" What shall we do next ?" is an inquiry often propounded by the average small child, who, unless it is an exceptional specimen, exhansts its ,Stock of amusements at least once in every twenty four hours. The inquiry very often proves a hard -to - solve problem to whoever has the child in olierge, for the supposed allurements, of dis- carded playthings are set forth in vain, and all saggestions tliat it is not yet tired of do- ing this, or should still want to do that, ere met with flat, en -whittle, encl not-to-be7ee- considered denials: 'Who hee not encountered; days when the- small oecupants of the nursery were leept prisoners Within its walls by such in- surmountable obstacles as pelting raiii or driving snow, slight illness. or tedious con- valesence, and all indoor amusements seem- ed, to haydest their charm, the best beloved toys beer ,oast Petulantly aside, and all tet - forts to etter the existing state of affairs proved ul qual to the exigencies of the ease? SO011 conibination of circumstances being of not infrequent occurrence in many house- holds where this paper makes its weekly visit, its readers may welcome a, few often. tried devices, whereby at such times peace and comfort for the elders and eontentment and pleasure for the children have been se- cured by very trifling outlay of time, trouble, and money. Children under seven. or eight years old need in their amusements a good deal of oversight and assistance from, older heads, and cannot get along without. It is one thing tb amuse chilclrea, and another to lead them to amuse themselves. The first makes a slave of whoever has them in charge, the latter Makes them plan and think for thein - selves, and secures for the mother or nurse time to devote to other things. Even small children usually possess oon- siderable ingenuity and inventive faculties, and, while they are not equal to the task of always finding amusements for themselves, will;•when given articles to play with, turn them to a much greater variety of use's than was thought of by their elders when they provided them. Very simple things will give pleasure and secure the desired quiet. Something 'which yields childrep as great an amount of satis- faction as anything that can be provided for them is empty spools. Not just a string of a dozen or so, such as is often provided -for the delectation of their more infantile days, but spools and spools and spools—spoolsof all sizes, and on such astounding plans that almost anything the small possessor's ambitious mind desires can be accomplished with them. . By saving all that are emptied of thread in the natural course of the family sewing and needlework and begging contributions from willing friends, the sui ply will soon amount up into the hundreds, and even a thousand spools can scam be collected. For a trifling consideration to pay for the trouble of saving them, one wise mother se- cured eight hundred spools from one large establishment, where dozens of sewing -ma- chines kbpt op a busy hum from morning till night:rTo'these were added -the supply already on hand, making a collection vary- ing in size from the tiny one which had held the very finest thread or buttonhole twist, to the large spools on which had been wound the coarsest linen thread. They are the acknowledged property of a small girl and boy, whose united ages do not exceed eight years, but they also furnish a vast amount of amusement for an older brother and sister, who would think it much beneath their dignity to ownthem_, and are always extremely careful to call them "the children's . spools" whenever they allude to them.

Some time ago there was published a de- tailed description of a scheme for piercing the Simplon, and thereby fo ming a new and direct railway route from Paris to Milan. That this prediction would in all probabil- ity have been fulfilled there is every reason to believe had it not been for rival schemes, each of which found a considerable number of supporters. Of these schemes the ones which attracted most notice, after the Simp- lon, were the Mount Blanc and Great St. Bernard routes. The Mont Blanc: tunnel scheme has drop- ped out of sight, for the time at least, but the St. Bernard and the Simplon still hold their ground. In fact, up to a short time ago, the Simplon might be said to have had the running all to itself, and a syndicate of financiers was actually formed to raise the necessary capital. Since then the St. Ber- nard idea, has been persistently forced upon public atteetion by its promoters, and °pin. ion as to the respective merits of each scheme may be said to be pretty equally balanced, though if anything inclining to the Simplon. Upott France, and France alone, depends the decision as to which of the two projected tunnels shall be made. If it were a mere question of commercial utility and probable remunerative returns the St. Bernard could not hold a candle to the Simplon; but the real question is which route would be most useful to France itt case of a great European war in which France might find Italy arrayed against her? This will be better understood by those who know how extremely jealous France is of the St. Gothard, this jealousy arising from the fact, or the supposition, that front a strategical point of view the St. Gothard gives more -advantages to Germany than to France. Whether this be true or not, it is beyond dispute that the route of the new Alpine tunnel will be determined in- Axis, for from France must come the subsidy requisite for the promoters to give practical effect to their scheme. By this Simplon route there would be a saving of 105 kilometres between Paris and Prindisi as compared with the St. Gothard, and as this may be said to represent nearly three hours in time, it is a strong point in favor of the Simplon. The cost of the tunnel and the additional lines necessitated by it will not fall short of 70,000,000 francs, and may even reach 80,000,000. In order to make the line remunerative the company would have to carry annually 280,000 pas- sengers, 240,000 tons of merchandise