all was amelierated, and hope sprang
high in the hearts Of these hitherto
departing people. Then came a
time when, in several instances, the
doctors wishes and mine were put
aside; some Of our patients were made
to work by the Luna, in III utterly un-
fit condition; one, indeed, who had
had strong fever, was 50 thrown
back. that he nearly lost his life.
Lastly, we heard from the patients
that the Luna and the agent had been
speaking against the doctor and my
self, trying to prejudice the people
aud do us harm. We complained to
the Board of Health, as the matter
became more serious; they seemed
unwilling to take any steps in the
matter. A native gentleman, repre-
sentative of the people in the lepis-
lative asse mbly, took up the matter
and brought It before the house. A
committee from the house visited the
hospital three days, and took down
voluminous evidence which was
printed in a report. They found tina.
the Luna was unworthy OF his Office,
and should be Immediately removed,
as also the sgent Of the Board of
Health. This was not done. The
president Of the Board of Health was
removed from his office.
For some unaccountable reason Of
their own, they upheld the Luna and
the agent, and there was nothing left
but for the doctor aud myself to re-
sign. it being impossible to work any
longer under the then existing cir>
cumstances. And so, with an aching
heart, we left the people, with all the
more sorrow that their lives had been
SO bright with hope before, as one of
them said IN his speech before the
committee Of the legislative assembly:
"There never has been such doctor
before in these islands; there never
has been woman who has cared so
for the lepers."

How to Handle q Colt.

The colt will learn more easily when
six moHths old than when a year old.
1t can also be controlled more easily.
Hence it is wise to handle the colt
early. Its early training should not
stop with breaking to halter 1t
should be handled until any part ofits
body or limbs can be rubbed; until
It ia accustomed to The bride, and
until it will drive as we'll as lead. To
teach 1t all this, and to keep it from
forgetting what it has learned, is a
little trouble, but if the colt is Of good
stock the trouble is we'll paid for.

late novels, discusses the morals and
manners OF society young ladies of
the present day after the following
fashion. 1t was at d garden party

A WORD FOR THE PRINCE.

1t is the proper thing just now to
kick the Prince of Wales. The es-
tablished Church kicks him because he
is expected to one day be Its recog-
nzed head, and the Church cannot
approve of gambling; the Noncon-
formlsts kick him for the same reason.
with the added incentive that they are
opposed to the established Church on
principle ; the Liberals in politics are
making the most of their opportuni-
ties, and the Conservatives are kicking,
with good reason, because the Liberals
have been given such chance against
them. In this country the Pricce IS
roundly denounced. partly because he
deserves censure on his own account,
and partly because, despite the foolish
aping of aristocracy by few, there is
still a vigorous and wholesome con
tempt for royalty among the masses of
the people. The Prince undoubtedly
deserves censure-perhaps all he is re-
ceiving-but there are some conditions
in his case which do not appear to
have been greatly considered Royalty
is an accident of birth, and not proof
or mark of difference in the mental
or physical characteristic of human
| beings, and we IN this country, who
claim that all men are created equal,
have no right to be surprised because
one man proves to be like thousands of
others. The Prince was bright, active
boy. and this fact was noted with pride
and pleasure in his boyhood. Having
the natural propensities of other boys,
and not feeling the restraint Of short
funds or the necessity for prudence,
having nothing to do but to bear what
hono1s he had and wait for more, being
constantly in the company of men Of
sporting propensities, with less chance
to choose his companions than a boy
| in humble station would have, 1t is
really less surprising that he is where
he is now than it would have been had
he restrained his propensitles for ex
element when he left the care of his
tutor and settled down into an aimlesS,
useless model of perfection. If the
Prince had neglected any occupation
which he was required to follow, if
there had been regular employment
which his station would have per
mitted him to engage in, there might
have been some chance to criticiSe his
choice. But he has really had no
| chance. There was no chance for
political ambition to engage his mind
and energies for his destiny was fixed,
and there was no necessity for his
working his way up. He simply had
the propensites of common men with
out their opportunities TO restrain and
direct them, and the blame which is
now heaped upon him should at least
be equally divided with the system of
government which has produced him.

THE HUMAN FIGURE.

From the crown to the nape OF the
neck is one Twelfth the stature Of the
perfectly formed man.
Ire hand from the wrist to the end
of the middle finger is one-tenth OF the
total height OF man of perfect pro.
portions.
A man OF good proportions is as tall
as the distance between the tips of his
fingers when both arms are extended at
full length.
The face, from the highest point of
the forehead where the hair begins to
the end of the chin, is one-tenth, of
the whole stature of the man of perfect
mold.
If the face, from the roots of the
hair to the chm, be divided into three
equal parts the first division determines
the place where the eyebrows should
meet, the second the opening OF the
nostrils, if perfectly formed.
The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the right
foot. Whether the form is slender or
plump the rule holds good on an
average. Any deviation from the rule
is departure from the beauty of pro-
portion. 1t is claimed that the Greeks
made all their statutes according to this
rule.

YOUNG AMERICAS FOURTH.

