FRIENDS People who have friends
ar healthier and happier than those
who have none. A single real friend
is a treasure worth more than gold or
precious stones. Money can but many
things good and evil, All the wealth

the loss of one. 81 have oRly wanted
one thing to make me happy" Ilaz'ilt

weqkest OF sprcndthriits if we let one
friend drop off through mattention. or
let one push away another; or if we
hold aloof from one for pretty jealousy
or needless sights or roughness.

WHO BlDEs HIS TIME.

Who bides his time day by day
Faces defeat full patiently,
And lifts mirthful roundelay,
However poor his fortune be
He will not fall in any qualm
Ofpoverty-the paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet
OfhOney in the safest tear;
And though he fares with slowest feet,
Joy runs to meet him drawing near;
The birds are heralds ofhis cause.
And like a never ending rhyme,
The roadside blooms In his applause,
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time, and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves,
Shall wear cool wreathed laurel. wrought
With crimson berries In the leaves.
And he shall reign goodly king,
Aud sway his hand DER every cline
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

TIE LAND OF PROMISE.

There Is a sunny land that lies
Within the ken of youthful eyes
A fairy land, surprising far
All earthly homes n scenes that are,
Whose fields are gay, whose skies are bright
With something of divine delight.
No foot of man was ever yet
Within this fair enclosure set,
No heart with heavy loads opprest
Beneath its pleasant palms may rest;
No lips nave known the luscious taste
OF its fair fruits hat grow to waste.
Yet theyspshose life is new begun
Start bravely with the morning sun;
Adown the smiling glades they pass;
Their hight feet spurn the dewy grass
As OF they go, a joyous band,
reach this earthly Eden-land.
But, ali, my heart will fail me yet
So sad, so weak. is vain regret
To tell of tempest-darkened skies,
OF rains that beat, and mists that rise,
Till, in the slight of common day"
Our fond illusions fade awayl
Though some have reached, with hearts
elate,
The shelter of that shining gate
Have looked upon the golden strand,
The boundary of that lovely land,
Rejoicing, "This is mine to VIM
Yet none have ever passed within.
God only knoweth how or why
The gates swing to, the rose-tints die,
And we, with hearts that ache in vain,
Pass by the land we longed to gain;
Yet ever hes this paradise
Within the reach of youthful eyes.

Brushes

The vegetable kingdom is largely
drawn upon for brush material. To
say nothing of breoms, there is a grass
called Tampico, from the place of It's
exploration, that is used In the making
of hand scrubbing brushes. 1t is a
round fibre of light straw color, quite
tough and elastic and possesses the n
usual quality of retaining its rightly
however much soaked it may be in wa
ter.
Flattened steel wire, with the temper
in, is used for hue-cleaning brushes
and for street and stable use. These
are so coarse and rigid that they would
be better designated as scrapers. But
there is a wire brush that is the very
opposite of these. 1t is made of steel
or brass wire that is Sc very fine that it
goes quite beyond the finest gauge
made in this country, 1t goes TO what
is known as forty-four English gauge.
Brushes made from this are employed
in the production of a peculiar finish
on silver. When silver is used in plate,
whether it is solid or an external de-
post, it is not often compressed or
hardened by any mechanical means,
except when it is FURNISHED to make a
polish. The 'satih finish" Of plate or
silv6a ornaments. so much admired of
late years, is produced by these brushes
of fine steel and brass wire. The
brus'.' g are rotary and are run at a
high velocity. The effect of their ac-
ton on the soft surface Of silver is to
raise the particles Sc that they will not
reflect the light as a polished surface
will, bnt give a soft, yelyety, retroactive
light to the eye. This elegant effect is
produced by the soft wire brushes that
feel under the hand almost like cylin-
dersOf down.
The common way Of fastening bris-
ties and hairs and Tampico grass in
brushes is with common pitch, which
is kept hot at a convenient bench, and
is kept fluid by the admixture of a lit
tie tallow. The workman grasps
from a bunch or pile of bristles a few
in his fingers, doubles them yer at the
middle, winds a bit of fine twlne about
the butt or bend, dips that end In the
hot pitch, and presses the bunch in a
hole in the wooden back of the brush
to be. But a better process is wiring
or twining; in either ase the Topped
brush being held by a wire o Irvine
that passes through a small hole in the
back of the larger hole that receives the
the bristles. Bat as all these wires or
strings are seen on the back of the
they must be covered by a false
back for nice work. The writer has a
specimen with a solid back that was
made more than fifteen years ago. In
this the bristles, doubled were led by a
wine staple into the holes, and the ends
of the staple being crossed by a die, the
wire was forced into the wood by a
llunger, and really locked in the solid
material. The brush has been in con.
use during these years, and IS ''as
good as new"

