" We all thought he'd gene to- the dogs for sure, for he w -as 'drink - rug a pint of whiskey a day ; -but a few months ago he braced right up, etopped drinking, and now I haer he's in good busi- ness. and saving money. It beats all, for the last time Inter him he was half under- ground." When you go home at night and find that all is well with your own flesh and blood do you go to sleep reasoning that the rest of the world muse care for itself ? Da you ever shut yaur eyee and call up the hundreds offaces you have met during the day, and wonder if the paleness of death will cover any of them before the morrow ? When you have once been attracted to a face, even if it be a etranger's do you let it drop froin memory with your dreams, or do you call it up again &ad again as night comae down, and hope it may lose none of its brightness in the whirling mists of time ? So " Whiskey Bill " was -hunted down. An inqufry here and there finally traced him to a little brown cottage on a bye street. He sat os the step in the twilight, a burly, broad shouldered man of fifty, and in the house three or four children gathered around the lamp to look over a picture bodes. • ii Yes, they used to call me ' Whiskey Bill,' down town," be replied, as hq moved along and made room, " but it's weeks since I heard the name. NO wonder they think me dead, for I've not set eyes on the old -crowd for months, and 1 doret want to for raonths to come." " They tell me you have quit drinking. Oee eould see that by your face." " I hope so ; I haven't toeched a drop eines February. Before -that I was half drunk day in and day out, and more or a brute than a man. I don't mind saying that my wife's death set me to thinking, but I didn't stop my liquor. God forgive me, . bat I Was drunk when she died, half drunk at the grave, and I meant to go on a regular spree that night. I was low down sir, but .1 was no better than a brute in those days.", " And so you left your motherless _child - e'en at home, and went out and got drunk ?" " No, I said I meant to, but I didn't. The poor thinga were crying all day, and after corning home from the burial I thought to get 'em tucked away in bed before I went out. Drunk or sober, I never atruck one of them a blow, and they never ran from me -when I staggered home. I There's four of 'em in there, acid the youngest isn't quite four years yet. I got the older ones in bed. all right, and then came little Ned. He had cried himself to sleep, and he cried for mother as soon as I woke him. Until that night I never had that boy on my knee, to say nothing of putting him to bed, and you can guess these big fingers made clumsy work with the hooks and buttons. Every minute he kept saying mother didn't do thet way, and mother done this way, and the big children were hiding their heads under the quilts to drawn their sobs. When I had his clothes off and his night gown on, 1 was ashamed and put down ; aud when the oldest saw tears in my eyes, and jumped out of bed to put -her arme around my neck, I dropped the name of ' Whiskey Bill ' right there and forever."- " And little Ned'?" " Mebbe I'd have weakene&but for him," replied the man, as he wiped his eyes.

It is with men as with animals -yon may divide them into two classes, vertebrated and invertebrated. Animals remarkable for dignity and elevation in the scale of exist- ence are vertebrated or baokboned ; their backbones give them. eminence and place ; all animals to which we apply the term "in. ferior want this backbone, and ,they can only or/VI or creep because they' are in- vertebrate& We have often thought, when looking among men that this is the great distinction we notice between them -the suocessful and the unsuccessful, the prinoi- pled and the unprincipled, the true and the 'base. The schoolmaster, as he bide fare- well to his pupil about to enter the great world, ot action and business, says} " I tallow they vvill never make anything of that bey -there is no backbone in him.

Ort -f -j -t bone in him." , And Thompson, the archi- tect, refuses to have anything to do with building the iow of houses. " For," says he, ". there is no knowing where to find Williams, who wants me to build them ; he has no backbone." These are customary modes of speech, and they represent the simple truth of life. We recoil instinctive- ly from the touch of the spider and the wasp, the leech and the slug : and we recoil as instinctively from the large class of per- sons of whom these little creatures are , a sort of moral analogy, because they have no backbone. They can sting sometimes ; they can weave a brittle web sometimes ; they leave here and there a slimy trail ; they can draw blood ; and the instincts of society and humanity recoil from them. They have no backbone. -Paxton Hood. Awful Experience with Heart Disease. -Mr. L. J. Law, Toronto, Can., writes : " I was so sorely troubled with heart disease that I was unable for 13 months to lie down in bed lest I smother.