and *minerals, and 200,000 head of cattle. The projectors are not only sanguine of getting this amount of traffic'i but say that there s a stroug'Probability that the figures will be exceeded very largely. The Coming Man. What will he be? Will he be unlike you and mo? He will'probably be a good deal like his father and have inherited forces im- pelling him. His brain and heart will not materially change places or functions. He will hate and love, and have aspiration and faith like ordinary creatures. He will probably begin in profound ignorance like the rest of us, and when he is seventy years old he will learn that he has not learned all that there is to be 'learned. He may learn that life is without end. Looking down the vista of coming years, he may observe a modified religion, with idols greatly airnpli- fied, and with a more mild temper to know his Creator; but science is .purging the ' concrete and altars with the offerings of peace and good will to men are slowly being reared. Youthful ambition is beautiful and should be encouraged at the same time it should be gaided. Civilization is not perfect, and it has many sores. If we do not feel religion, it is no evidence that it does not exist. Re- ligion is a system of principles, as much as morals, and its shams and follies are no argu- ment against the genuine article. An out- grown religion exists only with such as desire it. Altars have beautiful offerings, but these'may rot always be in accord, with the noblestpart Of man. To be unlike anybody else is a laudable enough ambition, but ambition must not be allowed to run away with reason. If Herod beheaded Jelin, we must not behead the idea of moral responsibility. The modern prophet must correctly interpret natural .desires. , The losing side should have a generous heering. Slow old men and fast young men must continue to observe the good old ways of trust and soberness. Sound morality Must become the universal practice. The Sabbath is a natural clay of rest and should be Used wisely. Nature will be studied more and more. Reckless ?lemur() will decrease. Experience teaches a dear school, but the cost of the Past is not more than it is worth. A good time is com. big and a tetider and beautiful knowledge will guide us. , To stand beneath the arch Of eternal years mid ask an all -wise Provi- dence to relieve US of all responsibility would not be wise: With sufficientlyincreas- ed knowledge the coming man will be able to properly take care of himself, and do his whole duty, and this is happiness.

J. Towusley, the lady who was an t oft .h thnt toppicd distance of 400 feet down Independence Pass, Colorado, without sustaining so much as a serateh has arrived east. Mrs. Towns. ley is prepossessing and about twenty-five years old. Deecribing the marvellous inci- I dent, the details of which have not before been printed, she says : "At daybreak on that morning I was awakened at my hotel in Lemlyille and informed that the Aspen ttage coaeh was waiting for me. It was bit- 1 ser cold and was snowing so densely that I the driver had to pilot Inc to the coach. had on a heavy double•fold velvet dress, a SO41811111 sacque, a buffalo robe pinned over my shoulder, my head covered by a fur cap, and my face eoveloped in a shawl, allowing an aperture for my eyes. Despite all these protections I WAS FRIGHTFULLY 001.0. The coach was drawn by six horses, and was on wheels, We were preceded by the Granite coach, which was on runners. The road over Elk Mountain is a natural one that will ad.nit of but a single ooach passing, At the apex: of the mountain the Granite coach halted in a, station blasted out of the rook, and allowed us to go ahead. Here the derma begat, " The road at this point runs at an incline of 45 °. The driver put on his lock -chain to the whdels, thus virtually con- verting them into runners. The vehicle, despite these precautions and by its own weight, went down at e frightfulps,ce. We could barely keep our seats. We balanced ourselves as best we could. Running up frem the track and through the box of the coach was a perpendicular bar of steel called the kingpin. I clung to this and managed to keep nitleelf right side up. Down the narrow path in the side of the mountain we went, with THE HORSES IN A MAD GALLOP to keep the coach from running them down. We were rounding Independence Pass when suddenly the driver cried, "Jump, jump, for your—.' He never finished the sen- tences. He had been holding the coach as near the embankment as the narrow pass could permit. Ahead ef him ho saw a heavy boulder topple and fall down the Mountain side and into the path. This caused him to make the cry of warning. The obstruction was but twenty yards ahead of him, and it was beyond human power to stay the im- petus the coach had gotten coming down the incline. I saw the driver leap. Inside we held on to the kingpin. Down we went, and in another instant the forward wheels struck the rock. The hind part of the coach was thrown forward and outward and the kingpin snapped itssuncler like a reed. The box with all in it went over the preci- pice on its side and through the window I fell out. Less fortunate than myself, the coach and my fellow -tourists lodged in a crevice on the side of the precipice, some 180 feet below the road. I was thrown out with such force that I clearea this crag and kept on and DOWN THE ruLL 400 FEET to the bed of the canon and into a bank of snow, cutting my way into it as if it was water, heed ,first. The Granite coach jus to the rear of us pulled into a notch in the rocks and the driver and prospectors got out and climbed down to where I had lodg- ed. Armed with shovels, they began to dig me out, and it is curious to relate the one flesh wound I received was from the blade of a shovel which ploughed a furrow in my ankle when they reached me. I was finally dug out, unconscious and to all ap- pearances dead. Restoratives were adminis- tered, and I was taken up and carried ta the toll house at the head of the cliff. Here 'my hands and limb a were rubbed and my face slapped until iny cheeks were raw. But all to no avail, I was black in the face, and there was no audible or visible respira- tion. I was left in the care of the toll -keep- er and the Granite coach passengers, while the two drivers started for Aspen, thirteen miles distant, to summon surgical aid. One of the party returned at midnight with doctors. In the meantime I had revived and had, in company with the toll -keeper, gone down iu a sleigh to the dinner station, three miles below, and was administering to the wounded and dying. All the rest had sustained frightful injuries in their fall of 180 feet." Twelve Rules for the Clare of the Ears. 1. Never put anything into the ear for the relief of toothache. 