The sister says to her broth- er, "Brother, 1 have good news for you. !Al woman loves you." If willing to go on with the affair, through the sister, an sppointment is made and following/ dialogue takes place: The man says, "You like me proper?" "Yes, I like you proper, with my heart inside." Unwilling to give himself away rashly he asks, "Now, you like mel" "1 like you altogether. Your skin good." The girl, anxious to olinoh the mat- ter, asks when they are to be married. The man says. "To -morrow, if you like. "There is a monk fight when they tell their relatives, and every- thing is settled. In Maoriland the girl generally begins the courting. The love token which' the girl throws at the feet of her lover is a little bit of flax made into a sort of half knot.

There every- thing that spoke of military order anal striot discipline failed to catch the eye, obape reigned, like some un- crowned despot, horses straggled hither and thither, dragging their raw hide tethering reins through the grass beside them, Niggers sprawled in the sun like toads on the muddy margin of a silent swamp, saddles and bridles lay strewn around like dirt heaps waiting for the dustman in a played -out mining town, tamp cooking fires fliokered in the wintry sunlight between the tents, which sprawled abeut the plaee like the crew of a North Sea whaler on the floor of a drinking den. The soldiers within the Imes loung- ed around with pipe in mouth, expec- t of long a skill born expec- torating with k g practioe at the eye of some wander- ing mule or drowsy son of Ham. Others squatted about examining with loving care the magazine of a fondly favoured rifle. Others, with heels cocked upwards between the spokes of waggon wheels, their heads and hips buried in the soft, warm grass, read the ancient nowspupers, Frayed with much handling from man to man, and threw with rough strong voices the scraps of news they gained to comrades loafing about on ant- hills or piles of blankets.

There is more than a suspicion of 'untidiness about their dress, something almost slovenly in the way they hang around. But, he is a poor observer who does not notice the splendid development of thew and sinew, the clear out of the powe rful shoulders, the depth. of chest which tapers to the waist, proof positive, of strength and activity. The hard, brown faces, clean as an athlete's in full training; the bright, bold eye, which glitters unfalteringly in sun or shade, speaking of ready watchful- ness in time of trial; the firm snap of the jaws, which stand like mute monuments to hours of danger faced with manly courage. A drill ser- geant's heart would ache to look at them, but a fighting general would ask for no better men at his right hand when the tide of battle was running against him. Such was the camp that lay behind the greatest of Colonial Generals. Around him, to th'e right and left, Nature's master- piece in Africa, the black, burnished, barren mountains, in front of him-, the foe• What better framework for a portrait could a soldier ask than this; his friends beside him, the enemy in front, and overshading all the massive handiwork of the Great Creator? The shadows lay beneath, the sun- light kissed him where he stood, a hale old man, upon whose face sixty- five long stormy years had out their tracks, as rivers leave the imprint of their passage down the gorges and the glens in Scottish mountains. The soft slouch hat, cocked jauntily to Meade his face, laid bare a portion; of his head, showing his hair as white ax driven snow. The face beneath the sombrero's brim was keen, sharp featured, full of life and fire. The pale blue eyes, steady and true, no sign of fading power in THAT WAN, WORN FACE, though the moustache that hi,d the upper lip was as white as a girl baby's conscience.

About it. The Chinese language is a purely symbolic language, all other lan- guages are phonetic or alphabetical. In all the phonetio languages the sounds that are beard in the spoken language are analyzed or split up into a few elementary sounds, which by oombination, form worde. To each of these few elementary sounds an ar- bitrary sign on paper is assigned and these signs constitute the alphabet. Thus, in any European language, and in any other language, except Chi- nese, the sound of the voice in speak- ing is the basis of the written lan- guage—they are all phonetic. If the same sound is used to represent two or more ideas, this makes no differ- enete, the appropriate letters of the alphabet are used, and the writer re- lies 'upon the neighbouring words to prevent absurdity. The ;Chinese written language ie totally different from this, It has nu' alphabet at all, and no approach to an alphabet, but proceeds on a differ- ent basis, which will be best brought home by a steeple illustration, Recent- ly in Belgium a traaveller bird. occ. - sion to examine a railway time table, and there found that certain railway stations where refreshments might be procured were marked by a little rep- resentation of a Wine cep. This ie Chinese writing. Whet mode of writing could be briefer, or more to the purpase. or more unmis- takable? Yaa see the drawing of a ,glass, it stares you in the face, an.' you know that refreshments there await your exhausted frame. Th, symbol expresses an idea quite apart from the spoken utterance of that idea. The chlef disadvantage of any phis- netio system is that since the writing follows' the sound, and sound of a language is constantly changing, d g, the written languages changes, too. This change is less rapid since: the discov- orq orf the ar't of printing but there ie still a gradual change There is no 0element of crena vena in t n Y fixeP y, suds a language. But symbolic lan- guage never changes.

