STR4NGE EXPERIENCE OF A LET
TER

Alady in London wished to commun-
icate with friend in America, whose
address she did not know. In order
to obtain the needed information she
wrote to another friend, who also liv-
ed in the new world. The letter was
duly dispatched, but the ship which
carried it was wrecked, and the mails
went to the sea bottom.
They were eventually recovered,
however, and the letter in question,
torn and discolored, found its way
back to the sender. While subjecting
it to a minute examination, the lady
was surprised to find part of another
letter adhering to it, upon which
epistle was the full address OF the
friend with whom she wished to cor
respond. In this strange way, with
out having reached its destination,
her letter had brought to her the an
sWer desired

A PURE ATMOSPHERE.

Keep clear of personalities in gener-
al conversation. Talk of things, OBJ
jects, thoughts. The smallest minds
occupy themselves with personalities.
Personalities must sometimes be
talked, because we have to learn and
find out mems characteristics for legi-
innate objects; but it is to be with
confidential persons. Do not need
lessly report i'll of others. There are
times when we are compelled to say,
Il do not thing Bouncer is a true and
honest man - but when there l.: no
need to express an opinion, let poor
Bouncer swagger away. Others will
take his measure, no doubt, and save
you the trouble of analyzing him and
instructing them. And as far as pos
sible, dwell Oh the good side of hui
man beings. There are family boards
where a constant process of depreciat
ing, assigning motives and cutting up
of character goes forward. They are
not pleasant places. One who is
healthy does not wish to dine at Il
dissecting table. There is evil enough
in man, God knows; but it is not the
mission of every young man or wo-
man to detail and report it all. Keep
the atmosphere as pure as possible
and fragrant with gentleness and
charity.

little girl Lamar revealed one blood,

What is it -

swered, why do you wear your hair

a low, hoarse whisper between his
lifted palms he replied Because,

to the day of his death, entirely got

4 LITTLE QUEENS PET.

When Queen Victoria was a little
girl, before thoughts of the English
throne had ever entered her baby
head, she was the owner of very fine
coop of Cochin China fowls. There
were very large white roosters, beauti
full, plump hens and downy chicks by
the dozen, for the coop was a very
large one.
But the pet of all the petswas a big
rooster, who had learned to know his
little mistress and to follow her around
the Enclosure where he was kept.
Many photographs were taken of the
Cochin China fowls and later, when
the little Victoria grew to be a woman
and was called to the English throne,
she took her Cochin China fowls with
her, and had them installed at Grasse,
one of her country seats.
They are still at Grasse, and for a
generation the queens children and
grandchildren have played with them
and admired them. Last summer, lit
tie Lady Alexandria Duff, the queen
little granddaughter, was taken
to Grasse, and one day her nurse led
her out to where there was a coop of
beautiful Cochin China hens and
chickens, all descended from the ones
the baby Victoria played with go years

TO Il SLEEPING CHILD.

TO Il SLEEPING child.
Slumber; nor wake, nor sigh,
While with thy sweet breath blends
The prayer thy mother sends
To Christ on high,
Pleading with Mary's Siu
To keep from sin and guile,
And save from tempter's vile,
Her precious one.
Rest; while she asks that He
Who little babies prest
Unto His gentle breast,
Will shelter thee
From storm and MONDAY heat;
Leading with loving care,
In pastures green and fair,
Thy tender feet.
Sleep; while she prays that One
Who marks the sparrow's fall,
Who secs and cares for all
Beneath the sun,
Will be her baby's friend,
Sending His angels bright,
To guard him day and night,
Till life shall end.
