NUMBER 8.

Just then Elsie's voice was heard in
the hall, and Will arose from the piazza
steps on which he had been sitting,
walked quickly around the house and
out of sight.
He felt as angry as Elsie bad said he
would. He had a great liking for the
small luxuries which wero scarce in the
family The umbrella had been given
him by an aunt who had visited them,
and he had taken great pride in the
stylishness of its oxydized silver handle
and its slender proportions when en-
cased in it's silken cover. 1t had been
small joke with his sisters that he only
took it out when sure it was going to
rain.
1t was gone, and he knew that it would
be great relief to his vexation to pour
out his anger upon Elsie, who had no
business to touch his shighly-prized prop
erty. He could in fancy see exactly how
she would shrink before him and how
| the tears would come to her blue eyes
| just as she deserved, he declared to him
self
And then came thought of the boy
in the book who had won the victory
over a sense of injury very like to this
which was possessing him. This was
putting him in his place, sure enough.
Will walked for an hour under the
trees in the old orchard. Better thoughts
came to him through the gathering
shadows of the twilight. What a short
lived satisfaction would be in the Bit
ter words which would rankle like
| thorns in his little sisters heart. What
lasting sweetness in lifting from her
the burden of fear of his severe fault
finding.
''I'll wait till some day I want it and
| then I'll ask where it is, and when she
tries to tell me IL kiss her and laugh"
he said as at length he turned towards
the house.
''But no won't. She'll keep on fret
ting over it till she knows l know"
''Elsie!'' he called at the steps.
"What is it, WHIP"
Mother raised her head in anxious at
tention.
Bring me my umbrella, please"
80, WILL came in a faltering little
voice, as she walked slowly towards
| him.
He did not wait for her to go on, but
threw his arms around her with a laugh.
''Yes, you'd have hard time bring
ing it, wouldn't you? know all about
it, you naughty little thing. If that's
what you're been wearing such dole
full face about these few days you'd bet
ter set your mind at rest.
so, Will, aren't you mad with me?"
''Not bit.
''You dear, dear, brother! / thought
you'd never forgive me.
1t was, as he knew it would be, long
time before Will had another silk um-
brella. But it will be far longer before
he will forget the satisfaction growing
out of the result of the hard-fought bat
tie with himself a satisfaction 70 be
tasted with every remembrance Of his

THE SUEZ CANAL.
A Ditch in the Desert About One Hundred
Miles Long.

A Ditch in the Desert About One Hundred
Miles Long.
The Suez canal is about one hundred
miles long. 1t is one-twelfth the length
of the Red Sea, into which it conducts
the waters of the Mediterranean, and
these two bodies of water are nearly of
the same level. They now flow into
one another without docks, and the
canal is we'll described as ditch in the
desert. The ditch is about three hun
dred feet wide at the top and one hun
dred and fifty feet wide at the bottom,
and the water within it is as quiet as a
mill-pond. 1t is of beautiful sea-green,
and the contrast of this color with the
bare yellow sands which line
the banks of the canal makes it won
derfully beautiful. The canal is so
narrow that ships can pass only
at certain points. The average depth is
about "a feet, and many of the ships
which pass through are more than 20
feet deep in the water. There is so lit
tie water under the bottoms that there
can be no great speed.
thirsty sand. In some places they arc
kept back by payeWents Of stone and
others by a network Of tvirs like the
ietties OF the Mississippi. 1t cost nearly
500, O00, 900 to build the canal One Of
the great problems in making the canal
was fresh water for the WorImen. The
work was begun in 1858 and the ruler Of
Egypt provided 5000 laborers. They
were relieved every three months, but it
was necessary to feed them. 1t took
1000 water casks, which were carried on
the backs of camels, to supply them with
drinking water, and this was kept up
for five years. At the end of that time
8 fresh-water canal was arranged so that
water was carried from the Nile to
Ismailia, and there is now pipe which
runs the whole length of the canal, and
which carries fresh water from one end
of it to the other.
The work of building harbors at Port
Said and Suez was very expensive, and
l took look at the piers at Port Saids
These piers are made of artificial stone
composed of desert sand and cement.
The machinery to make them was
brought here from France, and the stones
were made to throw into the sea. Each
stone weighed twenty tons, and it took
$500 of these massive rocks to form the
bases of these piers. On the top of this
foundation the piers were built.-Cor. N.

HEALTH INVENTIONS.

One That Has the Merit OF Appealing 70
the Common Sense.
All sorts OF health inventions have
come into vogue during the last half
dozen years. Some Of them may be
recommended as useful, and others
should be condemned from every side.
The general desire to possess beautiful
complexion, good looks, perfectly-devel-
oped forms, have led many to invent
methods of treatment that would guar
antee all the desired p Vsical beauties.
Probably the question OF reducing ones
weight has excited more general inter
est than any thing else, and as many
methods as there are days in the month
have been suggested and inflicted upon
the public, for the ostensible purpose Of
reducing corpulency. Here is one,
however, that has the merit of appealing
to the common sense if it has no other
value. Corpulency is usually denoted
by an increased girth of the waist, and
not by swelling muscles and limbs.
The fat accumulates around the
waist, and gives a very unnat-
ural and ungraceful appearance. Sweat

result would be satisfactory. To do
this, obtain a porous flannel bandage
that will cover the body from the hips
to the lower part of the breast bone.
This should be easy fitting, but not
tight. 1t should be worn next to the
skin, and flannel shirt worn over 1t.

