All its effort was to guide the heart and
mind. The body might stumble along
anyhow, and 1t generally did.
Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come in
through the door of physical suffering.

asks, why does my back ache, my head

woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told it is part
OF the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.

aueerIy Procured Evidence.

Many years ago a ship was chased
at sea on the suspicion that she was
a SLAYER. During the pursuit her cap
tain dropped something overheard.
When overhauled the old tub was tax
IN to Port Royal for trial. There was
nothing on board to sustain the charge
of slave dealing, and there seemed ey.
cry likelihood of its wner recovering
damages for illegal seizure and deten-
ton. But another ship had passed in
the night in the wake of the others.
She had witnessed the chase and fight,
but had stopped to catch a shark by
the way. In the stomach of the shark
the sailors found a tin box. In the box
were the papers Of the fugitive vessel.
These proved her to be a SLAYER Of the
most unequlvocal character, and upon
their evidence she was condemned and
confiscated.

My master at ST. Sayiour's gram

of the tyrant of Dotlieba!:; Hall.
Finding that at the age cf ten years
i had not made much progress i'll the

cords in Latin, he determined TO give
me a good birching. He was a most

never satisfied with a birch less than
four or five feet long, with plenty Of
small, sharp n Oh 1t. He never
used the same one twice.
''The fiat having gone forth, l was
stripped to my bare back and made to

strokes as hard as his strong arm en-
abled him to give, causing the blood
to squirt all W. my back. Many OF

Good Hair
Grabs Hard and soft.

The process of crabs shedding dur
ng the sumper season is as follows:
The crabs become fat; then they as
sumo a blush look on the back and
yellow on underside. When in this
condition if an outer shell be broken
there will be found a skin similar to
the inner skin of an egg covering the
crab. In this stage the crab is known
rs a peeler. Vhe next stage is WHEN the
Rlter smell begins to open, and the
crab is then known as a buster. When
The outer shell is stuffed, the crab is
then q soft crab. If she has escaped
from the cannibalistic male crabs, who
pursue her during this period, she lies
hidden in the grass in shoal water un-
til the next tide, which hardens her
shell considerably. and the crab is call
ed a buckrum. Buckrums are the tough
crabs sold as soft crabs, and when
cooked the shell turns red, like that Of
a lobster, and is Eor desirable on ac-
count Of its bri%ttleness. In another
tide the crabs become truly hard and
go where they please without fear of
being devoured by the male members.

A Royal catspav.

Peter the Great particularly de-
lighted in drawing teeth, and he strict
ly enjoined his servants to send for
him when anything of that sort was to
be done. One day his favorite valet
de chambre seemed very melancholy.
The car asked him what was the mat
ter. "Oh, your majesty" said the man,
my wife is suffering the greatest
agony from, %toothache, and she obsti-
nately refuses to have the tooth taken
out" 'If that is ALL" said Peter, 1--WE
will soon cur 1t. Take me to her at
once" When they arrived the woman
declared that she was not suffering at
Rll-there was nothing the matter
with her. THAT is the way she talks,
your majesty" said the valet. "She
Is suffering fortunes"
Hold her head and hands," said the
car. II will have it out in a moment"
And he instantly pulled out the indi-
Gated tooth with great deXterity, amid
profuse thanks from the husband.
What was Peters Indignation to dis
cover a little later that his valet had
used him as an executioner to punish
his wife, who had never had an I'M
sound tooth in her head.

Machinery Tones.

Engineers judge of the condition Of
their machinery by the tone it gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary OF locomotive, has
a particular tone Of its own. The en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from it at once ex-
cites a suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what Is
the matter; he may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone Of
his machine will be at once percephble
and, being instantly recognized, will
cause him to start on an immediate in
"%estigation.

The Monks of Tibet.

A traveller in Tibet says that the
peasant women of that country are
CHEEKY and, when washed, buXom and
comely. The monks are the blot on
the landscape. They bear no resem-
blance to the women of the country.
One would think they belonged to a
different type, and yet they are the
sons and brothers of these women. The
reason probably is the low, degraded
life led by the ordinary monk, a life
without interest, without work, devoid
Of any pursuit, intellectual OF other
wise, and passed in the droning of
chants and the performance Of ritual,
the meaning of which they neither
know nor care about.

Of Grammap schools.

Grammar schools are schools which
were founded to teach grammar at a
time when the word had a very differ

at the present time.
Grammar is the science which inves-

art Of using 1t correctly, and would
NATURALLY imagine thai a grammar
school must necessarily be a school
where the English language is taught,
but it is not so.
In the middle ages, when the clergy
were the only educated men, Latin was
