NoN-PRODUCTIVEP PRoPERTY-SMALL
RENTS AND GREAT RIsKS.-Many peo
pie who have little money make great
mistakes in its investment. Not unlre-
quently they purchase twice as much as
their money will pay for, and the risk
they run in being able to keep up the
rents and down the interest is too heavy.
The present time reveals so many of these
transactions that it is scarcely worth
while to refer to them. Yet those who
have not committed such mistakes need to
be reminded of the inducement thai is
always put before them to take the smal
means they possess. 1t is a safe rule al
ways to pay for what you buy and never
to buy without first ascertainng whether
the yearly products from the purchase is
sufficient to pay the interest of the invest.
ment, the taxes and a liberal amount fo,
repairs. Very often old property costs SC
much to keep it in repair and pay taxes
that it is impossible to net six per cent
even if the rents are punctually paid
but at times such as the present, rents are
not to be got and between what is lost
by non-payment by tenants and monroe
cupancy in consequence of frequent Sc,
cret removals, very little revenue is I'd bt
had. Hence those who have slnal
means should be careful how they inves
ia property that is used by those who's
personal effects are easily moved, and i
followed Will sell for too small an amollp
to pay. Next to this. investments in boz
productive property OF vacant lots are es
pecially to be avoided. since the risk /.
much too great for those of small mex AN!
to take. It often happens that ,ots viii
seem the most likely to be IN demhnC
now in five years will be less N deman
This is often occa,ioned by the chang,
which building operations frequertl,
take. In some parts Of our city lots are mo
worth dollag more than they were tW en-
tyyears ago. Consequently those whotleI
refused 10 sell might have made in inter
~ by doing 50 aud investing in produc
tve property nearly double what thti
lots would sell for now.

BrOths of Byes at the Dublin University

The junior dean of Trinity College,
Dublin, sent for the police on the last
Sunday in February. At midnight a
large number of students assem- bled In
front of his residence and sounded fog
horns. The dean, on going out to in
undate them with threats of expulsion,
was assaulted by students who wore
masks and walls, and who pummeled
him until a stalwart porter sprang to
his rescue. Doors wers torn from their
hinges; bonfres were kindled; windows
were smashed; the keys of the belfry
were purloined, and the bell was tolled.
The emeute grew out of the unpopu-
larity of the dean. He had fined a
student for appearing without academ-
lc costume, and had put an end to a
game of football. Before this cut
break the dean had been subjected to
minor prosecutions; his letter.box had
been crammed with squibs, and when
these exploded and he rushed out to
find out what was the matter, skirmish-
ers had entered his room, foored the
porters and smashed tbs furniture.
Altogether the students seem to be the
same boisterous, devil-may-care revel-
ers whose portraits Charles Lever has
sketched with bold hand

Children will all be interested to know

do precisely. the same things, and have
been doing them all their lives. There
is an old woman who carves cats, dogs,
wolves, sheep, goats and elephants.
She has made these animals her whole
life long, and has no idea how to cut
anything else. She has no model OF
drawing to work by, but goes on
steadily, using gauges of d fferent sizes,
and shaping her ANIMALS with wonder
full ease and truth to nature. She

An Italian Horror.

A few weeks ago the children at
tending school kept by a priest at
Capua, Italy, were left to themselves a
few minutes, and one of them allowed
a favorite canary of the masters to
escape from the cage. When the lat
ter returned he demanded the name
of the culprit, and On Diminishing the
other children to their dinner, desired
him to stay behind, and 60 down on
his knees as a further punishment.
The other children, IS they passed the
butcher shop of their school fellows
father, explained why he wouldn't be
home to dinner, and presently his
mother went to intercede for. him.
When she made her way into the room
she found the poor little fellow lying
dead, crucifed on table, his feet be-
ing cut off because the table was not
long enough. When her husband
came, he discovered the priest in an
adjoining room, and plunged poign-
ard into his heart, killing him at
once.

Monster Ship Building.

ship under construction at Chatham
dockyard, England, circumstance
which has not occurred for several
years past. The vessel which is new in
course of construction is the Again en-
non, which is intended to be q power
full ship, of the infexible type, it being
intended that she shall be built in ali
respects on the same principle as that
vessel. Although q number of addi-
tional hands have teen placed on the
Agamemnon, and her massive keel is
steadily rising, it will be fully two years
before she can be completed. But
though only one armor clad ship is
actually On the stocks, the designs and
plans for another have been prepared
at the Admiralty, and a sum for it's
construction will appear in the esti-

THE cooD-BY.
BY A. DEMUssKT.

Come into the garden and walk with me,
While dancers whirl to that dreamy tune,
See, the moonlight silvers the sleeping sea,
And the world is fair as night in June.
Let me hold your hand as used to do,
This is the last, last time you know,
For to. morrow wooer comes to WOO
And win you, though love you so.
Oh! it is because we must part tonight
That the music seems so sad ? alb me;
You are crying, love, and your lips white,
Oh! the ways of life are mystery.
love you, love, with love SO true
That in coming years I'll not forget
The beautiful form and face knew,
And the thought Will always hold regret.
I shall stand by the aea as 1 stand tonight,
And think of the vision whose brightness died
When winters frosts fell chill and white
On the fairest flower of the summer-tide.
They are calling you. Must let you go?
Must say good-by and go my way?
If you must go, it is better so,
Good-by's such sorrowful word to say.
Give me, my love- one last sweet kiss
So we kiss our dear ones and see them die;
Death holds no parting SO sad as this:
God bless and keep you, and so-good-by.

learned in like manner from hers. She
has now taught the art to her grand
daughter. In the house next to that of
this old woman lives fine, brown man,
who carves large Christs for churches.
1t is a sight to see Herr Schooner at work.
He has no model. His block is not
even pointed, as it would be if he cut it
in marble. He has nothing to guide
him save his consummate knowledge,
but he dashes at his work in wonder
full way, scooping out the wood in long
flakes st every rapid stroke. But he is
an artist. It takes him ten days to cut
figure Of three-quarters life size, and
fifteen to execute one as large as life.
The wood for the last costs fifteen
forms, and his price for the figure is
forty-five, about "a los English.
