But ho was trust i worthy, plucky and industrious, an.l not ashamed to put his huud to hon est work The first job which the boy socured was that of sweeper at oce of the New York ferry-boat docks. lie swept tho ladies’ side aud tho highway for tho horses; and he swept every (lay, for eight mouths, without stopping. To this wo’k lie gave all bis time and attention. lie was never soon loafing anil ta'kiug with tbe deck hands, though ho always had a good word and asmi'e for everybody. This unusual tlevo lion to a nonorally coasidoiod igno ruiuious business attracted cous der able attention, nud one day William was approached by a police ofliew who was uccompauied by a very li ie looking man **l’ve boon telling this goatkma about you,” said the officer. •‘About me, sir?” said the lad, wit! gicat astonishment, aud iuslinc'ivo ly touching his lint. “Yes, I’ve had my oyo on you foe some tirno, was tho answer, “and as this goutleman asked mo to try ami find him a good lad for his stable I’ve brought him to yon." “Do you know anylhiug about the care of horses?” tho goulloman in quired. “Not a thing iu tho world, sir.” “Do you think you eouhl learn?" “I would be ashamed if 1 couldn’t sir.” was the courageous response. The new-comer took a card from his pocket, string as ho did so. “I will wait for you a week, but come as scon as yon can, I will gi\e you thirty dollars a month anti your board, if you suit mo, to begin with." That day’s sweepiug, William Gray will never forget, llo took as much paius as ever with every crack aud crevice, but his astouish mout uud gratitude were beyond do scriptiou. How could it be, bo ask ed himself, that so common a toiler and plodder should have been no ticed aud reeomtnoudod to a good place? Thirty dollars a month aud board wore, to the lad a small for tune. He was not then aware that thorough work inevitably tells its own story everywhere, and that in tegrity, industry and perseverance, by tho immutable laws of God, will win a way for the humblest of his creatures A few days later, William went to ItiB new place. For three weeks he was instructed iu his duties by a man hired for tbe purpose. At tbe end of that time.be was left with tbe care of a team of fine horses and a pony belonging to the ouly son of his employer. One evening, ns the owner drove into the stable, William inquired if he would kindly tell him where he could find some books about horses. • "I have some iu mv library,” tbe gentleman replied. “What do you think of doing?” "Why, you see, sir, I waut to find out u!l I cau about them. If a horse gets sick, it would be rather awk ward not to know what to do till we could got a doctor hero.” * “Yon are right, William,” was the appreciative answer. “1 will give you what you waut to night. T see you havo somo school-books here. I am afraid you don’t find much time to study.” “Oh, half an hour hero and ten minutes there tell, sir,” William re plied. “Then this is only play aftei the dock work I bail to do, And just think, the horses Know me; and everybody is so good to me it does seem just like home.” Aud so, day after day, the lad worked and studied. With a little help from his employer’s sou, he made rapid strides in arithmetic and grammar, while in geography bo was far in advance of his teaebor. The books relating to the special subject were eagerly read, aud at last the boy’s employer found that ho was not only learning hoiv to ta^e the best care of well horses and perfect ly treat sick ones, but ho was study ing their anatomy aud physiology, and iu this way educating himself to be an authority on the subject. Daring the progress of these stu dies, William was asked to give his .William Gray is iu «• cue of the hnm °H without, ns Francis Wilson has wealthiest and one of t ie most re- H, her , ‘ihoving a muscTo or wincing n spooled men in this g e it country, 1 ' vince an.l certainly no career • mid have andfSthe'fimtim? r inctflBhe turned - —uuw raised her eyelids, . . . . . , . more hum that disclosed a pair of sharp, honest, bio beginning.

