WHEN TO REST.
JKhpn the sun sinks low iu tbo western Bky

Labor is lor the light.
Go jsjj1i tatThands, and sav, with a smile:
TfiareCwon my rest for aTJttle while:
Good night, my work irood night?
Many a trouble a man must bear;
But the day is time for thought and care
The day for watch or fight.
When.tho key is turned in the storo then say:
To-niorrow will be another day;
"Worry, good night! good night! .
Anger may meet us the whole day long,
Forthe good must still resist the wroag,
The true fight for their right;
But'oh. when tho shadows of evening fall,
Tho spirit of gentle peaco recall.
And Bay to the wrong: "Good night!
For an hour or two let all thought cease,!
Be glad in the household joy and peace,
Rejoice in Its love and light;
Then sleep, but first with a kind heart ay:
"For the holp you have given me all the day.
Tired hands and feet, good night!"
"Good night my soul, for I can not know.
While my body sleeps, where thou wilt go,
All space and reason ecorning;
Dutthee may all good angels keep,
And fill with holy dreams my sleep,
Until we snv 'good morning!'

A REMAEKABLE CAT.
the Part it Played In a Lover's
Reconciliation.
Perhaps the reader has heard of tho
town of Soskowigli, Ind., commonly
pronounced "Sosky11 by its inhabit
ants. It is nothing but a country
town, and like most country towns has
its local "character" its odd genius.
The odd genius in this one happened
to be Malachi Dill, usually called
"Uncle Malachi." A good old man
was Uncle Malachi, and eke a Quaker.
He was born in the village, and had
lived there all his life except a period
of about six months, during which he
had paid a visit to some relatives of his
who lived in New England an adven
ture of which Uncle Malachi was never
tijpd of talking. His face, seamed and
wrinkled by many a year of toil,
beamed with benevolence and good
will. Good old man, I seem to see
him yet, walking down somo shady
lane in "Sosky," smiling and bowing
to his acquaintances, clad in snuff-colored
garments of ancient cut, with his
white beaver hat, his large buckled
shoes and his red bandana flung to the
breeze from its retreat in his coat-tail
pocket Uncle Malachi had not an
enemy. Good old soul, he had never
Bpokcn an unkind word to man or
beast The very birds loved him and
fluttered to meet him, sure of getting
their fill of crumbs and cherries. It
was a pretty sight to sec him taking his
stroll of a sunny afternoon, little chil
dren chirping round him, little birds
chirping above him.
Uncle Malachi had threa loves his
cat, Mike, his garden, and his daughter
Dorothy.
This cat was the wonder of the vil
lage. "Mike" was a name used only
by intimate friends aud near relatives.
His full court title, and that used by
the vulgar herd, was "Dark Michael
Schleni" a name given him far back
in his early youth by some unknown
benefactor, and which was peculiarly
appropriate, inasmuch as it had been
borne b- a certain Russian Chief
of Police remarkable for great
sagacity and penetration. Mike was
not attractive at first sight It
was whispered that in his youth he had
been noted for his manly, or rather
tom-catly grace and beaut'. But the
meridian of his charms, so to speak, had.
passed. His tail was gone. Likewise
one eye. His left ear, too, had a for
lorn appearance probably mournful
at the absence of its mate, which had
been lost in the same unlucky fray in
which the tail had vanished. "Portions
of his hide had also becy denuded of
the covering with which nature had
provided it But Mike's lofty soul
soared above these petty vexations.
His friends soon forgot his rather du
bious plrysical appearance in admira
tion of his rare intellectual qualities.
There was in his every action such an
indefinable air of mystery, of precon
ceived and elaborate design, and a
mien, withal, of such lofty and serene
dignity, that not only was the beholder's
wonder and surprise aroused, but his
respect was commanded as well. No
one, probably, was more thoroughly
impressed with the abilities of this re
markable animal than Uncle Malachi.
