Eating for a Hukhand

When the parents of a young man
in Russia decide that a certain young
lady would make suitable mate for
him they say nothing about the mat
ter to anyone, but on some evening
they will drop around Unexpectedly
to the prospective brides home and
will stay for supper. During the
meal they will keep a close watch on
the young lady. If she eats fast she
will perform her work speedily, if
she goes neatly and Clearly about
her plate she will perform her work
neatly and clearly; if she does not
talk much she will work and not talk
and prove a faithful and obedient
wife to her husband; if she prefers
rye bread to white she will be salts
led with her lot; if she does not

"For Others she said, sit is fitting
that they should do SO, once, twice, or
several times, accor ding to their rank
and station, for l am empress, and
they are all so far beneath me; but
you are Deucalion, my lord; and
though till to-day l knew you only
from pictures drawn with tongues, I
have seen you now, and have judged for
myself. And so l make this decree:
Deucalion is above all other men in At
lantis, and if there is one who does not
render him obedience, that man is en-
envy also of Phorenice, and shall feel
her anger"
She made a sign, and a stair was
brought, and then she called to me,
and | mounted and sat beside her in the
golden half-castle under the canopy
of royal snakes. The girl who stood
behind in attendance famed us both
with perfumed feathers, and at word
from Phorenice the mammoth was
turned, bearing US back towards tie
royal pyramid by the way through
which it had come. At the same time
also all the other machinery of SPLEEN

and the gaudily bedecked civil traders
fell into procession before and behind,
and l noted that body of troops, heav-
lily armed, marched on each of the
mammoth's tanks.
Phorenice turned to me with a smile
"Your majesty overwhelms me with
so much notice"
''You looked at my steed before you

So Tatho was right, and the swine

CHAPTER ".

THE WELCOME OF PHORENICE.
The splendid city grew out of the
sea as we approached, and to every
throb of the oars the shores leaped
nearer. l saw the temple where had
been admitted first to manhood; l saw
the pyramid in whose heart l had been
initiated to the small mysteries; and
then (as the lesser objects became dis
cernible) l made out the house where
a father and a mother mad reared me,
and my eyes became dim the mem
cries rose.
1t has been said that the great should
always collect dignity by keeping
those of lesser degree waiting their
pleasure, though for myself l must say

paltry and beneath me. Phorenice

steed, trumpets gave the order, and
the advance began.
Sitting in the doorway of pavilion
by he waters edge, saw the soidiery
who formed the head of this vast con-
course emerge from the great broad
street where it left the houses. They
marched straight across to give me the
salute, and then ranged themselves on
the further side of the square. Then
came to the Mariners Guild, then more

WHICHEVER WAY.

Whichever way 1 turn my eyes,
Or listen with hearing ear,
Nature prepares some sweet surprise
OF sight or sound to soothe and cheer.
The emerald CLEAN on messy stem,
The rough red-brown of northern pine,
The tender pinky-white of birch;
These and a thousand joys are mine.
Dew-pearls and diamonds scattered free
A myriad gems, a shimmeTtng bliss,
The magic of frosted tree;
What are the Orient mines to this?
The fairy sprays in messy bed,
The half-blown primrose family sweet,
The bright-veined ivy brown and red;
These are the treasures at our feet.
The trailing garlands of the rose,
Fit for the pearly gate of Heaven;
The glory that at sunset CLOVIS
Like benedfction freely given.
The ripple of a tiny brook
The deep-toned murmur of the sea:
Page after page of Natures book,
A wondrous choral symphony.
The colors on a crumbling wall,
The shadow of a leafless Dough;
Beauty abounds in great and small,
God-given wine to cheer US now.
The silent beauty of the night,
The solemn stiffness of the morn,
The colors paling into light,
The joyous songs at day new born.
The lights and shadows in the wood.
The thousand voices of the spring,
When all creation seemeth good,
And joy in every living thing.
