Almost all boys are fond of dogs, and
yet nearly all will prosecute cats, rob
birds nests and pelt frogs. There are
exceptional boys who delight in cruelty,
and they frequently grow up with their
evil propensities strengthened by age
and exercise. There are also men of
brutal disposition who have acquired
their rufliansm after passing through the
juvenile stages of their existence, and
they are at once the plaques and the
puzzles Of society, defying its punish
ments and resisting its benevolent en-
deavors.
Cru lily to animals is partly the work
of brutal natures, and partly perpetrated
by well-meaning people, under the in
fuence OF bad habits ana If we could
estimate the total quantity of cruel in
Fl ction imposed upon birds, beasts, rep
tiles and fish, be should probably find
that by far the larger proportion resulted
rom the ill-regul tied action of good
aud even benevolent persons. Much of
i'll. treatment Of animals comes out of
the ordinary proceedings of trade. It
has been the custom to bleed calves, to
O ram sheep and poultry into the smallest
p ssible apparatus of transport, to drive
cattle for long distances without permit
ting them to drink and to slaughter
them without sufficient avoidance OF
pain. Each little circle in which these
malpractices occur forms its own theory
cruelty and benevolence, and laughs
scornluliy Mt outsiders who object to its
ways. The fox hunter thinks man

They Knew His Worth.

A clergyman relates the experience OF
faithful clerk who was tempted, but
followed his better promptings. 1t shows
that dishonest men value honesty-in
every one else but themselves. A young
man came to gentleman one day with
a case of conscience. He was CORES
ponding clerk in n fourlshing house of
business. His employers had begun to
direct him to write letters to customers
containing statements which he and they
knew to be false. He had objected and
they said:
1--WE are responsible for these state
ments it is nothing to you whether they
are true or false"
1 said to him, "Did they sign the let
ters, or ask you to write them in your
own name ?"
As soon as the question had left my
lips saw that, if there was difference,
both would be wrong, and L fastened to
tell him so.
He said, CT have to sign them with
my name, pro Messrs. Blank"
/ said. "Your case is clear you must
decline to do it."
He said, "Then shall be dismissed; -
and af,er a pause, g have wife and
family"
1 met him some days after. "Well,
Mr.. -" said, chow are you getting
on?"
He replied, "I am still in my stu
alton 1 had an interview with the part
ners, and told them 1 could not write
letters knew to be untrue. They were
very angry, and L expected to receive
notice, but have not received it yet. u
Months passed and he remained in his
situation. After while he called on me,
and 1 saw in his face that something had
happened.
"Well, Mr.. - said. shave you
had your dismissal?"
mo-" he said, 81 have not" and
smiled.
"What then?"
"a very confidential post in their
service, with higher salary, has fallen
vacant, and they have put me into it 7
On second thought these nnprincipled
men had come to the conclusion that q
clerk who would not deceive a customer
would not deceive them, and was toe
valuable to he lost.

The WagOn.LOad Of Bread.

A party of soldiers, during the late
civil war, found themselves one night
on battlefield in charge of a great
many wounded soldiers, who, by reason
of the sudden retreat OF the army, were
left wholly without shelter or supplies.
Having done their best for the poor
fellows-bringing them water from q
distant brook, and searching the harver-
sacks OF the dead for rations-they be-
gan to say to themselves and to one
another: These weak and wounded
men must have food or they will die.
The army is out of reach, and there is
no village for many miles; what are we
t. do?"
"Pray to God to send us bread" said
one.
That night, in the midst of the dead
and dying, they held little prayer
meeting. telling the Lord all about the
case, and begging Him to send them
bread Immediately though from whence
it could come they had not the most
remote idea. All night long they piled
their work for mercy. With the first
ray of dawn the sound of an approaching
wagon caught their ears; ana present
ly, Trough the mists of the morning,
appeared great Dutch farm wagon,
piled to the very top with loaves of
bread.
On asking the driver where he came
from, and who sent him, he replied:
"When went to bed last night knew
that the army was gone, and could not
sleep for thinking of the poor fellows
who always have to stay behind. Some
thing seemed to say to me: What will
those peOr fellows do for something to
eat!' 1t came to me SO strong that ]
walked up my old wife, and told her
what was the matter. We had only
little bread in the house, and while my
wife was making some more 1 took my
team and went round to all my neigh
bors. making them get up and give me
all the bread in their houses, telling
them it was for the wounded soldiers ON
the battle field. When | got home my
wagon was full; my wife piled her bak-
ing on the top, and I started off to bring
the bread to the boys, feeling just as If
the Lord Himself were sending me"

