
it's just plain Martha, and she took the
Mildred. If she took my diamond, she
wouldn't ston at tnkimr a nuinn Or
maybe it was just Miilv?And here Mrs. i
Torrance paused, not for breath, but in
amazement to see her husband's eyes
twinkle, anc3 he himself lie I aek in his
chair, as he pushed his plate away, with J
a laugh he could repress no longer.
'If she took your diamond. Well,
my darling', I am gliid you have arrived j
at the diamond once more. 1 began to j
think it had been lost again. Hut don't
tell me about the inconsequence of a
woman's mind. Its workings arc labyrinthine,
but the thought always conies
out at the place it went in. Now, let us
be business-like, if we can, Janet. What
makes you think that tin* pretty .Mildred
of ours took the diamond?"'
' Pretty Mildred! Well, perhaps because
she is pretty," said Mrs. Torrance, I
looking like a satirical sparrow.
"Not at all impossible," said her bus- j
band, graveiy.
"You don't mean to imply that 1 1
would denounce a person as a thief be
cause you said she was pretty?" cried !
Mrs. Torrance, half rising to her feet, j
"I've as good a mind to leave the table j
a? ever 1 had to eat. I would, if the ;
buckwheat cakes had come up.''
"My dear child!"
"You treat me exactly as if I were a
child." cried the outraged wife. "What
. do I care whether my maid is pretty or
not? JJeing pretty, apparently, doesn't
keep her hinds from picking and steal
BpPk. ing. I know she stole my diamond just |
as well as if I had seen her do it."
"But what would she do with it'." !
"What a question? As if that sort of
p2rson didn't know where to dispose of
things easily and take care of the j>ro- j
cccds! 1 wonder if Patricia is never going
to send those cakes up?"
"How 'u the world did ourcook come !
to he called Patricia?"
"1 called he so myself when she came. I
Her own nnmc was Hannah, a combination
of sounds I utterly detest, and !
wasn't going to have ringing in my ears J
ail the time. And she is so tall and
erect she justifies l'atritia. Don't you1
think so?"
"Ail right," said Mr. Torrence, thinking
it best to make uj reference to the !
Noras of a few minutes since, "But we |
were 8 jeakins: of Mildred."
"I did think very well of Mildred, I j
will confess, before this," said Mrs. Tor- '
ranee, with judicial calmness. ;'Shc is r
educating her sister, who has a voice?
such a voice! for a church singer, when
she will have a salary that will be wealth s
to them, ami give some lessons
beside. And she was wrapped tip
in her. And 1 took an interest ,
in them myself, and gnve her a silk
dress to make over, and irot a new clo.ik
that I really didn't need, so :is to
give Iter my old one (and 1 saw she had ,!
tlie good taste to take o!T some of the \
trimming), and lots of my old music, i
And out of her own wages Mildred h:is ;
to hire a room nnd a piano and pay for
her lessons; somebody gives lei her t
board till she can pay the debt, and it i
takes every cent Mildred earns; and you :
see it is quite natural that she should I
look about iter to lind where she- can 1
turn a penny?'' <
"An honest penny.'' said Mr. Tor- |
ranee. "A girl who is doing that for j
another is not one that would be likely ]
to turn any other sort of penny.'' <
"How you do love to interrupt me, '
Mr. Torrance! It really seems as if you 1
couldn't bear the sound of my voice! 1 i
was iroinir on to say, before you took the i
words out of my mouth, that recently ;
this sister of hers has been advised to i
take hysons of another master, who asks 1
all creation, but is really worth it. And <
he says he can make her voice a fortune i
to her. And they have been dreadfully *
cast down because they couldn't do it. <
And now you sec where the diamond j
comes in. If she can get for that stone i
anything near its value, her sister .Mabel 1
can take her lessons. And her voice is I
delicious?just perfectly delicious !" ex- i
I r-lnimot! Mrs. Torrance, fori/ettinLr the !
diamond again. ''.Mildred had her come
here and sing to inc. And 1 can't dc- 1
scribe to yon. I never heard a lark or 1
a nightingale, but a bobolink . isn't a
whistle to it. A flute, a trumpet? <
weli, it was sweet and satisfying and i
penetrating as the odor of some llowcr, '
and yet soft as the velvet side of the <
petal of the (lower. Angels would sing ;
so, maybe, if there aic any. And 1 was j
just carricd away. I forgot ali about 1
j her sister's being my maid. I cried and <
| I laughed, and I felt as if I had found I
her. And now 1 will solemnly tell you. !
Archy dear"?and the bent across the
pretty china service, transfixing him
with her radiant eyes?''I looked at my
vi?n- onil T tmnoil if <ind turned it. and <
I said to myself I have had the good of <
it ever since Grandfather De Peyser yave <
it to mc, aiul everybody knew I had it,
and my position was pretty well estab- I
lished, diamond rings or not, and when i
you were able to afford a real grown up ]
butler, you would probably get me <
plenty; and if I sold it now, and gave i
this poor dear girl the money to secure a s
career, what a blessing it would be to <
her, and what a joy I would be giving to 1
the world in her, too; for of course t;he :
wouldn't be confined to a church choir I
in that case, and if she were, in what <
a heavenly fashion could tlio-e tones of |
hers swim out over a prayerful audience,
and just take the prayer on their silvery i
strength, and lead it up, up; and any- i
body who is the means of producing I
more of them, and so brin?s down the i
price of prima donnc in the market, is a i
public benefactor, to be sure, anyway; i

