The Circus Babies.
An Englishman by the name of John

one tuskless, deoadent elephant, a couple

auspicious morning the lioness presented
the show with four cubs --an unusually
large number—and the fortune of the oir-

The Education of Marie Antoinette.
Miss Anna L. Bicknell contributes to
The Century an article on"lierie Antoi-
nette as Dauphine," which contains moth
new matter drawn from the state papers
at Vienna. Miss Bicknell says:
Marie Antoinette josephe Jeanne of
Hapsburg -Lorraine, archduchess of Awe
tale and future queen of France, was born
on Nov. 2 (feast of All Souls), 1755 ---the
day after the terrible catastrophe at Lis-
bon, when that city was nearly destroyed
by an earthquake, Maria Theresa's daugh-
ter was taught the correct pronunciation
of Frenoh by two actors of the Theatre
Francais, while the French Abbe de Ver -
mond was appointed to direct her educa-
tion, which, however, was unhappily very
incomplete. The writers who glorify the
maternal care and vigilance of Maria
Theresa are contradicted by the most trust
worthy witnesses, the truth seeming to be
that the great empress, engrossed by her
political cares, left her children far too
completely to the discretion ofgovernesses
and subordinates, who were neither very
capable nor perhaps very conscientious.
Drawings were shown to the empress as
the work of Marie Antoinette which the
latter afterward declared she had never
touched, and this "make believe" system
seems to have been carried on throughout.
The Abbe de Vermond direod only her
French studies, but although a good and
well meaning man, the,results which he
obtained were far from creditable to his
efforts. He does not seem to have had the
art either of interesting her in any serious
pursuit or of acquiring proper control
over her mind and character. Her hand-
writing even, as proved by autographs,
was utterly unformed and childish at the
time of her arrival at the court of France,
and her spelling was defective.

A Curious Superstition.
Among the superstitions of the Seneca
Indians was this most beautiful one:
When a young maiden died, they impris-
oned a young bird until it first began to
try its powers of song, and then, loading
It with caresses and messages, they loosed
its bonds over her grave, in the belief that
it would not fold its wing nor close its eye

London, Jan. 17.—Tomporarily over-

on the Upper Nile are again becoming
unpleasantly prominent to those who
imagined that Great Britainhad undis-
puted claims upon those regions. It is
immaterial to dismiss the exact where-
abouts of the French expeditions. It
suffices that, according to the balk of the
evidence, they have penetrated to Bahr-
EIGhazel, the most fertile province of
the Egyptian Soudan, with the distinct
mandate of their Government If this is
true, and the declarations of successive
British Cabinets mean anything, M.
Hanotaux, the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has brought about a casus bent
Thus far, M. Hanotaux seems to have
the advantage, but the game is dangerous.

Great Britain from recovering the whole

any French expeditions which may be

Marquis of Salisbury, the proper time

ish is due to the Egyptian intelligence

Toronto, Jan. 17.—George Wilson, a

7. ',Blessed are the merciful, for they
shall obtain mercy," Part of His name is
the Lord, the Lard God, inerelful and
gracious (Ex. xxxlv, 6). He delights to
exercise mercy or loving kindness (ler.
23, 24), and the earth shall yet be tilled
with it, but now He longs to fbad those
who will be the bearers of it to others.
Wherever any one is willing to show many
to others, they shall obtain freely an
abundance of it to pass on. It is a great
mistake to desire anything just for ono's
own use, Our Lord never lived unto Him-
self, but having all things in Him, if We
are willing to be channels of blessing to
others Hewill seetbat the channel is filled.
8. "Blessed aro the pure in heart, for
they shall see God." He alone was truly
puro in heart, and He was God. When we
see Him, we see God. Some day we shall
see Him and be like Him, even as to our
bodies (1 John ill, 2; Phil. iii, 21). Now
we are to behold Him in the glass of His
word (II Cor. iii, 18), and in proportion
as we do we shall be changed into His
image, so that others seeing Him in us
shall want to know Him.
9. "Blessed. are the peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of God."
As God is the God of Peace and. the Lord
Jesus the Prince of Peace, we are acting
very much like children of God when we
carry peace everywhere. When the king-
dom comes, there will be peace on earth,
war no more. As those to whom the king-
dom belongs We axe to carry samples of it
in our daily life—love, joy, peace for all.
We are chilrlisn of God by faith in Christ
Janus (Gal. bit, 26), and there is no °thex
way to become a child of God. But being
such we are to manifest it and yield. so
fully to God that He may do all He desires
to through us to carry peace through
Christ CO all people.
10. "Blessed are they which are perse-
cuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven," The world will
not tolerate this kind of life any morethan
It tolerated John the Baptist or the Lord
jesus. In the eyes of the world, even the
religious world, this life of the kingdom
with its lowliness, sorrow for sin, meek-
ness, righteousness, mercy, purity and
peace, is simply ridiculous, fanatical, not
fit for the times; may do well enough for
old people and little children, but men
and Women who are men and women in-
deed (in their own estimation) will not
put up with it, or even suffer it to be
taught if they can help it
