DIDN'T SAY WHAT HE MEANT.

To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule to follow
always. An amusing story which il
Illustrates the value of this course was
told some years ago of an old gentle
man visiting "a rolling mill for the first
time. He had heard wonderful stories
of the machinery in the mill, and he
was DESTROYS Of putting some of them
to test.
81 have been told" he said to the
Zimmerman, as he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling,
that good Zimmerman can break
the crystal of watch with that thirty
ton hammer"
Yes, sir, said the Zimmerman, sit
can be done"
II should like to see it, said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his
watch pocket.
Il can do it, sir
"And will you ~ said the visitor,
drawing out his watch. Come, | am
anxious to see it tried"
He laid his watch on the great anvil
plate. the hammer rose to it's full
height, and the next instant all its
ponderous weight, with crashing
force that shook the ground for an
acre round, came down on the watch.
There, sir" said the Zimmerman,
quietly ''if you don't believe that
crystal is broken, just stoop down and
you can see it sticking to the hammer.
The curious old gentleman swallow
ed a whole procession of Jumps and
gasps before he could speak.
But forgot to say" he exclaimed,
that it was to break the crystal with
out injuring the watch"
SO yes" said the Zimmerman
''yes, know; have heard of that
rubbish myself, but it's all CANNON.
the crystal every time"
If the visitor had said what he
meant he would undoubtedly have
saved his watch, but it must be con-
fessed that if the Zimmerman had not
been one of the meanest men in the
world he would have saved it anyhow.

HONEST FINNS.

Finnish honesty is proverbial. In
no other European state are life and
property more secure than in Finland,
and the author of Russian Charac-
teristicsh says that one may not only
leave trunks and portmanteaus about
the streets without fear of having
them stolen. but that they may even
be open or unlocked and not an arti-
Gle will be touched, In country dis
tricts the houses are, for the most
part, upbolted and unbarred, even
while the family is away; and in trade
the Firms are not only scrupulously,
but heroically, quixotically honest.
A tradesman will tell the whole
truth about his wares, even when he
knows perfectly well that by doing so
he loses Il customer whom partial
truth would have secured.
This seems to be exactly the kind
of apparatus | am looking for" said a
traveller to merchant of Helsingfors,
in reference to an article that would
cost at least seventy-five dollars. 4
will take it at once if, knowing what
| want it for, you can honestly recon-
mend me 10 take it."
No. sir, | can't recommend you to
take it, was the reply, nor have |
anything in stock just now that
would suit you"
So the possible customer left the
shop, and purchased what he want
ed elsewhere.
Here's your fare" said a gentle
man to q peasant, who had driven
him for three hours through the woods
and he handed him four shillings.
mo sir, that's double my fare"
he replied, returning half the money.
And when he was told that he might
keep it for his honesty he slightly
nodded his thanks, with the dignity
of one of natures gentlemen.
In Finland there is also a deep and
prevailing respect for law.
Can have a shot at an elk?"
asked stranger of peasant who
lived on the fringe of a forest we'll
stocked with this noble game.
No, sir; it $ against the law"
What is the penalty?'
1.-Two hundred Finnish marks"
"All right! Will you come along
with me, if | agree to pay the fiue?'
No, l won't; it's against the law,
and I'm not going to break itn'

MATERNAL DEVOTION.

In the western part of Massachusetts,
a fire recently destroyed a fine barn
on a stock farm, and a number of
blooded horses and cows persisted in
the flames.
Soon after the fire the owner, walk
ing over the ruins, came upon an OBJ
iect which touched him more than the
sight of the charred bodies of his
horses and Jerseys.
There sat an old black hen. He
wondered that she did not move her
head to look at him as he came near
her, but he thought she must be
asleep. He polled her with his cane,
and to his surprise the wing which he
touched fell into ashes. Then he
knew that she had been burned to
death.
But from under her came a faint lit
tie peep, and pushing her aside with
his cane, the man found ten live yell
low chickens. The hen had sacrificed
her own life to save them.

oTW4S EYER THUS"

In Virginia there once lived an old
negro named Pompey Legans who con-
graduated himself on always being
ready for the Lord to take him. He
would often pray that the angel might
come after him right then and there.
One night while calling for the angel
some boys, who overheard him,
knocked at the door. Whose dat?"
said the old darkey raising up. The
angel of the Lord, who has come af-
ter Pompey Legans," said one of the
boys. "Lawd, Masser Angel, dat

A CASE OF GRIPPE.

An old woman sat on bench in the
Broad Street Station wiping her eyes
with her handkerchief, when a portly
man, full of sympathy, said to anoth-
er:
1T is too sad to see falling tears
1t always makes my heart ache to
see an aged person in trouble. y
Walking up to her, he kindly said:
MY good woman, why do you weep?"
She took down her handkerchief,

THREE DOPES.

Seaward at morn my doves flew free;
AT eve they circled back to me.
The first was Faith the second Hope;
The third-the whitest-Charity.
Above the plunging surge's play,
Dreamlike they lowered, day by day.
At last they turned and bore to me
Green signs of peace through niehtfall gray.
No shore forlorn, no lovelest land
Their gentle eyes had left unscanned,
Mid hues of twilight heliotrope,
Or day-break fires by heaven-breath famed.
Quick visions of celestial grace;
Hither they watt, from earth'S broad space,
Kind thoughts for all humanity;
They shine with radiance from Gods face.
All. since my heart they choose for home,
Why loose them-forth again to roam9
Yet look, they rise With loftier scope
They wheel in flight toward heavens pure
dome.
Fly, messengers that find no rest
Save in such toll as makes man blest,
Your homes in Gods immensely;
We hold you but at his behest
