the party which had arrived at point

A REMARKABLE BooK.-The following
letter from we'll known lady in Florence
says the Boston AdUertiser describes a
remarkable book, made and decorated bv
Boston lady: | am sure you and many
Bostonians will be glad to hear of Miss
Alexander's book, recently bought by
Ruskin, for his Sheffield museum. and for
which he paid three thousand dollars.
1t is large quarto, and text, music,
and pictures are done by her own hand in
pen and ink. 1t has taken her four years
to do it. Ruskin saw it but once, and the
next day wrote to her mother most
tlattering letter, and offered more than her
price, which she would not take. 1t is
the folklore of the Tuscan contadini, and
often taken down from their own lips.
Many pages are headed by few bars of
music, giving the air for the legend. The
test is like copper plate. and written in
Italian and English verses, side by side on
arated by exquisite drawings of beautiful
mountain plants indigenous to the region.
1t would be vain to attempt description
of the beauty of the faces in the pictures
She says they are portraits, and she no
'oeos ehi'ho oiO iutNhluily cOpieu tno
men. women, and babies that she has
lived among every summer, and that she
has glorified and immortalized as madon-
mas, Josephs, and Christ childs; but l see
in them that inspiration that, quite uncon-
sciously, works through and above ones
model to one ideal; and they are more
beautiful, more holy, and more refined
than the old masters ideals. The first
picture is the view from her home here in
town in Prazza Santa Maria Novella and
takes in the beautiful arches of the clois
ters of that church. Some are mountains
that are the home of the legends, and
some have even ideallzed COWS and asses
in the pictured Christ story. Miss Alex
ander is a Boston woman and says she
never took a lesson in her life. She, as
you know, is daughter of portrait
painter, well known there years ago, and
one of whom we are all proud. The book is |
unique, and it is a rare treat to look it over. |
The peasant woman who turns leaves and
shows the book, and who has lived twenty
years, and loves her, is study. She |
1oes it with a reverence and appreciation |
to see.
The book has made such stir here that |
lames are down for several weeks to
zee it, as only four can look com fortably |
1t it at once, and then it goes to England.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.-As soon as boy
leaves school and looks about to see what
he shall do next, he is very likely to be
told by some unwse person, THE world
owes you a living" This probably strikes
him as being very unwise remark, and the
boy says to himself, "If it is true that the
world owes me living, then l am all
right" He finds place, and goes to
work manfully; but after time he con-
cludes there is no fun it., and he stops to
consider: 'If the world owes me living
why should l trouble MYSELF Let the
world pay its debt to me-" Suddenly he
loses his place and has nothing to do.
He is surprised and wonders why the
world does not give him his DUE" ga
nice bed, warm clothes, and regular din
ners are good things and l ought to have
them. The world owes them to me, and
if do not get them I've been cheated out
of my rights"
AT one time this country was a wilder.
ness, where no man could live, save by
lighting the wild beasts. Some one chased
away the bears and wolves, cut down the
forest, laid roads, built towns and dug
canals. Somebody spent vast sums of
money in constructing railroads, steam
boats, docks, lighthouses, schools,
libraries and all the fine things you enjoy
so freely. More than this, somebody pays
the policeman, the fireman, the soldier.
sailor, the lighthouse keeper and school.
master.
From the day you were born your
father and mother have fed, clothed, and
sheltered you. 1t has cost you nothing.
None of these great public works, roads,
canals, towns, navies, and armies cost you
anything. How can you say the world
owes you livingP Is it not you who are
in debtP What has boy done to deserve
all this? Not thing. 1t is you who must
pay not the world. Ali boys, he was
a foolish creature who first said, 1.-The
world owes me living" He told a very
silly fable. The world owes no man a
living till lie has done some worthy deed,
some good work to make the world better
and falrer place to live in. These old
fellows who dug canals and laid out
towns, who built cities aud invented all
these splendid things,-these telegraphs,
these ships, these magnificent engines,-
bad the right idea. They worked manful.
Iy, and the world did at last owe them a
living, and paid it many times over. III
you mean TO get out of the great debt you
0we the world, do something, 90 to work
and show you are a man. Then, when
7ou have shown the world you can work,
t will gladly pay you living, and the
liner and more noble you work the
greater will be your reward. 81 Nicholas

