about when he says: If asked what, as the result of my experience, is the greatest pleas ure in life, I should say, doing good to others. Not 3 strikingly original remark, perhaps, but seemingly the most difficult thing in the world is to be prosperous and generous at the same time. During the war I asked a very rich man to contribute some money to a cer- tain relief fund. He shook his head and said: "Childs, I can't give you anything. I have worked hard for my money" That is just 1t. Being generous grows on one, just as being mean does. The disposition to give and be kind to others should be inoulcated and fostered in children. It seems to me that is the way to improve the world and make happy the people who are in 1t.
 The Spanish queen regent makes her sum- mer residence at La Granjs, little town 35 miles south of Badajoz, better known in his- tory by it's old name of San Ildefonso. It stands high, and has a pure, cold air. The houses in the neighborhood are of course all filled by fugitives from the oppressive heat of Madrid. Her Majesty's style of living ia extremely quiet and simple, there being a slight relaxation of the strict etiquette which prevails at Madrid. She is an early riser, be. ing usually at her toilet shortly after ( o'clock. and by half-past she has already heard mass and gone into the garden with the little king. At about half-past 10 she returns to the house, reads the morning pa- pers, Spanish and foreign, and has luncheon at midday, ministers and persons of mark being generally invited to that meal Until half-past 4, when an excursion is usually made to one of the many picturesque places in the neighborhood, the time is occupied with conversation and attention to house and children. Dinner is at 8, and at 9 o'clock the queen says "Good-night" to everybody.

The FOOlh0rdY Contest Indulged in by a Whaler's Crew.
 lFrom the Kennebec (Me.) Journal1 In July, 1886, two whale-boats were sail- ing leisurely across Shantar Bay in the Ochotsk sea, when the harpooner remarked: "A big seal on the port bow, sir." This "big seal" proved to be an immense Siberian bear, which, caught on the ice foe in his search for seal, had taken to the water, and was swimming for land, distance of at least five miles. From experience we knew this chap would be a formidable antagon- ist on shore, and any interfer enee on our part would have been carefully considered. But this seemed sure thing and safe, so to take in our sail and to get a harpoon and place ready was the work of a few minutes. It required no man0uvring to approach the old fellow, so with a full, straight head, harpoon was fairly planted in his back.
 Talk about transformation scenes--with g terrible snarl he leaped almost out to the water, he pulled at the harpoon until his brown sides bulged with teeth and claws he crushed and twisted the Australian iron- wood harpon-pole into thousand slivers. He "took" our line "hand over hand" until it spun through the "chocks" as if fast to running whale. Failing to clear himself, he suddenly rushed for our boat, and before the order to "Stern all for your lives" could be obeyed both feet were on the gunwales, and we were only saved from capsizing and per- haps something worse by the prompt action of the harpooner, who slashed old bruins paws with his sheath. knife until he let go, wild with pain and rage. All this had taken place in moment but he had learned in that brief time that Siberian bear in the water was not to be fooled with. Once out of his reach we took great care not to get into his clutches again, and a skill.fully- thrown lance soon decided in our favor. It was two-hour job to tow him in shore, but we felt amply paid by steak for supper and the sight of g bear that, although poor in flesh, must have weighed more than a thousand pounds

ASURPRISING CHANGE.

The conquest which the free text book idea has made in this city is surprising. Two weeks ago Messrs. Avis, Howarth and Adler were nominated on free text book platform at meeting where not more than seventy five persons were present. There was then abundant protest against the idea, and 1t seemed to be believed by not a few that free text books would form the first step toward a state of Socialism wherein the school chil. dren would be given free clothes. free lunch es, free playthings and whatever else they might need or want. But this alarm has all passed away. Now most of those interested in the election seem to be almost tumbling over each other in their eagerness to declare their belief in the free text book idea. If we can believe what we read the only differ ence between the two tickets nominated is that the members of one believe in free text books and will work for their introduction in the schools. and the members of the other believe in free text books and will not work for their introduction.
 Of course this Is ridiculous situation and will deceive nobody. The fact is that the popularity of the free text book idea and the strength of the ticket nominated to help car- ry 1t out here have driven it's opponents into hiding. It Is well known that the ticket nominated by those who hope to defeat the free text book ticket is an incongruous affair, and although it is wildly claimed that it represents Law and Order nobody would have thought of saying that it didn't. So does the free text book ticket, and it also repre- sents many other things that are desirable to have in the management of school affairs. Therefore do not be deluded by the prayers or tears of the frenzled opponents of it, but vote it early and vote 1t straight

DEATH BY THE GUILLoTlNE.
The Awful Suspense of a Criminal DeS

The Awful Suspense of a Criminal DeS-
 cribed by the Prison Chaplain.
 LFrom the London Telegraph
 The recent double execution of Allorto and Sellier at La Roquette has again given rise to consider able amount of discussion as to the moral effect of the "guillotine" on the criminal classes. It is quite possible that President Carrots severity in according few reprieves has had deterrent effect on the cutthroats, who had learned to expect SO much from the misplaced clemency of N. Grevy. This would seem to be borne out by the observations of the Abbe Faure, chap lain of La Roquette prison, who has just communicated report on his ministrations to the government. The abbe believes that no other punishment which may be substitu- ted for execution by the ''guillotine" will have so fear-prodHoing an effect as the terri- ble instrument of justice at the service of the public headsman.
 In his report the abbs draws a realistic picture of the suspense in which the doomed murderer lives from day to day, until he hears either his summons to the scaffold or the news of his reprieve. Nearly all the religion according to the degree of education which they have received, and none of them give up the hopes of reprieve until the last moment. The condemned criminals
 rarely or never sleep when they know that
 their time is approaching, or if they do it 1 is only to dose off into horrible dream, from l which they jump up all livid with fear and 1 dread. Sleeping or waking the "guillotine, {" | the lunette, the headsman and his assis- tants are for ever present to their imagina- 1 tions. Out of eleven persons whom the abbe attended during his six years oi office three were really asleep when ther summons came.
 On the whole, the French system of keep- 1 ing criminals in suspense for weeks or months is severe one; but neither the l chaplain who considers it his duty always l to buoy up the doomed men with hope, 1 nor the magistrates and police officials who deal with the dangerous classes, are inclined
 to recommend it's alteration in any of It's details

MISSIONARY WORK IN JAPAN.

MISSIONARY WORK IN JAPAN. MT. Kentaro Kaneko of the privy council of Japan has something interesting to say in
 the Christian Register concerning the work of missionaries in Japan. The evangelists
 have done much excellent work among the poor, and have made many converts and have worked with great devotion, but they have not struck into the heart of the country or
 reached the people who direct and control public opinion. The thoughtful and quick witted Japanese have been influenced largely by the education of their young men at the
 intellectual centres in Europe and America, where the thought which is directed by the
 law of evolution has been in the ascendency. They have absorbed this explanation of the
 beginning of things, and have applied it with wonderful acuteness as working ex- planation of the problems of life. It is this
 kind of philosophical and rational thinking, according to MT. Ksneko, which is most in- fuential to-day among the intellectual and
 leading classes in Japan. Mir. Kaneko as-
 serts very distinctly that the foreign mission aries in Japan have no more effect upon the
 ruling and influential people of that country
 than water has upon ducks back. They
 do not touch, or even come within gunshot, of the question Ut issue.
 The moral which the Boston Herald draws
 from MT. Kaneko's article is that, whatever
 may be the defects of Unitarian teaching as
 compared with the usual statement of Chris
 tian belief, it is in very close accord with the
 beliefs in morality and religion which now
 have most weight with the highest and best educated classes in Japan.
