Snow that Is Alive.

A most curious phenomenon in the
northwest Of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever q thaW occurs.
During the winter the snow is dry
and crisp, lilSesand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of, these insects.
but as soon as a thaw comes they are
found everywhere in large patches,
looking like a busting of soot
They are generally known as snow
fleas or Jumpers. and have Slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely
disappear when it freezes again, and
not trace Of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow, as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival, and
are probably something similar to the
"red snow" of arctic regions.

Britain's Tea Pot.

The inhabitant of the British Isles
consumes eleven times the quantity Of
tea that sutfices for the average Rus
sian, and four times the allowance of
each inhabitant of the United States.
If the total quantity of tea consumed
in Great Britain every twelve months
was to be placed on one scale and the
whole British army (on the peace foot
lng) of 215,OGO men was placed on the
other, it would not counter-b balance the
tea -cheSt-no! not even if each man on
the average weighed 1GS pounds If
five more armies of similar number
of men and weight were also thrown
into the scale they would have no ef-
feet on the equilibrium of the tea chest:
nor would the beam swing before 65.-
G4O additional men. weighing 16S
pounds each, joined the six armies al
ready standing more or less at ease
on the opposite scale; by that time
they would number 1.356.OOO men, and
the indicator would show that the bal.
ance was true.

Eight Square Miles, No Money and
No Poverty.
George Clunies- Ross, King of Cocos
and Christmas Islands, has recently
been on a visit to this country. 1t was
his grandfather, a naval captain in the
early years Of the century, who dis
covered the Keeling Cocos Islands and
took possession of them in company
with a small band of thirteen blacks
Here he lived and ruled his small
kingdom until 1854, when the
crown descended to his son, and Ia
ter to the King Of today, who is q cul-
tured Scotsman of about so.
Mr.. .Clunies- Ross has now 700 sub
jects in his delightful little kingdom.
in which there are no poor no public
houses no police or jails. and, happiest
condition of all, no money. Food can
be had for the picking up, the sea is
crowded with fish, and the birds are
so tame that they wait to be knocked
over. "Toddy" flows from the trees,
and a wife can be had in exchange for
a tortoise shell comb
There are only eight square miles Of
cultivated soil in the islands; but these
bear a million cOcoanut trees. Every
subject, when he marrieS, can claim
three acres Of ground, house, and a
garden: and altogether this island
monarch rules one of the most ideally
happy Kingdoms on earth.

O.-D LETTERS,

The mouse was silent, and the light
Was fading from the western glow.
i read, til! tcass had dimmed my sight.
Some letters written long ago.
The voices that have passed away.
The faces that have turned to mold.
Were round me in the room to-day
And laughed and chatted as of old.
The thoughts that youth was wont tc
think,
The Aones now dead forevermore,
Came from the lines of faded ink
AS sweet and earnest as of yore.
/ laid the letters by and dreamed
The dear dead past to life again:
The present and its purpose seemed
A fading vision full If pain.
Then, with sudden shout of slce,
The children burst into the room;
Their little faces were to me
AS sunrise in the cloud of gloom.
The world was full of meaning still.
For love will live though loved ones die
/ turned upon lifc's darkenel hill
And gloried in the morning sky.

FORCES A HEN TO "SET,"
Biddy Was Obstinate, but She Was No
Match for the Boy.

Match for the Boy.
Down in Missouri, SO says the Kan
sas City Star, lives a boy who likes
pets. He began with a pair of pigeons
that he got in 4 trade for a dog that he
had traded Il knife for His parents al
lowed him to keep the pigeons until
they multiplied, so that there were pig
cons all over the place. Then he sold
the pigeons, and bought a goat that ate
the clothes off the line every Monday.
lie was compelled to dispose of 1t, and
traded it for pair of game chickens.
In a week there wasn't rooster left
in the neighborhood; the game rooster
had killed them all. His father took
the game chickens for ride one night,
and lost them three miles out in the
country. Three days afterward the boy
brought them home, but he never told
anyone how he got them. And so he
fought for his pets one by one, his dog
was lost, his lamb stolen, his rabbits
ran away. He has come down to one
old hen.
Recently he bought a ''settin'" Of
eggs. y ''settin' of eggs is as many
as Il motherly hen can hatch into
chicks. He had made up his mind that
his hen was lonely, and needed com.
pany, and what so companionable as
Il batch of little chicks to scratch for ::
The hen, however, had different views,
and didn't want to sit on the eggs. But
he was not boy to be stumped by a
hen-he had borne too many losses al
ready.
He put the eggs in box, in which
he had made a nest of hay. Then he
planted the indignant hen on them,
put board in which he had bored a
lot of air holes over her, AMI left her to
come to terms. That night his big
brother kicked the board off the box,
and set the hen free. Next morning the
boy put her back, and put some bricks
on the board, for he thought she had
raised the board and released herself
The brother kicked both bricks and
board off that night. The boy replaced
hen and board again, and again they
were kicked off. Then he got board
and made a hole in it for the hen to
poke her head through, and nailed the
board to the box. Once day he takes
the board off and chases the hen
around the yard for exercise, and twice
a day he carries food and water to her
What's the use of trying to discour,
age boy like that?

throw our eyes around this great
world about us OF human labor
where men learn and bear and

Hear the Will,

l went some time since to hear the
most illustrious judge in England. I
sat with reverence Of no common kind
before that Judge His voice was fee
bic and indistinct; at times I had great
difficulty, as had others, in hearing
him; but oh. the strain, the anxiety
not to miss one word. 1t was dry, it
was argumentative, there was not n
single flower of speech in the whole,
and yet no man coughed there, every
man was silent. Why this anxiety i?
Because the people wanted to hear
man cared for 1t; no man went to hear
cloquence or poetry; every one was
there to hear what the judge would
say, not how he would say it. You
must not compare the judge and the
Christian minister. Poor minister, he
must please. persuade. pander to many

True Loyalty.

Loyalty is the service of freemen.
1t is not the blind allegiance Of the
paid attache; it is the hearty service
of one whose eyes are ever open to
the best interests of that to which he
is devoted. Loyalty never requires one
to do wrong; it requires one to do
right, for it is only by doing right that
one can serve the real interests of the
object of his allegiance. A loyal citi-
zen will die for his country, but he
will not lie for it. 4 loyal church
member clings to his church through
evil as well as good report, but he
does not feel under obligations to en-
dorsc his church in a matter which he
believes to be wrong. To be loyal is
to be true; to be true, one must be free
to know the truth. Sunday School
