On one occasion our mothers pres
ence of mind saved the life of the
child Laura, then a baby of two years
old.
We we're all staying at the institu-
ton for somer reason, and the nursery
was in the fourth story Of the lofty
building.
One day our mother came into the
room, and to her horror saw little
Laura rolling about on the broad
window sill, the window being wide
open; only a few inches space be-
tween her and the edge, and then
the street, fifty feet below.
The nurse was-I know not where;
any where save where she ought to
have been. Our mother stepped
quickly and quietly back out of sight
and called gently: Laura, come
here, dear! Come to me! I have
something to show you"
A moments agonized pause-and
then she heard the little feet patter
on the floor, and in another instant
held the child clasped in her arms.
If she had screamed or rushed for
ward the child would have started,
and probably would have fallen and
been dashed to pieces.-St. Nicholas.

HindoO Witchcraft.

All Hindoos believe in witchcraft,
and, in strange contrast to the old
believers in witchery, they believe
that young and pretty maidens are
the chief actors in such uncanny
mummery. If crops r blighted or
if a general sickness prevails they
write the names of all the young
women of the vicinity on separate
tree branches and then immerse the
stems of the twigs for four hours and
a half in a solution Of holy water and
aromatic herbs. If one or more of
the twigs wither during the specified
time the young women whose name
or names is attached thereto is i'm
mediately put to death. Thus the
influence of the witch is counterfeit
ed, the crops saved and health re-
stored.-St. Louis Republic.

HumOrS of ~SirnbOards,

The humors of signboards might
fill a chapter by itself. Such humor
is sometimes intentional and some
times not; in the latter case not in
frequently all the more amusing.
The very diversity Of tongues repre-
sented tends to lead to blunders. In
a cosmopolitan city like New York,
numerous signs can be found in Ger
man, French, Italian, Polish, He
brew, Chinese, Japanese and various
other languages, most of them in the
different quarters occupied by those
nationalities. A mixing up Of two
languages occurs at times, and we
find signs that read Bier & Wines"
or "Sommergarden." The "etc in
Soda Water & etc." looks rather
suggestive, and a reversed N (N or
S 80 is not a very uncommon sight,
although it will be passed unnoticed
by many. Wrong spelling, or an
omission or transposition of letters,
may also cause q smile. Pigeon
Holes" appeared on a sign on Broad
way, near Worth, and ''Excluvisely'
remained for years unnoticed on the
signboard of prominent frm.-New
York Times.

When Greek Met Russ.

A Greek vessel was lying at anchor not
long since in a harbor in the Black sea,
and being a rather suspicious craft an ex-
else officer was ordered to keep watch on
its movements. The captain vas anxious
to perform some illegal operation with his
ballast, but he found it impossible to es-
cape the vigilance Of the officer, so deter
mined to make it worth his while to wink
both his eyes. AS, however, the Russian
understood no Greek and the Greek was
quite ignorant Of Russian, the proposal had
to be made in dumb show. After indicat-
ing in pantomime what he wanted to do
with the ballast the skipper wrote down
on a piece of paper, "ten rubles." The
excise officer read the paper, and then
promptly wrote underneath it, 100
rubles." This was more than the Greek
felt inclined to pay, and the negotiations
fell through. The affair, however, reached
the ears of the authorities, and the Greek
was arrested. In court he "rounded' on
his accuser by producing the document
which had been the medium of negotiation
between them.
did you write this?' asked the judge
of the witness, as he pointed to the words
100 rubles."
81 did," stolidly answered the officer.
"Then you demanded a bribe?" retorted
the judge in his severest tones.
"By no MEANS" answered the astute
Russian. THE prisoner offered me ten
rubles and l told him would not do what
be wanted for 100 rubles. boston Globe.

FOREST MUSINGS.

I love to roam in the painless woods,
Where nature is clothed in its native attire;
The tender green carpet that covers the ground
Affords a delight that l never have found
In costly temple or gilded spire.
/ love the forest wild and wide,
By mother nature planted and titled.
Those moss grown monarchs side by side
Are dearer to me than the trappings of pride
In the c~ostliest temples that man can build.
Science may boast of her treasures of art
That genius has wrought with the chisel and
brush.
But all the treasures that art can reveal
Touch not my heart with the rapture l feel
AS l sit and muse in the twilight hush.
When evening lets her curtain fall,
And all around is calm and still,
1 listen at twilight's solemn hush
To the tender Groom of the hermit thrush.
Or the plaintive wall of the whippoorwill.
The brook murmurs low in ferny glen;
Its breath floats cool on the evening air,
Its rhythmical note has a lesson for me;
1t hurries away to the boundless sea
And l to a bourne l know not where.
Perhaps when the mists have rolled away"
And broader prospects open to view,
We shall know that the trials and cares of to-
day
Were the tutors that kept us from going
astray,
Divinely appointed for me and you.
-Livy Penney in Ellsworth American.

The Sultan Objects.

Beyond Tangier l see between
ranges of metalliferous mountains,
upon whose slopes herds of wild
horses, enough to set up the Cont
nent with cavalry OF tame cattle for
it's commissariat, could be raised,
vast alluvial plains, well watered,
utterly untouched by industry, yet
capable of bearing grain and fruit
enough to supply half Europe

What Manning Knew About Barilla.

What Manning Knew About Barilln.
Manning's logic was always forti-
fed by that readiness to assume
Omniscience,' which is SO useful in
the ecclesiastical career, and by a
gracious Providence so lavishly be-
slowed. There was once a debate in
parliament about the ''barilla duty"
and as the term was little known,
an admirer of Manning went to him
for an explanation.
Dear me-" replied Manning, mot
know what harilla means! Twill ex-
plain it. You see, in commerce,
there are two methods of proceeding.
At one time you load your ship with
a particular commodity, such as tea,
wine or tobacco; at another time
you select a variety of articles suit
able to the port Of destination. And
in the language of trade we describe
this latter operation as barilla."
Manning did not speak the Ian
guage of trade, because he was as
Stunning more knowledge than he
possessed; but for that reason he al
ready spoke the language of papal
histories and catechisms. The in
quirer about 'barilla" soon found
out that it meant an alkali obtained
from the ashes of a Spanish vege-
table. "Splendide mendax" he may
have thought when he learned the
truth, land his faith in Manning's
infallibility was no longer the same"
