The owner of a large retail store gave a holiday to all his empleyes, in the middle of June. Ceshiers, fewer:eons salesmen vend women, cash -boys and porters, ell were in- vited to spend the day en the grounds df the country -teat owned by their employer. Tente were erected, a besuntiful dinner end supper were provided, a band of music we stationed in a grove, and speoiel trains were chartered to carry the guests to the country and twine again. e Nothing else was talked of far weeks be. fore the heppy day. The stateswomen most of whom were young, anxiously planned their dresses, and bought ,cheap and pretty muslins which they made up in the evenings, that they might look fresh and gay. Even the cash boys bought new cravats and has for the greet occasion. There was one girl, whom we shall call Jane who could not indulge herself in any pretty bit cf finery. She was the only child of a widowed mother wbo was paralyzed. Jane was quick and industrious, but she had been but, a few isrimetlis in thej store and her wages barely kept her and her mother from want. "What shall you wear?” said the girl who stood next her behind the counter. "I bought such a lovely blue lawn." "I have nothing but this," said Jane, glancine down at her rusty black merino. "But that is a winter dress! You'll melt, eland. There'll be dancing and boating and crequet. You must have a summer gown, or else don't go." Girls of fitteen Idre paeitty gowns. Jane said nothing for a few mintsbee, "I must wear this," she said, firmly. "And I think I will go. • Mother wishes and I like to get all the fun I can out of life." "But you can't dance or play croquet in— that I " "It is always fun to see otherpeople have fun," said Jane, bravely. , The day came, bright and hot, andJane went in her heavy, well -darned dress. She gave up all idea of "fun" for herself and set to work to help the others :awl it. On the cars she busied hersell in finding seats for the little girls and helping the servants with the baskets of provisions. On the grounds she started games for the children, ran to lay the table, brought water to the old ladies, sva,s ready to pin up torn gowns, or to ap- plaud a "awed ball; ' she laughed and was happy amPfriendly all of the time. She did not dance nor play; but she was surrounded by a cheerful, merry group wlaerever sbe went. On the way home to town the em- ployer, who was a shrewd business man, beckoned to his superintendent. "There le one girl here whose friendly, polite manner is very remarkable. She will be valuable to me as a saleswoman. Give her a gooa position. That young woman in black," and he pointed her out. The next day Jane was promoted into one of the most important departments'and since that time her success has been steady. The good -humor and kindness of heart which enabled her to "find fun in seeieg others have fun" were the best capital for her in her businese. She had the courage too, to disregard poverty and to make the best of life, a courage which is rare and which rarely falls to meet its reward. Fritz.

Pity that the young man hat so much power to do mischief and seems determined to" tui n his taleuts in that direction. The werldia not yet very far advanced, when two or three not over wise individuals can speak of millions of better men as if they owned them body and bones. It will not be always so. That it is so to such an extent at present is at once a pity and a shame. But how is it to be remedied? There's the rub. Distance is evidently no object toat racing man when he means business. Mr. Pierre Lorillard sent Iroquis to Englend to fetch home the coveted Derby, and pow the Hon. James White, of Australia, purposes trying to do the same. He has entered two colte in the Derby of 1890, and also in the Grand Prix at Paris. They are both of them sired by Chester. The risks attendant on such a long voyage and the preparation of the colts in suoh a w idely different climate are, of course, very great, but do not discourage this good sportsman. The bill iutroduced into Congrese by Sen. ator Cullom to suppress trusts and combines is certainly a drastic: measure. It author- izes the seizure awl forfeiture of all shares of stock and all property used in further- ance of the purposes of a trmt.' It also pro- poses that in any action at law or suit in e gutty in the Uraited States courts the fact that any person interested in the prosecu- tion of the case is is member or agent of a • trust, or that the cause of action grows out of some transaction of a trust, may be plead- ed in bar or in abetement. These enact- ments ought to be stringent enough to re- lieve the people of the United States front the robberies of trusts. The death of Professor Richard A, Proc- tor, who fell a victim on Wednesday to en attack of yellow fever, is a great loss to the cause of popular science. Probably no scientist of the present century ever did more to bring the elementay laws of astrono- my within the comprehension of the masses than he. His highly imaginative and ro- mantic style, as exemplified in his letters and fugitive articles, and his daring speou- la,tions bassed upon scientific facts, gave to everything he said or wrote a singular fas- cination, and led hundreds ste take an in- terest in astroncmy who would otherwise have never desired an acquaintance with the science. Quite a eontroversy is at present going on in one of the religioue newspapers of Lon- don, England, over the scripture narration of Abraham offering up his son haw. It is curious to see the different ways in which professedly religious men seek to explain and defend that; transaction. One of the ablest and most distinguished men in Canada ately dieposed of it in the curt and unmis- takable folloeving, term e "The poor man was either mad, in which case he ought to have been confined in a lunatic asylum, or he was not mad, in which case he was a murderer in spirit and ought to have been hanged." This may be very grammatic and pointedly put, but, the great mass of Bible readers will not accept its wisdom and will not acquiesce in its conclusions. The spirit in which Cauadiana have-receiv. ed the threat of retaliation has commended Hee1er. to the good judgment of the Governor- General. Leaviag the bluster out of the question, tee attitude of the Dominion has certainly been dignified. There has been, and there is; a disposition to enquire into the issues; to pace ourselves right wherever we are wrong,, and to an alt development. Thie policy, we believe, is the patriotic one. An amusing feature of the situation is the claim to superior loyalty which the unreasoning blusterers put in. These people declare, therneelves to be worthy successors of the United Empire Loyalists. It is too bad that the Loyalista shell's.) be eaddled with the folly of the clay. It appeare thatthere is a growing ten- dencyasn the part of the women of the United States to use arteithetics. The habit is most prevalent in the large cities, Dr. Arnulphy, the heart and lung specialist, of Chicago, who has practised extensively in Russia and France, gives it as his opinion that there is more resorting to anteathetics in the United States than in any other country in which he has resided. Morphine is the ,elrug most commonly used, and with some watnen the morphine habit is a per- fect craze. pr. Arnulphy thinks that the habit may be dne to the pecnliar sensitive- ness and excitability of people inhabiting title part of the world. Tbe people here are more susceptible to emotions of vein and pleasure than those of other lande, A good deal of complaint is sometimes heard about the inadequate salaries of preachers of the Gospel, and the consequent worry and anxiety in which they are kept bar want of quantity of filthy lucre. Now all this may --et as a whole the nreach- ers seem to get along pretty well, and man- age to live pretty well, and to oontinue healthy and it is to be plesumecb happy throughout pretty long lives. Laet year, for instance, it is Seld that a hundred and three Presbyterian Ministers died in the States. Of those one was 98 year of age, one 90, four 89, three 88, and 14 between 88 and 80: 39 died between 80 and 70, so that three fifths of the whole was above 70 years of age. In this hurrying, eager age, when there le such is waste of nerve tissues going on, this is is pretty fair certifioate of the healthy character of a, minister's work and of their environments not being by e ity nieans unfavorable to lo9avity.