vessel from San Francisco to the Sau-
wich Islands. We have been on the
water for three weeks.
Every day at room, if the sun shines,
the captain comes up on deck with q
queer thing in his hand, which he calls
"a sextant. With this he looks at the sun,
and finds out just where on this great
ocean we are, and just how fir we have
gone in the last twenty-four hours. To-
day he says we are three hundred miles
from Honolulu.
There are twenty sails on this ship. I
love to lie down ON deck, and look at
them and think it is beautiful sight
to see them all spread and filed with
wind. 1t almost seems as If their tops
touched the sky. All the masts and
sails and ropes have names. L am sure
1t would take me good while to learn
them but all the sailors know them.
When the captain wants a sail changed,
he gives the order in a very loud tone !;
then the first mate, who is never very
far from the captain, repeats the order !;
and then the sailors run quickly to the
ropes and pull away, and sing while they
pull /; and the sail goes up or down, just

Every hour sailor takes his turn at
steering the ship; so that there is always
one man at the wheel. There is n large
bell swung just III front OF him, which he
strikes every half-hour to mark the time.
When it is twelve o'clock, he strikes the
bell eight times and it is eight bells
again mt four o'clock aud at eight clock.
The first hour after eight bells is two

six bells and the ha FIJI urs st ike the
odd numbers, five and sewn

time, think.
One day the captain slung hammock
on deck, and we had nice time swing
ing i'll it. Another day, when the sea
was very calm, he hung a rope from the
rigging, and made real swing for us.
We have long tish-lines which we throw
over the snip side. Once gentleman

Thanksgiving dinner. 1t was made out
of vegetables with knife-yellow roses

and tuberoses from turnips and potatoes.
Some of the petals he dipped into beet

ACCORDING to the Frdnkfurter Folks
zeitung, in 1865 the number of letters
sent through the post all over the world
was estimated Mt 1900, 600, 600. The
available data for 1877 shows that the
postal correspondence had risen to over
1920, 600, 900, which gives an average
of 100000 letters per day, or
1877 per second. Europe contributed
1886, 100000 letters to this enorm-
Gus mass of correspondence,
America about 76O,OOO,OOO, Asia $780,
100000, Africa 25, 900, 900 and Australia
$4,000, 900. Assuming that the popula-
ton of the globe was between ], 300, OOO,-
900 and l, 400, 900, 900, this would give
an average of three letters each for the
entire human race.

Two BABIES were born in the same
house at Oakland, Tenn. The mothers
were sisters, closely resembling each
other, ana the infants were both girls.
In the excitement of the occasion the
little ones got mixed, and this happened
before they had been dressed, or in any
other way marked for Identification.
There seems to be no way out of the un-
certainty, for three months have passed
without developing any resemblance to
the father in either case and If the
children grow up, IS they seem like y TO-,
with the physical characteristics OF their
mothers, nobody will ever know their
exact parentage. The present agreement
is to decide the question by lot.

Solomon and the Tame Bear.

