Would We learn the spell? mother sat
there,
And sacred thing is that old armchair.
In childhood's hour linger'd near
The hallowd seat with listening car;
And gentle words that mother would give,
To fit me to die and teach me to i've
She told me shame would never beflde,
With truth for my creed and God for
my gu,6e;
She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer,
/ sat and watch'd her many day,
When her eyes grew dim. and her locks
were gray;
And l almost worshippd her when she
smiled
And turn'd from her Bible to bless her
child.
Years rolPd on, but the last one sped
My idol was shatterd, my earth-star fled;
| learnt how much the heart can BEAR
When / saw her die in that old arm chair.
'Tis past! t is past! but I gaze on it now
With quivering breath and throbbing
brow:
II was there she nursed me. It was there
she died
Say 1t is folly and deem me weak,
While the scalding drops start down my
cheek:
But l love it. love it, and cannot tear
My soul from a mothers old armchair.

A Curious Chinese Monastery.

High up among the mountains in
China stands one of the most curious
religious edifces in the world. It is
the monastery of ''Yung feu,' whers a
body of Chinese priests live at
height above their fellow-creatures,
which is supposed to correspond with
their superior eminence in sanctity. The

How lie Was Identified.

On one occasion the prince Of Wales
wanted to give Frederick Febvre, the
noted French actor, some testimonial oil
appreciation and consulted his coraDan-
ion in the box. Il can't buy him some
thing; that would be banaI. Do you
think he would like to have my cane?"
1t was decided that the cane would do
So, stepping to the green room, the
prince paid the actor few compliments
on the English part he was playing and
begged him to accept the cane, saying
it had seldom left him for ten years.
He added that he hoped to see the cane
with Febvre on the stage. The incl
dent was reported and Febvre spent
the following day dismissing a Queue
of Englishmen who invaded his lodg-
ings trying to buy the cane. After
ward when giving private entertain
ments in London, he repeatedly heard
himself identified by the remark made
in the audience: Hes the one that got
the cane "-Argonaut.

Tho success of the reindeer pack
trains ordered by Secretary Bliss for
the Yukon this winter is matter of
much interest Many persons, in COM
mon with the secretary Of the interior,
believe that here, for the present at
least, is the solution Of the problem of
conveying food and othor supplies to
the miners in the KlondilIe i'll winter.
Reindeer can make three times the dis
tance dog team can in day and can
draw much heavier load. Besides that,
it is never necessary to carry food alonp
in the sleds for the deer. They have on
ly to be turned out at the end of days
journey to browse upon the abundant
Iceland moss which covers the whole
surface of this region. Reindeer sta
.tions will be established along the Yu-
kon by the United States government,
and the teams will carry supplies first
for the use of the troops ordered into
that country and afterward for outsiders
Secretary Bliss order includes all the
reindeer trained to harness in Alaska
They are to he transported to st. Mi.
chael's. Thence they will be taken up
and down the Yukon, between Dawson
City and the mouth, hauling sleds.

Ruined Greece.

Mr.. Henry Norman, the London
Chronicles famous correspondent, fur
nishes to Scribner' Magazine striking
paper ON "The Wreck of Greece" So
far as is apparent Greece is at the bot
tom round of the ladder of nations,
crushed, humiliated, ruined, with the
foot Of Europe upon her neck. Mean
while the Turk is in high feather, inso-
lent, confident and fuller of wickedness
for the future than he has been in q GEN.
tury.
What the future will be Mr.. Norman
does not undertake to say. He asks
whether the present wreck will be the
end of the dream of united Hellenic
kingdom, and he does not answer.
Are the Greeks really, after all that
has been done for them, after all their
talk of a nation repeating the glories of
the ancient one-are they only race
of degenerate mongrels, incapable of
self government, incapable Of steady
purpose and high aims as patriots, In
capable of learning a lesson from defeat
and humiliation or even of being deeply
impressed by disaster? Who knows?
Norman says friend writes him from
Athens that even the national disgrace
does not seem to be taken seriously to
heart.
The hopes of really thoughtful Greeks
are very low, as low as the finances of
the kingdom. 1.-THE national vice Of
windy enthusiasm for great ends, COM
bined with unwillingness to perform
the solid labors by which alone these
can be secured, has at last brought de-
spair into the hearts of the best Greeks
at home and abroad" "A windy en-
thusiasm for great ends" combined
with unwillingness to perform the work
necessary to reach such aims, is what is
the trouble with millions of private in
dividuals as well as some nations.
Mr. Norman believes that Constan-
tine, the crown prince of Greece, would
prove himself thoroughly capable
man if he had the chance. But he did
not have it during the war; he does not
have it now. The condition of the
Greeks would not be hopeless if they
themselves were not just what they are,
people whose capacity for government
appears to be limited to oratory and in.
trigue.

If it had been the autocratic and er-
ratio emperor of Germany who approved
the intention of his prime minister to
fight duel, it would not have surprised
one, but to find the mild tempered,
graybeard emperor of Austria en-
couraging the first officer of his cabinet
to challenge member Of parliament is
astonishing. The duel arose out of the
struggle for supremacy between the
German and anti German parties Of
Austria Each is trying to down the
other. The occasion for Badeni's chal-
lenge was the insulting language used
by DIR. Wolff, leader of the German
party, to the count at the opening ses-
sion Of the Austrian reichsrath. Accord
ing to the London Daily Mail, Wolff
shook his fist under the counts nose
and called him a "Polish pig" the
most insulting term he could have used
1t was not in human nature to endure
that, but it would have been much
more dignified if the premier had had
Wolff simply arrested and made him
apologize publicly in open meeting OF
the reichsrath. This punishment would
have cut Wolff down more effectively
than fighting him. AS it is, it will not
be surprising now if there should be a
general revival Of dueling on the con-
tinent of Europe, and the emperor Of
Austria will be responsible for it.

Protection Against Colds.

While every one admits the neces-
sity that exists for guarding against
exposure, especially when there are
sudden changes from heat to cold,
there are very few persons who take
these imperative precautions in the
proper way. They are chilly when the
weather changes and Immediately seek
out an overcoat, jacket, a scarf or a
muller. The shoulder cape comes into
use and the feather boa or wrap that
is pulled up close about the neck and
covers the chest. This is precisely the
region that neds the least protection in
these changes. If, instead of this,
thicker shoes and warmer hose were
put on and warmer covering for the
limbs were afforded, the trunk of the
body could take much better care of
itself. Cold and exposed extremities
and too much wrapping around the
body creates congestion and paves the
way for disease. The hygienic and
sensible method is to give the throat,
chest and arms a dash of cold salt
and water every morning upon rising.
An entire sponge bath of this sort is
of great advantage. but this treatment
of the throat and chest is almost abb
solutely necessary If one would avoid
a multitude of ills that affect this por-
ton of the system.
