Insolence Not High Breeding.

Boston Courier
The late Professor Morren related once 10
our hearing, rehuke which he gave to high
strung Beacon Hill damsel. which is worth re-
peating for the moral it carries. The young lady
was one of his pupils and made herself particu-
larly obnoxious by her naughty and even snso-
lent bearing. displaying her contempt for Ell
about her so markedly that it became at last uss
bearable
II knew her mother in France" said the pro-
fessor, whose broken English there is no need of
producing here, land she was most exquisitely
modest and unassuming woman. But the
daughter was so insolent that she had to have q
lesson; so I said TO her, Will you be so good as
to remain after the lesson2 have something to
tell you' She stays. and in her hauGhtiest man
ner she says: You wish to speak to meP

"'You think, mademoiselle.' said, softening

proof could not sink into the hearts of many

asserting the loftiness of her social position by
an insolenee which only proves that she is not
sufficiently sure of her standing to cease to be
troubled about it, 1t takes q good many generS
atoms to set socially so high that one does not
need to eondescend to any human being.

STATEMENT,

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life As.

2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and a surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death
3d-Thc premiums on a 1ontine po-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
able in the event of death, the holder Of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of

7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-fOrfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.

Care of the Ears.

Picking the ears is a most mis-
chievous practice; III attempting to do
this with hard substances an unlucy
motion has many time pierced the
drum and made it as useless as burst
rubber life preserver nothing shar-
per or harder than the end of the lit
finger, with the nail pared, ought ever
to be introduced into the ear, unless
by a physician. Persons are often
seen endeavoringt to remove the ''wax"
of the ear with the head of apin; this
ought never to be done; first, because
it not only endangers the rupture of
the ear by being pushed too far in,
but if not so far, it may CRATE against
the drum, excite Inflammation, pro-
duce an ulcer which may finally eat
all the parts away; second hard sub
stance have often slipped in, and
caused the necessity of painful, dan
gerous and expensive operations ;
third, the wax is manufactured by
nature to guard the entrance from
dust, insects and unmodified cold
air, and when it has subserved its
purpose it becomes dry, scaly and
light, and in this condition is easily
pushed outside by new formations
within.-PhrenolOgical Journal.

One of the features of mission work
in japan is the opposition encoun-
tered from a society organized three
years ago to prevent the spread OF
Christianity. This society has been
very active, especially in the northern
part of the island, in enrolling per-
sons and families who are willing to
promise not only that they will never
accept Christianity, but that they will
do all they can to prevent others from
accepting it. In some towns nearly
everybody has been so pledged. The
missionary is made to feel its infu-
ence in many ways. Sometimes he
finds he cannot rent house or secure
preaching place. The society otter
gives much trouble by interfering with
Christian burial.

By MRS. e v. WILTON.
Beneath the hot midsummer suu
The men had marched all day;
And now beside ripping stream
Upon the grass they lay.
Tiring of games and idle jests,
As swept the hours along,
They called to one who unused apart,
Come, friend, give us n song"
I" I fear cannot please" he said;
"The only songs know
Are those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago"
" Sing one of those" rough voice cried,
"There's none but true men here;
To every Mothers son of US
A mothers songs are dear"
Then swee:ly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
.'Am a soldier of the Cross,
A follower of the lamb7
And shall I fear to own his cause
The very stream was stilled,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were filled
Ended the song; the singer said,
And to his feet he rose,
"Thanks to you all. my friends; good night
God grant us sweet repose."
"Sing us one more" the captain begged;
The soldier bent his head,
Then glancing round, with smiling lips,
you'll join with me-" he said.
Gwen sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as the bugle call,
'All hail the power of Jesus namei
Let angels PROSTATE fall"
All! wondrous was the old tunes spell
As on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line
And loud the voices rang.
The songs are done. the camp is still,
Naught but the stream is heard;
But ah! the depths of every soul
By those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many a bearded lip,
In whispers soft and low,
Rises the prayer the mother taught
The boy long years ago.

His Mothes's Song.

BY MRS. E. v. WILTON.
The Red Cloud chief., 1886-01-15

RErUBLICANs We're reported becom-
ing troublesome in the South of Spain.
A band of revolutionists recently tried
to destroy the railway bridge in the
Cordenas Pass of the Sierra Moreno
Mountains which separates La Mancoa
from Andalusia. Fortunately. the
wreckers were discovered while they
were at work and five of them arrested.
They had cut through the underpinning
of the bridge, and the next train which
attempted to cross would have been
wrecked. As it was, the damage a
repaired just in time to save a heavily
loaded passenger train from the North.
This train contained a number of
Southern members of the Cortes. who
were returning from Madrid. 1t is
supposed the outrage was attempted
with the object of killing these Senators
and Deputies, most of whom are Royal
lists. At Ciudad Real. a few miles
north of the scene of this outrage. a
number of persons are said TO be inn
prisoned On suspicion of conspiring to
make q revolutionary rising.
