" This Side Up. >"

A novel illustration of the ingenuity
OF thieves has just been afforded by an
incident reported from the continent.
For some time past North German
railway company had been suffering
from the repeated loss of goods which
were sent by iuggage-train, and which,
Notwithstanding all researches and pre-
cautions, continued to disappear in very
mysterious manner, The secret which
the inquiries get on foot had failed to
discover WAS at length revealed by q
rather amusing accident A long box,
on one side of which were words equiv
alent to "This side up" had, in disre-
gard Of this caution, been set UP on end
IN the goods shed. Some time afterward
the employees were not little startled to
hear voice apparently proceeding from
the box III question, begging the hearers
to let the speaker out. On opening the
lid, the railway officers were surprised
and amused to find man inside stand
ing on his head. In the explanation
which followed, the fellow wanted to
account for his appearance, under such
unusal circumstances, as due to the result
of a wager; but he was given into

thieves had adopted this method of con-
veying themselves on the railway prem

articles they could lay their hands on,
fastening the lid, and then decamped,

The Narrow Wav to Paradise.

When King Victor Emmanuel went
to hear service in the Cathedral of Pisa,
one day, with all his court, and follow
ing of citizens which numbered some
thousands, he found the great entrance
closed against him. Some one proposed
forcing the door, and the indignant peo.
pie only wanted, the slightest assent to
give expression to their feelings by some
over act against the priestly authority.
But the king seeing side door open,
said, smiling, "Let us pass in here, my
friends; it Is narrow way that leads to
Paradise" Very soon after the same
thing happened at Bologna. The king,
on visiting the DuomO, was received by
one or two inferior clergy at a side en-
trance. Great indignation was expressed
by the citizens; so much so that the
Bishop was somewhat alarmed, and
came to apologize to the king, excusing
his absence on the plea of illness. The
king replied: You were quite right
not to inconvenience yourself, my lord
l do not go to church to visit priests,
but TO worship God.-Lve Of Victor
Emmanuel, Godkin.

disease even from infected cargoes,
and warnedthecouncil that It the foreign
cattle trade were so hampered that
meat was forced up to famine price, an
cutlery would be raised throughout the
country, and last years act would be
repealed. 1t seems to be generally
admitted that the trade in American
cattle will be greatly discouraged II it is
not destroyed, by the slaughter of the
animals at the port of landing. 1t is as
generally believed that the rapid growth
of the American trade, which
amounted to SO, $50 live cattle last
year, as against 1 ,1s7 in the year be-
fore, alone prevents a further serious
rise in the price of meat. Whatever
truth there may be In these opinions, it
is beyond doubt that the chief hope Of a
reduction in the price Of beef and NUT
ton is derived from the American inn
portations. The Canadian ports are
not included In the rule Of slaughter.
and Canadian cattle may therefore still
be sent to the English market; but for
the present the large and growing
trade in American live cattle is paralyz-
ed, If not destroyed, and some rise in
the price of meat seems to be more than
probable.
