WHAT WOMAN CAN DO.-She can
come to 4 conclusion without the
slightest trouble of reasoning on it,
and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once and
get along first rate, and no two men
can do that.
She can safely stick so pins in her
dress while he is getting one under
his thumb nail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in
half a dozen tight dresses and skirts,
while man will sweat and fume and
growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches
and cream to the woman she hates,
while two men would be punching
each others heads before they had
exchanged ten words.
She can throw a stone with a curve
that would be fortune to baseball
pitcher.
She can say "no" in such a low
voice that it means Eyes"
She can sharpen a lead pencil if
you give her plenty of time and plen-
ty of pencils.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-tive years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her arms without
once expressing the desire of murder
ing the infant.
She can-but-what's the use? A
woman can do anything or everything
and do it we'll.
She can do more in minute than
q man can do in an hour, and do it
better.-N. Y. Mail.

Grand Descriptive Powers.

The Martyrs have stayed at home
all summer, and their friends, The
ophilus Borer and his wife, came over
Sunday evening to tell about their de-
lightful summer trip. 'Oh,you ought
to have been with us. It was grand.
Up in the Adirondacks they were
just grand. The grandest mountains.
And the sunsets-ah, they were
grand. One evening we saw the
grandest sunset; oh, it was grand.
Just grand. Oh, but the scenery
grand Perfectly grand Talk about
grandeur; | never saw anything so
grand. The grandest mountains.
Grand? Grand One afternoon a
storm came up; our windows looked
right out on the storm. 1t was grand.
The grandest sight [ ever saw. Our
windows looked right out on the lake.
You never saw anything SO grand.
And the mountains-ah, they were
grand. Our windows looked right
out on the mountains; my, but every
thing was grand. Why, you could
just sit in our windows and look right
out at the mountains. All, they
were grand. We'd just sit there and
look out; it was grand. You can't
realize how grand it was unless you
saw it. 1t was just grand. You
can't begin to describe it. You can't
describe it at ALL" At this point the
dying Martyrs rouse themselves to
assent to this proposition with such
and emphatic endorse
ment that the Borers are encouraged
to believe it is an honest encore, and
they "describe' it all over again.
During the summer and winter-and
in the springtime and along through
the autumn months-there is great
deal said and written in denuncaition
of ''descriptive writing" but the fact
is we don't have enough of it. There
isn't one descriptive letter in three
hundred that describes anything.
There isn't one person in thousand,
home returning from mountain and
seashore, who can give any better
description of what they have seen
than your friends, the Borers.

81 never get time to read any
thing" plaintively remarked young
man recently. There are thousands
of people who attempt to excuse their
neglect of general reading upon this
specious plea. Any one, no matter
how arduous may be his duties, can
obtain time sufficient to read judi
ciously and keep posted, not only
upon general contemporaneous events,
but also upon matters of more purely
literary interest. A few minutes
every day faithfully spent in this way
will work a remarkable change in a
mans conversation and his point of
view. Half an hour day spent with
good magazines and books and pa
pers will in three months time in
crease a mans interest in life mani
fold. There are few people who can
not manage to secure that amount of
time each day for such purpose, and
yet only a very small percentage of
people manage to do it. The others
prefer to remark, 81 never get time

Sam.

A country boy by the old stone wall,
That keeps the meadow and road apart,
Stands handsome and manly and strong and tall;
And sturdy is he the maple tree
That's by his side For Sam is young
And his honest heart is as light and free
As the bird that sings in the summer skies.
He looks far off DER the distant hills,
While soft light shines in his hazel eyes,
And leaning there by the meadow wall,
He gives this sweet, familiar call
''Ho boss ho boss! no boss!'
Now to manhood grown, and the bells sound sweet
As the come slowly from out of the wood;
And he leaves the wall and hurries to meet
The mild-eyed creatures for they all know
The hand that strokes them as they pass
Along the road where the daisies grow.
And each one stands by the cow-Yard bars
Seeming well content with the strong brown hand
That mlks them there meath the summer stars;
And Sans eyes look love as he sings again
The well-remembered, sweet refrain,
''Ho boss no boss no bossp'
Twas a day in June, such poets love.
There by his side fair girl stands,
And the flying clouds in the sky above
Seem to play at forfeits with the sun.
How well Sam knows that a lovers heart
Throbs meath his coat and that every one
OF the clover blossoms in the field
Is breathing to him an old love song,
And that every bud joy yield.
So the maiden there by the broken wall
Takes up and sings the old time call,
''Io boss! no boss! no bossl"
Once more Sam stands by the meadow bars
With his wife beside him, and her arms
Enfold dear form whose baby pirate
Is sweeter to them than the brooks gay song
AS it flows away at the foot of the hill.
Happy they wait for they know ere long
The cows will come from the meadow side.
So Sam caresses his little son,
While the young wife looks with joy and pride;
And piping voice DER the old stone wall
Just breathing in baby notes the call,
''Ho bossl no boss no boss!'

