A WORD IN TINE.

A prompt action and few season
able words at the beginning of a
Young mans career otter produce a
lasting effect on his after life. Many
years ago, when Samuel Phillips. of
Andover, Mass, afterwards lieutenant
governor of the State, was a student at
Harvard College, owing to some boy
ish freak he left the college and went
home.
His father, a grave man, of sound
mind, strict judgment and few words,
was greatly disturbed by the seeming
lack of stability in his sons character.
After learning the facts he deferred
expressing any opinion until the next
day.
At breakfast he said, addressing his
wife:
My dear, have you any cloth in
the house that would be suitable for
making Sam frock and trousers ~
Eyes, indeed" she replied.
'Well, then" said the old gentle
man, "you may follow me, my son."
AS they approached the common
Samuel ventured to ask:
What are you going to do with me,
father
''Oh," replied the old gentleman,
apparently reused from a pleasant
revery, speaking in cheerful tone,
II am going to bind you apprentice
to the blacksmith over yonder. You
can take your CHOICE" added Mr.
Phillips firmly, as he saw the look of
CONSERVATION on his sons face. RE
turn to college and stay there, or you
must work"
Il had rather return replied Sam
uel meekly.
Every well, said the old gentleman.
turning toward home Immediately.
His son did return to college, con-
fessed his fault, applied himself to
study and became a much respected
man. And his father never regretted
the day when he offered Samuel such
an unpleasant alternative, although he
often admitted that he might have
been little put to it if Sam had
elected to follow the blacksmith's
trade
But he would have held to his word
in any case.

TIE COCO4NUT TREE.

The native proverb says, "a cocoa
nut tree is brides dowry," and real
ly the many uses to which the palm
and its products are put are wonder
full. They provide family with food,
shelter, fuel, house, utensils and, if
need be, clothes.
1t takes long time for the cocoanut
tree to attain its full condition of bear
ing-seven years-but when this time
has passed it is mine of wealth, and
happy is he who can call plantation
eff Il hundred acres his own.
The nuts when ripe fall to the
ground. and where necessary are
plucked by men who climb up. 1t
sometimes makes ones blood run cold
to see them run up the trees like mon
KEYS
Two ways are practiced for mount
ing the trunk. In the case of q small
tree, or at an odd moment, the man
walks up the trunk, keeping his feet

back from it as much as possible, re-
tanning his position at the same time
by the tension of his arms.
The other and safer plan is to pass
Il loop of cord around the feet, which
are thus kept close together, and
grasp the trunk of the tree, the arms
in the meantime assisting the climber

THEY NEVER TOOK MUSTdRD.

An Englishman, fond of roaming
about the world, says that he was
once on large steamer where he had
for his fellow passengers many Brazil
ians and Portuguese.
1t WAS the first time that he had en-
countered individuals of either nation,
and he was curious.
What sort of people do you ind
them - he aske the captain one day
as they paced the quarter deck to-
gether.
'Well, SIR" he answered, they're a
queer lot. and that's the truth of it -
How so?''
For one thing" said the captain,
''they all of them, man, woman and
child, squeeze their feet into boots
that it gives man the cramp TO look
att
"And what besides -
The captain turned short upon the
speaker as if the second development
of nationality was really almost be-
yond his patience.

it shall never be told up to Dodbrook
market that Cap'n Pridgen and his

Accordingly, as the enemy came on,
bearing down upon him at Il rapid
trot, he shouted to his troop:
Charge, my brave boys, charge
Us baint voxes and they baint hounes.
Us'll face 'em like men"
The collision, as one might guess,
was awful. Men. horses and accou-
trements strewel the ground on every
side, and several troopers were We're
more or less injured.

APEsURRECTED LANGUAGE.

Hebrew, although one of the oldest
of the languages, and for many gen
erations regarded as dead language
in Western schools, and taught as
such, has always been used to a
greater or less extent among the He
brews, and to-day is becoming very
live language indeed. 1t has mod
ern literature Books are being writ
ten in the ancient language of the Old
Testament, including works on phi
losophy, history and science, besi,les
many poems and novels. Many mas
terpieces of modern authors have been
translated into Hebrew, and IL number
of newspapers, weeklies and monthlies
are published in that language, several
of which are printed in the United
States.

NOT TERYL4STING.

The friendship that exists between
the different European countries is not
very lasting. England and. Turkey

both of them may be seeking other
allies before week passes.

THE CUP OF LIFE,

TIE CUP OF LIFE.
"But is it sweet, or bitter, tell me true,
This Cup of Life?" Then, lying deep in dew,
youth, who wore rose in bud, think,
Made answer: 1T is bitter. Wherefore
drink?''
With that he tore his hearts first flower away ::
Love is rose that withers in a day.
Love leaves Il thorn that tears ones hands
and see
How red the blood that thorn has wrung from
mei'
So hummed the boy and vanished through the
trees,
Astir with dove-wings and in bloom with bees,
But, when dead leaves had whirled in frozen
rain
For many year, met that boy again.
Hid in his mask of scars, knew his face.
His white beard blew about him with II grace
All winds of God had walled about his head,
But is it sweet or bitter?" still said.
Oh, but that youth laughed lightly! I'm my
day
| called it bitter. Golden heads turn gray.
] longed when young to break it at my feet
But. oh, its last drops are exceeding sweett''
