YOUNG FOLKS. IiiQUBT WITH. THE TUI‘T. Once upon a time a queen had a little son, who was so ugly and ill made that for a long time the poor little baby was thought hardly human. However, a good fairy, who pre- sided at his birth, assured his mother that, though ugly, he would have so much sense and wit that he would never be disagree- able; moreover, she bestowed on him the power of communicating these gifts to the person he should love best in the world. At this the queen was a little comforted, and became still more so when, aesoouas he could speak, the infant began to say such pretty and clever things that everybody wrs charmed. with him. (I forgot to mention that his name was R‘quet with the Tuft, because he was born with a curious tuft of hair on the top of his head.) Seven or eight years after this the queen of a neighboring country had two little daughters, twins, at whose birth the same fairy presided. The elder twin was more beautiful than the dayâ€"the younger so ex- tremely ugly that the mother's extravagant joy in the first was all turned to grief about the second. So, in order to calm her feel- ings, the fairy told her that the one daughter mould be as stupid as she was pretty, while the other would grow up so clever and charming that nobody would miss her want of beauty. “Heaven grant it i” sighed the queen; “but are there no means of giving a little sense to the one who is so beautiful i” " I can do nothing for her, madam,” returned the fairyâ€"“ nothing as regards her own fortunes ; but I grant her the power of making the person who best pleases her as handsome as herself." Accordingly, as the young princesses grew up, their perfectious grow with them ; and nothing was spoken of but the beauty of the older and the wit of the younger. True. their faults increased equallyâ€"the one became uglier and the other more stupid, da by day. Unlucky fair one i she never h a word to say for herself, or else it was the silliest word imaginable, and she was so awkward that she could not place four tea- cups in a row without breaking at least one of them, nor drink a glass of water without spilling half of it over her clothes. Beauty is a great charm ; yet, whenever the sisters went out together. those who were attracted by the elder's lovely face, in less than half an hour were sure to be seen at the side of the younger, laughing at her witty and pleasant sayings, and altogether deserting the poor beauty, who had just sense enough to find it out, and to feel that she would have given all her good looks for one half of her sister’s talents. _ One day, when she had hid herself in a wood, and was crying over her hard fate, she saw coming toward her a little man, very ugly, but magnificently dressed. Who should this be but Prince Riquet with the Tuft'.’ He had seen her portrait, and had fallen desperately in love with her, and secretly quitted his father’s kingdom that he might have the pleasure of meeting her. Delighted to find her alone. he came forward with all the respect and politeness im- aginable. But he could not help noticing how very melancholy she was, and that all the elegant compliments he [made her did not seem to affect her in the least. “ I cannot comprehend, madam," said he, howso charming and lovely a lady can be so very sad. Never did I see any one who could at all compare with you.” “That’s all you know," said the princess, and stopped. “ Beauty," continued the prince, sighing, “is so great an advantage that, if one possess- ed it. one would never trouble oneself about any thing else.” " I wish I were as ugly as you and had some sensc, rather than be as handsome as I am, and such afool." "Madam," said Riquet politely. though her speech was not exactly civil, “ nothing shows intellect so much as the modesty of believing one does not possess it.'.' “ I don’t know that : but I know 1 am a sat fool, and it vexes me so, that I wish was dead." cried the princess bitterly. “ If that is all, madam, I can easily put an end to your grief, for I have the power of making the person I love best as clever as I please. I will do it, provided you consent to marry me." ‘ood dumb with astonish- ment. Sheâ€"to marry that little frightful creatureâ€"scarcely a man at all i “ I see." said quuet, “ that my proposal offends and grieves you. Well, I will give you a year to consider it.” Nowthe young lady was so stupid that she thought a year's end was a long way off â€"so long that it seemed as if it might not come at all. or something might happen be. tween whiles. And she had such a lo g to be clever and admired that she thought at all risks. She would accept the chance of becoming so. Accordingly she promised Riquet to marry him that day twelvemonth. No sooner had she said it than she felt her- self quite another bein . She found she could at once say anything s e chose, and say it in the most graceful and brilliant way. She be. gen s lively conversation with Prince Riquet and shattered so fast and so wittily that he began to be afraid he had given her so much cleverness as to leave himself none, Whenshe returned to the palace all the court was astonished at the change. She, who had annoyed everybody by the import inent, tasteless or downright foolish things she uttered. now charmed everybody by her wit, her pleasantness and exceeding