Practicability is distinctly an American trait, and that the child is fatheisof the man in this regard is somettmes rather startlingly exemplified. A case in point is that of a Camden Sunday school teacher., on a recent Sunday, and an embryonic disciple of Sher- lock Holmes. The day's lesson bore on the disappearance of the boy Jesus from his parents' side, and the more vividly to im- press on the youthful minds the grief of the alarmed parents, the teacher asked the ques- tion : " What would you have done, John, if your little brother had become separhted from your side in a iitrange city ?"

Her name was a household word before many of us were born. She was one of the few notable personalities revealed to the world by the Crimean war, and it is one of the bright features of that campaign that it set the example of Florence Nightingale before the women of Englancl, and ennobled the pro- fession of nursing. Miss Nightingale went out to Soutari to find 2,300 sick and wound- ed soldiers waiting for the touch of a gentle hand, and she lied' been there hardly 24 hours before 500 more came into the hospitals.

In addition to being oolle3tor of materna Mrs. Harris is manager of the Postal Tele- graph Company, manager of the telephone exchange, a freight agent and a writer.

There is much of philosophy in the sub- joined sayings found in Chinese literature and having relation to women : Respect always a silent woman ; great is the wisdom of the woman that holdeth her -tongue. A vain woman is to be feared, for she will sacrific all for her pride. A woman that respects herself more beautiful than a single star ; more beautiful than many stars at night. A woman who mistakes her place can never return.to where she firet was ; the. path has been covered up from her eyes. When first a woman loves she fears ; she fears not that to which she has heen ao- cuetomed. A woman desirous of being seen by men is not trustworthy ; fear the glance from her eye.

Fear, druggist, Seaforth Gold Used in the Arts. The amount of gold turned into coin each year by the mines et the world is a mere vothing to the huge quantity used in mind- ing piecture frames, painting signs, binding books, designing on furniture and on pot- tery. The world's entire stock of gold is about 1,100 tons, but of this I.9p only exists in the form of coin. The stock of coin is increasing by about 2i- tons a year. Four tons and a half are minted, but a ton is ilost by waste. This is a small item comparad with the 120 tons Which jewelers and gilders use up every year, and none of thia vaat amount is re- coverable. France is the largest consumer of gold for the arts. She uses 35,000 pounds a year. Great Britain qs a good second,with 34,100 pOunds. The United Statesedollows next, with 31,000 pounds. It is estimated that India gold to the value of $5,000,000 each year is drawn from circulation by pa- lely° hoarders, and in other countries,bunbh- ing them altogether, a similar amount. - New York -Press.

On the whole, rthink, it is generally ad- mitted that the Parieian woman makes the best of her opportunities in the matter of dress, but in two respects the English woman has the advantage. In the first place, no woman of auy other nationality looks so well in evening dress as an English woman. This is probably due to the fact that she wears it so much more frequently, particularly at the theatre and restaurants. Then again, the English womaa invariably eclipses a French woman when she is wear- ing a tailor-made gown. -Mrs. Langtry. -Matrimony is deceminating the ranks of the teaching profession in Toronto.

Both parties aro in England. Mr. Burnside recently paid a visit to Toronto. Acting in Mr. Burnside's behalf, Messrs. Masten, Star & Spencer, a local law firm, have entered two suite at Osgoode Hall.

He then chanced to read "Salhest" and was so taken with the character of Catiline that he wrote a play introducing him.

