He stood upon hie head awhile,
And, when he wont to boa awhile
He dove among the pillows, which he

Ho never could keep still a bit ;
The lookers.on thought ill of it;

And did some Moo trapozing,
Whielt was wonderfully pleasing,
On every peg in grandpa's harness room.

FISHING FOR 110T11ER-OF-PE,iRL,
Twice a yoar the fishers set off
for the coral reefs in the Red Sea.
A fleet consists of about three
hundred open boats of from eight
to twenty tons burden and with a
single lateen sail ' m each. The
crews eunaiet almost entirely of
black slaves, who receive two•thirde
of the 'catch,' while the other third
goes to the owners of the boats,
When the sea is calm, the fishers
anchor the boats near the coral
reefs, and going out in canoes to
the fishing•grounde, dive for the
shells. These slaves are of all ages
from ton to forty years, and aro re•
marleably strong and healthy. The
mother•of-pearl shells are sold at
auction in the markets of Jeddah'
and are sent to London and Havre.

MRS. G1LAI)STONE.
No woman lives a more useful life
than the wifo of England's great-
est man. Although 75 years old,
Mrs. Gladstone has still sufficient
anergy to reflect the motto adopted
by her when only a little girl, "If
you want a thing well done do it
yourself,"
Her father, Sir Richard Glyntie,
Bart., of Hawarden Nettle, was in
the habit of saying that even as a
child, this pet daughter evinced a
remarkable talent for leadership ;
and subsequently events have prov-
ed that the baronet's impression
wag correct.
While Mrs. Gladstone Is in per•
feet sympathy with her husband,
and ever ready to be of service to
him, yet she is more interested in
raising the moral and social stand•
and of thee° around her than any-
thing else.
For years she has not only en.
couraged horticulture and floricul-
ture among the cottagers in her
neighborhood, but has personally
asaieted in the selection of plants
and the laying out of plots.
She has an abundance of tact and
in argument she is quite as logical
as her husband. During a prolong •
ed. interview with a particularly
combative and unreasoning woman
on one 000asion her husband is said
to have remarked : "Well, now,
thio is rather unprecedented, yon
know. My wife usually talks over
the most pertinacious of them in
lees time than dile. But libe'll
boat," ho added laughingly, "for
she never fails."
Beieg quite domestio in her taste,
Aire. Gladstone is highly delighted
to find this talent amomg her
Mende.
In the selection of these this lady
ie never influenced by the accident
of birth, wealth or social position.
Her two requirements are moral
worth and brains. 'Thus the proud.
est home in England is always
open to professional people.
In 1862, during the cotton fatnine
Mrs. Gladstone worked night and
day to alleviate the misery.
She established an Orphan's
Homo at Clapham in 1866. This
afterwards beca me a home for in -
Durables.
Mrs. Gladstone's social, odnoa-
tional and charitable projeots have
always been warmly seconded by
her husband, who is more proud of
his wife than of anything else in
the world, not excepting his own
honorable and brilliant career.
The following story will illustrate
tbis lovely woman'a great heart :
"Olt, if I could only do something
for you," a poor Binger whom Mrs.
Gladstone had boon able to render
a groat service onoe exclaimed.
"That is easy, my dear," the
lady, responded.
"Easy for me to be of eorvico to
you ?" the lady exclaimed, the grate-
ful tears flowing down her ohooka.
"Yes ; by doing something for
somebody else. A kind word, a bit
of practical advice, n helping eland
—even if thorn isn't much in it,"
Mrs. Gladstone replied with a smile,
"will always bo doing something for
me, And more than that, my
child, it will bo doing something for
yourself and romotbing for God."

A box of fire crackers costa 65
cents in China, each box containing
2,560 crackers neatly packed and
subdivided, all ready dor the retail

The Eiffel tower at Paris promises
to be one of the wonders of the
world. It has been built up 300
feel, or a third of the height it is
intended to be. George Pierce, a
Paris correspondent, thus describes
the view to bo seen from its present
altitude : "Peering over the edge, I
could see the workmen below, look-
ing like beetles. Around the out.
aide of the tower a railroad runs,
bringing beams, sheet -iron and other
material. Above our heads 160
workmen hammered at hot rivets,
and the four giant corner poets
stretched skyward. The view is
magnificent. Up I go again, by a
winding etairoaae, to the top of the
highest beam, held in place merely
by chains. The wind 'whistles
through the scaffolding so that we
have to hold our hats. But we
discover elpendid panorama. Paris
hes in sunlight at our fent, with
shining domes, the whole veiled in
a mist, which deepens on the dis-
tant hills. 'The Seine looks like the
motionless glass used to imitate
water on big relief maps ; the Arch
of Triumph looke like a paper-
weight, the obelisk like a needle,
and the Vendome column like its
case."

Winnipeg parties aro getting up

There was gold iu that section, but

not directly interested that the de-
posits were not in sufficient quanti-
ty to pay the working. Several
years ago, during the speculation
fever in Manitoba, several gold min.
ing companies were started. The
stock was unloaded upon the public
in due time, but the mines, which
are supposed to have been in the

not yet panned out the fortunes
promised. Whon they will is a

An amusing incident occurred in

number of now chairs were platted

hour arrived, the sun shone in upon
them and the paint softened. The
result may bo imagined, Now the
enterprising manager, who brought
the band to the city by giving a
very largo guarantee, is in the un•
pleasant position of being the re-
cipient of olefins from several people
who had their clothes painted, and
also from the owner of the chairs
for having had his chairs spoiled:
