ABSOLUTELY PURE
MY NEIGHBOR'S BOY.
He seems to be several boys In one,
So much is he constantly everywhere!
And the mischievous things that-boy has done
1 No mind can remember nor mouth declare.
He fills the whole of his share of space
With his strong, straight form and his merry
. face, y , ., , ' .
He is very cowardly, Very brave; . ':..'
He Is kind and cruel, good and bad
A brute and a hero! Who will save ' ', .
The best from the worst of my neighbor's lad?
The mean and the noble strive today
Whichlof the powers will have its way? ".
Ihe world is needing his strength and skill;
He will make hearts happy or make them
ache. . ' .
What power is in him for good or ill! .'.'."
Which of life's paths will his swift feet take?
Will he rise and draw others up with him,
Or the light that is i n him burn low and dim?
But what is my neighbor's boy to me ' ' , '
' More than a nuisance? My neighbor's boy,
Though I have some fear for what he may be,
Is a source of solicitude, hope and Joy : .
And a constant pleasure, because I pray ,
That the best that is in him will rule some iy.
He posses me by with a smile and a nod.
He know I have hope of him guesses, too,
: That I whisper his name when I ask of God 1
That men may be righteous, his will to do.
And I think that many would have more Joy
If they loved and prayed for a neighbor's boy.

the same .time recalling Mr. Freeman,

Freeman almost invariably ascended the
pulpit, and therefrom made his observa
tions on the architecture of the sacred edi
fice, not sparing the names of those per
sons ho in some cases had carried out
what he deemed an injudicious scheme of
. restoration.! There werethosewho objected
, to being denounced from the pulpit in this
arbitrary manner. But it were a pity if
scientific picnics.proved as monotonous as
the meetings of that mutual admiration
society, which bores all outsiders to ex
tinction; there are too many, rather .than
too few, smooth people in the world.
Sydney Smith once said of Sir Henry
Holland that "he was all mucilage, he was
. so very bland." He' never would have said
that of Mr. Freeman, who, doubtless with
the improvement of his fellow creatures In
view, had a rare .faculty for bullying the
ignorant; those, who naturally enjoy the
stagnation of settled opinions. The ques 1
tion is. Who are the ignorant? In Mr.
Freeman's classification'one was reminded
of the French critic, who simplified mat
' ters by saying, "The fact is only I and my
friends nossess any real knowledge." add-
ing, "I am not quite so.sure, however; coh

' Among the presents formerly offered as
1 New Vear's gifts, were pins, which were
' first made in the. early part of the Six-
teenth century. However trifling such
gifts might now appear It was then highly
valued, as previous to the invention of
- pins clumsy wooden skewers were .in use
. for fastening garments. In this manner
arose the term "pin money" in marriage
I settlements, the bride stipulating for or
. the groom voluntarily conceding a certain
annual allowance with which purchase
what was then deemed a luxury. -,
' In time the term came to be applied in
the more extended sense to signify any
sum over which the wife shall have abso
lute control, independent of her husband.
Though no longer used In legal instru
ment, the term is still retained colloqui-
i ally as denoting a stipulated sum for the
wife's private use." Exchange. . .." . ,

It is claimed that most people go to law
for the mental satisfaction of winning. - To
them our Canadian judiciary system must
be most gratifying. They can go from the
county court to a superior court judge,
thence to the full court and on to the court
of appeal, then on to the supreme court,
and if they have any money remaining
they may go to the privy council of Eng
land. The litigant who does not secure
one or two favorable decisions along' the'
road must have a hopeless case. Toronto

Russian Justice.
Oriental justice sometimes finds a par
allel in Russia, where judges and lawyers
see no difficulty in making eccentric dec!
sions and taking the meat of the nut for
themselves, leaving the shell for plaintiffJ
and defendant. yne day, at a village mar
ket, a shoemaker bought a calfskin of a
fanner for 2 rabies, and having no money
with him. went home to procure it.
' The farmer meanwhile sold the skin to a
second buyer for three rubles. ' Then the
original buyer returned, and when he dis
covered the trick that had been played was
lo indignant that a quarrel ensued, and the
matter was brought before a justice.
. "You bought the skin first?" said the
latter to the shoemaker after listening to
the evidence. : -. . .. ...' -.
. -"Yes." '; 0:, ;;;, .
"For how much?" '"' ; . ;.
"Two and a half rubles." ; '