Rus Ian Nobility,

Among the Russian nobility of the
great Peters own creations may, In
particular, be mentioned the Menschi
koffs, the ~Souvaroffs, and tile OrlOffs
The first of the Menschikoffs was q
pastry-cOok's boy at Moscow. in Peters
reign: but he enlisted in the army, o s
to the rank of General, and rendered
important services to his country.
Scribe and Meyerbeer introduced him
as one Of the leading pers0nages in
L'Et0ile d. N0rd. But the family
objected, to their ancestors being
shown as a pieman with a tenor voice
Offering his pies for sale on the public
stage, and the Menschikoff of the orig.
inal cast now figures as DanilOvitch.
The first of the SOuvaroffs was the SOB
Of a priest in the confidence Of Sophia,
Peter the Greats sister. He enlisted
rs a soldier, and became a General
His son, the greatest commander Rus.
STA has known, was made Count after
the battle of RymnIk, and Prince afteI
the Italian campaign of 1899. The
Orloffs, so powerful under the Empress
Catherine, were descended from a sol.
der, who, having taken part in the in.
surrectiOn of Strelitzes or Archers, had
been sentenced to death; and was about
to be decapltated, when, by his fear.
less bearing and the energetic manner
in which he kicked aside the fallen
heads that intercepted his progress
towards the block, he attracted the at.
tention of Peter, who at once perceived
that more could be done with such a
man living than dead. Orlott was put
into the army, where he greatly dis
tinguished himself, and his descendants
have held the highest posts in the Rus
sian service, even to this day.
After the Incorporation of Georgia in
the Russian Empire at the beginning OF
the present century several Georgian
families had titles conferred upon them,
or rather their own titles confirmed.
Eminent among these are the Bagra-
tons, descended fron the Cars of
Georgia and the Dadianoff, sprung
from the royal house of Mingrelia.
The first of the BenDingsens was a
H~anoverian, who entered the Russian
service under the Empress Catharine,
and was soon sufficiently Russianized to
be allowed to take part in the assassi-
nation of the Emperor Paul: which did
not prevent him from attaining the
rank of full General under the reign of
Paul's son and successor, Alexander ].
Kleinmichel, II of the Nicholas most
influential Ministers, was the son of a
Finnish peasant who enlisted in the
army and became a General. The only
Prince created by Nicholas was Pas
kIevitch, who, made Count Of Eriyan
for his Persian campaign, was named
Prince of Warsaw after the suppression
of the Polish insurrection of 1880.
The number of titled families in Rus
STA is by 10 means large. But. as every
member of the family bears the title,
the number of titled personages is i'm
mense. 1t is, perhaps, needless to add
that a title in Russia possesses no po-
lltlcal value or significance. But that
it counts for something, especially
when it is associated with large pos
sessions, is shown by the recurrence of
many of the same names for centuries
past in Russian history

noou Gin

In one of your late issues l see a publ
cation of the coming St. Croix Christmas
Races.
The inhabitants of this island look to
these races as a source of pleasure, al
though lottery-like, the number of those
who get much enjoyment is small There
is a case still in remembrance of a man
"a lab0urer) who went to LOngpOint on a
race-day with his horse and cart and forty
five dollars in cash, and returned to his
family minus horse and cart and his hard
"FOrty and five" all lost by wager. Man
is a creature of wants, and his wants may
be classified under three heads, namely
Wealth, Honour and Pleasure. From the
first and second, the majority of the masses
are barred. The working man (althOugh
he works hardy cannot expect to get rich
Except he hit hard in a grand lottery price
And who hOnOurS the poor man besides his
children? Bat pleasure i'll one way or
other is attainable by all. Our great ones
whenever opportunity O%tfers) can gather
to see the actors performances &C.; the
ticket-price is suited to the rich. and cOnSe-
quently the poor man cannot avail himself
o that pleasure. Can no one think of giving
the poorer classes some means Of enjoy
ment compatible with the age, whereby
they may have a little pleasure at season
able times Something in lieu of the com
mon resorts for dances, generally places OF
drunkenness and sometimes murder; the
picnic too is but little better.
No one can be miserable and happy at
the same time, and when any means is EN-.
ployed to make happy and cOntented

the public good.

FOR ST. CROIX.

4. Interpolation to the Government
from 4th Member for Frederiksted's
Country District (Mc Donald), whether
a re.allOtment Of the public roads in
West End Quarter will be effected
this year.
4th Member for Frederik sted's Country
District Mcdonald stated his motives for
having interpellated the Government.
The Governor stated that a "eallOtment
could not now take place legally before the
expiration of 5 years, unless a new Draft
Of Ordinance to that effect bo introduced,
but in order to take such a step there
ought to be very important reasons to JUS
tify it, more important reasons certainly
than the present instance gave.
1t is admitted that the Member of the
Road Commission for West End Quarter
did not follow the rule in S II TO use the
help of the road inspectors in drawing up
the assignment of road work.
But after all the chief guarantee for the
public is not to be found in that rule, but
in the following one, "that the assignment
is to be placed for inspection of the inter
eSted parties during d certain time before
it is sanctioned, Ill order to enable them to
protest in time.
This was done and only two parties pro-
tested in time. Consequently there was
no occasion for the Road Commission or
for Government to believe that any great
error had been committed in the assign
ment, and as the road work of the two
parties, who protested, was allotted to
them under the sane rule as to all other
parties in West End Quarter, their protest
was not considered valid, and the assign
ment was sanctioned by Government.

An unusual kind of theft has recently
been committed OH the estate Negro Bay.
1t appears that a woman from the estate
Envy went over to Negro Bay and, unseen
by anyone, went into a cottage there and
stole a baby. The mother was, of course,
out, and on her return found, naturally to
her great distress, that her child was gone.
In the meanwhile the "Envy" woman, hav-
ing returned home, produced the stolen
baby to her neighbours, as her own new
born child. 1t did not, however, on this
occasion, require a Solomon to decide the
ownership; for the arrival OF the district
