You cannot dream yourself into char
acter; you must hammer and forge YOUR
self one.-Froude.
Life is reckoning we cannot make
twice over. You cannot mend wrong
subtraction by doing your addition right.
l don't see why politician may not be
one of the saints of God, if only anchored
to conscience, not to an ofice.-FIances
Willard.
Life is before you-not earthly life
alone, but life, a thread running intermin-
ably through the warp Of eternity-J. e.
Holland
All good is reciprocal; it is full of COM
pensation in return for its exercise You
cannot perform any act in the spirit of
kindness without awakening kindness in
Others, and bringing increased good to your
own hearty. s. Stadley.
Those who look not inward, but upward:
not at themselves, but at Christ and ali
spiritual perfection-they become more
and more painfully aware of their own
imperfections. The beauty of Christ's
character shows them the ugliness of their
own. His purity shows them their own
foulness, his love their own hardness, his
wisdom their own folly, his strength their
own wealness.-Caartes Kingsley.
We remember parable in which
preacher says: Look at this flute; it was
a piece of wood, what has made it flute?
The riffs, the holes in it." What life is
there through which affiiction does not
make some rift All went well till then.
but through that rift in the life came
thought and feeling. Doubt in us is ere
ated by some rift in our life, some loss
creating sense of grief, some question
of despair. 49," said the preacher we
heard, Il listened to flute one day,
complaining that it was spoiled by hav-
ing a number of holes bord in it. Once
it said, | was piece of wood, very beau
tiful to look upon; now / am spoiled by
all these riffs and holes and it said all
this mournfully and unsteady. 90, thou
foolish flute said, without these riffs
and holes thou wouldst only be mere
stick, bit of mere hard. black ebony,
soon to be thrown away. Those riffs
and holes have been the making of
thee; they have made thee into a flute;
they are thy life, thy character, thy mu-
sic and melody, and thou will not now be
cast aside with contempt, but touched by
even the fingers Of future generations
Thus sorrow in man should reveal to him
his capacity for supernatural refreshment
his hard and sterile being is made to re-
ceive divine airs which make it musical
in its sorrow."-Sanddy at Home.

The a1aerman ana the rurkev.

The skeleton Paganini was an appalling
glutton, being only beaten in that by Cam
baceres. Such men should be objects of
pity alone like the great Athenian chef,
Archetrastes, who ate enormously, and di-
gested with extraordinary rapidity. 1t
could not have been assimilated, for, ac-
cording to Polybius, he looked as if the
wind would blow him away, and one could
almost see daylight through him. There
is one dear old story that always comes up
in talk about great eaters; it has been
told of all sorts of guzzlers, from a city Al
derman to the Judge of Appeal at Avignon,
under the ancien regime "And then, sir,
we topped off with a gorgeous turkey, a
frst-chop bird-never tasted juicier-

Depopulating Iceland.

The total depopulation of Iceland APP
pears to be threatened. A scheme has
been set afoot in Manitoba to transport
thither the $4,000 Icelanders still remain
ing in their native country, together with
their focks and herds. This would be an
exodus as complete as was that of the chill
dren of Isarel from Egypt. There has been
steady flow of Icelandic emigration to
Canada for the last fifteen years, yet the
population is said to be still too large for
the resources of the island. The wiping
out of SO interesting people would be a
matter of universal regret; but Iceland,
although the conditions of life are hard,
will doubtless continue to have attractions
for substantial remnant, especially when
the superhuous population is drawn off,
Such, at least, is the opinion of the ST.
james Budget. The Icelanders settled in
Manitoba have grown SO numerous that
they are able to support several newspa-
pers printed in their own language The
colonies of Gimli, Thingvalla and New
Iceland are in a most Furnishing condi-
ton, and are already sending ofshoots into
other parts of the Canadian Northwest
under the auspices of the Icelandic So
ciety-New York Journal

Il Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other 1t is
probable tina. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their ravsges
they extend to the lungs, producing con
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrb Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat. lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Bosehees German Syrup.
II will give you immediate relief.

Vol An Yenfs

A vol au vent is difficult to make, bue
practice will soon teach any housekeepei-
who will be exact in following directions.
the art
Make puff paste and set on the ice all
night. Next morning roll out evenly an
inch thick, stamp the paste in the desired
shape, either round or oval, and with the
point of knife make incision all around
the top an inch from the edge; brush all
over with beaten egg. Put ON tin sheet
and set again on the ice until very cold.
then put in very hot oven and bake very
quickly, this being necessary TO insure
lightness, without which the vol an vent
is a failure. When done a nice brown.
carefully remove the piece marked with
the knife ana take out all the soft crumbs
from the center, being careful not TO break
the edges, then set back in The oven to dry.
When ready to serve fill with fricassee
chicken, canned oysters, canned Holsters,
ETC.. replace the lid and serve.
Sweet vol au vent of any kind of fresh
fruit may be made by preparing the cases
as directed. Have sufficient stewed fruit,
the syrup of which must be boiled down
until very thick fill the vol au vents with
1t, piling high in the center, powder with
q little sugar and set back In the oven,
when it is ready to serve. Any fresh fruit
may be used, such as rhubarb, oranges.
gooseberries, currents, cherries, apples or
peaches. Care must be taken not to have
the syrup too thin, or it will break through
the crust. Vol an vents of fresh strawber-
ries or raspberries, with whipped cream,
are very delicious. To make it, roll the
paste very thin, bake; when nearly done
brush over with the white of an egg,
sprinkle with white sugar and set back in
the oven to glaze. Remove the soft crumbs,
and when ready to serve, fill with the
fruit, which must be sweetened. Pile
whipped cream on top, and serve immedi-
ately. For extra occasions small vol au
vents may be made by cutting the paste in
small cakes or, better still, small patty
cases may be purchased ready made at the
confectioner's, reheated and filled in five
minutes with any delicate preparation
made at home.

