In the course Of his wandering among
the Pyramids of Egypt, Lord Lindsay
the celebrated English traveller. accident.
ally came across mummy, which the In
scrlptlon upon 1t proved to be at least two
thousand years old. In examining the
mummy after 1t was carefully unwrapped,
he found In one of its clenched hands a
small round root. Wondering how long
vegetable life would last, he took the little
bulb from the mummy's hand andplanted
1t in sunny soil, allowed the rains and
dews of heaven to descend upon 1t, and
In the course of few weeks to his aston
ishment and joy the root burst forth and
bloomed into beautiful flower.

The Lazy Man.
ny TIE PAT CONTRIBUTOR.

The lazy man Is almost always good
natured. He never flies into q passion.
He might erarl into one. II that were pos
sible, but the idea of his flying into any
thing Is preposterous.
Whoever heard OF n lazy man breaking
into bank, where crowbar had to be
used, or drilling into safer Nobody.
Not that he might not covet his neigh bor's
goods therein contained, but his horror OF
handling crowbars and drills would al
ways deter him from actually committing
burglary. He never runs away with his
neighbours wife, simply on account OF the
horrors he has of running. If he Is ever
known to run, 1t is-run to seed.
He rarely lies ABOUT his nelghbors. fol-
Il would be too much exertion, but he can
lie about bar room all day.
He Is of inestimable service to bill
lard saloon, keeping the chairs warm and
watching the game, for few would care
to play were there no spectators. The
fact that he does this without pay, day
In and day out, shows the unselilshness
of his nature. What an industrious man,
who considers his time worth something.
would want pay for, the lazy man gen.
orally does for nothing, showing free
dom from mercenary motives that should
20 far to his credit.
The lazy man never gets up revolution,
Instructions or other popular excite
ments, and don't make nuisance of him
self BY tramping around the country max
ing incendiary speeches to promote pub
lie discomfort.
In his own neighborhood he Is never q
busy body in other peoples affairs, for the
very idea of being a 0rsy-body at anything
would drive him cut Of his head. BY the
way. II he ever got olt Of his head, you
would have to drive him out, for he
wouldn't have the energy to so out Of his
own accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad. lfhe went
crazy, II was because he couldn't 80 any.
where else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet Of
peaceful nelgbbors by putting up fac
tories. furnaces, and such denominations.
Finally. lazy men don't get up baseball
clubs, which, IL nothing else could be said
In their favor, ought, in these days of ex-
cessive base-ballins, to entitle them to
public gratitude.

Sunday Reading.

The true Sunday school worker docs not
propose the substitution of the school for
the family. His highest desire is the Co
operation Of the parents In the work Of
moral and religious training. If in the
minds of any the labor of the teacher be
construed rs fulfilling all obligation In
this training of the scholar, who Is to be
censured? Shall the teacher, the school,
or the mode OF Instruction. IL Sunday
schools were universally abandoned
would parents address themselves con-
scientiously and faithfully to the training
of their own children?
Parents who have relaxed or neglected
family instruction, and who have been led
To- this neglect In consequence OF the sup
posed assumptions or responsibilities of
teachers, have grave reasons to pause and
reconsider. Unhelped by the parents the
fondest expectations Of the best Of teach
ers must perish.
