Saved by a Dog.

If ships have been strangely lost, they have been just as strangely saved. The Hortense, from New Orleans to Massa- chusetts, was nearing the Florida Straits. Before turning in for the night, her com mander warned the mate not to omit calling him at three o'clock, as they would then be approaching the double headed Shot Keys, large and danger ous rock. The night wore on. The mate went below to get something out of his chest, sat down upon it, and was soon fast asleep. The men on deck, thinking all was right, dropped off one by one, leaving Spanish lad at the helm to keep @ solitary watch. The wind changed, @ stiff breeze sprang up, and the Hortense sped swiftly on toward the dreaded rock. The captains terrier was on deck and wide awake. Rushing to his masters cabin, he jumped upon the sleeping man and woke him. Told to be quiet, Nep only parked the louder, till the thoroughly reused captain thought he might as we'll go on deck. He was just in time. Right ahead lay the rock, and seizing the helm, he put the vessel about Three minutes later, and the Hortense would have been @ wreck.

An Unexpected Reply.

Even if one is fool, it is mark of wisdom to know it. The honest Irish man in this case did not have very high opinion of himself, but he could not help betraying the mother-wit of his na- ton.
 When Bishop Whitaker was in CsSnde- laria, Nevada, he took stroll ill the out skirts of the camp with party of ladies and gentlemen. A man was seen laborl- ously turning windlass which hoisted from shaft a bucket filled with rock. The only thing remarkable about the man at the windlass was his hat, the crown of which was cut clean of, allowing the hot sun to pour down upon perfectly bald head, some waggish friends having rec- commended this arrangement as sure to produce crop of hair.
 The Bishop and his party stood watch ing the man toiling and grunting at his heavy labor for several minutes, and then the kind-hearted clergyman spoke up with concern, and said =
 "My friend, why don't you cover up your head? This hot sun will affect your brain"
 "Brain, is it p cried the man, as he gave the windlass another heavily -creak- ing revolution. "Be jabers, an if I had any brains, dye think I'd be here pullin up this bucket?"
 The Bishop and his party hastily re. 1 tired.

Ursule's Apple Sprig.
A LITTLE FRENCH STORY WITH A WEDDING
 FOR AF ENDING.

In some parts of France, says Paris letter, marriageable girls are accustomed to pluck, as they return from midnight mass on Christmas Eve, sprig of apple tree, which they put in vial full of water the vial is hung in their bed chamber in front of the window; if one bud blooms before Easter the mistress is sure to be married before the year ends Among the servants of chateau near Alencon was a chambermaid from Brit tany. She was gentle, good-natured, quiet, pious-an excellent creature every way, but-she was hunchbacked Her name was Ursule. Taking advantage of the dark night she, too, plucked sprig of apple treasure that nobody saw her, She was mistaken. A fellow-servant saw her, and made the servants hall ring with peals of laughter at poor Ursule's expense. Still, they kept the secret among themselves. They all agreed to play trick on poor Ursule Easter Eve one of the journeymen gardeners removed the old sprig of apple tree from the vial in Ursule's bed chamber and put in its place a sprig covered with blossoms.
 When Urs1lle went into the bed-cham- Der she could not believe her eyes. She returned to the servants hall her face was radiant with delight as she showed her trophy; the laughter, jeers, hootings of her comrades revealed the trick put on her. She stood dumb, confounded trembling, scarcely able to restrain her tears. Just at this moment the mistress entered the servants hall. The mistress said: "Ursule, the apple tree sprig may he trusted; believe it you will be mar ried before Christmas next. You are a virtuous girl; I am sure you will make a virtuous wife. All you want to get a ons5and with is money; the money want d will give you" As she spoke the mistress twi7ed 1OOO-franc bank note round the sprio and returned it to Ur- s1lle. A fortnight afterward the journey nan oerdoner, who had put the trick or her, oskod her in m~rriage, but she ra- used him Cat which he was greatly j-cred) end married anothtr.

From the Stage Drivers Seat to Congress
 and Back Again.

