Perseverance,.

Timour, the great Asiatic conqueror,
commonly known by the name Of Tam
erlane, had extraordinary persever-
ance. No difficulties ever led him to
recede from what he had once under
taken, and he often persisted In his
efforts under circumstances which led
all around him to despair. On such
occasions he used to relate to his
friend an anecdote of his early life.
81 once" he said, twas forced to take
shelter from my enemies in ruined
building, where I sat alone many
hours. Desiring to divert my mind
from my hopeless condition, ! fixed
my eyes on an ant that was carrying q
grain Of corn larger than itself up q
high wall. l numbered the efforts 1t
made to accomplish this object. The
grain fell slxty-nine times to the
ground, but the insect persevcred, and
the SEVENTEEN time 1t reached the top.
This sight gave me courage at the mo-
ment, and I never forgot the lesson"

charming daughter Of his neighbor,

you like to be mistress Of Holkham"
There is nothing should like better"
she replied. "Then I shall send my
nephew William to court you," said
the earl, glad that the fates seemed to
favor his project. But the lady calmly
and gravely answered, II shall never
be mistress Of Holkham on those
terms" "Why," exclaimed the aston

Iihatan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious
Murder is punished with fine vary
ing according to the Importance of the
slain, theft by a fine Of seven to one
hundred times the value Of the article
stolen. Here, again, the fine depends
on the social importance Of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer Of q thief is looked
upon as q worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
Of innocence or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe in the mlddle
ages. And if the lamas never 1ntllct