From the Post, Thorold, Ont. Mr. Jamas Dabr uld and wife are two of the bast known residents of the town af:]'horold, where then lave passed many years. In their family they have a little son, who, al- though but tent yoarg of age, has' ex- p'arieneed wadi affliction, and his Barents expended many a dollar in the search for his renewed health— all .in vain, however, until Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills were brought into use. A Post ;reporter hearing of the cure called at Mr. Dabauld's cosy home and received full particulars from Airs. Dabauld. "I am pleased," said lairs. Dabrield, "to have the pub- lic made aware of the facts of my boy's case df it is likely to help some) other sufferer. Charier is now ten year's of age. In infancy he was a delicate child, but from four to seven he scarcely passed a well day. At four years of age he began to com- plain of frequent headaohes, which later became almost continuous, and soon symptoms of .general debility developed. His appetite was poor and he grew'ipale and emaciated, and the least exertion caused a severe palpitation and fluttering of the heart, and dizziness. At 'times there was considerable derangement of his stomach; a blueness of the lips and a. alertness of breath. He would often lie awake et night and rise in the morning haggard and unrefreshed. Burble his illness he was treated by two doctors. Both differed in the diagnosis of his case. One said, it was catarrh of the stomach, and while his treatment was persisted in there was no improvement. The sec- ond also attended him for some timo Witt no better results. Some time after my attention was attracted by my aunt to Dr. Williams' Pin'kiys?il1s, and. alesrnt September, 1307. I pro- cured the pills and he began taking them. We had long before come to the conclusion be would be an invalid for life, but believing it a duty I owed to my child to procure all meatus of relief, I was determined to give Dr. William,4' Pink Pills a fair trial.