Two St. Louis school principals have
been tried for assault and battery within a
fortnight because of hogging exercises,
and in the last one the judge gave a sort
of extra judicial dissertation on corporal
punishment and wound up thus: -Four
years experience in the administration of
criminal law convinces me that the boys
who become criminals are the boys who
don't get whipped, and when it is
remembered that large percentage of
the bolder crimes known to the law is
committed by youths ranging in age from
fourteen to twenty years, the question
arises, Is it better to whip first or imprison
aiterward? Boys who from infancy are
allowed to follow the road of their own
vicious inclinations go from bad to worse
and unrestrained to their almost certain
and ultimate ruin. The defendant is
discharged"

While the voice that drowned the trumpets was the

Ever thus, my old companions Genius has us by the

Walking the tempest with u.s. every crisis to com

Like the bugle blown of evening by some honest ok
son of art
Not an echo left of mllace of triumph in the

As when summer thunder murmurs in pathetic
showers of rain
Years forever consecraed here he lived where duties
Never crying the climate or the tolls monotony;
Here his darling boy he buried and the night in Wig

Like MS LORD wlthl1 the garden, when the tired dis
ciples slept
How his call for men went ringing round the world

And the races of creation came the proud revolt to

How TO LEARv TO SWIM. Wade out
until the water is up to your breast then
turn your face towards the shore, and try
to swim towards it. You know that the
water between you and the shore is not
over your depth, as you have just waded
through 1t; this give you confidence to
strike out. Confidence is great help il
learning. The chief use of the various
aids in learning.the swimming plank, ,corks
or the presence of an other person, is to
give the learner confidence. A plank a
few feet long, on which the beginner can
place one or both hands, is sometimes Of
use. Corks or life preservers of any kind
that are fastened to the body we do not
like. One needs but very little aid
in fact no aid-in order to keep his head
above er,if he only has confidence. If
an older brother or friend will hold
his hand in such manner that you can
rest your chin upon it, you can soon learn
the proper movement of the arms and legs
Another method is to have strap or
band OF webbing or other material around
t he chest just under the arms. A few
feet of stout cord has one end attached to
the band, and the other fastened to light
stout pole. In this manner strong per-
son can help the learner while standing on
the shore. The chief use of this contri-
vance is to give the learner confidence.
Those VIII undertake to aid boy in
learning to swim, should resisv all
tamptation to play tricks. No matter how
slight ducking may be given. it start
les the learner, and he is thereafter fear
ful that it may be repeated American

TIE ALAMO FORTRESS -"Remcmber
the Alamo" was famous war cry in the
Mexican war which is recalled by the
rep' rted transfer of the Alamo to the
state of Texas. The Alamo is one of the
six old Spanish missions in the neighbor-
hood of San Antonio, which are almost
the only remains of that early civilization
in the southwest. During the war for
Texan independence in 1886 the Alamo
was the scene of a frightful massacre, the
commander Colonel David Crockett, the
eccentric Tennessee congressman, together
with all his troops, being slaughtered
without quarter. The old missions were
churches, the property of the Catholics,
to the state of Texas, and the Lone Star
flag appropriately floats over it.

The contrarieties of the Chinese, as
compared with us, have often been COM
mented on. The Rev. Selah Brown
writes about them in the Christian Advo-
cate: 1--WE shake hands as salutaton
Chinaman shakes hands with himself
He stands at a distance, and clasping both
together, shakes them up and down at
YOU. We uncover the head as mark of
respect; they keep their heads covered,
but take off their shoes for poiteness
We shave the face; they shave the heal
md eyebrows. We cut our finger nails;
hey consider it aristocratic to have nails
rom three to five inches long, which they
IRE obliged to protect in silver cases.
The Chinaman's waistcoat is outside his
coat, and his drawers outside his trousers.
We blacken our shoes; he whitens them.
We have soup as first course at dinner,
md dessert at last; they have dessert at
first and soup at last. We want our
wines ice cold; the Chinese drink theirs
scaldno hot We bury in the earth; they
IN its surface. With us, black clothing is
A badge of mourning; with them, white
garments indicate the loss of friends. In
that land of opposites it is the old men
shuttlecocks, and, to keep up their odd
way of doing things, they play the latter
with their feet instead of lheir hands. In
China, women do mems work, and men
are the millners, dressmakers, and wast-
erwomen, With us the right hand is the
place of honor; with them it is the left
nand. In dating letters we place the
year last; they write the year first. They
always speak of the mariners compass
(their own inventory AS pointing to the
south. We pay the physicians when we
are sick; they pay while they are well,
but as soon as they are sick the pay stops.
Here men kill their enemies; Chinaman
gets revenge by killing himself. We use
a soft pillow; they a block of wood.
They launch ships sidewise, ring bells
from the outside, and actually turn their
screws in the opposite direction from
ours"
