The Ideal Friend.

Once or twice in a lifetime he is
found, and one who is worthy OF him
will be sure to find him. You will
know him when you meet him and he
will know you.
He will make the most and the. best
OF the good that is in you, and so in
f1uence you that the evil in you will
steadily diminish the longer you
know him. Whatever is deficient in
you he will supply, and in a like man.
ner you will fill his needs and wants.
You will fit together because you were
made for one another. When you
meet him it will seem as if you had al
ways known him. as if, somehow, in
some former existence you were true
comrades and friends, and now only
picked up the chain that had been
dropped erewhile. And this impress
sion as of previous acquaintance will
not die out, as with lovers, but will
continue to the end and grow strong
er, foryour friend is your counterpart,
your other self.
Your honor, your good name, will be
as sacred to him as his own. Never
once will be show cowardice, jealousy
or treachery. He will rejoice with
royal gladness when all goes we'll with
you, he will sympathise with and try
to help you when you are ill at ease,
exactly as he would try to help him
shift. You can depend on him as on a
rock for support. Whenyou find him
cherish him as your life, and never let
him go.
But how will you find him? Make
yourself worthy of such a friend, and
he will come to you OF his own accord.

Duties OF Parenta..

The utmost that the fondest and
wisest parents can do is to watch the
development of their children, notice
what their tastes are. what interests
them, in what branches they seem to
be proficient. It is in this way that
the child is started best and at the
earliest time on his most conaenial
and there ore his most useful course
in life. 1t is by kindly but inteli-
gent parental supervision of this kind
that the inventors, architects, en-
gineers and orators are started on
the careers that most fit them. It is
painful to think of the waste of time
to which men of ability have been
compelled by the foolish Judgment of
parents in forcing them into studies
and callings for which they were I'M
fitted.-New York Tribune.

SNAKES ARE MUSICAL.
Enchanted by the Bagpipe, They
are not Hard to Catch.

are not Hard to Catch.
When a snake has bitten several
times the poison is quite exhausted
for the time being, rendering tho
animal comparatively harmless. It
is said to be this fact which enables
the Indian snake charmers to handle
their charges without danger. They
tease them into anger, when they will
readily bite a stick or bundle of rags
and so exhaust their venom. Perhaps
it will be We here to say a few moro
words in regard to snake charmers.
Many kinds of serpants, especially
the hooded cobra of India, are
thought to be affected by music. In
capturing them for exhibition, tho
Indian takes his bagpipe, and, station
ing himself near an old we'll or ruin,
begins to play. A cobra is almost
certain to make it's appearance soon,
for they are very numerous in that
country. They are held in sacred
reverence, the little children calling
them ''uncle," and setting saucers Of
milk for them to drink; and they are
looked upon as guardian angels.
Should one be killed the slayer would
suffer death punishment.
AS the music Of the bagpipe rises
and falls, the snake seems to sway to
and fro, and, all unconscious, is seized
by the musicians confederate. In
this state OF musical excitement the
snakes are said to be quite safe to
handle.

Protecting the Money.


There is no absolute safety for life
or property in this world, but as hu-
man ingenuity increases it certainly
looks as. if bank robbers-robbers
from without, at any rate-were find
ing their knavish business more and
more nearly an impossible one. OF
the safeguards of the Bank OF Eng
land the Manchester Guardian says:
Its outer doors are now so finely
balanced that a clerk, by pressing a
knob under his desk, can close them
instantly, and they cannot be open
ed again except by special process.
This is doneto prevent the daring and
ingenious unemployed OF the great
metropolis from robbing the famous
institution.
The bullion department of this
great English banking establishment
is nightly submerged in several feet OF
water by the action of machinery.
In some of the London banks the
bullion departments are connected
with the managers sleeping-rooms,
and an entrance cannot be effected
without setting off an alarm near this
PERSONS head.
If a dishonest official, during day
or night, should take even one from a
pile of thousand sovereigns, the
whole pile would instantly sink and
a pool of water take it's place, besides
letting every person in the establish
ment know OF the theft.

But Somehow 1t Dldn't Meet With
the Approval of All Concerned.
The victim of this story, says the
World, tells the story himself. He is
a well-known young writer in town
and not long ago he completed short
story which he thought it we'll to
submit to the editor of Harper's
Magazine. Carefully wrapping the
manuscript up he gave it, with sep
arate note addressed to the editor, to
one of the Office boys from his own
place of business, with instructions to
deliver it an once in Franklin Square
Only day or two had passed before
the manuscript was returned with a
curt note saying that the Messl S.
Harper must ask to be relieved from
receiving any more manuscripts from
the same source. Convinced that
something was wrong, the young
man hurried over to Franklin Square
and asked for one of the Messrs. Har-
per. In reply to his agitated question
as to why he was ostracised thus per-
emptorily from the good graces of the
firm, he was told that they did not
care to receive manuscripts from him
because they did not care to submit
themselves to further insult at his
hands.
"Insult!" echoed the startled young
man. ~ haven't the slightest idea
what you mean"
"Your note was an insult that we
do not care to have repeated" was
the answer.
"My note?"
Eyes, sir, the note accompanying
the manuscript"
The young man sat for a moment
and thought hard. "Will you let me
see the note?" He finally asked.
Certainly" was the reply, and the
note was brought to him.
On a soiled and crumpled sheet this
is what was written:
mister Hopper. Her IS mannus'
crap. Reed it. If you want it, keep
it. If you doan't, damn you send it
back"
To which was appended the name o.
the sender.
Very properly the office boy who
had carried the note was the next per.
son interviewed. He broke down and
confessed at once. On the way down
to Franklin Square he had stopr ed
to watch a game ofcraps and lost the
note. Rather than 60 back and con
TESS his sin he concluded to rise to the
occasion and replace the note by his
own idea of such composition. The
Harpers had received the result.
The only persons who altogether
enjoy this incident will be the ones
who read it now.