He leaned against the door and wept. "I have nothing else, Pola," I protest- ed. , "Truly, if I had another picture of Tusidala I would give it to you," He brightened up at once. "There is the ono in the smoking room," he said, "where he walks back and forth. That pleases me, for it looks like him." He re- ferred to an oil painting of Mr. Stevenson by Sargent. I explained that I could not give him that. "Then I will take the round one," he said, "of tin." This last was the bronze bas-relief by St. Gaudens. I must have laughed involuntarily, for he went out deeply hiat. Hearing a strange noise in the hall an hour or so later. I opened the door and discovered Pole ly- ing on his face, weeping bitterly. "What are you crying about?" I asked. "The shadow, the shadow!" he sobbed. "I want the sun shadow of Tusitala." I knocked at my mother's door a.cross the hall; and at the sight of that tear stained face her heart melted, and he was gieen the last photograph we had, which he wrapped ,in a banana leaf, taing it carefully with a ribbon of grass. TOO GOOD TO BE WELL A Hoopital Doctor's Experience With an Out Patient. There is an interval of silence; then a sudden peal as the accident bell is heard, and the next moment an agitated parent is seen runuing down the passage with a child tucked under the arm, its bare legs streaming behind it in the wind of its mother's rapidity. "What's the matter, missis? she swallowed some poison?" "No, Sir; it ain't that," she pants;- "but I'm that scared I dou't know 'ardly which way to turn." "Well, hut what's happened? Has she hurt herself ?" "No, sir; and 'er father 'e's that upset 'e couldn't do nothink, else I ain't used to runnin like that, and 'e'd 'ave brought 'er up, but 'e says as 'ow 'e daren't touch 'er, and I've run all the way, and me 'eart"- "Come now, missis, Just tell me quietly what's the matter with the.child." The patient, a pretty little thing of 4, looks inquiringly at her alarmed parent; there seems to be little the matter with her. "It's all very well yer a-sittin there and a-tellin of me to be quiet," cries the mother. "If yer 'ad children of yer own yeenevouldn't like ter see 'em die afore yer eyelPie Oh, dear, oh, -dear, and there ain't only two more and the baby!" The doctor in despair examenes the little girl, but fails to diecover anything wrongs, "New look here," says he firmly, "I can't find anything the matter with your child, so you'll have to go away unless you tell me why you brought her up to the hos- pital." 'Well, doctor, we was- all a-havin our tea a 'minute ago as it might .be, and 'er father was eatin a nice bit -or tripe as was over frora dinner, when Busy, that's 'er, says as 'ow she loved God and was goin to 'eaving when she doled. What!" in tones of horror. "Ain't yer going to give 'er no medicine?". or Dvvarf Trees. To dwarf trees as the Chinese do yon must follow their methods. They take a young plant, say a seedling or a cutting of cedar when about two or three inches high, cut off its taproot as soon as It has enough other rootlets to live upon and replant it in a shallow pot or pan, al- lowing the end of the taproot to rest up-, on the bottom of the pan. Alluvial claA molded to the size of beans and just suffi- cient in quantity to furnish. a scanty nourishment is then put into the pot. Water, heat and light are permitted on the same basis. The Chinese also use various mechanic- al contrivances to promote symmetry of growth. As, owing to the shallow pots, both top and roots line easily accessible, the gardener uses the pruning knife and the searingdron freely. So that the little tree hemmed on every side eventually gives up the unequal struggle and, cora tentiag itself with the little life left, grows just enough to live and look wells How Symbols Look to the English. There are many quaint old resteurants and Innen around London, and Boma of their signs are very curious, writes a London correspondent to the New York Times. Among these is one known popu- larly as the Goose and Gridiron. In reality it, is the Swan and Harp, which are the well known symbols of the Com- pany of Musicians. The Angel and Steelyards, as another one in kn.own, really represents Justice holding her Scales. The Bull and Bedpost shows a hull fastened to a stake ready to be bait- ed, and the Ship and Shovel is a me- mento of Sir Cloudesley Shovel's naval exploits. Some Laughs,. An American traveler In Europe re- marks the, Italian laugh as languid, but annsical, the German as deliberate, the French as spasmodic and uncertain, the -upper class English as guarded and not always genuine, the lower class English tts explosive, the Scotch of all classes as hearty and the Irish as rollicking. Said an Irishman, "If a Yankee was cast away on a deSolate island, he'd .get up early the next morning and sell every inhabitant a map of the place."

