Home POlIteneSs,

A boy who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
one else.
A boy lacking politeness to his pa
rents may have every scmblance of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy.
We are all in danger of living too
much for the outside world, for the i'm
preston which we make in society, COW
citing the good opinions of those who are
in a sense part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and be inter
ested in us, notwithstanding these de-
fects of department and character.
We say to every boy, and to every
girl, cultivate the art of courtesy and
propriety at home-in the sitting room
and IN the kitchen as we'll as in the
parlor-and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourselves in a becom-
ing and attractive manner.
When one has a pleasant smile and
demeanor it is satisfaction TO know
that these are not put on, but that they
belong to the character and are mani.
fest at all times and under all circum-
stances

A STORY OF SHiPwRRCK HORROR
During the terrific gale Of last week, New
FJundlaud dispatches inform Us, the ship
Nonantum q 900 tons burden) bound for
Marseiles, France, was lost near the
highlands of 81. Georges Bay, on the
west coast Of New Fouudland, and be.
came a total wreck. Her whole crew,
NUMBERING seventeen, with the exception
of two, persisted miserably of cold, hun.
ger and exposure TO the inciemency of
The winter skies. The two survivors are
the mate and one OF the seamen. AS soon
AS the ships company discovered that
there WAS not the slightest hope of saving
the ship, they took TO their boats, eleven
taking refuge in the life boat and the re.
mainiug six in the second boat. The
third boat WAS stove In snC swamped
aloneside the bark The day after leav.
ing the vessel the two boats containing
elevg n men. were washed ashore. After
being on shore 4 couple of hours, the
cook, a colored man, died and was buried.
The remaining ten, after reaching the top
of the cliffs, were unable to discover any
signs of human habitation. After travel
ing about in vaiu for six days without
food or fire, and insutlic ient clothing,
with the little strength that yet remained,
they made rude camp of evergreen
houghs and lay down to die. After u
little rest through the night that brought
little reireshment, all determined To
make one final effort TO rescue themselves
from death in those solitary wilds, and
they started once more One by one
dropped in the snow, TO remain there for
ever. b. noon GEoRGs kADGER, the
mate and a seam,n named DooLEY alone
remained of the whole eleven who were
washed ashore In the life. boat, the others
having dropped down anu died of ex-
hsustion and cold. Two young men, in
habtsnts OF the highlands of st. Georges
Bay, had heard Of timber ship being
wrecked close by, snd they were on their
WAY TO the seacosst when they notice ]

strange direction sndothe zigzag move

Mrs. HemanS.

At seven years old, an age when the
ideas of most girls are limited to dolls,
romps and new frocks, Felicia's delight,
in the bright summer days, was to climb
up into an old apple-tree with volume
of Shakespeare in her hand, and lose
herself in world of imagination, among
the Rosalinds, Imogenes and Beatrices
All that was strange, weird and romantic

light nights the child, all trembling, yet
eager, would creep out into the long,
dark avenue, fearing, yet hoping, to get
a sight of the goblin. At other times,
when she was supposed to be in bed, she
would rise, dress herself, and steal out
of the house down to the sea shore
to listen to the moaning of the waves
and to indulge in twilight bath. She
was never sent to school; her education
was purely desultory. All the world Of
poetry was thrown open to her; but from
systematic studies, beyond French, Eng
lish grammar and the rudiments of Lat.
in she was wholly exempted. At seven
she began to compose verses, and at four.

Combustion from Steam Pipes.

1t is usually regarded as impossible for
a steam pipe to set fire TO wood. In a
Pittsburg steel works, steam pipe 2!
inches in diameter, carrying from 80 to
100 pounds pressure, was laid under
ground, encased in common pipe boards
about one inch thick. After three years
Of use occasion was had to dig up the
pipe, and the whole length of the wood,
en- drain was found to be charred, and
apparently burnt, about three-fourths
OF the thickness of the wood the other
fourth being partially rotted The whole
inside Of the drain was turned 10 char
coal, with here and there spots of white
ashes, showing that ignition had actually
taken place. 1t seems probable that II
the casing had not been excluded from
the air by the earth covering it would
have blazed and been entirely consumed.

pieces Of plate glass fiat on the floor, and

reflects the flowers and the palm trees
that stand here and there in huge boxes
in the halls and corridors. Upon the
branches of these -rees. or hanging from

are various small birds with brilliant
plumage, and beetles of green and gold
baskets are suspended from the ceiling.
and the effect of the whole is lovely.

which the successful party has s,riyeD,

which, beyond doubt, it will continue TO