PATIENTS Pain.
It was about two o'clock of a chill
morning when Mr.. X. presented himself
at the door of doctor in the village of
W., after a series of laundering knocks
at the door with good deal of vigorous
exercise upon the bell handle, succeeded
in bringing that gentleman to the win

'What is it?" asked the doctor.
"Do you pull teeth?" Mr.. X de-

"Then 1 want a tooth pulled"

"Come back in the morning!" ejacu-
lated Mr. X. "What do you take me
for. Here I've been in torment for
these two DAYS, and for the last two
hours I've been hunting all over this
confounded town after dentist, and
now I'd like to have the job done at once
if there is any way to fix it,"
The dentist at first demurred, but at
last he consented to come down and get
the tooth out at once; and after a due
interval in which he made his hasty
toilet, Mr.. x. was admitted TO the
house. The chill of the night was
everywhere, but X. was too intent upon
getting rid of the troublesome molar to
mind that, and he was duly installed in
the operating chair and an examination
made.
"Hold on there" X. said, as the dem
tist, having satisfied himself which was
the troublesome tooth, took up his
forceps and prepared for work. ~ want

''Well," the dentist answered, ''the
gas is little low, but, if you insist will
give you what there is. 1t will deaden
the pain, though very likely you will
feel it some"
The conventional breathing tube of
black rubber was produced, and X pro-
ceeded to inhale for dear life. For
moment the dentist allowed him to
pump his lungs full from the gas reser-
voir, and then, taking the breathing
tube away, he quickly whipped in his
forceps and whipped out the tooth.

when he was able to get his mouth in
condition which allowed him to speak.

thetically. ''Not much, L hope?"
''Not SO very much" X. replied. 'Still,
knew when it came"
When, moment later, X. prepared to
pay his bill, and asked the price, he was
surprised to be told sum which was so
small that it seemed that mistake must
have been made.
''But is that all you ask for admins

''Oh, bless you," was the smiling an

THE RENEWAL OF LiFE.
The Road to ANY Kind of Greatness Lies
Through the Commonplace.

| The Road to ANY Kind of Greatness Lies
Through She Commonplace.
| There is an element of romance in
almost every successful life--that pro-
! foundly interesting romance which lies
in expansion out of small things into
great ones. There is nothing which so
profoundly interests men as the story Of
the development of genuine life into
usefulness and power. 1t is story illus
trated and described generation after
generation, and yet the interest in it is
more widespread and more intense than
ever before. The most commonplace
men recognize an element in human life
which they find in others if not in them
selves, which has in it the power and
the charm of something mysterious,
something of which the man himself
! is not fully aware; something which
is continually leading him to places
which he did not expect to reach, and
putting into his hand prizes which he
did not expect to win. There is some
thing magical in the change of position
from obscure and unframed boyhOOd to
fame, power and that force of manhood
and to which all opportunities are pre-
sented. AS we read these brilliant
stories we often forget that from the
chief actors the splendid outcome was
concealed. The man of genius, of ar
tistic talent, of any sort of gift, works
along quietly from day to day, often
feeling that nothing remains but the
raEeling out of life. when unexpectedly
some new impulse srirs him TO JLe
depths, some new occasion c.okesa anew
, power, some new opportunity offers the
one thing that was needed TO bring out
all there was in him.
The road 70 any kind of greatness lies
through tle commonplace. Those who
walk it often see nothing before them
but the dead level of daily work; it is
only at intervals that the road suddenly
ascends the mountain-side and the world
sweeps into view. 1t is these splendid
moments, however, in the mans career
which attract us, and which we see; the
long, arduous, often monotonous, every
day journey is hidden from US. And this
is true, not only of men who attain the
most eminent success, but of those who

the most part, must be made up of what,
for the lack of clearer insight, we call
drudgery; which is really discipline
and training of all that is highestand best

feel that nothing remains but this dead
level of hard work, that no new doors
are to open before us and no new prizes
to be gained; but no man who is work.
ing intelligently and faithfully ever
loses the power of growth, and the con-
sequent expansion of life which comes
with it. 1t happens again and again to
all of us that, at the very moment when
theoutlook seems most uninspiring, there
suddenly comes new piece of work or
a new opportunity which brings back
the freshness of our spirit, the ioy of
our labor, and makes us feel that we
have taken long step forward. To
those who are faithful life continually
renews itself, not only in opportunities,
but in its promise and its rewards. -,

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
ALEXANDER'S FUN.

Twas horrible! the image
Which lighted up the place.
Twas an ugly pumpkin lantern,
With a shocking, shocking face,
Surely the boys who made il
Had no thought of form OF grace.
''NOw, Tom" said Alexander,
'Let's put it on this post,
And those girls viii think for certain
They've seen first-class ghost;
And 1 think know for certain
Which one twill frighten most.
"For Jenny, she's so timid,
She's afraid of every thing,
And / think that this may shock her
And some sense to her may bring.
For of all the ugly images
This lantern is the king"
And then they stopped their talking
And listened, and could hear
Out in the distant darkness
Girlish voices, sweet and clear.
Then said Tom to Alexander:
'Now they are coming near"
They came, and timid Jenny
Gave enc awful, frightened cry.
She almost seemed to fly,
And she reached her mothers bosom
Ready, as they feared, to die.
All night in strong commissions
The lovely sister lay,
And the watchers by her bedside
Almost feared the coming day,
Lest when the night departed
She, too, would go away.
at dawn the little maiden
Was lying still and white,
And twas long ere she recovered
From the illness of that night.
She never quite recovered
From her terrible alright.
Pumpkin lanterns in their places
May be very harmless fun,
But all joking that is practical
Is better left undOne,
Lest in our zeal for pleasure
We may injure any one.
And a boy or girl who's timid
You can't frighten out of it,
And if you try to do it
You show no sense, nor wit;
And joking that is practical
Isn't funny-2ot bit.
So pumpkin lantern image
Now will Alexander shun;
And he often thinks with shUdders,
OF what he might have done
When he sacrificed his sister
To his eagerness for fun.
