RETROSPECT DYING
WORDS.

It is probably natural that at the
last scenes which have made the
strongest impressions in life should be
recalled by memory. The old noun
taineer, when he comes to die, with
his last whisper says his snow-shoes
are lost; with the stage-driver he is
g. on down grade and cannot reach
the brake;" the miner cannot get to
the air-pipe; the sailor says ''eight
bells have sounded" and the gambler
plays his last trump. A little girl died
here fewyears ago. and as her mother
held her wrist and noted the fainting
and flickering pulse, a smile came to
the wan face, and the child whispered :
/" There's no more deseret here, man,
ma, but all the world is filed with
beautiful flowers" A moment later
the smile became transiXed. In an
Eastern city. not long ago, a Sister OF
Charity was dying, and at last from a
stupor she opened her eyes and said !:
" 1t is strange every kind word that
have spoken in life, every tear that /
have shed, has become living flower
around me. and they bring to my
senses an incense ineffable."

A SMILING FACE.

Give me the girl or boy who smiles
as soon as the first rays of the morn
ing sun glance in through the window,
gay, happy and kind. Such boy will
be fit to grow to man-at least when
contrasted with the sullen, morose,
Grabbed fellow. who snaps and snarls
like surly cur, or growls and grunts
like hyena from the moment he
opens his angry eyes till he is con-
tronted by his breakfast. Such girl,
other things being favorable, will be
good material to aid in gladdening
some comfortable home, or to refine,
civilize, tame and harmonize some
rude brother, making him gentle, af-
fectionate and loveable. 1t is feast
to even look at such joy-insplring
girl, and see the smile flowing, so to
speak, from her parted lips, display
ing a set of well-brushed teeth, look
ing almost the personification of beau
ty and goodness singing and as mer-
ry as the birds that commenced their
concert long before tho lazy folks
dreamed that the sun was approach
ing and was about to pour a flood of
light and warmth upon the earth.

CHEEK.

No, my, son, cheek is not better thar
wisdom it is not better than honest
modesty, it ia not better than anything
Don't listen to the siren who tells you
to blow your own horn or it will new
or be footed upon. The world is not
to be deceived by cheek, and it does
search for merit, and when it finds it
merit is rewarded. Cheek never de-
ceives the world, son. 1t appears to
do SO, to the cheeky man, but he is the
one who is deceived. Do you know
one cheeky man in all your acquaint-
ance who is not reviled for his cheek
the moment his back is turned 2 Is
not the world continually drawing
distinctions between cheek and merit
Society tires OF the brassy glare of
his face, the hollow tinkling of his
cymballine tongue. the noisy assump-
tiOn of his forwardness. The triumphs
of cheek are only apparent. He bores
his way through the world, and fre-
quently better people give way for
him. But as they give way, my boy,
for man with q paint-pot in each
hand. Not because they respect the
man with the paint.pots, particularly,
but becaure they want to take care of
their clothes. Avoid cheek, my son.
You can sell goods without It; and
your customers won't run and hide in
the cellar when they see you coming.

A MILD WIN TEK.

An old adage, "all signs fail in dry
weather." is we'll known, but this
winter the adage should be changed to
read all signs fail in wet weather."
Amidst it all the winter has been re-
markably mild; with an exceptional
cold day now and then, we have not
had auy cold weather worth speaking
of, and half the winter season over.
Among other signs promising mild
weather, is the goose bone superstition
which is described as follows:
The superstition of old women is
associated with q wild goose's back.
Like all similar portents in other lines
of life the goose's back has no tangible
connection with the weather, unless,
perhaps, it is that coming cold weather
affects the goose's back somewhat as
present cold weather affects the sur
face of the water-that is. hardens it.
This, however, is the belief. AS soon
as the wild goose is killed in early
winter, and before it has grown cold,
if possible, tear the flesh and skin from
the back until the bone is exposed
clean of flesh. If the bone il very
thick and dark the ice crop VII. be
abundant. If it is very thin and lark
the ice crop will be sufficient, bu if it
is either thick or thin and also white
there will be no ice whatever. 1t is
related by the believers that in 1870 of
many wild geese that were killed OF
one had dark backbone. 1t is point
ed out that in that year the thermom-
eter never fell to twenty degrees below
freezing point. But the vagueness at
taches to the figures by which the year
could be identified as also applies O
the superstition which it is sought to
be proven thereby. This year reports
are that all wild geese killed upon
whose backbones investigation was
made, were found to doubly prophesy
a mild winter.

A NATUKAL PHENOM MENON.