Phussandphret.

Have you heard of the land called Phussandphret,
Where the people live upon woes and regret?
It's climate is bad, 1 have heard folks say;
There's seldom, if ever, pleasant day.
IT'S either too gloomy from clouded skies,
Or so bright the sunshine dazzles ones eyes:
IT'S either so cold ones all of Il chill,
Or else tits warm it makes one i'll;
The season is either too damp too dry,
And mildew or drought is always nigh.
For nothing that ever happened yet
Was just as it should be in Phussandphret.
And the children-it really makes me sad
To think they never look happy and glad.
1t is, sob, dear me!'' until school is done,
And it's then, ''There's never time for fun"
Their teachers are cross, they all declare,
And examinations never fair.
Each littlesduty they apt to shrk
Because they're tired, or tits hard to work.
Every one is grave an owl,
And has pouting lips gloomy scowl;
The voices whine, and the eyes are wet,
In this doeful country of Phussandphret.
Now, if you find your feet
On the down-hill road into Phussandphret,
Turn and travel the other way,
Or you never will know happy day.
Follow some cheerful face-'twill guide
To the land of Look -at-the -Pleasant-Side
Then something bright you will always see,
No matter how dark the world may be,
You'll smile at your task ks and laugh at your dreams
And learn that no i'll is as bad as it seems.
So lose no time, but haste get
As far you from Phussandphret.

before him. He never wasted an
hour, and by steadily keeping at it, in
spite of continual i'll health and of
long intervals of semi-invalidism, he
has left the impression upon the
world of a man of extraordinary en-
ergy and working capacity. Success
is rarely matter of accident, always
a matter of character. The reason
why SO many men fail is that so few
men are willing to pay the price of
self-denial and hard work which hard

CONSUMPTION CURED.

the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the

Musical Lizards.

As is we'll known, lizards of all
colors and sizes abound in Italy.
They lie basking on all the stones,
they run along all the walls, they
peep out of every chink and crevice !;
but as soon as they hear the faintest
noise they disappear with lightning
speed, and it is hard to see them near
and to observe them closely. Walk
ing carelessly, and noticing the dear
little animals darting, now here, now
there, / remembered, says a writer,
the Greek statue of Apollo Saurk-
tonos, who is always represented as
busted with a lizard Appolo, god of
the sun and of music. "Suppose /
try" | thought, and softly, quite
softly. began to whistle a dreamy old
German air, and behold lizard lies
still as though rooted to the spot,
raising his little head in listening
attitude and looking at me with his
sharp little eyes. Without stirring, l
continued my melody. The lizard
came nearer and nearer, and at last
approached quite close, always listen
ing and forgetting all its fears. AS
soon, however, as the whistler made
the smallest movement, it vanished
into some crevice, but to peep forth
again a moment after and to listen
once more, as though entirely entranc-
ed. A delightful discovery truly, and
one of which / extended the field of
observation daily. At last as many
as eight or nine of these little music
lovers would sit around me in some
of the most comic attitudes.
Two of them, mother and it's
young one, would sit awaiting me as
l arrived whistling at the same hour
of day, sitting on large stone, I'M
der which was probably their home.
With these, too, made some further
experiments. After having made
music to them for a while I cautious
ly went a few steps farther, whistling
on in soft drawing tones, such as |
had found they best loved to hear, and
see, verify, they followed me Watch
ing them with intense interest, [ con-
tinued to whistle as [ walked on
slowly, hating every few PAGES and
being silent while [ halted, and truly
the little creatures followed, slowly it
is true, but in quite a straight line,
at distance of about fifteen steps,
until at last, unhappily, the heavy
tread of a peasant put them to flight.
But my experiment had lasted long
enough to make me understand the
Apollo Sauroktonos, and | once more
reverenced the keen native observa-
ton of those old Hellenes. Besides
this, the legend of the "Ratcatcher
of Hamelin" suddenly became much
more credible.

1t is a great mistake to suppose
that the best work of the world is
done by people of great strength and
great opportunities. 1t is unques-
tionably an advantage to have both
these things, but neither of them is
necessity to the man who has spirit
and the pluck to achieve great re-
suits. Some of the greatest work of
our time has been done by men of
physical feebleness. No man has
left more distinct impression of
himself on this generation, says the
Christian Union, than Charles OAR
win, and there have been few men
who have had to struggle against
such prostrating i'll health. He ac
complished his great work by having
a single aim, and putting every ounce
of his force and every hour of his
time into the task which he had set
