As ] sat, one autumn day, watching
the yellow leaves as they came floating
to the ground, looking so much like
great, golden butterflies, this thought
came to me: I wonder what answer the
little folks would make if I should ask
"1What makes the leaves falE'
That evening I put the question to
Alice. She thought a moment and re-
piled: "Why, the wind"
s.But, Alice, there is often SO little air
moving that the leaves do not even rustic
on the trees, and still they drop to the
earth the same"
At this Charlie spoke, his black eyes
sparkling with the thought that he had
solved the problem. 81 know! it's be-
cause they are ready to drop"
"All right, my boy, as far as you have
gone, but there is something more: what
makes them ready
AT this question the three little faces
became very grave; at last, Hattie, the
youngest, said in her timid way: q
think they have done all the work God
had for them to do, and so he picks

L. was that of Hnez de Castro-''the
queen crowned after death'-who was
murdered in the fourteenth century by
three assassins. The lady was the wife
of a Portuguese crown prince, and she
was murdered by order of the king-hei
father-in-law. The prince new spoke
to his father again, and when the old
man died the remains of Inez were lifted
from the grave, placed on a magnificent
throne, and crowned queen of Portugal.
The clergy, the nobility, and the people
did homage 10 her corpse, and kissed the
bones of her hands. There sat the dead
queen, with her yellow hair hanging like
a veil round her CHASTITY form. One flesh
less hand held the scepter, and the other
the orb of royalty.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A River Pilot.

One of the many peculiar features of
steamboat plotting is the shifting of the
channel. The marks Of pilots at GER
tain points along the river or riv-
ers that he works N, once learned,
are always known until they cease
to exist. But the shifting changes
of the channel of a river like the Missis-
sippi presents on many occasions a prob
lematical condition to the most compe-
tent pilots. The changes or shifts of the
channel are sometimes very sudden, but
it is, however, a rare occurrence for a
change to take place in less than forty
eight hours. For instance, tonight !
may go down on the New South per-
fectly acquainted with the channels
position. On my next trip up in a few
days there may have been a change in
its position. 1t requires constant watch
f~ulness, hence it may be truthfully said
that a pilots study is never ended

~Insincerity is often mistaken for n lack

The ring of gold is often the knell of
friendship.
They neve need fear a fall who never
scale the heights.
Adversely undermines many a struct-
ure of prosperity.
He who wisely uses his wealth need
not leave it for his tombstone.
The sight of a mans money is often
times the antidote for the odor of a very
bad character.
If you would avoid the suspicion of
YOU neighbors, never carry your molas-

Prosperity awaits all men, and even
pursues some, but it is never found in
the haunts of vice.
True genius lurketh under cover,
while arrogance stalks abroad in the full
light of day.
The most wonderful work of God is
man; but brand him slanderer and God
will disown his work.
The wisest fish long escapes the most
dangerous hooks, and is finally caught
with a bent up pin.
The ambition of youth looks forward
to the triumpls of age, while stated age
turns back a wistful eye along the rosy
path of youth.
1t is well the book of life is opened to

As a rule the meat eater lives more
rapidly thanthe vegetarian, is much more
likely to overfeed and give his excretory
apparatus too much to do, and SO far is
more liable to disease. This is a matter
he should take into consideration, for
there is no doubt that most of us eat too
much meat for continuance of health,
especially so if the animal has not
been carefully fed and nurtured, and
properly killed, with sufficient loss of
blood. 1t is here probably, and in insult
ficient or improper cooking and keeping,
that danger from ptomaines (cadaveric
Observation-Disclosures which form in a
dead animal body arises. These are
probably most dangerous in badly killed
and cooked meats on the second, third

Management of the Voice.

Professor Sieber has touched M of the
evils Of the day when he declares that
there prevails a keenly felt dearth OF
thorough teachers who have devoted
their lives to the special study of the for
nation of the voice, and this remark ap-
plies just as forcibly in public speaking.
Our people have yet to learn that a ready
flow of ideas and the gift of CAB do not
constitute the sole and only requisite OF
the imprisoned and eloquent orator.
Cicero, when he began his public ca
reer, soon found his voice and delivery
so inadequate that he gave up his pro-
fession for a time, and spent a number
a years in Greece and Asia Minor in the
etnly of ~elocution. When he returned
and resumed his profession, his voice be-
came proverbial for its sweetness, COM
pass and power, andh his delivery charmed
and delighted one of the most eloquent
ages in the worlds history. The severity
of the exercises pursued by Demosthenes
have furnished texts for even the writ
ing books of our schools, and, as a result
he SO developed the clearness OF his ar
ueulation and the strength of his voice
tiat it enabled him to sub lie into silence
and awe those tumultuous assemblies o.
the Athenian democracy, where the noist
and confusion were often like that "or
the lips of the many sounding sea-"
Professor McIlyain, of Princeton col
lege, strikes %squarely at the evil known
as clergymen's sore throat when he say
it would seem that lie who imaginet
himself to be preaching the gospel, while
he violates almost every law Of ora
speech, deceives himself and commits m
little sin-a sin which, like all others
does not fail to punish itself. For thos'
wasting throat diseases with which cler
gymen are afflicted more than any othel
class of public speakers are often traced
physiologically speaking, to bad manage
ment of the voice; to the violation o
those laws which nature has prescribed
for a~rticulate speaking-laws which, lik'
all others established by the God of ma
ture, can never be violated with i'm
punity. This view is confirmed by tn
fact that no more effeetual preventive
for these diseases has been discovered
than a thorough course of sound elocti
! tionary training.-Medical Classics.

A new substitute for tobacco is being
introduced. 1t is a mixture of British
herbs-the particular plants are kept
secret-and smokers who have tried the
compound declare it to be deliciously
fragrant, slightly exhilaratinG and withal
soothing to the nerves. Combined with
ordinary tobacco, it is said to make a
blend IS satisfactory as that Of chicory
with coffee. At presentit is prepared in
Scotland under the name of ''herb to-

web like bright, yellowish silk, the e N

while the supporting lines, or guys, as
they are called, measure sometimes ten
or twelve feet; and riding quickly in
the early morning you may dash right
into it, the stout threads twining around
your face like a veil, while, as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, he generally
catches you right on the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you forget
yourself and try to catch him, bite he
