the cvangelists whose fame is spread
over the whole country make more
money than this, but even their pay is
nothing like what it is made by ex-
travagant popular stories. Harrison,
the boy preacher, is always in demand,
and charges $40 day for his services,
whether he is engaged for week or u
month. He is worth about $50 900.
Moody makes no charge for his serv-
ices, but he is paid much better than
Harrison. His two weeks preaching
in st. Louis made him $1,000. He is
worth about 100000. Sam Jones is
the best paid man OF them all, but he
gives away so much money that he is
not wealthy. For nearly a months
work in Kansas City he got So, 90 and

lively small extent, and there is little
doubt that the great southern seas
which lie within the triangulation of
Cape Horn, the Cape Of Good Hope
and Tasmania extend unbroken by any
considerable archipelago clear up to
the Goth degree of south latitude.
This vast eXpanse OF deep ocean offers
source OF danger TO the explorer
which is unknown in the high north
ern attitudes. Sweeping cure nts and
winds have TO be borne that are of
a power by no means easy TO cope
with. On one occasion when Ross
was becalmed for a few hours, the
dead set OF the ocean waves drifted
the ships toward n range of huge ice
bergs, against which the sea broke
with appalling violence. Every ego
was transfiixed with the tremendous
spectacle. and destruction appeared In
evitable." The ships were thus driven
on for eight hours until within half a
mile of the gigantic icebergs, when a
gentle air began TO stir and the peril
was averted.
In the next place ID has been dis
covered that the climate OF the south
ern ocean is sometimes a peculiarly
disagreeable one. In the very middle
Of the Antarctic summer there are
opposing currents, thick fogs and
gales to be encountered, and this in no
high her latitude 66'.
In the next place the ice barrier
that seems 10 shut out exploration of
the polar lands is of a peculiarly for
bidding description. So far as it has
been skirted it is an inaccessible, I'M
broken wall of ice. That land does
exist within this cliff of frozen snow
there is also no doubt. The existence
of volcanic peaks and chains of noun
tains of enormous hight show this;
but so far as it has been seen that land
is covered with snow at all seasons; no
human being has been met with be-
yond 56o of latitude; no vegetable
growth, except lichens, has been seen
beyond $50 and no land quadruped
is known to exist beyond Go.
Lastly it has been found that betwee n
the northern and southern lights thsre
are some striking points of difference
that tend to prove pifferent magnetic
conditions. The electrical display at
both poles occurs simultaneously and
seems TO correspond on an immense
sc lie with the discharges from the
positive and negative poles of u
battery.
Much mere has been conjcctured
concerning this mysterious region,
but the above is a resume of all that is
actually known concerning it.--San

That Odious Old Shah.

The shah gave an infnity OF trouble
at Vienna. The London Truth says
tn after the first state dinner he sud
denly started from his seat at the Ia BILE
and rushed out of the room, and the
Archduchess Elizabeth, who repre-
sented the empress, had literally to
chase him, in order that they might
enter the saloon together at the head
OF the guests. At the Schonbrunn
Menagerie the king of kings diverted
himself by knocking at the more
savage animals with stick, which
threw them into transports OF fury,
and at the imperial banquet he kept
tho Emperor waiting for twenty
minutes. On the last evening OF his
stay the Persian minister gave u re-
ception and supper but to the horror
OF the trembling diplomatist the sha h
positively refused to see any OF the
guests, insisting on taking his meal
apart, in the company of little Aziz,
who created disturbance on the
night of the gala performance Mt the
theatre, as, deeming himself to have
been insulted by one of the court
functionaries, he screamed, stamped
his foot and bawled "ALLez, diable,

A Substitute.

A lady who is opposed to corporal
punishment visited Boston school
where the rod was being applied. Be-
fore going away she said a few words
to the offender, and asked him to come
and see her on certain evening,
promising that her daughter should
sing and play to him. He said he
would come, and at the appointed time
boy dressed in his best was ushered
into her parlor, and for an hour or
more his kind entertainers devo ted
themselves to his enjoyment. After

and began to speak of the importance
OF good behavior and obedience to
rules, when she was interrupted with:

What the Chinese Canno, Understand.