good sense. The king himself began to come to her apartment and ask her advice instate sfhirs. Her mother. and indeed the whole kingdom were delighted :the only person to be pitied was the poor younger sister, of whom nobody now took the least notice. Meantime, princes came in throngs to ask in marriage this wonderful princess, who was as cleveras she was beautiful :but she found none to suit her, probably because the more sense a lady has the more difficult she is to please. As for her promise to quuet with the Tuft, being given in the days when she wassoduii and stupid, it new never once came into her head : until one day, being quite perplexed by her numerous suitors, she went to take a solitary walk and think the matter over, when by chance she came into the ammo wood where she had met the prince Tut-re. all of a sudden. she thought she heard a queer running about and chatter ing underground. “Fetch me that spit," cried one: “Put some more wood on that fire," said sucther; and by and by the earth opened, showing a great kitchen filled with cooks, cooking a splendid banquet. Thc were all working merrily at their savers duties, and singing together in the most lively chorus. “What is all this about?" asked the amazed princess. “If you please, madam," repied the head- onok, politely, “we are cooking the Wedding- dinner of Prince quuet with the Taft, who is to be married tc-morrow.” “Tomorrow !" cried the princess, all at once recoilecting her promise ; at which she was so frightened that she thought she would have fallen to the earth. Greater still was her alarm when at only a few steps‘ distance, she beheld Riquet, dressed splend- idly like a prince and a bridegroom. “ You see me, princess, exact to my word; and I doubt not you are the same. come to make me the happiest of mankind." “ Prince,” said the lady, frankly. "I must confess that such was not my intention, and I fear I shall never be able to do as you do. sire." “You surprise me, madam.” “I can well believe it ; and if I had to do with a brute, instead of a gentleman of sense and feeling, I should be very uneasy," re- turned she ; “ but since I speak with the cieverest man in the world, I am sure he will hear reason, and will not bind me, now a sensible woman, to a promise I made when 1 was only a fool.” “ If I were a fool myself, madam, I might well complain of your broken promise ; and being, as you say, a man of sense, should I not complain of what takes away all the happiness of my life? Tell me candidly, is there anything in me, except my ugliness, which displeases you? Do you object to my birth. my temper, my manners 2" “No, truly," replied the princess; "I like everything in you, except”â€"and she hesi- tated courteouslyâ€"“except your appear- anoo.” "Then, madam, I need nct'iose my happi- ness; for if I have the gift of making clever whosoever I love best, you also are able to make the person you prefer as handsome as ever you please, Could you love me enough to do that l" “ I think I could,” said the princess, and her heart being greatly softened toward him, she wished that he might become the hand- somest prince in all the world. No sooner had she done so than Riquet with the Taft appeared in her eyes the most elegant young man she had ever seen. Ill-natured people have said that this was no fairy gift, but that love created the change. They declare that the princess, when she thought over'her lover’s persever- ance, patience, good humor and discretion, and counted his numerous fine qualities of mind and disposition, saw no longer the deformity of his features; that his hump was merely an exaggerated stoop, and his awkward movementsibeoame only an inter- esting eccentricity. ~N ay, even his eyes, which squinted terribly, seemed always looking on all sides for her, in token of his violent love, and his great red nose gave him an air very martial and heroic. However this may be, it is certain that the princess married him; that either she retained her good sense, or he never felt the want of it ; and he never again became uglyâ€"or, at least, not in his wife’s eyes; so they both lived very happy until they died. .â€"_.â€".oâ€"â€"-â€"-â€" Kuccked out on His Specialty. Some friends of ours are bringing up their small boy in what they consider a properly devotional path. Among other serious exer- cises he has been trained to say grace at table and expected to do so regularly. But the other day a clergyman happened to visit them, and of course madam made a sign to ask the blessing. Just as Master Boy was opening his mouth the vistor began, to the am: zament of the regular incumbent. He held in as well,as he could until the “Amen” was said, and then he howled in a hoarse but finely audible whisper into his mother’s ear, “Well, ma, ain’t he got cheek !" A Little Too Previous. Ayouthful married couple, whose house has recently been glorified by the addition of afac simile of the beautiful little mother, decided to have the christening service at home. Aveuerable missionary was called to officiate. He took the babe in his arms and addressed a few words of advice to the young perents. “See that you train up this child in the way that he should go : that you surround him with the best influence, and that you give him a good example. so who knows but what he may becomes.

