THE PILGRIMAGE.

Long years ago the heart Of a king

To the holy Land, whore he longed to go.

And could they be satisfied so?

Lave lived thwarted lives like ours and have
died
with the thing that they longed to do uudone,
Gil. unconQ Gered. some from the grave have
cried
For their hearts to be carried ont
Yet never q king had such 4 stake
AS I. In the journey long to make
To q land, alas. where l may not go;
But nav heart must be carried there or break,
Whether living or dead, know.
Come. yelow-haire little boy Of mine;
Let me sec your face, where your young hopes
shine
You're loving, my darling and strong and
true;
You'll journey, while I vaiuly long and pine,
Sc my heart ! will send with you.
For ycarn 10 follow your life, my sweet

But, dear. till your pilgrimage is complete

An intelligent Monkey.

An instance of the instinct and
fidelity of young monkey from Batig-
noiles, q suburb of Paris: A little boy,
the son of an inhabitant Of that part Of
the city, was playing in one of the
rooms of his fathers fat with the
monkey, which is a most Intelligent
and domesticated member of its species.
The boy, in fit of juvenile caprice.
tied the cord OF q window blind around
his neck and pretended to hang him
self to the immense amusement of his
simian playmate, which Grinned and
chartered on a chair. Suddenly the
boy became livid and began TO cry, for
the cord had got into a real moose
around his neck In very short space
of time the monkey took in the situa-
ton and tried to undo tho moose with
its paws, but had to give up the at
tempt. 1t then hoped to another
room. where the boys grandmother
was sitting, and began to pull at her
gown, to chatter, gr.maco. and look
wistfully toward the door. At first,
thinking the animal wanted TO bite her,
the old lady was frightened, but seeing
that it was endeavoring, with might
and main, to drag her toward the door
she arose from her seat and wont, pilot
ed by the monkey, to tho room where
the grandson was moaning. The boy
was instantly eXtricated from his peril
Gus position, though it was some time
before he recovered from his pain and
fright. London TEE Jrdpt.

ComDositionA About n Cat.

Following is the composition written by a
small boy on the cat:
The cat is a curious animal; it has four
feet and also four legs. Its head is at one
end of its body, and its tail is at the other
When it walks its head goes before and its
tail follows along behind. Its front feet
walks before and its hind feet walk along be-
hind. 1t is not good for a cat to tie Il bunch
of firecrackers to its tail. Cats can climb
trees; dogs can't That is lucky for cats.
When dog gets after them they can climb
a tree, where they can sass back without get

4 Philosophical View.

Young people, when in the halcyon days
of their courtShip, are promo to invest each
other with the attributes of angels, and the
closer intimacy of married life reveals the
fact that they are simply human, after all,
having faults and failings that fall in n
measure even to the best of us. While this
discovery may cause surprise and regret, it
need not result III unhappiness, particularly
if one is of the philosophical turn of mind of
the old lady mentioned in the following Incl
dent:
"When my Josiah and me was first mar
ried - she said, ed an idee that he hadn't
"A fault in the world. l wouldn't hear to
anything but that he was perfect and he
thought the same of me
"He just thought, Josiah did, that he'd
drawn one of them impossible prizes in the
lottery of matrimonial woman without n
fault.
"Wcll, by the time we'd gone through two
or three housekeeping scrapes, ataking up
and putting down carpets and setting up
and tearing down stoves and oil that sort of
thing, to say nothing OF blue Monday wash
day and toothacheS that lasted three days at
time-time we'd gone through all that,
Josiah had found out that | want quite an
angel, and I'd discovered that he could do
and say things the saints would skcersely do
and say.
And one day, in one of my penitent
spells, | says to Josiah, says l. i amt the
person YOU thought was, am |, JOSIAH l
amt half as good and sweet as | thought
I'd be-
1--WE was at the dinner table when said
it, and there was a big dish Of beautiful
honey in the comb on the table Josiah
picked it up, and he says, says he: Mir
andy, l like honey rs well as any man living
likes it, and you like it, too, but if we had TO
eat it three times a day for even six months
we'd get so desprtly sick of it we'd never
want to her the word "honey" again. Va
riety, says he, is the spice Of life, sure
enough
"And most married folks, take notice,
don't eat honey three times day, and
they've variety enough to make life inter

