of a new way she had discovered for
liiiiling out whether you were going lo

WOMAN'S TRUE KINDLINESS.
It Is More Natural wtlli Her Than with
Alan.
Among all nations, women arc ever
inclined to bo cheerful and modest.
They do not hesitate, liko man, to per
forin a hospitable or generous action ;
not haughty, nor arrogant, nor super
cilious, but full of courtesy and affec
tion; Industrious, economical, Inge
nious; more virtuous, nnd performing
more good actions than man. I never
addressed uiysitlf In tho language of
decency and friendship to a wonum,
whether civilized or savage, without
receiving a decent and friendly answer.
In wandering over the burren plains
of inhospitable lcntnnrk, through
houest Sweden, frozeu Lapland, rudo
nml churlish Finland, unprincipled
Uussla and the wldusprend regions of
tho wondering lartur, if hungry, dry,
cold, wet, or sick, woman hus ever been
friendly to mc, aud uniformly bo; and,
to add to lids virtue, bo worthy tho ap
pellation of iH'iievolcnco, these actions
huvo been performed In so free and
kind a manner that, If I was dry, I
drunk tho sweet draught, nnd if
hungry, ate tho course morsel with a
double relish.
rnrelirners' Ideas ol America.
The magnitude of this country is not
adequately appreciated by a great per
centage of Europeans. Kspecially has
this been true In the past. An English
novel of n few years ago described the
irlorles of the liockiesnsscen iroin ivow
Orleans, "I met a (ieriuun Brussels,"
said 1111 iii'iiittilntiiuco of tho writer,
"who beeiiine much interested in mo
whtsn he learned that 1 was an Ameri
can, and nil on account nf a friend he
had In the I'nlted States. 'Do you
know hi nr.1' ho asked, 'his name la
Henry Wulter.' Tho name is not as
common as John Ijnilth, nnd I did know
llonry Walter, 'Where does your
friend live?' I asked, 'In rlttsbtirgh,'
ho replied. The Walter chanced to be
the same, Hut what a remarkable oo
ourrenccl That German must have re
maincd with very insular Ideas ot the
area of this country. Ho probably
regards It as about the size of Htatoo
Island, or eosslblv. Uohenzollent.

The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word "minus." The word was
first contracted into inns, with a hori

Next he loves his lireuvm. This, poetical

LOOK BEFORE YOU DRINK.
One Woman llliln't nnd Was Sorry for
Her Nesllgence.
"liook before you leap," nnd also be
fore you eat or drink, is n good motto
to remember. It Is wonderful how peo
ple will rise In tho night, lay hold of a
buttle In the dark, aud qua ff the con
tents, too often to realize by taste or
feeling that they have swallowed
carbolic acid or Home other deadly
draught.
A lady had an experience tho other
night which will teach her to light the
gns before she partakes of refreshment
in the night. She had a brown stone
bottle of Imported sclt.er water loft in
the bathroom In ease of feeling thirsty.
One night she arose, fumbled about,
found tho bottle, w hich she knew by
its shnpe, and the fact that It wns not
gluss, turned out a goblet ful, got a
mouthful of something so nauseous
that the goblet fell from her hand, Its
contents saturating her night dress,
After a good deal of spluttering nnd
some delnv sho struck a ngnt near 1110
wash bnsln, over which hung a mirror;
o sho suw herself, nnd gave a shriek
which roused tho house ns sho did so,
Anit no wonder her face, teeth, hands,
feet and garments were covered with
Ink.

A few weeks airo the Huston Tran

by the Massachusetts Humane society
to a girl of seven in T.ynn who had
saved from drownin.T another lass of
the same age. Notable as the action

incidents tire common, though they
have not always commanded ree igni

Almut a year ago some boys vtr;
playing on the railroad when an .
press train came along. The whist !o
was sounded, and till but one little
fellow got off in ample time, the one
left being but three years old, mid
of course unable to appreciate his
danger. One of the lads, tell vears old.
jumped for his companion and pulled
him away just as the pilot of the en
gine brushed against his clothing.
Tlie engineer said: "When I saw the
bigger boy jinny f. ir the smaller one I
thought that there would l.e two killed
outright instead of one."
( In 11 recent winter diiyuhoycif six
fell through the ice. and another boy,
aged ten, catching him by the collar,
tried to pull him out. but he wns not
strong enough, so he called foranother
boy, a lad of but eight years, and with
his help they saved tin Ir companion.
They were all in 11 peculiarly perilous
position, and the wonder is that any of
tlie three escaped alive, yet with the
InditVi fence to danger characteristic of
most boys when their sympathies are
aroused, they spoke of the venture as
though there were nothing remark
able about it.
AN ODD WILL.
Its
l.nrircit lldiucut til the Heir V. hn
SI11111I1I Hull' the Must ( hllilri n.
The eccentric testator in Lord I.yt
1 1 m's "Money" certainly did not play iv
more cruel trlcU upon his expectant
relatives than a I'ulish limited proprie
tor liiiined .iilesky, who died in March,
Issii, in tlie province of Tanriilii, snys
the London liuily News. This mnn
left 11 will In 11 sealed packet, marked:
"To be opened lifter my death." When
the envelope was torn oil', another one
was found nndcrncuth, with tlie words:
"To be opened six weeks after the lirst
envelope has been opened." At the
end of the six weeks it was found there
wits II third envelope, with tlie Inscrip
tion: "To Is1 opened in 11 veur."
After waiting impatiently foranother
twelve months the relatives found yet
another envelope, which said: "To bo
opened in two years." Finally the will
was opened, when it was found that
tlio testator bequeathed one hundred
thousand roubles, or one-half of his
fortune, to that person among his rela
tives who should be proved to have the
largest number of children. The other
half was to be invested for a hundred
years, nt the end of which time it was
to be divided, together with this inter
est, among his descendants.
It is not to he wondered tit that this
will has become the subject of a law
suit, tlie faintly, with one exception,
declaring tlio '.cstutor to have been of
unsound mind.

An old hunter said the other day that
when lie lirst went up into Michigan
mid Wisconsin where wild leeks
abound, he was surprised to iind lying
at the side nf his plalo at the table 11
piece of leek about three or four inches
long, lie did not umlerstanu wny
was placed there until he tried the but
ter, which he found to lie almost tntol
ernble from the taste of leeks, lie then
followed the example of tho others and
nto tho leek, when he found the butter
instantly transferred into just us tie
Unions butter ns he ever tasted. The
leeks grow up through tho snow, nnd
are tho lirst green thing to bo found in
tho tlelds nnd along the stremus, and
tho cows cat. them with n relish; with
Iho result that the butter iniido from
their milk is strongly scented, nnd the
disagreeable tiisto can ouly bo re
moved bv lerhting it with its own
weapon, and so looks are provided for

Itotiiny lessons were begun In tlio
primary class. The chart wits opened

the teacher, pointing with her stick,
"are the limes; these are tho branches,
and these are tho leaves, Katie, can
you tell me what this purl of the tree
Is culled?" The teacher was pointing
to tlio trunk, "Yes'iu," suid Katio,