Veasev to know anything about it, and 1
be taking the wind all out of my sails, I 1
just told Mabel to come again to-day and <
I would have something further to say to i
her! And so 1 shall!" cried Mrs. Tor- 1
ranee, taking breath with renewed vigor, l
"I shall have to tell her that her sister i
has been arrested for a thief, and she I
may go sing to her in prison." I
"Hut robbery is a very harsh term, i
Jauet darling, when carelessness may be 1
the whole thing." ;
"There it is again. My carelessness, J
not their dishonesty. "When I went to i
the washstand I turned the ring on my >

"Von arc always so wise after the act! 1
IIow do you know I wasn't going to t
take my rings oil? You arc so ready to I
find me at fault! Hut I thought at first
the stone must have washed out?'' c
"So it seems you did wash your hands t
with the ring on?" said the turning
worm. i
"Yes, I did. There! And I scut for 1
the plumber immediately, for I knew if <
it had washed out, it must have caught s
in the first trap; and lie took up the (
pipe, but it wasn't there. And he said <
if he made a real job of it, and went J
down to the main something, lie might :
find it there; but 1 thought that would (
cost more than the diamond itself?" 1
"Wise woman,'' groaned Mr. Tor- !
rauce. 1
"And so, you see, I didn't accuse Mil- '
dred in the first place. I searched, and
took everv nrecaution. I didn't think (
of such a thing till I saw her stand I (
there turning more colors than the lady (
in the lobster?"
"You don't say that you really have
accused her';"' '
"We'l, what if I have? I must lose
my diamond that my dear grandfather
gave me when I was married, and that ' '
1 treasured so, and end ire it all in J '
silence for fear some little hussy's feelings
will be hurt! My feelings are of : ;
no consequence at all! It isn't to be !
reckoned to my account that I was ready t
to. give her the diamond?and I love
diamonds. I don't think there's any- .
thing so boiutiful in the whole world." ]
"Hut, .Janet, you arc always so posi- 1
tive."
"How can you say so? What am I !
ever positive about? You wouldn't have J
me distrust the evidence of my senses?
And if I cvir saw guilt on any face?" !
"There is nothing more fallible than
the evidence of your senses."'
"1 beg your pardon. I can see as far,
and can hear as quickly, and taste as j
keenly as any one alive. And for you to j
begin to run down my eyes now?per- (

' For Heaven's sake, Janet, think

"I do think what I am saying," site
cried then, in a fury. "And 1 say,
whatever the evidence of my sensesunay
be, I have every evidence that you care
nothing at all for my feelings, and can
sec me robbed without lifting your voice,
and?nnd?oh, a husband ought to love
his wife, and protect her, and take her
part." And here Mrs. Janet rose hurriedly
and pushed over her chair, and
was running from the room.
Hut Mr. Torrance was not to lie outdone
by any such sleight of foot, and I
hud caught her in his arms befoie she j
reached the door. "And do you think," j
[ he exclaimed, "that 1 don't love you. |
you abominable iittlc mass of contradic- j
tions? Do you suppose that I won't pro j
j tect you with my life itself? Do you j
' fancy for a moment that I won't take I