There is at present in Bombay a Iiv-
ing object that may rightly be classed
among the most curious and strangest
phenomena of nature. At a house in
MazagOn may be seen pair Of female
twins, separate in every respect but
from the breast-bOne to the lower part
of the abdomen, which is closely join
ed. The upper breast-bone of each
infant is linked into the other, the
outer skin covering both trunks. The
twins are joined front to front shuul-
ders, arms, lower limbs and feet per-
fectly formed; development healthy,
while the heads are we'll shaped and
the faces really pretty, with beautiful
eyes, large and bright. The twins are
six months and twenty days old, are
in perfect health, and measure twenty
one inches in height-one appearipg-
but in a very trifling degree-larger
than the other. Both have vigorous
appetites, and take kindly to the feed
ing bottle, are extremely lively, and
appear good tempered. Their pulses
beat in unison, they generally fall
asleep or keep awake together, and
their actions are usually simultaneous,
though sometimes one would cry while
the other was quietly drawing at the
mouth-piece of its bottle. hestrange-
ly united pair were born in Dapoli, in
the Rutnagherry Collectorate, the faith
er being a Mahomedan and seafaring
man, while the mother has besides a
pretty daughter of about ten. Accord
ing to the formers account he called
in a native doctor at Rutnagherry, who
declared it would be impossible to sep
arate them without extinguishing life.
The twins have never been Ill, and to
every appearance are likely to grow

JAPANESE TOR sPINNERS.
How q Top Clim bed q String, and
Others Performed Wonderful

, Tficks.
The Japanese top-spinner walked t.
theside of the stage and united a string
which, as soon as it was loose, swung
quickly to the middle of the stage, and
then hung perpendicularly. After un-
tying this string, the Japanese took q
top from his assistant, aud twirling it
in his hand until it revolved quickly
enough, he took hold OF the end of the
string, and, placing the stem of the top
at right angles to it, left things to take
care of themselves.
Tha top spun short time at the end
of the string, but soon it began to move
slowly upward, still spinning at right
angles with the string. 1t continued
in this way TO move steadily upward
until at length it had traversed the en-
tire distance, and was lost to view be-
hind the "fiies" over the stage.
When the applause that greeted this
trick had subsidized, the Japanese NOV
ed the dollhouse to the center of the
stage and placed it beside the table.
He then set six tops, exactly alike in
size and appearance, spinning upon
the table, and taking the seventh in
his hand, indicated to the spectators
by signs that he would send it on q
journey through the dollhouse. He
then sat down on the floor. and curling
up his legs, Turk fashion, started the
seventh top spinning. It ran along
the floor until it reached a sort of in
clined draw-bridge leading to the en-
trance of the little house, and then
went up slowly to and through the
open door. The juggler waited mo-
ment, as if expecting some signal from
the now invisible top. His suspense
was relieved an instant later by the
tinkling Of q silver bell, which indica-
ted that the top had entered one of the
tiny rooms. The japanese held up
one finger. and waited, in a listening
attitude, f6f 3 second signal. 1t came,
as before, in the tinkle OF a bell, upon
hearing which the man held up two
fingers. Finally, when ten rooms had
been visited, and ten bells, rung In this
way, had been counted on the perform
er's fingers, he rose and pointed toward
the house, and toward the table, upon
which the six tops were yet spinning.
After few moments, during which
we silently watched the door of the
house, the top that had been ringing
the bells came quickly out of the en-
trance, ran down the draw-bridpe and
dropped motiOnless at the feet of the
japanese. The same moment the tops
on the table stopped and dropped over
on their sides.-[St. Nicholas for Jan

SFEECk1 OF A RUSSIAN NlHIL1SI
The. following speech of youns
Myrsky indicates ability and COO
bravery. He was Nihilist conspir
ator and sentenced to death, but thu
sentence was recently commuted te
hard labor in the mines. His age il
but twenty-o and he is boyish tc
look on, having little or no beard. He
has fine, intelligent face, and wat
gentle, courteous and graceful on ihii
trial. His speech presents his under.
standing of socialism, and was as fol.
lows:
Gentlemen, it is quite possible that
you will condemn me to lose every
thing or at least great deal. That is
not my concern. do not fear to die.
There, is something dearer than my
life. That is nay honor and the views
to which have sacrificed everything.
These principles and views 1 hold l
wish to present before the court, in
order that those who are now pres
ent may leave the court with the con
viction that am an honest man. 1 am
a Socialist. Our party is not politica
in the strict sense of the word. 1t is
rather the party of economic reform
and social regeneration. You call
this party criminal and destructive.
This is an error I wish to refute. We
do not wish destruction. On the con-
trary we wish to see society calm and
tranquil, resting on sounder founda-
tions than at present. Ours is the
party of the people, but cannot in
my conscience consider it anti gov
ernmental for this reason-not having
credited or established any other Or
der, we cannot logically wish to over.
throw the monarchical principles but
we want order, justice. liberty and
equity with it. You say we are GRIM
inal. cannot accept this definition
especially on your part. Why are
we thus designated ? Because we have
committed some murders? But these
murders are only the reply to yours.
l admit that assassination is a very
bad weapon, but at present it is unfor-
tnnately indispensable to us, for it
gives us the only possibility of strng-
Cling with you. We are only using
your methods, and on this occasion
allow mo to say to you that we disap-
prove of many of the things which
you sanction-men taking advantage
of their fellows, and the sacrifice of
individual will to others. What com.
pels as to use violent means is the ex-
treme rigor with which we are treat
ed: We are deprived even of the
right Of our opinions. We are prose.
cuted for our opinions on the ground
that our opinions are erroneous, why
are they bugbear? If they were al
lowed propagation, society would be
the best judge of them, and would
condemn them if they were as bad as
you say. Now, listen, we are strong
ly convinced that the truth is on our
side, that we are fanatics in this con-
viction. Yes, we are fanatics. To.
morrow die. A hundred others will
replace me. We march to power as
the ancient Christians went to martyr
dom, and we die with love and hope.