2. Never wear cotton in the ears if they are discharging pus. 3. Never attempt to apply a poultice to the inside of the canal of the ear. 4. Never drop anything into the ear un less it has been previously warmed. 5. Never use anything but a syringe an warm water for cleansing the ears from pus. 6. Never strike or box a child's ears, this has been known to rupture the drum -head, and cause incurable deafness. 7. Never wet the hair, if you have any tendency to deafness; wear an oiled -silk cap when bathing, and refrain from divine. 8. Never scratch the SETS with anything but the finger, if they itch. Do not use the head of a pm, hair pins, pencil tips, or any- thing of that nature. 9. Never let the feet become cold and damp, or sit with the back town.d tbo win- dow, as these things tend to aggravate any existing hardness of hearing. 10. Never put milk, fat, or any oily sub- stance into the ear for the relief of pain, for they soon become rancid and tend to incite inflammation. • Simple warm water will an- swer the purpose better than anything else. 11. Never be alarmed if a living insect en- ters the ear. Pouring warm water into the canal will drown it, when it will generally come to the surface, and can be easily remov- ed by the fingers. A few puffs of tobacco smoke blown into the ear will stupefy the insect. 12. Never meddle with the ear if a foreign body, such as a bead, button, or seed enters it; leave it absolutely alone, but have a physician attend to it. More damage has been done by injudicious attempts at the ex- traction of a foreign, body than could ever come from its presence n the ear.

Arriving at the house under the direction of o bow-legget1 boy, who point( 0, mat the place, he itnocked and went in, In the middle of the floor stood a stout German girl, sorry and plump, her blue eyes rolling out tear , . " What's the matter 1" said the sympa- thetic justice. " Matter' " said, the ; dat Gottlieb wend off aud wouldn't marry me, ain't it ?" Thelustice said he•supposed it was, aud intimated that he had oome to marry some. i 0110, and requested the old lady to hying oil the lambs to the sacrifice. Old lady said "dare vas no lambs—Gottlieb's run off, and will not marry my lis,tarina." "Well," said the jui stice " Gottlieb isn't the only mom there is ; send for some other man to marry her." At this Katarina's face brightened up, and she ejaculated "Yph, dat is goat; send for Hans." Hans was sent for, but he Couldn't come. When her messenger Feturned, Katarina, determined not to give it up 50, said 'Send micl Shoseph." Shoseph was sent for, but he couldn't be Katarina's heart fell at this news, and the justice was growing impatient Just then Katarina looked out of the window and saw a short and thick young German going by, when she rushed to the door and hallooed : " Fritz 1 Fritz 1" Fritz shortly made his appearance at the door, when Katarina's mother said : "Fritz, you lofe.my Katarina ?" Fritz "allowed " that he was built that way. "Then stand up here," thundered the justice, and before Fritz could realize his position, he was inan and wife, and Kata- rina's arms were around his neck, and her lips pressed to his, she crying between the calisthenics : " Mine husband ; mine Fritz 1" Our duty as a correct historian compels us to say that Fritz hugged back as well as he knew how. The justice, with head erect, stepped t3Iniling1y out, leaving the lovers to themselves and walked away meditatively, a holy cahn stealing all over his massive proportions, the consciousness of having done his duty gleaming in his eye, and hon- or, honesty and rectitude in his footstep 1 Catarrh, Catarrhai Deafness and Hay lrevor.

Knew What the Morning Meal Was Called. "Tum, mamma ; leth's do down to thup- per," said a little toddler to her mother, one morning recently. "Why, we don't have supper in the morning," replied the mother. " Den leth's do down to dinner," urged the little one." "But we don't have dinner in the morn- ing," corrected the mother. Well, den, let's do, down, anyway," pleaded the child. " But try to think what meal we have in the morning," urged mamma. "1 know now," said the toddler, bright- ening up. "What meal do we have in the morn ing ?" "Oatmeal. Tum on, leth's do." Admiration Without Limit. No true man likes to have "admiration without limit" roaring and gushing and twittering round him all the day long. A great man does not disdain praise', but he disdains the notion of being dependent on it. When Doctor Keate was head -master of Eton, he was called in to supprss a rebel- lion among the boys. He executed justice so promptly and so fearlessly that when he took his departure even the rebels began to cheer. He turned on them with a grim smile. "None of that, boys 1 If you nia,y cheer me, you may hiss me." There was a, true heroic dignity in his remark. Courage. Unless a man is fearful, he cannot be courageous. Unless he realises clanger, and is on the watch against it, he lacks the elements of a soldierly character. A child might be fearless on a picket -line in time of war, but vo his fearlessness would not be courageousness, lee nor yet a substitute for it. True courage lies 115° in the intelligent recognition of danger and .1 in the determined facing of the danger recognised. Virtue is more than innocence. See, Innocence may be fearless; virtue must be courageous. A.
