An Imperial Re scue.

Emperors and kings, when at home,
are very much like other people, and it
is doubtless in the small amenities Of
life that their real character shows it.
self most truly. An incident Of the re.
centvis;t of the emperor of Russia to
his father-in-law,the king of Denmark,
at the palace of Amalienborg, is credit
able to the czar, though it put him for
a moment in a ridiculous light Early
one morning, soon after the arrival Of
the czar at Amalienborg, the sentinels
who were guarding the garden of the
palace were astonished to see the
emperor come running out OF the pal,
ace in slippers and shirt sleeves, ges,
ticulating and shouting loudly. The
soldiers knew not what to do. Had the
autocrat of all the Russias lost his rea.
son, or been attacked by some mysterious
enemy?. The czar soon answered the
question by rushing to a corner of the
garden where q great barking and
bowling was going on. From the win
dow of his sleeping room he had seen
one OF his big dogs make an attack on
the favorite black cat of King Christian
of Denmark, and without waiting to
summon servant or even to put on a
coat, he had rushed out to rescue the
cherished pussy. He saved the cat, and
no doubt earned the lasting gratitude
of the king, his host.-Youth's Com.

Franklin,s Exarnise.

At time when so much attention is
given to physical education, it is of in.
terest to remember that Benjamin
Franklin told John Adams that he
made it point of religion to exercise.
When sixty-six years old, Franklin
wrote to his son as follows:
Exercise to prevent diseases, since
the cure of them by physic is so pre-.
carious.
THE quantum of each kind of exer.
else is to be Judged by the degree OF
warmth it produces in the body, rather
than by time or distance.
There is more exercise in one miles
riding on horseback than five in a
coach; and more in one miles walking
on foot than in five on horse eback; more
in walking one mile up and down stairs
than in four on level floor.

A DWINDLING POPULATION.
The Falling OF In Numbers of the Folk In
Ireland

The Failing OF In Numbers of the F ok In
Ireland
The second part of the census of Ire
land, just published in blue-book form,
contains great deal of reading which
lis anything but pleasant. To those
who maintain that home rule is the
only thing which can arrest the steady
falling off in the population of Ireland,
the volume off ers a hundred strong
arguments.
1t is a startling fact that 3,415, 400
Irish people have left their homes for
the New World in the last forty years.
The whole population of Ireland is

on steadily during the last decade. Of
the no, 706 persons who have left the
country since 1881, very nearly half a
million were between the ages of twenty
and forty-fve.
The aforementioned fact explains a
circumstance which has surprised and
saddened many visitors to Ireland dur
ing the last six years of the liberal bat
tie for home rule. Especially in the
western and southern towns and viii

OF agriculture, that measures $40, ,4ss
square kilometers, the pasture zone,
4O5,S13, and the virgin or forest zone,
which has an extent of 797,940 square
kilometers. In these three sections
there is great variety of climates, and
almost everything can be cultivated
to advantage. There are only two
seasons-the rainy, which is called
winter, and the dry, called summer.
The highland, or region of the Cordil-

PRACTICAL REFORM.
The Work for Prisoners Discharged from

Saint Lazare.
Not much mistaken sentimentality
can remain in the minds of benevolent
persons after a term of work among
those classes who keep city prisons
filled. But it is replaced by something
far better an understanding of practi-
cal methods of helping them, and a
genuine sympathy which exists along
with just estimate of their short-com-
ings and misfortunes. M. Du Camp
writes of a bit of wise and tender sem
timent which he noted in visit to a
Paris mission for women.
One of the branches of the work for
Prisoners Discharged from Saint La
zare" is the work of clothing and find-
ing employment for the women. In
connection with it the women are
helped in many ways in accordance
with the spirit rather than the letter of