Then , turning' to the second buyer the
justice asked, "You bought the skin after
ward and paid for it?" .
"Yes." ,, . , ' , '
"How much did you pay?" '
' "Three rubles."
'"You have the Bkin?"
"Yes." ' v
"Put it under the table."
The man obeyed, and the farmer was next
addressed. ; . .
'J You agreed to sell for 2)4 rubles, and
as the buyer did not return promptly with
the money you sold to another for three
rubles?" . - '' - ;
V "Yes." '- v ' ... -,'." " - .'.''
."Have you the three rubles?" ,
' "Yes." ' ', , ' ' . '
"Put them on the table." .
When this had been done the judge de
livered his decision. "The shoemaker is to
blame for bargaining without money and
thereby-endangering the peace of the town.
The second buyer is to blame for outbid-
ding another, and the seller for dealing
with people without money. Now all three

He Hated to Break the Set. -
, In, a certain village not twenty miles
from Boston it appears there is a side
street locally known as Maiden lane. The
name is more realistic than is obvious at
first, coming, as it does, from the fact that
six erstwhile maidens have 'their homes
there three on each side of the road. The
one eligible young man of the town found
it a placb with a good' deal of attraction.
The only trouble of it was, as the gossips
concurred, the attraction didn't appear
specific enough. Finally, after spending
a couple of winters Impartially before the
half dozen firesides, it became plain that
Eunice Maria she of the end cottage and
the sandy hair was. receiving enough at
tention and Baldwin apples to warrant
suspicion. '' ..'; : " :: .. '-' - ',
Public exoltement ran high and ebbed
and ran high again, as months went by.
Nobody knew why the suitor waited, un
less, as a brother .deacon said, because he
was Vnatu'lly slow.'.', At last, right in the
face of a new conjecture, the announce
ment came that he was going to marry a
young woman in a neighboring town. This
was a blow a blow so hard that when the
deacon's wife heard of it she . put on her
china aster bonnet and went over to the
bridegroom elect to inquire into the sub
ject. "Now, look here, Joshua,", she re
proached him gently, "I should 'er thought
yer might 'er suited yourself out.'er six In
Maiden, lane." "Well, I did think on 't.
I did think -on Eunice Maria real ser'us,"

' . A Living Electric Battery. ';.
' One of the most wonderful fish that fre
quents American waters is the torpedo
ray; order raiire, 1 family torpedinidaa, a
denizen of the- deep, often found on our
eastern coast, especially along that portion
of it extending from South Carolina to
Key West. The electric apparatus or bat
tery of -the torpedo is his sole defense, and
those who have come in contact with- it
when In good working order say that it is
all sufficient. Naturalists compare the
electric organs of the torpedo to the artifi
cial voltaic pile. , They consist of two series
of layers,' each composed of a multitude of
hexagonal . cells, the space which inter
venes being filled with a jelly like sub
stance, so that the cells may properly be
compared to a Leyden jar. ' , . '
Each full grown fish carries 480 of these
electric batteries, the combined force of
which is equal to the power stored in fif
teen Leyden jars. In other words, there
are about 8,000 square inches of the crea
ture's body charged with electricity to the
very highest degree. The upper side of
this animated battery is positive athd the
lower negative, the power to use the bat
tery being in full control of the fish. St.

taking a down town train (.o my office, I
resolutely rode, up town to the' skin and

with the physician in charge there:. In five
minutes he had reassured me; the pain was
a trifle, rheumatic, neuralgic, anything
but cancerous, but, 'do you know,' said he,
'you are theiinth man who has come to
me this morning with a false cancer scare.
It is remarkable,' he went on, 'how com