"Let me <'o! Let me 'ro. sir?" she
exclaimed. "Or, else, at any rate, let |
me find mv handkerch:cf!'' And she
! struggled for her handkerchief, that the
kisses her husband gave her might nut
he too salt,and [lulling it from her pocket,
something in a great arc and stream
i of lustre whirled out with the violently
wrenched handkerchief, sailed through ;
the air like nothing so much as a Hying j ,
rainbow ,>nd fell at her feet.
It was the lost diamond.
Mrs. Torrance stopped in the midst of i 1
her tears, blushing, disheveled, diamond ; 1
dropped herself, as pretty a sight as a '
rose-bush in a shower, and held back her j '
skirts with both hands while she 1 >oked 1
at the great shining eye there before her 1 '
on the carpet. "The horrid thing!''sic '
said. "The horrid, uuwinkling, accus- j 1
ing thing! It is calling me all sorts of : !

"My dear." said Mr. Archy. "life with }

Butter by Lightning1.
The London S/iorl-ivntii says: "Making
butter by lightning is the latest craze
of the c'ectncians. The patent taken
out f<v this process is very simple. A
pair of electrodes are placed in a large
vessel of milk and a current runs through.
Directly the milk feels the force of the
electricity, and it undergoes u curious
change. Little balls of butter form upon
the electrodes and subsequently detach
themselves and tlont to the top. The I
butter is then collected, placed in a I
kneading machine, and worked up into I
the "best Dossit1' as fast as the operator I
can turn the handle. The process is
much ouieker than the old-fash
ioncd method of"churning. The only
ilrawback to the butter so made is that
it will not stand the onlcal of a thunder |
itorm. During the prevalence of any
severe atmospheric disturbance the rolls j
of butter stand on end, give out sparks,
!ind often leap about the place. Curi- I
onslv enough, this does not spoil the
butter, but it is found to be unpleasant
it the breakfast or tea table. Cheese
c:m be made by a similar process. It is
now proposed, in order to save time, to
apply an electric milker to theco .v. This
will sort the butter and cheese as the
milk leaves the teat. The quality of
the cheese is determined by the food
given to the cow and the strength of the
current. The most powerful currents
ure required to produce (lorgonzola or
I.imburger cheese, but it is not safe to |
make much of the latter kind, because i
the cow is always greatly exhausted
nfterward."'

It has been discovered that, the famous
tree from the bark of which quinine is
obtained furnishes no quinine except in
malarial regions. If the tri-e is planted
in a malarial region it will produce quinine.
If it is planted in a non-malaiial region
it will flourish, l ut will not produce
quinine. It is therefore claimed
that quinine is simply malarial poison
drawn from the soil and stored up by
the tree.
The antiquity of trade-marks has been
traced by a contemporary to be almost
coeval with the industry of the human
race. It has been found that ancient
I'abylon had property symbols, and the
Chinese declare that they had trademarks
1,000 years before Christ. (Jutenburg,
the inventor of printing, won a
lawsuit about a trade-mark, and the use
of a distinguishiiigstamp was recognized
by the Knglish parliament in 1U00.

There is no record of the distance
from shore at which divers have gone
down in the Atlantic ocean. They can
go down to certain depths at any part of
the ocean. As long aijo as 1850, E. P.
Harrington, of West livid, X. V., went
down 170 feet and rccovcnd the iron
safe of the steamer Atlantic, sunk in
Lake Erie the year before. lie was
dressed in a common diver's suit, and
remained down eleven minutes. A recent
French invention enables men to
descend over 800 feet.
The peculiar acid which exudes from
the pores of the body acts directly upon
leather, and takes the ' life" out, rendering
it stiff and hard. In a pair of shoes
recently returned to a prominent manufacture
the uppers were moist with
sweat, the soles dry. The kid leather,
when it hardened, was so brittle that it
could he torn and cracked like paper.
The destruction was caused by perspiration
of the feet. New shoes from the
same maker and of the same material
were perfectly sound and firm.
Professor Hiley states that ''insects

