struggled with Greek roots and Latin

ton being supported BY denominational
contributions. There were the usual
winter revivals, when it was the extreme
effort to bring in all the new students as
converts. Corwin Wasswept in with the

One of the fathers Of the church went
to him to counsel him and In the course
of their conference wanted TO know why
Corwin had fallen from grace. CorWin
had 81 enormous mouth, which when it
was opened was as hinge in its way as an

Hsh speas.Sna b., the Indians.

The Piute Indians of Nevada do not
depend wholly OF the hook and line for
a supply of fish. AT times, when the
trout do not. readily take the
bait, they resort to spears. Most of the
spearing is done in the two mouths of
the Truckee, that branch emptying into
Mud Lake being most frequented by
those engaged in taking fish in this
manner.
The spears used by the Indians are of
peculiar construction. Into the end of
a pole or shaft, from twelve to fifteen
feet in length, is inserted a piece of iron
OF steel wire, about as thick as an ordi-
nary lead pencil, and about ten inches
long. The end of this wire is made
quite sharp. Another piece of wire
about two inches long forms the barb.
One end of this short piece Of wire is
made very sharp. Tt is then laid upon
the points of the long wire and tightly
dashed with a piece of pitched Irvine. In
the centre of the piece of short wire is
fastened a string over a foot in length
which is made fast to the shaft of the
spear.
When a fish is struck the point of the
spear passes entirely through its body.
In Withdrawing it the short wire or barb
pulls off, and, turning crosswise, the
fish is securely fastened and hangs dang
ling to the handle of the spear. The
stiff, tarred string forms a loop into
which the point of the longer wire is
again inserted when the spear is to be
thrown at another fish. Before the
whites came among them, the Indians
made these spears of bone. Their hooks
were merely pieces of bone, about two
inches long, made sharp at one end.
Within about half an inch of the sharp
est end the line was attached. The bait
was striped over both hook and line.
BY twich of the line when the bait
was taken, the sharp point of the bone
entered the gullet of the fish, and, act
ing as a barb, held it fast.

Leopold IL, of Belgium, is tall and
slender, with strikingly elegant manners.
He wears q long beard, and his hair,
which is closely cut, is beginning to turn
gray. In spite of his delicate appearance
his health is extremely COOL. Indefati-
gably active, he is a better walker than
any of the officers accompanying him and
outstrips all his secretaries who assist him
in his work-room.
Leopold's days work at Castle Lacken,
which he has converted into one of the
most magnificent royal residences in Eu

fasts heartily and scans the daily papers.
While reading the papers the King gives
his orders for the day to his adjutant and
looks over the bill of fare, which is q
rather sumptuous one, consisting of some
thirty courses. Time permitting, Leo
pold then takes a long walk in the park,
after which he settles down to work in
his study. Every day the King, who is
always in uniform, goes to Brussels,
where he gives audiences at his residence
or the adjoining gardens. Access into
the Kings presence being easily obtain.
ed, these audiences are very numerous.
Work is again resumed for some hours,
and then after a dinner with his family
the rest of the evening is spent in read.
ing newspapers and new books. Neither
sport, nor music, % wine, nor smoking
is favored or ever INDUCED in by the
King. AT present he has developed 0
special taste for building and plantation,
the results of which are several large
public parks in different parts of Belgi,
nm and several country seats which are
marvels of architecture. Leopold speaks
German, English aud Flemish with
great fuency, and is of a very equal
temperament, although the only great
crisis in which his powers were tested
was the recent Congo question, in which
he, showed great diplomatic talent. Or

The WhaeAaN Reoiew Gondona has
been told on good authority that this is
Mr.. Gladstone's method of preparing his
speeches. He keeps a box into which he
is in the habit of throwing cuttings from
newspapers and other memoranda of
facts bearing upon the subject in hand.
On the morning of the day preceding
any gaeat Grafton, he goes through his
box and picks out his notes on the par.
ticular facts which he wishes to use,
These he gums in their order upon q
large sheet Of paper, and uses them as
the posts upon which the speech itself is
to be hung. Then he imagines himself
to be actually speaking-eomposes his
Grafton, in fact, in his head. After he is
satisfied with it he dismisses the subject
from his mind, and occupies himself
until the hour for speaking comes in
reading a novel; His memory is so great
that his previously composed sentences
come back to him without effect.

PEARLS OF

When you are well off, keep as you
are.
He who begins and does not finish
loses his labor.
To reason with the angry is like whis-
pering to the deaf.
When a man speaks the truth you may
count pretty surely that he possesses
most other virtues.
Happiness is often at u side, and we
pass her by. Misfortune is afar off, and
we rush to meet her.
Pleasures make folks acquainted with
each other, but it takes trials and griefs
to make them know each other.
All nations have agreed in the neces-
sity of a strict education which consists
in the observation of moral duties.
The mer of great men is not under
stood but by those who are formed to be
such; genius speaks only to genius.
If a person mistakes notoriety for
fame, there is hardly any extravaganza
or absurdity into which he may not be
led.
Put it out of the power of truth to
give you an ill character, and if anybody
reports you not to be an honest man let
your practice give him the lie.
Lies real heroes and heroines are
those who bear their own burdens brave

around them. They live lives of humble

NeCdda's Stone Thoughts and Indian
AFsTFo

Neuada's Stone Troughs and Indian
Mills.
What are called the ''stone troughs''
are found in coming up the Truckee
River, Nevada, from the lakes and are
a natural formation of a sort of lime
stone. They are often seen ten feet long,
four or five feet wide, and several inches
deep, with the sides two or three inches
in thickness, according to size-the
small ones thinnest. They are shaped
like the sheet iron pans used in stoves
for baking bread, are quite hard, and
ring like a piece of pottery when struck.
All are found filled with. sand.
Down about the lake in the valley are
found many stone troughs of a different
kind. These are undoubtedly artificial,
and were made by the Indians to be used
in grinding grass seeds. Some of these
look as if they had been in use for hun
dreds of years. A few of the smaller
n e are portable, but the majority have
been formed in huge fragments or solid
lodges of porphyry or granite, just as
the Digger Indians of California make
mortars in granite reefs in whichto pound
their acorns. Here, however, the seeds
are ground into flour by being rubbed,
not beaten, as are the acorns; therefore,
instead of the cavity in the rock being
a round post hole, it is a long, shallow,
trough-shaped cavity. Some of these
grinding-trcughs are several feet long,
and near them are found the stones used
in grinding. They are large and heavy.
and appear to have been pushed back
and forth by persons seated at opposite
ends of the troughs, by means of a stout
pole lashed to them in such a way as to
form two handles.
A few portable mills are found. They
are of two kinds. One has a cavity
which is perfectly round, and the muller
used in grinding is as round as a cannon
ball. Those. of the other style are oblong,
and have a muller or grinding stone of
about the size and shape of an old-fash-
oned smoothing iron. These mills were
used in former times. Since the Piutes
have made the acquaintance of the white
