A GRATEFUL MILLIONAIRE.

The recent troubles of Africa have

Der of interesting persons living in the
southern portion of that continent.
Among others who have been conapic.
uously noticed is Mr.. Barney" Bar.
nato, who has made a great fortune in
Africa, and of whom q Cape Town
journal tells the following interesting
anecdOte: When a boy Mr.. Barnato
went to the London Jews Free School.
which has produced go many leading
Jews of the day. When he left. his
teacher, who was much attached to
him, gave him a penny and his bless
ing. The years rolled by, the friend
less youth had made his wonderful ca.
reer in South Africa, and the little
Barney" had become a parsonage.
About the time when half London and
Paris were going crazy over the fota.
tion of the Barnato Bank. Barney"
was seized with a fancy to visit his old
schoolmaster. With great d mculty he
managed to hunt up the old man.
DO you recollect," he said, when
they met-''do you recollect giving
your little Barney a penny when he

FLOODING SUCCESS.

young fellow to another. He's so slow
that I can't bear to have any thing to

thing together, we get on. I wantVto
be through and he vans to see how
we'll he can dc. He won't commit any
thing TO memory till he understands it,
and It takes a long time to do that.
I've no patience with Jack"
But" said the friend, you know
very we'll that if Jack plods, he doesn't
do it by fits and starts; he keeps right
on. l THINK Jack is splendid, because
no matter how herd it may be to do a
thing, he keeps right on until it is
done"
And the gentleman who was looking
for a boy to do ODD jobs out Of school
overhead the talk, and instead of TAX
ing jim, who always wanted TO hurry
through, and who was full of starts and
stops, he offered the work to Jack,
who plodded on patiently and did not

pains with the pothOoks and round O's

Lucy to copy-M-o o-Moo.

puzzled look.
That is moo The noise a cow
makes, Lucy. See, it is made up of
pothooks and round o'e, just what you
have been learning on
So Lucy sat down and prepared to
copy Moo" But she did it in a queer
way. She made an NJ at the beginning
of each line, and followed each NJ with
a whole string of o's all across the slate,
like this: MooOoo.
But that isn't right, Lucy" said the
teacher, when the little girl showed her
the slate. You must copy the word

Lucy look ed at the teachers copy,
and then at her own attempts, and

A wife whose husband let's her have
her own way III every thing isn't a hap

A man never makes a good invest

A married woman never loses her

AS O as bachelor gets old enough
to have had any past a woman always
imagines that he has a life secret.
There is generally lots of fun in girls
who tell mamma everything.
II a man can remain a mystery long

to fall in love with him.
Men like to make girls think they
are awfully careless about their health

The average woman would a good
