1t Was Expsn.,v- and Slow In Early
Days
Lord Bacon advised the traveller to
carry with him some card or book
describing the country where he trav-
eled," which would be a good key to his
inquiry, says the Cornhill Magazine.
But the guidebook Of the period was
rather treacherous friend and was to be
relied upon rather for sound moral dis
QUESTIONS than the practical purposes.
A good example is furnished by How

printed at the princes Armes in
Paule's Churchyard," in the year 1912.
The author has no love for folk who
never leave the parish in which they
were born: Such slow and sluggish
people may be said to be like Snailes
or Tortoises in their shells. crawling
always about their own home or like
the Cynique shut up always in a tub"
The first country we islanders should
become acquainted with is France.
"and the younger one goes to France
the better, because Of the hardnesse OF
accent and the pronunciation, which
will hardly be overcome by one who
has passed his minority, and in this
point the French Tongue may be said
to be like Fortune, which. being a wo-
man, loves youth best" 1t might seem
strange to a modern tourist to gather
information from a chat with some

conversation with these nuns must
have been carried on under certain dis

a grating. The author allows period

High life in London Is no more apt

There is probably no sounder or more
modest man OF learning in an American
university than Professor Charles R.
Lanman, of Harvard. who has just been
signally honored in being made an
honorary member OF the Asiatic So
ciety of Bengal. Professor Lanman
used to be known as w. d. Whitney's

foremost Sanskrit scholars. He is q

Nothing Is more fash ionable this sea-

incredible, but 1t is quite true. One
sees at some swell shops rosewood

bouquets Of gay flowers are stiffly set.

than would be imagined. The same

THIS MAN HAS BEEN WRONGED
BY THE RAILROADS.

When the road was built 1t suited the
convenience Of the company. according
to a local correspondent, to lay tho
track within ten feet Of the corner OF
Farmer Stoddard's house. The con.
struction gang plowed through his
barnyard, removed his hen house and
cut q wide swath through . Ane young
orchard which was the pride of Farmer
Stoddards heart. The agriculturist
fixed his damages at q high figure: %

Stoddard's place. observed the sign In
bold, black letters. with q background
"a white as snow. Stoddard had paint
ed the sign himself, and. while It was
not executed in the highest style Of the
art, It could be distinctly read.
Farmer Stoddard has raised large
family of boys and he has taught them
to hate corporations. Not less than half
a dozen dogs of doubtful breed can al
ways be found on the Stoddard place.
The dogs. too, are taught to hate the
railroad, and when a train passes tho
entire pack runs out and barks Mt It.

story 1t looked dark to Joseph, this way
of righteousness, or rightness: land It
came to pass when his master heard the
words of his wife (Which were false) that
his wrath was kindled and he put him
into the prison. Here Is an innocent man
charged with the very crime he had net
committed. though urged by the wicked
woman now falsely accusing and hating
him. What strange, bewidering things We
see. With one Of Diekens's characters,
Stephen Biackpool, VIC are sometimes
compelled to say of LIES strange medley:
Its all muddle. all a muddle.
But thIrk of the significant words that
mean so much to many; they shine from
the darkness of poor Joserh's dungeon.
But the Lord was with joseph" All, if
God be with us, who can successfully be
against as? This is the truth that has in
spired the martyrs of all ages.
1.-THE Lord was with Joseph" so even in
prison he found favor with the warden.
he became "a trusty," and now al last
the dreamer's great opportunity had come
The monarch had a remarkable dream.
Once Joseph had been despised and hated
for his Interpretation of pertain dreams;
now because of this very power he Is
sought for by royalty. The chief butler
had been in prison-kings servants and
courtiers often have been-and while there
Joseph had interpreted dreams for him;
SO in this great emergency, when no as
trologer can relieve the kings anxiety
the butler remembers poor Joseph The
kings dream IS duly Interpreted, and Jo-
sephs fortune is made in day. Aston
isbed at Joseph's wisdom. the king pro-
notes him to the chanceliorship.
Can this great man be he who few
years since was bought as slave?-this
great man, whom we finally see saving
famine-stricken Egypt? For the kings
dream had foretold that seven years Of
want should follow seven years of plenty.
and during these productive years Joseph
laid by vast stores of grain, which later
proved the only resource of the Egyptians
and of Josephs own people as we'll
Thus at last appears the merciful over
ruling of Him who "maketh the wrath of
man to praise him" When his brethren
sold the dreamer to the Ishmaelites, say
ing. scornfully 1--WE shall see what will
come of his Dreams, they thought they
had triumphed. But 1.-The triumphing OF
the wicked is short"-they found that some
thing had come of his dreams. Multitudes
OF lives saved, and even they themselves
not only permitted to live, but to share in
the triumphs and honors of him whom they
tried to kill. For from the high place OF
authority the dreamer kindly seeks to less
en- the sting of their remorseful self-re-
proachings in view of their long-past crime
by showing how good comes out of evil
when God is on the scene. Now, there
fore" he SAYS in our text 'be not grieved
nor angry with yourselves that We sold me
hither for God did send me before you to
preserve life.
We may not have the romance of Joseph
but we may have the same said of us II we
are loyal to God and truth 1.-THE Lord was
with him." and we have the assurance that
Through Him we shall do valiantly.

LIFE SAVED BY SALTY WATER.

jured Man.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.


No case in the history of Hahnemann
Hospital has ever interested the doctors
and nurses SO much as the remarkable one
of Charles Chatterton, who was struck in
the side by the shaft of cab at Broad
was taken to the hospital in grave con0i-
that. fearing he had been internally in
jured. DIR. Northrop made an incision and
found the spleen badly torn in two places
While this being done the patient
was sinking rapidly. and, as a last resort
although the case was regarded lhncst
hopeless three and one-half quarts of
warm salty water were injected into the
veins through the arm and leg to take the
place of the exceedingly large quantity of
blood that was lost. This infusion has been
used before in such cases where the loss of
blood has been great. for were it rot
done. the heart. having nothing to n,IrnD
would soon cease beating.
The injured spleen was carefully and an
tisipticalIy packed in gauze to stop its
bleeding and Chatterton placed In
bed with but little hope of his recovery
But he lived through the night and al
though slightly stronger the next day was
still so low that there was scarcely any
hope that he would survive the injury and
shock.
AS Chatterton still continued to improve
In the face of such odds. the doctors be-
gan to take more interest in his case. He
was given blood-nla king foods and two sub
seuuent infusons of salt water. The treat
ment seemed to agree with him particular
ly well. for 1t IL said he Is now fairly on
tho road to recovery.

Soft clouds float by
With dream-like grace that gladdens me.
The ne'er shone
With a mellower tone,
And the world is bright world can be-

When leaves float down
All withered and brown
And lie In the path beneath my feet.
My heart lies there
With a weight of care
And the bitter of life has killed the sweet.
Second
When the leaves-red. gold
Not wfthered or old,
But young with youth Gods loved ones share.
Float down to
Through the ether sea,
There's naught in my life like pain or care
First
The autumn is chill;
The nights are still,
And the white moonbeams show tears on the
grass
June, June, June!
With thy lovers moon,
Come back, that the hours may swiftly pass.
Second
o, the autumn night
With thy still moonlight,
And diamonds shining every side,
When crickets sing
o, joys of spring.
You fade in the glow of the sweet dream tide
