An amusing story was told a few day ago regarding the young sons of tho emperor, who are continually getting into mischief. During the afternoon games the chamberlain had introduced them Into tho mysteries ol tho opera hat, which pleased the children, "because," as tho martial crown prince Bold, I "it goes off like a catinon and will bo a good ! thing with which to frighten mamma," Shortly afterward they wero in tho reccp. i tion rajom with thoir father, when the court prooohor. Dr. KoeeL was announced. Ha was asked to enter, and the children, after greeting him, wero sent to the corridor to await the audience's end. Here they espied tho court preacher's high hat, and, believing all such appendages possessed of the qualities of the chapeau claque, considered it a fit object for experiment. Littlo Eitel Fritz, tho most adventurous ol tho four, took it In his small armsand pressed it against his breast with all his might But it would not grow less, tho expected report failed to como, and the Uttle foUow tugged away In vain. "1 cannot do lt," he cried, looking for advice to the older brother, who stood uniformed at his side. The crown prince drew his sword, and, straightening up as a soldier, commanded at once, as the brilliant thought camo Into his head, "Sit upon iti" Straightway It was done. The hat was crushed and Eitel Fritz rolled upon the floor. The uproarious laughter which foUowed the accomplishment of this feat brought the emperor from tho room, asking what was tht cause of the unusual hilarity. The crown prince pointed to the dilapidated remains of the court preacher's hat and uld: "It would not go off at first, but I commanded Eitel Fritz to sit upon It, and then it cracked just like tbe others." The emperor could not forbear to laugh, whUo scolding the children for their pranks, He presented tho hat to Dr. Rogel as a memento of his future ruler, and sent the servant to purchase a new one.

It ls now some yenrs since Mr. Alfred Collier wrote his yawning song—an Invitation to drowsiness not less potent than the best after dinner speech of a magistrate or th. apod old three decker sermon. Yawning haa generaUy been associated with comedy. Thero have oven been coarse wags who, in reference to tho weU known "catching" I power ot yawning, hove evolved the pro- j verb, "What ls mine is yawn,"—a confu»ion j of "meum" and "tuum," only defensible in the case of a sleep walker.

In thot town ono Mr. Lackey, having indulged In a large i yawn, ruptured somo of tbe cords In the vertebra, and "remains at present In a critical condition."

MENTAL Much is nowadays written by scientific men as to the mosl effective agents capable of arresting that constanl expenditure of energy which results from the proper employment of our faculties. Perhaps It may be said thai in sparsely populated countries Bitch as British Columbia this strain is not nearly so severe as that which results in the great cities .ii the United states and oi Europe. This toacertaln extent is true, though the struggle for existence like the possession of happiness is probably nearly "sqared." no matter what our falling or ill what country wa' reside. It is. however, toills arising Irom the strain upon the city workers that so many leaders of science have lately turned their attention. The more important of these may he briefly summarized: excessive and persistent brain work without sulliiicnt rest: brain- work in persons incapable by nature; or by reason of imperfect training; the endeavor to carry on simultaneously several occupations; and lastly, over anxiety antl worry connected with daily life, striving after success, Ac. A high authority has told us repeatedly in his popular science lectures to the people of London that it is of but little use looking to the Slate or society in general for amelioration ot these evils. It is the Individual man or woman who must each adopt such measures ns will either prevent or mitigate "wear and tear," and which will serve to combat their untoward results when once developed. Let ns turn for one moment to nn instance recently referred to in a speech by Mr. Oladstose, viz., the management of liusiness in lhe House of Commons. This, at lhe present day. is such that diligent attendance dining a -ingle session is sufficient to wear out lhe physical nntl mental powers ol' the strongest man. "The late hours, the long sittings, the frivolous questionings, the weariness and emptiness of many of lhe debates, furnish an ample explanation of the want of lone of many of those who endeavor lo tlo their duly." The London Spectator in referring In this subject assorts that al any rate the endurance of the racket of society is altogether voluntary, und infers therefore lhal il could be dispensed with.

"Oul of sight, out of niiiial." holds good in both fuses, and in that of the former, an increased measure of success is followed by more imperious demands on the purl nf society. If advantages are to be retained, their possessor must show that he is able to bear the popular gaze, ami the exhibition flatters those whose support will tend to bring further successes within reach. If society-haunting afforded the necessary relaxation to the over-worked bruin, it might be excused on that ground; but unfortunately a heavy price is often paid by men who give In society— i. '.. in great cities—the time which ought to be devoted to rest or relaxation. We have often been told lhat ill-health from overwork among American children is attributed, not to school pressure, but to parental ambition and to lhe "society engagements" ol the pupils. Iii the primitive state of society thc more important of the laws of health a-e unconsciously obeyed; but this passive condition of obedience is not possible for the net ive workers in large cities.

