WORDS OF WISDOM.

In the monday of life only short
shadows are cast.
In order to find out how strong q
stick is you must break it.
A good fisherman always provides
himself with plenty Of bait.
The man who borrows and seldom
pays is one who seldom lends.
When you confess a fault to a friend,
confess one that you know he also
has.
The man who is above initiating the
methods of others need never be afraid
OF being initiated.
Sometimes the loftiest monument
towers above the grave OF the poet
who starved to death.
Women were formed to temper man.
kind and sOothe them into tenderness
and compassion.-Addison.
Those who go slowly through life
have an opportunity Of reading the
guideboards along the way.
The riches Of the world and the graft
ications they afford are too apt when
their evil tendency is not opposed by a
principle of religion to beget that
friendship for the world which is en-
nifty TO God.
Prayer is so mighty an instrument
that no one ever thoroughly mastered
all its keys. They sweep along the in
finite scale Of mans wants and Gods
goodness.,-Hugh Miller.
Teach self-denial and make its prac-
tice pleasurable, and you create for the
world a destiny more sublime than
ever issued from the brains Of the wild
est dreamer.-Sir Walter Scott
Nothing is more dangerous than
friend without discretion: even a pru.
dent enemy preferable.-La Fontaine.
Prudence yields to circumstance,
folly quarrels with it, pride defies it,
wisdom uses it and genius controls it.

Sea-level does not. as is generally
supposed, represent the mean figure Of
the earth. The attraction Of mountains
and continents and variations Of
density cause the water to be heaped
up in places, and Colonel Clarke has
calculated that the diameter of the
equator ending in Peru and Singapore
is two and one-half miles shorter than
the diameter ending in Rhodesia and
the Pacific. Major S. =. Burrard esti-
mates that in the region of the Hima
layas actual sea-level is about 5000
feet higher than 1t would be If the
shape were not deformed. Another
source of error in surveys is the de.
Election OF the plumb line, and this
cause makes the position Of India on
the globe uncertain to some seven sec
onds.

AFilipfno Funeral,

One of the most striking things to be

the deceased follows in a hearse GOV.

gruesome design and drawn by six
black ponies, each bcdecked with head

hearse will be followed by men on foot
wearing knlckerbOckers and cooked

able vehicles of every description. If
the body Is to be inferred, the grave
diggers will precede the band with
their tools over their shoulders.
Most Filipino funerals, however, are
more pathetic. The father of q few
weeks old baby will trot out to the
cemetery entirely alone. with the little
white coffin balanced well on his head,
and If a man had not the price OF a
vehicle his remains will be carried out
on bamboo poles by four Cinnamon,

service before. The natives have diff
