May not this be a clue?"
1T may, indeed" said the mission
airy; and making their excuses. the two
men hurried away.
The evenings entertainment was not
over when Mr. Bromley returned and
described what he had seen to the in
terested group that gather-- around
him.
1T was one of the most remarkable
instances of Gods guiding iissd have
over known" said he. "The brother
and sister recognized each other imme-
diately. 1t seems that the poor wo-
man has been through all phases Gr
poverty, from a decent home to desti-
tuition in a garnet. For time she for
got God, and ceased to say her grand
mothers grace. 1t seemed mockery,
she said, when we had so little to eat.
But the words, 'whate'er we do, what
e'er endure brought it back to her
heart and she resolved, If God can
bless what l endure, l will keep on
saying the prayer
This purpose she followed, and in 1t
found reason for increased faith in the
divine faithfuiuess and love-"
The clue that leads one back to lost
friends and fortune is not always an
act of piety or an unconscious vlr-
tue" but We are sure that a soul, how
ever desolate, that never forgets its
duty to it's conscience and its God lives
nearest to the Guiding Hand.

A Tiger at Close Quarters.

COL H. Ward tells in the Badmintsn
Magazine about tiger that he shot IN
India:
1--WE were after tiger on an old
TRAIL" he says, when the men began
to consult as to what would best be
done. While they talked l wandered
away alone up small stream, on eth
er side of which the grass had been
burned, leaving fine gray ash spread
over the ground. In this | found the
perfectly fresh footprints of a large
tiger, which we had evidently dis
turbed. Following cautiously, i pres
emily saw the tiger about fifty yards
in front of me, walking slowly along
among the bamboos; he neither saw
nor heard me, and seemed to suspect
nothing. l followed him till he dipped
into a ravine, then ran back and sent
the men round to drive him towards
me. There was no large tree available,
so lay down on a fiat rock, with a
sloping bank to my left, and on the
right clear space about eight yards
wide to the side of the hill, which rose
in a perfectly straight scarp. ! hoped
the tiger would come to my left, be-
low me, but he didn't. Instead, he
came headed so that had | left him
alone he would have passed within six
feet of me. When he was about eight
yards off fired, and as the
smoke cleared l saw the brute's jaws
close to the muzzle of the rifle. l
pulled the trigger of the other barrel,
dropped the rifle, rolled over the bank,
and leaped into small tree during
the next few seconds. But the tiger
was dead. shot through the heart. His
whiskers were burned by the second
charge"

Parrot Arithmetic

One day the celebrated ornithologist,
Audubon, came out of his cottage with
four of his friends to go for a walk.
The next instant they saw parrot fly
in at the window. Audubon and one
of his friends returned indoors, and i'm
mediately the bird flew out in fright
and went circulating about overhead.
Audubon came out again, but the bird
refused to re-enter until the other gen.
tleman had also left the house. 1t
seemed to remember that two persons
had gone in and only one had come out.
Curious to discover how far the parrot
could count, he returned indoors with
four friends and made them go out,
one at a time, while he himself re-
manned inside. In a few minutes the
bird flew in again. 1t was evident that
it's powers Of arithmetic ended at the
number four.

brakes should bob up in Canadian
village is one Of the unexpected things,

Advance, who is quite collector OF
curiosities, reports that Mr.. Luke Brad
bury of Flesherton has such a snuff
box and could not be induced to sell 1t,
as it has been in the family for long
time. The box is oblong- inch In
thickness and three inches long-and
was carved out of horn. On the cover
is brakes name and coat-of-arms,
finely carved in bas-relief. Mr.. Brad

dred year old snuff-box, but also his

Many stories are told of the sagacity
of the rock aid of his tenacious mem
ory. Mr.. Sowerby, an English gentle
man, in his book, "Rooks and their
Neighbours" gives a striking instance
Of this. A week or two after whole
sale slaughter in rookery, when most
of the birds had forsaken their old
habitat, he and a friend observed on
bare tree two rocks, one OF which
was making most peculiar noise.
Wondering what 1t all meant, they
were presently Overtaken by the two
birds swooping down within few feet
of them and uttering loud cries of an
ger. The next day, being out alone, the
two birds took no notice of him, but
on being Joined by his friend they at
tackled and pursued them with loud
cries as before. Unable to understand
this, the Squire alone paid them sec
ond visit, wearing, by accident, his
friends great coat, when, to his amaze
lowing him with loud cries wherever
he went. That great coat was the
cause of all the disturbance. His friend
had worn 1t day or two before, and
gone out with rifle and shot young
rock on a neighboring tree. Hence
the frantic grief and fury of one OF the
distracted parents, which followed the
murderer to the very last, pursuing
the gig in which he rode away even
up to- the railway station"

