BOYS AND GIRLS.
MhnfaHn, Can DO.

These are some OF the things boy can do:
tie can shout 80 loud the air turns blue;
He can make all soun IS OF beast and bird,
And a thousand more they never heard.
He can crow or cackle, chirp or cluck,
Till be fools the rooster, ben or duck,
He can mock the dog or lamb or COW,
And the cat herself can't beat his "me- ow."
He has sounds that are rufileo, striped, or
plain;
He can thunder by like a railway uain,
Stop at the stations breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
lie has ell Of his powers in such command
He can turn right into full brass band,
With all OF the instru nents ever played,
And march away as a street parade.
You can tell that boy is very i'll
II he's wide awake and is keeping still;
But earth would be-God bless their noise!-
A dull old place IL there were no boys.

country than all other diseases put together
anduntil the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it q local disease, and prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly failing te
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in

constitutional disease aud therefore requires

The Man Who Made Japan.

To speak of Japan is to speak of
Marquis Ito; and there are few, if
any, more wonderful personalities
than this same Japanese.
He began life as hater of foreign
ere and leather of Continental meth
DDS; now he is an admirer of all for
eign nations, and true disciple of all
that can be good for the advance
ment and betterment of the world al
large. Tender and true in his love,
mple and unassuming in his tastes
and life, great in his thoughts and
deeds.
Since 1865 very great reform in
Japan is due TO Marquis Ito, and the
enormous strides that that little coun-
try has made in progress can all be
traced to his wonderful genius and in
itiative.
He it was who adopted modern
methods of warfare against the Chi
nese. He selected his soldiers from
the middle classes, and not, as before,
from the mobiles and those of high
birth. He has introduced the custom
airy garb of European nations into
Japan; and bis last but greatest
achievement was the framing of the
new constitution, that went into effect
in 1890, and which for the first time
gave the Japanese the realization of
constitutional government. He has
walked and talked with Gladstone
and Bismarck, he has been entertained
by every present reigning civilized
monarch; but all the honours which
have been showered upon him have
not altered his simple, quiet and un-
affected ways.
With all his power he has never
gathered for himself fortune, and
he lives in a little villa at DISC, on
the coast near Yokohama.

The Troubles That Never Come

The story is told of lady who for
time kepta list of impending troubles.
1t was a relief to see them down in
black and white. Some mo nths later,
/ / looking over the list, she was sur
prised t. find that'nine -tenths of these
troubles had never materialized.
They had an existence only in her
Imagination.
The troubles that never come form
the heaviest part Of our daily load.
The worry, the fear caused by these
apprehended miseries, often work sad
havoc with brain and nerves. The
actual sorrows, the bereavements, the
6isappointments, have their comfort
and cure. But there is no cure for
troubles that never come. They are
haunting ghosts, unsubstantial as
mist, yet very real in their depressing
and harmful power over Us.
There is toll in our daily living; there
is WEAKNESS; still blessed rest will
follow. But the WEAKNESS of imag-
ined burdens drags the very heart
and hope out of those who indulge in
these unhealthful fancies:
"There's a song to Tighten the toll,
And a staff for climbing the height,
But never an Alpine stock
For the bills that are out Of sight.
"There are bitter herbs enough
In the trimming cup of to- day,
Without the sprig of rue
From to- morrow's unknown way"
Each day comes as fresh gilt fro m
the hand of God. In it are just the
experiences his loving wisdom has or
dained. Meet with brave heart all
that is in the days portion but shrink
not from phantom lions, or from the
shadows that seem to blot out the sun.

Two little negro boys were having a
difference of opinion. One was talk
ing with great volubiIity, while the
other was listening. The speaker was
pouring into his com panion's ears all
the walls Of his wrath in the charac-
teristic language of his race. Finally
he seemed to have exhausted himself,
and paused for breath.
Said the listener, Is you done?
Yes, I is done, replied the first
speaker.
Well, den, said his companion, if
you is done done, all dem things you
say is, you is.

Patience with Eccentricity.

Many Of the leading people in Eng
lish society regarded Thomas Carlyle
with feeling almost akin to reverent
delight when he chose to behave like
an ignorant boor in their drawing
rooms, even taking his seat, it is said,
unbidden in the presence of the, queen.
