THE DOMESTIC TYRANT.
From East and West


No person more completely possesses the power of
creating misery, in his house, than the domestic
est relatives by his selfshness and erigeGnt temper
The great essentials for happiness social life
are banshed out Of the little homework ruled over
by one of these imperlous autocrats. He makes il
a rule to exhibit the most profound disregard for
the feelings OF Others, aud by an indulgence IN
covert sneers, harsh and insulting words the self
control of his vcms is sorely tried. Consciousness
Of power is no doubt the cause of his overbearng
ways. The domestic tyrant always has the highest
possible appreciation of himself His opinion admits
of no question: being his opinion it must be right and
in an arbitrary manner he expects his family
him on all points He looks npon himself
in every sense as a superior being, far above
his surroundings. In his avn estimation he is too
highly bred and too refined, to support the incon
Yenlences OF daily occurrences which are endured
by others. His organization too sensitive and
finely strung TO tolerate small domestic troubles
he feels compassion for himself alone, regre tting
that the grandeur of his character is not sufficiently
appreciated. His most triiling acts magnified
by him into examples of stupendous hberality. In
his complete dissatisfaction, he announces he is
only too good in sacrificing himself and he lanents
his due.
He possesses in the highest degree the power of
wounding the feelings of Others and by his per-
sistent efforts TO mortfy their sensibities he ap-
pears to treat that power as an accomplishment
which he never neglects to display at every oppor-
tunity. The inmates of many an apparently happy
home, if question: to the back ground would
bear testimony as To wrung hearts, caused by the
domestic tyrant. No wonder with such man for
the head of the hous. there general sense of
lief when the front door shuts behind him and n

the misery caused by him to his household, the

not fail To perceive the sort of change bat comes
over the cheerful family party when he app airs,
the KIND OF chill that his presence brings. Instinct
must tell him how carefully topics of conversation
are chosen for the family meals, how much con-
straint prevails, and what strict avoidance of any
subject there is that may lead To wrathful question

THE LAST JOHN FULL.
From The Athen9um.

1t is sad fact that ever since the battle Of
Waterloo the John Bulls have been diminishing
in number, and with Landor the cultivated John
Bulls died out altogether: When Lander was
llourishing at Bath, England was still full of John
Bulls-country squlres. for instance hot-headed
clustering autocrats, who respected Gf they could
not construct Latin and who Tory-repubii-
cans, hating the French loving liberty-the liberty
of the British squire to do as he liked Add to
these qualities the qualities of genus and scholar
ship, and we see the Landor of Professor Colvn

noble, courageous, loving hearted, beautiful and
wholesome to tho hearts core" His very pronnn-

Equally typical, too was his mmiscibility "The
worst OF John Bull" once said u famous American
is that he won't mix set him where you will out
of his own little pancake of an island and he begins
to quarrel all round" When Lander soon after
falling in love with Wales and deciding to plant it
with cedars of Lebanon) declared that the earth
contains no race of human beings so totally vile
and worthless as the Welsh" he did what he was
all his life doing with regard to every country aud
locality he ever visited.

GAUTIER'S CAT.

Theophi!e Gauter who has lately given the
world an account of what he calls his Private
Menagerie," mentions one of the cases in which
pussy was most completely taken aback, and lost
cat was accustomed to live in perfect intimacy with
the writer, sleeping at his feet on his bed dreaming
on the arm of his easy chair while he was writing;
following him in his garden as he walked up and
meals and, as he adds, not unfrequently intercept

the lips. One fine day friend setting out on his
travels, lett his parrot in his charge during his

of his stand. while the cat stared at the strange
sight, and tried to kather up all the strays and

GREAT PRICES FOR SHELLS.

Since the year 1925, when George Sowerby cata-

I've always scarce, like the Orange Cowry and the
COnas glorid-mdris. No doubt there are "as good
fish IN the sea ever came to net" but sometimes
they live in inaccessible places. Shell collectors
like the old Dutch florists have always set apart
few genera as the sseca objects of their affection
to which they attach q. fanciful value. These
are the Cones. Cowries, Mitres and Volutes with
few miscellaneous species belonging TO other
genera, such the Thorny Oyster, Wentietrap Car
maria, Harp, and Rostellaria. Most of the stories
told about the extrayagant prices paid for partc-

THE DEATH OF ACHILLES,
From The Spectator

From The Spectator.
The gray dawn glimmered, and the ebbing tide
Slipped from the naked sands about the Ships
And drained Scamander of its fulfilled life.
But In the Greclan camp was life and stir,
Weighing of Lied steeds, and clank of arms,
And 4 trumpet-calls and marshalling OF men;
For that this day the Master of the War,
Pelides' self, should take the field. and sweep
The Trojan battle from the plains of Troy.
SO Semen men, qnknowing, spake and from his tents,
Achilles came And ali about his limbs
Inc wondrous armour which the Fire-God wrought,
Helmet and cuirass, cuisses, and the shield
SeVenfold and shapely grcavcs that shot their light
Down on the naked marble of his feet.
His look was as of one who knew not care,
Nor memory of the past, nor things to come;
Not the dead comrado nor he fell revenge,
Nor shame of slaughtered warriors at the pyre,
Nor Inst of ravished maid, nor sulen strife,
Nor the short span, and swiftly severed thread
But only present triumph.
He strode and shading with an appraised hand
His level glance, gazed at the Trojan lines,
Which, thrice as far as bowmen shoot the bow,
Were clustering, thick as ants III harvest time
Cluster around their harried nest and brave
With weak defence the ruin that impcnds.,
But one was in tn If van, who seemed III shape,
In grace, and nimbleness, and fatal gift
OF rt beauty, like the Shepherd-prince who lured
The love of Spartan Helen from her lord
No man was near him, none seemed ware of him;
Alone he stood, unhelmed and round his head
The rising sun, shifting the rising mist,
broke ID % sudden glory and behind.
High up, the towers of angry Pallas frowned
No armor had he save that in his hand
a golden bow was Bonded TO the full;
Aud as Achilles turned, with curving lip,
Contemptuous, to his men, an arrow sang,
And cleft the middle air, and dipped and plunged
Full on the naked marble of his foot
Through high-arched insep, ankle and the STR ngs
That bind the straining heel it Sped and nailed
The wolf-skin sandal to the CRIMSON sand.
Slow on one knee he sank, his rong right hand
Staying h,s fall, and watched with steady eye
The full life draining from the wound and spake,-
Mother, thy word was true. The end is come"
Nor ever 5pakc again.
They bore him back
And all the host fell back and in the tents,
In place of wine and mirth and revery,
Was woe of women and disuay OF men.
