There is one curious thing about a
Russian winter. In the latter part Of
October or the first Of November the
weather will be as mild as il is here il
September. Not a sign can be seen Of
an approaching change, when suddenly,
without any apparent warning, light
haze will be seen in the northern sky.
and in q hours the thermometer ma,
fall 30 degrees. The change is so sudden
and violent that travellers are frequently
frozen to death before they can gain shell
ter. 1t has occurred that farmers out
looking after their hocks have been
caught i'll one Of these blizzards, aud,
missing their way home, have lost th,ir
lives, their bodies remaining under the
snow until the following spring. The sud
denness of Dakota blizzard is well known
in the Northwestern part Of our country,
but it is lardiness persouified when COM
pared with the rapidity with which a
Russian winter storm comes on.

philanthropy on Credit.

The late Horace Leland, who for many
years kept the Leland hotel at Spring
field, Ils., was generous man and low
er of children. One day he and John A.
G. Andrews, then speaker of The Illinois
House of Representatives, were walking
out together. when they met man with
Il cluster of toy balloons. School was
just out, and hundreds Of boys and girls
came pouring from a building near at
hand
Hold on, Ace" said Mr.. Leland,
"there's joyous sight and the two
stopped and watched the children all
gazing with longing eyes at the balloons.
"Fi' cent apiece
"How much for the lot?' asked the
pbilanthropist.
The man counted them. There were
twenty-one.

Mr.. lie and took them all and distrib-
uted them among the children with as
much fairness as possible. Then he put
his hand into his pocket and said "Ide-
clare, Ace, haven't cent with me-
Lend me dollar"
ooh, no." said Judge Andrews serious
ly, "you can't play philanthropist at my
expense"
"Well, my man, said Mr.. Leland, 81
guess you'll have to call at my hotel for
cur money"
No, sir, said The man; 'you give me
my money or you give me back my bal
looms"
"But don't you see can do neither ?
Come to the Leland House and ask for
Mr. Leland, aud will pay you"
"No, sir" persisted the man, you pay
me my money or give me back my bal
looms. | haf see dat hotel trick Lefore.'
Come, Ace said Mr.. Leland from
the depths of bis troubled soul, "give me
Il dollar"
Not a cent" said the judge with as
sumed gravity, 81 wouldn't trust you
with dime"
"See," said the man "vour OWL friend
no will trust you. You give me my
money or | will call de policeman
just then there happened along an old
beggar woman who had lived upon the
bounty of the good people Of Springfield
for many a year. She stopped and heard
enough of the conversation to know what
il was about.
"Hould on, Misther Layland," said
she; "if yer foine friend there won't lave
We loan av a dollar, Dim the friend that
will" and as she lectured Judge Andrews
for the "stingiest ould thing out o jail ,
she unroled the money from dirty rag
and gave it to the phiIanlhropist.
Judge Andrews says he never tried to
play just that kind Of a joke on Horace
Leland again.

All the bitter turned % sweetness,
All the Losses turned to gain.

Hour to Get on in Life.

In the current issue of the Young Aen
Professor John Stuart Blackie publishes an
interesting article on "reminiscences Of his
youth. Like lady letter, the most impor-
tant part of it is in the poscript, in which he
sets down few of the rules of conduct
which have guided him through life, and
which he has no doubt may have coutribu-
ted largely to any praiseworthy work that
be has been able, in the course Of a life, to
achieve.
ACCEPT YOUR OPPORTUNITIES.
IL Never indulge the notion that YOU
have any absolute right to choose the sphere
or the circumstances in which you are to put
forth your powers of social action; but let
your daily wisdom of life be in making a
good use of the opportunities given you.
AVOID LIES, SHOW AND SHAM.
III. We live in real, and solid, and a
truthful world. In such a world only truth
in the long run can hope to prosper. There
fore avoid lies, mere show and sham, and
hollow superfciality of all kinds, which Is
at best painted lie. Let whatever you are,
and whatever you do, grow out of firm
root of truth and a strong soil of reality
LAZY MAN DOESN'T COUNT.
iii. The nobility Of life is work. We
live in working world The lazy and the
idle man does not count in plan of cam
paign. My father worketh hitherto, and |
work. Let that tex be enough.
TIE STEAM OF THE SOCIAL MACHINE.
"IV. Never forget St. Paul's sentence,
Love is the fulfilling Of the law This is
the steam of the social machine.
HAVE A BALANCE WHEEL.
"V. But the steam requires regulation.
1t is regulated by intelligence and modera-
ton. Healthy action is always balance of
forces, and all extremes are dangerous; the
excess of good thing being often more dam
gerous in its social consequences than the
excess of what is radically bad.
LEAVE 40 TAGS.
"VI. Do one thing well. BE a whole
man, as Chancellor Thurlow said TO one
thing at one time. Make clean workand leave
no tags. Allow no delays hen YOU are at
thing do it and be done with it,
READ WITH \ PURPOSE.
"VII Avoid miscellaneous reading
Read nothing that you do not care to re-
member, and remember nothing you do not
mean to use.
DON T COURT EMPTY APPLAUSE.
"VIII. Never desire to appear clever
and make show of your talents before men.
Be honest, loving, kindly and sympathetic
in all you say and do Cleverness will flow
from you naturally, if you have it and APP
pIause will come unsought from those who
know what to applaud; but the applause of
fools is to be summed.
MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS.
"IX. Above all things avoid fault-find-
ing and habit of criticism. Let your
rule in reference to your social sentiments be
simpy this: Pray for the bad, pity the
weak, enjoy the good and reverence both
the great and the small, a playing each his
part aptly in the divine symphony of the
universe

gether. One had put in an application
for a divorce from his wife, and the 9TH
er expected to be married soon. Neither
one would possibly admit that the others

next day the man who expected to be
married broke his engagement, and the
one who had put in an application for
divorce withdrew it and made up with
his wife.
