A Fine Point In Ethics.

held the fate Of these two boys at
each monthly examination. At the
close Of one of these feverish seasons
the examination papers were handed
back to the boys, and the one who
stood highest passed TO the coveted
seat. Next day he looked unhappy
and disturbed and finally asked to
see the teacher alone. lie at once

teacher her mistake in marking an
answer which, had IL not been made,
would have given the victory to the
other boy. The teacher commended
his honor and generosity, but the boy

MaIiPn PASSIONS.

The most prominent Of the malign
passions are anger, hatred, envy, jeal-
ousy, moroSeness, selflshness and av-
a-ice. All Of them tend to social
disorder and individual demoraliZa-
ton. The seat Of the affections is in
the brain, and the harm done by evil
passions is first upon the brain itself.
1t is not confined there, however,
since the brain controls the other
organs.
Outbursts of anger disturb the
action Of the heart. Many an angry
person has fallen dead in his rage, as
did one of the greatest medical ex-
perts of England. The character of
the secretionS may be changed under
its influence so that the mothers
milk may become poisonous; or the
process Of secretion may be arrested,
causing the stomach to lose its digest
i've power.
Envy and jealousy often give rise to
anger with all its bad physical re-
suits. They kill out the healthful
influence Of the benign affections, and
permanently disfigure the human
face divine"
Avarice, long INDUCED, destroys
the normal balance Of the brain, and
at length shrivels it up by concentrate
ing nourlshnent on the part which is
conccrned With getting and holding.
Its final result is that wretched
being, miser.
Moroseness is often worse in the
home than an occasional outburst OF
violent anger. The one expends itself
in the act; the other tends to perpet-
uate its evil influence indefinitely.
It's effect on others reacts on itself.
A homo with a morose mother is
worse than one with morose father.
The father may get rid Of his ill
humor in the outdoor sunshine, or in
the excitement Of business, or under
the influence Of his associates. At all
events, he takes it away with him.
A morose mother, on the other hand,
enshrouds the whole house in gloom
from morning till night.
Such moroseness Is often the effect
Of disease, but when it is not it tends
directly to produce disease, especially
by its action upon the liver and di-
gestiye tract.
All the passions. are strengthened
by indulgence, and at late stage are
exceedingly hard to overcome. Hence
it is very important to begin gaining
mastery over them early. A strong
WILL backed by strong moral pur-
pose, is equal to the task. Mothers
should seek to cultivate in their
children the opposite Of the malign
emotions = patience, cheerfulness,
charity and beneflcence. = Youths
Companion.

Prompt and Heroic.

All Australian boys are taught the
necessity Of guarding against snake
bites. The treatment of such wounds
is a necessary part Of their education.
One day two little fellows, six and
eight years old, went into the bush
to play. The smaller one, chasing a
rabbit into a hole, pushed in his
hand, and brought it out quickly
with the head OF a yenomous snake
attached to one of the fingers.
"Quick, Charley!" he cried, putting
his hand down on stump. "Chop off
my finger! The snake has bitten it. "
Charley, without pause, lifted his
AK and chopped not only the dam
aged finger, but two Of the others as
we'll. Then the boys ran straight
into town, over mile distant, and
sought a surgeon, who dipped the in
jured members in ammonia before
dressing them. Imagine the pain OF
such burning bath!
A young Australian lady was one
day walking along the street, when
she saw dirty and fredericksburg
tramp to whose leg a yenomous snake
had affixed itself.
After killing the reptile with her
parasol she borrowed his pocket-knife,
cut the trousers away from the wound,
and then, cutting a cross upon the
bite itself, applied her lips to 1t, and
sucked the poison away. The tramp's
life was saved, at the sacrifice, per.
haps, OF some dainty scruples-

The redwoods of Mendocino arc next

table giants are peculiar to California.
The principal lumber used in Califor-
MIA is taken from the redwood belt OF
the coast mountains, and its preparation
for build ng purposes is an important
and growing industry. The beautiful
grain and bright mahogany color OF tho

An Amphibious steamer.

