An Old Spanish Story.


There is good old story told in Spain,
that runs somewhat to this effect:
There was certain man who was gifted
with very peculiar kind of second sight.
When he went to doctors he could se.
outside the door the ghosts Of all those pa
tients who had died during the time they
had been attended by the doctor.
One day he himself fell i'll and it became
necessary that he should seek the assistance
OF physician, SO he started out to find the
best one he could. He visited the houses
OF all the medical men who were supposed
to be the cleverest in the town, but he
found all their doorways so blocked up, a. it
were. with ghosts. that he did not like to
60 in.
After traversing all the principal streets
and not finding a single doctor whom he
thought he could trust, he ut last turned
into a side turning, and outside the door O:
q seemingly Insignificant doctor he saw
only one little white ghost glimmering;
therefore, thinking he must be . very
clever doctor who had only killed one per-
son, he went into the house and was ut
tended to by the doctor. Az he was leav-
ing the doctor said to him:
Il cannot think who recommended You
to come to an Insignificant man like my
self. seeing that during the whole time
have practiced have only had one patient,
and l am quite sure that he did not tell
you. "-London Tit-BitA

The Two Big Oceans.


When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed there was . great cry about the
dangers courted in opening up such .
ditch" some extremists declaring that
the lives Of millions Of human beings
were at stake" This general alarm was
caused by the argument that the waters
on the Pacific side Of the isthmus were
hundreds Of feet higher than were those
ON the Atlantic side and that the great
rush Of waters to even up the difference
IN the level Of the two oceans would
drown all southern North America and
most OF Mexico and Yucatan.

KING DAVID.

Thou shepherd king, not Of the lotus land.
But, - flame the sacrifice along,
Leaping anointed on Philistia's wrong
From Judah's woe. Thou mighty Of soul and
hand,
Leaving the sheepfold's vigil to command
Thy Aocks Of men and, In Jehovah strong.
To temples Of the ages BY thy song
NaEshaling singers from his heavenly band;
We hail thee glorious, but We behold
With vassal Joy strife amid thy breast
Beyond the wars of kings, the manifold
YsArnings and throes Of great hearts un-
rest,
Seeking the lovely with desire untold
lncarnate or through regions Of the blest.

ships captured cargoes Of slaves the latter
were set free at once or M soon after a.
possible. But It il not always the case.
Captured slaves are frequently, If not al
ways, taken on board and landed at the
nearest British port-say, for arguments
sake, Durham. Natal. When landed they
are taken to the police station and kept in
prison till a certain day named by the local
authorities
Tho announcements are then published
by crier and otherwise that on such and
such day 30 many captured slaves will
b distributed to any one requiring serv-
ants for certain number of years. The
only qualification necessary in order to OBJ
tain such servants is a position of respecta-
bility in the locality. such rs belonging to
some profession or trade or possessing in
dependent means.
Now, suppose require a servant. sign

unfortunate native get tired OF being bull
he'd and run away, simply notify the
police authorities to that effect and thew
send out their native police in search Of
the runaway, who generally takes shelter
in the nearest kraal.
On being captured he is brought back to
the police station, logged and returned to
me-his master. Should my servant do
anything think wrong can also have
him logged by the police at any time
