Telling Bad News,

ONE of the hardest things on earth to
do is to break sad news to people. You
never can tell exactly how it is going to
strike them. They may faint, or they
may go into paroXysm of grief, or
they may stand it with stony calmness.
But generally they do what you least
expect, and that is why it makes it so
hard to tackle them. A Northern New
Hampshire Deacon had very embar-
RAISING time of 1t recently when on one
Of these sad errands. He called upon a
bereaved citizen, and, assuming an ex-
preston of countenance sufficiently
lugubriOus to dull the edge of a jack
knife, said: "My dear friend, don't be
alarmed" Immediately the citizen,
who had up to that moment shown no
sign of alarm, began to look scared.
Such is the contrariness of human ma
ture. The Deacon continued: "This
is a world of sorrow and tribulation,
and we ought to nerve ourselves to bear
its Ills Deacon, what're you driving
at?" asked the now thoroughly aroused
citizen. "It's always a hard duty to be
the bearer of i'll news" said the Deacon.
Yes, yes! Go on" cried the citizen,
growing more nervous every instant.
60 Can you stand news of bereavement" P"
asked the Deacon. "Good heavens, III
try! Is it very badP Do tell me what
it isP" exclaimed the pale and trembling
man. "You won't faintPn "No, mol
But if you keep me in this suspense
shall!n And the citizen was in such a
state of scare that he shook all over and
was as white as a sheet. "Well, bear it
with Christian resignation, my dear
friend,n said the Deacon. "Your moth
er-in-law-now don't lose your self
coAtrol-your mother-in-law is dead. {"
The look of Mortified anxiety, grief and
despair passed from the citizens face.
look of supreme disgust took its
place. "You great idiot" he cried,

time to tell me thatP Don't you know
any better than to come here and fright
en- me this wayP By Jove, sir, you act
ed so burned melancholy and awful that
you scared me most to death. 1 thought

The Help Yourself Society.

COULD not help stopping in the
midst Of my writing Just now, to watch
some little sparrOws on the porch roof
just outside my window. It is a regu-
lar feeding place for them, for we scat
ter crumbs there every day, Just for
the pleasure of their company. Even
the baby has caught the spirit. He is
something like
"That bad little girl Of Ounce
Who never would finish her crust"
So he saves his for the sparrows. It is
raining and Louie's last crust is beau
tifully soaked, just on the edge Of the
roof. Down came an old mOther-spar-
row and four great baby-sparrows. I
never should have known they were
her babies only for their actions, for
they were as big as she was and a great
deal fatter. They never offered 10 touch
the bread, but all sat in a row scream
ing at their mother to wait upon them,
with their mouths wide open
There was no reason in the world
why they should not help themselves,
only that they always had been fed by
her. They we're not patient children,
but each seemed TO be crying out ." Ne
first, mother. me frstr' in such a dis
tracing way, that the poor mother
seemed quite confused in her efforts 10
satisfy them. They would hop before
one another, and catch the crumbs
from each others mouths in a very
greedy way; and if the mother tried to
eat a bite; most likely they snatched
that up. too. No wonder she was very
thin and looked tired, at least / thought
so. She flew off with bite Of bread to
a tamarack tree near by, to eat it in
peace, but three greedy children pur-
sued her. The fourth stayed by the
bread, and it was funny to see his at
tempts at helping himself He would
dive his bill into the bread and then
jump back as if it had burned him.
l have seen some great children about
as helpless and exacting, and their poor
mothers usually looked thin and weary
and troubled. From morning till night
you will hear such questions as Mother,
where is my history?' "Mother, won't
you sew on my shoe -buttOns?' Mother.
won't you sew a button on my iacket?"
Cant you put up my luncheon, 1 am
in such hurry?" Every one of these
things the boys and girls could have
done quite as well for themselves if
they had only thought so. There is no
reason why boy should not learn to
sew on jacket-button as well as his
sister. 1t is not half so hard as learn
ing to skate or whittle. Boys and girls,

live long and happily with you, Join at

Large Cutie Fish.

ALL exact information about gigantic
Cephalopoda is of interest not only as
showing what immense marine creatures
do exist, but as preparing us for the
possibility of meeting with still greater.
Prof Verrill has collected a great deal
of accurate and recent information as
to the North American species, of
which he publishes a list in the Ameri-
can Journal Of Science, from which we
Gull the following; On November 2,
1873, fisherman was out in boat with
two other men near Leith Bay Copper
Mine, NOtre Dame Bay, when they OBJ
served some bulky object not far from
shore, which they approached, thinking
it might be part of wreck. To their
horror they found themselves close to q
large fish having big CLASSY eyes. 1t
was making desperate efforts to escape,
and was churning the water into foam
by the motion of its immense arms and
tails. Finding it partially disabled,
they plucked up courage and threw the
boats grapnel, which sank into its soft
body. BY means of the stout rope at
tached to the grapnel and tied to a tree
the fish was prevented going out with
the tide; its struggles were terrific, as,
in a dying agony, it flung its great arms
about. At length it became exhausted,
and as the water receded it expired.
Its body, from the beak of the mouth to
the extremity of the tail, measured
twenty feet, and one of the ten1acles,
or arms, measured thirty-hve feet. This
is the largest specimen yet measured OF
ArchteuthiS priHceps. Prof. Verrill
mentions eighteen species as now known
on the northeastern coast Of America,