The five japanese boys playing blind mans
buff are named, beginning with tho little
fellow near the tree, Totsan, Kin, Yato, Kats
and Metz. TotSan is not more than years
DID, as shown by the cut of his hair, similar
to that of Yato and kats. He is dressed in a
nice little silk kOmono, or gown, of checked
blue and black, lined with red silk and girded
in with sash or obi of red silk. Kin is
at least 7 years old, for he has two little
pigtails on his head. His komono is either
tucked up or has been laid aside. His silk
dress is red, figured in white, and lined with
deep blue On his feet are pretty straw
sandals held on by soft band passing be-
tween the great toe and the next, and across
the foot. Yato's flowing silk robe, checked
in black and white and lined with crimson,
has just been laid hold upon by the tiny claws
of Kats the "blind man" The oldest boy is
Metz his tonsure shows him to be over 8.
He is trying to divert Kats from Yato by
clapping his hands; but probably in one
minute Yato will have the kerchief over his
eyes. Metz has the finest dress of all it is Of
lilac silk with white flowers embroidered ON
it, and lined with figured silk in scarlet and

This is probably an old hunting expression
to signify herd Of deer. In Prescotts
"Phlip the Second quoted by Strype and
Holingshead, is the following "They hunted
the deer, and were 50 greedy of their destruc-
ton that they killed them rag and tag, with
hands and swords" The word tcsg, or tag,
signifies according to Bailey, "a doe in the
second year of her age" Rag is defined by
the same writer as "a herd of young colts"
but older authors have racg to signify herd
of deer at rutting time. Bobtail means a
fawn just after it has been weaned. Tag and
bobtai are used in the same sense when
speaking of sheep, but rag does not seem to
lie known i'll this connection. The complete
original sense of the phrase tag, rag and
bobtail' seems to have been collection of
sheep or deer, of all sorts mixed indiscrmi-
nately.

most careful and dlspaSsionate research there
is nothing to show that one king ever held

for such a government. -Four and perhaps

indeed, the whole scheme or modern life

complete liberty during the livclong day,
and even ut night it is frequently impossible
for busy man to escort his wife. Thus
everything turns on the relations between
the married couple

marrics She may be trusted with any amount
of subsequent freedom. If not, not and
therefore we say that the iniudicious and
worldly parents who are responsible for the
great Majority of i'll assorted unions are also
responsible for the many evil results which
are to be seen in society Mt this day
For it is a fact that rows of English girls
are as much forced into marriage as the
French girl, whose husband is selected while
she is yet in her convent. Not 10y main
force, no: but by the whole tone of her cducn-
tion by the exaggerated fear of being an old
maid; 10y the obvious necessity of making
way for n younger sister; by the persistent
schcming of her parents, and by her own
longing for emancipation For marriage un-
douhtcdly does mean emancipation to most
women and it is precisely those who look
forward to it most who are likely to make
the worst use of it.-Pall Mall Gazette.

After child's first teeth come, try him
with bread and milk, then cautiously, oat-
meal, rice, wheat and similar grain foods,
one at a time as you find them able to digest
them. There should be no great change of
food attempted in July or August. What
ever agrees with year old child in June
should he continued the following two or
three months. A lady who believed this,
carried her plump, rosy, but teething baby
through the second summer in city board
ing house on three meals day, of bread and
milk alone, without an idle day. But her
hard heartedness afforded a constant topic to
her fellow boarders.
1t is possible, in winter, to feed a child who

fruit, when eaten in the morning, rarely
sickens But fruit should never be given
after o'clock in the afternoon. Many a

supper, and the palmer the last meal of the

This diet may seem needleSsly plain, but
we must remember that little babies have
not our cultivated appetites, and do not

"HE WOULDN'T LET Us PASS HIM AT ALL"
So papa put me on Satfo and ! started to
count the turkeys in the barn yard. | knew
how to count up as high as 100. But when
we came to the bridge Saffo and got such a
fright A monstrous bird, making more
noise than he could, came running to meet
us, and he stopped right on tho bridge as
mad as he could be, and his tail and all his
feathers stuck out, and he wouldn't let us
pass him at all. He was awful. SO we had
to turn back and gallop as fast us we could.
l knew what he was, because his noise
sounded like "gobble, gobble, gobblel'
Well, the farmer would have laughed at us
for being afraid to cross the bridge to the
barn yard, so l told him l only counted one,
and he needn't mind about having turkey for
Thanksgiving. But he said he would see
about it. And what do you think? We did
have one, all the same, when the day came,
and doughnuts and mince pie afterward.
l was sorry for any poor bird to be roasted;
but think that turkeys are a great deal too
fierce when they are not cooked.
