WISE WORDS.

Any one can act natural by keeping

Every throb of the heart is q new

None but the rich can afford "dcar"

Competition is a necessity to tho activi.
ty of life.
The only 'fall of man" is when he
falls behind.
Education that restrains the desire to
learn is false.
Nothing great was ever achieved with.
out enthusiasm.
One of the sublimest things in the
world is plain truth.
OF tame beasts, the worst is the fiat
terer; Of wild, the slanderer.
Charity and personal force are the
only investments worth anything.
Whatever you dislike in another per-
son take care to correct in yourself by
the gentle rcproof.
Avoid him who, from mere curiosity,
asks three questions running about a
thing that cannot interest him.
Any one may do casual act Of good
nature, but continuation of them shows
it is a part of the temperament.

that is content.
Affectation is certain deformity; BY
forming themselves on fantastic models
the young begin with being ridiculous
and often end with being vicious.
Sweetness of temper is not acquired
but a natural excellence, and, therefore
to recommend it to those who have i
not, may be deemed rather an insult thar

Women never truly command till the,

Nothing more impairs authority thai

and anon, as if they were dreaming of
tearing some living victim to pieces.
Others were wallowing in the sullen
waters, above which nothing could be
seen but their scally snouts and long,
saw-like tails; while Others still were
completely hidden, ,betrsying their where
abouts only by the huge brown bubbles
that crept lazily up to the stagnant sur
face.
Just below US, the hugest of these
foul creatures lay asleep on an islet of
mud, half in the water and half out.
Wishing to stir it up, I threw large
huge stone at it, which rebounded from
the scaly back like hailstone from a
roof; but the monster never moved. Mrs.
Ker flung another stone with no better
success; and then two of the Hindoos,
seeing what we were at, joined in the
bombardment so Justify that the mud
bank was studded like an almond-cake
with stones of all sizes; but to all appear
ance we might have built an entire house
upon the plegmatic crocodile without
disturbing it in the least. At length one
huge stone hit it fair in the nose, when it
finally condescended to wake up, stretched
itself, yawned, and waddled lazily down
into the water, while its fiat, scaly head
and mud-besmeared body, its narrow,
cunning eyes, short, clumsy limbs, and
ungainly movements formed picture
more hideous and repulsive than the ugli.
est demon ever imagined by Dante.
At that moment tiny English child,
having escaped from its ayah (native
nurse) while the latter was engaged in
watching the crocodiles, scrambled up on
to the parapet that overhung the tank. 1t
was horrible to see how, the moment the
poor little victim appeared, the whole
surface below was alive with Tapping
tails and gaping jaws, as the monsters
caught sight of their prey. Scared by
the tumult, the child grew dizzy, stag.
gered forward, and in another instant
would have fallen headlong into the ter.
rible pool, when one of the Maharajah's
native gardeners, an active young fellow,
sprang forward and clutched her by the
arm just in time.
Crocodile know how man.fesh
taste!" said tall, gaunt Punjabi beside
us. "When old Maharajah reign, that
time plenty man throw in here, croco.
ollie plenty much fat--aha!"
This speech, and the ghastly grin that
accompanied it, were all that was
needed to complete the horror Of thi'
frightful spectacle; and, turning away
with a shudder, we hurried from the i'll
omened spot as fast as we could.-FTan1

Hamid II, is q man of medium size
and we'll p7oportioned. His skin is yel-
lowish, his mouth large and his lips thick,
the lower one protruding somewhat. He
has a curved nose, essentially Turkish
and slightly turned to one side; large,
black, expressive eyes, which at times
assume a very soft look, and jet black
thick hair. His features express strong
will and determination, mixed with kind
ness of heart, while quite often, a deep
melancholy spreads over his face. He
is now forty-seven years old; he is the
thirty fourth of his dynasty and the
twenty-ffth Sultan of Constantinople.
Having been called to the throne in the
midst of most trying circumstances and
critical times, he went manfully to work
to improve the condition of his vast en-
pire, to reorganize the army and bring
some order to his country's finances.
To that effect he attends personally to
all branches of the Government machine,
following closely all modern improve
ments, and often asks foreign ambassa-
dors for valuable information. He is an
early riser, reads the dispatches and tele-
grams received during the night; dictates
himself the most important answers, and
then reads attentively the communica-
sions of his ambassadors abroad, who, by
his orders send directly to him at Yiel-
diz kiosk, a duplicate of all documents
which they address to the ministers of
foreign affairs.-Ncl0 York Commercial

uAnBOR OF REST.