Sometimes, after indulging in several
cups of triple-strength tea, which was
Uncle Malaria's sole weakness if tea
of such strength can be called
weakness he had been known
to say, with much empressement,
"Michael, "thou art a wonderful
cat;" which remark was plainly un
derstood by Mike, for, though at the
time mewing in a deprecating manner,
bs though disclaiming all pretensions
to greatness, it was nevertheless ob
served that for some hours thereafter
his natural hauteur would be largely
increased. He was not on the best
terms with Miss Dorothy. There was
a certain youthful giddiness and flip
pancy about her which did not meet his
approval. True, he always treated her
with courtly politeness in considera
tion of her father's feelings, but never
theless there was a considerable cold
ness between them.
If he had not, however, been utterly
impervious to the attractions of female
beauty, this coldness could never have
existed. There surely never was a
more charming bit of femininity than
Miss Dorothy. Her wealth of nut
brown hair, her little snub nose, her
gleaming teeth, her shell-tinted ears,
her sparkling, dancing eyes, her dainty
waist all made up a picture of butter
flv beauty as delightful as it was lova
ble. But little Miss Dorothy was no
shallow-minded doll. She had a heart
of sterling purity and nobility, and in
herited from her father the grave and
gentle sweetness of disposition which
characterizes the Quakers.
Miss Dorothy had that indispensable
possession of every truly sensible
young lady a lover.
Edward Wadham had not been in the
village for a long time. His home was
there, but he had been away at college,
and now returned for the first time in
five years. He was surprised to find
thathis former playmate and partner
in the mud-pie business had grown to
be a very charming and self-posssssed
little woman. He was a great curly
haired, black-eyed rollicking giant and
the first thing he did was to fall in love
with dainty Dorothy Dill, and she re
turned the compliment warmly. In a
very short time, therefore, they were
talking of love in a cottage, and devis
ing financial plans of surprising acute
ness for the economical administration
and occupation of said cottage.
Miss Dorothy was now walking in
her father's garden awaiting the ap
proach of Mr. Wadham. The garden
was a good spot for a lover's trysting
place. It was inclosed on three sides
cy a. high stone wall and on the fourth
by the house. Shade trees were dotted
around, and sweet smelling flowers
filled the space between tho trees. So
"completely was the sky obscured by
the foliage that the place seemed to be
augoral cavern rather than a garden,
fhjs little garden was Uncle Malachi's
ecaliar care and pride. Here he was
W$6t$nied to spend a considerable
jjfirt of his time, sometimes spading
and hodng, watering plant here, pull
ing up a weed there encouraging
tome timid bud, or sitting under
oni of the treef attended by his
guide, philosopher, and friend, the re
doubtable Mike, alternately caressing
that noble animal and taking mighty
draughts of Young Hyson.
Pretty soon Moss .Dorothy heard a
familiar step on the walk outside, arid
immediately began to manifest deep
interest in a rose she held in her hand
pulling the petals aside, looking care
fully between them one by one, turning
the flowers upside down and gazing
anxiously at the lower side, and alto
gether giving the beholder the idea
that she had lost a large sum of money
and strongly suspected that it had
found lodgment in the depth of the
rose. In consequence of this -absorbing
occupation she was greatly sur
prised when two hands covered her
eyes and two lips kissed hers with a
sounding smack.
"O! O! Who" is it?" exclaimed this
poor bewildered maiden.
"It's only me," said Ned, removing
his hands from her eyes, under the fond
impression that he was giving her a
great surprise.
"0,.then, I don't mind," said she,
with such a radiant blush that Tie found
it necessary to repeat a certain part of
his former proceedings which part I
won't say.
Then his arm and her head assumed
tho conventional attitude, -and they
walked around the garden, chatting
volubly.
"You don't know how lonely I've
been since you went away yesterday,1'
said she.
