as reporting for books as well as reporting for newspapers, and there have been re- porters so amazingly clever that their very apiness and wit constitu them a sortofimmortals. You have proof of this in Horace Walpole, at whose hands gossip and compliment receive a sort of ap- otheosis. Such men hold the secret of a kind of alchemy by which things trivial and temporary may be transmuted into literature. But they are only inspired reporters, after all; and while a man was wishing, he might wish to be more, and climb to better company.—"‘On an An- ther’s ( e of Company,” by Prof.

Sentiment,

Two gentlemen were standing on a strect corner when they were approached bya man offering for sale two dressed geese. They decided to purchase, but the dealer insisted on selling the two fowls to one man Accordingly one of them bought the two and soli again to his friend.

After the transaction was completed the goose vender asked why he wouldn’t sell the fowls separately. Said he:

HOW TIGERS ARE NETTED.

The Nets Are of Cocoanut Fiber-—-Natives Drive the Reasts.

Tiger netting is never used, naturally, on the grass plains of Nepaul, but only in the state of Mysore, where it is absolutely necessary, although it may seem unsports- manlike, as the jungle is so impenetrably thick that the game cannot be captured otherwise. The nets, of which many are used, are made of half inch rope of cocoa- nut fiber with a9 inch mesh and are each about forty feet long by twelve feet in veidth. They are used in two different ways; oneisto surround the tiger with them at night, and the other is to place them iu line and drive the tiger into it, as he will then try to break through and so entangle himself that he is easily speared bf the natives.

The only castes who take part in this sport are the ‘“Oopligas,”” who use spears with handles about eight feet in length, and blades three inches wide and twelve long. It is a very curious thing that tigers never attempt to jump over these nets, which they very easily could do. Panth- ers have often been known to escape thus. When a tiger has been safely netted in, he is kept there for two or three days, and often shot through the meshes, without a chance being given him to try and regain his freedom.

The nets are held up by forked sticks in- clining toward the interior, and the end near the ground is well pegged down and logs of wood turned inside it, the remain- der being turned up, so that for four feet above the ground the netting is doubled. The tiger is driven into acil de sac formed of this netting,and the end is then quickly closed, forming a circle of about 300 yards in diameter. Then all the underwood is cleared around it in a belt of about ten or fifteen feet in width.

After this the parties with choppers en- ter the enclosure and cut twe paths across each other,so that by watching these the exact locality into which the tiger has moved can be easily ascertained. This cutting of paths inside an enclosure, with an enraged animal. wandering about, would appear to those who do not know his nature to be foolhardy and inviting certain death, but as long as the men keep well together a tiger will not charge upon them. Should he have received a wound it is very difficult to persuade the natives to venture inside.—Pearson’s Weekly.

A Man’s Real Strength.

The real strength of a man is in his character. Popular estimate makes jit consist in his circumstances. A man’s strength is measured by the number of his friends, by his wealth, by his social position, and his influence is in proportion to his reputationin the world’s esteem. But, in truth, a man is strong only in his manhood. How much there is in aman you must ascertain By measuring his char- acter. Aman is not strong by what he has, but by what he is; and in measuring what a man is, weare to measure his char- acter. Now, character is not a massive unit; it isa fabric, rather. It is an arti- ficial whole made up by the intérweaving of ten thousand threads. Every faculty is a spinner, spinning each day its threads, and almost every day threads of a differ- ent color. Myriads and myriads of web bed products proceed from the many ac- tive faculties of the human soul, and char- acter is made up by the weaving together of all these innumerable threads of daily life. Its strength is not merely in the strength of some simple unit, but in the strength of numerous elements.—Great Thoughts.

Woman's Ruling Passion,

The kind women of the church had helped their poor sister through a long itiness. They had hired a physician for her, had seen that his prescriptions were filled, had brought her broth and jellies, Rad cleaned her tenement and, finally, when she was on the road to health again, had made up a purse for her. A couple of weeks later one of them happened to call to see how their protege was getting along. She discovered the erstwhile in- valid very “low in her mind’’ and also in her larder.

“Why, Mrs. Hendricks !"’ she exclaimed. “We surely left you enough money to keep you comfortably for a while. you spent the whole $15 ?”’

“Yes,”’ sighed the beneficiary.

