WHAT HARRY MISSED.
There certainly was a misehievone
sparkle in grandmother's eyes, as
she added the last fdw worde to a
note she was writing, folded it up
and put it in an enaelope. In spite
of her gray hair and feeble steps,
grandmother enjoyed a little mis-
chief now and then quite as well as
any of her grandchildren.
"Harry," she said, going to the
door and addressing a boy who was
stretched luxuriously in a hammock
swung across the shady porch, "will
you take this note clown to the
apothecary's for me ? I forgot to
send it. by Zed when he weut to the
store,"
"Oh, grandma 1" and Harry's
face wrinkled up mb a perfect
snarl of frowns. "Need I go now ?
It's so weans."
"You won't find it very warm
riding on your bicycle on the b lady
side of the street," grandmother
answered.
"Can't Zed go when he comes
back 2 I'm just fixed so comfort-
ably 1"
"What's Zed wanted for 2" asked
a cheery voice, and the flushed,
good.humored face of the chore. boy
looked around the end of the porch.
"Here'e the basket of things, Mrs.
Lindsay," lie added, as ho put down
a well filled basket on the steps and
wiped his perspiring face. "Did
you want me for anything, ma'am ?"
he asked.
"I was asking Harry if he would
not go down to the apothecary's fur
/110, bot he doesn't scene inclined,"
Mrs..Lindarty answered.
111 go for you," Zed offered
promptly. "Pll cool off walking
down,"
"Well, Zed, I will let you go if
you will be so kind," grandmother
said after a moment's pause. "Be
sure and do al] the errand, Zed 1"
she called after him nit he reached
the gate.
"Yee're," Zed answered, with a
bewildered look. Didn't he always
do all he was told to ? That caution
sounded as if he had been 213112/811 in
something.
Ho understood tt twenty minutes
later, when after the clerk had put
up the package of spices, ho stepped
around behind the soda fountain,
which Zed had been watching rather
wistfully, thinking how refreshing a
draught of <tool soda would be, and
wondering what Cream Soda'
meant.
"What will you have, sir ?" Aged
the clerk.
"Why, I don't want any soda 1"
stammered Zed, "That it, I'd
like some well enough ; but I have
not got any, money, '
"That's all right," answered the
clerk. "The order in this letter is
to give the bearer a glass of ice
imam soda ; so 1 suppose you
won't object ?"
•, A broad smile illumined Zed's
face, as lie retnembered Mrs, Lind-
injunetion to do all the ereand.
"Strawberry," he said, as prompt.
— - —
ly as if he had been used to order -
Ing ice cream Bode all the days of
his life.
Wasn't it good, though that tall
glom of sparkling soda, with that
delicious me Quid Intim of straw
berry cream floating in it 2 Zed
breathed a sigh of perfect content
as be sat down in his chair and
leisurely dipped out the refreshing
mixture with a dainty long handled
epoun.
Zed was glad that the bowl of the
spoon was so small, because then
the cretins would last so much
loupe.
When he went home grandmother
was sitting on the porch with her
knitting, while Harry still rolled
about in the hammock, having some
paogs of conscience iu regard to his
disobligingness, though grandma tit-
tered never a word of reproach.
"Hero's your package, ma'am,"
Zed said, mind that ioe cream soda
was primo; I'm ever 80 010013 obliged
for it," and he beamed all over at
the remembrance of his unexpected
treat.
"What!" shouted Harry, sitting
upright In the hammock. "Hite
Jenkins got his ice cream soda in,
aud did Zed have some, grandma 2"
"Yes," grandma answered placid
ly, picking up a titch in her knit-
ting that Harry's exclamation had
made her drop. "Part of my order
was that the bearer should have some
ice-cream soda,"
"013, why didn't you tell mo 2"
groaned Harry. "I'd have gone 10
a usinute, grandma, if I had known
that."
"Yes, I have no doubt you would,"
grandma answered, tranquilly ;" but
I thought that the boy who was
willing to do my errand for the sake
of being obliging deeerved the treat."
"Oli, to thiuk what I missed 1"
Harry mourned, as he fell back in
the hammock, and I am afraid he
regretted the lost ice cream soda
more than the fact that he had
grumbled about doing an errand for
dear patient grandma, who was al-
ways devising pleasures for him.
After that, when he was inclined
to grumble over an errand, he re.
membered what he had missed that
day by his unwillingness, and went
at eine ; but he never found ice-
cream soda waiting for him at the
end of his journey, ns Zed did that
afternoon.
That was something he bad
missed 1
THE SLIGNITUDE OP
Ancient Nations, Great Cities and an.
Enormous ropulatIon.
For eighty years at least writers
have endeavored to bring home to
Englishmen the vastness of India,
but, so far as can be perceived, they
have failed. The Briton reads what
they say, learns up their figures,
and understands their description,
but fails, for all his labor, to realize
what India is—a continent as large
as Europe west of the 'Vistula, and
with 80,000,000 more people, fuller
of ancient nations, of great cities, of
varieties of civilization, of arnnes,
nobilities, priesthoode, organizations
of every conceivable purpose, from
the spreading of a great religion
down to systematic murder. There
are twice as many Bengalese as there
are Frenchmen ; the 13 indoostanees ,
properly eo called, outnumber the
whites in the United States; the
Mabrattas would fill Spain ; the
people of the Punjab with Scinde
are double the population of Turkey,
and I have named but four of the
divisions,
F,vorythitag is on the same be-
wildering scale. The fighting people
of India, whose males.; are as big as
ourselves, SS brave as ourselves, and
more regardless of death than our-
selves, number at least 120,000,000,
equal to Gibbon's calculation of the
population of the Roman empire.
There are 400,000 trained brown
soldiers in native service, of whom
we hear perhaps oboe in ten years,
and at least 2,000,000 Men who think
their proper profession is arms; who
would live by arms if they could,
and of whom we in England never
hear a word. If the Prussian eon-
soription were applied in India we
oould, without courting reserves or
]andwelir, or any force not summon-
ed in time of peace, have 2,500,000
soldiers actually in barracks, with
700,000 recruits coming up every
year—a force with which not only
Asia, but the weeld, might be sub -
/hied, There are tense of millions of
prosperous peasants whose hoarding
makes India the grand absorbent of
the precious metals; tens of millions
of peasants ()Hides whose poverty
fellahs, or Sieiliane, or Connaught
men are yiah ; millions of artisans
ranging from the hien who build
palaces to the men who, nearly
naked and almost without tools, do
the humblest work of the potter.

