OYER TUG RANGE.
Pewn the iImr read came Ilia lumbering
old stage, tne berses' hull clattering tnn
tbe roeky way, and the driver) a illrcet oppo eppo oppe
alia el llanck Menk tendencies, drawling out
' U'lang Ibat' every few minutes In an odd,
laay way, all till own.
Inside lha vehicle ware four passengers
hound for llurnaby, a few miles further en j
II wat ttlng dusk, and the drlu.llug rain
aettlng In rendered the prospect for Ilia re
mainder nt the Journey anything but pleas
ant The feet bill were very uninviting In the
murklnrae, the old coach waa horribly
"aturTv" and her fellow traveler a lady
and two gentlemen were unaccountably
Mlent eafYabnw ; ae Helle Norten alghed a lit

kgtfe window, In order te get a clearer view
of the mteiy latidieape,
She peered out with a very dlaaatialled
air aud reliellleua muttering t had ahe
but known that It waa audi an uncomfortable
trenail, why, aha never would have under,
taken It and the children ever the range at
llurnaby might bava gene without a teacher.
Hut aba waa In for It new, wltheilta ahadew

The old stage belted uncomfortably, the
man In the corner enured ominously, end the
driver monotonous "U'lang tbar" merged
Inte a troublesome dream, aa aha Journeyed
en toward her destination.
Presently the quick report el a revolver

ttnd the I'gbt of a dark tsntern streaming
Inte the oearh and a marked figure blocking
uplhe doerwav. Hlie with dllUculty aup
pressed a erream, but lbs woman epmlte
abrleked " Kebbei I" and went oil In a dead
faint.
That' the style we prefer." aald the
masked visitor In a aert, musical tone Holle
could scarcely feel willing te conuect with
the profession of a brigand, even In her
fright. Then be reached ever and relieved
the unconscious lady of her watch and chain,
and with the "click" or a derringer be pre pre
eeeted the weapon In the faeea of the horri
fied gentlemen In itilck succession, and aald,
savagely : " CV.me down, new, without
further trouble," which they did handsomely-
It waa llelle'a fortune te be robbed last
" Your watch, please," said the musical voice,
aa the derringer disappeared In raagle gal
lantry. "Ne," aald Belle. "It Is a present, and I
don't want te give it up," and she made no
move toward giving It te him. "Herry,"
answered the musical voice, "but I will be
obliged te take It then."
She made frantic oderta te eelr.s the watch
thai the lehber deftly detached from Ita
guard ; he laughed a little musteal ripple of
amused merriment as ahe clntcbeil his wrist
for a moment In trulllesa endesver te regain
her property, then with a quick dextrous
movement he freed himself from the plucky
Helle and withdrew from the stage, leaving
the crestfallen Intimates In blank darkness.
Outside they could bear two voices chuck
ling evor the mallbsge and Intimidating the
driver alternatively ; In a moment or two
mere of terrible suspense It was all ever, and
the blghwa) men took their departure, and
they were aulfered te go en their way.
"Oh dear I" walled Helle, clasping her
bands In desperation, "my watch that Uncle
Nathan Rave inn I Ob, dear, dear I" the
nervous lingers Isced themselves in restless
sympathy with the two big tears en ber
cheek but what was that In her lap T Home Heme

leisure, if she lived te reach Burnaby and see

roacbiean wss hurtled Inte the waiting room
et tba long, low tincture known as the llur
naby house, together with her long fitced
companion.
The experience Lad te be gene ever again
at the late repsst, and the lady wlm fainted
way In the suge thought boiler of It new,
and only wept Interestingly. Helle eat lielt
upright end made no sign of tbogriet which
had taken away her appetlte for the savory
meal before her; they left the table tlnally
alter every gentleman present bail given a
almllar personal adventure, and our young
friend waa shown te her room.
"An' se ou are te teach our ttkule?" re
pealed the voluble landlady again, a slut put
the tallow dip in lis tin rawi en the wall, aud

that erved for a wa-listaud.
" Yes," answered Helle, "but I heartily
wish 1 bad never accepted the situation.
Te-night's experience has cost me mere than
my summer's school will coma te, te begin

