The Emperor Napoleon, in speech at AL
giers, during his late visit there, gave his ideas
of what constitutes civilization. He said =
"Providence requires us to extend over this
land the benefits of civilization. Now, what
is civilizationp 1t is to consider happiness as
something, the life of man as much, and his
moral perfection as the greatest good. Thus,
to elevate the Arabs to the dignity of treemen,
to spread among them instruction, at the same
time respecting their religion; to ameliorate
their condition by raising from the earth all
the treasures which Providence has deposited
there, and which bad government would leave
sterile such is our mission, and we shall not
fail in it.

A DOC SToRY.-rhe dogs of Constan.nople
are famous for their ferocily, and it has been
supposed that they were incapable of attach
ment to man; but a Frenchman has lately
brought one to Paris with him under circumstan-
ces which prove the contrary. One day at Pc
IA, he noticed splendid specimen of these
wolf dogs lying with half-closed eyes in the sum-
and he went to him and caressed him. The
dog did not seem to understand it, and lay as
motioness as a stone Next day he repeated it,
and the next, and after several days the dog
seemed to learn the meaning of it, and followed
him to his hotel, and became his constant COM
panion. About two months afterward the
Frenchman having finished his business in Tur-
key, took passage ON a steamer for France, and
recommended his protege to the care of the ho-
tel keeper, who promised he should never suf-
fer. He forbade the dog to follow him, and

GIVE US LIGHT AND AIR.

Our parlors have become simply furniture
ware-rooms, not even "show-rooms," for light
is essential to good show of any sort; they
arc mere places for the storage of carpets. pic
lures and chairs that have cost money, and have
no doubt money value, but whose office is
sinecure, as far as making comfortable home
is concerned. On calling to see friend, we
are shown into an utterly dark and airless room.
After long time she appears, or something ap-
pears, of which we can dimly discover the out
line. If she is very amiable, she remarks by
way of conversation, "this room is very dark"
and raises one of the various coverings of the
window about an inch Thereupon comes in
light streak Of u sickly hue, that makes the pre-
vious darkness more visible. You have the
pleasure Of hearing her voice, without the slight
est notion Of her color, expression or looks
generally After You escape into the cheerful
brightness of out doors, she steps back into the
room, drops the shade closely again, and trips
up darkcncd stairway into another dark room,
there to sow, read or write, all the time strain
ing her eyes to the utmost, in her efforts to see
in the dark.
Her eyes "trouble her very much'-she "has
constant pain in her eyes and head"-she has
been TO this oculiSt and to that. and has paid
large sums of money, and nothing bctter."-
They all tell her one thing-she must "rest her
cNtS -SHc 'usGs tuCln 100 UlhCU, ana so on.
No part of this is true, as she has never used
her eyes in any good sense, though she has al
ways abused them. About eycry7hird person
of her acquaintance is affected in the same way,
and "Oh, dear, what can the matter be?" Her
grandmothcr-all their grandmothers in point
of fact-at oighty-two, could sew the incest and
urvst vAuct seam, and read the finest print in
the evening, with the aid of the usual glasses.
She lived all her long life in whose shut
ters were never closed save at night, and cur
tains of any kind there were none. The sun in
her day did not harm the rich Turkey carpets
that covered the floor, or the 'portraits by Cop
ley,' that hung upon the wall Her aunt, at
seventy-one, can make as elegant a button-hoe
as eyes ever saw, can embroider muslin and
cambric in beautiful style, and in fine plain sew
ing, has few equals. Her mother at sixty could
see to mark her own name in full, eighteen let
tiers, with her own hair on the finest cambric
handkerchief, and at sixty-nnc can do almost
anything that can be done with needle, in the
most worNmanikc manner. These three ladies
spent thirty years OF thcir lives in full view of
the Boston harbor, and the uso of spv-rlass
was one of their almost daily recIeatons. These
are not exceptional cases. Any one can recall
similar facts among the circle Of their friends
between the ages of sixty and eighty years. But
our modern lady is "troubled with her eyes =
she has, in fact, no soundncss in her From
the crown of her head to the sole of her foot,
she is a bundle of ailments produced by broken
laws.- Bo2toa Transcript.

went on board the steamer, where his compass
sion was excited at seeing the dog, who had
followed him at distance, sitting on the shore.
But when the steamer started, all we're aston
ished to see the dog plunge into the water and
follow after On and on he swan until, the
speed of the steamer increasing, he began to
howl in distress. At last the passengers begged
the captain to take him on board, and boat
was lowered to pick him up SO the ex-vaga-
bond of Constontinople has become the tax-pay-
ing Parisian.

NICIsSITUDEs OF ROME AND HER PoPES.-
The Papacy is not so near its end as many hope
and expect. 1t has survived many tug us
hard as the present. In 1927 the combined
German and Spanish armies of Charles V.
stormcd and sacked Rome, enacting in its
streets the most diabolical crueltics, burning
torturing, robbing, ravishing, and destroying
for ten days. Some six thousand Of the inhab-
itants persisted, l0,000,O00 crowns of plunder
were collected, and Pope Clement VII. paid
100000 ducats for his own ransom. Luther
thought that the end of Rome had come. But
it has survived and recovered. Sixty years ago
it was in the hands of Napoleon, who seemed TO
hesitate whether to crush it or not. In 1920,
1881 and 1913 it was prey to revolution Gar
ibaldi himself, at the last date, expelling the
Pope, who escaped in the disguise OF footman
on Il coach box. A repubican government was
then established but another year saw him back
again, and now he looks for support from the
despotisms which would themselves trembe at
his fall. His temporal dominion is really his
weakness, and not his strength, and when he is
well rid of it he will reign as head of the Ro-
man Catholics with more substantial influence
than for long time past-English Paper.
New METHOD OF DERIVING ANIMALS OF
LIFE.-The means proposed for instantly de-
priving animals of life consists in the introduct-
ion of air into the venous system. The effect
of this vital action was accidentally discovered
by Doctor Auber during surgical operation.
1t is asserted that this method is not only pain
less but that it offers no difficulty in regard to
the subsequent preparation of the animal for
food. In this case we may hope that the kind
ly purpose for which the uninviting investiga-
ton of the practices of slaughter-houses was
undertaken, may not fail of effect in diminish
ing the suderngs which now end the career of
our slaughtered animals

afternoon, while Officer Daniel +. Jones, Hack In
spector was in the vicinity of the Atlantic Dock Basin,
his attention was attracted to boy in boat, who was
screaming Justify for assistance and pointing to the
water. Officer Jones took boat, and proceeding TO

nearly erect on the bottom of the basin, apparently
bausted. Jones procured boat-hook and quickly
raised the boy to the surface when he was taken into

water moment longer he must have sulocated. The
boy, with his companion, playing in the boat and

lad about IA years of age named Martin Mclaughlin
was brought before Justice Cornwel Yesterday the
charge of assaultng another boy somewhat younger
than himself with sungshot, inilicting injuries of
serions character. The name of the injured boy is
Scott Quimby, who, being on his way 10 school in
Wiloughby street, saw larger boy beai'rg smaller
one. He went up and gave the large BOY push,
when as alleged, Mclaughlin ran up and struck him.
The statement OF the accused is that Quimby aud other
boys beat him few days previous, ard as he was
going to school yesterday they attacked himself and
brother again. when he used the slung-shot The ac-
cused was held TO answer.
