LORD BEACoNsEIE1D,s IDEAz.

If he had been possessed by a great
love Of truth or of humanity, oil might
have come right he would have quickly
worked through his youthful cynicism
to something higher. But pride and
ambition, the pride of race and the pride
of genius, left no room for these senti--
ments. His intellect was skeptical.
His heart was somewhat cold. Before.
him lay world In which fame and
power were to be won by the gifts.
which he knew himself to possess the
laurels Of others would not let him
sleep; and he threw all his soul into the.
pursuit OF fame and power.
1t was poor ideal. But he seems to.
have thought it the only ideal, and
probably looked on those who stroye-
after some other as either fools or hypo-
critics. Early in his political life he said
one day to one of the foremost of his
political opponents Grom whom the
present writer heard the anecdote), as.
they took their umbrellas in the vesti-
bule OF. the House Of Commons CATER

here? Fame This is the true arena.

began to punch the bear, Ranse and I
standing ready to shoot him if he
jumped off the beam and came out of
the barn.
But he wouldn't leave his beam.
Back and forth he skulked from one end
of it to the other, growing and tearing
at Joe's pole.
He was big old fellow, but he did
not seem to have much fight in him.
At length we got so we were not at all
afraid of our game. Joe declared he
would have him off that beam if he had
to go up and push him off.
Ranse ran and got the clothes line.
We made slip-noose at one end of it.
Joe then set the long ladder against the
beam, and, while Ranse pushed the bear
on the other side with the pole, he
climbed part way up the ladder and
flung the moose over the animals head.
/ had hold of the other end of the
rope and jerked it tight. The bear
reared up on the beam and clawed at
The moose. but couldn't get it of.
We all three caught and pulled. He
hung on to the beam for dear life, with
his nails, and then got his fore paws
round it.
"Heave-ho I" Ranse shouted.
We surged and jerked, but couldn't
start him.
The rope soon choked him, however,
80 badly that his tongue stuck out, and
he toppled over to the under side of the
beam.
But he still hung with his paws, and
for some time we couldn't break his
hold. At last, with tremendous jerk,
we forced him off, and he came down
into the middle of the floor with bump
that shook the whole barn. While he
was kicking round to get up, Joe struck
him on the head with the ak, and killed
him.
It was one of the largest bears that
had ever been seen in our neighbor-
hood, and weighed as much as our heav-
lest hog.
We did not go to Woodstock that day,
and SO lost the shooting match but, on
the whole, think we had more sport at
home.
We concluded that the bear had been
near the road where we left the steers
in one of the hemlock clumps, perhaps
and that the smell of the fresh meat
had led him to climb into the cart to
help himself.
Two or three of the turkeys were
eaten, but otherwise the load was NOT
injured. - Youths Companion.

The moon a lghthung world Of gold,

The fresh poinp of the summer leaves,
And fragrance in the breathing air.
Beneath the trees fat silhouettes, ].
Mute idiot shapes that shun the light,
Weird crook-kneed things, tickle crew, -
The restless children Of the night. =
In idle, vacant pantomime
They nod and nod forever more,
And clutch with aimless hutteriDg hands,
With thin black hands, the leaf-strewn floor.
Quiverfng, wavering there forever,
On the bright and silent ground
Meshed and tangled there together
While the rolling earth goes round. =,
And the gold-tinged airy ocean
Ripples light in many breeze ~

waving the red flag as though she had
been used to tagging trains all her life.
At that moment another remarkable
figure presented itself to the astonished
eyes of the passengers. A man, drip
ping wet, bruised and scratched, as
though he had been drawn through
briers. came tearing toward the cars,
stumbling and almost falling at every
step. AS he reached little Polly he
snatched her up and covered her face
with kisses.
you little darling" he cried, "do
you know what you've done? You've
saved the lives Of more than hundred
people"
Polly, nervous and excited, began to
cry. One after another the passengers
came hurrying out of the train and
crowded around her, praising and kissing
her, until she was quite ashamed and
hid her head upon the kind fagman's
shoulder, whispering, "Please take me
away and find mamma and papa"
Almost the last to alight were Polly's
parents. "Why, it's our Polly ?" they
both exclaimed at once.
The draw was now being closed again,
and the conductor cried, ''All aboard p
The passengers scrambled back to their
seats again. Polly's father took her into
the car with him, and now she looked
calmly at the people as they gathered
around, and answered politely all ques-
tons put to her, but refused the rings,
chains, bracelets and watches that the
grateful passengers pressed her to &C
cept as tokens of their gratitude for saw
ing their lives.
At last Polly grew tired of so much
praise, and spoke out: "Really I don't
deserve your thanks, for I never once
thought Of any one but papa and mamma.
So keep your presents for your own lit
tie girls. Thank you ali the same"
Those that heard her laughed, seeing
they could do nothing better for her than
to let her remain unnoticed for the short
distance she had to go.
When Polly was lifted out of the car,
and stood upon the steps of the station,
while her father looked after the lug
gage, the passengers threw kisses and
waved their handkerchiefs to her until
they were out of sight.
A few days afterward Polly was aston
ished at receiving beautiful ivory box
containing an exquisitely enameled
medal, with these words engraved on it:
Presented to Polly Gardner, whose
courage and presence of mind saved a
hundred lives"

Good Taste Among the Mighty.