What else shall we call steamer
that travels on both land and water?
This is just what little steamer
which has just been finished in Swe-
den has done on its trial trip, and
there seems to be no reason why it
may not be a successful traveller on
land as well as in water. There are
two lakes near Boras, in Sweden,
which are separated by considerable
strip OF land. The object of the
strange steamer is to save expense in
the transportation of freight across
the lake, particularly the avoidance
of double shipment. Rails. have been
laid across the land slip and the
steamer is 80 constructed that by its
own engines it can be run from the
water upon the rails and then roll
across until it dips into the other
lake. The little steamer Is of ten
horse power and can accommodate
sixty passengers in addition to its
freight. 1t is very appropriately
named, the Svanen, which is Swedish
for swan.

Flowers In London Markets.

The sale OF flowers by auction is
one of the sights of Covent Garden,
says Good Words. The stands in the
the wholesale market are furnished
over night and the building is open
for private buyers at o'clock next
morning, but all their business is
over at 0 o'clock. The visitor who
attends these purely trade functions
has the advantage of very charming
flower show, covering something like
three-quarters of an acre Of space,
upon which are arranged tier above
tier of poisoning plants, sometimes
extending up and down, in and out,
to total frontage of 700 yards.
The auctioneer, who takes his ros-
trum at 10 o'clock, addresses himself
to the men who are called "higglers, :"
a kind Of middle-men, who purchase
the flowers in lots and sell them to
the small retailers. The flower girls
can not afford to trade until the gen.
eral customers have had their pick of
the choicest wares, but, taught by a
sharp experience, they are able to
drive very smart bargains and know
precisely what to purchase.
The pale-faced children of the al
leys and by-streets OF this densely
populated west central district dill
gently haunt the purlieus in the
spring. They have heard of green
fields and buttercups and daisies, per-
haps have been told that the swal-
low and cuckoo hasten over the sea
to spend merry summer in English
meadows and copses; but the lunches
and baskets of flowers which here fill
them with delight and wonderment
are the only evidence Of such pleasant
things hitherto vouchsafed TO them.
They are to them tokens of an un-
known world. The daffodils, being
brightly golden and of respectable
size, strike them most, as they very
likely strike all classes Of visitors.
When March is going out like roar
ing lion, and the London streets are
swept by hail and rain, it is pleasant
to turn into Covent Garden and pass
these flowers in review. The wonder
is how such quantities OF violets,
primroses and daffodils can be col

Dying.
Burrows was, without doubt, the
most notorious liar Nevada Will ever

fame as liar spread for hundred
miles around, and men used TO stop
at our camp to get look at him. He
wasn't wicked man, and he had no
malice about him, but he was a
natural born liar. He lied about his
father, his mother, his wife, brothers,
sisters, and everybody else, and for
every hour In the day he had a new
falsehood.
One day a lot of earth and rock
caved In on him and inflicted fatal
injuries, and number OF US knocked
Off work TO be with him in his last
moments. Lying there. with only an
hour of life left to him, he told Us
that he had been a pirate on the
Pacific, and where he had buried a
large amount of money. We all knew
that he was from Ohio and had never
seen an ocean.
One of the men finally felt it his
duty to say:
Burrows, you have only short
time to live. You had best spend
that in preparing for eternity"
"I'ye allus been good" he quietly
replied.

Taking everything together, /
think the poodle Is the best adapted
for tricks OF any breed of dogs, says
III. Clay Glover, In Harper's Young
People. Still, have seen mongrels
that could perform marvellous feats
with grace and ease. For somersaults
the compactly built terrier is proba-
bly, the best breed Of dogs. l once
knew an artist who had French
poodle of wonderful sagacity. 1t
lived with him In his studio, and was
taught 10 go to the door when the
postman came and take the letters
from his hand and deliver them to its
master. One day' the doorbell rang
and when 1t was opened q messenger
boy came instead Of the expected
letter carrier. Without showing the
least temper the poodle sprang
against the swinging door, and by its
weight slammed 1t In the face of the
astonishod boy. 1t appears that once
a messenger boy offended the poodle
and he took this method of Kidding

in some dogs than in others, and
those that possess it to a marked de-

known of a dog going out hunting
with his master. They went dis

losing his way or being helped.
. A word or two of good advice to
conclude: DO not begin training your
dog to do tricks until he is ten
months or year old. After you
have taught him one trick go on to
another, but not before he has mas
tered it thoroughly. In rehearsing
him in his tricks always observe the
same order. Do not begin with
jumping to-day and with standing up
and walking tomorrow. Be orderly
