THE MAKING OF A GENTLEMAN.

Robert Gilmore, one demerit for talk
ing without permission" said Mr. Cell
very loud, indeed, from the desk.
Poor Rob! 1t was rather hard on him,
for it was more Alexis fault than his.
Aleck had begun the whispering, and on
such an interesting subject that Rob,
instead of bluffing him off, as he knew
he ought to do. listened and answered,
and got into troubls. But Aleck was
not caught.
Pm going to fix that little snob after
school," was what Aleck had whispered
to Rob.
"What snob?' asked Rob, with quick
curiosity; he didn't know what snob
Was. l don't think Aleck knew very
well himself.
why, that dandy Walter Lindsay,
with tassels on his boots. Tassels." con-
tinued Aleck in deep disgust; what
sort of boy would wear tassels on his
b ots?'
Rob looked across at the boy with the
offending tassels. He was yawning over
his spelling book. kicking his heels to-
gether. twisting stray lock of hair. and
altogether behaving very much like
other small boys.

How to Read a Book.

The first thing to do in reading book,
or a story in magazine, or any other
thing worth reading, is to ascertain who
wrote it. An author talks to us in his
books. and just as we like to know the
friends we talk with. we should like to
know the name of the man or woman
whose published thoughts are entering
into our daily lives. Therefore make it a
rule, girl, to read the title-page of the vol
ume in your hand; and If there be pre-
face, unless it be a Very long ne,read that
too. You will in this way establish an
acquaintance with your author; you will
know him by sight, and soon you will
know him more intimately. Every au-
thor has little ways and words of his
own, and you will find yourself recog-
nizing these very swiftly and lovingly.
By and-by. when you happen in your
story on some phrase. or turn of a SEN
tence, or little iesting mannerism which
belongs to the author you are growing
we'll acquainted with, you will feel
pleased, and the story will mean great
deal more to you than if it were simply
the work of an unknown person, whose
tones and looks were quite unfamiliar

WHAT A LITTLE GIRL DID.

A good many years ago, little girl
of twelve years was passing the old
brick prison in the city of Chicago, on
her way to school, when she saw hand
reckoning to her from cell window,
and heard weary voice asking her to
please bring him something to read.
For many weeks after that she went
to the prison every Sunday, carrying
the poor prisoner each time book to
read, from her fathers library. At last
one day she was called to his death
bed
Little girl" said he, "you have saved
my soul; promise me that you will do all
your life for the poor people in prison
what you have done for me-"
The little girl promised, and she has
kept her promise. Linda Gilbert has
been all her life the steadfast friend of
the prisoner. She has established good
libraries in many prisons, visited and
helped hundreds of prisoners; and from
the great number whom she has helred,
six hundred are now, to her knowledge,
leading honest lives. Prisoners from all
parts of the country know and love her
name. and surely the God of prisoners
must look upon her merciful work with
interest.
And all this because a little girl
heard and needed the call to help suf-
fering Union Gospel.

ADVICE AND CHEER FOR
FARMER BOYS.

1t is rarely young farmer can have
particle of excuse for not obtaining either
a literary or business education. Some

their doors open to those who wish to

money and without price. have OBJ

TWO STORIES OF TWO QUEENS.

The following is an interesting story
of the little Queen of Holland. 1t must
be bewildering relation for little girl
to be her mothers queen. 1t must
take very wise woman to be mother
and a subject Of the same little girl
Her Majesty Wilhelmina, the girl Queen
of Holland. is at present only fourteen
years OF age, and she is credited with an
even larger measure of caprice and pre-.
cocity than is usually granted to less ex-
allied young ladies at that interesting
period OF life. Her mother, the Queen
Regent, therefore thinks it well at times
to deal somewhat severely with Wilhel-
mina's little ways. Lately the young
Queen desiring to speak to her mother,
knocked-not. perhaps. in the most dig
nifed fashion-at the door OF the room
in which the Queen Regent was engaged.
"Who is there?' at is the Queen OF
Hollandw (mperiously). Then she
must not enter!" (peremptorily). AT this
rebuff the little Queen suddenly changed
her tactics, and, softening her tones,
said, winningly, Mamma, it is your own
little daughter that loves you and would
like to kiss YOU" you may come in"
The story is pretty, but it is doubtful
il it is true. 1t bears a close resemb-
lance to a story that is very old, told of
Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince
Albert.
The Queen was Prince Albert's wife,
but she was still his Queen. 1t is said
that when they had been married a
short time they had little dispute. 1t
ended in Prince Albert goingi to his
room. The Queen, it is said, was the
first one to be sorry. She went to the
door of her husbands room and knocked.
who is there?" he asked. THE Queen"
was the answer. "She can not come in"
was the response of the Prince. The
Queen, it is said, waited few minutes
and knocked again.
"Who is there?" was asked.
Victoria, your wife," was the reply;
and the door was opened.

Holland as the sweet little girl, always
