' A crumpled sheet of coarse paper, which :seemed to have dropped from .ffatl's hand, was lying on the floor betide him. The king picked it up, and these were the Ent wards that caught his eye, written in the shaky, straggling hand of a very feeble old woman: "I thank you much, my dear child, for the money tbat you bine ao kindly sent me, which has been a great help.

Perhaps' the memory of his own mother, dead years ago, rose up in his mind once more; perhaps he was touched by the old woman's prayer for him- aelf, or by the dismovery that this had been the boy's last thought befere he fell asleep. "Were all my subjects like that," he murmured, "1 should be the luckiest king in Europe. And so he has been saving money from his wages (and poor enough wages they are, I am sure) to send to his mother, Well done, my boy; thou'rt a true Freesia° 1" At that moment Karl moved slightly, as 11 about to wake. The king noticed it, and a new idea ap- appeared to strike him, which must have been a droll one, judging from the momen• tent twinkle that lighted up his stern eyes. "Yea, that will be the best way," said he to himself, "and a fine 'surprise it will be to him.' Stepping back into the room *hence he had hatred (which certainly had very little "royal luxury" about it, for it was almost as bare as a cattleshed, with no furniture save a ,battered old deal table and a broken chair), Frederick hunted in the table drawer till he rummaged out a well worn writing -case, from one of the pockets of which he took three gold coins. ' These he slipped into the page's pocket along with the letter, taking great oars not to awake him in doing so. Then he rang hie bell violently and called out: "Karl, come here 1" The :there., stern voice effectually routed our hero, who started up at once, and drew back in dismay as he saw Frederick's keen eyes fixed upon him, "Pardon, your majesty, pardon 1" stam- mered he.

I and point* an instructive moral as to the censequenoes upon the character of women of this denial of liberty, education, and re- sponsibility. The harem life of oriental ladies of high rank is dell and vecterne to the last degree. They play with their jaw - els, eat sweetmeats, and emeke Ripen, and thus their day passes. If their oheldren are all they are hopelessly bewildered and utter- ly unable to take care of them. They cling with touching reverence to any average English or American woman who may hap- pen to visit them and implore her aid in do- ing the simplest kind of nursing and moth- ering for the ailing children. Nothing as- tonishes orientate more than the position of women in England. A Chinese mandarin has lately published, his views on this sub - jean Women,he saya are even helped at meals before men, 14. his country the men eat first, Efala when they have quite finished, if anything is left, the, women are Allowed to have it, Another eastern, Seri Ahmed Khan, was amazed to find that the servant - girl who waited upon him in lodgings in London could read and write; and he record- ed his deliberate opinion that the little scrub in a London lodging, "oompelle4 to work as maidaervant for her living," was in real- ity superior in nearly all reapeots to Indian ladies of the highest rank.

He has been fished out of the muddy, at:jokey water at Clark street bridge once, baying thrown hiroeelf over the rail. When brought to terra firma he could not explain why he had jnmped over. "The desire took possession of me and I did it ; that'a all," said he, when questioned about it. " I had jumped about a foot when I Wished from the 'bottom of my -heart that I hadn't," he continued, "and now, to avoid 4 repetition of that act, I alwaye take to the middle Of the road when crossing the bridges."
