Justice of Egypt, when he sat in judy
ment, wore on his breast golden image
of Truth; one Egyptian king even abol-
ished capital punishment, but seems to
have stood almost alone.
Recent events have brought Egypt once
more into the circle of nations, and the
land of Pharaoh and Joseph promises to
become the pathway of the commerce of
the East. Its management and safe-keep-
ing must fall apparently into the hands
of England, and form large part of that
extensive responsibility for the welfare of
distant countries imposed upon the Eng
lish by the conquest of India. The Anglo
Saxon race more than any other is inter
ested in the fate of modern Egypt; the
Suez Canal is the outlet for the trade of
London and Bombay. France has sen
timental, a scientific part in the care Of
the land OF Pharaoh; but if India is to be
preserved, the possession Of Egypt is to
Englang necessity. The distant, unprof-
liable conquest brings with it a defensive
frontier that may well tax the energy of
the English race. But at whatever cost
to Europe. Egypt must once more take
its place among nations. The Nile must
become the pathway to that wonder
full region just discovered by Stan
ley and Spoke. Steamers will sail by
Luxor and Karnac, bearing immigration
and traffic to the heart Of Africa. Egypt
may once. more produce its rare works
OF art, its priceless gems and embroidery,
and Egyptian scholars cultivate anew
anew the sciences and the virtues they
first fought mankind.-Harper's Weekly.

Imperial COurtshiD.

a Paris paper, apropos of their silver
wedding, gives an interesting account of
the first meeting between the Emperor
Of Austria and his wife. Some twenty
five years ago the young Emperor Fran
els Joseph visited Carlsbad for no special
reason, but simply to amuse himself.
There he met his three beautiful cousins.
the Princess de Thurnne Taxas, the Prin-
cess Elizabeth and the Princess Marie
Sophie. Very lovely in the evening in
the animation of the waltz, the Princess
Elizabeth was even more fascinating in
her black cloth habit and riding hat with
its green veil, as she galloped on her
English horse with the elegance and dar-
ing OF huntress of ancient times. It is
related that one day her magnificent hair,
which it was difficult to keep confined
fell down over her shoulders, and cover
ed her like royal mantle. Her
confusion was indescribable, while
the Emperor glanced from the escaped
tresses to the blushing cheeks of his cous-
in. She fastened home. After luncheon
she found on the table an immense album.
Francis Joseph placed it before her, and
pointed out some views of Austria, of
the Tyrol, and of Hungary.
'What beautiful scenery! What love-
" country!' she exclaimed repeatedly in
her admiration.
The Emperor whispered: "Would you
like to make them your own? Are you
willing to reign there?"
And, as she trembled and did not reply,
he held out to her bunch of edelweis-
the. flower of betrothal. She took it and
put it next her heart. A few. weeks later
she became the Empress Of Austria.

A NOBLE REVENGE.

THE coffin was plain one--a poor miser-
able pine coffin. No flowers on the top; no
lining Of white satin for the pale brow; no
smooth ribbons about the coarse shroud.
The brown hair was laid decently back, but
there was no crimped cap with neat tie be-
meath the chin. The sufferer of cruel
poverty smiled in her sleep; she had found
bread, rest and health.

poor little child, as the undertaken screwed

cried the helpless orphan, clutching the
side of the charity box, and as he gazed
upon the rough box, agonized tears stream
ed down the cheeks on which no childish
bloom ever fingered. Oh it was painful
to have him cry the words. "Only once, let
me see mother. only once!"
Quickly and brutally the heartless mon
ster struck the boy away, so that he reeled
with the blow. For moment the boy
stood painting with grief and rage-his blue
eyes distended, his lips sprang apart, fire
glittered through his eyes as he raised his
little arm with most unchildish laugh and
screamed, when Pm man I'll be reveng.

No, have sweeter revenge. I have
saved the life of a man whose brutal con-

twenty years. Go, then, and remember the

LIVING IN FRANCE.

1T has happened lately that number of
people with families to educate have gone
to live in France for few, years that they
may reduce their expenses That is quite
a compliment to France, but they might
have lived here just as cheaply It is not
the prices that are so much the less. but
the good management of the heads of fami-
lies that makes everything go farther than
1t does here or anywhere else. There is
not there so great profusion of everything
as here, and so people must be careful and
conscientious for fear they come to want
the very things that are almost thrown away
IN this country. So if strangers keep house
In France they find it no great saving, for
they take with them them the same prodi-
gal, wasteful ways that they have at home.
II the prices Of the same eatables are but
small, others again are very much higher
than In this country, and many compare
very equally.
In France the leading thought in every
good housekeeper's mind is economy; not
parslmony, but regular systematic frugal
ity. If servants there should throw away
the water in which vegetables were boiled.
they would be considered wanting in thrift :
tor II anything is boiled, the essence and
lavor OF that substance is to be found in
the water in which it was cooked. 1t is
usual there to steam most vegetables, but
when they are boiled the least fluid posi-
ole IS used; and if that, with the addition
OF cream or butter, is not suitable to serve
as dressing for the vegetables, 1T is always
put into the pot in which the soup stock is
kept. That is kept as receptacle for all
things which will help to flavor and enrich
the soup, and which seem to be proper only
Tor that use. Every little bit of bone and
grlstle that is trimmed from meat that is
TO be served In other forms, every leaf of
celery, every core Of cabbage, even the
wing tips OF chickens and the crumbs that
fall from the loaf of bread when the slices
are cut off, and every other eatable thing
that elsewhere would be thrown away. are
dropped into the vessel, which in England
is called the stock. kettle, in France the
pot-outeu. Do not fancy that the soups
are weak, or that anything is put into them
which would be disagreeable to think of.
1t is there the habit of housekeepers to
buy often a nice bone of beef, with mar
row left in it, and this will be the basis of
stock for several days, the constant addi-
ton have spoken OF giving to it tone and
flavor, and helping it to last longer, be-
sides saving from loss many things that are
nourishing and palatable The first day
the stock is made it should be cooked slow
ly for several hours and skinned accession
ally, and once every day after it should bs
heated over. it will be quite jelly when il
is cold, and you cut out piece the size
will you require, and take it for the founda-
ton of soups of different names and flavors,

Providence kindly has mingled the cup,
And In all trials or troubles, berhink you,
The watchword of life must be, Never give up
Never give up there are chances and changes
Helping the hopeful hundred to one,
And through the chaos, High Wisdom arranges
Ever success-if you'll only hope on:
Never give up! for the wisest is boldest.

And of all maxims the best as the Oldest.
Is the true watchword of Never give up.
Never give mp though the grape shot may rattle,
Or the full thunder cloud over you burst.

Little shall harm you, though doing their worst
Never give up if adversely presses

THE LIFE OF SONG.

Is there any ihing on earth,
Where the strongest are not strong,
Half so feeble in its birth,
Or so sure of death, rs Song?
FRAZIER blossoms never grew,
Peltcd by the summer rain;
Lighter insects never flew
Scarcely come ere gone again!
Children who chase butterflies,
May pursue it, to and fro;
Little maids who sigh, "Heigh-hom
May dcplore it, when it dies;
Loftier deeds to men below
Larger Life than Song!
There is nothing on earth,
Where so many things are strong,
Half so mighty in its birth,
And so sure of life, rs Song.
Never pine on mountain height
so the thunder-bolt deties;
Never eagle in his flight
Sores with such uudaunted eyes!
Conquerors pull empires down,
Think they will not be forgot;
But if Song pursue them not,
Time destroys their dark renown:
Nothing is remembered long.
But the Life of Song!