It wasnoon OF midsummer day;
The air was like gold in the high-vaulted
skies
As rode through the seaport town,
shifting the cart-loads of sea-weed that
crawled up the street,
Driven by sea-lads lusty and brown
The cart-loads Of sea-weed wholesome and
sweet,
And the wagons of salt-marsh hay.
Blue as the arch overhead
Blue, blue were the inlets that tempted my
eyes
Over ridges of mari and loan,
fill caught the lisp of the tide as it broke
on the beach,
Lapping the pebbles spotted with foam,
Whose millions Of sea-shells crumble and
bleach,
And the waste of the sea is spread.
Motionless glistened the bay
Motionless, too, lay the sunny white sand;
Not trace of sorrow was there,
No wreck to sink in those sparkling treacher-
Gus seas,
Or cloud that burst on the hot blue air,
But fishers hanging their nets to the breeze
And the children ruddy with play.
The wind blew warm in the west
And far from their green stable birthplace,
the land,
Asleep on the tide lay tho ships;
Far in the offing they lay with their indolent
sails,
And the kiss Of the brine at their lips,
like souls of the weary snatched from the
gales
To purple harbor of rest.
Hark tits voice like flute
A voice like flute in the morning of time
From the cliff where the sea-weed lies:
Hark! tits the sailors lass with her young
brown breast half bare,
And the lids dropping over her eyes
While the wild fowl stoop to listen and stare,
And the lizard creeps to her foot.
y - = y y Il
o seafarer tost by the seas,
Your bed has been laid amid coral and slime
On the awfnl floor of the main,
And your sweetheart loiters and laughs in
laughing air
As sho waits for her coming-in vain;
For her are the waters of trouble and care,
But yours is the haven Of Peace.

Capital punishment is abolished in

the practice has lately been revived there.
For the picture of "The Angelus,"

The "Pilgrim's Progress" has just been

There is now ''Dynamodermic Insti-

The heat in Russia and other parts OF
northern Europe has been intense of

since 1774.
The largest annual amount received by

A crab that climbs cocoanut trees is

umes and $4,000 manuscripts.
The national flower of England is the
rose; of France, the lily-though the
Bonapartes used the violet. Germany
has no national flower, nor has Italy; but
because popular rulers of those countries
, preferred respectively the corn fowel
and the daisy, those may be considered
the national flowers: Austria and Rus
sia have no national flowers.

All the accounts of the experiments
with smokeless powder at the Spandau

peared at one OF the windows OF the pa
vilion mentioned above, and from that
place he reviewed the troops. At the
head of them marched four gigantic AL
banians with long boards and leather
aprons, carrying hatchets and followed by
Albanian zouaves, belonging to his
majesty's bodyguard. Besides the regu-
lation army these men carried, in their
leather belt, long yatagan, a dagger and
revolver. This would appear rather
odd on regular soldiers, but those AL
banians carried their extra arsenal with
ease and almost with grace.
A select body of marine infantry fol-
lowed, carrying an immence black flag,
with the imperial arms in the upper
corner. After them came the Soudanese
zouaves, with their very picturesque cos
tunes, all of them very much sunburnt,
appearing 1.-THE and vigorous. They wore
turbans, bright green gloves and red en-
broidered jackets. Next to the Alban-
ians, they are considered the most select
body of men in the Sultan's service.
The procession closed with two fine
regiments of cavalry. The men sat their
horses perfectly which were we'll groomed
