A Frightened Ofhcer.

There is big medicine at Changchow.
The officials arrested eight magicians,
or paper men, and threw them into
prison. There was female accomplice,
and inasmuch as the social theory that q
woman cannot keep secret is one OF
the Oldest axioms of Chinese philosophy,
the mandarian determined to treat her
leniently, in the hope of coaxing her to
confess. The lady was searched, and an
enormous Chinese blister was found
upon her ribs. Concealed elsewhere on
her person were sprites of paper and
brass, and these. it seems, were the in
struments wherewith she coniured.
" Make me full confession" said the
mandarin, "and / pledge you my word
that you shall escape unhurt." " You
shall know all about it tonight" re-
piled the maiden. She tied string to
paper sprite and muttered an incanta-
tion in about fifteen minutes the thing
of paper became thing of life, moving,
futtering. growing, flying, until it was
an enormous kite. Then she took one OF
the brass men; 10 itmoved and snorted
there was o dreadful sound, like the
tramp and clangor of an armed host
marching In mid air. The poor man.
darian saw and heard it all, but he
understood nothing. The woman kept
the secret. The mandarin was scared.

" Home, Sweet HOme.N

"Clari, or the Maid of Milan" pro-
duced in 1928, contains one piece that
is known in every English speaking
country" Home, sweet home" Clari
is beautiful peasant girl, who has ex-
changed her fathers lovely cottage for
the splendor of the dukes palace and
become his bride. But she pines for
the simple life she has Jed, and as she
enters, fatigued and melancholy, she
sings this song. The words are by John
Howard Payne, an American, and though
the music was called by Bishop q
"Sicilian air" it is now generally agreed
that it was really composed by him. " 1t
is the song" says Clari, "of my native
village-the hymn of the lowly heart,
which dwells upon every lip there, and
like spell-word brings back to it's home
the affection which e'er has been be-
trayed to wander from it. 1t is the first
music heard by infancy in its cradle ;
and our cottagers, blending it with ali
their earliest and tenderest trecollections,
never cease to feel it's magic till they
cease to ive." The air is heard again
during the play oho-Tg of villagers
sing 1t when Olari reviF' +. her home.

THE CASTAWAIS.
Life on n Desert Rock.

This was the usual daily routine, from
which the reader will be able to form
some idea of the life we led, says one
who was cast away on a desert rock:
L got up about seven o'clock and took
the ashes out OF the fireplace, Lit the
fire, and swept out the house with a
birds wing. When the stone pot got
heated, put in the grease, and if we
had eggs we fried them in it, or cooked
the meat in it. It generally took about
couple of hours to cook the breakfast,
as we could do little at time my
mother looked after it sometimes. After
breakfast / often went down to the gully
and had wash-with eggs when plenti-
full, often using a dozen of them and
when they could not be spared, cut a
penguin's throat over piece of rag,
scrubbing myself with the blood, and
then washing it off with water; it was not
such good plan as the eggs, but was
better than nothing.
My wash over, L would get birds for
our evening meal, either young penguins
or molly hawks, and then set to work
skinning and cutting them up. After
that 1 generally killed and skinned
about fifty old penguins and stored up
the skins for winter fuel. Thirty fat
skins were about as much as a man in
our reduced state could carry easily. l
packed them in stacks about four feet
high. The old-kept skins burnt we'll,
though they smelt strongly, and were
full of maggots but we were very glad
to have them. l stored about seven
hundred or eight hundred, which would
have lasted us some time, as we only
burnt about five or six in our small fire
during the day.
was always glad to get my skinning
over, as 1 had got so sick of it f; and
dreadful looking figures we must some
times have been-our hands and clothes
covered with blood. and our faces often
spotted with it, The evening meal was
generally cooked by my mother, OF
which I ate some, leaving little for the
morning, then got in water for the
night, put the turf on the fire, and
retired to bed, or rock rather. gener-
ally slept well, except when dreamed OF
skinning peDguins. My mother also
slept pretty well, considering the dis
comfort, etc. On Sunday 1 never did
any skinning, but washed myself in the
gully in the morning. We always had q
supply of f. cd ready for the Sunday.
then paid visits to some of the other
shanties, and got all the news, such as q
new yarn and dreams were great
source of amusement-we dreamt in
such a realistic manner.
Having dreams was quite like letter
by post, for they took our minds off the
island, and enabled us to forget for a
time our miserable Cumstances, and
any interesting ones 1 retailed to my
mother. In the night when we awoke
we invariably asked each others dreams,
which were often about something to
eat, often about being at home aud the
ship that was to take us off the island
always pleasant Dreaming, in fact,
was by far the pleasantest part of our
existence on that miserable island.
Many were the prophecies that were
made about when we should get off.
At first we anxiously paid attention to
them; but when one or two turned out
wrong, no one took much account OF
| them,