considerably more than one hundred

Many persons seriously damage their
eyes by forcibly rubbing them when
drowsy, especially when awakening in
the morning. To strengthen the eyes,
to relieve them when swollen or congested,
and to remove chronic inflammation
in the eyes, prurient discharges,
etc., nothing is c<|Ual to bathing them
frequently with water, at first tepid, but
afterward lowering in temperature to
absolute coldness.
A very effective and instantaneous
remedy in almost all cases of poisoning
is a heaping teaspoouful of common salt
and i-s much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in a teacup of tepid water. It

of the stomach, and lest there be
any remnant of poison, however small,
let the white of an egg, sweet oil or butter

immediately after vomiting.
. A Water-.Hnseiun.
A water-museum consists of glass ves
self containing fish, mollusks, larva*, and
such other creatures as will live in the
smill quantity of water These vessels
hold. The great advantage that the
water-nluscum has over an aquarium is,
that while the latter is bulky and has
many dark comers in which you can only
see with diHiculty, if at all, the jars of
the museum can be easily carried about
and held to the light, so that you can
readily observe the smallest movements of
your specimens. Beside, in an aquarium
you can have but one kind of water at a
time, either salt or fresh, and you keep
only those specimens that will live together
peaceably; but in a watcr-muscum
one may have both sorts of water (in
different vessels), and both marine and
fresh water specimens. This museum, or
water-cabinet, too, costs very little,while
an aquarium is not only expensive but
troublesome.
We must first make sure of a sunny
window, where the museum will be out
of the way, and where there is room for
a small table. Then we must forage for
the vessels in the glassware shop, or at
the dealers in chemical apparatus. 1
have often been able to pick up confectionary
ja:s which I got cheaply
because their tops were broken,
which, of course, made no difference to
me. I consider these the best for our
purpose, in size from four in :hos in diameter
by six in height to seven inches
in diameter and nine in height. The jars
must be placed on the table in the sunny
window, so that they will all get plenty
of light, as this is necessary to most
forms of life. One or two of the larger
jars had best be used for fish, and to
make them attractive their bottoms
should be covered with clean river sand
and pebbles, or fragments of rock in the
shape of grottoes, as the fish like to rest
on these and to cat the almost invisible
weeds that grow upon them. Of course,
all the vessels must be filled with water

water cross, villisncria or duck-weed,

Many kiiuls of water insects arc carnivorous,
or prey upon the weaker species. Of
course, it won't do to keep tlie.-:e in the
same jar with heir victims. To lind out

Keeping Rooms Cool.
A cool place should never be ventilated,
unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as cool
as that. The warmer the air the more
moisture it holds in suspension. Necessarily,
the cooler the air, the more this
moisture is condensed and precipitated.
When :i cool ce.hvr is aireu on a warm
lay, the entering air being in motion appears
cool; Ixit us it (ills the cellar, (he
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chills it. the moisture is condensed, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls, and
may often be seen running down them
in streams. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and late
?the last tiling before retiring. There
is no need to fear that the night air is
uuhealthful?it is as pure as the air of
midday, and is really lirier. The cool
air enters the apartment dining the ni^lit
ami circulates through it. The windows
should be closed befoie sunrise in the
morning, anti kept closed and shaded
through the day.?American Agriculturist.
POSTMEN OF THE WORLD.
HOW THE MAILS ARE CABBIES IN

