A few years ago a little girl applied to 4
pastor in one of our large cities for admis
sion into his Sunday school She was told
that the classes were so fun there was nc
room for her, and that the Iourch was 80
small that no more classes could be organ
lied. Much disappointed, the little girl
began to saw pennies-her family WA
poor-for the purpose of enlArging the
church in order hat she and other chill
dren like her might be accommodated.
She told no one OF her m bitious purpose,
however, 30 that when the pastor of this
church was called to her bedside a few
months later, to comfort her in her severe
illness, he saw nothing unusual, only a
frail child Of SIX and a half years.
The little sufferer died, and a week LATER
there were fourd In her battered red
pocketbook, which had been her savings
bank, ffty-seven pennies, and a scrap Of
paper that told, in childish print, the story
Of her ambition and the purpose of har
self denial.
The story of that little red pocketbook
ana its contents, and of the unfaltering
faith OF its little owner, got abroad It
touched the heart Of saint and sinner alike.
Her inspiration became a prophecy, and
men labored and women a and children
saved to aid in its fuliIlment. These fifty
seven pennies became the nucleus of a fund
that in six years grew to $4,000, and to
day this heroine's picture, Life size. hangs
c~onspicuously in the hallway of a college
building at which 1,400 students attend,
and connected with which there are .

Humboldt says that at the time of the
discovery of America the potato was
cultivated in all the temperate parts Of
South America from Chill up the coast.
The Spaniards first noticed it in Peru.
The variety Of potato cultivated in Eu-
rope and North America grows wild in
Chill. Different species of the plant are
found growing wild in most parts Of
South America, and, it is claimed by
many botanists, in Mexico and Arizona.

Liszt's Gypsy protege.


The great pianist, who was passion
ately fond of the gypsies, once endeav-
ored to educate and civilize gypsy lad,
but failed ignominiogsly, The wild spir-
it of the nature Of countless generations
could not be tanned, and though as a
child liking the novelty of the new life
the young gypsy submitted, but with a
bad grace, to the instruction of the
teacher Liszt provided, he soon broke
loose, and became arrogant and inor'
dinately conceited. However, his un-
tutored playing was excellent, and he
became the pet of those foolish women
in society who are ever on the lookout
for come new craze to feed their fighty
craving after variety, Soon the child of
nature pined for the freedom Of the fields
and savagery, and 80 he went. he ran
away three times and was brought back,
and then List let him go for good.
In after years he turned up again in
one of the numerous wandering gypsy
orchestras, but he was only then a medi-
ocre player-instruction had actually
killed the real ability that as child lie
had possessed. So was shattered one Of
the dreams Of Liszt's life; he learned
that a savage man could not be tanned
quiteso easily as savage beast, as many
had discovered before him.-Belgravia.

Weed MAIDS in Germany.

The Germans have some educational
ideas which we in this country have bor-
rowed with profit, and there are still
others which we might be wise to adopt,
Among them no doubt are the wall
maps of different species of pestiferous
weeds, which hang in schoolrooms where
the children can see them as long as they
20 to school.
A practical ides underlies the display
ing of these maps. It is well known
that farmers are prone to treat all weeds
alike, and hardly to observe any differ
ence between them, whereas the natures
of weeds differ as much as the natures
of other plants do, and the sort of
treatment which will exterminate one
will sometimes increase and multiply
another.
It is important therefore that the farm
er and gardener should understand the
weeds which they are trying to exterml=
nate. .
It Is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colored pic
lures of the most pestifercus weeds, in
all stages of growth, and also the ways
in which they scatter their seeds and
propagate themselves. BY learning them
thoroughly, through seeing them day by
day on the walls, the child grows mp
with knowledge of the best way to ex-
terminate them.-Youth's Companion.

The wearing Of Rings.

ssIt is constant surprise to me" said
q man tho other day, "that a woman
with palpably ugly hand will call
everybody's attention to it by hanging
her fingers with sparkling rings. A GER
tain intuitive vanity that is common to
men and women alike ought to teach
her better. Freckles, big knuckles and
ugly or i'll kept nails are all accentuated
by snowy rings. I've seen woman

with big diamonds, the white sparkle
and dull gold setting of which intensi-
fed the redness and coarseness of the
fingers they encircled. long to tell
such one to put her jewels at her
throat, on her arms, in her hair-any-
where but on her hands.

she wears never more than one ring, and

hoop of carbuncles or an old English
ring Of hammered gold, but she oftenest
wears superb alexandrite that shows
black in some lights and deep seayreen

in banishing pearls, emeralds and dia-
monds or any conventional styles from
her ring box."-Her Point of View in

The Sultan Of Morocco.


It is generally stated and believed tina,
the sultan of Morocco, like. the czar, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
6ead of his people, but this is not quite
t1ne. Though one Of his many titles is
that of "guardian and commander of
the true believers" this authority, is
very shadowy-at least as far as the
Kairouin is concerned the sultan
had an opportunity of Judging sonnet three
years ago of the danger that might re-
suit from his interference in purely
church government. For some reason
or other he commanded thst the mokad-
dunn, or chief trustee of the university
an Office which has been hereditary in
one family since tine death Of the Tu-
nisiau Fatma-be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise un
wonted authority In church matters that
he,:very wisely bethought him to an
ncunce that in. a dream the apparition
of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstate the
mokaddum. The mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs Of the uniyer-
sity.-Fortnightly Review.

Intarmarriass in Eurasia.

There is no remote chance Of Eurasia
ever being reabsorbed by either Of its
original elements; the prejudices of both
Europeans and natives are far too vigor-
GUS to permit of much intermarriage
with people who are neither one
nor the other. Occasionally an up
country planter, predestined to a. a.remote
and "jungly" existence, comes down to
Calcutta and draws his. bride from the
upper circles of Eurasia-this not so
often now as. formerly. Occasionally,
too, a young shopman with the red Of
Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried
off by his landlady's daughter, while
Tommy Atkins falls comparatively
easy prey.

wife is much rarer, for there -Eurasian

A certain cure for freckles is carbolic
acid, and its effects are not only certain,
but quick. The skin must first be washed
thoroughly in warm water, and then
dried with soft towel. Each freckle,
or bunch Of them, must be dealt with
separately. Stretch the skin with the
fingers, and touch the freckle with q,
drop of pure carbolic acid. Allow this
to dry on the skin, and in few minutes
it will burn and grow white. The skin
thus burned will fall off in week or
30, and leave a new rosy white skin in
place of the freckle. To prevent burns
from being very painful and from leav-
ing o bad scar on the skin, the blisters
formed should be pierced with silk
thread soaked in sublimate solution,
Leave the thread in position while the
outside of the blister is covered with 9
10 per cent. solution Of iodoform vase
line. Fresh salye should be applied
daily, and no pain will be experienced,
and severe contraction and wrinkling
of the skin after the wound is healed
will be prevented.-Yankee Blade.

Virus and Venom.


The difference between venom and q
virus is very marked. Both are poisops
and both of organic origin, but venom
is produced in Isecretmg organs COM
monty called poison glands, and is intro
duced into the system by means especial
ly adapted for the purpose, such as stings
OF fangs. On the other hand, a virus Is
the result Of disease or putrefaction, and
generally possesses the property of excit-
ing in the system into which it is intro
duced the disease which produced the
virus. A virus commonly produces lit
tie, if any, local disturbance; venom
generally causes great pain, often severe
inflammation and swelling. Venom has
a marked, local effect; virus causes .
general disturbance Of the system.-St.
