WORDS OF WISDOM.

One to-day is worth two to morrow
Keep good company or none. Never
be idle.
There is no failure except in ceas-
ing to try.
1t is the wise head that makes the
still tongue.
Conservatism carried too far be-
comes dry rot.
There is no index of character so
sure as the voice.
All imposture weakens confidence
and chills benevolence.
Trities make up the happiness or
the misery Of mortal life.
Do good to thy friend to keep him,
TO the enemy to gain him.
One felt if she had been pretIier
she would have had emotions instead
of ideas.
Where malice persists we may safe
Iy assume that there is a criminal dis
position.
Vindictiveness, like all forms of re-
venge, is illogical as we'll as immortal.
Its presence is a sign of an exceed
ingly low type of morality.

lie knew WHO JOAN Was.

"NIaw exclaimed the interrogation
point, aged seven years, member Of
4 respectable south side family, as he
sat reading. "Ma! who was the maid
of Orleans?"
"She was young woman; French
patriot. Her other name was Joan OF
Arc" replied his mother. But by this
time he was so interested in seeing
his dog chase a neighbor's cat that the
story OF the French maiden had lost
all hold of him.
1t was some six months after this
that his teacher was asking the class,
''Who knows about Joan of Arc?" A
dim recollection of having heard the
name before puzzled but did not en-
tighten him.
"What was she maid OFF" suggested
the teacher
"Made of dust" they cried in
chorus, thinking of their catechism.
But the question completed the
circuit in the boys memory. He
dimlyrecalIed his talk with his mother.
Up went his hand. The teacher
nodded. "She was French patri-
arch, " he proudly answered, Chicago

= Switzerland has otmany feathered
songsters," says James T. Dubois,
Consul General, writing from st.
Gall to the State Department, "but
those that do exist are carefully pro-
tected, not only by law, but by the
fostering care of the people, particu-
larly the German-speaking people of
Switzerland. In 1875 law was
enacted prohibiting the trapping or
killing of song birds, or the robbing
or molesting of their nests in any part
of the Alpine Republic. But in North
ern Italy, bird murder is epidemic,
and this spirit has spread over the
Swiss Italian canton of Tessin, where
the willow wren, hedge sparrow,
black cap, swallow, nightingale and
little singers of all kinds are victims
of the trap, the net and the gun"

as realized what it meant a cold.
chilly fear took hold OF me and my
hair began to lift.
Supper over, 1 shut myself into the

the night light. With a somewhat
unsteady hand 1 unlocked the ca mera.
There, in an unexposed pile lay ten
plates, while in the changing we'll lay

it-a something-something with the
face of Alistair, and there, in these
two plates, the tragedy of his death
lay like an open book before me.
Mir Khan had lied. Grahame had
put up at this bungalow, he had been
murdered there, and his body thrown
into the river.
All my nervous fears had vanished.
My one thought was, as L carefully
washed the plates, that, at last, we
should be able to bring the murderer
to justice, and yet-would these plates
be evidence in court of lawP True,
they were faithful likenesses of the
two men, but who had taken the pho
tographs, and how was [ to account
for their presence in my camera?
But even as L turned the matter
over in my mind, tiny breeze came
up the river. 1t loosened the latchet
of the bathroom shutter aud swung it
open. Then it freshed aud swung it
close again. Before I had time to put
out my hand, the heavy corner caught
the plates that were drying on the
ledge. There was little crash, and
then--all that remained to me of the
proof of Alistair Grahame's murder
was--a tiny heap of broken glass.

There is one small species of but
terhy, the Bugong, which affords a
supply of food to the aborigines of
Australia. Vast numbers of them
congregate on the granite rocks of the
Bugong Mountains and the natives
collect them by making smothered
fires under the rocks and 80 suffo-
eating the butterflies They then
gather them by the bushel and bake
them on the heated ground, stirring
them gently to remove the down and

once or make cakes of them, which
resemble Jumps of fat and have a
sweet, nutty taste. Newcastle Eng.

That which passes as justice in
France is a unique thing. Not long
ago a member of a band of burglars
returning from a bootless burglary
expedition to a suburb Of Paris de-
liberately discharged his revolver at
a street car and seriously wounded a
passenger. A criminal court in the
French capital has just sentenced
him, upon conviction of this crime, to
a sentence of Imprisonment for
eight months. If he had killed the
passenger he probably would have got
as much as a year.

Life oi Lsborers on Boer Farms

The native laborers on the Boer
farms-often thirty or forty miles
from the nearest village-have hard
times compared to their brethren who
work in the dorp Gown; they are
badly fed, badly housed, and too
often treated as if they we're cattle.
One often wonders why an ill-used
family OF Ka6irs does not pack up its
few cooking pots and leave a cruel
master; but the real reason of the
Kafiirs' submission is tina. they are
always induced to make agreement to
serve for certain time-perhaps a
year or two years-and if they 60
away within that period they can he
brought back, beaten and put in the
tronk las the Jail is called. The only
food given Kaffirs on the farms is
mealies (corn), of which they make a

thick porridge; and perhaps once a
week they get a piece of mutton as a
treat for specially hard work.
