A Good Sleenar.

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 he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his :najesty's sleep. The 6fug replied: Nothing disturbs ny 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 8 o'clock in the even- ing. For many hours I was quite overcome. but at midnight 1 went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrand's niece. in her mem OtrS

Tho Fitiai Chinaman,

Many examples of Chinese filial piety strike the occidental reader as ridicu- .ous. There is the famous story Of Lao Laitsu, which MT. R. k. Johnston repeats in his ''Lion and Dragon Ip Northern China" Laos parents lived 50 such extreme old age that he was himself a toothless old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiy ing 1t his duty to divert their atten don from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself sp in the clothes of child and played <oout in his parents presence with she object of making them think they were still young married couple con templating the innocent gambols ot their infant son."
 A similar case is that of Wang P'cu whose mother had an unconquerable dread of thunder and lightning. When she died she was buried in mountain forest. and thereafter, when a violent thunderstorm occurred. Wang P'ou, needless of the wind and rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees T am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say. "Do not be afraid"

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 do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron Finding a walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a 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 g charm.
 How did you do it?'' asked one oi the number, greatly surprised
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. "No trouble at all Just get ( piece of wood about the size and llind that you want and then whittle awa> all that you want whittled away When you have all the wood cut Of that you don't want you have a gun stock. k."-Kansas City Journal

 "Let the learning of the ages be add ed," came the order, and tons upon tons of the wisdom of sages. philoso phers. scientists and poets was heaped upon the pile. And still the great arm of the scales remained high in air.
