(^.f i Voff the Princess of that oouattf^vam-lA itiegt that ever you saw, and it happened ?^^(,g also was waking just about that 'â- ^*1 and locking out of her window she ea- '.^j' „ot the stable-boy, but) a sfAn^did fZ' with akin as white andteddlimUk'and "i.ives, and with hair Aat ^»are like ' 3 gold, bathing his facse and naok a|i;, the ilr J in the court yard. (That wm beeause iii not hive the tow wig upon bis head.) 'o.jj how she dii look and stare, and •are and look, to be fure. for she had never 'icn ill? like of the Prmoe bffoie in all her By and bye shs cillei one of her women, -id hade her go down-staits and ietoh the fl' â- ^ ihit stood bathing at the eistet^ in the ^nrt-yard and down went the woman. Kiir when she came there she found no one bat the le»n, tattered, pale stable-boy, for ,i,epriDC3 had heard hir coming, and h«d â- lappsd his hat upon his head. All the sins ai no one else wa^n in the cnurVyard, th, womia took the lad up to the Pri^oeat IS she had been bidden to do. Bat the Princess did not know the Prince in hia wig of tow. "Why did you bring t-iis fellow to me " said she. "Because ' said the woman, " thete wss jjoneelae in the court- /ard." Then the Princess began to put thie and tha' together. " Why do you wew that i" tow wig? ' said she to ths stable-lad. "•'To keep my wits warm and why, else, jboi'.d I weir it " ea'.d he. â- â- ^â-  Then the Piincesj snatched at the tow ^is and before the Prince knew what she wis'aboat, sha had it off his heac(, aoii there hesiosd the handsomest hero Iti' the wqrld.^ "Tell me who you are," said »he. â- *â-  " That I cannot do yet," said the Prince so give me my tow wig again, and let me go ;o my stables and pig-sty." Thereupon the Princess gave him his wig, ind hs clapped it upon h's heiMl and ran down stairs and away, and that was the last ehe saw of him for some time to coma. Now in that country was a great fiery dragon that wasted the land and killed the folk it such a rate that all the country for three I'asrues about was nothing but a star- jpg naked desert, 5u at Ies^j the King called his wisest councillors together to see whether their. irits could not show him a way to S[et rid of th3 pest. ' L?t it be proclaimed that whoever kills the dragon shall have tfte Princess for his wife, and half the country to rule over," laid the oldest and the wisest councillor, " and then a hero will not be long in show- ing himself." :jo it was done as the wise councillor ad- vised, and the proclamation was posted on all the church doors in the to wn. Then, hni what a hurly-burly there was 1 Nobody talked of anything but the dragon. £very one would have liked to have the Princess for his wife, but not a soul dared face the fiery draf^on. " I would like to go and fight the dragon," said the tattery, pale-faced stable-boy. Maybe it was five minutes before those who heard whu he said could speak a word for the fit of laughing that shook them all. "Very well," said they at last, "yon may take the old lame horse that feeds up yonder on ths stony hill pasture." And that was the best that the lad could get. So off he rode, and all whom he passed tarred and looked after him and laughed. Bat little he cared for that. On he jog- ged, hcppetyclop, until he had oome to ^e great dark forest. There he blew a hair into the air, and there stood the black hairy ma 1 as quick- as wink. " And what is it that yon wish for T" siid 71 left aftear we have gone " and that waa the eame that he had ridden before. Never- theleee h» twA irba»lie eeoU g^^mM^-mm ha rode to the forest, and blew the eeoeBd h^ into the air. "♦And what ia it that yon want now?" raid the blat^ liairy oum, " Iwonld liin,^ Mi4 the Prinoe, " to have a hone with which to ride np the glan hill and fetch down ths golden apple and the silver pear from the lap of the Princess, aqd also I ahouli like «o hare a eaiti^^mor St\ for a king to wear." "Very weD," Mid the black hur^ man, " so on shall have " and there then^ were, a spleadid red iiotM with «yf a that qparkled like fire, and snitof golden armor that shone Kke the snn in the morning and the Prinoe put on the one and mounted the other, and off he rode. When he came to the slaes hill, there they were at it, riding and stumbling and •lipping and qirawling, with thdr tooreefl all of a lather. When raey eaw the splendid knight come riding in his golden aiteor they all cleared a way for him, and at the hill he., went until the sparks fiew. Up he rode, as easily as though it had been Peter Pfifer's meadow, and there sat the Princess at the top with the apple and the pear in her lap. The Prince took the one and the other, and than kissed her pretty lips. " I know you," said she, and that is all she had the chance to say for the Prince wheeled his horse and rode down the hiU asain and away, before any could lay hand on him or say a word to him. As for following after him, why, those who waited below might as well have tried to follow the March wind. Off he rode to the forest, and there was the black hairy man waiting for him. "Yon shall keep them," said the black hairy man, " for yon will Mjed t9t»m bye- aadbye," So Che princa took the tattery tags and put them on, so that the splendid golden armour was all hidden by them. Then he mounted upon his old limping herse, and rode away to the King's castle. " Here is the pewter penny back asain," said they, and everybody had a laugh or a jeer for hin. " Yon should hSve seen the splendid golden knight," said they, "lihat rode up the hill as easily as one can swallow a buttered ege." " Yesâ€" good," said the stable boy. " But if had been there, I could have done as well." But the King was as far as ever from finding who it waa who had done all these wonderful things. So he and all his wise coimdllors tat together talking the business over. Just then in came the Princess. "I can find the hero that you seek," said she. ••Very well," said the King, "and where Is he?" "Send for the lad that cleans out the stable and feeds the pigs," sud the Princess, "and then we will not be long in finding him," So they sent for him. Bi7t when he oaae and stood before them, everybody, began staring and snickering, for not one had ever seen such a lean, pale, tattery, dusty, crea* ture before. But the Princess knew what she was about. Up she stepped and snatch- ed the cap off from his head. Thereupon the dirty rags fell away from him, and there he stood in his golden armour that shone so that the whole room was filled with light. " The King came up to him and took him by the hand. " Are yon the hero!' said he, " who rode np the glass hill " •• Yes," said the Prinoe, " I am he." And he thrust his hand into his bosom and drew forth the golden apple and the silver "Shooing" aFtother. simHir in the foUowfiig incident, taken from " Tiger Shootiog in Um Door and Ul' â€" " 'loeed mfldneae worked woadere Eat Hon^. â- nmiyiMiiiliiiHt' IPWiiWrrsBn^fj " I should ilke," said the Prinoe "to have another horse and suit of armor, so that I may kill the great fiery dragon over yonder." That was what he said, and there was what he wantedâ€" a beanUfnl white hwse and a suit of shining silver armor. And the liestpartof the business was that neither fire nor sword could harm whosoever wore that armor. So np the Prinoe leaped upon his grand white horst, and off he rode to kill the dragon. iever mind I only wish that yon could bave seen the fight betwixt the Prinoe and the dragon, for it waa better than a dance at a fair to look at. But by-and-by the end came, and there lay the dragon dead. Then the Prince cut off its head, and rode away home again. ^hen he came to the town, there sat the Ring and all his people at dinner. In walked the Prince, and nobody knew who he was. Down he flung the dra{|on's head, withont saying A or Izzard to a single soul, and nobody to stop him for wonder at it all. Away ha rode to the foreet. There was the black hairy man waiting for him. So off he rode on his old lame horse. In the town everybody was buzzing about ^he hero who had killed the dragon. "Nev- er mind," said the stable-lad " if I had only been there in time I could have done »«much Myself." Dear dear I how they did laugh and roar »t the foolish lad's words until they were half dead with their merriment, and with little breath left in their bodies Bat the King was perplexed to know who the strange kmght could b^ So onoe again he called all of his conncillora together to talk the business over. "This is what yon â- Wl do," said the very oldest and wiaest of »Uâ€" he who had advised the King oonoem- iog the dragonâ€"" you shall make a hill cf 8l»is, and on the top the Pridoess sbsU sit with a golden apple and a sflver pear in her l^ud. Whoever rides np the hiU and takes the one and the other from her lap is the "nan who killed the fiery draswi-" ^__ And so again it was done aa the wise «ouicillor said.

