CHINESE PROVERBS.

Dig a well before you are thirsty.
The ripest fruit will not fall into
your mouth.
Great wealth means destiny. Mod
crate wealth means industry.
The pleasure of doing good is the only
one which does not wear out.
Water does not remain on the noun
tain nor vengeance in great mind.
To nourish the heart there is nothing
better than to make the desires few.
When life comes, 1t cannot be de-
clined. When it goes, it cannot be
detained.
Good governments get the peoples
wealth, while good instructions get
their hearts.
Those who labor with their minds
govern others. Those who labor with
their strength are governed by others.
A small bag cannot be made to con-
tain what is large. A short rope can
not be used 10 draw water from IA deep
well.
Let every man sweep the snow from
before his own door and not busy him
self about the frost of his neighbor's
tiles.

An Incident showing the military
Courage of the Monteneurin.

In military courage the Montenegrin
probably stands at the head of Euro
pean races. The best wish for baby
boy is, MAY you not die in your bedr'
and TO face death is, to man or boy,
only joyous game. Says w. j. Still
man in his Autobiography"
l have seen man under n heavy
Turkish fire deliberately leave the
trenches and climb the breastwork,
only TO expose himself from sheer
bravado.
While lying at headquarters at Orea-
buk. awaiting the opening of the cam
paign IN 1877, | was walking one day
with the prince, when a boy Of l6 or Is
approached us, cap in hand.
Now" said the prince. "I'll show you
an interesting thing. This boy Is the
last of good family. His father and
brothers were all killed In the last bat
tie, and | ordered him TO go home and
stay with his mother and sisters, that
the family might not become extinct"
re boy drew near and stopped be-
f0r us, his head down, his cap in hand.
What do you want?" asked the
prince.
IL want 90 go back to my battalion. ="
But" said the prince, you are the
last of your line, aud | cannot allow n
good family 10 be lost. You must go
home and take care OF your mother"
The boy began TO cry bitterly.
"Will you go home quietly and stay
there" said the prince. "or will you
take a logging and be allowed to
ncht?'
The boy thought for a moment. A
tiogging, he knew well, Is the deepest
disgrace that can befall Montenegrin.
Well he broke out, "since II isn't
for stealing I'll be flogged."
mo" said the prince, you must go
home"
Then the boy broke down utterly.
But" he cried, II want to avenge
my father and brothers,
He went away still crying. and the
prince said: "ln spite of all this he
will be in the next battle"

up in "locap elevator, at moderate
speed, but even that caused him TO

out on the firm landing. In coming
down to street level again they took
an express" With one switch Of the
handle and a few sparks from the con
trolling apparatus they were deposited
on the ground floor. The city man
asked the other IL that was quick
enough" for him. Quick enoughw he
exclaimed. "Why, might just as well

And she had little curl
That hung right down her forhead,
And when she was good


And when she was good
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
That little girl was Flossie. At
least her mother said so, ana surely
she knew all about IL. She was a
dear little girl; but, like most little
folks, was naughty and sometimes let
quick temper run away with her
Flossie's mother was not the only one
who felt sorry when she was eros !.
Bob was sorry too.
Bob was a cat, and he aud Flossie
were very fond OF each other and
were always together. Bob was
never cross and he felt unhappy
when his playmate was so. lie
always told her what he thought
about It, and sometimes ne punished
her. Yes he did, really and truly.
One day they had been romping
until they were tired, aud Bob bad
curled himself up on the rug. He
intended TO have nice nap, but had
hardly shut his eyes when Fossie
sat down IN q stool and began to
scream at the top OF her voice. Her.
mother had told her TO do something
that she didn't want TO do.
Bob raised his head and said,
"Meow." lie was so very sleepy,
you sec, and Flossie was making such
a dreadful noise. She knew what
Bob meant, but she did not care.
People that let their temper run
away with them never do care whom
they hurt. So Flossie kept on
screaming as loud as ever.
Bob bore it as long as he could, and
then he got up and stood looking at
her. What happened next was so
funny that Flossie's mother hal a
good laugh over it. She felt sorry
TO see her little girl so naughty, and
she intended TO punish her, but as
she thought Bob would do IL for her
she waited a little.
The cat walked over TO Flossie and
rubbed his head against her knee,
trying to coax her into better hu-
NOR.
"Let me alone" snapped Flossie.
Then Bob went back TO his rug and
sat down, looking sadly at his play
fellow. In minute be stood up
again, having made up his mind
what TO do. He started from the
other side Of the room at qaick run,
stood up on his hind legs ard actu-
ally boxed Flossie's ears. Then he
stepped back and jumped right at
her, landing on her shoulders, and
over she tumbled on the floor.
Flossie was not hurt at all, for Bob
had kept his claws shut up in lis
soft paws, but she was the most as
tonished little girl that you ever
saw, She lay quite still for minute
or two as IL she were trying 10 un-
derstand it all. Then she got up
looked at heI mother, and they both
broke out into a laugh so loud and
Jolly that Bob fairly hoped around
in delig Selected.
