THE LITTLE CONFUCIUS,

Me Incident From the Great Philosopher's Chil’ Life.

A very pretty story of the childhood of Be great Chinese sige, Confucius, is told @dapted from a German historical work) & Littl Men and Women. Confucius, it will be remembered, lived nearly 3,000

years ago and for his thme was considered |

s wonderfully wise man. Here is the story:

“One day when be was only 6 the little Confucius was sitting in the gardon alone with his book and his pet kitten. Just the other side of the low hedge which grew between the family «arden and that of the servants he saw the \ittle child of the gar- gener kicking up his heels in the middle of the grass plat, whore its mother had left it. The little Confucius watched the pret- ty child a few minvtes, then returned to bis book. But al! at once as he glanced toward the baby again he saw it making with all its tiny speed toward a hugechina besin full of water, which was always kept there from which to water the flowers. In the space of a momoent the little one crept uw the very edge, spied its own face in the water and popped bead over hvels into the Sesin before Confucius had time to realize the danger.

“*He sprang over the low hedge, scream- ing for help. The little head was still above water, but in an instant sank, and anly a tiny arm and the light dress were b> be seen. The boy, still screaming, ran gound and round the basin, bending as far as he could over the top, trying in vain to catch the little hand. Then he stretched gut both arms toward the setting sun, as i asking help, an’ suddenly a thought came to him as if in answer. Gathering up some big stones lying beside the path be dashed them wit!) all his might against the china basin, which broke at once in pieces like so much glass. The water ran out in streams, and in a moment the child was safe, crying, to be sure, but only from fright.

“The little Confucius was leading him to his mother’s house when he met his own father coming to look for him.

“The boy had never been scolded in his life, but when he thought all at once how costly the great china basin which he had Broken must have been his heart misgaye him. But he told what he had done, and imstead of being reprimanded he found biruself in bis father s arms, and his father aaid, ‘I praise you, wy child!’ ”’

This boy afterward became the great philosopher and moral teacher of his peo- ple, honored by them through more than 38 conturies.

A Queer Weapon.

Th South America the bolas are in con- Mant use among the gauchos, or hords- men, of the Argentine Republic. These wen are of mixe| Indian and Spanish breed, and are chiefly employed. in driv- mg, catching an slaughtering cattle. They are men of «reat strength and en- @arance, expert horsemen, who can use the bolas as well as the lasso with marvel- eas.skill when they wish to single out end secure one particular animal out of a Uyieg herd of wild horses or cattle.

These gauchos are on horseback when they use this formidable weapon; but, as we seo in our illustration, the natives of the country are e (ually skillful in using tbe bolas on foot.

HAVE

CRIPPLED WITH RHEUMATISM.

Mr. Alpheus Mott, an esteemed re- sident of Morewood, Ont., says :—*+For some years past I haye suffered hor- ribly with rheumatism. At times I was so bad that 1 was almost wholly de- prived of the use of my legs, and could only go about with great difilculty. Thad to give up farmiag entirely and removed to Brockville, where i bad the best of medical advice, but with no good results. I also tried many remedies said to be cures for rbeumatism, but with no better results, urged me to try Dr. Willanus’ -Pink Pills, and I decided to do so, and found they were doing me a great deal of good. I then moved to Morewood, where | still continued the use of the pills, steadily gaining in health and strength, until 1 could abandon the use of the cane, without the aid of which I could not before move about. Every ache and pain left me and only those who suffered the terrible pangs of rheumat- ismcan understand the joy I feel at what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done for me.”

A VICTIM OF SCIATICA

Mrs. J. Palmer, now a_ resident cf Forest, but for some thirty-five years a resident of the adjacent township cf Warwick, says:—‘‘I] have for many year: beena great sufferer from sciat- ic rheumatism, being at times+so bad thet I was not able to walk, I tried manv remedies, and while I bad tem- porary aid from some, I received noth- ing in the way of permanent relief. In fact, it seems to be growing steadily worse and for nine months I was fore. ed to use crutches. My sister urged me to use Dr. Williams’ Piok Pills, and they have dine me a wonderful amount of g»:d. The crutches bave been dis- carded. I can go about as easily and feel better than I have felt for years before. I think these Puls a grand medicine.