The more think about the elephants,
the more wonderful they seem to be.
The great, clumsy creatures are so very
knowing, so very loving, and SO like hui
man beings in many of their qualities.
They know their power well, and they
also know just when they must not use
it. Deacon Green tells me that keepers
and trainers of elephants often lie down
on the ground and let the huge fellows
step right over them ; and that they feel
perfectly safe in doing SO, because they
know the elephants will pick their way
carefully over the PROSTATE forms, never
SO much as touching them, still less
treading on them. Yet the mighty
creatures can brush a man out of exist
ence as easily as man can brush fly
away. And what delicate tastes they
have-delighted; I'm told, with straw
berries, gum-drops, or any little dainty
of that kind! They are fond of bright
colors, too, and travellers tell wonderful
tales of seeing elephants gather flowers
with the greatest care, and smell them,
apparently with the keenest pleasure.
1t is true they eat the same flowers
afterward, but dear me I've seen girls
do the same thingl Many a time I've
watched little lady pluck wild rose,
look at it moment, sigh, show love-
lyl" then open her pretty lips and
swallow the petals one by one.
Why shouldn't an elephant ?-'sJacE.

health. In fact, they are seldom lit
to stand erect or walk block, but should
be rolled around on a sofa or carried on

MEDICAL LANGUAGE.

One of the most barbarous uses to
which our language is put is the preva-
lent medical style of expression. Every
science and art has it's technical terms,
which are help to exact thought and
expression. In medical literature they
have become an obstacle to the masters
OF science, while the ordinary man could
as easily master new language as read
an average medical essay. They seem
to have been prepared by ambitious med
lcal Sophomores whom little learning
has lifted above their mother tongue, so
that they can only express themselves
in sounding words of Latin origin.
We are glad to welcome rebuke of
this grave fault in the Lancet, by G..
Vivian Poore, M. D., F. r. G. P, pro-
lessor OF medical Jurisprudence in the
University College, London. Referring
to dictionary of medical and scientific
terms now in course of publication, he
says that, if its present proportions are
maintained, it will contain over 5000
terms; and that, at the present rate of
word-making. an appendix will be nee
essary by the beginning Of the next
century possibly bigger than the parent
book.
This fetal love of long words, he af-
firms, has helped to check the advance
OF medical science. In this "pedantic
Jargon, mouth becomes the oral orifce;
the nose, the olfactory organ the skin
OF the back, the dorsal integument !:
touch, tactile sensibility; stomach
ache, gastralgic crisis; tears, lachry-
nation; sweating, a diaphoresis.
1t seems to be the pitiable ambition
OF some writer's to seize upon trifing
fact and give it the longest name they
can invent, with the aid of diction.
airy.
Many of our long Words" he says,
exercise a most unwholesome fasci-
nation upon the student, and I have
known some who appear to think that
parrot-like use of words was the main
use of medicine.
"There was time, perhaps, when
there was very little true knowledge
behind the verbiage which was the chief
stock-in-trade of the profession. Now
times are changed. 1t is no longer neces-
sary TO give back to the patient in Greek
what he had just told Us in English and
call it diagnosis. - Youths Conn.,

as much as she could do to keep her
There must be some way to avert the
awful calamity. She ran swiftly along
toward the rapidly-approaching train.
Lying on the ground just by the small
wooden house where the fagman gener-
ally sat Polly saw red flag. She re-
membered having heard that this flag
was used in case of danger, or when
there was any reason for stopping
the cars. She did not know whether
there was yet time, but she seized the
flag and flew wildly up the track.
"Oh, my papa oh, my mamma p
she cried; "they will fall into the river
and be drowned What shall I do %
and Polly waved the flag backward and
forward as she ran.
Then came the train around the curve.
She could see the white steam putting
from the pipe, and could hear the pant
ing of the engine.
ST know they'll run over me, but, if
mamma and papa are killed, I don't
care to hve," she said to herself as she
approached the great black engine.
When it was about 800 feet away from
her she saw head thrust out of the
little window by the locomotive, and
then, with great putting, snorting and
whistling, it began to move slower and
slower, until at last, when it was almost
upon Polly, it stopped entirely.
All the windows were alive with heads
and hands. The passengers screamed
and waved her off the track. She stepped
off and ran close up to the side of the
engine, and gasped out, "The bridge is
open and the man has fallen into the
river. Please stop the train or you'll be
drowned"
The engineer stared in amazement. as
well he might, to see small girl with a
flushed face, hair blown wildly about,
and four lilies pinned in her belt.
