: A LESSON TO A KING.

An ancient Persian fabulist tells the
story Of a king who. having hanged biz
general because be had lost battle, re.
solved, in his rage. to kill the widow and
children of the unfortunate officer also
The whole country was in distress be-
cause of this cruel and unjnst resolution.
and numerous petitions were sent in. But
all this was in vain. The despot became
all the more implacable as his sense of hu-
manity was appealed to.
One day the kings chief counsellor
threw himself at the feet Of his master,
and asked for justice. He was accom-
panied by his daughter, a women of un.
paralleled beauty.
Ruler of the world" he said. "your
physician, seeing that my daughter sur
passes bis daughter in beauty. as the sun
surpasses the moon in glory. has. in fit
Of jealcusly. deformed my child by
throwing caustic fluid over her face"
Having said these words, be unveiled
his daughters face. An ugly black spot
was exposed. which terribly disfgured
the otherwise beautiful countenance of the
poor girl.
The king. reused to anger BY the sight
Immediately sent for the physician.
"Why have you done this to the wo-
man !" he asked.
The physician gave no reply.
"By the sun and all bis hosts" cried
the king, "with thy head shalt thou pay
for this offense."
He beckonsd to the captain of the
guard, who at once stepped forward to
execute the verdict. But the physician
produced sponge from his bosom. and.
dipping it in basin Of water. with one
stroke thoroughly washed away the black
spot.
"What is this p asked the king.
"Ruler of the world" the counsellor
answered, lyon have sentenced my friend
the physician, to death because he only
dis6gursd girls face by stain which
could be washed of easily; but what sem
tence will the Eternal Judge have to cast
upon you. if You cast such a stain upon
your conscience as you purpose-a stain
which all the water of the ocean cannot
wash awayl"
The king. deeply struck by the ques-
tion, abandoned his cruel intention, and
sent the widow and children Of the de-
ceased general home. enriched with TO-
kens Of his princely munifcence.

THE CHINESE pIG.TAILS.

It is curious how the Chinese came to
were pig-tails. Several hundred years
ago the inhabitants Of China wore their
lair as we do, but there was a war be-
tween China and Tartary, and the Chi.
nese got the worst Of it and were con.
quered. When the first Tartar King of
the present dynasty came to the throne
he determined to humble the pride of
the Chinese. He began in 1864, by or.
dering everybody to shave off all the
hair except tufs on the crown; that be-
ing the way he wore his own hair. There
were q great many proud and high-spir-
tied gentleman in China who would not
obey the command, and the result was
that they had their heads chopped of.
1t 10 rather an uncomfortable thing for a
man to lose his head. The Chinese
thought 50. and concluded to shave and
braid their hair into pig tail, although
il was an act of degration. They felt it
keenly. but as the years rolled on they
forgot the humiliation. and began to like
the fashion. As soon as the pig tail be-
came fashionable, the young gentlemen
Of China tried to get up the longest,
neasest. and glossiest tails possible. They
cultivate them just IS young gentlemen
in the United States, and almost every
where else cultivate their whiskers and
moustache, greasing, conbing. brushing
and lingering them allthe time.-Haney's

RAVAGES OF WILD BEASTS In INDIA.

1t has been reckoned that at least ten
thousand people die every year in India
of snake.bites. The new plan of inject
ing ammonia into the wounds may tend
to diminish the number of deaths from
snake. bites, if it succeeds in India as we'll
as it has in Australia; but the havoc
caused by tigers, leopards, and other
wild beasts, if not greater in fact than it
was some years ago, has at any rate been
serious enough to draw from Lord Mayo
a demand for help on the part of the
local governments in devising measures
to abate the evil.
Man-eating tigers are the special terror.
of the countryside. The taste for human
flesh either grows with indulgence, or
becomes last resource of tigers Of ad-
vanced age, whose energies are no longer
equal to the demands of their appetite.
We had always imagined that the latter
was the true way of accounting for the
ravages of the "man-eating" class. and
the NANCY appearance for which they are
remarkable. 1t is certainly a curious
fact that the tigers in the Oudh jungle
seldom prey on man. being plentifully
supplied with wild pig and other large
game. There, too, they are such towards
that herdsmen armed with latties, or IRON
bound sticks. often drive them away from
their own cattle. A driver of mail
cart will also scare them away by merely
sounding his bugle. Elsewhere, how
ever. they are either bolder or have less
choice of food. In the central provinces
it is thing Of yearly occurrence to hear
that man-eater has posted himself near
some district-thoroughfare. whence he
falls on unwary travellers and toiling pea
SAINTS, until. emboldened by practice, be
carries off his prey from within the village
inclosure. In the Chanda district alone
one of these brutes killed, in short time,
127 people, and stopped all traffic for
many weeks ON the road from Mool to
Chanda. A tigress in Chindwarrah slew,
according to native estimates, $50 people
in three years, causing the abandonment
of the villages. and throwing $50 square
miles out of cultivation. Another old
tigress in Kurnool carried off sixty.four
human beings within nine months, stopped
the post-runners and police.patrols, and
scared away the laborers employed on
public works. One of her victims was
the head constable. The brute's average
allowance seems to have been one man
every three days. 1t was only by keep
ing together in numbers and making a
horrible noise with " "tomtoms " that trav-
elers could safely pass that way. At
last broad strip of jungle was cleared
away from either side the road, and in
due time the beast was hunted down.
In the Bhagalpore district alone of
Lower Bengal as many as 1,4s4 people
were killed by wild beasts in six years
During the same period 13,401 deaths
from wild beasts were reported for BEN
gal Proper, of which 4,2ls are ascribed
to tigers. l.4O7 to leopards. 4,2s7 to
wolves, l74 to hyenas. and los to bears

