Time For Auction, The interesting news from Koochi- ching that the first) carload of mater- ial intended for the development of power at the falls of the Rainy river has arrived at that place. The bulk ceinery is not ex- pected uutil navigation opens on the great lakes. But the arrival of this first carload indicates that a start has actually been made en the de- volpment of this great water power. From this time forward Koochich- ing, or International Falls, as it is now designated of the waps and in postal guides, may be expected to grow rapidly, The immprovement of this property will develop horsepower almost equal to that to be furnished by the St. Louis river when it is im- proved, and Kovchiching is destined to become in time one of the import ant cities of the continent.

Referring to the incredulity and” bitter attacks which Henry wm. Stan- ley and other explorers had to meet, ; Korg; A. J. Mounteney-Jephson writes in | yyy), steamships the Scribner’s Magazine: “I remember one evening in Africa when we were talking together over the camp fire, | his telling me, laughingly, about a! certain prominent personage who was well knowp fcr his pomposity and self- tmportance. He said: ‘When 1 re- turned from finding Livingstone Mr. X. distrusted me and only offered me one finger of his hand to shake. After my return from my second ¢xpedition, when I sailed down the Kongo, he gave me two fingers. When I had founded the Kongo Free State for the king of the Belgians and returned to England 1 got three fingers; but it took me years before 1 got his whole hand.’ This seems to me typically British, and I merely quote this little stcry to vindicate the grudging recog- nition which has been given to most or the great explorers by those ‘arm- chair geographers’ who stay at home. Livingstone suffered trom -his same attftude of incredulity and returned to the interior of Africa, where he met his death, because he could rot bear to face the unbelievers in London un- til he had solved the mystery of the great Lualaba river.” FAKE TOOTH WAS VALUABLE. Enabled Missionary to Gain Influence Over Savage Tribe. A well-known Church of Englaad missionary among the aborigines of Queensland, Australia, gained great influence over a certain tribe in a very peculiar manner. This tribe had the queer custom of having the front tooth of the upper jaw knocked out. The missionary, by accident, had lost this same tooth and replaced it by a false one. When he got talking with the aborigines, he would pull it out, point to the hollow place, and say, “Me, brother, belong to you!” ; In this way he gained the complcte confidence of the .tribe, converte every member of it to Christianity, and introduced as much civilization as they were capable of assimilating. The Lord Is My Shepherd. PSALM XXHI. The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shatl my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint. Or on the thirsty mountains pant, To fertile vales and“dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers soft and slow Amid the verdant Iindscape flow. Though in the paths of death I treaa, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear ne un); For Thou. O Lerd, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give rae aid, And gtide me through the dreadful shade. Thovgh in a bare and rugged way, Through devious Ionely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crowns And streams shall murmur all around. —Addison, German Betrothal Customs. ‘When a maiden is betrothed in Ger- many she is called “bride” by her sweetheart, who addresses her thus until it becomes time to call “wife.” Immediately upon betrotha! the lovers exchange rings, which, if . the course of true love runs smoot, are to be worn eyer afterward until | death parts them. The woman wears her betrotha? ring on the third fnzer | of her left hand until she is married, and then it ‘s transferred to the third finger of her right hand. The hus- band continues to wear the ring just as the wife wore hers when she was a “bride,” so that one can easily tell at a@ glance if a man be or be not mort- gaged as to his affections. Memorials to Americans. Many American boys and girls visit | Europe nowadays, but perhaps few even of these fortunate young folk are aware that the greatest of Eng- | lish cities coutains memorials to five distinguished Americans—a President, | a patriot, a poet, a preacher, and aj philanthropist. These five great men are Abraham Lincoln, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low, Matthew Simpson and George Peabody—five names written high in the Hall of Fame, names immortal in life and letters, names forever illus- | trious in character and achievement, | —St. Nicholas. Bird Sentry on Guard, * I was interested on Sunday in watch- ing the wovements of birds. Crumb- ling a biscuit, I threw it out, sat down on the piazza and awaited results. It was not long afier the birds came and helped themselves before a cat appeared. Then a warning note was sounded by 4 bird, evidently on guard on the top of the piazza, where he could survey the whole scene. At his warning every bird disappeared and remained in hiding until a reassuring | note was heard from the little sentry posted on the piazza roof.—Boston Record. About Books, But for the art of reading there never would have been any books. The wide diffusion of that art ac counts for the immense increase in the quantity of books. The lack of direction, cultivation and diserimina- of the world of letters is the promo- tion of the habit of reading with judg- ment and the love of reading wiih taste.— Henry. van Deke. tion of that art accounts for the de- cline in the qualty of books.
