LIVED TO TELL 1T.

The following anecdote is related of
a tar who once had narrow escape
from imminent peril: He was in a
ship frozen in, in the Arctic regions,
and had strayed on the ice, needless
of danger. He was far from the yes
sci, when he saw coming round a
block of ice huge Polar bear, MAX
ing directly towards him. Totally un-
provided with any defensive weapon
but his knife, he bethought himself of
an old-world weapon for extreme cases
prayer. But how, and what? There
was no time to deliberate: the monster
was near, and delay would be fatal
to the poor fellow. So he opened his
knife and grasped it firmly, hurried!y
uttering few words-hOw earnestly
can hardly be imagined, but their
ruggedness speaks forcibly OF a min
ged terror, desperate courage, and
dim twinkling faith: "Oh. Lord, l
dinna trouble ye aften, but We see me,
an We see this bear. Oh, Lord, au' We
Wilma help me, dinna help the bear.
An if yell help neither ane nor the
ither, stan by an see fair play, for
thisll be a maist awful fecht.
Amen" His prayer was answered.

LITTLE KINDNESSES.

If you were toling up II weary hill
Bearing u load beyond your strength to
bear,
Straining each nerve untiringly, and still
Stumbling and losing foothold here and
there,
And each one passing by would do so much
As give one upward lift and go their way,
Would not the slightest reteratc touch
OF help and kindness Tighten all the day?
If you We're breasting Il keen wind, which
tossed
And buffeted and chilled you as you strove,
Till, bai1ied and bewidered quite, you lost
The power to see the way, and aim and move,
And one, if only for moments space,
Gave you shelter from the bitter blast,
Would you not find it easier TO face
The storm again when the brief rest was past?
There is no little and there is no much;
We weigh and measure and define in vain.
A look, word. II light responsive touch
Can be the ministers of joy to pain.
a man can die of hunger, walled i'll gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronger
breath,
And every day we give or we withhold
Some little thing which tells for life or death.

an OTER1IPED HIGHVg1YT4N.

The hue and cry was Frequently
raised in England during the eight
zenith century, against hi~hwaymen
who infested the public roads and
made even the envirops of London
unsafe for well to do travellers. These
knights of the road were ceremoni-
Ously respectful to the persons they
robbed after their first greeting

sized by Il pistol, and occasionally
they became champions of the dis
tressed.
One highwayman, named Boulter,
who was hung in ITS, met a Young
woman weeping as he was riding on
horseback. Learning that her dis
tress was caused by the presence of Il
creditor and bailiff in a neighborfng
house to take her husband to prison
for debt of 80 guineas' the highways
man gave her money To- the deBSS.
Then, when the creditor came alone
the road, he took back the 80 guineas
and rode off, much pleased with his
inexpensive charity.
On another occasion this same high
waynan was ''blutfed" by an impe-
rious, rough nobleman, who was also
deaf. Lord o., the nobleman, while
travelling in his postchaise, was reused
from a nap by the stopping of the car
riage. Seeing a man OH horseback,

asked:
What do you want?n

man.
What money? Are you the rascal
who has just awoke me so suddenly?n
''Be quick, my lordj I've no time
to lose. Hand over your purse"
MY purse. You shall not have it.
You carry on Il fine trade. don't you?"
Lord o. then quitely pulled out a
full purse, and with his finger and
thumb deliberately tool out three
guineas, which he handed to the
highwayman, saying: There, that's
enough for scoundrel like you.

A boy on a farm, for fOmc INSIDE

Il stern man, with an eyd to save a

Franklin has travelled over the whole earth,

title to fame Is the lucrative position which he
held as impresario of some 'howling der
vishes' at the Chicago Exposition. II seems
that he was in Africa NJ the time the EXPOSE

the engaging manners Of the followers Of the

she broke down, and confessed not only To the
specific charge. but TO a number Of acts Of inf.

>HHA st vi
sees n SHIT.
There were ten moro insane men shipped
from the Bellevue Hospital insane pavilion to
Wards Island yesterday.
The hospital authorities are wondering what
is to be done with the new clothes that are be-
ing supplied to the insane by them. When q
patient arrives at Wards Island he Is imme-
diately stripped and is made to put on the State
Hospital dress. The law makes no provision
for the disposal OF the new clothes.
President Croft OF the Charities Department.,
when questioned regarding the disposition OF
the new clothing furnished the insane patients
transferred from Bellevue, said that IA far as
he knew none of the new clothing had been re-
turned from the asylum.
In speaking about the requirement for new
clothing, he said there was no law on the subject.
but that n rule OF the State Lunacy Commission
demanded 1t. The matter is to be taken to the
Court OF Appeals by the Lunacy Commission to
learn whether or not 1t Is empowered to order
patients to be supplied with new clothing.
President Croft said that. II his Board Is COM
PEELED by the courts to do as the Lunacy Com
mission demands, the department will itself
make the clothing Tor the patients at a
q sample suit OF clothes which he said
had been made by the department at
the cost Of SECS. lie added that such suits
would he furnished the insane patients II the
department IL ordered to clotne them anew be-
fore their transferral.