wildered are we by the unexpected ad-

an old boat in the brilliant sunshine, we
discovered, one morning. one of those
dried-up old grandperes, and enterec into
conversation with him. He told us merry
tales Of the furtraders, their wild adven-
lures in the far West. and their gay meet
ings at Mackinac twice year, when
from all directions assembled the loaded
bateaux. and the canoes freighted with
the spoils of the wilderness. In his lit

sang for US one Of the boating-songs,
which we have endeavored TO translate,
as follows:

nEAsURIHa THE BABY.

BY INNA ALICE BROWN.
We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold, -
And the boy was just as tall!
A royal tiger lily, f. .. -
With spots Of purple and gold,
And heart like . jewsled chalioe,
The fragrant dew to hold.
without the blue-birds whistled
High up in the old roof-trees,
And to and fro At tho window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists Of tho baby
We're never . moment still,
Snstching at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill
His eyes were wide 40 bluebells-
His mouth like flower unblown-
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice.
Pseped out from his snowy gown;
And We thought, with thrill Of rapture,
That had yet touch Of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses.
Wen measure the boy again.
All, me l In darksned chamber,
With the sunshine shut awsy.
Through tears that fell like bitter rain
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet, that were dimpled
And sweet as budding rose.
Lay side by side together.
In the hush Of long repose!
Up from the dainty pillow,
White Is the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling.
With the light Of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands, like rose-lesves
Dropped from the rose. lay still.
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below:
And out Of the darkened chamber
We won't with o childless moan
To the height Of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown!

ABSENCE OF MIND.

OOStoi oOoiou SohnPoOh, "ho h'tN A"i
many years on the Western Reserve, in
Ohio, was a skillfal physician, but wi,hal
one of the most eccentric and absent
minded persons in the world. except
Margaret, his wife, and she was fully his
equal, One Summer morning the Doctor
was caught out in tremendous shower,
which drenched HIM to the skin. 1t
soon cleared Of. however, and Doctor
Josh rode into bis own yard, where he
took the dripping saddle from his horse
and let him 60 adrit into the pasture.
The saddle he placed on a stout log of
wood which was elevated some four feet
from the ground on two posts, where the
doctor had begun 10 build platform to
dry biz peaches on,
After having got his saddle fixed so it
would dry,he took the bride, and, putting
the bit over the end Of the log. he
stretched out the reins, and hitehing
them to the horn Of the saddle, went in
to change his wet clothes and get break
fast. Josiah, Jr., and Margaret, Jr, were
away from home ON a visit, and so the
two seniors sat down to the morning meal.
When they were about half through. Jim
Atwood, a farmer who lived about eight
miles distant. came in, telling ,he doctor
he wished he would go over to his house.
as he reckoned he might be wanted over
there. and then went off to the village in
hurry, after some necessary "fxens.''
When the doctor finished his meal, he
took his saddle-bags and out he went into
the yard. where he deliberately mounted
his saddle and set out in imagination for
Jim Atwood's.
For long time he rode on In silence.
with eyes intently fixed on Buchan's
Practice. which lay open before him. At
length he began to feel the effect of the
fierce rays Of a mid day sun, and on look
ing up from his book he discovered a
house close by him upon which he sung
out Justify for drink of water.
Aunt Margaret, who had been for the
las. two hours very busy in the garden,
soon made her appearance with pitcher
of milk, and after the thirsty stranger
had taken q long draught. they entered
into an animated conversation, the Doc
tor launching out into rapturous praises
of the scenery about the place, the neat
ness of the buildings, the fine orchard Of
peach and apple trees; and the lady, who
had caught glimpse of the saddle-bags
made great many inquiries about the
health Of the neighborhood, etc.
The Doctor finally took bis leave of
the lady. assuring her that he would call
on his return and have some further con-
versation with her. as she reminded him go
much of his wife, who, be was sure would
be very happy to make her acquain-
tance.
The lady turned to enter the house
and the Doctor had just gathered up the
reins, when Jim Atwood dashed up to
the gate with his horse all in lather of
foam.
"What on earth are you doing Doc.
tor 7" yelled Jim; get of that log and
come along.
The Doctor was greatly astonished at
first, but after a few minutes It got
through his hair that he had been all the
morning riding a beech.log in his own
dooryard.
