Talking Too Much.

Many person talks too much, and
finds when too late that silence would
have been golden The Mongols have d
story on this wise:
Two geese, when about to start south
ward on their autumn migration, were
entreated by frog to take him with
them. On the geese expressing theil
Willingness to do so if a means of con-
veyance could be devised, the frog pro.
duced stalk cf strong grass, got the
two geese to take it, one by each end,
while he chung to it by his mouth in the
middle.
In this manner the three were max
ing the journey successfully, when they
were noticed from below by some men
who loudly expressed their admiration of
the device and wondered who had been
clever enough to discover it. The frog
opened his mouth to say, sit was ], " lost
his hold, fell to the earth and was
dashed to pieces.
Do not let pride induce you to speak
when safety requires you to be silent

The use of pillow is not Il matter Of
mere blind usage. 1t has a physiological
basis We sleep for the most part on
the side, and without pillow the head
would be uncomfortably and harmfully
lower than the body. 1t will be remein-
bered that Jacob, when fleeing from
Esau, took stone for pillow. He
needed something for the purpose, and
nothing better than stone presented it
self. Such practices are common in
Africa at the present day. Some people
rest the neck instead of the head on hard
pillows.
In Africa extraordinary headgears
make this practice necessary, and many
civilized woman has been compelled
by somewhat similar couture to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent pos
ture. A consideration of the physiolog-
ical reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness They should merely
bring the head to the natural level.
Some pillows are much too thick. BY
bending the head unduly they interfere
with the outflow Of the venous blood
from the head. The pillow that just
fills up the space above the shoulder best
suits its end.-Detroit Free Press.

having again loaded up went on to look
for the black named beauty which had
killed Kaptein. Slowly and with the
greatest care proceeded up the kloof,

nearly an hour hunting after the lion.
Once | thought l saw something move
in a clump of tambouki grass, but
could not be sure, and when l trod out
the grass could not find him.
"At last l got up to the head of the
kloof, which made a cul de sac. 1t was
formed of wall of rock about fifty feet
liph. Down this rock trickled little
waterfall, and in front of it, some seven
ty feet from its face, was great piled
up mass of powders, in the crevices and
on the top of which grew ferns and grass
and stunted bushes. This mass was
about twenty-five feet high. The sides
of the kloof here were also very steep.
Well, got up to the top of the nullah
and looked all round. No signs of the
lion. Evidently had either overlooked
him farther down or he had escaped
right away. 1t was very vexatious, but
still three lions were not bad bag for
one gun before dinner, and l was fain to
be content.
Accordingly departed back again,
making my way around the isolated
pillar of powders and beginning to feel
that was pretty well done up with ex-
citement and fatigue, and should be
more so before had skinned those three
lions. When had got, as nearly as

"Then on a sudden | saw something
sufficiently alarming. On the top of the
mass of powders opposite to me, stand

had been crouching there, and now arose
as though by magic. There he stood
lashing his tail, just like statue of the
animal on the gateway of Northumber

Across the main;
The grim old tyraut winter now
Enjoys his reign.

His dread, triumphal, awful course
There's none can stay.

Ger all the land,
On plain and hill and dale, he's laid
His icy hand.
The lake, the river, he's CONCEALED
With icy breath:

The touch OF death.

With rapture glows,
For now he can his ulster wear
And hide his clothes.