"I am the son of the King of the Golden Mountain," said the Prince, "and what 1 wish for most of all in the world is to have the Princess for my wife." The Princess stepped np. " I knew from the first that yon were no stable-boy," said â- he. After that they were married, and. the King of the Qolden Mountain came to the wedding; and if nobody else in the world was glM, he was, for he had long given np his son as dead. And now if there is any more of this story to tell, yon must get somebody else to tell it yon. fretty Girls and Politeness. While middle aged and elderly persons ought certainly to encourage young people in having plenty of innooent fun, the latter should Mso remember that the earth does not belong wholly to them, and cnght to show consideration to the elders, and be patient with the children, who are so apt to abound in places of Summer resort. The quiet and quaintly dressed maiden ladies may seem very tiresome to the pretty girls who are staying beneath the same roof; nevertheless, the latter should remember that cocqnerors show to the best advantage when they are most magnanimous, and a beautiful and much admired women is cer- tainly, for a brief space, a conqueror of the earth. Let her, therefore, give precedence, in entering a carriage, in passing through a ^doorway, or in going up or down stairs, to the spinster whose youth has_ long since flown, and our young beauty will not only obey the laws of politeness in this way, but; may win for herself a firm friend and protectress in the older woman, whoB|ay â- till have a fresh, warm heart, even though her face be plowed with wrinkles. Impatience with children is a common Suit with young people, but surely a most ogical one. According to their own the- ory, they shonld yield gnioef ally to the de- mandsof thelittle folks, sincethey claim that age must yield to yoath; add it is a poor rule that does not work both ways. ^ready tliat ncTJonbt you #ffll»Oi»M»«* tide ^^ np the hiU gnd bringdown tbo goldM 'PPleland the saver pww.

