"Did you ever see each a pack of awful ragamuffins, awful ragamuffins?" was Sir, Charles' reply. That is his opinion ot the Liberals -"awful ragamuffins." There was nothing of a personal nature said against Sir Charles, the ,Elder, on that afternoon. Even Cartwright called down no maledictions on the head of the old gentleman. But Sir Charles, the Younger, saw in this very mild debate nothing but a mean spirited desire to assail a Ivan who, in the opinion ofbis friends, has done much for Canada. Decide to Do Nothing.

However. my entertainers were most hospitable and their usual frugal lunch- eon of oeke, wine and fruit was evidently supplemented by more sujlstantial viands for my benefit. After luncheon I was asked if I would like to take a nap. As 1 )ad just arrived, I assured my hosts that I never slept in the daytime, and proceeded to make myself as agreeable as Possible. My entertainers endeavored to be cheerful, but there was something in the atmosphere that made me aware that I had committed a solecism—and that I had guessed rightly was very apparent in the relieved looks of the family when I said that I thought I did feel tired and would be glad to repose myself a little. I was immediately conducted to an apart- ment which had evidently been arranged with the expectation that I would go regularly to bed, and, wishing me a good rest, the lady and gentleman of the house left mo for the whole afternoon.

The Wolf and the Iamb. A wolf, meeting with a lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on: biln, but to find some plea which should justify to the lamb hiiuself his right to eat him. He then addressed hies: "Strolls, last year you called no a dampbooll" The lamb then bleated piti- fully and exclaimed: "Indeed I was not born last year: I alp an honest injun: spring lamb." The wolf then said: "You would have called me a damphool if you had. been born!" "No, good sir," replied the lamb, "I always go to Sunday school." The wolf laughed and exclaim- ed: "Well, if I let you go now you will be sure til call me a damphool," so he seized the lamb anti dined 'heartily, With. out green peas or hint sauce, • Moral—Anyone w al—An one who Will stand and argue with a hungry wolf, Instead of calling the police and matin a. bee -line for the nest county, has a bad case of brain fever,—Truth, , How to Float a Lighted Candle. A very pretty effect may be produced by causing a candle to burn while almost immersed in water in a tumbler. The experiment is very simple Insert a nail -not too heavy—in the lower end of a short caudle in order to make thee end heavier, and place the whole in a glass cnntaining enough water to reach theupper end of the candle without wetting the wick. At first thought nothing seems stranger than to expect a candle to be entirely consumed in such a situation; but it is simple enough, As the candle burns it grows lighter and lighter, and rises gradually as it diminishes in length, so that the lighted end always remains above the surface of the water. Moreover, the outside of the candle, being cooler, will melt muoh more slow- ly than usual, and the flame will make a little hollow in the center. This hollow place also helps in making the dandle float, and preserves the wink from contact with the water. Thus the Dandle will continue to burn in its strange candle- stick until the wick is entirelyoonsumed. CAN'T SWEEP OFF THE NICKEL A Simple Little Trick Now Amusing. Kansas City Society. A lawyer who has an office in the New York Life building was at a party the other night whore the principal divertise- Inent was tricks, one of which recalled to the lawyer's mind one he used to do when he was a schoolboy bank in Maine. He calla.; for It whisk broom and then, lay- ing a nickel in the center of his open palm, offered it to anyone in the party who would sweep it off with the broom, One of the conditions was that the broom must he held straight up and the coin swept with the ends of the broom straws. "Oh, I can do that," said a young woman, and she took the broom and began to sweep at the coin. The harder she swept the tighter the coin stuck to the open palm of the lawyer's hand, Ono after another, each person at the party tried to sweep off the coin and it was an astonishing thing that the broom would not budge it. Since then the trick has spread, and at nearly every party some ono shows the whisk broom and nickel trick,` and it causes no end of wonder and amusement. Any kind of small coin and any kind of whist: broom are all that are needed to show the trick.—Kansas City,Star. Stilts, I wonder if the boys who love to walk about on stilts, know how necessary they are in some places in France, in the southwest part of that country ere large plains called the Landes, which are often Hooded in parts with water. In crossing these plains, where the water is not gen. erally deep enough for boats, high stilts are worn most of the time by both men and women, who thus are able to keep their feet dry. They are not held by the hands like the stilts used by boys, but are firmly strapped to the side of the leg, and the person wearing them carries a long pole in his hand, to balance himself and to aid him in walking. This pole usually has a Dross piece on the upper end, like the . head of a crotch, and by putting itat a slant on the ground behind him, the person on stilts can sit down on it and rest, looking in ch like a tripodon ' o 'tion inn a the si P. P three-legged stool, Men and women may often be soon in that country perched in this way upon high stilts, and knitting, while they watch their sheep. They wear their stilts all day long, putting them on when they, go out in the morning, and taking them off only when they,; return home at night. So used are they to them that they., can travel long distahces on them without getting tired; and as they are able to take very long steps, they can go much falter than a roan on loot. -Ex. hatis Castoria is Dr. Onanzuel Pitsb tr'S prescription for Infants i' ic1 Chi1drane It eolatci:vs nether Opium, Morphine nor. other'' Z.arcotie ;.alast0I.CC.

