The Oldest Republic.

San Marine, the oldest and smallest
republic in the world, is situated in
Eastern Central Italy, and is governed
by Legislative Senate Of 60 members,
elected for life; an Executive Council Of
10, two thirds of whom 20 out every
year, and two Presidents, elected for six
months. The territory of the republic
is twenty-five square miles in extent,
and embraces Eve small villages, with
population in 1874 Of 1876. The CAPT.
tai, of the same name, is perched on
the crest Of q mountain 2,635 feet
above the sea, and commands splen-
did view Of the Apprentices on one side
and at sunrise Of the Dalmatian coast,
across the Adriatic, on the other. It is
said 10 have been founded early in the
fourth century by st. Marinua, con-

Diocletian persecution. There is
standing army Of 131 officers and 819
men, and it has an annual revenue Of
about 81, 0M The principal products
are fruit, silkworms, end vine. This

Fhe effects Of famine are markedly
mental as well as corporeal-famine is
often the exciting cause of the most
hideous crimes, selfshness and mental

against all constituted authority. The

well fed, would not have madlys de-

Column, both Of which every Frenchman
loves SO well. And it is certain that, had
the siege Of Paris lasted for another
week or two, the city would have been
one huge lunatic asylum. Florence and
Athens have been visited by famine, and

The Duck Hunters Story.

"Speaklng of duck-shooting on st.
Clair flats" sighed an old citizen, as he
took a seat in gun store yesterday. RI
don't think there are as many birds up
there DIS there was ten or fifteen years
ago. Why, sir, the channels used to be
just black with 'em, and they were so
tame you could knock 'em on the head"
Everybody sighed to think those good
old days and ducks could never return.
and the veteran hunter continued:
IT remember I was out one day In
April. I got in among the bipeds, and
how many do you suppose 1 counted?'
Three hundred, ventured one of tile
audience, after long interval.
Three hundred! Why, / always
killed over thousand every time I went
out No, sir, I counted over 5000
great big, fat plump, delicious ducks,
and then I had only counted those on
one side of the boat +"
Chow long did it take your"
II don't know, sir, I had no watch
with me. Time is nothing to man
counting ducks. t counted aloud, and
when the ducks were small I counted
two for one. By-and-by I got tired of
counting and gotready for the slaughter"
Glow many did you kill p
"Well, now, I suppose I could lie
about it, and say + killed nine or ten
hundred, but Tn getting too near the
grave for that. No, I didn' kill blasted
one, and there's where the strange part
OF the story comes in. When began
to lift that gun up those ducks knew
what 1 was up to just as we'll as hui
man being, and what did they do? Why,
sir, about 200 of 'em made sudden
dive, swan under the boat, and all raised
on her port side at once and upset her!
Yes, sir, they did, and there I was in the
north channel, in ten feet of water, boat
upset, night coming on, and I in my wet
clothes"
s'"Well?"
*"Wel, I climbed up on the bottom
of the boat, foated five miles, and was
picked up by two Indians. We towed
that upset. boat to an island, and here
another curious thing come in. Under =,
the boat we're 264 large, plump ducks.
They had been caught there when she
upset, and all we had to do was to haul
'em out and rap 'em on the head"
".Why, why didn't they dive down and
get from under the boat?" asked an
amateur duck-shooter.
ef"Why didn't they, sir-why didn't
they? Well, sir, I might have asked
'em why they didn't, but it was late, a
cold wind had sprung up, and didn't
feel Like talkingl ALI know is that I
counted over 10000 ducks, was upset,
captured 264, and have afidavits here in
my, wallet to prove everything I have
stated. Does any man here want to see
the documents?"
No man did. They all looked out of
the windows and wondered if they could
lie that way when they had passed three
score vears.-Detrom Free Press.

ALMOST THERE.

Once, when the bowers were fresh and sweet
With fragrant bloom Of apple;
took with me trusting child
Unto the village chapel.
The bells deep tones-clear and SLOW
Rang out on the scented air;
The child looked up, and, smiling, said:
ave are almost there"
And, once again, when the spple bloom
Gave fragrance to the bower,
sat beside that self-same child
1t was her dying hour. etc.,.
She said: angels now are bearing me
To lands where all is fair"
Then she closed her eyes and whispered low:
Z" We are almost there!'

man, lis only 3 years old:"o4srss5slz: ~
Z fffYou amaze me, NJ replied 8 tell me

life under the ministry Of your brother?''
"Oh, no.. she answered, laughing at
my mistake; emo great sermon could
touch him! He could argue down any
| educated preacher; to his own satisfac-
ton, at any rate. All the eloquence
that ever moved him was in the prayer
Of a slave, overheard at night" Esq., -
Reading in my eyes my, entreaty for
the facts Of the case, my informant pro-
! ceeded:. =.
@"A companion Of MI. Aliens school
days, from New England, was his guest
at the plantation-h home. One evening,
at the, tea-table, the talk turned upon
the negro melodies, and the Northerner
expressed a wish to hear them s Ut. some
one Of the religious gatherings on the
plantation. ....a,.,.
"s / can CRAFTY you tonight; said the
planter; and then within an hour the
guest was asked to Scome with me.
Ere long the two men silently approached
the cabin-meeting, unnoticed:. The lively
song fell upon their ears at a dist
ance. As they reached the rear ot
the cabin it ceased, and they listened to
| the prayer of the leader. Mrs. Stoves
| Uncle Tom could never have improved
upon that prayer, So unstudied and apt.

he sang his 'sesu song, and wanted ali

"That prayer was a wonder; no one
there could have prayed just SO except

truth into the planters soul. He talked
to himself:

Some Hints On Right Reading.

W. E. Fosters admirable lecture on
Right Reading" reported by the Prov
ldence Journal, is summed up by @. A.
Cutter, in the Library Journal, as fol-
lows:
A. The right selection of books. Per
sonal adaptation should guide U.S. Our
reading should have tendency toward
symmetrical development; it should not
be exclusively technical, nor exclusively
general; We should begin where we are
interested. An investigation of SUBJ
ject will lead from that into other fields.
It may be objected that this requires a
suggestive habit of mind. But sug-
sestive habit Of mind is not born in any
man ri, and it may be acquired by any
man: Let once a beginning be made,
and the further we go, the surer we arc
OF recognizing some familiar event or
topic; the dread of tinfamiliarity van
lshes after we have taken, the first few
steps. There must be discrimination in
our reading; aimlessness is one of the
worst evils. B. Right methods Of read
ing. Detiniteness Of purpose is as neces-
sary here as in the selection. We must
have clear idea Of Just what we wish to
get out of each book. System. d scien.
tific adjustment Of means to ends: We
must read in a comparative way: It is
not safe to judge any Question apart
from its relations. The reader must
take survey OF the whole field before
beginning at any one point. In using
reference lists such as are issued by the
Providence Library, it is not necessary
to read every book and every chapter re-
ferred to-. We must select what on the
whole would best serve our purpose. We
are not to ignore our interests, however
some one book might particularly attract
the: attention of some one reader. The
plan Of reading by a reference list does
not apply to all books. Imagine a
man going through "Shakspeare !" OF
!" Paradise Lost" in this ruthless man.
nert The plan applies to the: works Of
the 6 Literature of Knowledge" The
literature Of power" needs q different
treatment. Books which have an organic
unity, following out one central subject
or thought, must be. read as a whole.
We should review our reading at times.