Hail < airier*. 1
In my furthest wanderings, writes ;
1'. (iordon Cumming, the celebrated
traveler, in C?t.vell'* M(Hj?zim\ I have i
never yet reached any point ?o isolated i
as to be beyond the ministrations of the
postotlicc, but strangely varied have been
its emissaries. I had heard of a settler ,
in a wholly uncivilized island, who,
while building himself a boat, required
some tool which he had lelt at home, so
he selected a smooth chip of wood and
thereon wrote a message, which he bade
one ol tlic iiystar<cicrs curry to 111s wuc. |
Of course tlie man on seeing her look at
the chip and then delivcrto his care the
needful tool attributed the whole to
magic. Nevertheless, he had unconsciously
been a letter-carrier of the most
primitive type.
Slightly in advance of this is the system
ol writing with a sharply-poin'ed
instrument, on long strips of lirin green
palm leaf? a substitute for paper?which
is in common use in Ceylon and on the
scacoast of liindoostan, and wherever
the cocoa-palm tlouridies? or still bet
ter, the broad-leaved taliput or Palmyra l
palm. Whole books arc thus inscribed,
but for letter-writing it is particularly
useful, and the missive is folded and tied
up with a trail of natural string plucked
in the forest, and is slung from a light
stick and so carried to its destination.
In my travels in the Himalayas we
found a truly useful friend in the native
postmaster at Kofghur, which was the
furthest limit of the groat postal network.
Thenceforward as we journeyed
in the wilds he forwarded all our letters
by a very lightly-garbed special runner,
who carried them as English village
children carry sweet violets in the end
of a cleft stick. Thus the letter was
perhaps carried for several days and was
at length delivered as ciean as when it
started.
"The commonest type of Indian postrunner.
or 'Tappal wallah,'wears a long
white coat, very tight trousers inclose
iiio lonn Ipcru jiud his headdress Js a
huge li.jht blue turban. His letter-bag
is slung on his side, and it is necessary
that he should be a good linguist and
be able to read a great variety of strange
crabbed characters, for several of the
multitudinous languages of Ilindoostan
arc written in quite distinct characters,
all of which are alike incomprehensible
to our untutored eyes. The rural lettercarrier
of Ilindoostan carries along stick
villi a sharp iron point, which can be
used as a weapon in case of ne ed. This
stick is adorned with six little brass
bells, which serve to frighten away reptiles
and dangerous animals and also to
give notice of the approach of the post.
The danger from wild beasts is, in some
districts, a very real one, the 'tappal'
runners through the forest districts in
the south of Ceylon havin g occasionally
had very narrow escapes from 'rogue'
elephants and other wild beasts.
Of all varieties of Indian letter-carriers,
clothed or unclothed, none are so
picturesque as the Camel express messengers.
The men wear a serviceable
red uniform and large green turban embroidered
with gold thread. From
their girdie hangs a curved sabre in a
red sheath. The camels are adorned
with trappings of gay cloth and tassels,
ornamented with blue beads and cowrie
shells, and small brass bells round the
neck to give notice of their swift approach.
It is said that their rough and
rapid trotting, sometimes at the rate of
eighty miles ;i (lav, is so trying 10 inc
riders as to shorten their days. Two
heavy mail hags hang to right and left
on each side of the camel, and tho saddle
is so arranged that a passenger can
take a seat behind the, postman.
In no country of the world is the
postal organization more wonderful
than in Japan, the chief marvel being
that tiil about a dozen years ago there
was no regular government Institution
posts in the country.
In very strange contrast with this
extraordinary rapid postal development
in the little island empire of Japan, is
the equally wonderful stagnation in '.lie
vast empire of China, where, even to
this hour, there is no government insti
tution for the transmission of posts.
But as regards letters, a considerable
proportion of the 400,000.000 Chinamen
do occasionally exchange letters?those
who cannot write for them
selves hiring scribes to do so. These
letters arc consigned to firms which have
houses in all the large towns, wheie letters
arc forwarded to distant ports, to
be there distributed by special ngents,
who generally collect the postage from
the receiver.
On the death of the Emperor HicnFung,
intimation thereof was sen! from
his country palace (a distance of COO li,
which is upward of 200 miles) in twentyfour
hours, which is the highest speed
attainable in C'hna. But the placid
Celestials,to whom hurry appears a form
of vulgar impatience, and to whom telegraphs
are an abomination, arc content
that all ordinary communications should
be convcyed either by slow paddling or
poling boats, or else by foot-runners,
whose high sounding title of "the thousand-mile
horse" does not quicken their
pace beyond about twelve miles 111
twenty-four hours. They carry a paper
lantern and a paper umbrella, and their
letter-bag is secured on their backs by a
cioth knotted across the chest.
But though the rise and fall of nations
in the outer world of barbarians are
topics wholly without interest to these
millions, there arc some subjects which
call forth enthusiasm and an eager desire
for early information. Foremost
among these is the declaration of the list
Ot Sixty SllCCCSSlUi canuiuaies lur uiumrjr
degrees in tlie Confucian classics at the
great annual and triennial examinations.
So great is the competition for this
honor, that sometimes as many as 8,000
candidates present themselves in a single
province! Then, when this long-looked
for list is published, the rivers and
creeks in the neighborhood arc all astir,
and swift, lightly built boats, each
manned by half a dozen strong rowers,
slart olT at full speed to convey the news
to anxious relations and fellow citizens.
Others have made .agreement with
the owners of carrier pigcous, to whom
the lists are immediately forwarded, and
the messages, being inscribed on slips of
thin still paper, are rolled up into the
smallest possible compass and attached
to the legs of these winged letter earners,
who straightway start on their respective
journeys at a rate of eighty
miles in three hours.
"Of vehicles we find every conceivable
variety pressed in to aid the post
runner in his kbor. In Natal the post
cart is a light four-horse vehicle?not
much to look at, but capital as a means
of getting over vile roads with very deep
ruts. In the mountainous districts of
I3ra/.il, a two-wheeled wagon, drawn by
oxen, is in use?the wheels b:*ing cut out
of a solid block and fastened to the
axle.
"In some part of I'ussia, buffaloes
harnessed 1o two-wheeled vehicles convoy I
the postmen on their road, hut morefre- '
(juen'.ly mail-sledges are drawn by horses, '
l?y reindeer, or, in the far north, by dogs.
The latter wo fiiul again in Canada?as,
for instance, in the mail service between
I Selkirk and Lake Winnipeg, where the
J work is done by trains of letter sleighs,
eacii drugged by three dogs harnessed in
single lile.

