The Greatest Storm Ever Heard OF on
Lake Ontario.

A party of yach,smen were becalmed out
on Lake Ontario last Sunday afternoon, says
the Rochester Democrat, and while waiting
for breeze the time was occupied in spin
ming yarns.
There were two or three old salts on board
and they did all the spinning, while the
younger and Iless experienced tars sat and
smoked and listened. Finally one of the old
salts took his pipe from between his teeth
long enough to draw breath and said:
"You fellows give me pain talking about
big storms. Why, was out in a storm in
the summer of SO that was so much bigger
than any that you fellows have ever seen that
they are like cats paws compared to it."
Then he stopped and began industriously
to draw upon his pipe again.
"Tell US about it" said the young fellows in
chorus.
sit was in the month of July in the year
1869, and was out on the lake in yacht of
mine," he said, after pausing long enough to
fill his pipe afresh and light it, land the wind
began to get pretty fresh. paid but little
attention to it, but it kept blowing fresher
and fresher, and one of my crrw asked if we
had not better shorten sail.
II thought that there was no danger, and
said that there was time enough. All of a
sudden the wind began to blow harder than
l ever saw it in this latitude, and we all be-
gan to get badly scared. ] gave orders to
take in sail, but before the men could lay
hand on rope big puff came and away
went the sails into ribbons.
There we were in the middle of the lake
with no sails, and the situation began to look
desperate. How we were going to get in l
did not know, but the very storm itself fur
nished US way and we rode safely to shore"
Here he stopped and began to smoke.
"How did you get in ," asked the young
est sailor of the lot.
why" said the old salt, "the wiod blew
SO hard that it blew the ropes cut flat, and
they served for Sails"

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Doctor Chalmers beautifully says: The
little that have seen in the world and know
of mankind, teaches me to look upon their
errors in sorrow, not in anger. When take
the history of one poor heart that has sinned
and suffered, and represent to myself the
struggles and temptations it passes through
the brief pulsations of joy, the tears of re-
gret, the feebleness of purpose, the scorn of
the world that has little charity, the desola-
ton of the souls sanctuary, and threatening
voices within, health gone, happiness gone
came"

PandOra'S Box.

Pandora was the first won an on earth, &C.
cording to the Greeks. The name means
''all gifted" Aphrodite (Venus) gave her
beauty, Hermes (Mercury) gave her boldness
aud cunning, and each of the gods gave her
some gift by which she should bring misery
to man. Her husband had a jar in his house,
which Pandora opened from it escaped all
the miseries and ills of mankind. Pandora
closed it again just in time to prevent Hope
from escaping also. According to later
writers Pandora brought down with her from
Heaven box given by the gods with instruc-
tions not to open it; her curiosity overcsme
her, and she opened it with the result above
described. Later writer's say that the box
contained blessings for msokind, and all OF
them escaped except Hope.

Fate of the JaniZarieS.

The recent report of the death of the last of
thejanizaries in Russia at the age ofupward OF
80 years, calls to mind one of the most dread
ed organizations of men the world has ever
known. The janizari,s were the troops with
which Turkey fought her battles in Europe
during the centuries before This. They were
were originally The children OF Christian par
ents, captured ny the Turks, and reared iii the
faith of Islam.
By the Muhammedan law Il fifth part of
the captives, as well az at the spoil, belong ed
to the Caliph, the Prophets succ ssor.-
Under this law the SULTAN claimed for him
self the fifth part of the healthy male chill
dren who had been taken captive in the
European wars. These children become
Mohammedan. They were trained for mill
tary service; they were granted special pri-
vileges the highest places in the State were
open to them, and they were made their
sovereign's body guard"
The beginning of the present century
brought an end to The successful career of
these janizaries. They persisted in the use
of their obsolete weapons and old fashioned
tactics, and could not cope with the artillery
nor match the modern maneuvers of the regi-
ments of Austria and Russia. Attempted re-
forms were fanalically resisted. The intro
duction of Russian tactics brought on an open
revolt in Constantinople June 25, 1885,
The jsnizaries were gathered in one of the
public squares of the city. They numbered
10000 desperate men. They were ignorant
OF the designs of the government, and had
gotten themselves, as it were, into trap.
The first iniimation they had that they
were doomed was shower of grape-shot from
the artillery. They were hemmed in by
soldiery ON every side. The gates of the city
were closed, and were kept closed for two
days, that the work of destruction might be
ascomplete as possible. More than this, orders
were sent through all the provinces COM
handing the death of any who might have
escaped from the city. Fifteen thousand
were killed and 10000 were expatriated, and
the janizaries were abolished.
What a recollection of that time the las,
survivor, whose death is just recently report
ed, must have carried with him for the three
score and two years since

While stationed in Richmond Barracks, in
Dublin, along with detachment of the Dub

that corps got strict orders to present arms

Heroes Who Will Not Work.

Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, be-
fore leaving for Cannes, summonedth
fighting men of several districts and
addressed them in thefollowing terms;
"You are heroes, all of you, but you
will not work. Our country would be
as rich as it is glorious if you would
devote the same ardor to the produc-
tive works OF peace rs you do to the
destructive labOrs OF war. | waited
for you to recognize yourselves that
men must work, but as | have waited
long in vain | now direct that every
Montenegrin soldier who lives where
vines can be grown shall plant this
year 200 vines. Commanders of bri-
gades shall plant 20, commanders of
battalions 10, officers of lower rank )
| and non-commissioned officers l olive
tree apiece. and whoever shall volun-
tarily plant 1000 vines this year
shall be exempt from taxes for ten
years"
The 'heroes' made wry faces over
the matter, but a command Is a COM
mand. and they are now busy at the
degrading occupation OF husbandry.
The Gazette calculates that the 4th
brigade alone will next spring plant
500 1000 vines, 1,12O olive trees and
that the whole army will enrich Mon
tenegro with 1000, 900 vines and 90,
600 olive trees. Nothing could be
more significant of the change that
has come over the spirit OF the times.

Kangaroos to be Imported.

The Helena Independent is assured
on what seemsgood authority that the
project of importing kangaroos into
this country is seriously entertained
bv several enthusiastic and wealthy
sportsmen of the west. The animals
have been successfully acclimated in
England and France, and we are as
sured that there is no reason why
they should not thrive here. The
practical extinction of the buffalo has
left the plains without any big game
of Importance, and the experienced
sportsmen declare that hunting the
kangaroo, as practiced in Australia, is
second in excitement to killing the
buffalo. The scheme is not without
commercial Importance. Kangaroo
leather is a very valuable product.
and the animals breed rapidly. The
promoter hope to be privileged to In

A Sensible ~PreCaution.

You ask me why l inquired your ad-
dress when writing out the prescrip-

at once commend itself to every sensi-
BILE mind, and is simply this: There
nave been cases innumerable where
lives might have been saved had the
number OF the residence OF the party
for whom the prescription was put up
been known to the druggist. For, as
we all know, mistakes are made even
in themost reliabled drug stores through
thecarelessness of clerks. Not longago
a druggist found, on returning from
supper, that Il bottle of strychnine
was on the counter, and asked the
reason why.
The clerk replied that he had just
been putting up a prescription, and
was Mortified when he found that he
had made use of strychnine instead of
some less harmful drug mentioned in
the prescription. The frightened
young fellow did not even know the
name OF the person who had come for

Something for Boys.

Science gives thefollowing significant
aacts concerning the results OF smok-
ing by boys: SIN an experimental OBJ
servation of t~hirty-eight boys of all
classes of society and of average
health, who had been using tobacco
for a period ranging from two months
to two years, twenty-seven showed Sc
we're injury to the constitution and in
sufficient growth: thirty-two theexist-
ence of irregularity of the hearts &C
gtion, disordered stomachs, cough, and
a craving for alcohol; thirteen had in
termittency of the pulse, and one had

doned the use of tobacco, within six
months time one-half were free from
all their former symptoms, and
the remainder had recovered by the
end of the year"

The Hen and the Baby.

Once upon a time, long ago, there
was an old-fashioned farmhouse with
a very large kitchen.
This kitchen had two doors, one
opening into the yard, and one into
the orchard, where the hens were
sometimes let out to scratch about.
One morning there was q dear little
baby girl sitting on the floor right in
the middle of the room, where she
could play with her spools and look
out of doors at the same time. On
one side she. could look out into the
yard and study the big pump, and on
the other she could watch hechickens
running about under the apple-trees.
When no one was at the pump she
liked the chickens best, and tried to
call them to her.
One day the little brown hen came
up to the door and looked in. All was
still. She could see no II but the
brewn-eyed baby sitting flat on her
blanket
stDa! da!" said baby.
"Cuck! eluck,," said the little brown
ben.
..Da! da!" squealed little brown-eyes,
shaking her spools in delight.
The little brown hen cooked head
on one side and looked at baby's little
red boots with the black buttons on
them.
4NThey are good to eat" she con
eluded, and hoped a little nearer, and
then a little nearer, until she came at
last to the little red shoes-and soon
she was tugging at them with her bill,
irving in vain to get them off.

All "FuSt Glass;"

Some one has said that frankness
about unpleasant facts in regard to
one another invariably marks the con
versation Of relatives, and it certainly
is often true.
A Vermont farmer had three sons
for whose benefit he had worked hard
and denied himself that they might
have the education which he had lack
ed. The two older sons made the
most of their advantages, and in the
course of time entered honorable pro-
LESSONS and were great sources ofpride
to their old father.
The youngest was a handsome, ca
silly influenced boy, and on his final re-
turn from college he had developed in
to what is called a dude, with many
airs and little common sense. He re-
garded the farm and everything about
it with a high disdain, yet he seemed
to have no inclination to seek employ
ment of any sort away from home.
His father was bitterly disappointed
in him, but said little to the foolish
young fellow, who one day overheard
q conversation between his father
and an old friend from the city, which
fortunately had d salutary effect on
him.
"Well, Mr.. Adams" said the old
friend, "you have three sons, l know;
what are they all doing?"
"John," replied Mr.. Adams with
pride, "he's goingto be administer, and
a fust rate one, too, if l do say it; and
Fred, he calculates to be a lawyer, and
| guess there won't be many smarter
in this part of the country"
"And how about James," inquired
the friend.
"Well, as to James," responded the
farmer dryly, 'he's my son to be. sure;
but if James don't meet with no seri-
Gus drawbacks | think likely he'll
make q fust class idiot some day!"-