From some extracts Of letter pub.
lished in the Presbyterian Messenger
it is learned that the first major surgical
operation performed in Changpu by
the Presbyterian missionary was in
many ways n remarkable one. One
evening a beggar with dreadful leg,
and in all but dying condition, was
laid by some Of his friends at the door
of Dr. Howe's house, and left there.
The doctor had the patient at once
carried to an empty house belonging
to one of our church members, and
there on the morrow, in the presence
OF large and wondering crowd, am
putated the limb below the knee To
the surprise OF all, the man stood the
operation we'll, and has since greatly
improved in general condition. That
the foreign doctor should pay so much
attention to and spend so much time
and trouble on beggar seems to have
astonished the Chinese. They cannot
understand how any one should give
himself so much trouble without being
paid for it, l heard one say, as he was
watching the doctor doing his work:
"Well, the Chin man would not do
such things" 1t came to our ears that
n number of the shopkeepers in the
town are not at all pleased that the
mans life has been saved. They hoped
he would die, for he has been a source
of great annoyance to them. He used
to go to their shops and expose his
sickening sore, and refuse to go away
until they gave him what he demand
ed-viz., 400 cash from the largest
shops, down to 80 cash from the smaller
ones. There is every probability Of his

LIFE OF FREIGHT BRAKEMAN.

Dustgrimed features weather beaten,
Hands that show the scars of toll;
Do you envy him his station,
Patient tiller of the soil
In the storm or in the sunshine
He must mind the speeding train,
Ride outside at post of duty;
Needing not the drenching rain.
But in the pleasant summer weather,
Standing on the car top high,
He can view the changing landscape
AS he PUSHES swiftly by.
AS ne views the changing pictures
That the lovely landscape makes.
Suddenly across his dreanings
Comes the 4uick, shrill cry for bfaBes
But when winter icy fingers
Cover earth with snowy shroud,
And the north wind, like q mailman,
Rushes on with shriekiugs loud,
Then Geho,d The g liant brakeman
Haste I, heed the engines call,
Running on the icy car-tops-
God protect him If he fall.
Do not scorn TO greet him kindly.
lie will give you smile for smile;
Though he's nothing but brakeman
DO not deem him mean or vile.
Speak TO him in words OF kindness,
Though his clothes are coarse and plain,
For his heart can beat re sponsive
TO the touch OF Joy or pain.
One misstep or slip of hand
Sends the poor, unlucky brakeman
To the dreadful, unknown land.
AS we read our evening paper,
Noting what its columns say,
One brief line attracts our notice,
Zone more brakeman killed to day"
He may have widowed mother,
He may be her only Joy;
Maybe in her home she praying
For the safety of her boy;
For he loves that dear old mother,
Toling onward day by day,
Always bringing her some present
Every time he draws his pay.
In the little lonely cottage,
Sitting in the waning light
Sits the luckless brakemans mother,
Who expects her boy tonight
Some one brings the fatal message
"God have mercyp' hear her pray,
As she reads the fearful story:
skilled while coupling cars today."

Something 30 Think or.

When an office-holder. from senator
down to constable, puffs out his chest
and cheeks with pride and claims to
represent the people, he is way off. A
recent estimate by statistician proves
that he seems TO represent five-eighths,
but practically he represents not moro
than seventeen electors to the hun

act of suicidal folly, he should never
enter his house again. He spoke worry
quietly and decislvely- he kept
his word.

went on with break in his strong

the fierce words. Then he called Tor

surprise.
His face grew so stern and hard as
he said these words that Tessa invol-
UNFAIRLY shrank a little away, and her
heart beat with a feeling of tmidity
quite foreign to her fearless nature.
Il should not like TO offend him

and shrinking gesture. He put out

gently.