GOLDEN LOCKS, fall of the year in following up the trade. 'I attended one such sale when visit- ing in France lately. The girls Dome up to be sheared just as they would to ped- dle cabbage, each one's hair hanging down her back. By the side of every shearer was,a long basket into which was thrown every successive crop of hair, tied up in a sheaf by itself. The women. wear close caps, shorn or unshorn. so there is not much lost or gained in their personal appearance. "The tnost beauitful hair, the long, silky, curly tints of a rare color, go gen- erally into theatrical wigs. Miss Behan, by the way, is said to possess the finest collection of wigs in this country. "Curly hair has a high value of its own as no way has been found to treat it so :that it will stay curled. A fortune waits for the man that can do it. And Yet it is only twenty years or more since dealings in naturally curly hair developed as a special feature of the trade. This evolution had the curious effect of bring- ing continental Jews into the hair -grow- ing business. They are the only people who can be looked to with any confidence to su 'lly the market. They Bring High Prices in the Hair Market. • Though women do not at present up- holster their heads with locks that ob- viously grew somewhere else, hair is still an important feature of commerce. In fact one of the great New York importers says that the trade is as large now as it ever was. "I suppose it is due to the growth of the country, said he, "and the extension of fashionable luxuries into the byways and hedges, but on the whole our busi- ness is as valuable now as when the women wore chignons. The theatrical world is bigger than it used to be, and after all they are the great hair•buyers: "New York imports four or five tons of hair annually, and London twice that amount. English women have never own hair for adorn- menttheirdependedupon as Americans do. They have finer suits generally, but like to see the head overloadlcl with puffs, braids,'buns, etc. "The big hair crops come from Ger- matey and Frame.

"Black hair is fashionable' just now, but tho•'e are certain golden tints that al- ways bring the highest price;; for example,, certain suedes of fi lit hair that fetch as much as a dollar an ounce. The peasant women of Brittany and Southern ,France . supply most of the cleric hair in the market, and: from one to .five' francs is paid per head.

A good many yea's ago, when church organs were regarded with - disfavor by many pious and intelligent people, it was proposed to introduce one of these dangerous inventions into a New England meeting house, one of the pillars of which was an old man of Quaker blood. He was one of the most violent op- ponents to the plan when it was first proposed; in fact he expressed his views so strongly that the person who was collecting money for the organ when it was at last decided to have it, did not venture to pall upon the old Quaker for any subscription. He met him on the street one day, however, and was agreeably surprised when the old man took out a substan- tial looking wallet and presented him. with a most generous sum to add to his collection. tiV hy," stamtnered the young man, "I—I am greatly obliged, sir, but Y hardly thought you would care to be asked to contribute."
