Makinp a Gunstook-

A party of men were out hunting. and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and inas much as he was very anxious to 6c some shooting early the next mornin 2 he decided to fix up his shooting iron Finding a walnut fence rail, he set tc work. His only tools were an ax and big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like 2 charm.
 "How did you do itG" asked one o1 the number greatly surprised
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle awav all that you want whittIed away When you have all the wood cut oil that you don't want you have gun stock."-Kansas City Journal

Many examples of Chinese tilial ptety strike the occidental reader as ridicu. ous. There is the famous story of

 A similar case is that of Wang P'ou whose mother had an unconquerable tread of thunder and lightning. When she died she was buried in a mountain -orest, and thereafter, when violent thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou needless of the wind and rain, would 1urry to her grave and throw himself 10 his knees.

There the quickly accommodating moths were banked. to be drawn upon whenever tho inventor and perfecter of the en- terprise required pocket money.

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news. and he therefore postponed the communication of 1t to the king till next morning, when he explained that ae was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The k1ng replied Nothing disturbs my sleep. as you may see from this in stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at o'clock in the even ing. For many hours 1 was quite overcome, but at midnight l went to bed and slept my usual eight hours. The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrands niece. In her mem. oirs

Enter the Water.
 It has turned out. under the search tng experimentation of recent years, that much that we have supposed tt be instinct in animals is nst instinct at al. For example, the young duck prov eS to have no instructive impulse to enter the water. does not recognize the element by sight and is, in short. Tn precisely the same situation as a chick until by happy chance, it gets its legs wet. Wet legs, however, and the lift of the water on the body at once start up the swimming reaction. and away sails the duckling, as chick ems and children do not.
 The chick. on it's part. has definite instinct to peck at any small object that catches it's eve That takes care of its feeding Put tbn chick has no corresponding instinct to drink and would die of thirS; before 1t would recognize water by sight alone Drink, ing 1t has to learn for itself by peck.

Q.-How may we account for the pe- culiar power which some men possess over animals, as manifested particu- larIy by trainers of wild animals? Is there anything in the Bible that would reasonably account for this wonderful faculty? (H. F. R.)
 AnsWer.@The extraordinary powers exercised by some in the control and subjugation of wild animals is doubt less due to the fact that these possess in some degree, mental endoWrnents originally conferred upon mankind by the Creator. The first man was creat- ed in the image and likeness of God, and given dominion over the fowls of the air. the fish of the sea, and over every living thing that moved on the earth. Man was the absolute monarch, and controlled the animal kingdom as such. As God Is able to control all His creatures by His win, so man was able to direct and control the animal creation by the sheer force or power of his will When man, because of dis6bedience, fell from the state of per lection enjoyed in the Garden of Eden, he began to iSse these powers which he formerly exercised, until now after six thousand years of mental, neral and physical decline. he is no longer able te dominate the animal creation by his will power. except in rare instances. The promise is that during the Times of Restitution" God will give Sack te the race that which was lost by Adams disobedience and recovered for them by Christ.-Acts ii, 1e-2t,

AN EXCITING RUMoR.

No one in Boston or elsewhere had thought that the Ancient and Honor able Artillery company of that town needed a new uniform.
 No one in New England has once thought that any attempt to make an ancient company appear more modern would be an Improvement. It doubt less would stir Connecticut if the Put nam Phalanx should announce that they were going to tog up a little. It is when the bloom is on the plum that it looks most attractive.
 This is what the Boston Post has to say of the report that the Ancients and Honorables are contemplating having a new uniform:
 Dame Rumor sal1ies forth from the grim arsenal in the top of Faneuil hal and reports that the men of the An cient and Honorable Artillery com pany are likely to have a new uniform consisting of 8 shaker hat, tarbucket bell style, seven inches high, with g plume on top, a dark blue cutaway coat with vest and trousers of pear gray, with a red double stripe down the sides of the trousers.
 Paint the lily? Gild the rose? Are not our Acients beautiful enough al- ready in the glorious miscellany ot their garb without attempting to trick them out in the dress of the Mexican war? Perhaps as a fatigue uniform it might do. but never for active service on the Common or in the banquet hail."
