GLOBE SIGHTS

A lazy man can't help it any more than
an Industrious man can.
Women wear sweater collars in sum-
mer, and low neck dresses in winter.
The reason doctors charge so much is
that only one patient in ten pays any
thing.
We are not very particular, but we
hate to see a woman with pencil stuck
in the bunch of hair at the back of her
head.
It takes a very IeveI-headed, sensible
person to visit a man and his wife as
long as a week without making some
feeling between them.
An oId-fashioned family lives in Atchi-
son: Whenever they expect company to
supper, they always make marble cake
and floating island.
AS a rule it indicates that a man doesn't
treat his wife well if she goes to prayer
meeting every Wednesday night, and
talks about her cross being heavy.
There is nothing that gives a country
boy more joy than to drive in front of
drug store with his girl, and oblige the
naughty city clerk to bring soda water to
them.

When one of the incest men in Atchison
was a young fellow, one of the most
worthless women in town refused to
marry him. In his despair, he married a
very good and Industrious woman.

The Upper House of the Canadian
Parliament Presumes to Act in
Public Matters.

New York, June 25-A dispatch from
Ottawa Ont to the Press says:
A political crisis that may result in
a radical change in the constitution of
Canada is imminent. The senate,
majority of whose members are Tory,
has declined to ratify certain contracts
made by the present Liberal ministry.
The ministry has put into the esti-
mates, items which will enable TO
carry on the contracts Should the SEN
ate defeat them an appeal to the people
against the senate will be inevitable.
The Liberal ministry has a large
working majority in the commons which
is the popular branch. The senators
are appointees of former ministries and
hold office for life.
Usually they have recognized their
position and busted themselves with

alive can put him in condition to make

nicely while he can fight for a knock

A we'll known physician once told a

too many calls from solicitous friends,
to make stroke with pencil on piece
of paper every time he was asked, How

The result for one day was just "a

gave strict orders that no visitor should
be permitted to enter the sickroom un-
til further notice, remarking to the
nurse that if his patient must be wor-
ried to death there was at least no rea-
son why it should be done in such an
unscientific manner.
Only those who have suffered serious
illness know how trying it is to be re-

American Women and Royalty.

During the Prince of Wales tour
through Canada L had attributed the
strange conduct of the ladies to an ex-
cess of loyalty. As soon as the prince
had left a hotel they would rush into
his rooms, seize all sorts of articles,
from furniture button to soiled
towel as souvenirs, and even bottle up
the water with which he had just wash
ed his face, ;" writes Stephen Fiske in
The Ladies' Home Journal. But in
the United States the women were
equally curious and sycophantic. The
luggage of the royal party was carried
in small leather trunks-a trunk for ev-
cry suit of clothes-and whenever the
train stopped the crowds would beg that
some of these trunks might be handed
out, and women would fondle and kiss
them. l need not say that the trainmen
were never too particular as to whose
luggage was subjected to this alteration,
and l have had the pleasure of seeing
my own portmanteau kissed by mistake.
Before the prince arrived at Richmond
his room at the Ballard House was en-
tered by the ladies, and the pillowslips
and white coverlet were SO soiled by
the pressure of hundreds of fingers that
they had to be twice changed by the
chambermaids When he attended
church on Sunday, the whole congrega-
ton rose as he departed and climbed
upon the seats to get better view of
him. :"

Homing Pigeons.

When pigeons were to be sent back
and forth, it has been usual TO keep two
sets, with their respective homes at
either end of the course, and when they
have reached their homes to carry them
back to the places from which they are
to be dispatched. An ingenious process
has been devised to overcome this diff
Guilty and cause the birds TO fly with
equal certainty in both directions. Pr
geons, for example, whose home is III
Paris are confined for several days at
St Denis and fed there at stated hour
every day with some favorite food which
is not given them at their real home.
They become in the course of time ia
miliar with their new home and its
choice dishes When set at liberty, they
start off at once for Paris without for
getting the good things they enjoyed at
st. Denis. When they are to be sent
back, they are made TO fast a little
while, and are then let loose at about
feeding time at st. Denis They go
thither, and, when they have their own
way, time their going so as to be there
at the exact moment of feeding. Birds
have thus been taught to fly back and
forth regularly between places 30 miles
apart. &c Remand in Popular Science

Enectual PRAYER.

There is an awful amount of so called
prayer that is only from the throat out
ward; it begins nowhere and ends in
nothing Such pointless repetitions of
stereOtyped phrases must be as weari-
some to God as they are Improbable to
the utterers. There must be pith, point
and purpose as well as faith in every
effectual prayer. At an evangelistic
meeting for "roughs'' over in New
York, when the leader called on some
one to pray, hard looking character in
the crowd arose and said 20 Lord, for
give me for being bad man. and please
excuse me, Lord, from saying any more

any more. He had told God just what he
wanted. Rev. DIR. Cuyler in Central
