Willing to Give WAY.

On Detroit street car woman of 80,
made up to look about 25 years old, got
aboard at crossing to find every seat
occupied. She stood for moment, and
then. selecting poorly-dressed man
about As years Of age, she observed:
"Are there no gentlemen on this
carr"
"Indeed, dunno" he replied, as he
looked up and down. eff there hain't,
and you are going clear through. I'll
hunt up one for you at the end of the
line !"
There was an embarrassing silence for
moment, and then light broke In on
him all Of sudden, and he rose and
said:
"You can have this seat, madam. I
am allus perfectly willing to stand up
and give my seat to anybody older than
myself"
That decided her. She gave him a
look which he will not forget to his
dying day, and, grabbing the strap, she
refused to sit down, even when five seats
had become vacant.

Physically Fine, but Vile Morally.

The Afghans are Mohammedans of the
faith Sunni they reverence the first four
Khalifs, and have no particular venera-
alton for the prophet (Khalif) Ali. They
are split up into tribes, clans and fami-
lies, each under its own head, COM
mander, or Sirdar; and they are often
at war or feud, and often engaged in
conspiracies, rebellions and assassina-
tons. They are tall, burly, active men,
with olive complexions,, dark Jewish
features, black eyes and long black hair
hanging down in curls. Their coun-
tenances are calm, and they affect
frankness end bonhomie; they will
sometimes indulge In rude POPULARITY
but their expression is savage, and evil
passions are often raging in their hearts
Like hidden fires. They are bloodthirsty,
deceitful and depraved, ready to sell
their country, their honor, and their
very souls for lucre. They care for moth
ing but fighting and loot, delighting in
the din of arms, the turmoil of battle,
and the plumber of the killed and
wounded; without any relish for home
life or domestic ties (; without sting Of
remorse or sense of shame. There are
nopeeple on earth having afner physique
or viler morals. They are the relics
of a nation who have played out their
parts in history. In bygone ages they
conquered Hindoostan ON the one side
and Persia on the other; but the con-
quering instinct has died away amid the
incessant discord of family feuds and
domestic broils.- Wheeler's "Short
History of India"

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

SOME of the nerves of the human
body are so fine and small that six Of
them are only equal to one hair OF the
head in size.
EVERY one should know thata prompt
shock of electricity will restore person
to consciousness, who is dying from the
effects Of chloroform.
In the manufacture of lead pencils,
the lead is ground TO almost impalpable
powder, mixed in paste with water,
made into long coil-like wire, by being
forced through small hole Gust as
water issues from syringe), straight
ened, and cut in lengths and baked like
pottery. Tine "hardness" is due to an
admixture of clay. The pencil is made
in two halves by machinery, at cheap
and rapid rate.
THE origin of the word "Canada " is
very curious. The Spaniards visited
that country previous to the French,
and made particular search for gold
and silver, and, finding none, they often
sang among themselves "Aca NADIA -
there is nothing here. The Indians,
who watched closely, learned the SEN
tence and it's meaning. The French ar.
rived, and the Indians (who wanted
none OF their company, and supposed
they were also Spaniards on the same
errand), were anxious to inform them,
in the Spanish sentence, "Aca nada."
The French, who knew as little Of Span
ish as the Indians, supposed this inces-
santly-recurring sound was the name OF
the country, and gave it the name Of
Canada.
The history of bells is one of the most
interesting in the record of Inventions.
They were first heard OF about ;Ae year
400, before which date rattles were used.
In the year 610 we hear OF bells III the
city of Sens, the army of Clothaire, King
of France, having been frightened away
by the ring Of them. In $50 the first
peal of bells was hung III England, at
Croyland Abbey. Many years ago it
was estimated that there were at least
1892 peals of bells, great and small, In
England. It has been thought that the
custom of ringing bells was peculiar to
England but, in fact, the Cathedral OF
Antwerp, celebrated for its magnificent
spire, has peal OF bells ninety in num-
Der, on which is played every half hour
the most elaborate music.
A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Put
ney, says: Having occasion to gointo
my garden about half past 10 o'clock at
night, I found there was a thick white
fog, through which, however, a star
could be seen here and there. [ had an
ordinary bedroom candlestick in my
hand, with the candle lighted, in order
to find the object I wanted. To my
great surprise, found that the lighted
candle projected fantastic image of
myself on the fog, the shadow being
about twelve feet high, and of an oddly
distorted character, just as the specter
of the Broken is said to be-. May not
the gigantic spirits Of the Ossianic
heroes, whose form is composed of mist,
through which the stars can be seen, be
derived from the fantastic images
thrown upon the mountain fogs from the
camp fires of the ancient Gauls? In q
land where mists abound superstitious
people might very readily come to con-
slider a hooking cloud-specter to be
supernatural, though it was really their
own image magnifed.

GRANDMOTHER.

Grandmother PAGES with stately tread
Forward and back through the quaint old room,
Out of the freight dancing and red,
Into the gathering dusk and gloom;
Forward and back in her silAen dress,
With its falling ruffies Of frost-lihe Lace;
A look of deepest tenderness
In the faded lines Of her fine old face.
Warm on her breast in his red night-gown
Like a scarlet lily the baby lies,
While softly the tired lids droop down
Over the little sleepy eyes.
Grandmother sings TO HIM sweet and low,
And memories conc with the cradle song
or the days when she sang il long ago,
When her life was young and her heart was strong
Grandmother's children have left her now;
The large old house is shadowed place;
But ginning GU; in the sunset glow
OF her life, like star, comes tho h2by's lace.
He lies where of old his father lay;
Softly she sings him the same sweet strain;
Till the wears intervening swept away,
And the joy of ife's morning is hers again.
Grandmother's gray head is bending low
Over the dear little downy one;
The steps of her pathway are few to go
The baby's journey is just begun.
Yet the rosy dawn of his childish love
Brghtens the evening that else we're dim;
And, in after years. from her home above,
The light of her blessing viii rest on him.
