tached The night had been clear
and starlight when the ''meetin took
in," but as the crowd poured out
into the street an array of hackmen
with open umbrellas was drawn up
ON the sidewalk. All who had UNI
brellas with them at once opened
them; ladies tied handkerchiefs over
their new bonnets and tucked up
their dresses to keep them from tho
wet.
Then they stepped out into the
shower and found the night exactly
as they had left it. Some wag had
conceived the whole thing as a big
joke and paid the hacllmen to help
carry it out Any one who doubts
the truth of this can try the effect

illustrating ch,rlre,,s Books.

A field of work that contains many
possibilities is the illustration of chill
dren's books. But to achieve true
success in this line demands the ex-
ercise of the highest and test quail
ties of an artistic temperament. In
the first place, in order to appeal to
a youthful audience, il is necessary
to possess a direct simplicity in deal
ing with ones subject. Children and
childlile, not childish, natures come
nearest to q true understanding of
the mysteries of creation. A further
quality desirable is an imagination
which is able to invest all living
things with an individuality and a
meaning Of their own in the great
order of things,
Very dear to the hearts of lads
and lasses are these stories which
have for personages in their drama
birds, flowers and insects, with d
background of sunshine or storm,
forest, dell or glade. The pictures
illustrating such tale ought all to
be made out of doors where the Incl
dent might have actually happened,
and where indeed, as the pencil trav-
els over the paper and the living
things come and go in the sunshine,
it needs but very little imagination
to weave endless fancies and quaint
conceits, winning readily from ma
ture herself the material in poetry,
prose and picture for a dozen books
for little folks. .-Maude Haywood in
Ladies' Home Journal.

A near kinsman of the czar who
visits Russia frequently, and who is
well known for his frankness as well

pugnant to that rulers feelings. The
princes conversation might be sum-
married. in this way;
Alexander has no idea of doing
wrong to any one. His heart is full
of kindness He is happy only when
surrounded by his family circle.
1T is true that the foulest malGd-
ministration and persecution are
going on all about him; but he, poor
fellow, is incapable of seeing them.
He hears only the reports of minis
ters, who know that he does not like
to be worried.
1.-THE poor man is so burdened
with fat that he can scarcely do any
work; his temperament is sluggish;
he lacks intelligence; when he signs
papers he has no idea that he is doing
more than an exercise in penman

HE is physically and mentally
incapable of supervising any de-
partnent of the government, even
the military, and rs consequence
the country is left entirely to officials
who divide up power among them

The great excellence of preaching
is To be intelligible to all. even to the
most unlearned. Cardinal Cheverus
after preaching his first sermon in
the English language, was in some
doubt If he had made himself under,

Wishing to ascertain the fact be
asked a laboring man, whom he had
noticed IN the congregation, what he
thought of the sermon. The man
replied.
Your sermon was not Ike most
others There was not a single dlc.
tionary word in it. All the words
were easy 10 understand.
NJ. Cheverus was satisfied with the
reply, and in telling Of the incident
would say that it was the highest
praise he had ever received. Youth =

Whistling Buoys.

Sixty-two ''whistling" buoys are
employed in the lighthouse service,
the biggest of them costing $1,O75
each, and being audible at distance
of fifteen miles. The sounds they
utter are inexpressibly mournful
and saddening. They consist of an
iron pear shaped bulb, with tube
running through the middle and ex-
tending thirty-two feet downward
into the water, At the upper end of
the tube is adjusted a locomotive
whistle, through which the air, auto
matically compressed by motion of
the waves, is liberated in horrible
toots. Buoys of this description are
particularly useful in foggy waters.

A House Built of Human Skulls.

All lovers of grewsome, uncanny and
horrible tales well remember the story
of Timor and his famous Pyramid Of

in the building of that horrible edifce is