"1 dare say," agreed the old lady, ieldlng
ber arms ami sighing In unison with ber
guest j "it's tee bad, but they esy ' a lnd bo be
Innlng makes a go d ending,' you knew."
Small oemrort in thai," ejaculated Helle,
taking rtl ber hoots with an impatient jerk.
"Hlie' a all nut e' gear," muttered the old
lady te the motley array of kettles and pwa
su hour later; "hob's all oute' gear, but no
body can blame her as 1 knew of; mighty
nice gal tbeu, only Jest a little tee blgbfalutln'
for the Olen, I'm a thinking 1"
The next morning dawned lovely enough
te bint of paradlie, and Uelle'a spirits arose
en fancy's mounting wing ; she straightway
Srenilned herself a happy summer at the
ten, leaning Just a little en the maxim of
tbe previous evening, In spite of herself.
Bell Norten bad come ever the range te
spend lh aeasen in teaching at Burnaby, as
a aert el break In the usual routine of iiniilc
roll and dullards in sharps and llats. Hlie
found tbatshe waa expected te beard at the
Burnsby house and pay the bill out el the
meuut received leriiialructing the Juveniles
of the little village in "rtadln', wntin' and
'rltbmetlc."
Betting herself te ctieurastancra, she went
te work among chalk and books with a will ;
and In due time the citizens talked it ever
down at the store, and concluded that they
had a One teacher, notwithstanding her styl
ish dreasea and " banzai" hair.
"My son's coming home te spend Ids vara.
Uen, aald her beatesa one morning ai they

Geed old Mether Burnaby was highly
B leased at Belle'a Interest in her son's oeiu

teacher.
"Thla la my boy, Tem llurnaby, Miss
Morten; Tem, this is Helle Norten, the new
teacher from ever the range;" aald tne mother
wltb a flourish of Western pride, as tbe trio

" Why, whateverallsihechlldT" exclaimed
hla mother, as Tem Burnaby left the table,
altar having made a failure of entertaining or
being entertained ; but Helle inadn no reply,
for abe waa tee busy revolving a question et
bar own ; where had abe heard that aweet,
musical voice before? Surely somewhere,
for It seemed ae familiar ; yet ahe waa certain
of never having met ntin anywhere pre
viously, and abe gave It up willingly.
In a short time abe and Tem became great
friends ; ue wonder bia mother loved him se,
Bella thought he was ae kind and intel
lectual ; be waa ae everything one would
Wltb for In a friend, that ahe waa afraid abe
would love him herself ; there was a strange,

" Don't," alia said In a alrange, aad way,

"Why, llnlle Mis Norten, 1 would net

"Uli, Mrs unrnaiiyl I de love him, and
It's killing me, ten ; you don't knew no, you

At tbe gate a boy gave her a psekage.

We rarely realize bow tbe play et life Is en
acted by tbe birds, which In the spring time
swarm In the woodlands and hover ever tbe
prairies. Perhaps In nothing I thla better
seen than lu the mean by which the feath
ered gallant atrlve te win the attectlena or
the gentler ex among the birds. Tne history
of tbe "Middle Ages" Is full of tales or con
dicta In which men engaged for love of some
fair lady, and even In our own tluie many a
field could tell aad tales of bleed shed In aet
tlement of rivalries, hut neer fiercer fight
waa waged than we may aee among our
feathered friends.
Let us for a moment fancy ourselves trans
ported fsr swsy te the home or tbe " Hurl,"
one of tbe most pugnacious of birds. Peer
lng through the reeds and grasses, as I push
them te one aidn, de you awe before you that
pace or turf trodden bare? in the centre are
two blrda fighting. They dash at each ether,
selrlngeach ether wltb their bills and strik

baa given the bird Its. name. This serves ai
a partial protection te the body. At one side
stand tbe members of tbe ether sex, watching
the contest with Interest Fer a short time
we watch tbelr atrugnlea till an unlucky
movement disturb some of the en-lookers
and In a moment all aregena
But the "Hull" Is net aleue in his willing
nee te prove hi bravery in battle. Soerea
of our own blrda abew the aame spirit Kven
tbe small humming blrda will fight wltb the
greatest fury te drive ett some Intrusive
rival. Indeed It would perhaps be no exag.
geratlen lessy tbat the majority of the blrda
will challenge a rival te combat
Again, we find among birds as among men
aeme whose greatest charm I their voice ;
and aweet Indeed are the song tbey sing.

