Neiahborliness Pays.

Get acquainted with your neighbor; you might like him." This, from the letterhead of western village improve ment association, is excellent advice. What fine things a large personal ac- quaintance can do for us, provided We are worthy of 1t! Let us put aside any petty dislike, engendered perhaps by .fancied faults in other people, and go out and shake hands with neigh bors whom we probably have never really known. Let us talk over our common problems with them; discuss the welfare of our community, the state, the nation, so that we may all have q better understanding of our common hopes and aims. All this pays. Its returns come not alone in the help we can be one to the other, but in the greater discernment with which our personal business can be conduct ed, and in the better feeling and prog ress that follows in a town or city wtere all are working for the common good.-Countryside Magazine.

Staue Frluht.

Stage fright, if may encourage star- tied readers, does not appear to have affected William Cobbett, whose maid en speech in the house of commons must have been one of the most aston ishing performances that even that seasoned assembly had ever listened to. Here is the opening sentence: "It ap- pears to me that since have been sit ting here have heard a great deal of vain and improbable talk" By way of contrast, we have the case of Gib- son Craig, whose abortive eloquence, on his introduction to parliamentary life, was thus described by Disraeli: "Gibson Craig, of whom the Whigs had hopes, rose, stared like a stuck pig and said nothing. His friends cheered, he stammered. All cheered; then there was q dead and awful pause, and then he sat down, and that was his per formance. Spectator.

The Dlpper.

That beautiful constellation, the Dipper, hangs, silent and solitary, amid the northern star lighted frma- ment, like a veritable sky dipper in- deed, or a sky blow driven around and around Polaris, the north star. As we all know, the dipper's pointers" |" Merak and Dubhe, indicate pretty ac- curately the whereabouts of the north star. There are five other stars in the Dipper. They are respectively in or der from the end of the handle Bene6- nasch, NGisar, AlIoth, Megres and Phe- coa. ~ Here in the United States we speak of this collection of stars as the Dipper, while abroad 1t is known as La Grande Curse, Der Crosse Baer, Orsa Maggiore, and among the ancient Egyptians, who were not acquainted with the bear, 1t was known as the Hippopotamus.-New York Times.

A Remarkable island.

White island, which lies in the Bay of Plenty, of the coast of New Zea- land, derives It's name from the clouds of white steam in which It appears to be continually enveloped Its area Is only 600 acres and its height about 800 feet above sea levei. The water of the island Is of a pale green hue, and any thing dipped into 1t becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perccptible. Covering an area of fifty acres of one of the lakes on the island Is an immense caldron hissing and snorting and send. ing forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to be denied by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.

Among the famous lost mines of the western world and one which Is again being sought Is the Tisingall of Costa Rica.
