ierent people, that in one part or another
revolution was going OH most OF the time;
while, il things were quiet at home, his
constant enemy, Francis |. OF France. might
always be depended on to keep him lighting.
Between his own people, whether in spain,
Flanders, or Germany. the French, and the
Turks Charles was kept all tie time busy,
though he found opportunity. meanwhile. to
govern his empire in wise and vigorous
way, and to oppose with as much yigor but
with less wisdom, the new German reformer,
Martin Luther.
Ii is interesting to remember at this time,
when people are celebrating the four hun
dredth anniversary of Luthers birth that be-
tween him and the Emperor Charles there
was a perpetual conflict. Charles could not
be anything else but Catholic; and when
he heard how boldly Luther had nailed his
confession OF faith to the Church door
at Wittenburg, and what stir the brave act
was making throughout Germany, he began
TO be alarmed for the safety OF the Romish
Church.
He was barely twenty-one years old at
that time, but lie felt himself the defender of
the faith, and accordingly summoned Luther
to appear before the Diet or Congress OF
German Ste ties, which was to meet at Worms.
Fortunately for Luther, Charles was young
and milder in temper than he was IN later
lite. Years afterward he Ieproached himself
with having neglected his duty, for the sake
OF his word. in allowing Luther to get away
free.
One OF the bravest and best things that
Charles ever did was the capture OF the for
tress of Goletta, in Tunis. This was held by
the Moorish pirate Barbarossa, who had sub
United to the Sultan Solyman, aud had re-
ceived command OF the Ottoman fleet. In
the fort were 800 Christian pris
oners, suffering all the terrible hardsnips
which the Moors were accustomed to infiict
ON their captives. and probably never expect
bold rush captured the fort, knocked of their
chains, and allowed them to turn the guns
on their former masters, which we may be-
lieve they willingly did.
Toward the end of his life his wars were
less successful and although Luther had
died, Professionalism still lived and thrived.
All his efforts had not succeeded in killing
it, and at length he had found himself I'M
willingly obliged to recognize il as the relig-
ion of a great part of his subjects. Age and
sickness, too, came upon him, and when he
was fifty-six years old, and had reigned lorty
years, he concluded to resign his crown to
his son, Philip H., and retire himself to a
monastery.
In the same room where the little baby, so
many years before, had received the stroke
of knighthood, the great Monarch now laid
down his power. Perhaps there were some
there who remembered the earlier scene and
recalled all the important events that had
happened between, and thought mournfully
how little royalty and wealth and power add
to the enjoyment of life, and how soOD, al
any rate. all these things must pass away
Charles lived two years after that, and died
in the monastery, having taken all odd IAN
ey, three weeks before his death, to celebrate
his funarai rir

not knowing how far the disrobing process

When the lovelight in them lies:
II is like the dim recesses

II is found in the midst of the desert
And on the mountain side,
And in the murky midnight

And over many nations

AS IL travels round the world;
And even before creation
IL held an ample sway.
Lol frail as glistening dewdrop.

Ii reigns grim old monarch,
And ever from death revives;
With dim and spectral mystery

The Polar Rare.
ISt. Nicholas.

Far away 20 the north of US stretches land
white With snow during most OF the year,
where bleak winds in unobstructed fury
sweep over deserted wastes; where night
hangs like a somber cloud for months and
months unbroken and where the crystal
mountains called icebergs are born. There
is the home of the polar hare. There, where
man aimlessly wanders in vain search Tor
food or shelter, this dainty creature thrives
Strangely enough, however, IL sometimes
happens that men are overtaken by starva-
ton in the midst of numbers OF polar hares.
This is because the little creature has pc
culisrity which makes it difficult for the in
experienced hunter to shoot It.
When approached 1T seems to have no fear
at all. but sits up, apparently waiting for the
coming hunter. Just, however as the prob
ably hungry man begins to finger the trigger
of his gan, and to eat in anticipation the
savory Stew, the hare turns about and bounds
actively away toFa safe distance, and, once
more rising upon its launches, sits with a
provoking air of seeming unconscious
ness until the hunter is again nearly
within gun-shot, when it once more jumps
away.
This must be tantalizing enough to a we'll
fed sportsman, but how heart-breaKing to
the mail who knows that not only his
own life but the lives of mis- comrades as
well. depends upon the capture of the pretty
creature.
NOTWITHSTANDING, however, the dppdtcut
impossibility of approaching near enough to
the hare to shoot it, there is in reality very
simple way to accomplish it This plan is
practced by the natives. who no doubt have
learned it after many hungry failure. 1t
consists in walking in circle around the
animal. gradually narrowing the circle until
within the proper distance. Simple as this
plan is it is so effective that with care, the
hunter may get within fifty yards OF the
hare, which seems completely bewildered by
his circular course.
Perhaps the sad story of the heroic suffer
ing and final loss of Captain belong and his
brave comrades might never have had to be
told. had it not been for their probable ig-
norance of a matter of no more importance
than this OF how to shoot polar hare
When they left their ship, the Jeanette"
they tooS with them only rifles, thinking, no
doubt, that they would fall in with only
such large game as bears, RENDERS, and
wolves.
As a matter of fact, such large animals
were very scarce, while ptarnigan, a species
of grouse, were plentiful. and would have
supplied food in abundance TO the whole
brave band had there been shot-guns with
which TO shoot them. AS it was the rifles
brought down but a few of the birds, and
thus, in the midst of comparatively plenty
the brave fellows starved.

No, Sir!

A Scotch minister once said no
woman could bear pain as well as a
man. That is not so. The fact is
generally the other way. Mrs. Ed
ward Meyers, of Rondout, N. Z, sub
mitted to the operation of the removal
of her hand by amputation, without
taking ether, or moving muscle, or
uttering a groan. Dr. Kennedy, also
of Rondout, n. Y, who performed the
operation, said he never saw such
heroism. The lady's disease was Ery-
sipelas, and afterward the Doctor gave
his 'sFavorite Remedy" to cleanse the
Blood. Mrs. Meyers is now we'll and
strong. 17may2t.