And have you net searched in vain for tbe

We find In bird life, tee, tbe fellow who
thlnka be can dance ; and never mere awk
ward dancer waa aeen than aeme et theae.
Yet tbelr curious anttca seem te charm tbe
onlooker of tbe ether sex. Seme of our
North American grouse get together lu com
panies el a aoere or mere and tun around In
a olrele, performing tbe meat curious antics.
Perhaps the most wonderful example,
however, la the Black Ceck, cne et tbe
European grouse. These birds bave regular
dancing plaeea. During tbe performance
tbe bird utter tbe airaugest nelle. Spread
ing all bia reather, he take a few Jumps In

ground, and meanwhile beating hla wing

way of dancing be la ready for war, and tbe
entertainment usually close wltb a free

The Farla Tempi gives a resume of a study
fiem the pen of Majer Seph us Schack, an
efllcer in the Danish army, en tbe subject of
physiognemical Indications, te which bis po pe po
eltlen as Inspector of recruita baa led him te
devote a considerable share or attention.
Majer Schack agrees with Aristotle In put
ting lila faith In neaes He can make a geed
guess at a man'a cnuMltutien lrem tbe sire

stance, almost Invariably indicating superior
cheat capacity and power of lungs, it is a
still mere accurate Index te mental qualities,
for, belonging aa It does at once te tbe most
aud least mobile portion of the face, It faith
fully rednrta tbe most fugitive mevementa
of the mind. In tbe child the nose lathe
most insignificant aud least developed por
tion of the physiognomy. It la net till tbe In
tellectual faculties cjiiue Inte play that tbe
nasal organ acquires Ita characteristic.
Majer Schick's ebseri atleiia lead him te con
clude that a amall and rcfreusie ueae be
tokens cunning and Unease; a straight and

a wall-known character of East Gloucester
named Captain Cook, wbe fellows tbe sea for
a livelihood. In conversation Captain Cook
Informed Dr. Uelmea that the laat fisherman
who had hired his beat waa Dr. Brooks. "He
waa very pleasant company," Captain Cook
was kind enough te aay, " but be awere a
geed deal for a clergyman."
"He did what?' Inquired Dr. Helmes,
aghast.
"He awere," stoutly reiterated Captain
Cook.
"Ob, nonsense, I don't believe It," said
the doctor.
"Well, what de you call this?" Inquired
tbe old fisherman. " He get a haddock en
hla honk and he bad a great deal of trouble te

News, bat we never before happened te aee
it When aeen, It beggara all description and
defies caricature. Here are twenty-two long
and closely aet columns full of advertise

