When WIN Prevails.

When he, the last of those whom
men call Buddha, was on earth, he
paused one day beneath the Leakage
of a wide branched tree 10 council
men and maids assembled there,
and while he spoke it strangely
happened that rush of rain from
ont the west fell roundabout while
yet the sun was shining unobscur-
ed.
So large and limpid, pure was
every drop, the people, smiling,
caught Il en- in their hands and
cried:
"Behold!"
"A rain of pearlsi'
'A rain of pearls, indeed" the
Buddha answered them. Then put
ting up his open palms, he caught
some drops which sifted through
the giistening leaves, and lol they
all became real peals the instant
of his touch.
ga miraclel"
Grain turned to pealsr'
The concourse wildly shouted.
"Nay, friends; no miracle" the
Buddha made reply; atwas done by
our will-thy will and mine. The
human will, unless spurred on by
selfshness, is ever mightier than a
drop of rain-ay, mightier far than
soulless thing. But even now, had
you, SO moved by greed, said: 'Budd-
ha, turn these drops of rain to
pearls, and give us them that we
are thus made richi my power had
failed, and these fair gems had
ever been but drops of rain and
nothing else"
Thus speaking, tossed he then
the pearls about, and those they fell
upon were SO much awed by Badd-
has words they scarce put up their
hands to clasp the treasure fast.
"But Buddha," said a man whose
face showed puzzled wonderment,
@may no man have his will in any
thing2"
"Ifwhat he wills be willed Alright.
For men, and not for man, was this
earth made and all that it contains
If one man for himself shall crave
such things as heaven meant for all,
his willing is vain. But if, not
thinking of himself, he wills for
others what would profit him, the
thing he wishes straitway comes
as much, too, for himself as for his
fellow men. 'Tis self alone which
thwarteth self To pine for moth
ing, selfishly, is the surest way of
wooing things to come"
That night within her bower
alone maiden wept hot and bitter
tears.

We have not unfrequently ex-
tracted a tariff reform argument of
considerable force from tho mad
vertent admissions of the leading
high tariff newspaper of this country.
A recent number of the New York
Tribune, in speaking of the South
American field for our manufactures,
said:
A Now England factory which
makes only two or three kinds of
goods, but manufactures these ON a
largo scale with a costly plant and
every labor saving device, has an
immense advantage over Euro
pean competitor who makes many
kinds, employs much hand labor
and lacks the best machinery.
This is perfectly true, and it is
just as true of many other manufac
tories than a New England shoe
shop. But when the American
manufacturer has this "immense
advantage over a European com
pctitor" why should he be favored
with a high protective duty on the
theory that the European has an
immense advantage over him in the
rate of wages2

"Nay. say not so, sweet soul"

was clasped withing her lovers

"Thou hast no cause for grief.
Unselfish is thy love, for thou dost
give and take love for my sake as
much as thou dost give and take it
for thine own. Ne'er think it sell
fish more. And see-all truly, too,
the Buddha spoke, for he did say
that what one wills for other than
himself prevails; then must our love
prevail, since each doth will it so
for both. And as no twain can
grant this world a greater boon
than love, when love is love, that
which we do so give is made un-
selfish, since it profits all as we'll as
one. So dry thy tears, thou hast

Perhaps nothing more remarkable has
been the subject of recent investigation
than the drum language" of the natives
of the Cameroons, on the West African
coast. By means of this wonderful sys-
tenn of transmitting sounds the most com
plicated messages can be conveyed to vii
lagos in the most distant parts In prac-
Using this unique system of sound language
a peculiarly shaped drum is used. BY di-
viding the surface of the drum head into
uneven portions, the instrument, upon be-
ing struck, may be made to yield two dis
tinct notes. BY these, and shortening or
lengthening the intervals between each
note, code is established with n regular
sequence of taps, strokes and intervals
capable of expressing every syllable in their
primitive language.
All of the natives understand this code,
and so elaborate is it that chief can by it's
means summon to his presence any villager
whom he desires to see, intimating to the
latter at the same time the purpose for
which his presence is required. In this
way, too, messages can be sent from vii
lage to village over wide stretches of coun-
try, the drummer in one hamlet transmit
ting to the next the signals he hears, and
that with the most extraordinary rapidity

In His Pocket,

jeremiah Mason, the celebrated lawyer,
| possessed TO a marked degree the instinct
| for the weak point.
He was once cross-examining a witness
who had previously testified to having
heard Mr.. Mason's client make IA certain
statement and it was upon the evidence
of that statement that the adversary's case
was based.
| Several questions were asked by Mr.. Ma
son, all of which the witness answered
with more or less hesitation Then he was
asked to repeat once more the statement
he had heard made. Without hesitation
he gave it, word for word, as he had given
| it in the direct examination.
A third time Mr.. Mason led the witness
around to this statement, and again it was
repeated verbatim.
Then, without warming, he walked to the
witness stand and, pointing straight at the
witness, said in his high, nasal, perfectly
unimpassioned voice:
Let's see that paper you've got in your
| waistcoat pocket"
Taken completely by surprise, the wit
ness mechanically took a paper from the
| pocket indicated and handed it TO Mr..
Mason.
There was profound stiffness in the court
| room as the lawyer SLOWLY read IN ms cold,
calm voice, the exact words of the witness
in regard to the statement and called at
tention to the fact that they were in the
handwriting of the lawyer on the other
side. He then gathered up his papers with
great deliberation, remarked that there
| seemed TO be no further need of his serv
ices" and left the court room.
"Mr. Mason, how under the sun did you
know that paper was there" asked
brother lawyer.
"Well," replied Mr.. Mason, IT thought
he gave that part of his testimony more as
If he'd learned it than as if he'd heerd it,
and noticed every time he repeated it he
put his hand to his waistcoat pocket, and
then let it fall again when he got through"
1t was simple explanation, but very
shrewd conclusion,--Youths Companion.
