and tickled a sandy-haired passengers

"Chicago." An uncertain look came

tle-field by the promptness, skill and
bravery of the surgeons. Their work
las often to be done in the midst of ex-
IRENE difficulty and danger; for it must
be done at once or not at all. In our
ate civil war, we knew of surgeons who
vent into the thick of the fight, where
men were dropping and bullets whist
ing all around them, so as to give i'm
mediate attention to the wounded and
ihus allay suffering and save life. This,
t must be acknowledged, demands a
loftier heroism than facing the enemy
sword in hand.
Napoleon in his will made this legacy
81 bequeath to the surgeon-in-chief of
the French army, Larry, oneahundred
thousand francs. He is the most vir-
tuous man / have ever known" Such
commentator from Bonaparte must
have been well-merited; and it was, as
the record of Larry's services in Egypt,
Russia and elsewhere amply prove.

officers who were much attended to, or
who "hved to fight another dGy." He
changed things so much for the better
that he sent forth Napoleon from Mos
cow with more than n hundred thous-
md .able-bodied men; although when
he army entered that fatal city it con-
aimed only ninety thousand combat
ants.
At the battle of Eylau, Larrey had
10 fewer than ten thousand patients
mder his care-an army in themselves.
Nor did he confine himself exclusively
the soldiers of France; a fellow
creature had only to need professional
assistance, and whatever his nationality,
le was his friend at once. He held that a
surgeon had no enemies except disease

Larrey's moral courage was fully
equal to his physical. Once, when the
officers of the staff complained to Napo-
con of their horses having been shot
by command of the surgeon-in- chief, he

presence.

he add another word to that mono
syllable.
For this reply his master created him
/ baron of the Empire.
At the frightful retreat from Moscow,
before the French could effect their
passage across the Beresina, the Rus
slams arrived in enormous force, and
began to fire upon the mob of soldiers
who were struggling to cross the bridge.
In this immense disaster, Larrey, after
having crossed over with the Imperial
Guard, discovered that the medical
supplies had been left behind.
With equal humanity and heroismt
he recrossed the stream; but NJ sooner
was he recognized by the soldiers than
he was carried, with astonishing rapid
ity, in their arms across the river, the
men crying, "Let II a V him who
saved us!"
The name of this noble man is en-
graved on the stone of the Arc dc
Triomphe with those of the illustriouS
soldiers of the Republic and the EN-
pire, and his statue stands in the Court
Of Honor in the military hospital OF the

Icount my treasures DER with care
The little toy THAT baby know
A little sock Of f3ded hue
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time.
NY little one-my all to me-
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
s'Tell me, my little golden-head,
If Santa Claus should como tonight.
What shall he bring my baby bright
What treasures for my bOy?" | said
And then he named the little toy,
While in his honest, mournfuI eyes
There came a look of swee. surprise
That spoke his quiet, trustful joy.
And as he lisped his evening prs7'r
lie asked the boon with childish grace:
Then, toddling to the chimney-place,
he hung his little stocking there.
That night, as length'ning shadows crept.
1 saw the white-winged angels come
With heavenly music to our home
And kiss my darling as he slept
Thcy must have heard his baby pray'r.
For in the morn, with smiling face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmasti1e-
That angel host, so fair and white
And, singing all the Christmas night,
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock-a little toy
A little lock Of golden hair
The Christmas music on the air
A watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head came back for me,
To bear me to eternity,
My watching will not be in vain.

LIE in the Manitoba yNnnds.

Winnipeg Times.
The loggers were hurrying into the woods.
One of them tells reporter the story of 4 log
gers day. He says: The first thing to be done
in the fall is the building of a shanty which is
generally constructed of logs, rooted with luni-
Der. This is filled up inside with hunks for
sleeping purposes, in which hemlock or spruce
brush is commonly used as bedding. The chinks
between the logs are packed with moss and
chips, and the shanty is heated by means Of
what is called caboose or open fireplace. from
which the smoke makes is exit by an opening in
the roof The cooking is generally done by
man, who is often paid the highest wages in the
camp The fare consists of barrel or rattle
snake pork beans, potatoes. dried apples, and
such game as the mon find in the
woods. A shantyman doesn't get much
time to loaf around the house. Every morning
two hours before daylight the foreman's Hurrah
boys is heard, and few minutes after the whoo
shanty is alive. Some are greasing boots, fixing
helves and grinding axes. while others are per-
forming their additions and running their fingers
through their hair as sort of apology for comb
ing. Breakfast over the different gangs set out
to the scene of their work which in some cases is
from four to five miles from this shanty, and as
work is always commenced by daylight you can
easily see we have no chance to be late risers.
The men work all day, merely resting to devour
their dinner. which is generally eaten frozen or
half thawed by the side of a log fire About dusk
a start is made for the shanty, which is reached
long after dark. Supper eaten, the weary men
bunk in and are soon asleep"

The fingers that on greatness CLUTCH

I trace the varying chart of years;

The weight Of Atlas-and the tears.
Lo as gaze the statured man,
Built up from yon large hand, appears;
A type that Nature wills to plan
But one in all a peoples years.

To tell of such one as he,
Since through its living semblance passed
The thought that babe race be free!

The bitter winds of winter
Are bowling DER the earth;
The snow slides from the roof-top,

And when the days are coolest,

And steal his neighbours fence.
And he takes it in his cellar
And then with all his strength
He chops it up-he chops it up
Into the proper length
To fit his kitchen stove.

And murmurs, well by Jove!'
