VARIOUS EFFECTS OF SHOCK FROM
FRIGHT.

New York Tribune: Sudden frights,
shocks or the presence Of physical dan
Hotel Netherland, have curiously diver
gent effects on different natures. The
presence of danger will render some men
as cool as ice, others-and equally brave
perspiration. l remember once hearing of
a chap who. coming uninjured out Of a
railroad wreck, worked like a demon to as
sist his less fortunate fellow-passengers.
All the time hi was at work, however, he
held one hand to his collar, and when it
was over one of his companions discovered
that he was holding tight to his necktie,
which he had been in the act of tying when
the collision occurred.
AT the time of the Chicago fire the wife
of one of the great millionaires of that day
possibly in the world. She had a box made
for them of just sucient depth for the
handle to prevent its going under the ward
and herself seeing and not forgetting it in
case of fire. She saved her Jewels, but her
laces went up in the flames, as neither
fright the laces they had taken such pre-
cautions to insure the safety of.
I know a young girl who had learned
to swim quite well, and one day she es-
sayed the feat of swimming across a bath
ing pool on q wager. There were plenty Of
people about, and the distance was not
great, but when she was half way across
let her foot down to find no. friendly rest
ing place beneath. Instantly she lost her
nerve and sank. She came up once, tried
down she went again. A mar who was
lounging in the gallery surrounding the
pool, realizing that something was wrong,
jumped in, clothes and all, and dragged
her out. He was none too soon, for she
was unconscious when he pulled her up.
1t was the sheer fright at knowing she was
out of her depth that caused it all, as
otherwise there wasn't the slightest dan-

The Darkest England" scheme has
proved the genuineness of the principles
on which we affirmed at the outset that
work for the outcast poor should be car
ried on. I am not sure that this is not,
after all the most aluable result of the
experiment. What are these principles?
Character must be changed in order to
assure a change of conduct. It is folly
to expect that n alteration in the en-
vironment of the individual will affect
any abiding Improvement in his moral
condition. It is the man you want to
alter.
Every man must work out his own
salvation, or it will not be worked out at
all. The drunkard, the loafer, the un-
fortunate must be a co-worker in effect
ing the deliverance desired.
Industry Is necessary to reformation.
Where there has been the ability we have
acted on the apostolic injunction, eff a
man will not work neither shall he eat"
Nothing for nothing is the rule vigor-
ously carried out through every branch
of our operations.
Then ALSO, without discipline little can
be done with these classes. To take hold
of men and women who have from their
childhood been Ishmaelites, whose very
ruin has come because they would not be
subject to any decent rules of living or
working, and make them not only willing
but cheerfully obedient to orders and
regulations, has been n of our most
difficult tasks.
Hope must be restored. IT wish I was
dead" comes with dismal frequency to
the hearts and lips in those moments of
reflection that intrude themselves, un-

CAT AND FLOWERS.

International Review: ut must be said
to Tootsie's credit that he ever imblbed
fume of an English violet. The odor seems
to e~lectrify him, and he cries for them;
nor can they be placed beyond his reach.
1t is interesting to watch him when they
are about. With his big eyes all aglow,
and his splendid tail waving like a plume,
he will bound upon the piano or mantel
and secure the coveted blossoms; then he
lies down on the floor and rolls and purrs
with delight. He gathers the fragrant
flowers gently in his velvety paws, cod
ding them under his chin, and then losses
them into<sthe air and rolls upon them;
finally aweary, he goes to sleep with his
pink nose luxuriously buried in the blooms.
This same Angora has a decided pen
chant for carnations. 1t is related of him
that one evening, as the family sat reading
in Rest Cottage Tootsie suddenly awoke
from a blissful dream and beheld a bou-
quete of crimson carnations on the table
and selected a stem having three blossoms.
After he had played with 1t a few mo-
ments, Miss willard, with an eye to econ
omy, took it away and gave him a single
carnation. He was deeply offended and
shifted at it disdainfully. Again he climbed

THE WIFE OF THE CHINESE MINIS
TER.

From Leslie's Weekly: Nine. WI has
sensibly remained faithful to the Oriental
dress, and her costumes are the envy of
her American sisters. On state occasions
she wears a brilliant petticoat of red or
blue, Just short enough to show her little
feet, heavily embroidered with gold. Over
this is worn a tunic of black and purple,
also richly wrought with bullion. On her
breast is a large gold eagle, which sig
nifies that her rank is equal to that of
her husband and she may at all functions
enter n leave the room at his side in
stead of behind him, as would be reQuir-
ed if she were of lesses rank. Her head
dress is a narrow and of black satin, or
namented with a handsome jewel a
large pearl usually-Worth quite a kings
worn directly in front. This
inc is decorated with flowers which
fall just behind the ears and add much
to it's picturesqueness. Her jewels are
extremely beautiful. The stones are
large, of fine lustre, exjuisitely cut, and
set in the quaint m which Oriental
goldsmiths seem to hold the secret of,
part of the world. MI. Wu's opinions re-
garding some of the American customs
are we'll known, and his structures on the
habit of binding the waist instead of the
feet have been given wide publicity.
Mime. WI shares her husbands views re-
garding what they look upon as an in
strument of torture, the modern corset,
and when asked not long g what she
thought most strange upon her arrival
in this country, said, a panied expression
coming over her face. 1.-THE small

can they breathe?"

been toiling in a sand quarry. There are

crowd the smokin-room of the Mount Mel
