IL was n very cunning little child,

these attentions the little one crowed

Every now and then, however. the
child turned toward the lady next To II

Man Made monuments and Others.

"He was not aware that it had ever
been suggested that it was the work OF
man, and it could not therefore be an.
ancient monument. =
This somewhat mystic remark was
made by the Irish attorney general in
reply to question about the des' abli-
ity of preserving the Giants CauseTay.
In itself one may be inclined to dis
pute the attorney generals proposition
that nothing can be ancient or nonu-,
mental which is not the work OF man
man, whose appearance Oh the planet is
so comparatively modem; man, whose
noblest works are comparatively SO
trivial beside the more enduring monu-I
nents of creative energies greater than
his own. -
And, though the attorney general was
Of course speaking in legal sense, the
point we have indicated suggests real;
defect in the law. Would it not be pos.
sible to extend the protection given to
ancient monuments to natural beauties
and natural maryels?
In some other countries attempts
have been made in that direction, and
this is form Of land naturalization

King NIenclek's Indcpcnlcnce.

The pope's influence has failed to Sc
cure tho release of the Italian prisoners
in Abyssinia. 1t is said that his shrewd
councillors disapproved an attempt so
little likely to succeed at q time when
his holiness cannot afford to risk the
papal prestige, but generous pity over
came their reasoned objections. AS if
to emphasize the refusal, Menelek has
set free Ga officers and men of his own
accord. They report that the Abyssinian
monarch is not such barbarian rs IS
commonly supposed. He reads the lead
ing Italian journals through an inter-
prefer. 1t is well for the prisoners that
he cannot understand them himself.
Menelek desires to make himself equal
to the European sovereigns, and this
fact represents progress, for all his pre-
dccessors firmly believed themselves to
be already equal or superior. The ltal-
ian officers are frequently questioned
about the manners and customs OF roy
atty in Europe. His queen actually
wears dresses from Paris and stockings,
shoes, etc.
Many French families arc settled at
and near Entotto, where the ncsus has
palace, and they supply these articles
Ono would like to know what the pris-
oncrs mean exactly by "many.' 1tmay
be credited, however, that Abyssinia is
about to undergo a change, with Rus
slams and Frenchmcn TO direct it, aud
in that case the sooner Egypt gets COM
mand of tho upper waters of the Nile
the better for her safety. To occupy the
Sudan would be tho first move of an
energetic ncgus who felt himself strong
enough to organize Il grand attack upon
the hereditary foe. And if he got pos
session of the Sudan self interest would
tempt him to divert the Nile, putting
i'll will toward Egypt aside.-London

AN Erectual Remedy.

His firmly set lips and the square ont;
of his side whiskers showed at a glance
that he was accustomed to surmount:
obstacles instead of yielding to them.
"We were day late in getting that
piece of work out" he remarked to the
superintendent Of his business.
"Yes Itwas one Of those unfortnnatsl
things that couldn't very well be avoid
ed.'
"What was the matter?''
"You will remember that the order
reached us on Friday morning. twas
pretty big job Of work, and the fore.l
man hated like everything to begin III
on Friday. The men all looked kind OF.
glum when we talked about taking ID
up on that day, and, to tell you the
truth, I didn't like to begin it on Fri-
day myself. -
"What's wrong with Friday?"
Nothing. Only you know the old
superstition about it's being an unluckEl
day. OF course, every body feels q little
ashamed Of it, but, just the same, ey-'
erybcdy. recognizes it and is more OF
less afraid Of 1t. =;

"No, it won't. 1t will be tire easiest
thing imaginable. You notify the book;
keeper and the cashier that hereafter,
instead of paying of on Saturday, all
employees will get their money on Fri-'

stead of regarding Friday as unlucky
