FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.

An Englishman in travelling through
Ceylon was the guest OF a dockyard
official at Trincomalle. The dinner
was excellent" he says, but when 1t
was about half over ! was startled by
hearing the wife of my host tell the
native servant to place a bowl OF
milk on a deerskin near her chair.
Although she spoke as calmly as
if giving an ordinary order, | knew at
once there was a snake somewhere
in the room, for they prefer milk to
anything else. AS hasty movement
might have meant death, we all sat
like statues; but, for all that, my
eyes were inspecting every nook and
corner with a peep under the table.
However, it was not until the milk
was placed on the deerskin that the
snake appeared And then, to our
amazement, a large cobra uncoiled
itself from the hostess ankle and
glided toward the bowl, when, of
course, it was Immediately killed.
But just fancy the nerve Of the
woman, though she tainted when the
thing lay dead on the floor. How

The civilized world knows little of
the famous ruby mines OF Mogok, in
a valley of Burma, whence come near
ly all the large rubies, for the road
lies through forest which is seldom
trod by whites. A few Englishmen
who live there have laid out a polo
ground, and between this and the
town are the mines. The diggings
are slowly eating up the village, and
the main street Is already half de-
stroyed. The work goes on all day
and all night, the bearing earth
being brought up In iron trolleys. A
few strangers who have called at the
mines have been told by the officials
that they can keep any ruby that
they may find, but no one has ever
been able to find one yet. The gems
are imbedded in the gold-colored
clay. which stretches along the
whole Of the valley. and II Is only
after the earth has been washed that
the rubies are seen on the tables.

A GREAT MAN.

d.
That man is great, and he alone.
Who serves a greatness not his own
For neither praise nor pelf;
Content to know, and be unknown;
Whole in himself.
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To those we'll ordered will belong, e.,
For service and delight,
All powers that in the face OF wrong
Establish Right.
And free is he, and only he.
Who, from his tyrant passions free,
By Fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself, to be
BY himself obeyed.
If such a man there be, whereer
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He cannot fare amiss,
Great Nature hath him In her care,
Her cause is his.