sobriety and purity. This is in &C
cordance with the teachings Of the Bible.
How many OF us, who are growing
old. wish we could be boys again
Whyi Because we see so many things
to. regret, so many wrong turns we have
taken. To be a boy, with life before
you, with the clean page on which to
write your record, with opportunities
coming that you can improve-what a
position, what privilege To be an
old man, with record all stained and
blotted, knowing that no mortal hand
can clean the page; with opportunities
unimproved, and lost never to return
this is dreadful
A wicked man, who had been a stage
driver, was, during the last few days of
his life, very uneasy, an on his death
bed he constantly moved his feet, and
looked distressed. When asked by his
wife: " Harry, what is the matter9" he
said "Oh, I'm on an awful down
grade, and can't find the brake" Dear
young friends. your feet are on the
brake. Keep them there. You have,
under God, the future in your power;
your destiny in your own control. Re
member there is no one evil in the world
before which SO many fall, as the evil of
intemperance.
I most earnestly desire that the youth
of our country, especially our Sabbath
school scholars, shall give all their in
huence against this great evil. May
God help you to avoid the perils in
life's journey, and the traps that are set
for your feet, so that from your place of
safety you may reach out your hand to
help the tempted who are struggling in
their chains, and may by self-denial be
enabled to "fulfill the law of Christ,
by helping some poor burdened souls
into the higher life of purity and free

The Prevention Of Suicide.

1t has often been said of people slight
ly insane who commit or attempt sui
eide, that they are moved by unreason-
ing selfshness or vanity. Even vanity
might, and we venture to think would,
be in many cases overborne by the recol-
lection that suicide is murder, and that
the person who commits it will be treat
ed after death as O felon-his body
buried without Christian rites, his fami-
Iy disgraced and his property lost to
them. The man who could make End
sign disposition of his property with
the intention of suicide clearly in his
mind would be more determined on self
destruction than certainly half of the
persons who at present commit the dread
full act.
1t has not, we believe, been denied by
medical men that the homicidal mania
is frequently restrained by the fear OF
punishment. But, as the law is at pre-
sent orked, many cases occur in which
the maniac coolly acts upon the impu.
nifty which will attend his crime. The
same feeling may work upon suicides.
They may, and often do, know and be-
lieve that under no circumstances will
the old law be brought to bear upon
their case. Among recent examples
there is large proportion in which the
suicide, however insane upon the one
point, was perfectly sane upon every
thing else, and, there being no restrain
ing thought in the fear of legal conse-
quences, has been left to commit self
murder as an act affecting himself alone.
There are many men to whom disgrace
appears worse than death. Such feel.
ing is not uncommon even among those
whose intellects are considerably dis
ordered. Stealing, adultery, blasphemy
are quite impossible to many man who
will yet commit suicide. The idea Of
hurting another is often more repugnant
than that of hurting oneself.
There are many with whom consid-
Grafton of the injury done to their fami-
lies would operate powerfully as deter
rent, even more powerfully than the
desire to crafty the suicidal impulse.
Passion is thus controlled. and the man
who would stick at no crime to attain an
end where his own longings are concern :
ed is yet held back by the consequences
his rashness may bring upon those whom
he loves, or even those with whom he
wishes to stand well. 1t is not possible
to believe that if every intelligent sui
cide-that is, every suicide whose intel
lect has only failed on the one point
could be shown, whether by argument
or by witnessing the experience of
others, that his crime would be punished
by social disgrace, he might not be in
duced to hesitate, and, as in all diseases,
time gained would be life saved.
The impulse is often transient. Re-
strained for a sufficient period it dies
out, and every consideration, legal and
moral, which can be used for it's restraint
should be diligently sought out and en-
ployed. Half dozen verdicts of .(elo-
desc would have stronger influence,
we are convinced, upon intending sui
cides, and would have greater effect
upon the annual number of cases than
any medical treatment whatever.
