A Davecr With a Rubber Foot.
“It is surprising how nicely a man ean walk witha rubber foot,” remarked a traveling man at the Lactede, around whom a group of listeners were sitting. “dT attended a ball last week in a town in -dinois and was introlucel to a gentieman from Ohio, who had for a partner the prettiest lady in the ball- During the evening I had oc- casion to notice this couple, who were .oncedel to bethe most graceful dan- hall. In all round they were partners, and the most intri- eate fiztures w executed with a and grace excelled by none, except they be teachers of the po. try of motion.

are not the at the ball? ‘Most assuredly I am, but after dancing all the evening my leg becomes wearied, and to giveita rest I leave my rubber foot at home the next day. I can fee] the sensation now as if my toes were cramped by a pair of tight shoes. Otherwise I feel no in- convenien‘e in th» loss of my lower limb.’”—St. Louis Republic.
The Suceessfual Teacher.
There are really only two thing; the successful teacher needs te have— knowledge of his subject-matter and knowledge of his pupils. The first of these can be gained only by study, the second only by experience. The man who has never been areal child him- self cannot effectively teach children; and he who does not know by -experi- ence the warm-hearted, exuberant gaiety of school and college boys can- not successfully teach them. Further- more, the teacher who spends more time on the method of teaching litera- ture than on literature itself is sure to come togrief. Greatest of all forces is the personality of the instructor ; noth- ing in teaching is so effective as this; nothing is so instantly recognized and responded to by pupils; and nothing is more neglected by those who insist that teaching is a science rather than an art. After hearing a convention of very serious pedagogues discuss edu- cational methods, in which they use all sorts of technical phraseology, one feels like applying Gladstone’s cablegram, ‘Only common sense required.”—The Century,
His Hard Luek.
“Talk about there being no such thing as luck,” said Bilkins, deprecat- ingly: ‘“‘why, everything's luck—life, riches, health and even the choice of parents depends on the merest chance. And I have been the unluckiest dog in Christendom.”
“Unlucky ?” said Wilkins, sympa- thetically. ‘‘Why, I don’tknow. Now, you've health, a wife—”
‘‘There’s an example, my wife. You remember the day we walked down town together? You picked up old Rockleigh’s pocketbook. Your ac- quaintance in this way withhim was wholly an accident. Now you are his partner in a money coining business. I picked up a girl’s handkerchief. Now I am her husband, I tell you, old man, I’m a Jonah,” — Washington Times,

Under the heading “Cardigan Bridge Notes,” signed by “Ike Ivicle,” the Pat- riot publishes a great wany ridiculous stateinents. People who are acquainted with the author of these no.ee, and with the subjects about whick li: writes, treat them with the contempt they deserve; but they may be misleading to those who do not known the facts. 4 is to be hoped, however, that with the approach of sum- mer, “Icicle” will disappear from the columns of the presse, in the same manner that the real icicle melts away under the influence of the sun. and thus the readers of the Patriot will be rid of the undesir- able and trashy contributions ef a worth- } less correspondent.

BRITAIN’S POPULAR QUEEN.
lier Latest Cabinet Photo Given Away.
The popular craze of the day is now dir- ected toward the new and elegant cabinet photo of Her Majesty the Queen. worth fully 40 or 50 cents each, that Wells & Richardson Co, are sending out as part premiums to thousands in Canada sad the United States,
The well known mauufacturers of Dia- mond Dyes recently made arrange nents with the publishers of Our Home by which they were enabled ts make the fol- lowing offer:
“An elegant full cabinet photo (from a recent copy taken ty royal command) of Her Majesty Queen Victoria; a four-paged pamphiet giving dates of births, marriag~ es and deaths, and other items of interest~ ing and useful information relating to the royal family, that but few people have ac- cess tc; six Diamond Dye dolls with six extra dresses, and acard of forty-five sam- ples of dyed cloth, showing colers of Dia- mond Dyes, sent free to every man, woman and child who will send in 25 cents in money or stamps for one year’s subserip- tion to Our Home, a paper that thousands declare to be worth a dollar.”
Wells & Richardson Co. regret very much that they were compelled to keepso many waiting from three to five days be~ fore orders could be filled and mailed. The rush of new subscribers has been, and atill is,extraordivary—in fact eo heavy that the artist has not been able to keep up with the demand.
Arrangements are being perfected in the direction of @ larger mailing staff and in- creased supply of photos, so that new sub- scribers tu Our Home will receise prompt attention.
Bear in mind thet the whole cost of Our Home, photo and other premiums, is only 25 cents. Address Wells & Richardson * Co., Moatreal, P. Q.

