ARR DL IRIAN LIEN BORER nse A writer in Appleton's Magazine gives an experience which a boy had after wounding a grouse.

He was making one of, those short cuts from point of view to point of view. He was passing (little as he realized KB) from the barbarian hunter stage to a plane of broader sympathies, “All through the lesson he gat brooding the same thoughts, and as be left the church the idea of the wounded bird hag taken full posses. sion of his mind. Instead of going home. he set out for the field where he had shot the grouse. He believed he might find the bird even yet. At least he would try, ‘A good memory and a keen e enabled him to £0 to about the heb of the fleld from which the grouse had flushed: and over by the corn. field he noted the exact point (mark. od by a pecullar fence post) where the wounded bird had gone down. He Weat directly to it, and had scarcely entered the cornfield when his dog came fo a point. There ahead on the ground lay the bird, stretohed at full length. It made no effort to escape as he came up. It was too near death to fear him or anything, its eyes half closed, Ms bill agape, as it feebly grasped for breath. . “In an {astant the youth was on his knees beside the bird, a great lump in ‘his throat, his eyes staring as if they would start from: thelr sackets f drop of quench the thirs: dew marke of the | The meaning of it all came to him, | with the force of a blow.

The ground was hard, and he had nothing but his knife and a piece of stick to aid him; but he persevered the more stubbornly as his fingers became sore from digging. When the grave was deep enough, the youth went after the body of grouse and took it up tenderly, as if so much of suf. had given it sacredness. He { laid the poor thing carefully in the ground, smoothing its every feather. Then he resolutely scooped in the dirt till the grave was filled. “It was a thoughtful youth who walked s'owly homeward across the flelds that autumn day. He was ask. ing himself what right he had to in- flict such suffering as that What manner of friend to the birds was he that could wish only ‘to kill them? What pleasure could he get in future in shooting always with the possi bility of reenacting the tragedy of the cornfield? “long before he reached home the youth had made up his mind. He knew that he should shoot his gun again. He had entered a new phase of life.

In times of peril in Persia the med} cal missions have be safest places not only for Europeans but aiso the Persians themselves, Emmeline Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop Stuart, had a remarkable story to tell of her own experiences when preparing to leave the country. The only escort available through the disturbed country from lspahan to Teheran was offered to her by the military authorities, and she accepted it, to find that it entailed travelling on a gun carriage harnessed six 'n hand and that for ten days double { stages were effected at a hard gal lop, while the shelter of the riage formed her canopy at night.