The latest story that has been sprung on an anxious public relates toa parrot that was sold into a good moral family and shocked the household very much by using profane language. Its vocabulary of indecent expie' tives was extensive and its utterance of them lavish. After the parrot had sworn the minister out of the house one day the indig- uant purchaser took it back to the original owner and said: “ Heavens, men, I can': keep this bird. He swears too much." “ That's all right," said the original owner, “ you can cure him. As soon as he swears the next time seize him by the tail and whirl him around and you'll break him of his habi'.” The opportunity came as soon as the purchaser reached home and he caught the unlucky bird by the tall and violentlv sawed the air in circular fashion with it.

All these show increased earnings over previous years and a steady advance in the volume of business through- out all parts of the country. Railways furnish, perhaps, the most reliable data as to the condition of a country on this continent which is more of a producing and exporting than an importing and consuming portion of the earth’s surface. Thus great lines, like the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific, indicate from year to year not only the con- dition of business, but also the growth of the country. Regarded in this light these reports are eminently satisfactory, showing, as they do, a healthy and prosperous advance in all desirable directions. heard of such a thing year when they have sprung suddenly into fashion among English girls. Album is made by having a blank-book of good thick paper (such as is made for mounl' ing photographr), and in it pasting a scrap. about two inches square. of each new dress which the owner of the album purchases. Under each sample is written the date when the dress was first worn, and the cost may also be added in cipher, for private refer- ence. There are some t advantages attending this new hobby. but first let us look at it from the side of sentiment only. Imagine for a moment that your mother had always kept such a record; could any- thing be more fascmating than to turn over its pages and look with pleased interest at a bit of the pink gingham which she wore to her first picnic, or the scrap like the laven- der silk which she had on the day when she met your father for the first time! Could anything be more delightful to children than stories of their mother's youth thus illustrated! And would not tender love and spmpsthy fill their childish hearts as they came to the little square of black bombazino which marked their mother's grief for the baby brother who died before they were born? The power of association would bring back many a scene to the mother’s mind, as she turned over the old book, and thus allow her to add to the list of those much-loved home stories which begin, “ When I was a little girl.” Now for the practical side. If a girl starts a Dress Album and keeps it carefully, I am sure that the result will be to make her more prudent and economical in her purchases, as she sees before her such a faithful mirror of her expenditure. Will not her heart sink for shame as her eyes fail upon asample of the heiiotrope nun’s veiling which she insists on buying, against her mother's advice, and which one bright sun faded beyond remedy? An object lesson like this will do more good than a thousand lecturesl A thoughtful girl will begin to consider, as she looks over her album, whether she is doing right to spend so much money on her dress, when so many good causes are standing still for lack of means, and before she buys a new dress she will ask herself, “ Do I really need it 2" not “ Will it be becoming l" A good and lasting lesson in prudence may be learned from the pattern of the thin dress which was worn on a yachting ex- cursion in spite of rave remonstrance from those older and wrser, and which resulted in an attack of bronchitis and three weeks spent in bed. So by all means begin to keep a Dress Album, and do not fail to learn from it the lessons in prudence and economy which it will teach to a thinking mind. As you show it to your friends I think that you may safely say (notwithstanding Solo- mon's assertion), “ See this is new.”-[J'ulia B. Schaufiisr. New York has in its midst a shrine do- dicated to the Heathen God J see. The pigtsil celestials take up a collection at the portals of the sanctuary, offer it to J ass and return the contributionto the original donor as be quite the temple. Thus roast pigs and fowls are ofi‘ered to the Pagan deity toappease his wrath and soothe him, and when he refuses to partake, as his bronze highnese ever does, the edibles are taken home again and eaten by the almond-eyed disciples of Confucius. About as practical in their religion were the ancient Homeric Greeks. Immense barbecues were held in honor of the gods, but it is to be observed that all of the fat oxen that went to the gods was the steam and savor arising from the cooking. While the steam was as cending heavenwards to the mansions of the cloud capped Jupiter and other celestial deities, Greek leaders were getting away with the fat and juicy joints of the sacrifice. This kind of religion has its good points. An appeal is made by the Vicar Apostolic of Labrador for funds to sand provisions to the famine-stricken people on the Labrador coast, and if