II is all very well 70 preach against in
discriminate charity, and TO those who
are inclined TO benevolence the lesson is
most valuable. There is too much care
less giving, for charity no doubt often
breeds mendicancy, and.if there is to be
giving it ought to be thoughtful, to the
end that il may do good and not evil.
Besides the charitably disposed, how
ever. are those who are careless of the
misfortunes Of their neighbors and
those whose seliisllness is rarely tempt
ed TO make sacrifice for the happiness
Of their kind.
When such as these do charity they
are the important beneficiaries, and it is
70 them that the divine precept concern
ing the blessedness Of giving applies. It
matters little whether these give with
discrimination or indiscrimination; their
gifts are so few that they cannot work
much harm. If the encouragement Of
begging depended ON the occasionally
and spasmodically generous. the trade
would assuredly die out. II is well not
to preach the cold truth to them, for
they need little enough excuse for but

PRICE ONE CENT


Archibald Price. one Of the pioneer
settlers OF kanawhR valley, West Vir-
glnia. was making maple sugar in a
grove across the river from his house,
when he caught sight of three Indians
skulking in the vicinity. sThe var
mintsT' he said to himself. 80 they
mean to pounce on me when I've two
pals O. sap aboard"
He was just starting for some of the
more distant trees. OF course he changed
his purpose on the instant. but he was
quick witted enough 60 give no sign OF
the fact. and for n few moments busted
himself about the boiling place. whistling
merrily.
If he set of across the river in his
canoe. the Indians would pursue and
shoot him. He had brother who was
a sea diver. From him he had learned
something about diving bells. and he
now took a sudden resolve 10 make his
kettle serve him in that capacity. He
emptied il, but in such a way that an
observer at little distance would have
supposed he was filling it from a tub
standing near.
As soon as IL was emptied he lifted It
quickly, and hurried down the river
bank, where he raised it. in an inverted
position, over his head. the rim resting
on his shoulders. and walked into the
water. The bank was steep, and the
water was soon up to his shoulders.
Keeping firm hold of the kettle, he
proceeded. The water got deeper and
deeper until it was several feet over the
top of the kettle
The improvised diving bell answered
its purpose excellently, supplying air for
him 10 breathe until he emerged ON the
home side of the river.
So Mr.. Price saved himself and his
iron kettle from falling into the hands
of the sayages.-Youth's Companion.

dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism.