AS Rev. Henry Bromley, city mis-
sionary in Brooklyn, N. Y. was one
day passing through dark hall in a
tumble -down tenement-house, he saw
through a broken door a woman and
three children sitting at bare table,
IN which there was only loaf Of
bread.
AS he paused an instant, arrested by
the evident indications of refinement in
the quiet little group, they all bowed
their heads and repeated in concert:
God bless our going out nor less
Our coming in, and make them sure.
God bless our daily bread, and bless
Whate'er we do, whate'er endure;
In death unto His peace awake u.s..
And heirs of His salvation make us"
The visitors eyes were dimmed with
tears as he made his way down the. un-
certain stairs. A few hours later, at a
supper in the conference-room Of the
church with which he was connected,
he was called upon to TASK blessing. u
With the scene in the chamber OF
poyerty fresh in his mind, he repeated
Prince Albert's translation Of a Ger
man hymn, as the poor woman and
her children had done over their half
dime loaf; and afterward he related the
incident of the afternoon.
All the persons at the table listened
with attention and interest, but q
stranger in the city, who had come In

seemed the merest chance, was so i'm

The Middy's Mite.

When Sir John Franklin was in his
twelfth year he saw the sea for the first
time, and there and then made up his
mind to be a sailor. Although his
parents begged of him to choose anoth-
err calling, he would not give way, and
in the long run entered the navy. But
he never lost touch with home, or
ceased to think Of the dear ones there.
When, in 1908, the failure of his broth
ers bank caused his family some dis
tress, John not only accepted without a
murmur the stoppage of his allowance
from home, but also saved the sum OF
f5 out of the paltry pittance Of his
middy's pay, and sent 1t to help the
old folk. It was trifle, no doubt,
but the spirit in which the thing was
done counted for more than the money

One of the many superstitions still

Russia is that on the occasion of a
marriage the happiness of the newly
welded couple is not assured unless the
parents of the contracting parties are
soaked with water from head to foot.
When the marriage takes place In the
summer this is easily accomplished by
ducking the fathers and mothers-in-
law in the nearest river, but in the win
ter they are laid on the ground and
rolled in the frozen snow.
The observance of this curious GUS
tom has just resulted fatally in the
village of Sysertsky, in the Upha pro-

were all drunk, as is usual in Russia on.

King by Trade.

While in Geneva, Switzerland, in
1891, Judge T. j. Mackey of South.
Carolina was selected by the American
colony to- deliver Fourth of July ora
ton at banquet given in honor of the
day. 1t was attended by all the foreign
consuls, and among them was the con-
sul-general of Austria-Hungary who
furnished for Judge Mackey's address,
the following anecdote and vouehedl for
its authenticity:
A number of Americans residing in.
Vienna in the year 1910 united to, cele-
brate Washingtons birthday, and in
vited the. Emperor Francis of AUSTRIA
to- honor the occasion by his presence
That genial monarch, a true gentle
man, although every inch king"
overlooked the disregard of established
forms into which his would-be hosts
had been betrayed by their patriotic
zeal, and made this answer in his own
handwriting:
"Gentlemen,-l thank you for your
hospitable invitation and the crafty
ing terms in which you have expressed
your desire that ! should attend
banquet which you propose to give in
celebration of Gen. Washington's natal
day.
But you must excuse me from unit
ing with you to honor the memory of
your illustrious countryman, since I
could not do so with sincerity, for
Washington scorned a crown, and did
more to bring royalty into contempt
than all men who have ever lived; and
l am king by trade"