iritablc pandemonium. Only those who
ay have visited what are know in a
ad-house as the "hollow squares,"
ere the more violent patients arc conled,
can form any idea of the horribic
lprcfl-ion made upon the mind by the
mioniic yells and howls which filled
ic fiir. The oiu farmer, informing us
nit it wa; his son that we heard, led the
ay to the house. . "There he is." said
pointing with his long, bony finsrer
i a large oak tree, a little ways removed
om the house. I looked and saw a
ild, brutish looking creature, whom it
ould be mockery to call a man, unuer
le tree, to which he was fastened by a
>llar and chain. lie was the veritable
ipersonation at last, of Caliban, a
range, uncouth monster, neither man
)r brute, but with the cra^teristics of
3th painfully blended, lie was entirenaked,
though his body was covercd
ith n short growth of shaggy black
xir. Around his neck was a heavy iron
>llar of home-made manufacture, and
> this was attached a heavy chain, fasticd
in the tree trunk by a staple. From
?e constant attrition of his neck the
jllar had been worn perfectly, smooth
id bright. He kept up a steady walk
-the monotonous, unreasoning trot of a
igcd animal. In his hand he carried
is chain to keep the weight of it of! his
cck. precisely as a monkey may be seen
> do. Now and then he would stop for
moment and give vent to a succession
f piercing screams,accompanied by such
orribly grotesque contortions of face
nd limb that one was lorceci to luru
way in very horror from the sight.
.rouDd the trunk of the tree was a
ath worn bare and smooth by his
jstless feet. He did not take the
lightest notice of our presence, and we,
f course, stood at a respectful distance,
he old man was not at all averse to
liking about his unfortunate son. From
child it had never shown the slightest
park of intelligence, and at its birth it
as scarcely even of human form. It was
ardly possessed of even the instincts of
n animal, for it never evinced any deirc
or made any signs for food or drink,
t had never manifested the ordinary
motions and sensibilities of a brute: it
Bemed absolutely indifferent to everytiing.
Food is placed within his reach
y his mother, who is the only person
rho dares approach him, and he cats of
although never seemiuc to care for it.
[e only sleeps when utterly worn out
y his unceasing tramp up and down uner
his heavy chain. In winter he is
ept in the house, but chained to keep
im away from the fire. Clothing it is
npossible to keep on him. lie is short
ut heavily buiit, and possessed of a
owerful frame. His arms are of exriioidinary
length, and of unusual musular
power; his hands 1 ar?e and
owerful, and-armed with long, clawke
nails. For forty years has this
rightful object lived, a constant soliciule
and terror to his parents. Strangely
nongh both his father and mother are,
anything, above the ordinary intellicncc.
His health is good, and to all
ppcarance he may live chained to the
lg tree for years to come.
Signs of Rain.
The following signs of rain were given
y Dr. Jcnncr, in 1S10. to a la lv, in rely
to her inquiry whether it would rain
)-morrow:
The hoilow winds begin to blow,
The cluuils look olack, the gluss is low;
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
An 1 spiders from their cobwebs creep;
Last night the sun went pale to be 1,
The moon in halves hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
for see, u rain now spans me sky;
The walls arc damp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel;
The squalid toads at dusk were seen
Slowly c rawling o'er the green;
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry,
The distant hills are looking nigh;
Hark! how tho chairs and tables crack!
Old Betty's joints arc on the rack;
And see yon rooks, how odd their flight,
They imitate the gliding kite
Or seem precipitate to fall
As if they felt tho piercing ball;
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flics disturb the kine:
Low o'er the griss tho swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how loud she sings!
Puss on tho hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws:
'Twill surely rain, I seo with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off to-morrow.