"Too bad, too bad," said he sooth
ingly. "Yes, andl've got tho loveliest idea'
said she, with sudden animation. I
went to the store to-day, and they" have
got the prettiest wall paper. It's made
to represent platters and prates and
knives and forks. Now wouldn't it bo
perfectly splendid to put that in the
dining room; so appropriate you
know."
"Yes, and I've got one, too," and
he, struck with a brilliant idea, "Let's
get a lot of pictures of fruit and game,
and everything of that kind, and hang
them around on the walls. What do
you think of that?"
"Splendid," she said. "But O ! O !
Let's have the floor covered with Tur
kish rugs ornamented with figs, and
chickens, and venison, and cherries,
and everything. That would be
awful nice. The rugs would only cost
about twenty dollars a piece, and ten
of them would easily cover the dining
room." "Well, but my dear," said Ned, du
biously, "Wo can't stand the expense.
Just think of it two hundred dollars
for one room."
"O, well, never mind the expense on
the dining-room," said she. "Don't
you know, somo great person, Oscar
Wilde, or somebody, says well, some
thing or another, I don't exactly re
member what anyway, it meant that
you ought to make the dining-room
pleasant, even if you don't fix the rest
of the house so well."
"Oscar Wilde may be all right, but
we can't put two hundred dollars into
the dining room, that's certain. A
carpet will do just as well,and wouldn't
cost an eighth of the money."
"Well, but I don't want a carpet I
want rugs. I think I might have my
own way once in a while."
"I'm willing you should havo your
own way to a reasonable extent, but
this is too much. We'll have a carpet,
that's flat"
"And I say we'll have rugs," said
tho demure maiden, with sudden anger.
"And I say a carpet," said he equal
ly angry."
"Rugs !"
"Carpets !"
"Very well, sir, you can have what
ever you desire," said she, with sudden
and blood-curdling calmness. "I don't
want to marry a man with such an
awful temper. Here is your ring."
"Thank you, madam, and here is
yours. Good-day."
He turned on his heel and left her,
while she, after gazing at his receding
form with grcat indignation, ran hastily
up to her own room.
Mike had observed this scene from
his lofty eyrie in one of tho trees with
feelings of increasing amazement and
alarm. This loud bickering and alter
cation shocked his ideas of dignity and
decorum. Why these vociferous re
marks? Why this sudden parting? As
a friend of the family he deemed it best
to follow and investigate the doings of
his young mistress. So he stepped un
obtrusively into her room, and, taking
up his station on the hearth-rug,
watched the development of events.
Miss Dorothy marched straight up to
her room and sat down. Here she
resigned herself to angrj- recollections
of the late interview. It was all over
now between her and Ned, and she
told herself she was glad of it And
vet how handsome and proud he
looked, with his face pale as death and
his swelling nostrils and shining eyes,
and how clear and ringing his voice
sounded. After all, what was it they
had quarreled about? A mere noth
ing whether they should have a car
Eet or rugs on the floor. And he had
een right too. Two hundred dollars
was too much for one room. She
ought to have deferred to his opinions,
anyway. Was it not his right to com
mand? How obstinate and unreasona
ble she had ieen. Poor fellow, he
must be feeling awful bad. May be he
would kill himself, or become a mis
anthrope, or something awful. Merely
as a matter of charity it might be best
for her to yield in this instance yes,
merely as a matter of charity. Not
that she cared anything about a recon
ciliation herself O no. So she wrote
him a note:
Ned: Somebody is awful anjrry now, I
euess. Come buck, darling-. It shall be car
pet, or martini;, or anything you want.
Donr.
She read this over two or three times,
and was beginning to feel quite pleased
with herself in the character of self
sacrificing philanthropist, when she
suddenly happened to ask herself how
he would receive her note. Probablv,
after reading it he would say, with'a
complacent smirk:
"Poor fool, how she adores me.
Come back, darling.' Ha, ha!"
And then he would saunter into the
garden with negligent ease, and after
receiving her penitent confession, for
give her and graciously allow her to
renew the engagement Horrible!
