GOT HIS REWARD.
The Duke, the Cow Driver and q Miss.
ing Sovereisn.

The Duke, the Cow Driver and . Mtoos
ing Sovereign.
The father of the present Duke
of Buccleuch was not averse to q
joke as regarded his identity, and
an amusing anecdote, with some
what serious ending, is told about
him. His grace purchased a COW
from a farmer near Dalkeith and
gave orders it should be sent up
the following morning. According
iy the cow was sent, and the duke,
who was walking in the avenue, es-
pied a small boy who was attempt
ing Intellectually to drive the ami
NAL. The boy, not knowing the
duke, cried out:
Hi, mon, come here an gi' US a
ham wi this beastp'
The duke, greatly amazed, deter
mined to have a joke. He walked
on slowly and took no notice. At
last the little fellow called:
"Come here, mon, an help US, an
sure as anything I'll give ye half I
get"
This entreaty had the desired eff
feet. The duke gave a helping
hand.
Sand now," said he, chow much
do you think you will get for this
job?"
COW dinna ken," said the boy,
'sbut l am sure O. something, for
the folk up at the house are good
to a. bodies."
As they neared the house the
duke left the lad and entered by a
different way. He called a servant
and put sovereign into his hand,
telling him to give it to the boy
who brought the COW. The duke
then returned to the avenue and
was there met by the boy.
"Well, how much did you get?"
ga shilling" said the boy, "an'
there's the half of it to ye."
':But surely you got more than
shilling?''
'No," said the boy earnestly,
'that's all l got"
'"There must be some mistake"
said the duke, "and as I know the
duke if you return I think I'll get
you more"
The boy consented, and back they
went. The duke rang the bell and
ordered all the servants to assemble.
F'Now," said he, FEshow me the
person who gave you the shilling"
'It was that chap there" point
ing to the butler, who, utterly con-
fused, attempted to apologize. The
duke cut all explanations short and
ordered him to quit his service in
stantly. AS for the boy, the duke
was so delighted with his honesty
that he sent him to school and edu-

The Suns Heat.

1t is not impossible to express the
marvellous power of the SUMS heat,
but we can admit without shame
that it is impossible to comprehend
it. The heat emitted by the sun in
each second is equal to that which
would result from the combustion
of eleven quadrilions six hundred
thousand millards of tons of coal
burning at the same time. This
same heat would boil per hour seven
hundred thousand millions of cubic
miles of water at the temperature
of ice. Attempt to understand this!
As well might the ant attempt to
drink the ocean!

The Written Koran.

Mohammedans never use printed
Korans because in doubt as to the
ingredients entered into the compo-
sition of the printing ink. They
are afraid of being defled by taking
into their hands a copy of the sa-
cred book that may have been pro-
duced with the ink in which pigs
fat instead of linseed oil has formed
one of the component parts. They
therefore confne themselves to
reading hand written reproductions
of the prophets work, which are
naturally very expensive.

Hitting Back.

The elder Sothern, the creator of
the Lord Dundreary fame, was ex-
tremely sensitive to Interruptions
Of any sort. Seeing a man in the
act of leaving his box during the
delivery of one of the actors best
speeches, he shouted out: EsHi, you.
sir! Do you know there is another
act?" The offender was equal to
the occasion, however. He turned

His Introduction.

Mark Twain said the only intro
duction to literary audience that
he ever had that seemed to him the
right word in the right place, a real
inspiration, was as follows:
stLadies and Gentlemen shall
not waste any unnecessary time III
the introduction. I don't know any
thing about this man. At least /
only know two things about him.
One is that he has never been in
prison, and the other is / can't see

Redeemed Himself.

Sir Charles Napier had an effec-
tive method of dealing with cow
ards. On one occasion a flying SOL
der was stopped by his fellows, who
were about to shoot him when the
general intervened.
"Give the man another chance -
he ordered. ''Place him in the
front rank, and if he turns again
let him be shot"
The man eagerly embraced this
chance of life, overcame his fears
and fought bravely for the rest of
the day.

The Safe Way.

A coal miner in the east of Scot
land was visited by a friend, and
among the places of interest shown
was, of course, the pit mouth. See

with the stout steel rope, the min
er's friend exclaimed:
'My word! l shouldn't like to 20
down there on that rope"
"Why," exclaimed the miner,

When the Stars go OCT.

A young girl once asked a
bishop if he thought it was wicked
for a girl to use a ''swear-w word"
beginning with d.. The bishop
replied by asking her if she didn't
think it vulgur to do so.
Leaving wickedness out of this
question, the idea of a young girl
"a pretty, dainty girl-being Vul-
gar is most abhorrent to any right
minded person, Many girls use
slang, and think it is smart. L do
not believe that many are profane.
But slang from the lips of a young
girl is, to say the least, unbecom-
ing; and, my dear, do not believe
for moment that your boy &C
ouaintances think it is witty for
you to use slang-they do not.
Behind your back they criticize
you for it, and to your face they
treat you with less respect than
YOU would otherwise command.
A high school teacher recently
talked to her class of girls on
"Ideals," says The Youths Com
panion. Here is a part Of what
she said, every line of which you
should read, and read again, and
take seriously to heart.
''It is hard for you girls to re-
alize the subtle influence you have
on boys of your own age, and
younger. They idealize you; they
depend on you to be innocent,
pure and good. You may shrug
your shoulders and say you don't
care what this or that boy thinks
of you, but you ought to care
and deeply-every time an ignohle
act or careless word of yours robs
any boy of an ideal which might
have lighted him thro dark places
in his life but for you. He MAJ
