Sydney Smith's Jokes,
Sydney Smith was very happy in him

spirit of delight over comizon things.1
They loved animals and spent long houre
in training them. One little beast, a'
baby donkey, became under their tuition
perhaps the most accomplished Of hie
Specie: aud unconsolously gave rise to a
quatrula whigh now belongs to the fame
of a.ydney Smith. The donkey was a well
educated °hap. Re would 'walk upstairs,
fellow the family in their rembles Ake it
dog end when they entered his meadow
run to meat them with ore down and
tail erect, brtying joyously.
One day, when Dilly's head wag.

trained with a bainikerchief for it bridle,
Mr. Jeffrey uneepeetecily arrived. He
lathed in the sport and to zhe
White delight mounted Billy.

three friends, returned from a walk until

color, consist not in what a thing keeps,
but what it gives one. A well-known law
of optics teaches us that a tbing is seen,
not 10 the color which, it takes in and
keeps, but in that color which it gives
baok again. The tning that we call red
is the one which is, in one sense, blue;
that is, it takes in the blue eve and
keeps them for itself, but gives back the
red ones in color. God bas kent all the
green rays and gives baok the yellow
ones, so we think it is yellow. The object
mina we call black takes in everyray of
light and keeps them for itself, and we
bale) strikingly enough seen In it tbe
symbol of all evil. The object which We
call white keeps nothing of the Aim rays
but gives them all out again, and we
have seen in it the symbol of all good.
So a man is seen and known, not by
what he receives and keeps for himself,
but for what be gives forth to others.
The rich man viho keeps everything for
himself is seen and known to be a poor,
mean man. The wise man whey holds
haughtily his learning to himself Will, in
the judgment of men, be very apt to
seem a proud fool,

We went up to the Kiel Yacht Club to
SOS the presentation of prize's by His
Majesty. He was in particularly jolly
bunter, and his spec:Mies of presentation
were most happily spoken. One prize
winner, a little German officer, fully
realized the import:row of the occasion
and was the more easily embarrassed
when with cap in oue baud and award in
the other he stood ready to receive his
prize -a pair of large vases.
At the close of the Kaiser's speech he
handed the vases to the little officer, who
hurriedly put cap under one arm, sword
under the other and rucelved them,
whereupon tbe Kaiser insisted upon
ebairiug hands in congratulation, reueb
to the embarrassineut, chagrin and blies
of the winner and the shoutg of laughter
• from every one else, led by His Majesty.
The next winner was • given a liquor
sot and received orders not to dritikefrom
all 12 glasses alone -Outing.

Young pork is always best, as weal as
the most easily pi:ethical. Unless tbe
animal is 'wanted as a breeder It is not
temally kept until a year old. The breeds
than mature early will make more pork
at loss cost at six to eight months old
than will those that keep on growing two
or three years and attain very heavy
weights, But it is still better to keep tbe

of the small breeds that mature gerilest,