Afterwards I was reading a newspaper, when my attention was attractod by .some- thing moving in the direction of the door, whidi, at the farther end ol the long room, was open, except for a lone wicker screen hanging over' itOB th» outside. Turning qoickly round, I saw panther, or large leopard," glide in at the door, uid go tmder a table iddeh stood near the wall. I could still see it there, although the only light in the room was a tallow can- dle on tne table beside me, and tlie animi^l was partly in the shadow. It stood staring intently at me.

The works were made by Messm Steibway ^onsj and the case, which was built in London, was deeigned and painted by Alma Tadema. It cost 146,000. Sir Donald Smith of Montreal, is the owner of the costliest piano ever Buidoj in this countey. It is also r Steinway, and the case was made by potter Styinus. It cost, when landed in Montreal, f27,d00. The most expensi've sideboard ever made in the United States is owned by Judge Harry G. Packer, of Maucb Chunk, Pa. It covers the whole side of a room, and was built by Br z Brothers for 147,000. It is a marvel of elaborate and beautiful carv- ing. Mr. Marqoand Is also the possessor ot the costliest billiard table in the country. The price was $26,000. I J. W. Maokey furnished about $75,000 in weight of silver, and paid Tiffiany Co. $120- 000 for the work on his dinner service, which thus represents $195,000. j The costliest string of pearls in the country belongs to a New York lady, and cost $51,- j 000. 1 Anotber New York lady h$M a solitare diamond ring, for which she paid Tiffany Co. $48,000. I The late Mrs. Morgan paid $250,000 for, her necklace. Mrs. Hicks-Lord is the own- j er of a diamond necklace which cost $250,- 000. m Where do Files ^o in Winter? Some one has asked, " Where do flies go in winter 7" This is a question of some in- terest, for a house fly is born fully grown and ot mature size, and there are no little flies of the same species, the small ones occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger, onea. The honse.fly does not bite or pierce the akin, bat gathers its food by a comb or rake or brush-like tongue, with which it is able to scrape the varnuh from covers of bool^, and thua.it tickles the skin of a person ^qponwhom it alights to -feed upon the penpiration. A fly is a scavenger, and is a vehicle by whioh oon- tagious diseases are spread. It poisons wounds An^ may carry deadly vims from decaying organic matter into food. It retires from the dght at the. beginning of the winter, but where it goes few penons know. If a search of the house be made thej will be found in great numbers secreted m warm places in the roof or between the partitions or floors. Last winter we had occasion to examine a roof, and found around the chimney myriads of flies hibernating oom- fortably and sufficiently lively to fly when distnrMd " in overpowering obmds." No doubt this is a favorite wuiter resort for these creatures.â€" [Boston Globe. ' Seali8tio The Dntch painters of three hundred years ago liked to paint everything tO' the life, no matter whether the subject were attrac- tive OT repulsive. Many ctt their best pic- tures were carried home by the Spaniards at the time of the invaaion of the Nether- landa, and are now in the gallery of that cotrntry.

Its intrinsic value is still there its weight is the same, not a partiple of ^old has been lost, and yet no one'wonld thmk of accept- ing that sovereign for a dehtor^Cormerchan- dise sold. Why is this? Simply because the government imprint on, the soyeieis'n has Men obliterated. That gold coin obtain- ed its money value by- fiat of the go^^rn- ment and directly the evidenie of that fiat was obliterated from the coin, it lost its commercial value.

