4 story of Dom Pedro.

DR.. Stellwag, the famous oculist, while
lecturlng to his students at Vienna, told
pretty story of Dom Pedro, of Brazil
lie said that he had had many opportu-
mites of conversing with the ex-Em-
peror, a man of the highest character
and of great culture, whose heart and
mind were always filed with plans for
improving the condition of his people.
1t was one of his dearest wishes to have
big hospital in RIO, but he lacked the
money wherewith to build it, and the
wealthy could not be induced to sub
scribe. Then an idea came to him, as it
had to the Emperor Joseph nearer home,
and he began to bestow titles. Any man
who was willing to give a good, round
sum to the hospital could call himself
Count, Viscount or Baron. The patent
of nobility was not hereditary, and II
the children wished to inherit the ia
theirs title, they had to pay over again.
Rio was suddenly peopled with mobiles,
and the hospital was built on a grand
scale; and when it was completed Dom
Pedro had the following inscription
placed over its gates: "Vanitas Humane
Miserim Human@" (Human Vanity to

A Severe Criticism tassed Upon an Amer
lean Artists Powers.
It is often said that while the lam
guages Of the world are so varied, the
meaning Of pictures is understood every
where; and there are many stories Of
artists who have been able to help
themselves in cases where they did not
know the speech of country, by draw
ing what they wanted and showing the
picture. A well known artist, who has
recently been in Cuba, tells of little
experience which shows that this rule
has it's exceptions.
He was in Havana. and got up one
morning very early in order to see the
fish market, which from the variety of
tropical fish sold there is an interesting
place. He was tempted by the exquisite
Softness of the morning air to a walk,
but after going few blocks it occurred
to him that he should be late for the
opening of the market, and he called a
carriage.
The driver knew no English, and the
artist, who had hitherto given his orders
through the hotel clerk, knew no Span
!sh For some time the artist tried to
make the driver understand where he
wished to go, lot of Spanish-speaking
men gathering to assist in the talk; but
as he made no Roadway, he at last
Whipped out his tablets and quickly drew
first fish and then house.
The crowd of Cubans closed around him
as he chastity made these sketches,
every man of them talking with the
greatest earnestness. When he finished
there was more talking than ever, and
he remembered afterward that the
crowd looked at him strangely. He was
invited by signs to enter the carriage,
and away he drove at rafting pace
congra tulating himself upon his clever
ness.
Presently the carriage drew up before
building upon which to his astonish-
ment he saw the American flag. The
driver jumped down and rushed into it,
coming back almost Immediately drag

recognized as the clerk of the American
Consul, to whom the driver was talking

What does he say?" demanded the
artist, who saw that something was
wrong.
HE says" answered the clerk, who
in turn recognized the artist, that he
has found an American lunatic loose in
the streets, and he wants me to take
care of you"
The artist was enough of humorist
to laugh at the situation, but he de-
clared that he had never before had so
severe criticism upon his artistic

Courtesy IN the Household.

To abbreviate and neglect the forms
of politeness is really to diminish the
sentiments and the needs of the heart.
AS soon as one ceases to express out
wardly even the most essential senti-
ments, these sentiments become weak
ened to certain degree in the soul;
they lose something OF their delicacy
and of their energy. The cultivation of
the forms of politeness must be begun in
family life between husbands and wives,
parents and children, brothers and sis
tiers. Till courtesy is honored in the
household it will not appear elsewhere.

saints that when other people attempt

than II they had not got in, because
tney could say they had not broken one
OF the covenants they had made, lie
thanked God he lived among such peo.
pie, those who were not afraid OF the
consequences and took their punishment
like heroes. The time is coming when
this conduct OF the Latter Day saints
would stand out.as the brightest page in
modern history. Their suflerings would
DO acceptable to the Lord. Cannon
iurther said the saints would obey the
laws and bow in submission to the
Nations will, and leave the consequences
with the Lord. He told the people not
to worry about 1891; that Christ would
not come then,
IN the afternoon President Woodruff
spoke. He said the Lord is about to
prune his vineyard for the last time. and
that sprouts would fall like grain before