They Differ in Details.
The bushranger of Australia and our own western road’ agent have objects and methods of buSiness in the main identical, but they differ in minor de- tails and in their distinctive slang. The unfortunate traveler who meets a western road agent is “held up.” His experience with an Australian bush- ranger would be practically similar, except that he would te ‘bailed up,” while if he met one of the craft in New Zealand he would be “‘stuck up.”—New York Sun.
Keeping Up With the Times.
“Oh, mamma!” said a little girl, “I singed in Sunday school to-day.”
‘Did you?” said her mamma. “Could you keep up with the others?”
“I dess I could! I kept ahead of them all the way through!”
That is about the way many of us keep time as we go through life—a little ahead of our fellows or lagging
behind.— Boston Commonwealth,

SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT BABIES. Yorkshire People Bind the Little One's Hand That It May Become Rich.
The superstitions attaching to new- vorn babes are numerous, A York- shire (England) notion is that the in- fant should be always placed in the arms of a maiden before being touched by any one else,and in some instances its right hand is bound in a cloth during the first day of its existence, in order that it may gather riches when grown to manhood or womanhood.
In England, France, Germany and many parts of this country it is con- sidered essential that an infant should “go up” before it gdes down in the world. Thus, if a child is born in the lower story of a house it is instantly bundled up and carried upstairs; if the event occurs in the upper chamber, then the woman in charge is supposed toclimb on the table, chair or other article of furniture with the baby.
Inthe north of England, when a child is taken from a house for the first time, it is given an egg, some salt and a snail loaf of bread, and, occasional- ly, apiece of money, these gifts being supposed to insure the child against its ever standing in need of the neces- sities of life. Yorkshire people add matches to “light the child of heaven.” In this country, as well as in many others, a book, a piece of money and a bottle of liquor are placed before the infant the day it is one year old, the — being to ascertain its bent in ife.
The Manx people have a number of superstitions concerning babies. Hall Caine tells us no one is allowed to step over it or walk entirely around it lest it become dwarfed and wizened. Until baptized all babies are supposed to be quite at the mercy of the fairies. The baby will remain lucky through life if it first handies a spoon with its left hand, but it will come to perfect estate if it shall have repeated falls out of its mother’s arms, cradle or bed before it reaches its ffrst birthday. One of the prettiest of the Manx superstitions is the custom of retiring early on stormy nights, so that the good fairies may euter unobserved to find a place of shelter and repose.—Chicago Inter- Ocean.
. He Enjoyed the Roast.
The scholar in politics has some odd experiences and isin a position to get lots of fun out of them. Charley Hoyt, the play-wright, isa member of the New Hampshire Legislature. Talking in Boston the other night, he related an incident that took place in his poli- tical career. He said that he never made, to his knowledge, more than one successful speech, and fhat was when he wasendeavoring to get a certain measure calling fora large appropria- tion through the Mouse. Action had been delayed as long as possible, but when the time came a bright young lawyer opposed the measure, attacking Mr. Hoyt in a most savage manner and making many persona] allusions. Mr. Hoyt responded very briefly, but the attack hed been so fierce as to arouse sympathy, and the measure was carried. Meeting one of his colleagues the next day, Mr. Hoyt was asked what action he was going to take about the abusive speech. “Why, nothing,” responded Mr, Hoyt. “Are you going to stand calmly by and be insulted in this manner?” the gentleman asked. “I don’t exactly see what I can do,” returned Mr. Hoyt, with a little more than his usual drawl. “You see, I wrote that speech and paid the man 825 to deliver it.”—Troy Times.
Temptation.
One of the greatest sensations of life follows a temptation resisted and overcome. The good knight of God is led to the end of the arena, gentle hands loose his heavy helmet and strip off his blood-stained armor, and hold a cup of sacramental wine to his lips. Whether the scene of the conflict be a busy office or a commonplace room, or the foot ball field or the roadside wherc the honeysuckle and the dog-roses mingle, temptation must ever be a romance. When ons reads in the gospels that angels minister to the vic- tors, it isthe poetry of truth. The spiritual world follows and overhangs us in this present strife, and it may be that the faces are those who love us and whom we love. Our eyes areas yet holden sothat we cannot see, but our souls have a thrill of pure joy,with which no pleasure, nor gain, nor fame, nor knowledge can be compared. There is something better than thesight of an angel’s hand or the sound of an angel’s voice, and that is the “‘well done” of conscience, which echoes from the throne of GodgHimself.—Ian Maclaren,
