The Last merit contest.
The strife is over, the work is done,
No more will our minde on couteete run
'No more will our duties be laid aside
Wo look for wordl3 in the eventide,
.In the eventide did I sayAli, no,
But from morning till night wherever we go
The papers and books are lying around
Not a thing in its place eau ever be found.

"It'a our Ancient History and I'm sure there'a a

Of pure English words by Webster not givsn."
8o we have to Submit with a quiet sigh
luad long for the day when the papers will lie

On their perilous journey whate'er be the end.
After a week of this thing, or so ;
The precious papers are ready to go
To the post. Ali, long -remembered day
When that wonderful list was sent away.
"According to rules" they always went,
So a dollar of course, with their words was sent,
But they did not grudge it when a wise one said
Just think of the prize WO will get in its
stead."
Aod now all is quiet naain and serene,
(At least as far as can be seen,)
But in truth the work has not lessened a mite
For they talk about it from morning till night
They wonder and guess what the prize will be
Although on the subject they never agree,
But that doos not matter a bit, Oh, no
As their merry laughter will clearly show.
But this state of things does not last for long,
And a month or so pute an end to their song,
When again they begin with redoubled force,
For the Oonapetition has run its course.
The day after this they receive a card,
The contents of which to econe may seem hard,
For it said that if they would Rend a quarter
The prize would be sent a day or two after.
fit first they tavit doubtful and think it too
much,
But the thought of the ptize gives the finishing
touch.
So they willinely send with great expectation,
Never thinking of postage and registration.
The prize isexpooted every day,
But alas, no prize has come thie way;
They begin to think the' have been overlooked,
Or that their name was not properly booked.
So about two weeks after they sand a letter
To learn the particulars of the matter,
In answer to which a card is received,
Which has greatly their anxious fears relieved
It was very short and very polite,
But on the subjee'. it threw some light,
For it told them in writing, bold and clear,
In the course of a week the prize would be hero.
About the fifth day, jut as dinner is ready.

They all crowd around him until he produces

For then lies—a five-cout pickle fork.

Mr. Mulack atetee that a few minutes

He had intended to quote the statement
from the Empire, but the paragraph referr-
ing to that partiouler matter had been
clipped out. But he would take another
undoubted authority for it. Acaording to
the Herald, of Halifax, he had said that
the outlying provinces held the labium of
power. Those email provinces were in El
position to claim the very highest con-
sideration at the hendemf the Government

do something this session toward imireas•

Mr. Sproule was riot surprised at the
membere of the legal profession wishing to
see the salaries at judges increased. He
thought they were paid as well as men in

Mr. Girouard thought the jadges were
underpaid. • It weal e shame that some
jadgee were compelled to do extra work in

Mr. Campbell (Kent) said the legal men

ingly telling the House that the eateries of
judges were too low. As a whole, he did
not believe the judges were overworked.

Mr. Wallace said it was an extraordinary
coincidence that newsy gentlemen who
advocated incresteed salaries for judges
were likely soon to appear before the court
on election trials. (Laughter.) He did
not think their notion would influence the
judges, hut the public might take that
view. He knew ot no judge who left the

yeneg Kum Milan stopped at the fine old
ciaole on the leruth of Colonel ICeonko•
lieebko received the young ruler a Servia
in royal style. Milan devoted hitnself
excleetvely to Natalie from the very mo
meat at iotroduotion. She wile then
between 16 and 17 years of age, and wee
noted for her hardy over nearly the whole
empire.
The attentionof her royal suitor the
receeved with marked coldness. 1312e had
set her affections on a young Russian
officer ; but the marriage took place in the
enamor of 1875, and Nateelie threw herself
with the utrnout entlinehtem into the camel
of her new country when war was deolared
against Turkey the following spring.
At the ohne of the War Berme was free
and powerful, and Natalie had become at
mother, the child being thrietened Alexan-
der. He was born August 14th, 1876.
All the inborn depravity in Milan's
nature now began to develop itself. Natalia
soon had cause to reproaoh her husband
with the eatindalons life he was leading.
This'according to one at of chroniolere,
led bine to set a trap for his wife,
the result of which should leave her
reputation very little better than hie
own. One day, the story goes, ehe re.
eeived a visit from the Metropolitan
Bishop Miohael, who said he oame in
answer to a note the had sent him. She
was indignant and declared tint a 001:1-
epiraey was on foot to destroy her. The
Ring's minions were °lose at hand and the
Bishop was arrested for alleged ineimaey
with the Queen. At the same time the
King applied to the Synod. Natalie, while
protesting against tlae insult, decided for
the sake of her child to prove her inno-
cence, but atter this she never lived with
him.
Natalie never went near Milan until one
day in 1884, when she besought clemency
for some soidiera who lead revolted. He
eturned her the brutal answer that they
should be pardoned if she would oome and
live at the paha and be chambermaid to
one of the women he was then maintaining
around bins.
xeow Baby Killed Museentouchit.
There was one word the little girl heard
many times a day. The word Wee Musson-
ionchit.
Baby woudered who Mussentortobit could
be. The etrange thing lived in the bureau
drawers.
It lived in the sewing machine.
It lived in the tall jar that stood on the
little round table.
It certanly lived in the glom globe where
the gold &hen swam.
Thus went on till baby was 2 yeers old.
There was no word she heard so often as
the long, queer word, Maosentotichn.
Muasentouoltit was everywhere—in the
shining books on the parlor table; in the
flower.beds ; among the roma ; even in
mamma's work•baeket the &lenge
thing lived; and if baby bot took up a
reel of silk or cotton, there was hluesen-
tottohit.
One day baby found herself by the glass
globe all alone. Ihe family were very busy,
and for a few minutee forgot the little,
prying, rainless darling. This was her
chance. Up went the chubby lege:
into the chair that stood near the
goldfish globe., Ponied on the rounding
cushion, baby reached far over totouch
the goldfieh. In reaching she lost her
balance and fell, dragging the globe to the
floor. There was a mann a scream, a rush,
and rnarnern Wee on the spot. Beby wee
picked up, kissed and scolded.

How to Bead the Tongue.
The perfectly healthy tongue is clan,
moist, lies loosely in the mouth, is round
at the edge, and has no prominent
papillae. The tongue may be furred from
local awes, or from sympathy with the

tongue occurs most frequently in fever,
and indioatea a nervous protretion or
depression. A white tongue is diagnoatio
simply of the feverieh condition, with
perhaps a dour stomach. When 16 is

ordered digestion. Dry and brown indi-

A Delicate Ill1crophone.9
At a meeting of the Chemists' Assist -
ante' etseodation, J. J. Smith desoribed •
little miorophone which would render
audible the footsteps of a fly. The little
apparatus consists of a box wifsh a sheet of
straw paper stretched on its upper part.
Two carbons, separeted by a morsel of
wood eind connected with the two circuit
wires, ara fastened to et, and a carbon
penoil, placed Or009Wisie between the two, is
kept in this poeition by a groove made in
the latter. A very week battery is then
aufficent to ect the instrument at work, and
when the fly walks over the sheet of paper
it producee vibrations strong enough to re.
act energetically on an ordinary telephone.