LOP ttnd Among the most interesting of selentifie observateine is that of the hereditary tatztee, as they crop out in animals foatered under training different from that te whiz* nature coesions them. A traveller in Aldo gives, In "Days and Nights by the Desort," is des- oription of tlae growth and development of two lion cabs, which fell into h(s bends when they were about the she of six menthe' old kittens; Poe tyro days after their capture and .the death of their mother, the little oreetures would eat nothiog, but on the third day they were sufficiently reduced by hunger to de- vour a quart of milk thickened by meal. Among the camp followers was an old nanny -goat, whese kid had recently been killed, and after many failures, and great fright on the part of both foster -parent and babies, the little lions were induced to milk her, to their great satisfaction. At first, Nanny was securely tied while this ceremony was performed, lsut she soon became very fond of her nurslings,and would lick and dress their coats with the greatest assiduity. The lions grew yery raptelly, and the time soon came when the goet could no longer satisfy their appetites. They were then fed on mush and milk, and, as no meat was ever given tuem, their natural instincts seemed to lie quite dormant. They were gentle and playful, on good terms with man and beast, and when allowed to accompany She camp on the march, could be trusted to follow without being tied in any way. One night, however, when they were about as large as epaniels, is wild lion invaded the camp, and carried off a goat in the darkness. Several companions evidently joined him, to sup on the victim, and for some time a fear- ful! yelling and roaring was kept up, close to the camp itself. Leo and Juno, the pot lions, had previous- ly elept peacefully from dark till daylight. Now, however, they began answering the cries of their relative in so impassioned a manner, that the camp was soon surrounded by the enraged animals without, and a hid- eous commotion lasted until daybreak. That one night changed Leo and Juno from playful and affectionate creatures to sulky brutes, only kept in subjection by con- finement and the whip. They seemed, at one step, to have gained all the attributes of their race. Whenever horse or ox ap- proaelied the epet where they were chabaed, thee crouched low, while their eyes glared with desire of carnage. The one creature who could not learn to distrust them was old Nanny, their foeter- mother. One day she punithed them for playing too roughly with her, by a sharp dose of butting. Unluckily, however, she indulged too long in that admonition, and euddenly the two mirages turned upon her. In an instant her neck was broken, and a large piece torn from her hind quarter& . After this the lions were transformed nate bloodeeeking animals. They slept by day, and at night paced their cage in agony to be free, and raven where they would. Finally, through the negligence of some Boom, by whom they were sent to Pretoria, they escap- ed, and Leo was killed in being recaptured, Juno probably did not eejey her freedom long, as she had on a strong collar which must have atraegled her before she reached maturity. Bingen: on the Rhine. The editor of a newspaper lay dying in his lair, and the clew of death had gathered on his brow so calm and fair ; but a printer knelt beside him as his life blood ebbed away, and asked the dying writer if he had a word to say. The doomed man murmured softly, as he grabbed the printer's fit: " iVell, at last the struggle's over, and I never will be missed; take a message and a token to that city man of mine, that all his wornout chest- nute htahad better put in brine. There's his joke about the weather, which he's used these many years, and the gag about the fel low who is always hunting bears, and the item he's so fond of, on the Mall who peddles. books, and the cheetnut based on people who go fishing at the brook; just to save the paper credit and cast no slurs on mine, I would ask him as a favor just to put such gags in brine. And the lis he's fond of telling of the street -cars and the tracks, and ancient joke about that man who steps upon some traeles; and tile one about some dandy who will never pay for clothes, and the one on womcn—its weary, heaven knows Oh, I know 111 slumber happy in my grave be- neath the vine, if the mem who does the city work will put those jokes in brine, Tell the man who tends to business not to weep when I am dead, but to buy himself a club and hit the first man on the head, who comes in with strings of item e and requests:them printed free, when the regular rates are cheaper than they really ought to be. Iij.1 the foreman when he =lees up not to turn a rule for me, but to simply print an item saying that my soul ia free ; for I want no eulogistic taffy of that kind in mind, and I think such hoary chestnate should be pickled well in brine.

