the log and then sprang out to where
Green was sinking. He soon made the
end fast under Green's arms, and then,
hanging on to the blight, he sang out for
those on shore to haul in. Green's life
was saved"
''Yes, I've heard Of 1t often, and re-
member it, too, for l was quite a boy at
the time"
"Well, to-day, Frank came home. He
has been gone to Canada for most nine
years. He came by where Green was at
work, and asked for an apple, and don't
you think the old wretch turned him
harshly away without even giving him
one. Of course, Green didn't recognize
him, and Frank didn't then choose to
make himself known. The old skinfint
must feel nice when he finds out who it
was he turned away"
''L should think so," returned the
other.
"But Mr.. Watts gave him as many as
he wanted" continued young Grey.
'That Watts is a noble man."
"That he is. You wouldn't find any,
body troubling his orchard. Why, there
isn't boy within twenty miles of here
that would do him harm, or lay hand
upon anything that belonged to him,
without permission. 1 love that man,
and everybody loves him. Come, let's
be going. It's getting dark"
There was bright tear in the eye of
Mr.. Watts, as he turned to look upon his
companion.
"Frank Greyl" murmured Green,
while his face showed the modification
he felt.
The lesson that had thus been given
to the farmer was not lost upon him. 1t
had struck him too forcibly, too keenly,
to be forgotten, that kindness could only
be secured by kindness and forbearance
and generous hospitality commensurate
with his means Yankee Blade.

The Spanish Man-SerVant.

A Spanish man-servant is, indeed,
curious type. In grand, aristocratic
houses, the footmen and flunkeys are the
same all over tho world; but the "ma-
jordomo," or butler, is person to be
feared and respected in his black cloth
and silver chain. He is very honest if
you trust him, and he does his work
splendidiy. He Furnishes the silver
plate until it shines like the sun at noon
time, and he brushes his masters clothes
until all the nap is taken of. But it is
in minor questions of style or tact that a
Spanish man servant of this class is
deficient. He can never be made to
stand up straight on his legs; his invari-
able rule is to assume a lounging gait
to lean upon table or against a wall,
while he condescends to receive your
orders. He is, however, so good
natured, and grins so heartily at any re-
mark overheard as he waits at table, that
you cannot tird it IN your heart to get
angry with HIM. He will at times vol
unteer reply to a question put by you
to a guest; and if no guests are present
he has been known to Join in the family
conversation. He is exceedidgly fond of
gorgeous neckties and pea jackets; and
if you go the length to bestow "frac"
or dress-coat upon him, he looks so
awkward and ungainly when he puts it
on that you are fain to regret the general
impulse which prompted you to such
munifcence. You sigh to see him once
more in his old clothes. This is a sort
of man-servant everybody has in Spain;
the poor fellow is badly paid, for he
never earns more than thirty or forty
"pesetas" a month. Transcript.

MY REWARD.

Beside my path slender tree
Dropped meath a winding-sheet of snow,
its fettered arms appealed to me,
! shook it free, and bade it grow;
Next spring it bore my fruitage rare,
Repaying many fold my care.
Beside my path fellow-man
Lay prone upon the frozen heath,
Wretched his raiment pale and wan
His features with the hue of death;
/ held my hand to him, and lol
He scowled, and cursed, and bade me go.
"Alasr' sadly thought, as then
1 left him to pursue my way,
"Have trees more gratitude than menT
heard a voice within me say:
patience, twas heaven gave the tree
The fruitage that rewarded thee"

LIVING AND LOVING.

IL isn't life's purple and gold, dear,
That makes IL best worth living;
Not always the very costliest gifts
Are dearest and best worth givingt
The heart that beats in truest time
With the music of creation,
Is happier far than his whose will
Can make or mar a nation.
The little sunny CLEANS that prove
Our dark clouds hopeful lining
Are brighter, dear, than IL we had
Walked always in the shining.
do not think God loves us less,
Or frowns on us hereafter
Because we cover up sigh
With single-hearted laughter.
There is no heart SO poor but gives,
II it but will, treasure
Richer than any kings may own,
Greater than time can measure.
No life can Ser be poor and cold,
Or craving some nsw blessing,
That hath and holdeth fairy gold,
Loves gracious self possessing.
Love souhuetn depths that none may reacl
With any common plummet,
Itleadeth up to heights beyond
This work-a-day life's summit.
A little tender, human love,
Just at the right time given,
Goes far to make this sad old earth
Seem like piece of heaven.

There are, remarks the New York Sun,
about 200 tea tasters in this city, a we'll
paid class of men, most of whom in tho
course of nature will die of kidney dis
ease superinduced by their unwholesome
occupation. The habits of these men
are exceedingly curiouS. Some of them
refuse to ply their trade save in the
morning, on the ground that the sense OF
taste cannot be trusted after it has Neen
bewildered by hours of work. Most of
them avoid the use of tobacco and Of
highly seasoned food. Their accuracy
of taste is astonishing. A tea faster will
grade and price dozen qualities Of tea
all from the same cargo. All this ae-
curacy seems unnecessary, however, for
grocers unhesltatingly sell the same tea
TO different persons at very different
prices, so ignorant are most persons of
quality in teas.

The offer of bounty of 100 acres Of

that over 1000 abnormally large families
have already entered claims, the idea
was a remarkably good one.

DR. HUGHES ON HIS REJECTION.
1t Was . Surprise, but He Has No Complaint
to Make.

The rejection by the Medical Society at its
recent meeting of the application of W. D.
Hughes, one Of the District medical examiners
has caused considerable comment in medical
and district circles and along with the other re-
jections The question Of how much chance a
graduate Of Howard University has to get in
the society is being argued anew. Several
members of the Medical Society today secuted
the idea that there was any combination among
the members tc black ball graduates of Howard
University, although it was allowed that feel
ing of resentment may have come over as an
inheritance from the last election.
DE-. Hughes, whose application was turned
down, is the latest medical inspector appointed
by the new health officer and was not only
prominent in the agitation which brought
about the change of health officer. but was
quite frequently mentioned as a candidate for
the position himself. He is a graduate of
Howard University. Speaking of his rejection
by the Medical Society DIR. Hughes said today:
II have no feeling whatever in the matter and
have no complaint TO make Of single member
OF tine society l do not understand the
grounds on which was rejected and have not
bad them explained to me. 1t has been sug-
gested TO me that the opposition came from the
friends of the late health officer As to the
truth or falsity Of this charge know nothing
whatever. The action of the society was a
surprise to me, as had been requested to make
application. However, Is have said I have
no complaints to make and shall pursue the
even tenor OF my ways a. before"