They Make Mistakes. Tho father who tells his children to go one way while he walks anoth er makes a mistake. People who talk about their trou bles to strangers rnako a mistake. Peoplo who never read tho Bible make a mistake. , Tho man who thinks lie can get rich by doing wroDg makes a mis take. The parents who quarrel before their children make a mistake. The father who permits his boys to grow up iu idleness makes a mis take The mother who thinks her own children never do auythiug wrong makes a mistake. The minister who never preaches so that people find out they are sin- lets makes a mistake. The parents who aro not carelul about what tbeir childteu read make a mistake. The man who thinks the most im portant thing to do iu this world is to get rich makes a great, mistake. The man who gets behind a post u prayer meeting to keep from be ing called on to pray tnak- s a mis take Tho man who is always trying to liscover faults in other people audios a mistake. The woman who 3ays things about other people that she wouldn’t want havo said about ber makes a mis take. The man who never tries to be re gions, except wheu he thiuks ho is watched, makes a mistake. Tho young woman who does not mako a confidant of her mother makes a mistake.—Ex. ment, if you only know her outsillo her “cage." ‘‘Oil, no,” she said, "wo aro too busy for idlers, nnd always of necessity too deeply interested in our work to allow us to pass the ‘conversation lozengo.' “There aro thoso who fancy wo are hero only to look pretty and impriws tho gentleman guest with tho idea that ho has delayed for a whole week to send a telegram of utmost importance.” “This is not the ense, however, and tho man most likely to forget hhnae^f and bother us is not tho fellow who spends a quarter for an unnecessary tola- gram as an oiiener to conversation. We seo him, of course, occasionally, but his business generally amounts to inquiry as to tho location of tho jierfoctly visible hotel desk or of tho nearest postofflco or letter box. Wo make short work of him, and in u discreet way can force the blush on him tiiat sets him on his gen tlemanly feet again. “Others (hero aro, and thank goodness thpy form tho great majority that rules, whoso business is transacted promptly, politely and with an evident sense of the fact that they aro dealing with a lady.

Walter Bridges, Athens, Term., writos: For six years I had been nlllicted with run- . . „ . . - , ning sores and an enlargement of tbe bones opinion on the merits oD a horse in my leg.

The law, that is to say, fixes the maximum at these figures. Tho actual number, of course, is continually changing from deaths, enlistments, etc. While the people of two centuries ago won about a score of products from the under earth, wo make use of hundreds derived from tho pit aud mine.

For every hundred persons living west of tho Mississippi river who havo seen St. Peter's at Romo hardly ten, I think it may he safely said, havo visited tho Yosemito. Two small hotels in tho val ley are ample for all who may at any one time seek accommodations, nnd on au average l wo coaches u day during tho season will curry all who seek convey ance to that place of grandeur. Ono thing is certain, tho foreigner “doing” tho United States seldom omits tho Yosemito; yet many an American tourist traveling in California loaves tho coast in ignorance of tho wonders and beauties of tho famous region. On a beantiful Sunday in May, ont of sixty-five guests at tho Stoneman house over forty-five were foreigners, most of them on a trip around tho world; aud that projiortion is not unusual during tho season. To the foreign tourist tho Yosemito ranks with Niagara, and from thoso who havo seen tho wonders of nature on ovtry continent tho verdict seems to bo that tho Yosemito stands pre-eminent—tho greatest of all. —New England Magazine. Tho Wandering Jew. Calmet’s “History of the Bible” has this to say of the Wandering Jow: Ho was tho porter of Pontius Pilate, and was called Calaphilus. When tho mob was dragging Jesns to the judgment hall Calaphilus struck him, saying; “Go faster, Jesus! Go faster. Why do3t thou linger!" Jesus replied, "I ant in deed going; hut thou shalt tarry till I come.” Soon this man was converted and took tho name of Joseph. Ho is supposed to live forever, but every 100 years ho falls into a trance, upon awak ening from which ho finds liimsolf at tho same ago as when tho Saviour said theso words to him. Tho Wandering Jew is grave nnd stern, is never seen to smilo, and perfectly remembers the death und resurrection of Christ. No placo is his homo for more than a fovv hours, and thus does ho fulfill his title of “Wander ing Jow.”—Detroit Freo Press, Canada anil Newfoundland. When was tho Dominion of Canada constituted? Is not Newfoundland in it? Tho Dominion was formed in 1807, and is composed of tho provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward’s Island, Now Brunswick, Mani toba, British Columbia, with certaiu territories and arctic islands. New foundland was invited to come in by tho act of confederation, but sho holds aloof, and remains an indejK-ndent crown col ony.