A MOTHERS LETTER PROM HOME

Ny Darling Mammal
PAPA says ] may write and tell you
that we are all well and you must enjoy
yourself and not worry about us for we
are getting along splendidly.
That's just what he told me to write,
and he has directed an envelope all
ready for me TO put the letter in. But
l don't see what he means by saying
we are all well, for there's a lot Of
things the matter with us. There's
measles, and mumps, and malaria, and
if there we're any more sicknesses that
began with NJ, guess we would have
them, too.
Grandma-she's got the malaria;

there was measles enough to 90 round,
and we've all had 'em except me. 1

them, too, but grandma says / had 'em
nine years ago when l was only a year
old.
Billy, the boy that carries news
papers, brought US the mumps. and we
aint much obliged to him. 1 asked him
what he wore his face in worsted COM

got a corn behind his ears, and then he
asked me if saw anything green, but
OF course l couldn't through his big

it was green corn in the middle Of
winter. Hannah said, the next to-
morrow, when she saw him, that twas

here, and she said, You'll catch it,
Miss, for talking to that naughty boy

A Japanese School.GlrI.

AMONG the list of passengers who ar
rived last Tuesday on the China steam
er was a young Japanese lady by the
name of Minci Yabu, who is on her way
to college in the East to perfect her
self in English. Miss Yabu belongs to
the nobility of Japan. Her father,
Sanefusa Yabu, is high official in a de-
partment of the imperial household.
She was born in the old capital of Kioto,
and although but sixteen years of age
has some renown in her native country
as a poetess. Added to this accom-
plishment she possesses that of an artist,
devoting much of her time to landscape
painting. She is already graduate of
the Toxic Girls Normal (English)
School. She left here, in company with
her friends, in the Eastern bound train
last Friday morning for the East, where
she will remain three years. In appear
ance Miss Yabu is extremely petite, be-
ing much below the medium, of light
complexion, fascinating black eyes, and
the bright, cheerful countenance which
is generally found in ladies of rank of
Japan,-SaH Francisco Chronicle.

eighteen months old, and she's got two
mumps and lots of measles. Grandma

there's half one left inside of her, and
she's as cross as cross; she goes yqou,

keeps knocking her mumps aXidentical-
ly, all the time, and then she Just hOllers

so swelled up that it looks like little

And gives us big humps,

How a Skillful Swimmer May Easily
be Drowned.

~
We read frequently of the drowning
of good swimmers, who suddenly sink
in the water without any apparent
cause. The common explanation of
such an accident is that the swimmer is
seized with cramp; but an English
naval officer offers a different solution
of the phenomenon. He bases his
theory on his own experience. His
ship was lying for a long time off Alden
Harbor, and it was the practice for
cricketing parties to swim from the
vessel to the shore every evening, hav-
ing their clothes sent in a small boat.
OF course there was race to see who
would get to the beach first. The
writer in the course Of a sharp struggle
for the lead opened his mouth to
breathe, and some of the spray flying
nthe wind got into his throat and took
the passage down the trachea. -
could neither ne says, get any breath
in nor any out, and soon began to
feel l was dying on the top OF the
water There must have been a dozen
men close to me, but could not speak,
much less call to them. kept swim
ming on for the shore. In about thirty
seconds my senses began to leave me.
l ceased swimming, and lny legs went
down, when luckily for me they touched
the bottom; a violent jump helped me
to cough up the drop OF water. stag
gered on shore and fell quite exhausted
on the beach, much to the surprise of
all the men with me-" 1t is the opin-
ion of this gentleman that many fatal
accidents to swimmers are due simply
to drop of water in the windpipe. A
conclusive proof that they are not due
to cramp is the fact that q man rescued
within two minutes of sinking in this
mysterious manner is always found to
be beyond all hope Of resuscitation.-

EDITH AND HER MUsrPs.


She took them from me, grandma
says, but don't see how she could, for
kept 'em till long after hers began.
They said she was only going to have
'em on one side, but she was most
through with the measles so she had
room enough to have 'em on both sides
Just like me.
You know 1 can't draw as well as
papa, because he is a celebrated artist,
but l thought it would be a comfort to
you to see how she looks.
Jimmy and Josey have each got n
mump apiece, and they are dreadfully
measled too. Their faces are as red as
red can be. and the little spots on them
are redder still, and their mumps are
all red and speckled too. Isn't it fun
ny? Perhaps it's because they are
twins. I've drawed a portrait of them,
and if l had time d paint it, too, so you
could see how bright their measles is.
