The old woman narrated to Mrs. Grant the misfortunes that had lately attended a ward of hers, a young woman "who had married a drunkard and who had just been deserted, thought she was penniless and had two little children. 'I couldn't help but feel for her this morning when she told me about her trouble." said the old woman. . "It was well that you felt for her," said Mrs. Grant. "But did you feel in the right place?

Spectacles in Germany. j The German Emperor nas entered upon a new phase of his development, If we are to believe the statement that he was lately seen reading newspapers in a railway train with the help of a pince-nez. Nor is this to be wondered at when we remember the lament, once made by the kaiser him self, who, speaking of his school dyj at Cassel, remarked that out of a class of twenty "no fewer than eighteen of his fellow pupils twore spectacles, while two of these, with their glasses on, could not even see the lengthjof the table." As compared with other nations, the Germans may be describ ed as a spectacle-wearing people, and there can be no doubt that the main cause of their defective sight is ih peculiar character of their type, which is most trying to the oyes. The' pres ent emperor, no less than Bismarck, has always protested , on patriotic grounds against the substitution j oi the Roman for the Teutonic,, or black letter, character in print, and both ' have had .to suffer equally for their Chauvinism.
