SOMEWHAT OF A DIFFERENCE.

Who shall explain the mysteries of Gus
tom House duties? Some of our party were
required to deposit 20 francs duty each on
their bicycles, receiving therefor receipt
on which the amount would be refunded to
them by the customs Office at their point of
exit from Switzerland; while others of the
party simply rode by the Custom House at
Les Rousses, unhailed or unmolested in any
way whatever. Curious people these Gus
tom House officials wherever you find
them.
We found the Swiss roads equally good
with those in France. Just after passing
Fancille, a magnifcentyiew, embracing the
city and lake of Geneva and the distant
Alps beyond, ELECTED general exclsmations
of surprise and delight. Passing on through
Gex, we reached Geneva about noon and
were soon duly installed in our quarters at
the Hotel de la Poste, where we remained
as guests for two days. We were hospi-
tably entertained at the Casino, on the
second evening of our stay, by ID. Brouel,

Duties of the Nurse.

The instinct of self-preservation-
one may as well call it by a high
sounding name-makes a perfect vam-
pire of sick man. It is not altogether
watching, or care, or constant service,
or the keen sense of responsibility
which exhausts nurse, nor all of them
combined. 1t is the presence of the
patients famished body, taking in at
every pore the nervous energy of who
ever is near. The weakling pants for
life. Life he must have. Give me
your hand. Send the full charge of
your human battery along my veins.
That is better than wine, better than
the broad, impersonal warmth of the
sun. 1t is the quickening of pulse by
pulse, the kindling of life by life.
Strange and unaccounta5le are phys
ical influences, but more potent in this
world than men are willing to own. They
are unheeded in the hurrying crowd,
where electricity passes constantly
with the jostliug of elbows. But the
sensibilities of the insulated invalid
culver like pith-balls when brought in
to contact with positive and negative
forces. Certain persons give and
others take from him the strength
which is his carefully boarded treas
ure. He rebels against proximity with
one, and clings like frightened child
to another. To say the well and strong
are the attractive is not enough. Often
they repel by those very characterist-
les. Goodness and virtue have little
to do with it and sympathy is but a
moderate factor. The feeling is almost
wholly unreasonable. ~ Scribner's s
Magazine.

All About the Smiths.


Nine townships in the United States
are named after Mr.. Smith. Besides
these there are five places named
Smiths.
Of places having Smith as prefix
there are 160.
Smithville is the most popular of
these names, there being thirty-two
Smithvilles in this little world.
Next comes Smithfeld, of which
there are twenty-seveu.
There are three Smith landings and
three Smiths ferries to bring the
Smiths to the landings.
Smith has one Basin, where doubt
less Smith washes himself, and it is on
the Champlain canal, in New York
State.
Smith has three islands, one grove,
two cross roads and one crossing, five
creeks and cove, two ports and one
point, twelve mills, one valley, three
stations and one river, one ranch, one
fork, one gap. one hill and three fords.
Perhaps the oldest name among the
Smith titled places is Smiths Turn
Out, which is in South Carolina.

The Industry and Perseverance, of the
Founder of Great University.
Years ago there lived in the interior
of New York boy, the son of farmer,
who also worked at the trade of pot
ter. The boy was marked youth, be-
cause he did with might whatever he
undertook. He was leader in the Or
dinary sports of boyhood; and, when
ever the farm or the pottery relaxed
their hold upon him he would be found
repairing some damaged article or de-
vising a new implement.
His father was poor, the farm was
small, and could only be enlarged by
clearing up the primeval forest. The
boy was anxious to acquire knowledge,
but his services were SO necessary to
his father that he could not be spared
to attend the winter term of the COM
mon school. But the boy was in earn
est. With the aid of his brother, one
year his junior, he chopped and cleared
four acres OF birch and maple woodland,
plowed it, planted it with corn, har-
vested the corn, and then asked, as his
compensation. to be allowed to attend
school during winter. Of course the
father granted the wish.
When the boy was seventeen the
fathers pottery business had so in
creased as to demand more extensive
factory. A carpenter was hired to
build the new building, and the boy
assisted him. So familiar did he be-
come with the tools and trade that he
determined, with the aid of the younger
brother, to erect two-story frame
dwelling-house for his fathers family.
The two boys cut the timber from
the forest, planned and framed the
structure. and then invited the neigh.
bors to assist at the raising" They
came from far and near to see what E
lad of seventeen had done. When eve
ry mortise and tenon was found to fl
in its place, and the frame was seen tC
stand perfect and secure, the veteran.
cheered the young architect and build
er. From that day he was in demand
as a master carpenter.
That boy was Ezra Cornell, the foun.

It was eleven o'clock. Thomas Sin
gleman still fingered in the tapestry
lined parlor of the Hogamont mansion.
There was slight noise upstairs,
when Gabrielle whispered:
30, 'Tom,' l think it is papa, and he
SO objects to you staying so late.n
Before Mr.. Singleman could secure
his hat the door opened. and Colonel
Hogamont entered.
"Claribelle Jane, you may leave the
room for moment. wish to speak
privately with Mr.. Singleman."
With beating heart she gladly left,
then glued her ear to the keyhole out
side.
''Mr. Singleman. / want to ask you q
favor. AsI go past the store wish to
settle bill of ten dollars, and forgot
to call at the bank on my way home.
Can you spare that much until to-mer-

Mr.. Singleman was happy to perform
the favor.

He left the room, and Thomas and
Gabrielle were radiant with happi-
ness. Next evening about the same
hour the old gentleman entered and
obtained similar loan. 1t occurred
also the evening following. The next
evening slight noise was heard up
stairs, and Mr.. Singleman grasped his
hat and left, saying:
''Claribelle, if your papa should in-
quire of my absence tell him took
suddenly sick. Goodbye, sweetp' and
before the old gentleman was half way
down the stairs Mr.. Singleman was
plowing his way homeward through
the murl1y night. The old man smiled
and returned to his slumber.
