An Akron, Ohio, cat, relying upon
his nine lives to save him, allowed his

with the ''banner cry of hell' emanat-

The romantic incident of the Atlantic
disasterhas been the discovery that one
of the men, common sailor, and one
whose life was sacrificed in efforts to
save others, was young woman twen-
ty or twenty-five years of age. Hersex
was not known until her body was
washed ashore, and the rude clothing
removed preparatory for burial. She
had served as a common sailor for three
voyages, and was a favorite shipmate
with all. She is described as having
fewer of the vices incident to sailors
life than is usual, but she was, never
theless, as jolly an old tar as any of
them. One of the survivors of the crew
remarked, 81 didn't know Bill was a
woman He used to take his liquor as
regular as any of US, and was always a
begging and stealing tobacco. He was
a good fellow, though, and I'm sorry he
is woman She most singular part
of the whole story is that the woman
was an American,s and was about the
only one of that nationality belonging
to the crew. Who she was and where
she came from, and her motive for lead
ing such a strange life of, hardship,
never was and never viii be known.

JENNY LIMBS SIMPLIc1TY.-Says
Hans Christian Andersen, of Jenny

one occasion only did | hear her express

residence in Copenhagen. Almost ev-
cry evening she appeared either in the
opera or at concerts; every hour was

the object of which was to assist the
unfortunate children, and to take them
out of the hands of their parents, by
whom they were misused and COM

DoN'T TELL FATHER. There is
many good mother who plans the ruin
of the child she dearly teaching
it the first lessons of wrong doing, by
simply saying, "Now don't tell your
father Surely mothers do it thought
lessly, ignorantly, not considering that
it is first lesson in deception. Not
at all strange that gamblers and liars
and thieves, and hypocrites, and dis
trustful, evil-minded people so abound,
when weak, loving mothers, with hon.
eyed words and caresses, sweeten the
little teachings that SO soon ripen into
all kinds of meanness and unprincipled
rascality.
We heard a kind, well-meaning
mother say to the puny baby in her
arms, Well, birdie shall have its good
candy every day; bad papa shan't
know it-see how it love it," and the
little thing, whose reach of life had
whole winter in it, snatched at the
bright red and blue colored poison, and
made as many glad motions as though
it took its whole body to suck it with.
The poor little thing had been fed on
candy, almost, and fretted for more
whenever her mouth wasn't filed.
Even the nourishment nature provided
didn't wholly satisfy it, for it wasn't as
sweet as candy. We thought it was no
wonder, if children were taught, even
in babyhood, that papa was bad and
ugly and unkind, that in youth they
should call him "snob" and the sold
man." and the mother, whom they had
learned by experience had no stability
of character, and was capable of de-
ception, not strange they should so little
respect her as to call her the ''old
woman" ra ,-
We shudder when we hear the fire.
quent words drop from young lips, 80,
| must not let father know that The
father may be stern man, rigid in his
way of bringing up his children, but he
has a heart somewhere-and surely,
truthful, honest, loving words from his
own child will find that warm place.
So it is best never to deceive him in
anything, but keep his confidence
whole and mistaken, and the white
ness of the soul unstained by that loath-
some sin, deception.

PLAIN FEATUREs.-Plainness of fea-
lures is not at all incompatible with
beauty There is great difference be-
tween a persons being plain and being

and yet attractive and interesting in
countenance and manner, and surely no
one could call such a person ugly.

An old boniface or tapster, who kept
a small grocery and saloon, had a habit
of eternally playing cards, and especi-

game, until he was hard to beat.
Scarcely any man ever came in his es-

young farmer came in to see the old
mans daughter Kate, and while with
her the old man came up and said
Hiram, I'll play you game of