iw, whicn is respected and generally
nforced, requiring the market and all

"Mothers Should Note This."
Under this caption an old physician
rites to a Cincinnati Medical Journal,
liat in view of the fact that people liv12
at a distance from cities are frtuently
obliged to resort to cough mixiircs
already put up for use, they should
rovide themselves with only such rcmeies
as are known to be free from opiates,
oisons and nnrcotics; thus avoiding not
nly danger, but even fatal results. Ife
jcominends the recently discovered Red
tar Cough Cure which analyses and
ists by various Hoards of Health proved

flective and entirely harmless.

A Dally Defalcation.
Tho Hon. John Kelly, tho head and front
or Tammany Hall, a man of strict integrity,
an indefatigable worker, early at bis office,
late to leave, so burdened with business that
regular meals were seldom known by him,
with mind in constant tension and energies
steadily trained, finally broke down. ?
The wonder is that ho did not sooner give
way. An honest man in all things else, he ^
acted unfairly with his physical resources.
He was ever dawing upon this bank without 8
ever depositing a collateral. The account
overdrawn, the bank suspends and both arc
now in the hands of medical receivers. *
It is not work that kills men. It is irregularity
of habits and mental worry. Xo man
In good health frots at his work. Byo and
bye when tho bank of vigor suspends, these
men will wonder how it all happened, and ?
tiiey will kesp wondering until their dying
day unless, perchance, some candid physician j f
or interested friend will point out to thorn .
how by irregularity, by excessive mental
effort, by constant worry and fret, by plunging
in deeper than they had a right to go
they Uav<? produced that loss of nervous o:s
ergy which almost invariably ext>resses its ' ,
in a deranged condition of tho kidneys a:: '
liver, for it is a well known fact that the
poison which the kidneys and liver should j1
removo from tho blood, if left therein, soon j
knocks the life out of tho strongest and most j J
vigorous man or woman. Daily building up ' 1
of these vital organs by so wonderful and I
highly reputed a specific as Warner's safe J ,
euro, is tho only guarantee that our business j
npiicau have that their strength will bo ; '
equal to the labors daily put upon them.
Mr. Kelly has nervous dyspepsia, we learn,
indicating, ns we liavo said, a break down o!
nerve force. His case should be n warning to
others, who, pursuing a like course, will certainly
reach a like result.?The Sunday Her- 1

What Everybody Says
Must be true. And the unanimous praise which people
who hare used it give Hood's Snriapnrilla, should convince
those who have never tried this medicine of its
great curativo p.iwora. If you suffer from impure
blood, that tired feeling, depressed spirit t, dyjpepsia,
or kidney and liver complaints, give Hood's Sirsaparilla
a fair trial and you will bo greatly benefited.
" My wife has had Tory poor hoalth f>r a longtime,
suffering from indigestion, poor sppet.te end constant
headache. She found no relief till slio tried Hood's
Sirsaparilla. She is now taking tin third bottle, anl
never felt better in her life. We feel it a duty torecommend
it to every or.e we know." G. somebville
