Protect your Game.-This fall and when

he may be able to end some partridges TO repay
him for his tramp. if he protects his premises
from inyasions and wholesale destruction BY the
hunters who at this season swarm the rural dis.
tricts. The farmers should publish notices warn
ing OF ucspassers. A gunner has no more right

mission than he has to despoil his poultry yard.
The Law now permits gunner TO hsnt partrdges

been posted against trespassers this season than

Truthfulness.

Truthfulness lies at the foundation of all
true, genuine character. There can be no
manliness without truthfulness. Untruth-
fulness is the worst of vices. the most de-
basing and ar-reaching in its demoraliza-
ton. 1t is moral leprosy. In the edu
cation of the young therefore. the first and
most important lesson with which their
minds should be impressed, is the sacred
nature OF 4 promise.
Too few grown people are as sensitive
as they should be to the meanness and
guilt of treachery, especially in little
things. or believe as they ought in the
profiIableness in business and social life,
of strict truihfulness. Many young
man is dismissed from his place OF
employment, SIMPLY because he does
not always keep his word with his en-
ployers, or in some way impresses them
with the ide that he is not true, not relia-
BILE. Many man starts in business life
with the fairest prospect of success and
vet fails because he has the habit of max
ing more promises than he keeps. No
person can have any reputation for char
acter. or have much influence in the COM
munity, whe is careless in giving his
word and then not careful to keep it.
Many life is blasted. many fortune lost
BY the breaking of a promise.
And, next to the vice and wickedness
of falsehood. is cunning; for cunning il
quite certain to lead to falsehood, and
when you add lying to cunning you have
rascality. At best, cunning is the ape OF
wisdom

A Human Nightingale.

His Majesty the King of Bavaria is pa
sionately fond of music of nightingales. One
beautiful moonlight night word was sent to
his majesty that nightingale was singing in
the palace gardens. lie hastened out, not
daring to believe the report The silvery
notes, so wonderful, rich and full, rising,
falling, thrilling and dying away like the dis.
tant echoes of flute, were filing the air with
bewitching melody. The king stood fascin.
ated, entranced, and would have remained in
the palace grounds the livelong night had moi
the bird, weary of its song, ceased its music
After waiting in vain for it to begin again the
king retired. The next night he went into
the garden, but was doomed to disappoint
ment. The bird was silent. The third NIGH
he was more fortunate. The nightingale
warbled sweeter and louder than ever, and
the king was in rapture.
Then for three nights it failed to be heard
and it was thought that the bird must have
died or flown away to warmer skies. The
king in despair offered heavy rewards for it.
return, but the most diligent search failed tc
find it. On the seventh night it came again
and continued its songs, to the kings greal
delight. for two or three nights. Then il
ceased, and the king waited long and anxious
IL for it many nights after. And then in
some mysterious manner, it came to the
kings ears that he mad been imposed upon
that the nightingale which had sung to hin
so sweetly and given him SO much delight fol
so many moonlight evenings, was six fee
high. wearing a spiked military hat and I
soldiers uniform, who had learned the note,
of these warblers so perfectly that it was diff
ficult to detect the song Of the real bird from
the imitation. There was q tornado in tn,
kings household when his wrath broke forth
and that night the nightingale was dieting OF
bread and water in q cell.

Food in Tin Cans.

1t is stated by Professor Helmer, in the
London Lancet, that tin. even when quite
pure. is much more readily attacked by
canned articles OF food than is commonly
supposed. He has made an examination
of large number and great variety of
such canned goods. finding tin in
comparatively large quantities in nearly
all of the samples examined. Thus, in
the line of acid fruits, as peaches and
cherries, the metal was found corroded to
an alarming extent; meats, and even con-
densed milk. had taken mp and been con-