Many ol^er skins have been forded into use for the purposes once supplied by the buffalo. Unlike most fashions, it was the failure of the aupply, not the failure in demand, that makea the buffalo robe out of faahlon. Seventeen hundred balea of them arrived in Chicago recently. Several yeara ago these robes were for sale at several Eutem and Western points, and were brought np for Canadian use. The Canadians did not want them, and they were sent from Toronto to a Chicago dealer who has owned a large number ot them. The invoice is a remark- able one, as it is known to be the only commercial collection of what waa at one time a special American product, and one that can never again be obtained. Within ten years the buffalo will be swept from the face of the United States, and almost out of existence. All that remains of these animals are the few small herds owned by the Government and sfraggling specimens in the Southwest. Commerce is not senti- mental, and the thrilling feats of the hunter and his banquet of buffalo hump on the wide, grassy uUe of the West, count little in the matter of supply and demand. In less than the past ten years the hunt has yelded over 100,000 bales, containing a dozen skins each. Skins that were skill- fully dreesed by tiie rad men were sold from $15 down to $4.- fhe remnant now here is quoted at from $14 to $25. â-  iinotT^ I think it is best not to dispute where there is no probability of convincing.

The floor of the slaughtor-house and of the large adjoin- ing spaoe, where the sheep are flayed and the offal removed, is laid in cement, over which are wooden gratings like those on board ships water flows eontinuously over the floor and drains off into a large sewer.

When the medical inapeotion ia over, a aaok is dnynt oyn each oaroase and care- fully clo8ed,and it then paases into the first or cooling- chamber, where the temperatare varies from 32 degrees to 40 degrees, accor- ding to the season, being, of course higher in sammer than in wintur. This, like all the freezing obambera, ia oonstructed of concrete, and completely excluded from tiie outer afr and light a heavy double door gives access to it, and when the men are at work the electric light is turned on. The sheep are left in uiia twenty-four to forty-eight hours, acconUng to circumstances, and are then transferrel to the first freezing-chamber, where the temperature is about 10 de^eea below freczicf point, and from this again to the last one, when the air is atill cclderâ€" down to about zero Fahrenheit. Huge admirably- conatructed steam-engines drive the condens- ing and expanding maohines which cause the extreme cold, and which are being im- proved on as every successive one is made. It id curious to observe in the warm engine-room how one cylinder is so hot that one cannot tonch it, while eighteen inches further the large pipes ure surrounded wiUi a coating of frost, and lon^ icicles hang from tne joints. The cold air ir turned ^to or shut off from the cooling and freezing bham- bers, as required, by an ingenious system of tubing and valves and when the process of freezing u completed, such sheep as are not Immediately removed are trannerred to the store, where there is hanging spaoe for 10,- 000 sheep, and the temperature is abont this same as in the first Ireczing-ohamber. By this time the sacks are frosan to the sheep in one solid mass, and the oaroaaea are aa hard throughout aa a hard atone. Afr-ti^ht railway waggona are then run np alongaide a platform opposite to the sliding- doors of the store, and the carcases are quickly transferred to them. When a train of such waggons ii ready, it steams off to Lyttelton, where the great steamer Is lying alongside the pier, and the sheep are at once placed in the cold chambers, where they will remain until they reach London. Some slight exposure to the outer air ia unavoidable while the carcases are beii^t transferred from store to railway truck, and from truck to ship but they areao tiioroaghly frozen thattheyreceivenouijary.

One of the most significant and enooorag- ing inoidente ' in East India sooial history took place a short time ago. The Princes of Rsjpootaaa hold the highest nmk in Hindoo society in India, and the asaooiatioiis oon- nected with their history not only show the bravery of the men, bat also the heroism of the women. Such being the fact, it is specially gratifying to have to announce that these Princes have made a change in the law of marriage witliin their tenritories, which Viscount Cross, the Seoretary of State for India, has oharaoterised aS one of the greateat reforms ever made In Ladia, and as to be looked npon as one of the greates advances that has taken plaoe in that oona- try dnrinff the present oentni^. Thoee oniefs nave unanimously in ConnoU aaaemUed resolved that henoeforib no gfrl riiall be married nnder the age of 14 and no itoif before be la 18. Thia ia eqnivalent to a social revolution, and ia sore to be fol- lowed all over the country. It rings the death-knell of the abomination of infant â- Murriagea.
