How To Crow East.

Take good care of disagreeable
duties. Attend to these first. Never
select the things that you want to do,
and shirk upon others the things tina,
you do not want to do Wherever
you are, choose the disagreeabe
things
You will get your pay in manhood
or womanhood, You cannot grow in
any other way so fast. You may he
angry with some shlftless one who is
willing to put on you work which he
or she ought to do, and you may feel
that there is injustice in it, but you
cannot afford to be unfaithful because
somebody else is.-Scottlsh Reformer

Lord BeaoonsfIeld Gave a Surprise.

Lord Beaconsneld often met with
bitter political hostility in his private
capacity one day, walking about his
country place in the easy coat and
general careless attire he liked
among his farmers, he encountered
two women, strong partisans OF Glad
stone. Surprising him to be the keep
or OF gardener or something Of that
sort, they inquired If he would show
them over the place, which he at once
undertook to do. While they were
walking about they overwhelmed him
V IN questions as to the habits of the
master of the manor, and one of them
finally said: 40 you think You could
manage to get us sight of the old
beast himself?" Madam" said Lord
Beaconsfield, 1.-The old beast has the
honor to wait upon you now"

THE FRENCH ARMY.
Fit to EndOw the Standards With
Their Ancient Glamour.

Their Ancient Glamour.
The manoeuvres, taken as a whole,
appeared to afford fresh evidence
that the French army in the field
will be thoroughly ready for any eff
fort that may be imposed upon. it.
A larger part might with advantage
be allowed to the initiative of lead
ership in its highest expression,
but the staff is thoroughly trained
and carries out its duties to perfec-
ton. The organization is as perfect
as any human work of the kind can
be, and every part of it has it's al
Ilotted place in sound and work.
manlike system. The modelled reg
iments of the Fourth Division were
remarkably fine set of men, and
presented that warlike appearance,
which has always characterized the
infantry of France. Supported by a
thoroughly modern, pushing and
hard hitting field artillery, and by
cavalry which arouses the enthusi-
asm of all officers of this arm the
French infantry will, in the writer's
belief, endow the French standards
with all their ancient glamour and
renown, should the call of patriot
ism once more bring them into the
field, and France remain true to her.
