A Pleasant Home.

After all that has been said of the
material resources which can be en-
ployed to make home happy, it must
be kept in mind that only pleasant
people make pleasant home. No
beautiful and costly architecture, no
cultivation of natures gifts of trees
and flowers, no adornment of art, or
any luxury that wealth can buy, can
make pleasant home for unpleas-
ant people.
The father who is rough and ty-
rannical, the mother who is a scold.
and the brothers and sisters who are
quarrelsome, can destroy all the
true life and happiness of the most
elegant and beautiful home. A
good home is made only by the good
hearts that dwell therein. Many a
little cabin, with bare walls and
scanty furniture, Is made an attract
i've home by the loving and gentle
spirits of its inmates; while stately
palaces, filed with all the luxuries
of the material world are unworthy
the name of home, because they lack
the unpurchasable luxury of love.
To make home happy, be happy
yourself, and take pleasure in pro-
noting the happiness of others.

keeping even the Afctic Ocean free

extent. 1t is now more than 500
years since Nova Zembla was dis
covered, and very little progress has
from that time up to a recent date
been made in carrying on the ex-
ploration. In August of the present
year, a Swedish professor, Vorden-
skiold by name, set out on a voyage
of discovery, and found an open pas
sage as far as the mouth of the Yeni-
sci, which he assembled almost to the
frontier of China. The country
along this mighty river he reports
as fertile but uncultivated' The
head waters of the Yenisei and those
of the Amoor are only about one
hundred ana nfty miles apart, and
it is said that there are no insupera-
BILE difficulties in the way of opening
up navigation for light vessels from
one to the other. About the value
of the territory along the Amoor,
which separates China from Asiatic
Russia, there is, of course, no ques-
ton. There is no chance of the In
dian trade ever being diverted from
the Suez Canal route, but it is pos
sible that some commerce from
places further north and east in Chi
ma and Japan may ind its way up
the Amoor and down the Yenisei to
Western Europe. If so the Russian
possessions in Asia will acquire a
new value, and new field will be
opened up for Muscovite enterprise
and influence to operate in.

Plunket was once engaged in
case, when toward the end of the af-
ternoon, it became question wheth-
er the court should proceed or ad-
.journ till the next day. Plunket ex-
pressed his willingness to go on if
the jury would "set." "Sit, sir, sit,"
said the presiding Judge; ''not 'set;'
hens set 81 thank, my lord" said
Plunket. The case proceeded, and
presently the judge had occasion to
observe that if that were the case he
feared the action would not "lay."
"Lie, my lord, lie," exclaimed the
barrister, "not 'lay;' hens lay."
