Saved by Hope.
^ 0 aie saved by hope. Never man
hoped too much, or repented that he
had hoped. The plague is that we
don’t hope in God hull enough. Hope
never hurt any one—never yet in-
terfered with duty; nay, it always
strengthens to the performance of
fluty, gives courage, and clears the
judgment. Hope is the most rational
thing in the universe.”—George Mac-

Show of Freak Birds.
1 he London and Provincial Ornitho-
logical society is celebrating the at-
tainment of its majority by holding
a ca^e bird show at the Camberwell
Laths, where one can see to-day a
good many freak birds.
There is, for instance, a hybrid of a
canary and bullfinch, the only one of
It is class. Other rare crosses include
the offspring of a red poll and gold-
finch, of siskin and goldfinch, of green-
finch and goldfinch and greenfinch and
linnet. Then there are the albinos
marked out for a lack of coloring in
plumage, which places them at a dis-
advantage in the struggle for exist-
ence.
A white jackdaw, a white robin and
a u bite blackbird there are, thankful
perhaps, to be protected in cages- a
whitish chiff-chaff has excited some
doubts about his lineage.

Why Russian Names Are Long.
’I often hear Americans make fun
of the long Russian names," said Dr
George L. Alexis Hamilton, a Rus-
sian physician. "Let me tell you why
ihese names are long when spelled
out in the English language. It is
because you have not enough letters
in your alphabet. In Russian there
are 30 letters. In translating a proper
noun li is often necessary to use
three or four English letters to ex^
press the sound of one Russian letter
So sometimes a name that if written
iu Russian would be as short as
‘Smith’ will be almost an inch long
when spelled out in English.”

Not Even Sultan Exempt.
On one occasion when the famous
Nasr-ed-din was pressed for money he
went to the sultan for permission to
levy a tax of a penny on every man in
Turkey who was afraid of his Wife.
The sultan gave him leave, and at the
end of a few months Nasr-ed-din re-
turned with a hundred mules laden
with-gold. "But what am i to get out
of all this? inquired the sultan. “I
have brought you a beautiful Georgian
slave," replied the sage. “Hush!”
said (he sultan, glancing over his
shoulder. Don’t let my wife hear!”
And the wily Nasr-ed-din Hedja added
another pejuy to his store.
Wooden Leg as Memento.
A woman applied to the Eton Union
guardians in England recently for t.he
wooden leg which was worn for years j
by her unc le, who died in the work- j
house. Her request was granted and ,
the woman took the leg home with'
her.
Hand Embroidery.
A gray chiffon velvet showed a
P&m-l effect in front of solid embrend-
ered chrysanthemums worked |n grav
silk. The effect of this design was
unusually handsome, as no details
were omitted. The girl who is at al!
skillful with her needle can embroid-
er her own gowns or blouses and trim
collars and cuffs with hand embroil-
Where Webster Drew the Line.
In the New York Times "W. O. B.”
of Newton, Mass., says that in his li-
brary is the following letter from Dan-
iel Webster in answer to a request
that he take a certain case for a con-
tingent fee. I do not desire employ-
ment in professional matters, although
I do sometimes engage in them. But
I never engage on contingencies niere-
ly, for that would make me u xner°
party fo a lawsuit. D. W. ”
in- Queen of the Adriatic, as Ye-
nehans love to term the famous old
«ty. is privileged iu many respects
and m one particular at least she is
umque among the cities of the world
bhe has no cemetery. The only bury-
ing ground is the little island of
San Michele, lying solitary among ihe
lagoons at some distance from the
city.
This is one of the boons which
v enice owes to Bonaparte, who recog-
nized the danger to a population from
buna] grounds in such a situation
aril had al! intramural graveyards
closed and ordered the dead to be
taken for burial to this island resting
place. The place is deserted all tiie
year except on All Souls’ day, and
then there is a tremendous outflow
of about 140,000 persons.
As such multitudes could never be
landed from boats a boat bridge has
to be built specially for the occasion,
with Strict regulations as to control
of the living stream in its outward
and backward flow.
