THREE TENSES.

81 win trust" So we say when we doubt, with
uncertain feet cropping
In dark, slippery paths, dirnly shown by faint
stars overhead
When our hearts anchor drags in the sand, and
we blend fear and hoping
In 3 passionate prayer for the fral bark by
tempest bested-
wbsn friends face averted strikes cold to the
core of our loving;
When we lay. lance in rest, 'gainst, perchance,
an invincible foe,
What is our best TO say, II will trust, " by the
promise disproving
Our force to fulfill, and forecasting future we
can never know?
81 trusted" The words are g threnody, cease
less, undying,
The requiem of hopes and OF holiness earth
could not hold.
They speak of defeat in the lists, of the wall un-
derlying,
The pRan, the vow that is broken, the tale that
is told
When the cup has been spilled at the lips, when
the coveted blessing
Has slipped from the grasp when the prayer
rises feeby and slow,
Looking back on the shame and the loss, all the
failure confessing,
81 trusted, - we falter, recording past that all
mortals must know.
III,
But Il trust!" When we breathe it and lean with
the strength of our being
On the truth Of the solemn-lit star, plant our
foot on the rock,
When we close lip on lip in a blindness Of faith
worth all seeing,
And with comrade strike palm in clasp that
doubt can unlock
What needs more? We have climbed TO the sum
init, have tasted the glory
Given once, and but once In the power Of fate
to bestow.
Break the cup that hath held the rich draught-
shut the book while the story
Still throbs with bliss and a grandeur that
only one present may know.

A Skillful JuCgler.

NJ. Robert Hudin, in his delightful autobiog-
raphy, tells us that when he had determined
to become conjurer he began by learning to
juggle as a preliminary training for his eye
and his hand. He was instructed in, the art
by "pedicure" named Maous, who taught
him in a month to keep four balls in the air
at the same time. Then the future master Of
magic, desiring to acquire the faculty Of
sdoing two things at once-a faculty of inesti-
mable value to the modern magician-im-
proved on his teachers instructions by train
ing himself to read while juggling. II placed
a book before me, he records, 'and while my
four balls were dancing in the air accus-
toned myself to reading it without hesita-
tion." Thirty years later, when he sat down
to write his memoirs, he found that although
he had never performed this feat in public,
and very rarely had repeated it in private,
he was still able to read while juggling, but
that he could then only keep three balls in
the air, and not four, as he had done formerly.
This is additional evidence, were any needed,
that although dexterity acquired early in
life may diminish with the advancing years
and an abandonment of constant practice, 1t
is rarely lost altogether.-Saturday Review.

BAD AMERICANS IN JAPAN.
How They Compare With the Britons.
Habits of Drinking.

How They Compare With the Britons.
Habits of Drinking.
Here in Japan, as elsewhere all over the
east, you will often meet Americans who re-
dect but little credit upon their nationality.
You see tipsy, ,illmannered fellow about your
hotel in the forenoon, and are told that he is
an American. Further inquiry will probably
elicit the fact that drunkenness is regarded
by the natives as peculiarly an American. vice,
and yet it is probably true, as is often as
serted, that the American really drinks less
than the Briton. But he drinks more reck-
lessly, pays less attention to the laws of
health, is less regular in his habits, is more
nervous and excitable, and as a consequence
breaks down sooner.
The Briton, though a hard drinker and a
great smoker, never drinks or smokes in the
morning. Nothing can induce him to take
brandy cocktail before breakfast, nor light
his pipe before tiffin He will not begin his
dissipation and small vices until after busi-
ness hours. He then 'lays himself out" to see
how much brandy and beer he can consume,
and how many pipes he can smoke. At
dinner he will drink two or three glasses Of
sherry and finish large bottle of claret. Be-
tween dessert and bed time he will probably
take a half dozen "brandies." OF course he
usually goes to bed tipsy, though not upon an
empty stomach; and so by next morning he
has slept off, had his bath, and is ready for
the regular routine of business.
The American, on the other hand, calls for
his cocktail before he is fairly out of bed, and
between that and breakfast has probably
swallowed two or three others, each supple
mented by a mean cigar. After breakfast he
smokes another cigar, and between II and 12
be has probably taken as many as three
"brandy cocktails" and smoked half dozen
cigars. The result is that, although not quite
drunk enough reel through the streets he can
hardly be considered quite sober at any time
between 9 in the morning and in the after
noon. By o'clock dinner he is too tipsy and
nervous and irritable to eat square meal,
and will load his stomach with brandy before
going to bed. In due time he is threatened
with delirium tremens, and in few months
more is either dead or drunken sot At
home he may have been man of exemplary
character, but out here he seems to have
abandoned all restraint and sought the short
est and quickest route to perdition.-Cor.

A PEANUT VENDER TALKS.

How the Nut Should be Prepared and
When it Should be Eaten.
"There is big difference in peanuts, n said
corner vender the other day. %Some nuts
are large and look very fine, but they are
tasteless. No matter how carefully they are
prepared and how nicely they are roasted,
they are still lacking in all the essentials Of a
good nut. They are grown on soil that is de-
icient in some important respects.
"A good roaster, like good cook or good
poet, must be born with certain qualifica-
ton that cannot be acquired by education
Some dealers roast their nuts too much, others
roast them too little. 1t they are roasted too
much the oil is destroyed, and nut has
good deal of oil in it. If they are not roasted
enough, or if they are roasted over a slow
fire, the oil is not properly brought out, and
they are not good; in fact they have a disa-
greeable taste
"Some dealers steam them, but that process
spoils the good flavor of the nut. Most of the
nuts now sold come from Virginia. The
eastern shore nuts are the best. Patrons of
the peanut often complain that they find the
kernels of the nut soft and flexible instead of
being brittle; that is because they have been
too long roasted.
should eat it half an hour after it has been
roasted. They are good for one day, and
then they become stale. Some people like
them hot, but they are bad for the teeth;
besides, they have not acquired their proper
taste. People who are inclined to be dyspep-
tic should not eat many; it would be better
if they didn't eat them at ALL Properly
roasted peanuts are healthy for healthy peo-
pie. An ordinary peanut eater eats one a
minute, which is too fast
Eyes, sell good many to ladies, but they
don't eat them on the street like men do. In
fact, a really refined person don't eat them as
he walks along the street Newsboys and
bootblacks and roughs do that. If man has
been drinking liquor and don't wish to have
the odor of it on his breath he cannot do bet
ter than eat peanuts afterward. 1t is better
than eating mint, candy or cloves. Those
things give him away. When you smell
cloves or mint on mans breath you at once
suspect him n-Philadelphia Press

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. By the
advice of physician 1 commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely
Cured
Ny eyes are now in a splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. ii.
For number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until 1 commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and
believe it to be the best of blood purf-
fiers. E. Upton, Nashua, n. 81.
From childhood, and until with few
months, I have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. 1 have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. Mrs. c. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for a year with infamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infiamma-