“How ?” demanded the inquisitor.

“Well, bein’ sick so long that time taught me a lesson about not bavin’ a decent—negligee, they call them, I think —tomy name. When I was just able to sit up I thought how fine ‘’twould be to have somethin’ more tasty-like than an ole shawlto put over my shoulders. So the first day I was out 1 bought me a pink cashmere wrapper—just in case I should be sick again, you know.”

Did She Do Right?

A young lady loved a young man. He had the habit of moderate drinking. She was advised by a disinterested friend not to marry him on that acoount. She had a great conflict and decided to marry him. She felt sure her leve could save him. But he drank on, in spite of love as patient, as earnest, as dari, as loyal as ever wasted its hallowed padion on a human brute. Finally he attempted to take her life, and she fied in terror from him to save herself and her childrep. He died a drunkard,

and she sank brokep-hearted the grave, + t-Epworth Era,

HOW TO BATHE.

Very Few People Really Understand the Art.

Bathing isa very important daily duty, yet few people know how to take a bath to get the mnost good out of it. There are certain things that add to the comfort of a bath which should not be missing from a well-appointed bathroom. Every bather should have a cork or rubber mat placed beside the tub. Woollen mats absorb the moisture and become dingy and unhy- gienic.

Every bathroom should have attached to the wall beside the tub, low enough to be accessible, two small wire trays ; one to hold the sponge and the other the soap in the intervals of bathing, when these ar- ticles are not in active use.

Every bathroom should contain a set of shelves, on which should be kept soap, tooth powder, a can of almond meal, &@ jar of cold cream, a bottle of ammonia, a bottle of alcohol, a bottle of lavender, or violet water, and a bottle‘of witch hazel. Of course, the woman who ifdulges in lo- tions and bleaches will keep them also. If medicine is Keptin the bathroom it should not be mixed indiscriminately with the toilet preparations, but should have a section to itself.

The brushes which every woman needs for her bath are a flesh brush for occasion- al use, a rubber complexion brush, and a nail brush. Some skins are kept smooth by friction; others are roughened. It will, therefore be the part of wisdom not to in- dulge in continual scrubbing until one discovers which sort of skin one has.

Cold water is not cle&nsing. It is brac- ing; it is hardening and it helps to make the skin firm, but it is not cleansing. he shock of cold water application closes the pores at once, and they retain all the im- purities which they should cast out. So that the woman who wishes to be clean, must wash in warm water every day and use her cold water sponge only as a skin tonic.

When one is fatigued a sponge bath with warm water and alcohol will restore one’s strength and vigor. When one is not wellathorough rubbing down with oil is an excellent medicine.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

FARM PUPIL FAKIRS.

Growth of the Swindle—Efforts Made to Check It—Where is the Remedy ?

The English farm pupil fakirs are still meeting with considerable success iu pro- fitably exploiting well-to-do Englishmen. Despite the explicit denidis of the Can- adian High Commissioner, they continue to impudently claim that they are work- ing with the approval of the Canadian Government. This ‘farm pupil” business is distinctly of the nature of a swindle, though those engaged in it manage to keep clear of the clutches of the law.

It isin vain that, in its emigration litera- ture, the Dominion Government warns the British public against them, and points out that the right kind of young men can readily find situations with good Canadian farmers, who will teach them the business, and that without paying the “pupil” fakirs anything. The trade flourishes and finds victims.

In the hope of finding some way of checking the work of the schemers, Sir Charles Tupper wrote, some time ago, to the Under Secretary of State for the Col- onies, pointing out that the work of the “agencies” was doubly harmful, as they extorted large sums of money from in- tending emigrantsfor ehtirely needless “services,” and also were the means of in- ducing suitable men to go to Canada at the wrong season of the year, and also many to go who were entirely unsuited for Canadian farm life. Sir Charles sug- gested that it would be well to have the public prosecutor look into the matter, with a view te having the swindle checked.

Apparently the English law does not reach the matter, and nefarious business still goeson. It is difficult to see how it can be checked ; to prevent it altogether seems impossible. Publicity is apparént- ly the only ‘available means, but it falls short of being effectual because few of the victims that the “pupil’’ sharpers are after will be likely to see warnings published by the Government or in the press. It is not easy to see, either, how either the English or Canadian Governments can reach the evil by legal enactments.—Ham- ilton Spectator.