We put him to bed in his little night-gOwn
The worst battered youngster there was in the
town,
fet he yelled as he opened his only well eye,
"Rah, rah, for the Jolly old Fourth OF July"
Two thumbs and eight fingers with cloths were
tied up,
On his head was bump like an upside down cup
And he smiled as he best could with nose all
awry,
I've had just the bOssest Fourth of July"
We were glad, for he had been up with the sun,
Right into the midst of the powder and fun,
Where the boom of the cannon sent its smoke tC
the sky,
Young America like, was his Fourth Of July.
l said, We were glad all the pieces were there,
So we plastered and bound them with tenderes
care,
But out of the wreck came the words with a
sigh,
IF to-morrer was only the Fourth OF July
He will grow altogether again, never lear,
And be ready to celebrate freedom next year,
But tho it is selfish, we're thankful there lies
crackerless twslvemonth twixt Fourth of Julys
We kissed him good night on his powder specked
place,
And he murmured, as sleep closed his one opeI
eye
81 wish every day was the Fourth of July"

AMERICAN HOG PRODUCTS.

The official adviceS to the State De
partment indicate that within few
weeks the present structures against
American pork in both Germany and
France will be abolished, both these
Governments finding it virtually i'm
possible to MAINTAIN with any plausible
excuse their opposition to the admis-
sion of American hog products to their
respective markets, in view of the
operation of the new meat inspection
law. Under this law it is impossible
for diseased or tainted meat to be eX-
ported to Europe. Meats NUT be
thoroughly inspected at the place
where they are packed, or, failing this
at the place of expectation and by
branding or stamping each box ol

Government makes itself responsible

BARBARA'S SEVERE TEST.

What is it?
There is an old coffin upstairs. II

it; but the devil came Tor his body,
and left the coffin empty at the end
of week, and it was finally taken
from the tomb. 1t is upstairs in the
room my grandfather died in, and
they say grandsire does not rest easy
in his grave for some reason, though
that l know nothing about. Dare
you make that coffin your bed to,
night?
Earnest laughed.
Is that all? l will that, and sleep
soundly. Why, pretty one, did you
think had weak nerves!
Good night, then l will send a lac
to show you the chamber, said I'M
perious Miss Barbara.
Ernest turned straightway and fol
lowed the lad in waiting through
dim rooms and passages up echoine
stairs, along narrow, damp ways
where rats scuttled before them, tc
low chamber. The boy looked
pale and scared and evidently want
ed to hurry away, but Ernest made
him wait until he had taken survey
of the room by the aid Of his lamp
1t was very large and full ofrecesses
with high windows in them; which
were barred across. He remember
ed that old Grandsire Ferros hac
been insane for several years before
death, so the precaution had beer
necessary for the safety of hlmsel
and others. In the centre OF th'
room stood coffin; besides it wa
placed chair. The room was 9th
erwise perfectly empty
Earnest stretched himself in th'
coffin.
Be good enough to tell Mis-
Barbara that it's a very good fit
said he.

1t has been remarked that, in gen.
eral persons chose to unite themselves
in matrimony to a partner the most
opposite in every point, moral and
physical. Generally speaking, indeed,
it seems as if every man, upon inll-
mate acquaintance, became heartily
sick of his own self, and married a
person as unlike the disagreeable
original as possible.

reaches the following philosophical
conclusion BY what right should |
aspire to marry a woman better than
MYSELF 1t is quite clear. chance
having brought to my ears the con
versation of these young girls. that
the ideal occupies only small space
in their thoughts but does it enter
more into mine? Finally, a man
ought to be satisfied with such a wife
as he may deserve. Do | hope to
find romance in my marriageo Not
bringing one myself to the altar, l
fail to see why | should find one
there. What men look most Tor in
marriage is propriety, comfortable
life, respectability legitimate descent
and a good table and there is not
one of these amiable young ladies
who would not be fully capable of
gratifying me. Young lady readers
may exclaim horrid wretch ! but the
latter part is true, nevertheless.
Although woman have not the in
expense advantages of men in the
matter of dress they are gaining every
day in this respect AT the present
time it is rot necessary to have an
extensive wardrobe, and those who
have talent for home dressmaking
can appear tastefully attired at a
small outlay. A neat cloth suit
plainly made up, suitable for pic
MICS, boating or rambles in the coun-
try, two gingham dresses for morn
ing and house wear, and a china or
surah silk for evening wear. together
with white dress and one of
diaphanous material, will be found
sufficient for the summer season and
eminently suitable for a few weeks
visit to the seashore or country. OF
course women have besides costumes
the added expense of gloves, neck
wear, hats and other accessories,
such as flowers, ribbons and laces.
There are no doubt many women
who cannot afford the wardrobe
mentioned above. Such had better
contine themselves to the cloth and
gingham dresses than spend the
price of both for snowy silk, which
would have to be worn upon all oc-
casions, whether suitable or not. A
pretty gi1l never looks better than in
neat cotton dress, and this class OF
goods now come in such lovely
colors and designs that they fairly
rival the expensive silks and grena-
dimes, and indeed when tasteiully
made up it is difficult to distinguish
between them One good featu e of
the cotton fabric is that it can be
successfully laundri ed, and the wearer
is not annoyed at trifling mishap
to such costume as would have
been the case should it happen to be
more expensive dress.
