It was not on easy matter to keen
Sam alive in the tropics; now that he
is not only we'll out OF the tropics but
In a region where the winters are se.
we're, ono may we'll despair of being
able to preserve him. During the
twenty-seven months which he has
now spent with me, he has been nv
constant companion. He went with
me to the office when I was in the
south of China; he goes with me now
that I am in the north. In the south
he used to pull the hats of my chair
coolies off; here he continues this plav.
varying it by pulling my hat off and
throwing it out of the chair. At the
office he constitutes himself nv
special guardian, making strong
protests against any one ap.
preaching my desk. He will allow q
stranger to go up to him and scratch
his head; but he makes the noisiest
demonstrations possible if any one
ventures to shake hands with me or
touch any thing on my desk. If I
leave my homo in the morning without
him. he speedily lets mo understand
how sore in spirit he is, and 1 have
eventually to take him. Sometimes ]
am reluctant to take him, as he pulls
things about at the office, and on the
way to the Office he swoops down on
any fruit which may be within range.
1t he captures a pear or an apple, he
returns with it to the sedan-chair in
great triumph, showing as much pleas
ure in his face, and making as much
noise as a child does when given q
piece of cake of moro than ordinary
richness or a lollipop of extra quality.
l am so we'll known here, that tim Grant
fruit-venders know where to apply for
compensation for thefts committed.
There is no ill-feeling created; indeed,
there are roars of laughter when the
"black monkey" as they term Sam,
makes a good seizure. I have to keep
a string of leash" at the office to pay
for Sans depredations.

THE CHARMED RING.
A Curious Superstition Concerning the
Prussian Royal Family.

A Curious Superstition Concerning the
Prussian Royal Family.
From the Life OF Emperor William"
One morning of the winter of 1865, in
the Adjutant's chamber Of the royal
palace, the royal Treasurer, Mr.. Gels
ling, entered. carrying a long, doubly
sealed package. The address on the
package, written by King Frederic Will
liam w., was in effect: II have opened
this package in the presence of my sis
ter Louise of the Netherlands, have
taken cognizance of its contents, and
then sealed it again with my seal.
thereupon restoring it for safe keeping
to the Prince Wittgenstein A few
days afterward there was found acct
dentally in the manuscript collection
of the Berlin Royal Library, in an old
folio volume, entitled ALCHEMY of the
Old Electors and Various Other Super
stitiosa,'" notice that King Frederic
H., 1T the commencement of his reign,
had, among various other things, also
found a little box containing ring
with black stone and q slip of paper
by King Frederic l., on which was
written about the followi",s: This
ring has been given to NE by my
father of blessed memory, upon his
death bed, with the remark that
so long as this ring shall be pre-
served in the house of Bradenburg
this would not only grow but increase
and thrive visibly." Another notice,
referring apparently to the same ring,
said: 1T is said that a princely person
has brought in a large toad and set it
upon the head of the Princess, who
was at that moment in child's labor;
this toad vomited forth q golden ring,
mounted with one diamond and two
rubies. This ring is still at present
transmitted to the first-born of the
house to the memory and intended
good fortune and preservation of the
| owner"
Rumor has connected this ring with
one said to have been drawn from the
dying King Frederick William lis
finger by the Countess Lichtenau. This
says that luck left the Hohonzollerns
in 1906, when the Countess possessed
herself Of the ring; she was treated
harshly and unjustly by Frederick VIII.
liam ILL.,, and when finally she returned
it in 1918. for Life pension, luck &C
companied it. When she took tho ring
from the dying Kings finger he OK
claimed, feebly; ''Her den ring' IRE
turn the ring); it was overheard by
othor persons, and, upon being inter
rogated, the willy Countess said the
King had expressed a desire for her
ring.
! The late Emperor William was thor
oughly free from mysticism, yet, from
his manner of talking on the subject
! he appeared as if he placed implici
faith in the power of the ring credited
to it by the accompanying notices ani
remarks by his ancestors

PLANTING.

Planting, in pain and weakness.
Good seed In the ground so bare,'
Tho sad tears, falling, number
The grain that is planted there;
There IA the ground so fallow,
With never the sun to warm,
Under the SHOWS deep cover.
Beat on BY sleet and storm,
TIL the failing limbs grow numbed
Yet YEARLY ploddlng on,
Scattering still tho seedlings,
Patiently, one by one.
Lifting eyes to the leatlen,
Cheerless, gray-hued skies,
Rifting and renting it's dizziness,
A TRANSCRIPT vision lies;
Away and away over hillsides,
Waving f1el6cs OF grain,
Is the harvest planted in sadness,
In weakness and in pain;
And seeing with sight immortal,
The rains OF Heaven which fell,
terminating the seedlings,
Were tho tears could not quell.