And Miss Dorothy threw the letter into
the grate and left the room.
Mike saw the episode of the letter,
and concluded he would look at it more
closely, so he pawed it out of the grate
and began to examine it Something
in the way the paper was twisted struck
his latent sense of humor, and with a
sudden accession of youthful spirits he
began to worry and chase it around the
room. Finally, becoming tired of this
sport, he jumped up on the window-sill
to rest from his arduous labors. The
paper, however, stunk tn lii ninwe nd
went up with him. This annoyed him,
andhe began to claw at it finally being
successful in jerking it off, whence it
flew down into tho street Ned Wad
ham happened to be passing at this mo
ment and the note fell directly in front
of him. His heart gave a grcat bound
as he stooped to pick it up. He scanned
its contents in a moment and then
looked up at the window. Seeing noth
ing there but a rather disreputable
looking tom-cat he concluded that
Dorothy had thrown the note at him
mnd hidden herself.
Wild with joy he rushed into the gar
den, and seeing ! thy" tb&Rgf&ll
down on his knees before her and cried
out:
"Dody, Dody, darling, forgive me.
I was wrong, all wrong. It shall be
rugs nothing but rugs. We'll paper
the walls with rugs if you'll only say
the word."
She, imagining that he had-taken the
first step, raised him up, threw herself
into his arms, and
I draw the veil on what followedand
will only remark that they never found
out the mistake, compromised on wax
floors, and had no more quarrels.

BIG GUNS.
How They Are Made at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard.
Not an anvil stroke nor even the
monotonous blowing of a forgo bel
lows greets the ear as one walks
through the vast iron-works into which
the navy yard has been turned by the
action of Congress on the recommenda
tion of the Secretary of the Navy. And
yet there are close upon one thousand
men handling the metal which has
given its name to the present ago.
Iron and steel are to be seen in every
stage of manufacture, from the forge
and foundry to the finishing shops".
The principal feature of interest a)
present is the construction of the steel
cannons for the new cruisers. Nearly
three hundred men are employed in
the Ordnance Department, the main
work of which is these guns. These
are of four sizes, five, six; eight and
ten-inch bore and twelve feet six
inches, fifteen, twenty and twenty-six'
feet long. The process through which
they pass is astonishingly complicated
to tho uninitiated. Tho forged shafts
are prepared away from here and
brought here in a more or less rough1
state. The two larger sizes are im-
Eorted from Europe, and come rough-,
ored and turned, this being necessary?
to enable the tempering to be done at'
the place where they are forged. The1
others are turned out in tho rough by.
the Midvale Steel Works, Pennsylvania,
and are rough-bored and turned he,re,
being returned
to the works again to-
have the "oil
temper" given them,'
without which they would burst at the1
first discharge.
When returned here they are bored
out to within one-eighth of an inch of
their final internal diameter. The
"jacket," a cylindrical pieco of iron,
made about, eight-one hundredths of an
inch smaller than the main barrel, and
after having been heated to a degree
just below that required to change the
color of the metal, in the language ofi
the forgo to a "black heat," is then,
shrunk on. The shrinkage on cooling
is sufficient to perceptibly decrease the!
caliber of the shaft or cone by com
pressing the heavy forged steel. All
the processes of turning and boring
have to be very slowly performed when;
steel is being worked, and thirty inches;
a day is the average rate at which a
six-inch gun is bored out The first cut
is five 'inches and a quarter, subsequent
rimming-out increasing it to near the
required diameter. The rifling is done
with a shaft constructed in the yard
as are nearly all the machines used.
Outside the jacket, which extends
from the breech about one-third the
length of the gun, are placed a number
of steel rings passing beyond it, and to.
about one-half of the total length.'
