We have all seen the man with 80
diplomatic countenance that an earth
quake would hardly produce any change
in his imperturbable face We are apt
to infer that these sphinxlike persons
never feel emotion, whereas they do not
betray their feelings like the generality
of people.
Columns have been written about the
impassiveness Of Disraeli's expression.
A German philosopher once went to
Berlin for the sole purpose Of studying
his character and discovered what every
one had searched for in vain. Like all
men, wrote the keen observer, she has
one sign of emotion which never fails
to show itself, the movement Of the leg
that is crossed and the foot.
But if there was ever a man of "iron
self control" that man was Lockhart,
the famous biographer. He formed the
idea in youth that it was unmanly to
make any violent display of joy or grief,
and he succeeded so we'll in repressing
his feelings that when he grew up he
could not show them. When his brother
and sister died within a few days of
each other, Lockhart did not cry or 9TH
erwise relieve his deep and terrible feel
ings, and the consequence was that he
became so ill that his life was in jeopar-

HEART HUNGER.

dream have you here with me tonight,
And, reaching ont fold you TO my breast,
Where l would kiss the tear dimmed eyes to
rest,
And fondly stroke your hair-were it my
right
Hold fast your willing hands in the dim light
OF fading sunset, while your looks expressed
In voiceful silence all my heart had guessed
And hoped and lived for in its wild delight.
I wake to see the cold sky overhead,
And one pale star blink warmly through the
maze
OF leafiess branches, as if it would shed
A tear with for the departed days
Pluck the dead blossom trembling at my side
Heart hungry still and soul unsatistied.

A Rigid Examination.

Colonel Alexander Gardner, in his
volume entitled Soldier and Traveller"
says that during stay in Asia he was
once suspected Of being Russian spy.
This was an accusation of great con-
sequence, as Russians were very unpop-
ular at the time, but the traveller was
PROSTATE with fever and almost indif-
ferent as to what might befall him.
Application was made to the khan of
Khiva, and in great state of anxiety
as to the travellers identity he deputed
three learned men who had travelled
over half the world to examine him.
This was the abstruse and terrific ex-
animation with which they were satis-
fed:
"What are you?' asked they.
can American, - was the answer.
Still they were suspicious and one
man, a very enlightened scholar, offered
as crowning test this deep and con-
elusive geographical question:
"Could you go by land from America
to England?"
"No, was the prompt reply, and the
questioner, as much delighted at his
own superior learning as at the trav-
eler's integrity, declared that he was
convinced. This was an American in
deed.

is said, Sir Joshua Reynolds took no

breakfast
She took off the paper wrapper and
discovered white box-it did look hor-
ribly like glove box, Leslie thought
as she lifted the cover-and, yes, inside
lay several pairs of dainty kid gloves of
different shades.
Hoping nobody noticed her confusion,
and not daring to look across the table,
she was replacing the cover of the box,
when Captain Murray said very coolly:

gation.'
Hastily seizing her parcel, Leslie rose,
and, murmuring something to Sir Henry
about not feeling very well, she few up
stairs and locked herself into her room,
where she had good cry.
After little time she took look at
the gloves.

then she had another good cry.
Sir Henry Seymour had no reason to
complain of his wards conduct for the
next few days; but she avoided Captain
Murray, who tried in vain to get a

One morning, however, fortune fa-
vored him. He was in the garden, and
Leslie was walking toward him. She

The amount of coal consumed by a
vessel during a voyage depends very
largely upon the speed, for the con-
sumption of coal increases almost in a
geometrical ratio to the speed. There
are many ships which burn from 100 to
800 tons of coal per day, the lowest con-
sumption being when the vessel is going
at moderate rate. Our men-of-war do
not consume so much in proportion as
swift passenger steamers which ply be-
tween Europe and America, for unless
in an emergency they are not driven at
the highest attainable speed. The ocean
passenger steamers often burn from
2, 800 to $500 tons during a passage
lasting six to seven days.

No Birthplace.

A remark made by a 6-year-old boy
on a certain occasion was the natural
result of confusion in his small mind,
but it caused amusement to the by
standers.
The house in which he had first seen
the light of day had been torn down to
make room for a wider street, and the
little boy, holding fast to his fathers
hand, viewed the ruins with grief and
amazement.