The dying writer faltered, as these simple avords he spoke, and the printer knew directly that he was about to croak. So he propped him up as gently DA a child; but the writ- er's soul had wandered to the land of un- defiled. And the printer sobbed a little, as he goam ono last caress and he muttered : "I must leave him for it's time to go .to press.

Mr. Edwin Chadwick, the veteran, Her- cules of sanitary reform, lately told the story of the outcome and general result of the labours of himself and his fellow -workers in the great undertaking of sanitation t� which they have consecrated their lives , and energies. The triumphs achieved have been simply marvellous, and the hopes cherished of yet greater suacesses are very sanguine. Well applied sanitary science will, Mr. Chaawick predicts, prevent "slaughters greater than any inflicted in modern wars, ureater than any inflicted on France up to Sedan; greater than was eustained. by Ger- many in their infliction, greater even than was sustained by the United States in their terrible °toil war." Sanitation, Mr. Chad- wick claims, saved 50,000 lives in Britain, during the last visitation of cholera, beyond the rate of loss in Sweden where the eatriepre- cautions were not taken. In St. Petersburg had the same precautions been taken 20,000 lives Would have been eaved. Nor is it the fact -that peetilence keeps down the popula. tion. On She contrary at such times the birth rate is higher but the children are Weakly and diseased. The healthier and more comfortable the people, the lower the birth-rate. A well-to-do people, in which the death rate is low-. ie likely to be a thoughtful, self•resnecting people and they. will he able to adjust tae increase of their families, to- the means existing for their maintainance. Population, on the other hand, that are 'recklees and miserable whether from pestilence or famine increase greatly , ik numbers.' Mr. Chadwick, of course, does not Say that it "high birth rate is ezever a proof of social 'prosperity. A good harvest or prosperous trade will nor- mally and healthily increase the number of births and at the same time lower the death rate. But at the same time, as a rule, the small number of deaths rather than the large number .of births le the, true sign of national well. being. An Extraordirary Bequest.

Many a pod story has been told eebout the consternation and dismay produ-ea.f.1 by the sound of the Scottish bagpipes on the unin- itiated ears. They are said to hatad'put to flight foes for whom a bayonet charge would have no terrors. But the story told by Bishop Taylor in Ashbury church one even- ing about the effect his moveable teeth pro- duced among the blacks in Africa seeOrt cast all the other yarns of this kind into tbe shade: Somehow his black brethren came , to know that the good D'shop had false teeth, and one of them geutly and tremulously broke the subject to him in conversation one day. Not wishing to he suspected ot witch- craft, the bishop told the children of the sunny south that in big America where he came from, velieu a man lost a leg he could go and get a new one made. And w hen his hair fell off he could buy a fresh supply, and so with the teeth, when they dropped out or were pulled they eould be replaced. "Then," said the bishop, "1 drew out my beautiful, white, clean porcolain ser, and . when they saw that, you ought to ha vd seen those darkies tun and scream and gesticulate. Oae woman declared she had seen the won- der of the world and was now content to die in peace." Badges for Medical Men. Philadelphia is now arguing the question whether its doctors shall be labelled or not. Policemen, railroad conductors, and other public set wants wear uniform aria can be dis tinguished from tbe ordinary citizen, but there is no way of acertaining whether a man is a doctor as not without asking him. This, it is argued, is a great disadvantage, not . only to the physicians, but to the public, as O messenger sent in haste for a doctor inigut meet half a dozen and not know it. It is proposed, therefore, hat each regular physi- cian shall wear a distinguishing mark, such as a badge or a coat of a peculiar cut.
