The Power of Kisses.

When Charles III. was making his TIL
umphant progress through England GER
tain country ladies who were presented
to him, instead Of kissing the royal hand
in their simplicity held up their pretty
Ups to be kissed by the King, blunder
no one would more willingly excuse than
the lover of pretty Nell Gwynne. Geor-
giana, Duchess of Devonshire, gave
Steele, the butcher, kiss for his vote
nearly century since, and another
equally beautiful woman, Jane, Duchess
of Gordon, recruited her regiment in
similar manner. A kiss from his mother
made Benjamin West an artist. " Kiss
me, mother, before I Sleep" How SIM
PIE boon, yet how soothing to the little
suppliant is that soft, gentle kiss. The
head sinks contentedly on the pillow
for all is peace and happiness within.
The bright eyes and rosy lips
close, and the little darling is soon
reveling in the bright and sunny dreams
that goodnight kiss will linger in the
memory when the giver lies moldering
in the grave. The memory of a gentle
mothers kiss has cheered many a lonely
wanderers pilgrimage and has been the
beacon light to illuminate his desolate
heart life has many stormy billow to
cross, many rugged path to climb, and
we know not what Is in store for the lit
tie one SO sweetly slumbering, with no
marring care to disturb its peaceful
dreams. The parched and fevered lips
will become dewy again as recollection
bears to the sufferers couch mother
love, a mothers kiss. Then kiss your
little ones ere they sleep; there is a
magic power in that kiss which will en-
dure to the end of lne.-Zroy Times.

Mr.. Warner on the Donkey.

The best way of getting about Cairo
and its environs is on the donkey. 1t is
cheap and exhilarating. The donkey is
easily mounted and easily got off from;
not seldom he will weaken in his hind legs
and let his rider to the ground-a sink
ing operation which destroys your con-
fidence in life itself. Sometimes he
stumbles and sends the rider over his
head. But the good donkey never does
either. He is the best animal of his
size and appearance living. He has the
two qualities of our greatest general,
patience and obstinancy. The good
donkey is easy as rocking g-chair, sure
footed as chamois; he can thread any
crowd and stand patiently doing in any
noisy thoroughfare for hours. 10 ride
him is only slight compromise of ones
Independence in walking. One is so
near the ground, and so absent-mindedly
can he gaze at what is around him, that
he forgets that there is anything under
him. When the donkey, in the excite
ment of company on the open street and
stimulated by the whacks and cries OF
his driver, breaks into the rush of gal
lop, there is so much flying of legs and
such general fiutter that the rider fam
cies he is getting over the ground at an
awful rate, running a break-neck race;
but it does not appear SO to an observer.
The rider has the feeling of the swift
locomotion of the Arab steed without its
danger or expense. Besides, long
| legged man, with a cork hat and flying
linen "duster," tearing madly along on
an animal as big as sheep, is an anus
ing spectacle.-My Winter on the Nile.

Close Driving.

A gentleman wanted to hire a coach
man, skillful driver, who could man.
age pair of spirited horses. At the
hour he appointed four men came to ap-
ply for the place. Turning to the first
one, he said, "How near can you drive
to precipice and not go over?" "Oh !"
answered the man, 81 can go within
three feet of it," The second man said,
"Sure, and L can go within two feet of
the bank" But whilst he was speaking
strong man. with brawny arm, lifted
his head, and said: "Indeed, I have
been six inches from the very edge, and
drove away safe." The gentleman turned
to the only man who had not yet spoken,
a small, mild-looking person, whom the
others thought would never be in their
way. To him he said, 81 suppose you
can go no nearer than that ?" "No, sir p
he replied, with determination, sit is
my rule to keep as far from danger as
possible" "You are the man for me, +"
said the gentleman; 81 do not wish to
hire any one to see how near he can
drive my family to destruction"