SHALL We KNOW EACH OTHER THEEEs
When in silence we shall slumber,
And our sleep shall dreamless be:
When the angelsummons call US.
When our spirits shall be free;
When we seek home celestial,
Freed from worldly strife and care,
And loved friends are reunited,
Shall we know each other there?
Shall we wear crown of glory
And among the angels stand?
Shall we be among Gods chosen
In that glorious, happy land?
When we cross the flowing river
And that heavenly land so fair
Breaks upon our waking vision,
Shall we know each other there?
When we've closed our eyes forever
When we've said our last adieu
TO the friends we leave behind US
Friends we've loved with hearts so true,
Shall we greet them at their coming
To that spirit world so fair?
When in Heaven we re reunited
Shall we know each other there?
When we hear the angel voices
Chanting songs OF sweetest praise,
And the glory of Gods kingdom
Meets our deep, enraptured gaze;
When we've passed that heavenly portal.
Heaven itself will seem more fair.
II it is Gods viii and pleasure
That We shall know our loved ones there

Maryland,s "smartest Niger /,

The following story is told by gentle
man well acquainted with the parties
mentioned and who can vouch for its
authenticity: Each of two gentlemen,
who owned adjoining farms in one of the
counties, had colored laborer working on
his place. These men, who were named
Tom and Bob respectively, were very light
fingered and had the reputation of con-
verting to their Own special property any
thing they could carry from their neigh
bors. One day the two farmers met, and,
by chance the conversation turned upon
the stealing propensities of their respective
men. After some discussion one said ::
" / tell YOU Tom can steal more in a week
than your Bob can in month. He is the
smartest niger in the county"
"No, he can't" said the other gentle
man, emptying his mouth of huge guam
tity of tobacco. "There is no Niger in
Maryland who can beat Bob stealing. He
could take the buttons off city police
mans coat and the policeman wouldn't
know there was anybody with mile of
him." "Yes there is" exclaimed Toms
champion, excitedly "Why, my Tom
could steal stick of wood from under
your Bob and leave him sitting on the
bark" Bob's defender was vanquished,
and had to give it up, and it was week
or more before he recovered sufficiently to
proclaim again that he had the smartest
niger in Maryland. o-Baltimor Ners.

A Buffalo Hunt.

On rushed the herd, now thoroughly
frightened, and as we hurried on after
them we fairly shouted in triumph, as we
saw that right in front of them ran ra-
vine which we could see at point beyond,
was at least 40 feet deep. The ravines in
this ligh subsoil, torn out by the delug-
ing rains that occasionally fall on the
plains, were commonly broken off at the
edges just as steep as soil could hang, and
as the buffalo were sweeping on like tor
nado, with little time to look before they
leaped, felt sure that our hunt was ended,
the meat supply assured, and only regretted
the unnecessary slaughter sure to follow as
the fated herd plunged down the steep. /
would not have thanked any man to insure
us fifty head Of dead or crippled buffalo.
Over they went, 800 yards ahead of us,
and we slackened our pace to walk, and
began planning how to get the meat of the
slaughtered herd up the nearly perpen-
dicular walls of the ravine. When within
200 yards of the brink, to our amazement
a buffalo appeared clambering up the face
of the other wall of the ravine, at point
that we afterward found taxed the climb
ing powers of footman. Another and
another came bobbing up, and as we drew
up the horses, utterly dumbfounded, to see
that every one, even to the calves, had
made the plunge in safety.
This, 10 me, was one of the most note
worthy things that ever came under my
observation. Many times afterward we
saw buffalo tracks on the slight projections
of the walls of these deep gullies, in places
where we could only stop and stare. The
shape of the limbs, too seemed utterly to
forbid it, AS the bulls at this season of
the year were fatter than the COWS, fact
which was apparent at glance, we very
naturally chose them for beef, and as, like
all tenderfeet, we were ambitious to kill
the largest specimen to be found, it fol-
lowed that nearly all we killed were large
bulls. Yet, when standing over the body
of my first buffalo, and Noticing the ex-
IRENE slenderness of the legs just above
the hoof, then and there began to meas
ure each and every one we killed for meat,
besides large ones found dead-when they
did not smell too badly. | found only one
whose foreleg | failed to span with the
middle finger and thumb of one hand.
The size and weight of the animal would
seem to necessitate leg as strong as steel
for the down hill plunges the buffalo can
safely make.-ForeSt and Stream.
