Time Wasted with Bad Spelling.
-tr. Gladstone has made elaborate investi-
gations in the schools of England and other
countries to ascertain the time devoted to
teaching spelling. He finds that 720 hours

Italian child of nine years will read and

extra time is given to civics and useful
sciences. The illiteracy of English-speaking
nations is startling, There were 5,658,144
persons of ten years and over who reported
themselves illiterate at our census of 1870,
6,239,958 at the census of 1880. The nearly

Tricks of the Chinese.
The smuggling of Chinese men and women
from British America into United States ter-
ritory is a very luerativb business at various
points along the border from Vancouver to
Winnipeg. If the venture fails at onaplacte
it is renewed at another, and sooner or later
the pilgrims get in. A new trick just dis-
covered at Whateom, Washington Territory,
has almost taken away the breath of the
Federal officials, for they kuow thee it must
have been very successful for a time. The
large number of squaws coming into the
country from British Columbia finally at-
tracted the attention of an official, and le
took e party of them th gaol. On close in -

not squaws at all, but able-bodied Chinamen

A tree, to be healthy requires hoth food and
fresh air at the root. When the ground is
barren a nourishing juiceo, or is pooked and
clammy, the tree shrinks and grows poor
and meagre.
The thoughts of a man are the roots of
his life. If ho does nob draw strength and
knowledge up with them, his life will grow
Jean and poor. Or if his thoughts are con-
fined to too narrow a circle, if they are not
aired by reading or travel, or content with
other minds, tee same effect will be pro-
duced. The whole Man will thrive!, and
his fruit of good deeds tell] be scanty.
A. tree, too, needs to be washed and kept
clean by the rain from Heaven, in trunk
and leaves, or it will not grow. The boy
whoso mind and heart are covered with the
dust of the world -the puerile, worth-
iest; cares and gossips of every day -and
never are washed clean by canteen with
great thoughts of God's goodness and power,
will dwindle into a petty, insignificent man.
The leeves, too, need sunshine, inlets as the
man needs cheerfulness and joy in hie life.
Neither tree nor boy will be healthy or
sound at the root if the surrounding atmos-
phere is always dark and murky. No tthe
can have its place taken by another while
it atilt lives. Neither can any man do an-
other ma's work or fill his place. Tom
may be a giant in body and intellect, and
Joe a dwarf. But Joe has his little worl to
speak and fruit to ripen, and no man can do
it for him. But when the work is done by
tree and man, and death comes to them,
God certainly and quickly fills the place of
both. A great oak sometimes falls in the
forest, and we are amazed to see how shal-
low and small was the hold of its roots in
the earth. . It is taken away and the grass
and .young saplings in a few days hide the
scar.
A great Man falls and the nation is shaken
to its center. But other men take up his
work and fill his place. The hardest lesson
for a man to learn is that while no one eau
do his work for God while he is here, it
will go on without him when he is gone.