COULD NOT SLEEP

Mr. }vid R. McKay, the wel!--know

bab: « vf Stellarton, N.S., writes :—--

teel twat [ cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Williams’ Pivk Pills. | was very badly ruu down, could not work and could not sleep at night, My appetite was poor and I was rapidly losing flesh I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was surprised at ‘he rapidity with which they built me up. Ina few weeks my weight increased from 130 t» 149 pcunds. My appetite returned, ' could sieep well, and,could do my work without feeling tired. I always recom- mend Dr. Wiliams Pick Pills to those ailing.

Mrs Geo. Annis, who resides near Orillia, Ont., says:—*+1 thought at one time we were going to lose our eldest daughter. She was run down, weak and had no ambition. She did not suffer any pain, but just appeared to be slow- ly wasting away. She was under treat- meat fromtwo doctors, but neither seemed to benefit her, and for nearly two years this condition of affairs went on. Haviug seen Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills eonstantanily and highly recommended, we decided .o try them. Two montbs’ treatment worked wenders; she gained so much strenght that she is now able to do any work about the heuse,and her cheeks, once so dallid, now present a rosy giow of pealth.

THE AMERICAN SAILOR.

Jacky Has Become a Specialist and a Credit tothe Navy.

Jacky, who used to be more sailor

than gunner, is now more gunner than

sailor. Just in proportion as he bas

on which he lives, so he has come more and more into the contre] of it, and as the cardinal purpose of a warship is to hit things with her projectiles Jacky has become a specialist in getting that work out of her. He does it in two places—at the guns and at the engines. Correctly pointed guna are of no use

is put in proper relation to the thing to be hit ard kept there. Equally it is use- less to get the ship into proper place gniess the guns are correctly pointed. Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities and be sus- ceptible to education, and only men of this sort are eligible for our navy.

Accordingly the ‘‘beach comber,”’’ or the ‘‘rock scorpion,’’ or any other va- riety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around the great maritime ports and ships in any craft where ‘‘ernb’’? is plenty and work light, no longer slings his hammock on Uncle Sam’s berth deck, as he used to do, to the shame of the service, in years gone by. Nor can the tramp nor the jailbird nor even the incorrigible black sheep of the family thus be provided for, to the relief of constables and long suffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless he is clean, healthy, honest, young, strong and intelligent, nor can he afterward get that advancement, which is certainly open to him without fear or favor, unless he continues to show aptitude and ability.—Park Ben- jamin in Independent.

=" ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.

A Vast Difference In the Namber of Mon Required to Handle Them.

The number of men required to man naval guns of the British, French, Ger- man and American navies is about the same, although the French are under- stood to have more men asa rule for , some of the larger guns.

For the 4 inch and 5 inchall services require four men to work each piece; for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 12 and 13 inch the same number.

As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and 13! inch guns are used in pairs and mount- ed in turrets the 12 men working them | are protected by heavy plates of steel. For the little 1 pounders three men are | necessary to work them rapidly, and for the 3 pounders and 6 pounders four men are assigued, and for the Hotchkiss | three men.

Treble the number of men seem to be | required to work the same caliber of guns in our coast defense system, al- though there is no special reason for this, unless it be due to the fact that the army guns are mounted on disap- pearing carriages and are not provided witb turrets, which naturally limits the space of the operators. An army 8 inch gun takes 15 men to work it; a 10 inch gun requires 18 men, and 4 12 inch gun, the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 men.

It will be seen, therefore, that a 13 inch naval gun is operated by six mex, while an army gun of one inch less cali- ber calls for 21 men. The navy gun can be fired just as rapidly with its six men as the army gun can be fired with its | larger number.— Boston Herald.

My Laddie. Now, gather around me, children all; I'll tell yon a tale of a laddie small.

| His eyes are us bine as a dolly’s eves,

And they're opened wide with a glad surprise;

He never has sailed to the lands afar,

Yet he wears the garb of a brave Jack Tar;

His talk is often so droll and quaint

"Iwould provoke a laugh from the gravest saint.

Bis face is as bright as a summer day; Across it the sunbeams do always play:

His brow never darkens with angry frown, I think him the best little lad in town.

He rises unharmed when he has a fal)

(He’s chubby and bounds like a rubber ball} With always a laugh and never a whine—

A brave little lad is this lad of mine.

Oh, trusty and fearless his eyes of blue, Like windows through which shines a apizix true!

And loving the heart in iny laddie’s breast,

In sunshine or storm it will stand the test.

God blesa you, my boy{ as through life you xo:

May you keep a brave heart in weal or woe

And a sunny brow and an eye that's true!

May heaven's choice bieewsings be granted you! —C. Louise Rell in Christinn Work.
