Almost every ship bound to this country finds one or two days .out to sea, men or boys concealed '.'„among th o, trying to get a pass - t age across ;water without payiug for it. And this is often troublesome, as well as expensive. The mate sus- pected some of the sailors had a hand '':an the little boy's ,escapade, and he treated him pretty • roughly. Day after day he was questioned about his coming, and it was always the same ,..story -nothing less, nothing more.

There he stood, pale '.and sorrowful, leis head erect, °tears in 'his eyes; but afraid ?-no, not a bit ! . Eight minutes were already gone. "Only two minutes more to live," cried the mate. "Seak the truth and save ; your life, boy." "May I pray?" asked the child, look- ing up into the hard man's face, The officer nodded his head; but said (nothing. The brave boy then knelt down on the deck, with clasped hands and eyes raised to heaven, repeated L theLord's Prayer, and then prayed the °dear Lord Jesus to take him home to ;heaven. He could die: but lie -never! All eyes were turned toward him, and sobs broke from stern hearts. The mate could hold out no longer. He 'his-arPms, sprang :hto is-ae rms,-kissed told him he believed his story, every word of it.

There Is a ea.looft-keeper In Ten- nessee who is eornething of e, humorist. His entire family was do court the other day, and cue of his daughters was a witness against her father. She told phis mildly interesting frtory "Pa was sitting in his saloon, feeling lonely. Ile went to the barn, and, putting a halter ou hie horse, brought him Into the heuse, saying he wanted the antmal to eat supper with him. Pa made me set a plate for the horse. Then he took hold of the hurse's front lege and lifted theta up on the table. Vire all sat duwn to supper and the horse began to eat. Pa picked up a mug of beer and began to laugh and throw both hands in the air. The rnug hit the horse on the nose. The beast pulled his feet dawn, dragging the tablecloth aril upsetting the table. The horse backed up and sat squarely on a red-hot stove. This burned its tall so the animal kicked the stove over and ran out of the door, I screamed, and Pa threw a lamp at me. The house came near catching tire, and a police- man came in. Pa has been arrested 108 times." -Atlanta Constltotion. The Successful Teacher. There are really only two things the successful teacher needs to have - knowledge of his subjeet-matter and knowledge of his pupils. The first of these can be gained only by experience. The man who has never been a real child himself cannot effectively teach children; and he who does not know by experience the warmhearted, ex- uberant gaiety of school and college boys cannot successi`ully teach them. Furthermore, the teacher who spends more time on the method of teaching literature than on literature itself Is sure to come to grief. Greatest of all forces 1s the personality of the in- structor; nothing In teaching Is so ef- fective as, this; nothing is so instantly recognized and responded to by pupils; and nothing Is more neglected by those Who insist that teaching is a science rather than an art. After hearing a convention of very serious pedagogues discuss educational methods, in which they use all sorts of technical phraseo- logy, one feels like applying Gladstone'■ cablegram : "Only common sense re- quired." -Century. Friendship and the Imltatlon. Without spirituality there can be no friendship. Tete exchange of social favors is not friendship, though it is mistaken for it; it is trade, I will call upon you if you oall upon me. I will invite you if you Invite me. The greater part of the social round is upon a strictly oommercial basis. This Is not friendship. Friendship asks no return. It is hurt when, by an osten- tatious promise or proffer of a return of favors, it is put upon theplatform of the mart. Spirituality is the scource of true friendship. Without it every man and woman Is potentially, and at all times partially, every other man's and woman's opponent, rival, an- tagonist, enemy. Rare as pure friend- ship may be among Christiana, there is none of it wlhatever anywhere else. - Detroit Free Press° Rules for Dining Out. The man who would dine out often and attend to his business, too, must lay down four rules for himself and obey them : He must eat very little, and only of the solids that are placed before him. He must drink very little. He must smoke ,very little, He must never, never eat a late sup- per. Happy the man who does obey them! He learns the beet thoughts of the best people In the free conversation before dinner, In conversation during dinner and In that most delightful con- versation after dinner. He learns public sentiment, he puts himself in touch with p:yblic thought. At a din- ner with agreeable and clever people around the board, a man learns more than he would by a month of study. - Chauncey M. Depew. Repairing Women. There are few things about the hu- man frame that a Viennese surgeon does not know. If man had not been created as he has been, he dvould have been eventually made by a Viennese doctor. The faculty in the Austrian capital think nothing of doing him over, or, one should say, of doing her over. It seems that women in Vienna can go and be done up fresh, and es- pecially retrimmed to look better than before. Several physicians made a specialty of women -culture. One of them, a doctor, Robert Fischer, says that his day is not long enough for this praotice. Continues this frank speaker : "Numbers of mothers put their daughters through a whole course of beautification. when they are in the marriage market. That's the time when the most elaborate preparations of the human form are ordered and undertaken. I have a great deal more to do 111 the spring and fall than for the most fashionable halls of the year." The Wonders of Transposition. The word "time' admits of a very peculiar arrangement of its letters. The four letters of the word trans- posed and read baokwards and for- wards and up and clown give us tour perfect English and Latin words. It is said to be the only word In our language that will admit of so many tran•spositona and arrangements. Note the oddity in the square below': : TIME : : ITEM : : METI : : EMIT : The above words, in English, as well es in Latin are all complete, and the curious part of et Is that reading them backwards and forwards and up and down gives the same result that trans- posing the letters In the original word does. The signtflcance as Latin words Is as follows : Time, fear thou; Item, likewise; matt, to be measured; emit, he bvya--St. Louts Repwblie. Nye's Favorite Story.

