Once, while his chances of victory were

A Sense of Honor.

The following is taken from an edi.
torial in The Century for December:
"There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to
this generation of Americans, by min
listers of the gospel, by both clerical
and lay instructors of the youth, by all
who have public influence or private
authority, is-a of honor! It must
be shown and insisted upon that every
position in life where one person is en-
ployed by another to do a certain work,
imposes an obligation to fulfill the du-
ties of the place with an honorable and
d~isinterested regard for the interests OF
the employer. 1t must be shown that
this view Of employment applies to the
cook, the errand-boy, the cashier, the
legislator, the Governor, the President.
This is q trite, and apparently simple,
and perhaps somewhat stupid view OF
the opportunities of a smart and
ambitious young American of our day;
but unless this commonplace view Of
responsibility is laid hold of by increas-
ing numbers in the future of our coun.
try, we will not say that our society
will, go to pieces, but we will say that
Jul oalamities will increase, and that
we will get into troubles, and not soon
out of them, compared with which the
dangers and distress of the past will
seem almost insignificant"

A New Game For Children.

The little one will thank us for re-
printing a description of the following
new game for children, as is described
in the Little Folks Magazine. 1t is
called the game of Names"
Each player is, presented with a. long
slip of paper and a pencil, and if one
OF the players has a watch so much tho
better; if not, Il clock must be used.
One commences by calling out: Girls
names commencing with A-two min
utes allowed. Each player then
writes down all the girls names that
he Tor she) ~canrccollect, and at the ex-
plration of the two minutes ''time'' is
called. Then the Oldest player reads
from his Cor her) slip all the names he
or she has written down-say Amy,
Amabel, Alice, Ann, Annie. Amanda,
Alleen, etc. All the other players, as
the names r read out, cancel any
name read out. If, for instance, all
have written Amy, all cancel Amy and
count one mark. Say six players have
Amabel and four have not, each of the
six counts one mark, those who have
not thought and written. down Amabel
get nothing for Amabel, and so on
through the list. The object of the
game is to teach the children all boys
and girls names. When the marks
have been allotted for all the names,
the total 'of. the marks are read out and
noted on each slip. The players, then
proceed in a similar manner for all
r.boys'names commencing with A., such
as Alfred, Abel, Adam, Andrew, Ar
thur, etc. The. game can be continued
until all the letters, of the alphabet are
exhausted: But practically, young
thirty sets, or fifteen letters consecu-
lively. Various names crop up, and
the memoryis is. we'll exercised, and the
children generally vote it great fun.
Any. one introducing pet or fancy
names, such as Pussy, Kit, Teddy, etc,
f~orfeits two. marks, unless it b ar.
ranged that they be allowed.

Some Elephant Stories.

Major Rogers had been out shooting

an elephant made a charge at hin
from the skirts of the Jungle. Their
was no help for it except to run, an,
-for~-4Oo yards the Major kept JUS
ahead, feeling at every step just as i
the'trunk was trying to- twist itsel
I about his loins. n around astre,

? which he made the most of by spring
ing into the branches; but, before h.
had time to draw up his legs, the ele
plant had got him with his proboscis

The; struggle didnot last long for, tt

boots, which the former wore, slipped
of, released the leg and. saved the life
OF poor Rogers. The dilemma, how
ever, did not end here; for the elephant
finding himself baked of his prey, afte'
destroying the boot, took up his quar-:

ty-four hours, when the country post
man happened to pass by. Rogers gave
him'notice of his position, and soor
help came and the elephant was fright
ened5 away by tom-toms and yelling.
Had this occurred in the deserted par
OF the jungle, the officer must have
been starved to death in the tree.
The native Hindoo from want Of
thought keeps up q constant drumming
on the beasts head with the goad; OF
'"ankus." 1, therefore, hoped not tt
use it at all. Such an improv, ment all
at once, however, proved more than
theSelephantine mind could grasp. He
began really to enjoy himself, going
his own.way more than mine, till al
last he marched straight into an i'm.
mense forest tree of the banyan species
and commenced to browse. He seized
the boughs above his head, and, tug.
ging violently with them, brought them
down On my devoted skull. This was
too much. I araised the ankus and
brought it down on his head with .
sblow that brought blood through the
skin. This had the desired effect, and
he at once bundled off along the road
by which he knew I wanted to 20. He
merely.took ,withlhim q branch about
the size of q small apple tree to discuss
as we went along. From this moment
we were friends, and l don't think !
