THE FAITHFUL FRIENDa.
A Wise Father and . Son Whs VS. o.
pabls OF Learning.

When Abdallah had reached a goGA
old age he called his ten sons TO his
side, and told them that he had ac-
CURED fortune by industry and econ
omy. and would give them one hum
dred gold pieces each before his death.
80 that they might begin business for
themselves. 1t happened, however,
that soon after, he lost portion OF
his property, and had only nine hun
dred and fifty gold pieces left So he
gave ono hundred TO each OF his nine
sons When his youngest son whom
ne loved moot OF all, asked what was
TO be his share, he replied:
MY son, promised to give each
of thy brothers one hundred gold
pieces. ] have fifty left. Thirty /
will reserve for my funeral expenses,
and twenty will be thy portion. Ipos-
sess, in addition, ten friends, whom I
give over to thee as compensation for
thy loss OF the eighty gold pieces; and
they are worth all the gold and silver"
The man died in u few days and the
nine sons took their money, and with
out thought OF their youngest broth
err, folio we'd each his own fancy. But
the Youngest son, although his portion
was she least resolved to heed his
fathers words, and hold fast to the
ten friends So after a while he pre-
pared modest feast, went to the ten
friends OF his father and said to them:
My father asked me to keep you, his
friends in honor. Before ] leave this
place to seek my fortune elsewhere
will you not share with me a farewell
meal?"
The ten men accepted his invitation
with pleasure and enjoyed the repast;
and when the moment for parting ar
rived. one OF them rose and spoke:
MY friends, it seems to me that Of all
the sons Of our dear friend that has
gone, the youngest alone is mindful OF
his fathers friendship for us. Let US
then be true friends to him. and pro-
vide for him generous sum that he
may begin business here"
The proposal was received with ap-
plause. The youth was proud OF their
gift OF friendship and soon became q
prosperous merchant, who never for
got that good friends were more valu-
able than gold or silver. and who left
an honored name TO his descendants

The steamship company reports
that since the treaty went into effect
they have had to charter three extra
steamers besides their regular sail
ings, and that every ship, without
exception, has gone out fill. The
shipment of machinery for the man
ufacturers of sugar have been greater
than ever known before. They re-
port that the leading provision mer-
chant in Havana estimates that when
the treaty provision as to the reduc
ton of duty on flour takes place
January l next, the imports from the
United States to Cuba will reach
100000 barrels per annum, OF
more than double the present total
consumption. Judging from present
indications the company anticipates
that when the treaty is fully in force
it will have to increase the number
of its saillngs or largely increase the
capacity of its ships.

Innocence.

IN bonuy Scotland, cross the sea,
Upon Summers day,
A little lass trudged merrily
Along the public way.
And for the first time in her life
This happy peasant lass
Gazed on the world beyond her home
In yonder mountain pass.
With beaming face and happy song
She tripped on toward the town
And reached the borough turnpike gate
Long ere the sun went down.
she gently tapped upon the gate,
Afraid to pass it by,
And waited patiently without
For some one to reply.
And when the good old gateman came,
With body long and lean,
She asked, pray, will you tell me, sir
Am at Aberdeen
That's where you are, my bonny lass"
He answered with grin.
Then can you tell me, sir" she said,

Making Reyuard Useful.

A new use for foxes has been found
IN Sable island, which has exemplified
in its time several curious vicissitudes
OF animal population. The island Is
as overstocked with rabbits as New
Zealand itself. These animals were in
troduced at the beginning OF the cent
dry for the benefit OF the life saving
stat which constitutes the whole popu-
lation OF that wreck-strewn island.
Once the rabbits were DIFFERENTIATED by
cast-away rats and again by flock OF
Arctic owls. A third time the rabbits
were introduced, and now have so In
creased that there will be no grass left
for the cattle and ponies unless some
thing is done. 1t has now been decid-
ed 20 import a number OF foxes, with
the hope that they will keep down or
kill OF the rabbits without themselves
becoming . nuisance

When Congressman Horn some
years ago advised the south, if il
wished to prosper, to raise more hogs
and less hell he meant in a general
way that if the south would develop
its natural resources it would be
much better for it. And the south
seems inclined to be of the same
idea. Last year 1t produced 20 OF
the out put of American iron and

s,Imed in this country. Its iron
manufactures are among the mos,
important in the country. Com.
pared with its condition 80 years

Owing to the decrease in shipments

Owing to the decrease in shipments
from London to American ports the
Allan line has decided 10 reduce the
number of steamers plying between
London and New York. They will
be placed on a new line running
to New Orleans and Mediterranean
ports. The English papers charge
the decrease to the Mckinley bill
which, they say, has so stimulated
the American manufacturers that
they are now supplying their home
market.

ing anecdote OF his experience in Mem

1T was in July. 1862 when we en-
tered Memphis Before the first of
the troops reached the town, orders

ties that every shop, tavern. hotel,

as the dead. sent for the mayor and
explained to him that Memphis was
being visited by American soldiers, his
countrymen-that such a reception was
inhospitable and must be changed, and
that he must order and instruct every
house TO be opened forthwith. This
was complied with. TO the immediate
satisfaction OF everybody. There ap-
peared however, at headquarters an
Episcopal clergyman named DR.. White,
who somewhat demurred Explained
TO him that the people Of Memphis
greatly needed Christian enlighten-
ment and he must promptly open his
church doors and administer to their
wants.

Church has been changed since the