TILE TOWER OF BABEL, SUPPOSED ANCIENT GREEK DOCU- MENT THROWS LIGHT UPON IT. r-, I,e Itimensi,no Vary Prom :l'linse Illlher- to Bettered to be Onrrepi-ltudtullt by Nebuchadnezzar. For centuries scientists have been. endeavouring to ascertain the exact dimensions and the other secrets of the architecture of the Tower of Ba- bel, but, though many ingenious the- ories have been broached and some val- uable facts have been gathered, no authoritative statement in regard to the famous tower has been forthcom- ing .until now, when it reaches us in the form of en ancient Greek manu- script, which was recently discovered by M. de Mely, the distinguished French archaeologist. The exact data of this .mansseoript does not seem to be known, but M. de Maly and several of his 'colleagues of the Academy of Inscriptions who have examined it are confident that it is one of the oldest in existence and that the facts con- tained therein' may be accepted as his- torical. To the modern world this ancient dooument is of value because it eon - tains a very clear description of the Tawas' of Babel, The Tower, it says, was eighty-four kilometres, distant from Babylon; and its basement or first story was 184 metres eD, each side and seventy-five feet high. In the middle was a square tower, construct- ed of six stories, placed one above the other, and at the summit was a small sanctuary, ruins, and one off mo first acts after' ho asoonded the throne was to order that it be restored with great splen- dor, The present ruins consist of a huge irregslar mound, which Mace abrupt- ly from a wide desert plain and which is erowaied by the reins 02 a tower, the height of mound and tower being. 153 feat, ;Most of the bricks which have been excavated from this mound bear in cuneiform ohareetens the name of Nebecbadnezzar, and oie one of them is en inscription which says that a former king had built title tower, but had not completed` the uppermost story, end that the people bad aban- doped the building ages ago, (Now the suggestion has heti made that the dimensions as given In the Greek manuscript may be those oe the original tower and not of the building as restored' by Nebuchadnezzar. This, however, is not likely to be the ease, In the first place, there is ample test- imony that the original building was. n when -N practically in ruins Nebuchad- nezzar began his work of restoration, d probable that any and it is hardly p y authentic description of it was hand- ed down from generation to genera- tion, and in the second place, there is internal evidence thattheauthor of the Greek manuscript was referring to the tower ox its ruins as they existed in his own time. owe The height of these stories was 67 metres, and an exterior stairway, con- taining 805 steps, led to the senatu- ary. These steps, of which 805 were fashioned of silver and 60 of gold, were designed to represent the 365 days of the year, Furthermore, the seven stories were intended to corres- pond to the seven days of the week, 'I and also to the weeks of the year,since 366, the nwnber a the steps, divided by 7, the nnbn1ler of the stories, gives us 52, the number of the weeks In each year. Furthermore, a very old legend says that the various stories were painted so as to represent the planets which are sslpposed to rule over the days 02 each week. Thus the lowest story, was painted black, this being Saturn's Dolor ; the next was painted orange, in honor of Jupiter ; the third was painted red to represent Marc; the fourth, was of a golden hue, the sun being symbolized in this fashion; the' fifth was painted yellow in honor of Venus ; the sixth was blue, this being Meroury's Dolor, and the seventh was' silver, in honor of the moon. Sir Henry Rawlinson, the famous Orientalist, after long investigation concluded that the tower was com- posed of seven stages, each of which was an exact aquara, and that on the seventh' was placed the ark, or tab- ernacle. The dimensions of the building he gives as follows :— First story, 272 feet each way, and 20 feet in height ; sec- ond, 230 feet each way and 20 feat in height ; third, 188 feet square and 16 feet high; fourth, 146 feet square and 15 £est high; fifth, 101 feet square and 15 feet high ; sixth, 62 feet square and 15 feet high, and seventh, 20feet square and 15 feat high. The height of the ark he places! at 15 feet and he thinks that it covered the entire seventh story. The original height of the tower, he says, was 156 feet. Now, a comparison of those figures, with those in the Greek manuscript will show a striking discrepancy in some important particulars. Sir Henry evidently had an admirable conception of the tower as it existed in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, but if the Helle- nic writing is correct the dimensions as given by the English archaeologist and as reproduced in Mr. Palmer's model are not accurato, The building. according to these newly discovered data, was evidently of greater height and width than Sir Henry Rawlins son imagined it to be. is Rheumatism of the face, Uric Acid left in the blood by disordered kidneys lodges along the nerve which branches from the eye over the forehead, and across the cheek to the nide of the nose.

It was as follows: When working for others sink yourself out of sight; seek their inter- est. Make yourself necessary to those wee employ you, by industry, fidel- ity and sorupulous intergrity. Sef- fishnesa is fatal. You must not go into debt. Avoid debt as you would the devil. Make it a fundamental rale: No debt—cash or nothing. Make few promises. Religiously observe, the smallest promise. A man who means to keep his promises oan not afford to make many. Be scrupulously careful in all state- ments. Aim at accuracy and perfect frankness, no guesswork — either nothing, or absolute truth. Held yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Beep your own standard high. Never excuse yourself to yourself. Never pity yourself, be lenient to everybody elan. Concentrate your force on your own business ; do not turn off. Be con- stant, steadfast, persevering.

A great many canaries die of over- eating. A gluttonous bird should be given a limited supply of food, and prevented from gorging himself, a practice which will in time bring on fatty degeneration of the heart, a disease which carries off a great many. fine cage birds before their time. It is a mistake fatal tot health ahe cal b of the bird to give it cake or any rich food. Seed and a little green reedlike fresh chickweed, lettuce or wateroress are all that is desirable. Change the waterin the bird's nage twice a day at least in summer. Change the food daily, so there is No danger of the bird getting sour food. A canary should be keptin a room of even tem- perature. It is a foolish mistake which is fatal to the bird to imagine that it is beater off outside of the cage. A bird that has been brought up in a cage, and very likely was hatched in a cage, is as helpless to take care of itself as a little child put adrift in the woods. Such birds fall victims to the sentiment of those who turn .them out. (Copy of a leiter whim; appeared in the Ceylon Observer.) " C011,.t.SPO_rf ENCii." Colombo, Aug. 154 11500.
