Rever-inE the Alphabet.

Mrs. Wordsworth, the wife OF the
English poet laureate, was a woman
universally beloved, and distinguished
for that personal beauty which
caused her husband to describe her
as "a phantom Of delight"
She was a capital story-teller, and
related her anecdotes with a strong
Westmoreland accent which added
much to the telling. One of her
stories, and one in which she took
great delight, went to illustrate the
pride of county families.
A Mr.. H and a Miss F. had
been recently married. Both were
from old north country families.
They were going to their first dinner
party after their marriage, and at
the announcement of dinner, the lady
was about to enter the drawing-room
in advance Of her husband, when that
pompous individual restrained her
with grand flourish, and said:
stop, madam, if you please. The
rs were always before the
F-'s."
And thereupon the lady fell back in
confusion, and the proprieties of
country family distinction were vim
dicated.-Youth's Companion.

Lieutenant
Lafferty's Lie
BY MRS. MOSES p. HANDY.
tcOpyrieh., 1891, BY Author. syndicate,

I CLAIM to be a truthful man, said
i the eX-heutenant. If any man
were to call me a liar, | should do nv
best to knock him down, regardless
of consequences; nevertheless, | be-
heve that there are times in the lives
of most women and men when a lie
is not only justifiable but praisewor-
thy; times when il is best for the
peace aud happiness of all concerned
to let Truth lie at the bottom of her
well and not monkey with the pump
handle.
When we were in Cuba l got to be
great friends with one of the other
heutenants in my battalion. He, En-
len, was winsome fellow. the sort
Of man whom most men and all
women, take to.
True, there were not many women
of the right sort within reach, still
there were a few. Chief among them
were the daughters OF Don Miguel
Cardoza, a Cuban patriot, whose
ranch was within easy reach of our
camp, and who was hospitality itself
to the American officers.
His son was a captain in the Cuban
army; l knew him well. Don Miguel
owned acres upon acres Of land, and be-
fore the war must have been immensely
wealthy; even now. in spite of Span
ish fines and robberies, he was rich
and the land, of course, was still
there.
He had two daughters. The cid.

tiolais, ''as Constant perfected his ap-

the supreme court
mo, 1t is not TOO late" Qufllebert ex-
claimed; ''it Is never too late to do
good. Let US have another toddy, and
when we drink that to friendship

Their glasses were filed and drain

glanced at the bare space on the table

OF red and blue chips on his own side,
and continued: 81 Will offer to play

pr. Maciscurle's Kindness.

Here is a story about Sir Morell Mae kenzle which gives a typical instance of his Kindness to nonpaylng patients:
 A wrctchcd girl tried to commit sui- eide by drinking carbolic acid. She in- jured her throat fearfully and in the hospital came under the notice of Sir Morell for a few weeks. She fingered on. being mortally Injured, for fifteen months and when lying dying in her miserable home longcd and longed Co see Cher doctor" a~ain. At last, per suadod by her entreaties I said would go to Harley street and ask him if he would visit her, though I could not reasonably hope for my success.

 "Not physically. but it would give her untold comfort"
 "All right Tn go." And go he did that very evening, and at the farthest verge of an east end slum sat by the girl. suggested one or two simple ale vlatons, called her "my dear'' and left her with two soyerelgns squeezed up,ln her hand.

when Anlmals Are In.

Said a prominent veterinari0n;l"Ani- mals when sick are the most helpless and nppreclatlve of all creatures. and the way of administering relief and medicine in many instances is as novel as it is effective. The most savage and revengeful animals during spells of se- were pain are as docile and tractable as a child. Relief must come from a hu- man being, and come quickly. anc they seem to know 1t. Tho most vicious horse when grooming with pain would allow a mere child to administer relief, and many of the wild animals when in sickness seem to forget their savage lnstlncts.'