" Pat Sheedy, through whose instru- mentality the lost Gaideborough is reported to bave been recovered at Chicego, is one of the mildest and at the same time coolest gamblers that ever handled a card in the United States. One who knows him writes • Sheedy isn't a bad man in the sense of being - ready to use a shooting iron on sight and with the slightest provocation. He is simply a remorselessly calculative gamester with a flne, open, equareeint face that leads the uninitiated to suppose him a solid busi- hems man. On one occasion a young fellow who had been gambling with him in Chicago got into trouble through embezzling some of his employer's money. Sheedy, himself an exeellent judge, of character, learned that it was the youngster's first step aside. Straight- way he got all proceedings stopped by pay- ing up the embezzled cash. His words of advice to the man he had pulSed out of trouble were few and to the point You small idiot, if I ever hear of you going into a gambling saloon again, I'll kill yeti.' The young fellow never did, becauee, as he said afterwards, From the way Sheedy spoke, I knew he would keep his word.' " Up Against' His Own Shop. " Will you pleaee examine this diamord," said a man who had stepped into a jeweler's shop, " and tell me what you think of it ? If it is a good stone I think I will bay it." The jeweler took the gem, which was unsafe and looked at it critically for a moment. Then, in confidential tones, he said ; " Well, to tell you the truth, that isn't a very good stone. It has not much fire • It is badly out, and there is something here very much like a flaw." Then he held the diamond under a microscope and examined it carefully, fiinally observing, No, it is not exactly a flaw, but I shouldn't call ib a perforce stone. Now, if you want some- thing really fine, I have here-" " Excuse ire " the other,man interrupted : " I don't think,I'll buy a diamond to -day.

" Few tradee are so overcrowded as that of stenography, because 20 girls can be feiund for each position offered," writes Frances E. Lanigan in the September Ladies' Home Journal. A new branch of reguler stenography is that of the type- writer -stenographer, who works by the piece. She visite her customers each morn- ing, takes notes, and does her work upon her own typewriter, returning the letters promptly for signature. She also does copying. To business men who have not sufficient work, nor office room eufficient to share with a typewriter, she is invaluable. She is also a valued assistant to women who are busy with club work, answering their letters, copying rules and regulations, and filing away their business papers. Superstitions About Friday. Many years ago, when sailing ships were the only means of communication between the different countries, superstition was more rife among sailore than at the present time. These absurd fancies were not con- fined to Jack alone, but they were shared in to a greater or less extent by shipmasters and ewners. Friday was considered a day of evil, and the most malignant results were supposedto attend avoyege commenced on this day of the week. In those times he would indeed have been a reckless skipper who would have attempted to 'sail on this ill-omened day, for the crew would have broken out in open rebellion rather than lift the anchor from the bottom or cast off the shore moorings. Since the advent of steam many of thetas prejudices have become as derelict as the ships on which they were once entertained. A true story is told of a skeptioal MIMS- ohussetts captain who, way back in the early years of the Repubiio, determined to exhibit tge fallacy of this particular super- stition. e contracted on a certain Friday for the b ildivg of a ship, and it was tir rauged t at the keel of this vessel was laid on a Frick y, that she was launched on a Friday, atoned Friday, commenced loading on a Friday, and hauled into the atream on the same,day of the week. To add to the possibilities of disaster a negro cook named Friday was eagaged ; and thus fully freight- ed with ttie duster name, the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound for a porb in the West Indies. From that day to this no tidings of the ill eonditioned craft have been re- ceived. But those of us who like Friday for various reason', but chiefly because it leads upt to Saturday, upon which day schools ale closed, will be pleased to hear that it ieitiot half so uniuctity a day as Mon- day, the dity school opens, again. A Ger- man stet -Man, feeling that•Friday had been a much neeligned day, determined to make a scientifie investigation of the matter, and has found that it is not Friday but Monday that is the most unfortunate of the week days. According to hie inveatigations 16 74 per cent. of all the accidents occur on Mon- day, 15.51 per cent. on Tuesday, 16.31 per cent. on Wednesday, 15.47 per cent. on Thursday, 16 38 per cent. on Friday, 16 per oent on Saturday, and 2.69 per oent. on, Sunday.