These are also shrunk on. All of the
surfaces which are thus brought into
contact under such a tremendous press-,
ure are carefully ground to as near as
possible an absolutely true cylindrical
shape, and are, therefore, in actual!
contact for their whole extent. During"
all of the handling after the first bor
ing a core is placed in the gun, with'
the double object of preserving the
shape intact and forming a lathe cen
ter. The process of boring and turn
ing the outer surface can be carried on
simultaneously by an improved double
lathe, in use and manufactured in tho;
yard. The exact cost of each gun ie
kept, every man's time being charged
to the work he is actually engaged
upon and the cost of the material and
handling being also accurately com
puted. Philadelphia News.

CANADA'S FUR TRADE GONE.
How the Indians Killed the Herds on the
Prairie.
The Indians used only to kill such
buffaloes as they could use, and did
what they could to protect the herds;
but ever since the prairies of the North
west have been crossed by railways
two causes havo led to the extermina
tion of the buffalo: The occupation of
their grazing grounds for agriculture
or pasture and their indiscriminate
slaughter for their hides and bones
alone. There is now believed to be not
a single herd of wild buffaloes upon the
prairies of Dakota or Minnesota, where
they once wandered in thousauds. Last
year there were but 10,000 robes handled
in St Paul, where in 1881 100,000 robes
were'turned over, and this yeaf the en
tire trade has amounted to four robes.
It is believed that the only remnants of
these mighty herds, and of the thou
sands that once thronged the Canadian
Northwest, are a few thousand animals,
scattered about the vicinity of the
Woody' Mountains, in the Northwest.
In Montreal, where the trade was of
far greater importance and of a more
ancient date than in St. Paul, the same
thing has come to pass, but under
somewhat different circumstances. Up
to five or six years ago the trade sales"
of the Hudson Bay Company were held
here, and from thirty thousand to
eighty thousand robes were disposed of,
but since that period the population of
the Northwest has so increased that it
requires all the robes. The robes which
have been used in old Canada for some
years past have been, comparatively
speaking, obtained from the more
southerly prairies of the United States,
where the buffalo is still to be found
in somewhat limited and constantly
decreasing numbers. In fact, of late
years Canada has entirely ceased to be
a fur exporting and has become a
great fur-importing country. This is
artially due to the fact that of
ate Asiatic furs and sealskins
have been the favorites of fash
ion, for we have an immense ter
ritory to the north of us which will al
ways produce certain furs, and but
little else. The buffalo and the buffalo
robe have, however, practically speak
ing, as far as new supplies of the latter
are concerned, become a thing of tha
past and their place has been taken by
the Texas steer and sole-leather. Mon
treal used to appear in ourgeographiei
as "the chief seat of the fur trade." It
is but a few years since we had many
large wholesale houses. These have
gradually disappeared, and the former
retail dealers take the lead in the busi
ness, of which the volume is smaller
and the stock more precious. The
time was when a beaver skin was tha
unit of exchange, and might count for
one dollar; now a good beaver SKin
will bring ten
dollars. Montreal

The wild animals of the West which
have vivified the small bov's visions of
the Rockies are slowly disappearing.
In California bears arc not so abundant
and are less hunted than formerly,
perhaps because only the veteran bear
hunter finds it safe business. The cin
namon bear is found only occasionally,
and the grizzly is slowly disappearing.

WHY CHIMNEYS SMOKE.
A, Familiar. Domestic Evil and How It
Slay be Cared.
