When he was stationed in Canada Lord
Wolseley spent holiday in the interior,
where he and his attendants built wigwam
and enjoyed the peaceful solitude Of nature.
He had not seen an Indian chief, and his
knowledge of the individual was derived
chiefly from the perusal of the works OF
Fenimore Cooper. He had desire to see the
real article, and some friends of his living
twenty miles away promised TO send along
the first Indian chief they met.
One morning Lord Wolseley was informed
that a nobleman of the west had arrived.
With his mind full of the conventional pict-
ure of the high souled, noble minded red
man, he went out and found a gentleman
clothed in an out-of-date dress suit and waist
coat, who, having had great deal to do
with the Hudson bay traders, knew fair
smattering of French and of English He
talked necessarily for upward Of an hour,
and at the expiration of that time the gen.
eral became bored. Feeling in his pocket for
a coin, he produced two shilling piece, and
with some fear that he was grossly insulting
his guest, offered it TO him. The noble Indian
looked at it carefully, felt the edge and said

looks in a ballroom in a pose she often takes,
that of sitting on low divan and turning
her adorable face upward to the gallants who
bend over her. When she is at her best, she
wears a gown of heliotrope and silver in
which the deep tone of the violet is shown in
the cncture about the waist. 1t is drawn
from the shoulder points and caught by a
star of pearl threads at the curve of the
white bust. a similar star is fastened in
the hair just above the center Of the fore
head. Her hair is a dark amber and her
eyes violet. There are dimples in the round
cheeks, and other dimples at the corner of
the mouth when she Smiles which she does
often in an insouciant fashion, as though the
incense of the world was sweet in the nos
trils which tilt little and give the baby face
its one touch of daring.
But the wonder of her beauty is that she
never looks disturbed, even in the sitting at
mosphere of ball room. Other girls may
make those furtive little rubs about the nose
and forehead which mean dry wash, but
she will sit cool lily of the valley in its
chosen spot on the north side of the house.
But she is short, and one is always disap
pointed in her when she rises. Not dumpy
Short for her form is as shapely as her face,
but of height that girls much less pretty

Miss Letter is seen to best advantage stand
ing, for she is five feet eight and one-half
inches in height but some marvellous train
ing has taught her how to manage length of
limb and arm. Her face is faultlessly oval,
her eyes brown and of that long narrowness
which makes full eyes seem staring. Her
brows are black and of even heavineSs, and
at either side of the forehead the slender veins
show through the olive skin. She wears her
black hair coiled lengthwise from just below
the crown of her head to the nape of the
neck, and nearly always, after the manner of
the hapleSs Ophelia wears a chaplet of flow
ers about it. and sometimes ventures on
wreath of red cherries and shining leaves.
There seems to be some magnetism about the
girl, for every eve follows her as she passes

fact that she suffers the massageur To knead

HOPE AND FEAR.


Beneath the shadow Of dawns >erial cope,
With eyes enkindled as the suns own sphere
Hope from the front of youth in godlSe cheer
Looks Godward, past the shades where blind
men grope
Round the dark door that prayers nor dreams can
ope
And makes for joy the very darkness dear
That gives her wide wings play; dreams
that fear
At noon may rise and pierce the heart of hope.
Then when the soul leaves off to dream and
ycarn,
May truth first purge her eycsight to discern
What once being known leaves time no power
to appali:
Till youth at last, ere yet youth be not, learn
The kind wise word that falls from years that
fall,
"Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at ALL"

The Denomination of Asia,

Portions Of Asia-such as Arabia and Per-
sia-from all accounts must have lost half, il
not more, of their population during the last
thousand years.
Great as the shah of Persia fancies himself
to be, he is but puny prince compared with
the great Darius or Xerxes
Africa has likewise suffered an enormous
loss OF population since ancient times. We
have ample proof that the valley of the Nile

North Africa, now almost desert, given up
to wild beasts and wilder men, civilization

Our fathers best at seven,
While holidays and sports of zest
Are dearest at eleven.
At fifteen we're in love with dress,
But soon in strange commotion
Our sweethearts in their loneliness
Claim all our deep devotion.

But every day throughout our lives
We're sure to love the ladies'.