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Better Not Sigh. A chemical analysis of tho food cooked by our grandmothers, which men sigh for once in a while, would show it 35 per cent, more dangerous to tlie stom ach than food prepared in tho modern kitchen. As a matter of fact, American women know nothing of cookery up to tweuty-fivo years ago.—Detroit Free Press. AN ANCIENT FARM HOUSE, Whnt tho French lloatolrlcn Wore Uk« During tho Middle Ages. Tho housett of tho farmers and the count).-)- people differed then as now, ac cording to their rank and prosperity, and also according to tho district they inhabited. Tho yeoman fanner, nnd oven the well to do husbandman, dwelt in a solid honso of brick or stone, tiled or stated, with a paved yard separating it from tho barn and outhouses, tho dai ry nnd cattle jx-ns. Tho farm house— which in England was always construct ed with a son thorn aspect—as invariably faced tho east in Aquitaine, while to the rear well open to tho west was a long tiled veranda, where in winter after noons tho hemp picking, tho wool card ing. etc., were done. Within the vast kitchen glowed in tho light of tho fire—almost as unoxtinguish- ablo as the vestal virgin’s—peat, coal and wood were each abundantly employed, and for a trifling ront, generally paid in kind, tho lord of the manor would per mit tho farmers on his land to cut thoir turfs from his l>og nr their boughs from liis forest. Fuel was not only actually but relatively cheaper in tho middlo ages than today, for tho bogs were not drained in those days, the forest covered great expanses, and tho cost of com ago made it ulmost impossible to transjxjrt their produce. In almost ovory shire of Franco and England the supply of fuol was in excess of tho domnnd. This hospitable fire fiared up a chim ney proportioned to its size, lighting the huge brick oven, tho iron firedogs, tho bellows, shovel, gridiron, ladles, cal drons, saucepans, mortar, tin pails and other ntensils that stood on tho brackets of tho hoartli, and irradiating tho liraw and copper pots, tho metal candlesticks, tho lamp, tho lantern, tho not unfrequent silver Is-aker, and tho glass drinking cups that, were ranged on tho chests and cupboards round tho walls. Near this fire stood a high liockcd settle, tho mas ter’s corner, and under the great mantle of tho chimney narrower benches wore set fn tho brick. Within easy reach of tho hearth a deop oak chest hold tho logs for burning. It was generally matched liy a handsome wedding chest with carved or [minted front, long enough to contain u grown person full length, but more usually filled, it must Is) admitted,with tho best clothes, tho trinkets and tho savings of the house hold. Tho registers of tho chatelot record no crime so common ns tho breaking open of such wedding chests; and it is surpris ing how many clasps of jewels, girdles of pearls, golden headdresses nnd rings, and purses full of gold were stolon from finite humble households. Our fore- fathers invested their capital iu cu[* or trinkets of precious metal, pretty to look at, easy to hide, nnd readily con verted into cash whon necessity demand ed a sacrifice.—Fortnightly lioviow. A During Argument. A quick witted aud daring westorn lawyer onco saved a guilty client from sure conviction on a charge of poisoning. It was proved that tho poisoning had been dono by means of certain cakes, a P’rtion of which was produced in court. When tho counsel for the prisoner had finished his s[iocch, ho said: “And these, gentlemen of tho jury, are some of tho alleged poisoned cakes. We declare to you, gentlemen of tho jury, that they are not poisoned cakes. They aro as harmless cakes as over were mado, and in order, gentlemen of tho jury, to show yon that theso cakes are not poisoned, I will oat ouo of them right hero in your preseuco. ’’ And ho did eat one. Ho took good euro, however, to leave tho room at the earliest opportunity, and to mako u l>oo lino for an adjoining room, whore he had au emetic in readiness and an anti dote. But tho jury never heard about the emetic or tho antidote until the law yer’s client had been acquitted.—ban Francisco Argonaut. Our Hun a Star. Mont young folk# now know that the difference between night und day on this planot of ours arises simply from tho fact, that among tho innumerable multi tude of stars thoro is ono infinitely nearer to ns than all tho rest; being so much nearer to us that wheu wo see it we huvo day. Wheu by tho earth's movement on its axis tho sun has sot in the west wo havo night; at which timo we depend for light upon tlie more distant stars— unless, indeed, tho moon is sltiuing. In tho main, it is truo that the enor mous difference in tho intensity of the light that wo receive from tho sun in the ono case, and from all the stars seen at night in tho other, depends upon tho fact that tho sun is tho star nearest to us, and tho other stars are suns infinitely re moved.—J. Norman Lockyer in Youth's Companion. To Measure tho Sea Level. A now apparatus for measuring the moan lovol of tho sea has lately boon in stalled at Marseilles. It is based on the principle tiiat when a liquid wave trav erses a capillary tube or a porous parti tion, its amplitude diminishes and it is retarded in its phases without the mean level of tho wave clianging. It consists of a glass tube, tho lower end of which communicates by u flexible pipe with a plunger which is lowered beneath tho lowest water level.
