What has become Of the Belgian
hare?
It is not a great while since this /
innocent and Iong-eared animal
was represented as. the menace Of
American agriculture and the
coming plague Of the nation. It
was prophesied tLat the hare. if
introduced, would overrun the
whole country and make 1t impos-
sible to raise any crops, and that
It would become as great a NUS
ance as the mongoose in the West
Indian island where 1t was taken
to kill snakes and eventually be
came a greater pest than the
snakes. But nothing Of the kind
has occurred.
And before that, it was prophe-
Sled that this same innocent. long
cared quadrlrped with the posi-
biIitics was to be the salvation OF
the American farmer. aud Of the
poor man in general; that rabbit
farms would be so profitable that
moor naonIp could easily make
/ fortune that the meat would be
/ excellent and cheap. and enable us
TO defy the meat trust and live
on rabbit stew; and that the soft,
/ thick coats Of the rabbit would
eIothe us all If necessary, in time

BRIBERY m BRITISH WORKSHOPS
By T. GOOD.

Under conditions at present exist
ing in many British workshops the
man who gets on the best. VINO IS
favored by the cIeanest and most
comfortable jobs, who maintains his
employment when others are dis
missed through temporary slackness,
and Who is singled out for promo
zion. is he who regularly attends
either the same place Of worship CT
the same public-house as his fore
man, and it by no means follows as
a coroIlary that this is the best man
in the shop.
The result under these circum-
stances is that men who have Sc
cured positions Of trust in work

are not too self-respecting 10 receive
bribery in the shape Of tips" and
treats" from some of those work
men under their authority. to the
detTiment alike Of honest labor and

THE THREE LESSONS

There are three lessons w0aId write
Three words as with burning Pen,
IN t-aciHgs Of eternal Light,
Upon the hearts Of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now
AID gladness hides her face in scoTn,
Put then thu shadow from thy brow
To nigtt but hath its morn.
Have Faith. where'er thy bark is driven
The caIm's disPort, the tempest's mirth-
Know this-Cod rules the host Of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth
Have Love. Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call;
And scatter ike the. circling SIN
Thy charities On all.

Strength when Hfe's surges roll.
Light when thou else were blind.

Gen. Too1nbs addressed the court and
jury at the last, and after fully discuss
ing the testimony of the eye-witnesses
he concluded thus:
Your honor, please, and gentlemen
of the jury: A few years ago my only
brother fell wounded on the battlefield
of Gettysburg. He lay there bleeding
to death, with no friendly hand to help
him. Shot and she'll the fierce, fiery
stream of death, were sweeping the
earth about him. No friend could go
TO him, no surgeon dared approach
him. The singing of bullets and the
wild music of the shells was to be his
only requiem. My brother had body
servant a negro man, who waited on
him in camp. The negro saw his mas

sheet of battle and fame and death he
went A cannon shot tore the flesh
from h;S breast, but on he went and.
gathering my brother in his arms. the
blood of the man mingling with the
blood of the master, bore him to safety
and life. Jim, open your collar!"
And the jury saw on Jim's breast
long, Jagged scars where the shell had
ripped it's way.
Continuing Gen. Toombs said: "Jim's
skin may be black-he may be ne

the old slaves had for their masters
and how that love was shown:
A negro man, strong and healthy,

other negro and had been lying in Jail
for some time, awaiting his trial The
testimony against him was given by

rose and in a voice deep and low. but
full Of marked gentleness, said: will
your honor please mark me for the de-

1t was Gen. Robert Toombs of Geor-
gia. His face was wrinkled some with
age, but it was large and strong, and
the lines of intellect made deeper
wrinkles than those of age. His hair
was white, but 1t rolled back in baby
curls from the most splendid brow that
ever graced man. His form was tall
