Lord, thou hast given me cell
Wherein to dwell,
A little house whose humble roof
Is weather proof
Under the spares of which lie
Both soft and dry;
There thou. my chamber for to ward.
Hast set a guard
or harmless thoughts to watch and keep
Me while sleep.
Low is my porch as is my fate,
Both void of state;
And yet the threshold Of my door
Is worn by poor,
Who thither come and freely get
Good words or meat.
Tis thou who crownest my glttering heath
With guitless mirth,
And givest me wilsSail huwles to drink
Spiced tn the brink.
Lord, 'tis thy plenty-drUpping hand
That soils my land.
And givst me for my bushel sowne
Twice ten for one.
All this. and better, thou dost send
Me, to this end
That should render, for my part,
A thankful heart

Keep your frogs and snails and lettuce.

Hardly could you live without
Keep your puddings and your swine;
Keep your ale and keep your stout
For we need no importations

While we have the bird resplendent.

So drink to the bird

Through the nation from ocean to ocean;
Whose sibilant signs

Prove his calm, gastronomic devotion.

Almost any one who speaks English might be put down successivtly in half dozen places where English is supposed to be the mother tongue. and hear as many dialects spoken, not one of which he would un- derstand until it was interpreted.

Books Made of Leaves.

ID some countries leaves of trees are used for books. In Ceylon the leaves of the talipot, tree common on that island, are used for a similar purpose. The talipot tree belongs to the palm family. It grows about hundred feet high, is straight and has no real branches. When very old the tree blos- sons, and dies after ripening it's fruit. The tree never blooms but once.
 The leaves used for books are cut by the natives before they spread open, and are of a pale brownish yellow, a color they retain for ages. The characters are impressed upon the leaf and are rubbed over with charcoal to make them show more plainly. The leaves are then strung together between covers of board or of some less common material.--C A. Lynde in St. Nicholas.

Sharks Do Not Roll Over

Mir. Willard Nye, of New Bedford, Mass, was attempting to feed a small dusky shark at Woods Holl with the meat of a clam. He had theory that the animal would turn before taking tho food and would be slow in its movements, but to his surprise the shark snapped sideways Gas quick as lightning" and took the clam and three fingers of tho hand that fed it. Other sharks in the pool, attracted by the sight of blood, dashed up to the edge and would have made serious work if victim had been within reach.
 The notion that sharks always roll over when taking food is deeply rooted in the popular mind, but the foundation for this theory is not evident. But we have seen them taking menhaden in the side of the mouth while in the upright swimming position, shaking the head like dog until the sharp teeth cut off a portion of suitable size and afterward picking up the remainder of the fish, provided some other shark had not cap tured it.-FOrest and Stream.

all one night before the platform, and called the blue eyed baby white god, destined by heaven to grow up into a fine woman and deliver the Chinese from the control of the imperial dynasty, in fulfillment of the prophecy made more than a thousand years ago.
 Wearied with his devotions, Moi Hing had at last fallen asleep. The little German wife had wanted to take the baby to her bed. but he had said no. So, when he was asleep, she who had been waiting crept out of bed toward the shrine and took the baby in her arms. It was cold and still, and she nestled it close to her breast, as mothers always do, and smiling at her treasure, fell asleep.
 Two hours had passed by when she woke up again. The baby had not moved. Its legs and arms were cold and rigid, and the eyes were half open, It was dead She lifted the wee bit of clay and kissed it as though she would give it some of her own life. She called it ho yeuug, and her tears fell upon the wisps of golden hair.
 The sounds of her grief came to the ears of her sleeping husband. He crawled to his knees and made an obei- sance before the shrine. The Joss sticks had burned down to the wood and had gone out. He jumped to his feet with a cry like an animal at the fatal shot, and began to light.new sticks. Then, for the first time, he saw the child was gone. He saw it in its mothers arms. He snatched it from her and felt its cold cheek. Like lump of lead he went down on the bare floor with the baby still in his arms.
 When he struggled to his feet like a man upon whom the yen yen is strong his wife was gone-she had fled in terror. With hatcheC he chopped the shrine to bits and laid waste the furniture.
 The ones who had been told this strange story by the German wife found him il the room with the baby. After the | funeral she went to Brooklyn. He will go back to China, but will remember nothing They call him the Idiot 1 Fred A. Wilson in New York Evening | Sup

The National Cloth of Ireland.

AS far back as the history of Ireland can be traced in writings mention is made of coarse woolen cloth woven by the people of the country and known to them as frieze. The name is said to be drawn from the ancient Frisa in the Netherlands, whence possibly the art of making the fabric was derived. So re- mote, however, is the period when frieze was first made in Erin that no one can tell when or where or by whom it was originally spun. Century after century, so long that the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. it has been the na- tional cloth of Ireland, the distinctive dress of patriot. peasant and peer, and since the Seventeenth century an out. ward badge of the peoples aspirations for nationality. .-Donohoe's Magazine.