Many persons object to open fire
places for burning wood or soft coal on
account of their liability to fill with
smoke the rooms they are intended to
warm. A writer in a paper devoted to
the construction of houses, in discussing
I the question "Why do Our Chimneys
Smoke?" says:
"As a matter of fact they never do
it is the wood that smokes! We make
this statement not by way of facetious
ness, but to bring the discussion to a
striatly scientific basis. Since the new
birth of the open wood fire, the old ques
tion of how to coax the smoke to go
straight up the chimney-flue, at all
times and under all circumstances, has
come again to the front; and the old
controversy as to the relative magnitude
of two stupendous but familiar domes
tic evils is liable to be revived. It is
not our purpose to give here and now
all the infallible rules by which one of
these and doubtless the minor can bo
cured, or, better still, prevented, but
simply to refer to one of the common
reasons why smoke from a fire on the
hearth falls out into the room oc
casionally, if not constantly, in
stead of going up to the skies," where
it belongs. Having stated that
chimneys never smoked, it may be weH
to observe that they never "draw"
either. Whatever goes up the chimney
from Thomas Hood's chimney-sweep
to the steam from the kettle nose is
poked up from behind. Of course, this
amounts to the same thing practically
as being drawn up, but it is well to re
member that the same pushing force
will just as readily lift air, shavings,
ashes, steam, or anything else that
comes in its way as smoke. The point
therefore, is to so arrange the throat of
the chimney that the smoke shall be
caught first, and, like proud Koran's
troop, be swallowed up before it has a
chance to spill ofer into the room and
before something else can be crowded
into its place. Left to its own devices, it
would fall out of the fire-place and run
over the floor like water. As the air
in the -room happens to be usually
cooler and, therefore, heavier than that
in the fire-place, it forces the latter up
ward and the smoke with it. Now, the
tendency of the smoke, as soon as it is
lifted against the back wall of the
fire-place, is to fall forward, and this
tendency is favored by the curving back
against which it ascends. There is no
objection to this curve, which seems to
keep the smoke within bounds, and it
doubtless radiates more heat than if it
stood erect, but the one point which
should be insisted upon is that the faco
of this curve along which the smoko
rises should strike, if it were continued
(which it is not, being cut off by the
broad throat of the flue), several inches
above the lintel at the top of the fire
place opening. The smoke is then fairly
caught in the ascending current of warm
air ajid carried up and away.
A smoking fire-place may often be
cured without any change of flue or
chimney by simply bringing down the
top either with a row of bricks or tiles,
or by a piece of metal fitted in between
the jams. And this cure is effected not
because tho fire-place was originally too
large or too shallow to "draw," but be
cause the proper provision had not been
made for entrapping the smoke and
turning it into the rising stream of warm
air. Chicago Times.
WAYS THAT ARE DARK.
How Mr. William Lorenzo Smith Defraud,
ed a Detroit Capitalist.
The other morning a young man
pretty well dressed and quite extensively
adorned with jewelry entered the office
of a Detroit capitalist and introduced
himself as William Lorenzo Smith,
formerly of New York, but just at pres
ent a resident of Michigan on account
of the disbandment of a theatrical troupe
in which he was a leading star.
"Yes I see exactly so," replied tho
capitalist, in icy tones.
"I was recommended to come to you
for a loan of fifty dollars," continued
the young man.
"Indeed! Very kind of some one! I
am not in the habit of loaning fifty dol
lars to every stranger who applies."
"But I will certainly return it as soon
as I reach New York."
"Very likclv, but I must refuse to
lend it.'
"Do you take me for a dead-beat?"
asked the young man.
"O, no; but if I were in jour place
I'd raise some cash on that big gold
watch-chain and diamond-pin before
trying to borrow of a stranger. You
ought to have no trouble in raising ono
hundred dollars that wa."
"I suppose not, though they are keep
sakes and I hate to part with them.
Nevertheless, it doesn't seem right to
wear them while I am dead broke. If I
had fif "
Here he paused and detached the
chain from his watch and removed the
pin and laid them down.
"lam not in the pawnbroker busi
ness," said the capitalist, "but you can
send for these articles any time without
paying interest. Here's the fifty dol
lars you want."
The young man had been gone an
hour when a friend came in, observed
the articles, and after a brief inspection
remarked:
. "You must be about the tenth man he
truck.'
"How what?"
"Young man busted troupe wants
to get to New York. Thats a washed
chain, and this diamond is only glass!"
