How VOItaire was I" Sold"

Despite his grave character, Frederick
the Great loved an occasional joke, pro-
vided it were well spiced with malice.
On one occasion Voltaire, according to
previous appointment, came to read a
poem in manuscript for his approval.
The king had meantime secreted behind
a screen in the same room man of won
derful memory, who had the gift of re-
peating any composition, however
lengthy, to which he had once listened.
When Voltaire had concluded his reci-
tai, Frederick expressed great admiration
but declared be had heard the poem be-
fore. The poet was indignant, repelling
the charge of plagiarism with
great warmth. The king, how
ever, insisted that the poem
was by no means of recent origin, and
said there was man in his court who
could repeat it from beginning to end.
He sent for the man who had been be-
hind the screen, and who had listened to
the reading, and requested him to repeat
certain poem, quoting the first lines.
The man instantly, and to the great as.
constituent of Voltaire, repeated the
poem word for word. After the king
had sufficiently enjoyed his jest, he re-
vealed the trick to Voltaire, who was
both surprised and indignant.

this may be employed on colored woven

ofpotash and hydrochloric acid, followed
by the hyposulphite of soda and clear

Succession to the Crown OF England.
lPall Mall Gazette


The official denial of the rumor that
the ex.Queen of Hanover and her chill
dren have joined the Church of Rome
was hardly needed, perhaps. But had
the rumor been true, the Grown Prince
Ernest and the princesses his sisters
would, of course, have forfeited their
rights of eventual succession to the
crown of England under the act of set
tlement; but as his royal highness is but
thirty-fifth in the line of succession,
this consideration would hardly have
been practical one. AS the royal fam
lily of Great Britain stands at the pres
ent moment, the first eleven princes
and princesses in the succession to the
throne are British subjects. In the hap
PLY more than remote contingency of
the failure of these heirs-namely, of
the prince of Wales and his children, of
the duke of Edinburgh and his children,
of the duke of Connaught, and Prince
Leopold, the next heir would be the
princess imperial of Germany. Prince
William of Prussia, her highness's eldest
son, recently invested with the Order of
the Garter, being thus thirteen in the
succession. After the prince would
come his six brothers and sisters. Fail
ing these, the Princess Louis of Hesse
inherits the claim, being twentieth in
the line of the succession. Her royal
highness is the mother of six children
Consequently, her next sister, the Prin-
cess Christian of Schleswig- Holstein, is
twenty-seventh in the order of success
ion. Next comes the Princess Chris
tian's four children; next the Princess
Louise, marchiOness of Lorne; and last
of her present majesty's issue, the
Princess Beatrice, (thirty-third.) Fol-
lowing these comes King George of
Hanover, (thirty fourth,) the Crown
Prince Ernest, and the Princesses
Frederick and Mary. The duke of Cam
bridge is thirty-eight in the order of
succession.

Recovered Tea.
detroit Free Press.l


Solemn-looking Detroiter, dressed as a
laborer, enters grocery on Michigan
Avenue, carrying chest of tea in his
arms, and as he puts it on the counter
he says:
"Found it in a lumber pile near the
Junction this morning. 1 zee from the
marks that it belongs to you. Had you
missed itT'
"Well-ahem-wel ell" coughs the
grocer.
cts your chest of tea, of course, and
I want no reward for returning it.
Right is right, and try to do the fair
thing by everybody"
es-ahem-needn't let this get
into the papers-ahem-nor speak to the
police-ahem-and take this dollar for
your trouble"
The chest was hidden under the coun-
ter till leisure moment arrived, and
then the grocer opened it in search of
fifty pounds of Oolong, Japan or best
green. The contents consisted of saw
dust-nice, clean saw-dust of the nigh
est workmanship. 1t was only dollar
swindle, and why did that grocer kick
the chest across the store, slam the stove
around, and yell to his meek-faced clerk !:
"Boy, Pm good mind to discharge
YOU for thisl"

In concluding an address to the students
OF University College (London) Prof. Tyndall,
who is professionally one Of the most In.
defatigable brain workers of our century,
said, "Take care of your health. Imagine Her.

s0orkers. We are apt to devote all our en-.
ergies to welding the oars, our strokes fall
firm and fast, but few Of US examine or even
think of the condition of our boats until the
broken or rotten timbers suddenly give way
and we find ourselves the victims of a calamity
which could have been easily avoided by a
little forethought. What began with slight
fracture, or perhaps even careless exposure
to dis0rganizing influences, ends in the COM
plete wreck OF the life-bOat. The disease
which began with slight headache or an
undue exposure to cold terminates in death,
unless its progress be checked, and the dis.
ease remedied. The first symptoms, the
heralds OF disease, give no indication of the
strength OF the on.c0ming foe, and the vic

THE YOUNG FOLKS.



Oft within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently TALL,
While the sunlight touches foitiy
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together,
And Ia hushed and tender tone
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending Of the day,
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
II was once our mothers way ,"
II our home be bright and CHEEKY,
III IL hold q welcome true,
Opening wide its doors OF greeting
To the nany-not the few;
IL we share our Fathers bounty
With the needy day by day.
It's because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes, when our hearts grow weary,
Or our task seems very long,
When our burden looks too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then we gain anew fresh courage,
As we rise and proudly say,
"Let us DO our duty bravely-
This was our dear mothers way"
Thus we keep her memory precious.
While we never cease to pray
That at last when lengtheniDg shadows
Mark the evening OF life's day,
They may find us waiting calmly
To 60 home our mothers way.