Uncle Reuben was a farmer, and he
had great many cattle, sheep, horses,
pigs, geese and turkeys, all of which,
you know, are usually found on large
farm and, besides these, he had one an
imal not usually found on a farm, and
that was tame bear. He hired large
boy to 90 the "chores. as tine easy part
of farm work is called, and this BOYS
name was Solomon Sturtevant.
Now, although the bear was tame. he
was kept chained, for there was no tell
ing what mischief even a tame bear
might take in h s head TO do. He might
take n notion to find out how a nice ten
der pfg would taste.
Solomon thought il fine sport to tease
the bear, and there was one way of do
ing it more amusing than any other. aud
that was pelting him with green chest
nut burs
Chestnut burs, you know, are covered
with sharp thorns, and yet the bear be-
ing very found of chestnuts, would try
to get at the nuts which he knew were
in DEMONSTRATING and whining, and
making up very comical faces, because
the burs pricked his mouth.
Solomon would stand and watch him,
and think it fine fun. But he came near
doing it once too often, for one day,
when he had carried the bear ca Dful o.
burs, intending to have a good laugh at
him, the chain that held the bear was
not fastened as firmly as usual After
trying two or three burs, the bear made
n spring toward Solomon, got loose from
his chain, and started after him in
earnest.
Solomon was not long in deciding that
he had something to do TINT time be-
sides laughing. and started in hurry
to get out of the bears way. Now there
was ladder leaning Against the side of
the barn close by, and Solomon thought
that if he went upon the barn-roof he
would be all right.
No such thing. The bear went right
up the ladder after him. Then Solomon
ran up the roof to the ridge; but the
bear followed. Solomon ran down the
other side of the roof, and 30 did the
bear. Solomon jumped down to the cow
house. and still the bear followed him.
Then Solomon jumped on TO shed thai
was close by the cow-house, and the
bear jumped too.
Solomon now began to think that his
time had come. He gave ore more jump
from the shed to the ground. This was
too much OF Jump for the bear totake,
and 30 Solomon made good his escape.

pleased.
One day Fred found an old saddle in
the stable; and he proposed to BERTHE to

AN Ohio widower of education and
wealth advertised for a governess for
his orphan children. A lady at Rich
mond, Va, applied for the place, and
obtained testimonials of the highest
character. Which were forwarded to him.
He went to r chmond IT, see her, and a
bargain was made. just before the
hour for departure arrived he called
upon her pastor, saying that he had de-
termined not to take the lady he had re-
commended for governess, but that he

her his wife. The marriage soon fol-

Accuracy.

Every boy and girl should determine
to be accurate. In studying lessons be
sure to get the exact meaning; in talk
ing. state the truth of the thing; in
working do everything just right. L
have lately heard oy two boys who
worked in the same store. They were
named John and James. Their duties
were alike, and they were required to
be at the store at half-past 7 in the
morning. John was always there on
the minute, or few minutes before the
time; James came the same number of
minutes after. When John arranged
the goods in the window they were ac-
curately marked and priced; James for
got TO put the number ON or priced them
incorrectly.
These are only two of the things
which marked the distinction between
the two boys. But every day and week
they grew further apart, John doing the
work accurately, and therefore well
James slightingall he conveniently could.
John was promoted for carefulness i'm
his duties. James was warned to alter
his manner and finally discharged. The
accurate boy grew to he o wealthy, self
made man. Men liked to deal with him;
they were sure OF seirg treated fairly.
James tried several positions, but lost
them on account of his maccuracy in
little details, and. though hegets through
the world somehow, he has not The hap

opportunities John achieved.

OF Gen. Grant Galena letter to the
Courier. Journal says that he will in the
future make New York h s home. The
correspondent adds: cit has been said
that his travels around the world cost
him $50, 900, and that he came home a
much poorer man than upon the day he
sailed upon his journey. BE this as 1T
may, Gen. Grant is thought to be very
wealthy man by most of his old friends
in Galena, and should he live and keep
his health the time will come around
when he will not be ashamed to sit upon
the financial ladder with the proudest
millionaires of the land. His Mexican
railroad schemes, while yet in an unde-
veloped state, Grant thinks productive
of the richest harvest of any seed he has
vet sown. The General and Mrs. Grant
are expected to return to Galena late in
October, and after remaining here few
days he will go to New Mexico"

A PITTSBURGH paper tells of an ingen-

who has manufactured set of gold
studs, three in number, one of which is
tiny watch. 1t keeps excellent time.
The dial is about three eighths OF an
inch in diameter. The studs are caught
together by narrow strip of silver, to
be worn beneath the SHIRT bosom. The
middle one contains the watch. Turn
ing the stud above winds it, and the
hands are set by means of the one be-
low. A remarkable feature of the min

pendulum, like clock, and that this
pendulum acts with ease and accuracy

THE postoflice savings-bank expert
ment in Canada is regarded as great
success by the Postmaster General of
the Dominion. Certainly it holds its
popularity. During the year ending
June 80 last, there was deposited $4,-
1902, nearly double the amount OF
any former year, while the Withdrawals
amounted to $2,O72, 2S9, which latter
sum is but little above the average with
drawn every year. At the close OF the
year there were 39,6O5 accounts open,
representing So. 2Os, 225.77, or an aver
