Youthful Depravity.

Carl and Ruth, brother and sister, aged 9
and 4, are known to their immediate rela-
tivss and to good many besides as 'terrors. "
The other afternoon they were engaged in
a very promising sparring contest, when their
mother interviewed with some violence, took
both contestants by the collar and set them
down sharply on the floor, one on one side of
the fireplace and the other on the other side.
Then she seated herself between them.
"Therel" she exclaimed; "now stay there,
exactly where you are, and forbid you to
make soundl"
There was something unusually peremptory,
perhaps, in this treatment, and for few
moments the "terrors" were cowed Carl sat
silent, blinking and looking puzzled. His
mother would have sworn that he was study

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore is woman who
talks because she cannot help it. She has
something to say, and she says it royalty.
The knowledge of the gift which she possesses
came to her quite accidentally, and not until
she had lived her life, as most women live it,
and had had the experiences which had broad
ened her into the woman which she is, and
made her ready for the work that was to be
put into her hands to do.
She had no ambition to become public
speaker; she had no thought about it at all
she stumbled into it, She was in the work of
the sanitary commission, one of the active
workers down in the hospitals and on the
battle fields Of the southwest and her heart
was full Of the needs and wants of the boys.
She came north for supplies, and it became
necessary for her to tell the story of her need.
Then, and only then, came to her the knowl-
edge OF this wonderful gift, which since then
has not been withheld from the world. BIOS

Shaking Hands with q Lion.

An English writer tells how he shook hands
with lion when he was a boy:
The menagerie was especially famous for
its lions They were indeed noble beasts, but
crowded together in travelling vans, where
their discomfort was not likely to improve
their tempers. All round the vans ran rope
chain to keep everybody at reasonable dis.
lance from the claws and beaks of the wild
inmates. managed to smuggle myself un.
der this rope undetected by the keepers.
A magnificent old lion lay stretched at full
length, with one paw outside his den. A sud
den thought struck me that it would be a fine
thing to shake hands with that lion. 1t was
by no means the sort of thing to be done every
day 1t would place me in proud position
among the boys Of the town.
In moment laid my hand on the top Of
the outstretched paw. 1t was smooth and
somewhat velvety, and the lion lay perfectly
still, appearing not to mind me in the least.
1t is not unlikely that might have gone
on to complete the operation of handshaking,
but all at once felt the cut of whip across
my face.
i started back with the pain and looked
round. At that instant the keeper came up
and spoke to me very civilly. He was very
sorry to have hurt mo, he said, but in all
probability the lion would have torn my
hand of, and this was his only way Of making
me start back
did not feel SO grateful to the man at that
moment as / have done ever since.-Phila-