The master's defence was that the boy had disobeyed orders, and tin* magistrates dismissed lhe ease with the remark that they were wrong. It buys must be caned, lhe fane ought to leave n physical mark, or it is not likely lo make a moral impression. Hut in this case the boy's mother deposed that the master ml mi I ted to her that he was in a bad temper at the time, and I cannot see that the uiastet' denied it. To my mind, If the mother's evidence be correct, il alters the case altogether. If the cane is to do any gootl, il must be used in cold blond, anil with judicial calm, otherwise the boy is certain to resent it—not to mention the probability of his getting morn than can by any possibility be good for him.

Ono of the earliest and most vivid of j [coy personal recollections is of the grand I neteoric shower of Nov. 13, 1833. A Jmilar occurrence is recorded as happen- j ling in northern Europe near the close of ■the last century. But no meteorological i l.lisplay has equaled that of 1833 in ex- j [tent and duration from the beginning of Rhe historic period. VEXED QUESTIONS. With reference lo the origin of these Juieteors thero have been divers conjee- Mures, most of which aro nt best Lap- kiazard speculations. Anuiuberofastron- i imers hnvo regarded them as fragments I ,>f an exploded planet small in size, but I I of a liko sort with tbo hundred and odd asteroids that have been discovered be- I tween the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Kepler himself thought that a Iarg6 ■alauet wns needed in this vast Interplant* Lry space to perfect tbo rhythm of the Bides and tho fabled music of the spheres. I The subsequent discoveries of Piazzi aud ' Olbers nntl tlieir successors havo fully I justified this opinion. This old astronomical fancy of a lost Pleiad likewise j |inds its vindication, it may be in these Sjsteroidsand in the far moro numerous uicleoroids which havo since boon seen in | all parts of tbo world. Whether they be, j is suggested, the disjecta membra of ■J, peine errant und wrecked orb doomed Band damned for somo earlier Adamic ] transgression, they certainly occupy a definite placo iu our system. Their periodical occurrence with greater or lesser brilliancy in May and Novem- •ber and likewise In August and December, establish tho facts that atthese dates [ our earth in its annual travel conies In [ frequent contact with a meteoric zone. It may require another century of investigation with the aid of mightier itistru- pents than that of the Link observatory i determino whether, as is probable, tese meteoric exhibitions result from a Vast volume of nebulous matter revolving around the sun, and itself tho nur- 'sery of embryonio planets. Whatever our conclusion on these vexed questions, it was certainly not I only the privilege of a lifetime, but a millennium, to be nn eye witness of such a I stupendous and resplendent spectacle. I I distinctly remember being aroused about I 4 o'clock in tho morning by the weird 1 outcries of tho domestic servants. They [ seemed possessed with the idea that the I day of judgment was at hand, and 1 read- ' ily recall tho efforts of my father to quiet I the uproar by assuring tbem that there I was no causo of alarm. Of course, I know nothing of scientific Import. My impressions wero thoso of elation rather than fright. To mo the whole scene was nbout what I have since conceived of tho pyrotechnic displays of tho Vauxhall garden or a full fledged Chinese feast of lanterns. A boy .reader will best understand the aspect ol ['things when I add that aside from thc fizz and tho pop it waa like a thousand Chrlstmases condensed into ouo. ScientiOc observers hnvo slnco told us that theso moteoroids all seemed to pro- (ceed from a point in tho constellation Leo. For this reason they have been since called Leonids. My boyish remem- .brance accords witb this statement of the scientists. Usually they issued singly, but nt times they bad tho appearanco of a stream of lire. A few that I observed were very large, ono or moro not unlike the nucleus of Halloy's comet in 183*i, when it was receding from the sun. READY iron "A WORD OF PRATER." They nearly all seemed falling directly to tho earth, and it was a matter of childish wonderment to me that tbey did not cover the ground as I had seen falling snow flakes do at other times. The splen- ' dor of these celestial fireworks gradually waned as the dawn approached, very much to my personal regret. A great many stories are still current In regard to tbe general consternation produced by this marvelous phenomenon. In somo Instances persons were frightened Into convulsions, and several deaths were reported from different parts of the * country. In my boyhood tbere was a story current of a wealthy slaveholder in western Georgia, who was besides something of a philosopher. He resided in the center I of a large negro quarter, and being wakened by the shrieks and yells of "irly ono hundred slaves, he hurriedly iped himself in pants and slippers tpped out on his front piazza. He * surrounded with a largo uiim- ves who were frantic with tcr- 'uio ho surveyed the heavens ... of painful apprehension. b ,A?-j- j the crowd an old negro R*\\ v.- NVAv, in whose piety ho had much confidence, ho addressed him in this wise: ("Uncle Joe, do you watch tho 'seven stars' and 'the ell and yard,' and when you see them start come Into the 'big house' and wo will have o word of prayer." Of course the Pleiades were immovable, nor did the empyreal suns that blaze In tbe belt of Orion "shoot madly from their spheres." As a consequence the hypothetical "word of prayer" was unspoken. The return of daylight blotted out the meteors and calmed the superstitious fears of master and slave. Most astronomers tell us that another such spectacle will probably never be witnessed again through all the generations of men, St. John, who was a prisoner in Patmos, says: "I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal" that "the sun became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as n flg tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind."—Rev.

