company Coolie emigrant vessels from
Calcutta to Trinidad. The Coolies, he
said, had little hold upon life. They
would, Ii yexed by any semblance of
ill-treatment, apparently make mp their
minds to die. They would even say
that by such a time, they would die,
and would be true TO their word. Mrs.
Burton found that the religious preju-
dices of the pilgrims often prevented
them from accepting her gifts of food.
Speaking of man almost dead OF hun
ger, she says: 'T fetched him large
plate of rice, and carefully scraped away
all of the outside, that he might not
suspect us of having touched it. He
took it, looked wistfully at it, and
thanked me, and as soon as I turned
away threw it into the sea. / then gave
him two apples, and he ate them be-
cause could not touch the inside"
The pilgrims themselves were not kind
to one another when kindness was most
needed "Once they bid fair to die,
their dearest leave them lying in the
fierce blaze OF the sun. or i'm the night
wind and damp, and give them neither
to eat nor to drink. 'Khalasr they say,
1T is fnishedl-it is not worth while, it
is wasted" Some of them with plenty
of money prefer to die of starvation
rather than TO part with their rupees.

SPEAK UP.

When YOU go 70 seek your fortune,
NV laddle now AT home:
When YOU leave the dear old rrSside,
And rrom it's blessings roam,
Go forth with manly boldness
And bid adieu to fear;
And when you've anything to say,
Speak up that Sll may hear
There is no one half 40 likely
To take up with alloy,
And TO Danish sweet home lessons
As your wayerlng, fearsome boy,
He breads 10 speak of mother,
Whose counsel should be dear,
or OF fathers sage advice TO him,
Lest all the world should hear.
In your memory, q my laddie,
picture bright anu fair,
Keep fore'er the dear old homestead
That with no place will compare,
And should temptation greet you,
Keep head and heart both clear;
And when for right you Danish wrong,
Speak up that all may near.
When you plead for God and justice,
Where'er YOU chance 10 roam,
When you stand up for your country,
Your Kindred or your home,
Do II with manly boldness,
And bid adleu 10 fear
Within the shop or market place,
Speak un that all may hear.

And there stood the King of Bavaria,
but still in the uniform of an aid-de-

Ernest. He it was who had overheard

astonished auditors. "The chapel is

the wedding guests are there, and the
feast prepared. Louis of Bavaria waits
to conduct you to the altar, and to give

The delight of the lovers; the JOY OF
Lisette; the surprise and pleasure of all

Left HauednesS.

Why n man shnuld strike with the left
hand when unarmei, but should use his
sword or lance with the right, is diff
cult question to answer. There is no
innate disposition to prefer the one or
the other hand for any purpose is abun-
dainty proved by the fact that out of a
dozen young children half will show a
preference for one and half for the other.
In some cases the partiality for the left
is SO strong as to triumph even over the
persistent attempts of parents and nurses
to "break" their charge of what they
consider n bad habit. These obstinate
youngsters grow Hp left-handed. and are
often in after life much exercised to
know whether, after all, their peculiar
ity is an advantage or the reverse. Ger
tainly to a man who becomes good at
cricket it adds much to his efficiency as
q bowler, if he his able to deliver his
ball from the left, and thus puzzle the
batsman, who experience leads him to
calculate upon twist in the opposite
direction. Left-handed swordsmen and
boxers are also specially difficult to en-
counter, and the same thing may be
said of racquet and tennis players and
many other proficient i'll ont door exer-
cises, who have the use of the left hand
either by preference or concurrentlY
with the right. 1t is, however, plain
that in all times and places the right has
had the preference, and has beed armed
with the engine of attack SO much so
that amongst the Greeks favorite ex-
preston for "by the left" was the phrase

UNwHoLEsoME WELLS. The great trou-
BILE with wells is that IN the course OF
years the ground by the house and barn be-
comes so impregnated with sewage and
other contaminations as to affect the water
In the first report Of the Massachusetts
board of health Dr. Derby says: ''As a
rule, a well receives drainage from super
fetal circular area whose diameter is from
one to three times the depth OF the well,
varying with the character of the soil.
On this principle no well thirty feet deep
should have a privy, pig-pen, barn-yard or
cesspool within fifty feet of it in any direc-
ton, nor should any slops Of the house or
refuse of any kind be thrown upon the
surface OF the ground within the area Of
this circle. How many farms are there
on which this principle is not violated?
1t is not sufficient reply to say that the
family have drank from such wells with
impunity for !. score or more OF years. 1t
must bo remembered that when wells We're
first dug the water was pure, but the
ground has been gradually impregnated
with foul matter, which, If it has not al
ready permeated to the water will finally
reach and contamnatr it After fatal
case OF typhoid fever it will be too late to
resort to a crystal spring.

CHOOSING MmcH Cows A good mich
COW is one that has, first of all, good diges-
tive organs. A COW that does not digest
her food well is almost invariably poor
mixer. On this point we adopt the Ian
guage of Mr.. Allen in bis work on Amer
lean Cattle, as it hardly can be improved
"These org ans have powerful influence
on the exercise of all the functions, and
particularly on the secretion of the milky
glands. A good state Of the digestive or
gans is evinced by a belly of moderate
size, with yielding sides, a large mouth,
thick and strong lips, good appetite, easy
and quick digestion, glossy hair, supple
skin, with kind OF unctious feel. The
constitution should be sound, and this is
implied by large lungs broad and prom
inent chest a somewhat slow respiration,
and great inclination to drink-an incli-
nation stimulated by the abundant secre-
ton of milk. F"
What is known as tho wedge shape" is
desirable in mich COWS The head should
be small and fine, small neck and shout
ders, bones small and fine, small eyelids
well divided but not wrinkled, prominent
eye, and kind gentle look; hips broad,
hind quarters large, veins prominent, nd

tion, though very brief, indicates a good
