To lovers of outdoors there are few
things in the wide world which are
more enchanting, more altogether de-
lighting, than just such a brook, whose
course-whose life, so to speak, have
been trying to bring to the mind Of
those who know all its turns and
whims and caprices in summer and in
winter, in spring and in autumn, when
much rain had maddened it and when
none had caused it to shrink into a
warped thing of nature without form
and void. We may be hundreds Of
miles from the brook which we know
best, but we know it is flowing just as
it used to do, and there is ever the
thought that if we cannot see it in its
daily moods there are others who may
do So And no matter the name of the
peaceful valley through which it flow
ed or where that valley may be, it
was the brook of our childhood, and
there is a brook, or ought to be, away
back somewhere in the mind of every
one whose heart and memory take him
back to the scenes where at least some
younger days were spent.-Outdoors.

The worlds Highest Monument.

Love on Earth and In Heaven.

The difference between love on earth
and love in heaven is not to be con-
veyed in words, but in tranquil and
pure moods it may even on earth be
apprehended by the sight of the spirit.
Love in heaven has realized all that
earthly love aspires to, and from that
goal its progress begins, never to cease.
The sky toward which it yearned in the
world has become the ground on which
it stands here, but now another sky is
above it. We forecast heaven as re-
pose ard peace, the fulfilling of the
hearts desire, the immortal presence
with us of beauty and happiness. But
man is not so poorly content. We
leave behind us on earth the obstacles
of the body, and in heaven we labor
not for bread, raiment and shelter;
hearts are not parted by space and
time; we deceive not, strive not one
against the other, scheme not to outdo
others for the gain of our own name
and fame. Yet in heaven are labor,
emulation, ambition, loves holy fear
and humility deeper than hell is deep
below the heavens. Tears we have
also and awe of that want which only
the divine fullness can supply.-Julian
Hawthorne in Century.

Strange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes a Scotch hunt
er. "a hind in Caithness came to some
crofter's hut near the forest and was
poking about to see if there was any
thing she could pick up when she found
an old tin pail lying in some out of the
way corner. In went her nose and
down came the handle behind her ears.
Then somehow the whole pail slipped
down her neck, and there she was,
caught. She was seen several times
with her strange necklace, which pre-
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly The clatter when she got
under way was tremendous, and the
other deer were frightened for miles.
Several unsuccessful attempts were
made on her life, but l never heard the
sequel. Anyhow, she must have died
soon from nervous prostration, coupled
with the shock, or from some ladylike
disease of that sort"

1t should be considered part Of

on every side there seams to be an
attempt to stretch the 1000 income to
a $2,G00 scale, the $1,000 income to a
$4,000 scale, $1,000 is made TO do duty

Korean Children.

The children of Korea are extremely
quaint and pretty, especially when only
"a few years old. At New Years they
are generally dressed up in brand new
frocks, and though, according to our
IDEAS of taste, we should not give vel
low sleeves to bright red jacket and
wear this over a green frock, | must
say that somehow or other it looks all
right there and relieves the monotOny

A derrick is an innocent mechanical
apparatus for lifting heavy weights,
but it gets its name from an English
hangman called Derrick, who flourish
ed many years ago. The people of that
time thought that the device used only
in the hangman's trade resembled the
more common mechanism which now
bears his surname. Somewhat similar
ly, the term rufIian is believed by
many to have come from Morocco,
where the inhabitants of the Riff coun-
try were and are pirates and altogether

and Court Contentment.
How full the world is of grumblersl
Many Of the same people who scold in
sumner because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
is no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old If we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
eyitable The truly happy are the hap
py go lucky, who take everything as 1t
comes and make the best of 1t.
If it rains. all that is left to do is to
put up our umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won:
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery WILL if there is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and be glad it is no worse.