The Toronto Bible Society was
f ruled in 1829 and the Upper
Canada Society iu 1840. Twenty•
num new branches were formed
lest year, thirteen of which were 10
the Northwest. The revenue of
last so -lir was $32,500, au increase
of $1,020 over the former year. The
proceed of sales were $10,848 aud
of contributions $21,488. Seven
oolportenrs iu the year distribut-
ed 27,411 copies of the 'Bible. The
Toronto depository last year sent
out to breeches and, the trade, by
oolporteurs, sold in depository and
gave away 40,961' copies in ming
different languagee. Since its com-
mencement the Upper Canada Bible
8( city has issued 1,400,086 copies,
realizing $678,018 therefor.
The British and Foreign Bible
Society for the year sent out 4,2C6,-
082 Bibles. This represented an
expenditure of $1,251,910. The re-
port shows the work done in each
country throughout the world.
Nearly five thousand copies were
distributed to exiles ou their way to
Siberia. The reports from agents
and colporteurs aro of the most eu•
couraging character.
Last year the Upper Canada
Bible Society employed, for a greater
or less period of time, some 21
agents and 7 oolporteurs. The
treasurer's report last year showed
the total receipts to be $88,588, of
which a balance of $496 remained
on hand, The colporkeurs' sales
were $2,750 and expenses and
salary $2,824. The agents' ex -
pauses were $8,425. To the British
and Foreign Bible Society there
was remitted as contributions $5,-
801, and sent dn purchase account
$12,075. The salaries of the secre-
tary, depositary and assistants were
$8,000. For an illuminated address
to the Queen there was paid $50.
Household Hints.
In washing dishes, pots and pans,
a wisp of broom -corn and a small
quantity of soapy water is handy
and useful in cleaning them from
all bits and grease.

off the liquid and bottle for use.
Olive oil saturated with camphor
makes au excellent application for
inflammatory awellings ; also for
rubbing rheumatic joints.
Do not appropriate the hest room
for a guest chamber. Take that

short, Still, make the room as
cheerfel as possible ; hang the wall
with pictures, and supply such
beautiful things as taste suggests
and means allow.
