Living Through the Tears Again.

q great blank book was kept and labelled
"HOme Journal" Every night somebody
made an entry in it. Father set down the

wrote full account OF the sleighing party
last night, or Bob the proceedings of the

OF the book there was an entry of Jenny's
marriage, and one of the young er girls had
added description of the bridesmaids

months after that. But nothing could have
served better to bind that family of head
strong boys and girls together than the
keeping of this book. They come back to

CONCERNING LObsters.

Just low the lobster question is being
discussed in Halifax with great deal OF
animation. Ii has been said that there is a
great falling of in the product of the Nova
Scotia fisheries of this kind, and an order
has been issued forbidding any person from
fsking for, buying, selling, or having in
possession any Holsters between the tenth
Of July and twentieth of August of each
year. This prohibition has excited opposi.
ton. and one man, largely engaged in can
ming, contends that the suppositiOn that the
prod uction is falling of is an erroneous
one. He says that on the American coast
ter fishing is good, and is brisk;y car
ried on through March, April, May and
June, the close season not commencing
there till July l. Further north and east
the season is much later, and along the
shores of Nova Scotia no fishing can be
done to pay before the first of June. 1t is
mot because the spring is 80 much behind
IN N0va Scotia 40 compared with Maine,
but becanse the co asst waters are chilled by
the drift-ice from the arctic regions, thus
keeping back for several weeks that rise in

The Sultan's 9plendOr.

Official information has been published
that his majesty the Sultan has shifted his
quarters from his winter residence at Dol

OF this land for fifteen centuries. and the
position of which, at the point of the tri-
angle formed by the city of Corstan tine,
between the sea of Marmora and the harbor
of the Golden Horn, points it out as
the very key of the Bosphorus, has been
abandoned by the degenerate descendants
of ManOmet H., since its main building was
destroyed by fire in 1868. Sultan Abdul
Me0iid lavished immense treasures to build
his new palace of Dolmah Batcheh, on the
shore at the foot of the Pera hill; round the
turning of the left northern bend of Golden
Horn, past the artillery arsenal of Tophaneh,
and tue suburb of FondoOkh; and not

We are thus at no loes how to understand
His language when He speaks of the state

An unknown man entered hosiery store
on Woodward avenue yesterday and asked to
be shown "a few socks" When he learned
the price per pair of woolen ones he put
them aside and said:
II guess I'll keep on wearing cotton ones.
They say if you wear 'em right along through
the winter your feet don't get cold"
Some cotton socks were handed out, and
he persuaded the dealer to drop from twenty
to fifteen cents per pair. Then he said:
II can buy the same kind as these in Toledo
for ten cents"
cit doesn't seem possible" replied the dea-
Ter. "Will you swear to it? 2"
II will. I'll make affidavit to the fact
The dealer told him to go around to JUS
tice, make the affidavit, and he should then
have four pairs at 10 cents per pair. The
stranger was as good as his word, and he
chuckled over his shrewdness, until the docu-
ment was made out and he had been sworn.
Then the Justice remarked:
"A dollar is the fee.
Something came over the stranger about
that date. His knees wobbled little, and he
swallowed as if something choked him. He
handed over the dollar, walked out, and the
four pairs of socks are still left on the shelf.
If the shrewd chap made any remarks to
himself, he probably whispered:
''Virtue is its own reward, and you are so
pounds of fool!''

A CHINESE merchant late in August jour-
neyed by river from Shaohsing to Hange-
how with $500 in pocket and bag. The two
boatmen whom he had hired determined to
murder him. Accordingly they moored the
boat at dusk in secluded spot and remarked
to him that AS one of them was sick they
could not 60 on to the village that night
Their faces belied their tongues; the merch-
ant, suspecting foul play, hailed four small
boats and offered the fishermen a dollar
apiece if they would stay by him all night.
They agreed the night passed quietly. When
morning came the two convalescent sailors
presented each fisherman with dollar and
a half and the merchants compliments. A
fisherman's wife suggested that they should
go on board and thank the merchant for Civ
ing them more than they had bargained for.
Her husband assented; they stepped on board;
there lay the merchant with his throat cut
frem ear to ear. The murderers offered them
share of the spoils, and the husbands palm
itched and his eyes did wink but the good
wife had sensitive conscience. "What!'

and paid us for it, too and now that he is
murdered, are we to reap the benefits p

Paris, was the richest seen for years. and the
bridesmaids, her two sisters, were almost as
gay, while the chancel Of All Saints chapel
groaned with rare tropical plants. The break
fast IN the ballroom of the Travers residence
atterward was one Of the finest things ever
gotten up. The center of the table, which
was IS feet long and 13 wide, was filled with
moss-bedded flowers, the moss foundation
alone filling two wagons, and the flower dis
play costing 81, 900. The bride, in addition
to the substantial present Of her father, re-
ceived set of diamonds each from Mr.. Lor-

There were many other magnificent presents.

When man is splitting wood and stick
flies up and blacks his eyes, he must prepare
to endure all the taunts and jeeIs which the
world intlicts on pirate. Social standing
counts for nothing, and dignity can't be made

postor on this paper took up his little ak and
broke stick in two and one end flew into
his eye, he knew that he must either remain
in the house for two weeks or go out and
face the worlds sneers He decided to face
the sneers, and during one short halliday he
noted down the following expressions:
'lt's all right Of course it was stick of
wood. Oh, yes"

"Well, who knocked you down this timer"
ooh, I've had the same thing all my eye,
and always laid it to stick Of wood
Ha, ha. The policeman struck hard,
didn't he p
''Of course it was stick of wood-ye-

Then there were some people who pointed
him out as the abductor Of Charlie Ross, and
people who thought he was one of the Gad's
Hill robbers, and over fifty respectable men
asked him why he didn't get the other one