Preserving Meat.

From Germany comes a novel method of preserving food meat. The inventor's chief claim is that the preserving process shall take place immediately after the killing of the cattle, and that in conse- quence amore digestible and nourishing quality of meat is obtained. Im order to carry out these results a cap or mask, her- metically inclosing the respiratory organs, is then placed on the head of the anima. whichis then quickly killed by the intzo- duction of low pressure carbonic acid. As soou asthe animal is dead the heart is opened and the blood is drawn off by means Ofatube. The preserving fluid is then injected and remains in the flesh. Chis fluid is prepared of milk, sugar, cream of tartar, carbonate of maguesia aud biphosphate of soda.

ODD HAPPENINGS IN THE OLD

Ten thousand dollars was lately paid by R. von Mendelssohn, of Berlin, for a Stradivarius’ ’cello.

London femininity proposes to have a women’s theater, far the glorification of the New Woman, and to the utter ex- clusion of new and old men.

In a civil suit, a woman at Colberg, Germany, had to mal:e an affidayit, con- secutively, on 1,200 disputed points. She swore, and swore, and swore, for three long days.

The Berlin Echo feels quite sure there must be some raistake in the report that our Edison is writing a novel; it opines that he is probably constructing some machine w aich: writes novels.

Monte Carlo is not the only open gamb- iing hellin Europe. Belgium still toler- ates games of hazard at Ostend and other summer reseyts by the seashore. And now an enterprising gambler offers to pay the authorities 1,000,000 francs annually if permitted to open a gambling house in Brussels, the Belgian capital.

At Paris, a short time ago, Helen Boul- ton shot her lover,a bank direetor. It is another Barberini case. He had promised to marry the young woman, but ulti- mately refused to do so; then she killed him. She was arrested and tried for murder. Thejury reached a decision in fifteen minutes: “Not guilty.”

APRIL MAGAZINES,

The Ladies’ Home Journal for April brings the grateful atmosphere of balmy springtime, Albert Lynch painting “the flowers of the field” nodding graceful wel- comes to one of his characieristically sweet, spirituelle women—a cover of daint- ily artistic beauty. It is an appropriate inclosure in which to embalm some fond memories Of Levise May Alcott, who in a series of letters to five little girls, written at intervals from 1872 to 1886, reveals herseif in a most interesting and lovable way. Io these epistles she chats of her work, her home life, the influences that guided her to literature, her spiritual belief, and gives her views upon the im- mortality of the soul, and refers to spirit ualism and kindred topics, with delight- fm! frankness’ The letters are of absorb-

iaterest, and are printed (with por- traite) for the first time. General A. W. Greeley’s second and concluding paper upca “The Personal Side of Washington” presents the great patriot as a son, a hus- band, a business man, a slave owner, a philanthropist, and gives his views upon the socio-economic topics that occupied the thoughts of the people of his day. General Greeley concludes, after showing Washington in a new light, that he wae the very foremost American. John Gil- mer Speed contributes @ timely and prac-

tical article en how to “*organ- ize and conduct “A Village Ita- provement Society,” and the great

work that can be accomplished through such community co-operation. Ex-Presi- deat Harrison’s “This Country of Ours” article in the Apr:] Journal discuses “The Enforcement of the Law,” and shows with nice distinction the duties and jurisdiction of the President. Lilian Bell with char- acteristic brightness and vivacity diecusres “The Philosophy of Clothes,” and Nancy Mano Waddle talks of the lily, practically and entertainingly. A short story, “A Change of Heart,” by Sarah Orne Jewett, supplements, in fiction, “The Violet,” which is drawing to a ciose, increasing in interest as Mies Magrnder unfolds the story. Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., in “She Young Man Entering Life,” forcibly peints to the difference between resolution and achievement. There are practical articles on dress, the household, gardening, Easter Cards, and plane, with details, for builling “A $5000 Dutch Colonial House,” and the usual depart- ments—a'l of value and interest. A con- spicuous feature of the April Journal isa musical compositior, “Jhe Coloniai Damés Waltzes,” by John Philip Sousa, the “March King.” There is an sbund- ance of illustrations by leading American artists, and pictures of historic interest reproduced from photographs and _ por- traits.