4 Just Rebuke.

Some Englishmen were making an
excursion in New Zealand, and engaged
natives as guides and to carry their lug
gage. On the first Sabbath, the Euro
peans were proposing to journey as usu-
al, but the natives said:
"No; we rest on the Sabbath"
The chief of the guides was Christian
man, and stood firm. The Englishmen,
like too many of their countrymen when
abroad, forgot the religion of their early
days. They got into great rage, and
refused to pay them if they did not
obey orders. The natives asked:
"What are We to do with the law of
God?"
An Englishman answered:
"What have we to do with the law of
God? What is that to MS 2"
One of the natives retorted
You have much to do with that. If
it were not for the law Of God we should
not remain quiet on your refusing to
pay us for our labor. We should have
taken by force what you have, and
robbed, if not killed, you. You have that
much to do with the law Of God"
What was the end of this strange
scene we do not know, but we hope that
among these Englishmen there was suf-
ficient manliness and good feeling to ac-
cept the unexpected rebuke, and to
honor the Maori for his frmness and
principle.

A Jury of One.

You remark that jury of one man
might be better than twelve, because he
could never disagree. This reminds me
of the anecdote of case of the kind in
a Justices court. A jury had been de-
manded, but there was difficulty about
getting jury together. One iuryman
had appeared, and it was finally agreed
by the court that they would try the case
by jury of one. Accordingly the case
was tried, and the jury (of one) retired
30 consult of their verdict under the
charge of an officer. After waiting an
hour or two the jury were called into
court to see if they had agreed on their
verdict, and the foreman informed the
court that they had not agreed, and that
there were no prospect of their agreeing.
And the court sent the jury ont again
waited two or three hours longer for the
result, when they were again called into
court, and they informed his Honor that
they had not agreed, and there was no
prospect of any agreement. The hour
being late the jury was then discharged
without q verdict. This may have been
farce, but, if it was, it was no more SO
than are one-half of our jury trials

How Unurcn.Tower Clocks Are Wound.

The Oldest tower-clock in New York is
in st. Pauls steeple. 1t was made in
IT'S, by John Thwait, of London. The
clock in st. Johns Church was put in
the tower in 1872. The Trinity clock was
placed in its lofty station, 200 feet from
the pavement, in 1916, by James Rogers.
In dry weather this clock runs well; but
in damp, chilly weather it sometimes
stops, owing to the precipitation of mois-
ture on the wheels. Originally two men
were required to wind it, each of the
three l, 500 pound weights having to be
lifted over fifty feet. Some time ago the
winding gear was changed so that one
man can now wind it.
Describing the operation of winding,
the clock-keeper said: "The crank is
about twenty inches long, and when I
turn it around make a sweep of thirty
inches. It's a good deal harder than
turning grindstone, but the machine
has rachel, so that can stop and rest
when want to. The crank has to be
turned 750 times to turn the barrel
twenty-one times. Around the barrel is
wound the wire rope that holds the
1, pound weight. The weight is SIM
ply box with pieces of iron in it. That
is very old-fashioned. Now we have iron
weights SO modelled that they can be
added to or subtracted from, and the
weight can be graded to nicely. A
new wire rope was put to the chimes
weight the other day. The rope is what
is called tiller rope, and is $50 feet long
and three-quarters of an inch thick. II
takes me an hour and half to wind up
| the clock"
st. Paul's clock has single back geal
and two weights of 1000 pounds each.
1t takes three-quarters of an hour to
wind it. st. Johns clock is wound in
less than an hour; while the modern
clock of st. Georges, in charge of the
same keeper, is wound in fifteen min.

Worth, the Man-Milliner.

A lady, having looked upon the mon
arch of mantua-makers, writes thus:
sWorth is not all that fancy pictured to
my minds eye before 1 saw him. In
fact, I found him nothing more than a
shrewd, business-like looking man, with
q head SO like the portraits of Oliver
Goldsmith that doubtless the resem-
blance has often been commented upon. "
Worth is getting along in years, and the
anxieties of his profession are beginning
to tell upon him. His life has been q
hard one. He has gone into the great
stronghold of the French-that of wom-
ems dress-and beaten them. He is an
Englishman, and was for lone time
shopman at Swan & Edgar's, in London.
He has two sons, both Frenchmen to
the backbone; neither of them, however,
wish to follow their fathers profession,
but have chosen military life, which
plainly shows their want of "taste" ac-
cording to their fathers idea.