The New York Tunes thus speaks of Frank Page, who was defeated for Con- gress in the late election in California MT. Page, in his brief Congressional career, has achieved great success. As a stage-driver on the route between Hangtown and shingle Springs, Cal, he won the goodwill of all who were privi leged to ride on the box with him or whose commissions he executed in the mining hamlets through which he drove Concord coach in summer and ''mud- wagon" in winter Urbane when it was profitable, but rough and ready when it was necessary. Page captivated not only the entire population between Shingle and Hangtown, but his fame as fi1er of primaries and forcible orator when 8 convention was to be bull-dozed, spread through all the region roundabout.
 From Skunk's Misery to Murderer's Bar and from Blue Tent to Yuba Dam, he was known as mighty politician. When he was announced as candidate for Congress the bloated aristocrats who wore "boiled shirts and eschewed tobacco winced little. But political merit never goes long unrewarded. The stage driver threw down his lines, one fine day, and walked into Congress and took his seat. Under the present Administration he became prime favorite with the President. He made and unmade Federal officials, controlled star routes, dabbled in naval matters, and managed the River and Harbor bill.

THE LIME.KILN CLUB.
Its Position on Some of the Leading Ques-
 tiOns Of the Day.
From the Detroit Free Press.1

lA 1OAAA t1C OClAO1t 1IGe 1IcSo.l
 Pickles Smith sighed heavily as he arose and introduced the following reso- lution:
 6 ResoIued, Dat we am ibin' too fast, an dat it am de opinyun of dis club dat retrenchment an economy should be- come de standard notices ob de ken- try"
 Waydown Bebee opposed the resolu ton. He had lived all summer on pota- toes, co6tish and bakers bread, ard if that was too fast living he didn't know himself
 Whalebone Howker said he must also oppose it. He had worn the same suit of clothes for four years, and it had been eighteen months since he had seen e mince pic on his table. Any further stretch of economy would leave him without stockings for the winter,
 Samuel Shin didn't want to seem cap- tious, and as rule he always voted in favor of every motion or resolution intro duced, but in this case he must rebel. He was for four months behind in his rent, needed 8 hundred new things in his house, and was forced to make one paper collar last him whole week.
 Several other members spoke in the same vein, and the President placed the resolution on the window-sil with the remark
 eff de kentry can't take care of her. self she must bust If we had de money to fling on good clothes an order quail on toast, I reckon dat all de notices eber hung up wouldn't stop us. De resolution will be laid aside and sold by de pound"
 Elder Penstock arose to remark that he han been asked how the Lime-Kiln Club stood on the question of woman suffrage, and he would now ask for a plain expression of opinion.
 Prof. Darius Gherkins stood up in his corner to say that he had lately received three letters bearing on the subject, and was anxiously awaiting decision.
 Gem'len," ," replied Brother Gardner, " it pears to me dat when de men of dis kentry make failure of de bizness ot runnin' it dar will be an opportunity full de wimen folks to take hold. If God had designed woman for a polytishun he wouldn't have wasted so much time or her har, teeth, eyes, complexion and ginerel outfit Any sort of thing or legs kin vote, an moas' any sort of 2 man kin git offs. When woman be- comes failure as wife, mother anc sister, we'll try an make an elector O. her. When dar am no furder use fu modesty, charity and womanly kindnes: we'll all go in fur high ole pollytica campaign.
 "So fur as poo ole nigger like mt has bin able to obsarve doorin' de las twenty y'ars, de ideah of woman suffrage has bin advocated only by sich pusson as am too silly to keep place among men, an too hom'ly to secure de respec of wimen. Dis club would recommend dat dey soak deir heads in butter-milk O sot up new kingdom in some co'ner o some poo kentry. We will now catosl to our homes."

On the other hand, a girl with brothers, particularly if they are older than herself. will be very likely to pick it up. But when she gets to be young woman she will give 1t up-simply be- cause it is not reoarded as a ladvlike ac- complishment.
