Lazard was in the East during the recent
snowstorm and was talking about what

snow was something to talk about" con-
tinued the visitor, "but if they would visit
Alaska about two hundred miles up the
Yukon river they would find snow that for
miles is so thick that the banks almost
reach the skies. If it deeps ON accumu-

A KING IN A TORTOISE SHELL.
The Cradle ut Pau OF the Celebrated Henry
of Navarro.

The Cradle ut Pau of the Celebrated Henry
of Navarro.
The cradle that queen should choose
for her princely little baby must be very
grand affair, don't YOU think so? saws
Jack-in-the-Pulpiti in the 81. Nicholas Per-
haps made of choice or costly woods or
even OF precious metal. In either case
it must, you think, be most beautifully
shaped and perhaps carved with the figures
OF sweet little cherubs, watching over the
favored mortal baby as he sleeps softly
amid his clouds of fine linen and delicate
lace.
OF it was something that | heard trav-
eler tell about within few days.
This traveller had lately come from
France. While in that country he had
visited the town of Pau, among the Pyre-
nees mountains. In this town, high up,
overlooking the valleys, stands an old, old
castle, dark and gray and gloomy. Ii was
built In the olden days when there was
much fighting, and mobiles and princes
had to live in castles, with walls made so
thick and strong to keep out their enemies
that the blessed sunlight was kept out too,
and the big rooms and halls were damp
and dismal enough. Here in this castle
OF Pau, in the year of 1853. said the trav-
eler, lived the old king of Navarro, and
here. in this same year, was born his
grandson Henry, prince of Navarro, after
ward known the world over as Henry the
Great, king of France and Navarro. He
was called great not only because he knew
how to head the armies of his kingdom,
fighting his enemies, but because
he loved his people and tried to make
them happy and prosperous, as well as
glorious.
So his people loved him. and after his
death they cherished everything that had
belonged to him with the greatest care.
Here, in his castle of Pau, is still treasured
the cradle in which the royal baby was
rocked to rest.
1t Is a cradle made all of tortoise-shell.
Shouldn't you think it would break very
easily? 1t would if it were thin and pol
ished tortoise-shell, like a girls dainty
bracelet, which is almost as brittle as ass,
but there is little danger of this royal
cradle meeting such a fate--no more
danger than If the she'll was still on the
back of the turtle, its first ownerl The
she'll is not polished or altered In any
way. It was taken from the back of the
big sea-turtle-who bad carried IL SO long
and thought himself so safe in his stout
shell house-and was cleaned and turned
over on its back.
Then only little blanket was laid in II
for the young prince OF Navarro was not
brought up delicately, and in his very
cradle was taught to lie wrapped up in a
rough blanket instead OF on soft cushions,
amid luxurious linen and lace.

whom he was talking whether or not the

ers. If not how could the cradle have
been rocked without giving the poor little
baby a most terrible jouncingP
A little boy who was walking with tho
traveller and his friend said that he didn't
think the little Prince Henry had half so
comfortable time OF it as his own little
baby brother at home; and / shouldn't
wonder if that were true. But, perhaps,
after all, it isn't good for babies to be
quite so comfortable. 1t may be that
more babies would grow up TO be strong
and hardy men and women il they were
not treated quite so tenderly at the first.

We once stood at the foot of Swiss
mountain towering from theVispbach val
ley TO a hight of 10000 feet. 1t looked
like hopeless pull to the top. But say
ing. "'Tis but a step at time" we started
up. Before sunset our party stood on the
summit amid the kindling scenery which
exhausts the resources of light and alti-
tude, while opposite flashed the icy crown
of the WeisshOrn, discovered by Prof
Tyndall.

We find in a contemporary the follow
ing statement:
A successful business man says that he
learned two things when he was eighteen
years of age which were afterward of
great use TO him, viz, never 10 lose any
thing and never to forget anything.
An old lawyer sent him with an inn
portant paper and gave him certain in
srructions. But" said the young man,
Suppose lose il, what shall do then ?"
You must not lose 1t.
AT shall not mean to, but what II that
should happen?"
"But say it must not happen. / shall
make no provision for such an occurrence I;
you must not lose it."
This put a new idea into the young
mans head. Ever after he made such q
provision against every contingency that
he did not lose things.
He found this equally true about for
getting If 3 matter Of importance was to