their lives are to no saved it appears that {there {is no time to be lost. There ought to be no hesitation about send- ing the required relief, but the better way to assist these people would be to bring them away from the barren coast which offers them no reasonable prospect of prosperity and where every now and then they are brought to the verge of starvation. People who can mans e to live at all on the Labra- dor coast woul surely thrive on the Pacific coast. Count Von Moltke, who has just com- pleted his 89th year, isthe oldest among the remarkable number of aged great men who grace the closing decade of the nine- teenth century. He is truly a man of this century ; coming into existence with it, he has passed through its most stormy scenes, and been present at some of its greatest events. He has seen an old world pass away and a new one arise. His career is perhaps the most remarkable of any great man of his time. Unlike many of them he gained no advance from the catastrophes of a. cen- tury filled with the wrecks of old institu- tions. His rise was steady on the lines of a purpose adopted early in life. Unswerving devotion, constant attention, indomitable perseverance, were the elements of his suc- cess. He embodied the German spirit for the unification of the Fatherland, and marched with it from its inception at the overthrow of the first Napoleon to its great triumph on the downfall of third. French Housekeeping. In an article on “A French Woman at Home” in the "eries J ourual,” Dorothea says :~ Sho helps to cook the dinner she has boughtâ€"for servants are wasteful with the charcoal and she knows to an inch how little she can use. In that marvellous placeâ€"a French kitchenâ€"where two or three little holes in a stove cook such delicate dishes, and perform such culinary feats as our great roaring coal fires have no conception ofâ€" shc flits about like a fairy, creating magical messes out of raw material of the most ordin- ary description. Yes, though a lady born and bred, refined, elegant, and agreeable in society, a hello in her way, yet she does not thinkit beneath her dignity to lighten the household expenses by practical economy and activity. The dinner of a French family is cheap and simple. There is always a soup, the meat of the stewpanâ€"sometimes, if not strict in ex. pendituro, another plate of meatâ€"generally two vegetables. dressed and eaten separately, and sometimes, not always, a sweet dish ; if not that, a little fruit such as may be the cheapest and in the ripest season. . But there is very little in each thing, and it is rather in arrangement than in material that they appear rich. The idea that the French are gourmauds in private life is in- correct. They spend little in eating and they eat inferior things though their cook- ery is rather a science than a more accident of oivil’zstion. At home the great aim of the French is to save any self-sacrifice that will lead to this result is cheerftu under- taken, more especially in eating than in the more luxury of mere idleness. No French woman will spend a cent to save herself trouble. She would rather work like a dray horse to buy an extra yard of ribbon or a new pair of gloves than lie on the softest sofa in the world in placid fine- ladyism, with crumpled gauze or bare hands.

Portugal and its affairs have been brought into momentary prominence by the death of King Luiz, a sovereign remarkable more for the elegance of his taste and his literary ac- complishment: than for his abilities as a ruler. Portugal, however, is an interesting country of which, notwithstanding the cor- dial connection which has always existed between it and Great Britain, most people know nothing, or next to nothing, more than the bare facts relating to its history and policy as a European state. The literature of Portugal, especially its ballads, curiously preservative of an Arabic and Saracenic origin, is a mine that has yet to be explored by English students. The Portuguese have been famous as seafaring adventurers from the earliest times and have always been re- markable for their success in dealing with savage peoples. It is claimed that Portu' guess traders had penetrated every nook and cranny of Africa, from the Zambesi to the Congo and Niger, on the north, and the Zanzibar coast on the east. in search of gold and ivory, long before Livingston or Stanley set foot on the dark continent. They are a people without prejudices in matters of trade and, being devoid of color anti- pathies, inter-marry with blacks, yellows and reds in their colonies. From these unions a curious race has developed that is known throughout the tropics for keenness and urscrupulousness as traders. British creditors of the Portuguese Gavernment are numerous. and the recent trouble at Delagoa Bay was in the nature of an effort to throw cfi‘ the yoke imposed by British capital and enterprise. In spite of their adventurous character the Portuguese are the most cou- servative people in the world. It seems that, in ideas and habits, they are incapable of progressive change and every year they drop farther in the rear of the march of European progress. The new King is said to be energetic and ambitious, and may possibly find full employment for his abilities in the work of internal reform. of which the kingdom stands greatly in need. .â€"â€"â€"â€"’â€"â€"â€"â€" A Big Phosphate Deal.
