SIR DAVID BREWSTER.

Sir David Brewster's favorite
study, the science of light, exercised
an influence upon his mind on all
occasions. When he visited Italy
he recorded particularly the curious
reflections and optical illusions he
observed in some of the churches
and picture galleries. Wherever he
travelled optics and light were the
special objects of his observation
and remark.
He dwelt, even at the last, on the
spiritual symbolisms of his beloved
science. Just before his death he
exclaimed with much animation to
his friend, Sir James Simpson, who
expressed a hope that he might yet
rally: why, Sir James, should you
hope that? The machine has work
ed for above eighty years, and it is
worn out. Life has been very bright
to me, and now there is the bright
ness beyondr'
His very last words were of light.
On his remarking, with a most hap
py look, II shall see Jesus, and that
will be grandr some one by his
bedside replied, Il wish all learned
men had your simple faith" After
a pause Sir David reioined, Eyes, l
have had the light for many years,
and oh, how bright it is. / feel so
safe, so satisfied
This was his departing and final
utterance. A few moments more
and he had realized show bright
were the realms Of light, bursting at
once upon the sight"
His body lies in Melrose cathe
dral yard, near a sculptured window
of the old abbey, and on 1t is in
scribed in large letters, "The Lord
is my Light" 81

TWO WAYS OF DONG ATHING

- "A vi A.
An express train hlled Vith list,
less, sleepylb looking pa ssengeFs stood
nthe Pennsylvania railroad Station
at Jersey City the other day, on the
moment of departure for Philadel
phia. The locomotive had backed
up the cars, and poured a volume Of
thick smoke into the hot sitting
atmosphere of the station. The
travellers lolled in their seats, look
ing though they dreaded the dis
comforts or the long, dusty ride,
but yet were impatient to be whirl-
ing along through the open country,
away from the smoke, the smell, and
the noise. A slow,moving, surly-
looking boy OF fourteen or therea-
bouts passed through the train,
calling out "Fa-a-a-ns, five cents"
He spoke in a dreary, disconso-
late tone, which made the people
feel more tired and languid than
ever. He went from the smoking
car to the rear of the train, and sold
just two fans.
A colored boy about the same age
followed Immediately after him,
with big armful of new bamboo
fans. The difference in the two lads
was striking. The darkey had a
CHEEKY, business-l like way with him
which appealed directly to the com
fort and to the pockets of the perspir-
ing passengers. In a peculiar boy
ish voice, as mellow as flute, he
called out, keep yo'selves cool,
now. ladies an gemmen ! C-o-ney
Island breezes A big fan only five
cents Zephyrs from de pillows !!
Bny 'em while you can p
The effect was like drGught OF
cool air. Everybody at once want
ed fan. The darkey was as much
in demand as the newsbov on an
early train from the suburbs. Peo-
pie left their seats to avoid missing
a fan. In two cars the boy sold six
ty-seven. He could have sold as
many more if had had them. He
jumped off the platform as the train
moved from the station with his
pocket full of change and his heart
full of JOY. "Hurrah - he shouted; ,
dat was quick business !" The
other boy stared in stupid astonish-
ment, and wondered how it was
done.

WHICH is THE MOTHER



You have all heard of the iudg-
ment Of Solomon, what he did when
two mothers claimed the same baby.
Curiously enough, the same idea
seems to have suggested itself to a
Chinese mind in similar dilemma.
This is the story:
Two women came before a manda-
rim in China, each of them protest
Ing that she was the mother of a lit
tie child they had brought with
them. They were so eager and SO
positive that the mandarin was sore
ly puzzled. He retired to consult
with his wife, who was wise and
clever woman, whose opinion was
held in great repute in the neighbor-
hood She requested five minutes
in which to deliberate. At the end
of that time she spoke.
'sLet the servants catch me alarge
fish in the river she commanded
"and let it be brought me here
alive" a
This was done.
Bring me now the infant" she
said; "but leave the women in the
outer chamber"
This was done, too. The manda-
rims wife caused the baby to be UNI
dressed, and its clothes put on the
large fish.
Garry the creature outside now,
aud throw it into the river in the
sight of the two women"
The servant obeyed her orders,
finging the fish into the water,
where it rolled about and struggled,
dlsgusted, no doubt, by the wrap
pings in which it was swaddled.
Without moments pause one OF
the mothers threw herself into the
river with shrek. She'lnust save
her drowning child. ~
s"Without, doubt she is the true
mother" she declared and the
mandarin's wife commanded that
she should be rescued, and the child
given to her.
Without a doubt, she is the true
neither" she declared. And the
mandarin nodded his head, and
thought his wife the wisest woman
in the 'Flowery Kingdom"
Meantime the false mother -crept
away. She was found out in hel
'imposture !; and, the mandarin's
wife forgot about her in the occu'
patton of dressing the little baby in
the best silks she could find in hel
wardrobe.

