HEART PROVERBS.

he that hath no heart ought TO have
heels.
A happy heart is better than full
purse.
What comes from the heart goes to
the heart.
He who hath most heart knows most
of sorrow.
A cheerful countenance betokens a
good heart.
No estate can make him rich that has
a poor heart.
The hearts testimony is stronger
than thousand witnesses.
A glad heart seldom signs, but a
sorrowful mouth often laughs.
The heart is the hidden treasure OF
man; the tongue is the gate to the
treasure.
A good heart is the sun and moon;
or, rather, the sun, for 1t shines bright
and never changes.
There never was a heart truly great
and generous that was not also tender
and compassionate.

THREE FiSHERS.v
The Incident which Moved Kingsley
10 write sae Poem.


Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers as a result OF the many sad
sights he had seen at cloveIly. One
day Of horror in particular lived in his
memory, day. as he described It,
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns of the waterspouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale. and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from tisfr nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy even
from those iron walls OF rock than
from the pitiless bowling waste OF
spray behind them, and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrlelllng women and old men, casting
themselves ON the pebbles In -fruitless
agonies of prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet OF wife ana
child, till in one case alone u single
dawn saw upward of sixty widows and
orphans weeping over those who had
gone out the night before in the full
ness of strength and courage These
scenes lived ever in his mind.
/. But the Three Fishers" was written
as a result of one OF the strongest Incl,
dents in the stormy career of--the
preacher-autlior. In 1851 he preached
a sermon in n London church ON "The
Message of the Church TO the Laboring
Man" At It's close the vicar rose and
denounced him Bishop Bloomfield for
babe Kingsley TO preach again in his
diocese until, having read the sermon
and seen its author, lie withdrew the
edict. The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
to his home weary. There had nearly
been riot in the church. Sick at
heart. he retired to his study. When
he reappeared he handed to his family
his immortal song, ''as though 1t were
the outcome of 1t ALL" as his wife said.

The buffalo in the United States is
a bison; the partridge of Michigan and
pheasant of Pennsylvania and other
states is ruffed grouse; the rabbit,
so plentiful in the market ut times, is
a hare. Both species Of grouse, the
rufred and the pinnated, are called
pheasant, partridge and patrlge, and
the plnnated grouse is universally re-
ferred to as the prairie chicken. Prai-
RE chicken is not bad name for the
pinnated grouse, for 1t is original and
does not confound 1t with other birds,
but II is not right to use the names
partridge and pheasant when referring
to our grouse, for these are the cor
rect names Of European specimens.

MacMahon and Grevy.

In Paris in the revolution of 1880 a
law student was soundly kicked by one
of the kings officers for tearing down
Il copy of the ordinances placarded on
the wall. The officer was armed, the
student was not; so the latter ran
away. Nearly half century later, in
1870, the officer called upon the stu
dent to bid him goodby, having just
resigned the presidency of the French
republic ON account of radical differ
ence with the majority of the national
assembly on questions of state policy
He combined with his adieus also a
graceful word of congratulation on
the students election to succeed him in
the presidential chair. The student
was Jules Grevy; the officer was Pa
trice de MacMahon, who died ripe in
years and honors.

Beauties of Red Tape.

A typical instance of the war Office
methods is furnished by correspond
ent on one of our stations. An officer
having occasion for the use of a screw
driver made application for the supply
of that humble but handy implement
from the government stores. His appli-
cation was banded about in the usual
manner from officer to officer and final
ly reached the upper authority, from
whom n reply filtered back by the same
devious ways to the effect that screw
drivers were only supplied in tool
boxes and not singly. Nothing daunt-
ed, the officer at once applied for a
box of tools and after the usual cir
cumlocutory tactics was informed that
boxes of tools were only supplied
to carpenters shops. BY this time the
officer, who had quite forgotten what
he had wanted the screwdriver for,
had thoroughly entered into the spirit
of the campaign, and his next applica-
ton was for carpenters shop. He
got it.-London Tit-Bits.

s DANCE IN THE kLONDikE
Joaquin Miller's Story and the way
He CEinched 1t.

ne thlucneu
At one of his lectures Just after his
return from the Klondike Joaquin Mil
Ter told the following story: "One night
| was invited to dance in a miners
cabin, and while Bill Dalton scraped
away on his fiddle we just hoed ii
down. But the miners tramped in and
out so much between dances that be-
fore midnight the ladies declared the
floor was so slippery they couldn't
dance another step unless something
that never was possible In mining
days in California. Each miner gal
lantly opened his buckskin powder
pouch and sprinkled gold dust on the
foorl And this was repeated through
out the night. And in the morning,
ladies and gentlemen, those miners
never troubled themselves about sweep
ing up that gold dust. They just hitch
ed up their dog sleds and rode away"
At this point of Miller's narrative
there was slight agitation in the au-
dience, an ominous sign of incredulity
but Miller was equal to it. With a
wave of his hand toward one of the
boxes, he said, And my old friend up
there in the box, Captain John Healy
will substantlate what l say"
II was a master stroke of the poet
for the house burst into applause and
greatly embarrassed the modest mil
lionaire mining and railroad promoter
of Alaska, who unsuspectingly had ac
cepted Miller's invitation to attend the
lecture in the afternoon.