A call at a jeweler's proved that such
was the case. Detroit Free Press.
Natural Wonders.
Did you oversee a well forty feet deep,
lined throughout with stone, in which
there is hardly a scam, made without
hands? I have and could not credit the
evidence of my senses. There are, so it
Is said, several of these natural wells in
Florida. I question though whether
they are not the handiwork of some
ancient race. Florida is an old country.
It has been the dwelling place and the
lighting place of generations of both red
and white men. It will not do to doubt
the scientists, but if you could see these
natural wells, so called, your first
thought would be, what splendid work
manship! The water in these wells is
always brackish not so with that in
those that areug in the sand. I never
tasted better water in my life than that
in the well just outside my kitchen door,
eool and soft and clear. Florida is not
without its springs of healing, also, and
for many diseases to which mankind is
heir there are waters all the way from
San Matcot to Sanford of various compo
sitions. Sulphur and iron, sulphur and
soda, salt and iron, sulphur and carbo
nate, all adapted to the various disease
of humantty. Our pretty lakes are also
worthy of attention. There is one not
two miles from Palmer called Kanahapa.
The lake is small, but the shore on either
side is studded with live oaks, it maybe
centuries old. These again are envi
roned b3 grand old vines, whose main
stems are as thick as a man's body and
whose interlacing branches mingle with
the rich gray moss that hangs in fes
toons from 'every point of the oaks,
whose long arms stretch a hundred feet
toward the lake. It K in fact a verita
ble fairy bower and well repays the
visitor who sees it by the clear white
rays of the moon. Cor. Sun Francisco

HINDUS AND CHINESE.
The Former Lore tho Ideal, and the Lat
ter tho Practical,
Never did opposing qualities and de
fects establish a wider gulf bclweeu two
races. During the four or live thousand
years which make up her history, China
offers us the unique spectacle, as it
seems to me, of a society fouuded upon
a purely human-basis without prophet,
without Messiah, without rovealer, with
out mythology; of a society calculated
for temporal well-being and the good
organization of this world, and for noth
ing else. India, on thg other hand,
shows us a not less surprising spectacle
of a race exclusively speculative, living
by the ideal, building its religion and Its
literature in the clouds, without any In
termingling elements drawn from his
tory or reality. The characteristic feat
ure of the Chinese mind 13 a negation of
the supernatural; what it can not un
- derstand does not exist for it India, on
the contrary, absorbed in the contem
plation of the infinite, has exhausted her
activity in the creation of an exuberant
mythology and innumerable systems of
metaphysics. Nor has the study of na
ture, of man, or of history ever seemed
to her worthy to check her thought for
an instant. China is indisputably, of all
countries, that which possesses the best
ordered and the most abundant archives.
Since the twelfth century before the
Christian era she has stored up, dynasty
by dynasty, and almost year by year, the
official documents of her history, the
decrees of her sovereigns, the rules of
her administration. India, so prodig
iously fruitful in everything else, has not
a line of history. She has reached
modern times without believing that the
real is ever worth writing down. This
present life is for the Chinese the only
aim of human activity. For tho Indian
it is but au episode in a series of exist
ences. On one side you have a bour
geois and reasonable race, narrow as
common sense is narrow; on the other,
a race devoted to the infinite dreamy,
absorbed, and lost in its own imagina
tions. Nor are the physical character
istics of both less strikingly contrasted.
The bright oblique eye, the flat nose,
the short ueek, the cunning look of the
Chinese, indicate the man of common
sense, well trained in the affairs of this
world; the noble outline of tho Indian,
his slim figure, his broad, calm brow, hfc
deep, tranquil eye, show us a race made
for meditation," and destined, even by
its very errors, to provide us with a
measure of the speculative power of
humanity. Mact'illaii's Magazine.
The Scottish Language.