A man in New York last Monday
night went into cigar store and
insisted that the wooden female fig
ure in front of the shop was his
wife. He was arrested for drunken
ness, and bailed out next morning.
His real wife. who secured him on
his release, expressed her intention
of showing him when she got him
home that there was some difference
between herself and a wooden Indi-
an, if it broke every broomstick in

FOR MEN WHO OWN HORSES

Never wash a horse with cold wa
ter when he is heated.
On the farm dispense with shoes
unless the land is very rocky.
Feed your horse regularly three
times daily, but never over-feed.
Water before feeding, but not
while the horse is hot from work.
Use the whip very little, and new
er when the animal SHES or STUN
bles.
Never leave. horse standing I'M
hitched. 1t is the way to make
them runaways.
Do not storm and fret. Be quiet
and kind, and the horse will he so
too, in most cases.
Give the horse large stall and a
good bed at night. 1t is important
that he lie down To rest.
If horse is vicious and unman.
ageable at your business, sell it to
some one that can control him.
Hay or other ground feed is indis-
pensable, and ground corn or homi-
nv is better than whole corn.
A cotton-card is one of the best
instruments for grooming horse.
1t cleans better than the comb.
Do not expect your horse to be
equally good at everything. The
horse, like the man, must be adapt
ed to his work.
Near the close Of journey let the
horse walk. If covered with sweat
rub off with rag, to prevent too
sudden cooling. fT ~
Collar gals and bruises are bene-
fitted by washing with salt water.
Wash shoulders daily when using
the horse. Brine is good also for
stiff joints.
When flies are bad, wash the horse
all over lightly with a weak solution
of carbolic acid. If you have not
the acid, apply surgeons oil on
the TANKS, neck and tender parts.

payments made on Russian account in Germany
till roubles rise to- the normal value. The
Novosti, in similar strain, concludes:
1--WE must tell Germany that she
must either raise the price of
roubles or expect war" German bankers treat
this nonsense with contempt They trace the
fall in roubles to the embarrassed internal
finances of Russia, the decline in revenues and
the increase 10 expenses is creating alarm among
Russias creditors. No bearing movement ex-
lists on the Berlin bourse against Russi an Sc
curities, but fear has seized upon general in
vestors. especially since NJ. Vishnigradsky, the
Russian Finance Minister, called meeting of
delegates from the exchanges of St. Petersburg,
Moscow, Odessa and other centers TO discuss
proposal to permit commercial
contracts to be made on the basis
of foreign metallic currences instead of the de-
preciated rouble. The proposal is suspected,
probably unjustly to be a step toward repudia-
ton, and it undoubtedly discloses the desperate
condition of Russian finances. Bankers ex-
pect further collapse of Russian securities.
and are directing their attention toward the
purchase of Italian securities argulng that
closer commercial relations between Italy and
Germany will arise out of the political alliance
between those countries, and that there will be

newsd their efforts to raise loan of SOC. 600 900
roubles at a nominal rate in Amsterdam. London
and Paris. The loan. il secured. viii accelerate
war, but If refused, will not prevent it
The relations of Russia with tho allied powers
are taking developments exactly as was fore
casted in these dispatches The diplomatic pro-
posais of Russia have resulted in nothing
definite. What Is definite, however, is the
frantic eagerness of Russia TO obtain a war loan
and her ceaseless preparations for war. The
discomfort among the commercial class in
Russia and tho fall in the value
of paper roubles will weaken the Cars
control of affairs, and lead him to a complete
submission to the war party, who offer him the
alternative of facing the revolutionary party.
The revolutionary organ, Svobodai, declares
that war rapidly approaches. and predicts the
conquest and ruin of Russia. and the submission
of the Gar is replaced By free national man
agement of public affairs. However much he
may be averse to war, the internal dseords of
Russia viii soon force the Gar 10 risk the
