THE STORY OF A POULTICE.
After They Got 1t on the BOY Had Some
thing to Say.

Family discipline is still maintained
in some American families, as of course
it ought to be in all. The Rehoboth
Herald furnishes an instance. A small
boy got silver i'll his foot, according to
The Herald, and his mother expressed
her intention of putting poultice ON
the wound. The boy, with the natural
foolishness which is bound up in the
heart of child, objected to the proposed
remedy.
81 won't have any poultice," he de-
clared.
eyes, you will,' said both mother
and grandmother firmly. The majority
was two to one against him, and at bed
time the poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted so stoutly that
switch was brought into requisition. 1t
was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was to stand
at the bedside. The boy was told that if
he "opened his mouth he would re-
ceive something that would keep him
quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot, and
he opened his mouth,

Once more the little fellow opened

But the uplifted switch awed him in
to silence.
In "a minute more the poultice was
firmly in place. and the boy was tucked
in bed.
"ThGre, now, said his mother. 1.-THE
old silver will be drawn out, and Ed

The mother and grandmother were
moving triumphantly away when u
shrill voice piped from under the bed

General Grant In Japanese Eyes.

In The Century is printed transla-
tion Of portions of a quaint japanese
life of General Grant. The following is
an extract from it.:
In the spring of his seventeenth year
he expressed great thought to his
father and addressed him, saying, II
have i'll my mind the thought that,
when four years from today have passed,
| shall not be doing this kind Of labor. -
The father, thinking it a strange thing.
said: DO you hate your father heredi-
tary trade? Do you hate to become a
leather maker and spend your life thus?
What profession, then, do you expect to
adopt in future? Do you expect to go
into the fields carrying Il sickle and a
hoe? Do yOu expect to sell and buy
things i'll the market? Or do you fix
your eyeballs upon books Of 10, 900 vol
umes, and desire to speculate reasons
and promote moralities, and become "a
man Of wide knowledge?" Guarando
Kuen, replying to these questions, said
''To cultivate the field and become %
farmer is well, but to spend the whole
life as Il hireling is not we'll. To take q
soroban Counting machine) and become
a merchant and gain profit is well, but
along with it to make bad practice is
not my desire. Contrary to all this, our
ancestors, in the>war of independence
of this country, sowed great merit, 1
hear. l also, entering military school,
will have to show my arm i'll the time
Of great things. Oh, Father Kuen, how
is it?" The father, being exceedingly
glad, did as he wished.

The Banavia Flea,

All tourists in the highlands know
Banavia. They may not know why
lobster is, i'll the west highlands, called
"a Banavia flea" From book referred
to we gather that good many years
ago an American was stopping at the
Banavia hotel, and he made himself
very obnoxious by his contemptuous re-
marks on Scottish scenery. ben New
is" he said, 'do you call that Il noun
tain? You should see our mighty Rock
les Loeb Linnhe! Do you call that
lake? You should see our Lake Supe-
rior!" and SO on. The highland waiter
was exasperated, and procuring live
lobster he secreted it, in requital of the
insults, in the Americans bed. Hardly
had the American gone to sleep when
the lobster caught him firmly by the
toe, and he jumped out of bed with
yell and rang for the boots. "Boots,"
he said solemnly, rubbing his toes as he
spoke, "you may not have such big
mountains and big lakes here as we
have in the states, but you have the
most tarnation big tleas 1 ever expert

WHERE is tIADES2
Different Ideas as to the Location of the
Internal Regions.


Internal Regions.
The ancient philosophers We're of the
opinion that the informal regions were
located at an equal distance from all
parts of the earth's surface, which may
be the foundation for the modern idea
which locates hell at the center of our
planet This belief i'll centrally locat-
ed place of torment or utter annihila-
ton appears to have existed among tho
Jews at very early date also. Accord
ing to their belief, there We're three pas
sages leading to it-tho wilderness, by
which route Dathan, Korah and Abiram
descended; the sea, because it is written
that Jonah cried to God out of the belly
of hell, and third passage, which last
was at Jerusalem
This third and last idea of the mouth
Of hell being located i'll the capital Of
Palestine is founded upon the Biblical
passage which says 1.-The fire of the
Lord is i'll Zion, and his furnace is in
Jerusalem" The Mohammedans, who
are noted for their superstitious regard
for the number seven, declare that hell
is provided with seven gates, each in
tended for the followers of the different
religions. The first is for recreant Mus
sulmans; the second, very wide and
with shutter always standing invitingly
ajar, is for Christians only; the third,
located near the second and almost as
wide and roomy, is reserved for Jews;
the fourth gate is the one through which
the spirits Of the Sabeans will enter the
land of torment. Like the last two, it is
wide enough to do IL wholesale business
without crowding. The fifth is small
loophole Of gate intended for the sect
Of the Mali, a sect SO insignificant that
the Mohammedans' hell idea apparently
grudgingly allowed a separate opening
for their spirits when on the way to
eternal punishment The sixth gate, the
only circular opening i'll the walls of
hell, is the gate by which the pagans
will enter Why the pagan gate is be-
lieved to be circular l have never seen
explained. Tho seventh gate in tho
walls of the Mohammedan hell is re-
served for the hypocrites of all llreligions.
Strange to say, it is one of the smallest
of the gates.
Winston, the English astronomer, be-
lieved hell to be located on a comet, and
that one moment the damned were suf-
fering i'll the blistering rays of the sun
and the next in cold hundreds of degrees
below zero.
The Christian idea of hell, old as it
is, gives but very dim outline of tho
probable location of the "lako which
burneth forever and ever" also there is
o controversy as to whether it really
burns forever and ever" or only has
effects which are everlasting in their
nature. st. Louis Republic.