In adjectives of quah'V Scotch is ex
tremely rich. Many of them are remark
ably expressive. To give their meaning
in English it is requisite to use in many
cases several words. Gruesome, eerie,
weirdlike, for example, have in English
no exact equivalents; their meaning can
be expressed only by a periphrase. The
mora frequent terminations for deriv
ative articles are ie, fu, some, less, ish;
as couthie. kindly, carefu', careful,
waesome, woeful, thochtless, fairish,
pretty good. Others are if and le, as
wauliif, wakeful, kittle, difficult, smittle,
infectious. After the comparative de
gree, nor, as and be are used instead of
than. Be with an adjective in the posi
tive degree gives an emphatic compar
ative. Young be you means decidedly
younger. Beside " verra, very, several
other words are used to express the su
perlative absolute, such as real, richt,
unco, byous. Real, richt or unco gude
is particularly good. Unco is often used
in the sense of the old word imcouth,
unknown. Ross in his "Helenore" has
an unco din she hears of fouk and play.
Byous, though said to belong to Aber
deenshire, is used over a much wider
area, and signifies exceedingly out of
the common run. The middle east
coast dialect has for its strongest form
of comparison the peculiar phrase by
the eyes, which is probably a corruption
of the by the byous. A thing is said to
be by the byous when it possesses the
quality referred to in a preposterous de
gree, or in a degree beyond all manner
of conception. Fel and gey are also
used iu comparisons, and signify
moderately, fairishly, but sometimes
very, or exceedingly. In Perthshire,
Fife, Forfarshire, etc., That's fel guid,
means exceedingly good. Sair, very, is
used with a touch o? compassion. The
plurals of this and that are thare and
thay. Where the Englishman uses
these the Scotch use those. Instead ol
you Scotch has thou. It and us are
aspirated chiefly when emphatic. Mines
is used for mine, and the old North En
glish relative at is retained The verb
presents several peculiarities. Where
the English used ed or d as the termi
nation for the past tense, or for the past
participle, Scotch uses very frequently
it or t. Thus slipped is slippit, talked,
talkit, licked, lickit, wondered, wunn'rt.
Told, again, is telt On the other hand,
slept is often sleeped, went, gaed, and
saw, seed; bent is bendt, and gone is
often went Let and put, again, make
in the past lat and pat, and in the past
participle latten and patten. For the
men came, you were, Scotch has the
men cum'd and you was or wes. Beside
the gerund or verbal now in ing it has
also the old present participle in and.
Instead of the auxiliary do it has div and
dow; for shall, sal, for have, hae and for
must, maun. Negative sentences are
generally formed by using the sufflx na,
or the word no. Dinna gang, A canna,
Div ye no ken? Didna ye see't? Ye
maunna do it, mean Do not go, I can
not, Do you not know? Did you not
see it? You must not do it lor shall
I? wull a? is used, and for will not,
wnnna. Wha's aucht that? is a curious
phrase meaniug whose is that? Aucht
is from the Anglo Saxon agan, ahan, to
own, or to make to own, and is used by
Chaucer. Scottish Beview.
Too Much Study.
The Christian-at-Work thinks the cur
rent boy and girl study too hard, and it
calls for less intellectual food and more
digestion. It says:
"With our school children bending
over school benches the first week of
September, not to stand up straight
again till July blows her hot furnace
blasts; with the teacher, almost ap
palled, addressing herself to the year's
work that lies before her; with the se
vere demands that our modern educa
tional processes make upon one side of
the boy's nature, leaving his other side
severely alone, we arc bringing up a
race of abnormally developea children,
sharpened at one" corner and rounded
off at all the others the beginning of
the school year may well carry the
measure of "terror that it does for so
many. We need to give less time to
mental cram and cerebral culture, and
more to rounding or developing the
boy or girl; and so education would be
come less the awful task that the young
student finds it to be, and life would
lose nothing of importance and high
purpose in adding to the sum of its
xest"

She was a remarkably sensible

conning over epitaphs, might distract
her, but be laid away to take her hist
