An Awkward PosItion.

The following incident occurred at an
entertainment in a large provincial
town. On the programme a certain
vocalist was down to sing The Miners
Dream Of Home and to add special
effect to the song he, having a friend
a fireman at the fire station, about
three minutes walk from the hall, ran
out and borrowed his top-boots.
His turn on the programme came
around, He appeared on the stage in
all the glory of a red blouse, slouch
hat, white breeches and (the freman'sl
top-boots His rendering Of the song
was great success up to the middle
Of the second verse, when a commo-
ton was heard at the entrance of the
hall.
Then a hot and eager fireman forced
his way through the audience up to
the footlights, and bawled out at the
top Of his voice:
Bill, you've got to come out Of them
ere boots If you value your life. I'm
called to a fire. ."--Tit-Bits.

LYNX A TERROR All BAY.
But ScourGe of the Canadian wilds WIN
Not Voluntarily Attack Man.

Not Voluntarily Attack Man.
Scarcely another animal presents
such a striking picture of savage
hatred, of uHcompromising ferocity as
a Canadian lynx at bay: That brutal
head, with low forehead, beneath
which two cruel eyes are blazing like
evll stars; that fierce display of teeth
between the parted wrinkled lips, and
the massive, powerful feet, hiding
fiesh-tearlng hooks of living steel, all
impress the beholder with the fact that
a personal encounter with a Canadian
wildcat must end in death for at least
one of the combotants.
Not that the lynx is specially aggres.
sve in his attitude toward men-fat
from it-and the stories of how he fol.
lows belated hunters through the over.
hanging branches Of the forest trees,
seeking a favOrite opportunity to
spring upon his human prey, are pro-
ducts of the Imagination. But when,
after a chase, he is driven to take
refuge in a tree. where he crouches
in preparation for his last battle,
would prefer. unless armed with a
rifle, to interview almost any other
creature Of equal weight.
Many years ago the Canadian lynx
was to be found in the mountainous
districts Of New England New York
and Pennsylvania, but now he Is sci.
dom seen far south of the Canadian
border. He is TO be met with in La.
brador, and is quite common in certain
parts Of the Dominion, where he Is
hunted chiefly for his skin.
He Is somewhat larger than the com
mon American wildcat lynx rufus),
and, moreover his head is rounded
and broader in proportion than that
of his kinsman. His triangular furry
ears are each tipped with tuft of
coarse black hair. The general color
of the body is gray, with many irregu
lar darker spots; the fur on the under
side of the body is lighter. Beginning
at the ears and extending downward
around the throat is a ruff of longer
hair, which adds not n little to the
animals appearance of ferocity. The
tail is short, thick and we'll covered
with hair.
He is splendidly adapted for the wild
life which he leads. Clad in his thick
winter fud, he can resist the most
penetrating cold, and when his hunting
luck is against him. as it often Is, his
great vitality enables him TO exist for
many days without food. His methods
of pursuing and capturing his prey are
very similar to those adopted by the
domestic cat.-Ottawa Free Press.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
Be temperate in all things.

A woman's tongue is her sword, and
she does not let it rust
The cheerful live longest in years,
and afterward in our regards.
To see what is right, and not to do it,
is want of courage or of principle.
We prepare ourselves for eternity by
doing our days work while 1t is day
Work is healthful until one lives for
it, then it is but drudgery, and spirit
racking.
You cannot make much progress if
you let yourself slide down six days
and only try to climb up on one.
1t is strange how much colder il is
in winter and how much hotter in sum
mer on Sundays than on other days.
A certain fastidiousness is some
times mistaken for fine sensibility,
when it Is the refinement Of seltislness
Let us endeavor hereafter to uplift
humanity individually, and not in the
mass. Massing humanity will not DO.
Love is strong as death. Many
waters cannot quench love, neither can
floods drown it.-Proverbs of Solo,
mon.
He that has once done you a kindness
will be more ready to do you another
than he whom you yourself have
obliged.
He who gives away money or goods
may impOverish himself. But he who
gives away wisdom, justice, friend
ship, good will, grows rich through his
giving.
The discourteous are cursed with a
twilight murkiness of SOUL" impene-
trable to any ray Of beauty, sublimity
or elegance; dead to the true apprecia.
ton of aught there is in life that dis
tinguishes humanity from the animal.
Clear and vivid consciousness of the
divine presence is like the breathing of
a new life and a new spirit into all
things. When it comes to us it trans.
forms the universe. We are no more

In time of epidemics physicians in.

is a well established fact that cholera,

same thing obtains, says a well known
authority. in at least ninety per cent.

fear weakens the hearts action, i'm

THE WAVING OF THE CORN


Ploughman, whose gnarly hand yet kindly wheee
Thy plough to ring this solitary tree
With clover, whose round plat, reserved a-hed,
In cool green radius twice my length may be-
Scanting the corn thy burrows else might yield,
To pleasure August bees, fair thoughts and me,
That come here oft together-daily |,
Stretched prone in summers mortal ecstasy,
Do stir with thanks to thee stirs this morn
With waving of the corn.
Unseen, the farmers boy from round the hill
Whistles snatch that seeks his soul unsought,
And fills some time with tune, howbeit shr;
The cricket tells straight on his simple thought
Nay It's the crcket's way of being still;
The peddler bee drones in, and gossips naught;
Far down the wood, a one-desring dove
Times me the beating of the heart of love;
And these be all the sounds that mix each morn,
With waving of the corn.
From here to where the louder passions dwell,
Green leagues of hilly separation roll;
Trade ends where your far clover ridges swell.
Ye terrible towns, ne'er claim the trembling
That craftless all to buy or hoard or sell,
From out your deadly complex quarrel stole
To company with large amiable trees,
Suck honey summer with uniealous bees
And take times strokes softly this morn
Takes waving of the corn.