the aame time accurately appraise them
selves. Bacheler, age 36, geed looking,

"An attractive, handaeme, young looking

SECOND FLOOR.
OllZr TBIHTMBN TM ABM OLD.
Tbe Remarkable nuterleal Essay Written by
Jebn II. Eby, or the Testa Institute.
The following essay waa written by Jebn
II. Eby, tbe thirteen-year old eon of Simen
P. hby, eaq. The lad la atudent of Yeatea
Institute, and its production exhibit remark
able precocity.
1 de net like tbe Remans, They were a
cruel and barbareua nation. Thla la abewn
by tbelr mannera and customs, and their con
duct in war, at borne and abroad. Even
their amnaementa were cruel. Tbey bad
gladiatorial shows In whleh men fought and
k tiled each ether with the ceetua or tbe awerd.
They had captive fight lien and wild ele
phants. These cruel ahewa were given te
please the people, and te get their vote and
were get up and paid for by tbeae who wanted
te be elected te office, which waa really
bribing the people te vote for them.
TheQreeka bad gamee which exercised
tbe body and mind, but did net kill tbeae
engaged In them. Tbey bad queit throwing,
wrestling, boxing, running matcbea and
chariot race. Tbelr gamea were given by
tbe people te encourage bodily health,
atrengtb and endurance, and net as a bribe te
be elected te high ofneea.
In war tbe Remans were cowardly and
treacherous, and wen generally by under
handed means. When tbey were pressed
bard or taken at a disadvantage tbey would
run away or make a treaty which they broke
as seen aa tbey oeuld take tbelr enemy un
awares. Tbey did net keep tbelr word ; and
even tbe fameua tenth legion wltb tbe great
Crater among them at one time akedaddled
from the conference held wltb Ariovtetna.
When tbey took eltlee they raxed them te
the ground and killed tbelr Inhabitants or
aeld them Inte alavery. Tbelr boasted
navies bugged tbe coasts and were driven by
galley alavea chained te the benebea.
Quite different from them were tbe Greeks.
Wben tbey made war tbey never marked
the course of tbelr oenqueet by smeuldering
rulna or a deserted and ravaged country.
Aa members of tbe Ampblotyenlo League
tbey awere by tbe river Styx net te burn each
ethers towns or cutoff tne running water
from them. And they kept their oaths,
Tbey were far mere brave and patriot le than
tbe Reman. They aeidem turned tbelr
backs te tbelr enemiea bnt died en tbe ground
tbey steed en, ss did Leenldaa and bis
three hundred. They were never guilty of
aa mean a trick aa M. Forelua Cate, wbe
butchered tbe Spaniard after they bad aur
rendered tbelr arma en premise tbat be
would net barm them but take them te a
better place te live.
The common people el Reme were net ed
ucated. They were a booting mob, alwaya
wanting te go te the gamea ; or fighting
about electlena. Tbey were only geed for
aeldlera. They were corrupt, and voted Inte
offlee the person wbe gave tbam the meat
bread at the circuses. Tbey expected te be
fed by the government or by tbe leadera
whom tbey followed te war,
Tbe common people of Greece were edu
cated te love tbelr country and te read and
write. Where they had vetea tbey cast them
for wbat they thought beat for tbelr country.
In tbelr punishments tbe Reman uaed
tbe most cruel and barbareua modes, They
crucified their criminal, pitched them ever
tbe Tarpelan rock, and Nere even tied aeme
of the Christiana te atakea and covered them
wltb tar and lit them for torebea In bia
garden. Tbe Qreeka decapitated, or gave
them hemlock te drink.
Tbe Greek peeta and bards wrote and aang
of tbe glerv of their country for tbe love of
country. Tbelr eraclea gave tbelr answers
wblcb were given In verse. Their architect
ure and eculpture are model still for imita
tion. Reme bad no such law givers aaLycurgua,
Solen or Clelstbene. Ne philosophers like
Secrates and I'late ; and Athena waa the ac
knowledged seat of learning.
Tbe Aeneld of Virgil waa written te flatter
and gain tbe favor of Aguatua Cwtar. And
tbe cemmentartea of Julius Caesar are all In
pralae of bimaelf and full of Ilea,

Sir William Turner, profeaaer et anatomy
In tbe University of Edinburgh, in a recent
lecture en " Whales ; their atrueture and
habits," referred te a point wblcb ought te
be of considerable interest te tbe beard of ex ex
perta that reported upon the deaelency of
boras-power et the dispatch beat Delphin,
namely, the horse-power exerted by the tall
of a large whale. Be bad asked a well-known
ship-builder te aaalat blm in arrivleg at the
power which must be exerted by a large
whale In order te acquire a speed et twelve
miles an benr. Tbey measured a large
whale wbicb bad recently stranded at Jjoag Jjeag
nlddry. It waa eighty feet long, weighed
about aeventy-feur tens, and bad a tall of
eighteen feet te twenty feet across tbe ex
treme edges et Its fliBga. Wltb tbes data it
waa oaleulated that suoe a whale, tn order te