When the account runs for a year the burden is not so heavy. If people can pay cosh they should, and every honest dealer In our line of business will tell them so. "It Is unquestionably true that the form of payment is a temptation to purchase beyond the means to pay. "We have no trouble In selling. Our greatest difficulty Is to keep the bill down to what we consider a safe limit. People do not stop to think that they pay for their privilege of making installments at a tolerably high rate. One reason of this lack of judgment is probably because women do so much of the buying at the monthly payment stores. They often fall to estimate carefully what they can do, and the result Is that they become a source of trouble to thomselves and ua Often, too, men who avero drawing good salaries at tbe timo of the purchase, get out of work soon after, and any miscalculation on their part makes payment an uphill work. The Bpreatl of the payment stores has been suprlslng. Almost every large city now has a number of such concerns, which seem to do more than thoir ordinary share of business. In Chicago I doubt if there are as many as there wero two or threo years ago. The reason of this Is not that the scheme does not work successfully, or that there havo sprung up too many for the population. The capital required for such a business is much greater than that which is requisite for a cosh trade. It was a common practice for dealers to realize on their monthly notes at 2 or 8 per cent, a month. Thoy wero unable to carry their own paper, or borrow at legal rates, and the result was that a number of concerns have failed during tho last year ortwo. I think lt Is all nonsense to talk of the monthly payment stores cutting into the regular trade disastrously. We catch a class of patrons who would uot deal at a cash store, since they would uot bo likely to save up tho necessary money. I believo that monthly payment stores aro au Incentive to thrift and economy, lecond only to tho building associations."— Chicago News. Our Postal System. If there ls any point on which our postal system does not stand In need of Improvement lt is In tbe cheapness of postage. Our newspapers are carried within the county of their publication for nothing, and everywhere else for next to nothing, and a letter of an ounce weight Is transported from any point to any other ot our enormous area of 3,600,000 square miles for the smallest unit of letter postage known In Christendom. But a Tar moro Important matter, and ono wholly neglected, Is that of postal delivery. In other civilized countries the postofflco, receiving a letter from the writer, undertakes to deliver it to the person addressed. In our own happy land tbe postoffice receives the letter, and (except In the case of a privileged SO per cent, of the people) undertakes to carry lt to within five or ton miles of tho person addressed, and keep it there till called for. This is the mere barbarism of postal service, worthy of the dark ages before Rowland Hill. The enormous cost and loss which lt Involves become obvious to any one, on a few minutes'reflection. For example: A man living three miles from the postofflco Is anxiously expecting a letter of great importance, which may arrive any time within a fortnight He goes dally to look for lt, and on the sixth day he gets it That letter cost him twelve hours of walking, or six hours of travel for himself and horse, In othor words, tho postago on that letter has been virtually $2.03, or more.

Collis Browne tlatc Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation and Spasms. CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Toothache. Meningitis, &*., ic. From Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists Medical Hall, Simla, January 5th, 1880: To J. T. Davenport, Esq., 33 Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London, Dear Sir:—We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr. J. Collis Jrowne's Chlorodyne, has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is im* ported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, arc now relegated to thc native bazaars, and judging from their salet we fancy their sojurn there will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances infinitum of thc extiaordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhce, and 2nd Dysentery Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as. general Sedative, that have occurred und, t our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhcea, and even if the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its controlling power. We have never used *.ny other foim of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the pro] fession and the public, as wc "re of the opinion tnat the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's, is A DELIBERATE BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. We arc sir, faithfully yours, Symes & Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, Hia Excellancy the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION.—Vice-Cnancellor Sir \\\\.