Ard this does not take into account the increase of consumption in the eighteen years, the supply of which was also preserved to our farmers by, the National Policy Tariff. GRAINS, FLOUR AND MEAL.

This, as in the case of hog products, does not take into account the increase of consumption during eighteen years, also supplied by the farmers of Canada. If instead of cotnparing the years 1878 and 1894, we take the whole importa- tion in periods of six years, the first of them immediately before the National Policy was adopted, the results are as follows :- Imports of Grains. Flour and Meal. rotal Bushels. Average Bushels. Six years --July, 1873, to J1rne, 1879 Six years -July, 1879, to J une, 1885 Six years -July, 1885, to June, 1891 Fouryears-July, 1891, to June, 1895 55,084,175 9,180,696 26,409,22 4,401,537 24,904,000 4,150,667 9,765,866 2,441,466 It appears that'the National Policy Tariff immediately took effect, reducing the average importations to little more than half of what they had been pre- viously, and this decrease was maintained tor the third six-year period. For the last four years the importations again decreased enormously, which was largely due to the raising of the duty on wheat flour from 50 cents to 75 cents a barrel in the Customs Tariff Act of 1890. This,secured to our *heat growing farmers the home market in the Maritime Povinces, which had previously been supplied by the millers and farmers of the United States, as was also par- tially the case with the Province of Quebec. In the sixteen years under the National Policy these importations amounted to 61,079,088 bushels, being 96,717,152 bushels less than they would have been if the average of 1878 had been maintained, and consequently that quantity was added to the hone market of our farmers ; the value, even calculated at the average prices of 1895, when breadstu(s all over the world were low, being over 850,000,000. Other articles of farm produce were similarly affected, but these two classes hogroducts and hreadstuffs, are salient examples of the benefit derived by our farmers from the N.P. In the one year 1895, Canadian farmers had an additional home market of 13,457,931 lbs. of hog products Ind 7,288,142 bushels of grain, flour and meal, the value being close on $5,000,000 for the year, and this was directly due to our present tariff. BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THEM. The ever slaving farmer's wife, her delicate sister in the city, suffer more than they care to tell. The dark rings round the eyes, headaches, dizziness, palpitation or rheumatic twinges, be- token a run-down system. The blood is poor, and is a bar to enjoyment of life. Scott's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, strengthens and vitalizes the system, and speedily restores the bloom of health to the cheeks. 1t cures when all others fail. An interesting note of the new method of reckoning time introduced only a few years ago, and which it can- not he said has come as yet into very common use, i9 contained in the fol- lowing notice taken from a Winnipeg paper : "Two trains will arrive from the east this evening, the first one at 18.25 o'clock with nothing but excur- sionists, and the second at 20.50 o'clock with ordinary passengers and a num- her of excursionists," TO CONSUMPTIVES.

Patrons of newspapers seam to forget also that if a paper expresses opinions with which they do not agree its columns are al- ways open to those who differ from it.

Of course such a pa- per would he simplya nonentity, hut it would have no enemies. The enemies of a paper will always do more against than its friends will ever do for it.

The "New Woman" Not In It. With all her freaks and fads the "New woman" does not commence to enjoy the same comfort with her man- nish clothing that a man does. For she will almost always sacrifice comfort for style and effect, while with a pian comfort comes first.