THE OLD FRIENDS.
The old friends, the old friends

The old friends, the old friends
We loved when we We're young.
With sunshine on their faces ~
And music on their tonguesl
The bees are in the almond flower.
Tho birds renew their strain,
But the old friends, once lost to u.
Can never come again.
The old friends, the old fricndsi
Their brow is lined with care;
They've burrows in the faded check
And silver in the hair,
But to me they arc the old friends still.
In youth and bloom the same
AS when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted in the game.
The old men, the old men, &
How slow they creep alongl ",
How naughtily we scoffed at them II
In days when we were youngi -
Their pressing and their doing, 4"
Their prato of times gone by. ".
Their shiver like an aspen leaf
If but a breath went by. :.
But we, we are the old mon now,
Our blood is faint and chill;
We cannot leap the mighty brook
Or climb the breakneck hill.
We maunder down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And the young men, half ashamed to laugh,
Yet pass us with smile.
But the young men, the young men,
Their strength is fair to see
The straight back and the springy stride,
Tho eye as falcon free,
The shout above the frolic wind
AS up the hill they go,
But though so high above us now
They soon shall be as low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end,
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend.
But We'll not doubt there's good about
In all of human kind;
So here's health before we go
To those we leave behind.

A TOLSTOl ANECOOTE.
How tho Author Treated Publisher Who
Did Not Know Him.

Did Not Know Him.
The following characteristic little
story of that eccentric genius, Count Leo
Tolstoi is communicated to our Odessa
correspondent by Moscow journalist.
After completing one of his recent short
works the count went in search of a new
publisher. He appeared one forenoon in
the publishing office of q magazine
where he was personally unknown. He
was dressed after tho manner of better
class mauzhik, and the chief of the es-
tablishmont, probably given to Judging
from appearances, was not over polite or
patient i'll listening to the count S re-
quest to have his sketch published, at
the same time taking the manuscript
from his pocket.
"Oh," said the publisher, II really
cannot be bothered. 1t is no use my look
ing at your sketch. We have hundreds
of such things in hand and have really
no time to deal with yours, even though
you We're i'll u position to guarantee the
cost, which 1 very much doubt. "
Tolstoi slowly rolled up his manu-
script, and replacing it in his pocket OBJ
served:
II must be laboring under some mis-
apprehension. l have been told that the
public likes to read what l write. "
1.-THE public likes to read what you
write! exclaimed the publisher, closely
scrutinizing him. "Who are you? What
is your name?'
My name is Leo Tolstoi"
The astonished and abashed publisher
was instantly Oh the other side of the
counter, expressing the most profuse
apologies and entreating the count to do
him the distinguished honor Of permit
ting him to publish the sketch. Tolstoi
quietly buttoned up his coat with the
manuscript in his breast pocket, saying:
"You have 10 time, you say, having so
many hundreds of these things in hand.
must find publisher who has time,
and one who will not require a guaran-
tee. Dasvidanya!' And the count walk
ed off in his usual nonchalant manner.

Stevenson's Pity For ISeggars.

Stevenson pity was a very marked
quality, and it extended to beggars,
which is, l think, to go too far His op-
timism, however, suffered rude shock
in South Audley street one summer aft
ernoon. We met Il stalwart bcggar,
whom refused to sid. Louis, however,
wavered and finally handed him six
pence. The man pocketed the coin, for

THE POET AND HIS HEIR.
He stood upon the bridge CT sighs,

He stood upon the bridge CT sighs,
Fast by the vale of tears,
And with prophetic vision scanned
The swift approaching years.
Then up tho heights Of fame he climbed,
And from that corpse strewn place
Hc-with the light of other days
Looked full in natures face.
Upon tho sands of time he walked,
With footsteps quick and light,
And with IL wreath of glory crowned
Tho moody brow of night.
From dizzy heights In fancy's land
The poet was called down.
His wife with him hal left the heir.
For she had gone to town.
The infant yelled. The poet mournod
As he paced through the room,
And, like Il Spartan, welcomed he
Tho dreaded crack of doom.
