A Smart Rapiy.

No sooner were the men standing at
care than the sergeant began to com¬
plain of their attitudes, and wound up
by saying: “Why, you fellows are like
a lot of dummies, I can get smarter
soldiers than you at a shilling per box.”
Alter about a minute’s hesitation oUe
of tb< recruits remarked: “I suppose
there would be sergeants among
them?”—Answers.

The Times of India declares that tea
drilling: is the curse of Thibet. The
people, it says, have such an insatia¬
ble craving for the beverage that they
will sell their houses, their flocks, their
very children, to procure it. If ever an
apostle appears in Thibet to regenerate
the nation he will have to preach a
crusade in favor of whiskey drinking
in cruer to wean the inhabitants from
the national vice."

“Ho that dospiseth his neighbor sinueth.’
Prov, xiv., 21.
There is a great deal of sin in the world
which tho ordinary conscience neither
recognizes nor condemns. With most of
us the stuudard of right and wrong is
purely conventional. If wo do not break
the letter of the Ten Commandments; if
we keep clear of acts which public opinion
forbids; if we maintain a character upon
which society sets no brand, then we feel
at peace within ourselves and make sure
that we are God’s elect.
W e do not see what subtle and Car-reacU
lag things good and evil are—how they in
tenvenve themselves into all our acts, our
words and motives, and secret thoughts
even; and how they depend, not upon the
fashion of the. hour or the place, but upon
eteruai and unchangeable principles. An
enlight ened and sensitive conscience would
see sin in u thousand things which pass
with the majority as indifferent, if nice not
actually praiseworthy. It is not in
points pf religious observance that places
our moral character above suspicion half

LITTLE BOY SAVES THREE,

Through the heroism of Jimmie Quick, little a
lad of ten years, the lives of three
boys, ranging from five to nine years old,
were saved from drowning in Underhill
Pond, in Hudson, N. Y.
Tlie ice gave way while the isds were
riding on hand sleds, and they all fell in
the water.
Young Quick, who hud been skating hurried near¬
by, hoard their cries for help and
to the spot. He threw hirhself upon his
breast, and crawling to the edge of tho
hole, with a “shinny stick,” succeeded in
pulling the three lads, one after the other,
out of the water to a place of safety.

Clemente Markham, who desc.vibes how
Daron Nordenskiold reasoned out the
poasibillty of finding fresh water by
boring strong hard crystaline rock.
Baron Nordenskiold’s idea was that
by boring through the granite rocks
he would strike water bearing fissures.
He therefore selecled tho rocky islets

pilot, and light stations, and complet

conitninglinK AMth the sweet water ly«
i»>K in the fissures. In the same num
lier of the Geographical Journal there
is nn article by M. K. A. Martel on
“Itritish Caves aud Speleology.” M.
Martel describes a descent into caves
near Enniskillen, as well as other de
scents in Ireland, and also describes
what lie saw of underground rivers
ami lakes in Derbyshire and in York
shire. In the case of the Irish caves
be says .heir flow.ng waters mus
have an outlet under the sea, as there
is no other way to account for the
phenomenon. We refer to these mat
tors, as they interest cable engineers,
and hear upon a paper read before the
Institution of Electrical Engineers
during the last session by Mr. Benest.
In this paper it was stated that it was
believed bv some engineers that sub
marine telegraph cables when laid on
a continental slope, and In a direction
more or less parallel to (he coast line,
were liable to interruption from tho
effects of an outburst of subterranean
water on these slopes even in deep
water. Deductions from the evidence
furnished by Baron Nordenskiold and
M. Martel seem to increase tlie belief

Monkeys as tioia Mncters.
Capt. E. Moss of the Transvaal tells
the following story of the monkeys
who work for him in the mines:
“I have 31 monkeys.” said he, “em¬
ployed about my mines. They do the
work of seven able-bodied men. In
many instances they lend valuable aid
where a man is useless. They gather
up the small pieces of quartz that
would be passed unnoticed by the
workingmen, and pile t..em up in lit¬
tle heaps tnat can easily be gathered
up in a shovel and thrown into a mill.
They work just as they please, some¬
times going down into the mines when
they have cleared up all the debris on
the outsides. They live and work to¬
gether without quarreling any more
than men do. They are quite method¬
ical in the.,* habits, and go to work
and finish up in the same manner as
human beings would do under similar
circumstances. It is very interesting
to watch them at their labor, and see

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
For six years past my Cotton tins stood at tho
front as the earliest and most, productive
Cot ton grown in this country. My claims are
not idle boasts, but every statement I make is
backed by Official State Reports from various
State Everyone Experiment farms. that fair
must know the tests are
and absolutely impartial, and they show beyond
any doubt that under same conditions of soil,
climate and cultivation, my King’s improved
Cotton will make an average of 04 per cent,
more than the other improved Cottons. What
does this mean?
ANSWER.
Where you now make live bales of Colton, by
planting my seed you will mako from sever to
ten hales—hence tlie two to five Viale’u are extra
money, at no extra expense, save the cost of a
few seeds.
You don’t believe what you see in print?
Common sense should tell you that what I state
here are plain facts,because 1 simply re-state
that whh h has been sent out by officials, who
had no axe to grind, and who did not know mo
personally. Enough seed plant will cost only
to acre you a
little aud surely the money will be well spent
