Mapping IL. Westminster.

A young lady who had just returned
from abroad was asked what she en-
ioyed most of all in her experiences.
She has been through the greater part
of Europe and has sailed up the Nile
as we'll and it was expected that she
would answer that the view OF St.
Peters at Rome, Of the great Sphinx,
or of some OF the worlds wonders would
be cited as the thing which had most
pleased her. Instead of naming any OF
these, however, says the Boston Courier,
she replied with no hesitation:
The nap ] had in Henry Wis

The nap you hadP' her questioner
repeated, doubtfully.
Yes. i got TO Westminster SO
thoroughly tired that it seemed to me
that i could never get rested again to
the end OF my days. l went into the
chapel and sat down in one of the stalls
where some antique ecclesiastic had

There is certain class of people
who take great satisfaction in saying
unpleasant things. They call this
peculiarly speaking their minds" or
''plain speaking" Sometimes they
dignity it by the name of telling the
truth" As if truths must be unpleas-
ant in order TO be true! Are there no
lovely, charming, gracious truths In
the world? And IL there are, why
cannot people diligently tell these,
making others happier for the telling,
rather than hasten to proclaim all the
disagreeable ones they can discover
The sum of human misery is always so
much greater than the sum of human
happiness. that il would appear the
plainest duty to add TO the latter all
we can. and do what lies in our power
TO diminish the former.-Harper's Ba-

HER LIFE SAVING SKIRT.

While my wife and l were on our
last trip TO Europe, " said a gentleman
TO Detroit News man eve met "a
middle-aged lady who was going over
for her health, and my wife and she be-
came great friends. One day. while
sitting in the ladies' private cabin, the
lady said: Let me show you my life
presever. and removing her outer
skirt my wife beheld skirt that was
curiosity if nothing more. Running up
and down the skirt, at a distance of
two or three inches, were soft, flexible
rubber bands six inches wide. They
were sewed on at the side of each band
and ran all the way around the skirt.
and at the top they were all joined to
broad rubber band six inches wide. At
the top Of this band was a rubber tube
about two feet long, which ran up and
down the waist in front and was left
resting on the top of the corset.
said the lady, You behold one OF
my own inventions for saving my life.
In case Of an accident all | have to do
is to take the end of the rubber tube in
my mouth and in two minutes can fill
all OF the rubber bands, which arc
hollow and air-tight, with air. Then
tying the tube in a hard knot, ! am

p. r. Gordon in the Brisband Queens

not until eighteen months ago that |

wild buffaloes in these colonies, and |
venture TO say that not ! per cent OF

fact. Curiously enough. ! have two
simultaneous inquiries about them
one from Prof. Wallace of Edinburg
and the other from gentleman in
Michigan, u. ;. A. | laid myself out
TO make full inquiries on the subject,
and it has occurred to me that the
public will be interested to know the
result. Mr.. b. II. Purcell who has
seen several of them in the far North
and was present at the death OF one,
gave me minute description of them
which tallies exactly with what /
learned from other sources. Mr.. +.
Palmer. NJ. l.. A. informs me that one
of the islands on the northern coast is
fully stocked with them, and isolated
bulls from the herd on the mainland
occasionally find their way as far east
as one of his gulf stations, and that
several have reached Mr.. Hams Lawn
Hill station. In DR.. Leichhardt's Jour
nal OF his expedition from Moreton
Bay to Port Essington in lS44-'45 he
mentions that Mr.. Roper and the
black boys, Charley and Brown, "
ran down and shot one thirty miles
from Port Essington, and that they
were said TO be numerous there and
We're called by the blacks 'anaborro. "
Leichhardt states that they are the
offspring OF the stock which had
either strayed from the settlement at
Rallies Bay or been left behind when
that establishment was broken up.
They were originally introduced from
the Malay Islands. / was struck with
the remarkable thickness of their skin
(almost an inch) and with the solidity
of their bones, which contained little
marrow, but that little was extremely
savory." Mr.. Palmer states that the
bull killed on his run weighed almost
a ton, was extremely broad and we'll
developed in the forequarters, but
tapering off in the headquarters.

Modern Simpsons.

March %, 1871, Thomas Thompson
lifted three barrels of water, weighing
together 1886 pounds. He also put
an iron bar on his neck, seized hold of
its two ends. and bent it until the lat
ter met On another occasion he
raised with his teeth "a table six feet
long, supporting at its further end a
weight of 100 pounds. He also tore
without serious effort rope of di-
ameter of two inches, and lifted
horse over n bar. Some years ago Il
negro appeared in London who, with
one hand and his arm out straight,
lifted from the ground a chair on which
was seated full-grown man having on
his lap child. 1t is on record that
German called Buchholz lifted with his
teeth cannon weighing about 200
pounds and fred ii off in that position.
While performing at Epernay, in
France, the same feat. the barrel of
the gun burst. Miraculously he was
not killed, although several of the
fragments were thrown over fifty yards
away. There are stories Of other
strong men who did not appear in pub
lie. A butcher lived in South Holland
who killed calves by strangling them.
A Dutch count in private entertain
ment, bent an iron bar by beating it
with his right hand against his left
arm, protected by a leather bandage,
bending it afterward straight again by
beating it the other way. Charles
Louvier, q carpenter of Paris, found it
child's play to roll tin basin between
his fingers into cylinder. On one occa-
sion he carried off u soldier on guard
who had gone to sleep in the sentry
box, depositing both on a low chuch-
yard wall close by. An equally anus
ing story is told of a Dane, Knut
Kundson, locksmith, who, while
standing in window on the ground
floor, lifted with one hand half bull
lock from the shoulder of a butcher
who was toiling past with his load.

There was nothing so very strange in

certain glass product made in Germany
was sold extensively in Japan.
Through government officials an iruo-
cent request was made to the Germany
manufacturers to allow three or four
Japanese workmen in their factory.
The request was granted. The arti-
sans spent year or two in Germany,
and to-day Janpan is selling the same
article TO the Germans at much less
cost than they can produce it. Those
obliging Germans have had their bust

When DER us the torrents roll

How stubborn the artist finds
The pigments his palette shows,
When fancy draws picture
And on its face repose
Soft lines so fair
Soft tints so rare

And his soul is filed with visions
