The Tragedy of a Wronged Father.

On an island far to the north, in q
little Indian village that showed no
sign of the presence of whites, found
an old gray-haired man who in all re-
spects, save that his skin was not so
dark as were the faces around him,
seemed an Indian. The old man told
me that he was the son of white man
who lived on the island and became
very rich by cheating the Indians out
of their furs. He traded in SKINS"
said the old man with savage twinkle
in his eyes, ''but he skinned the Injins!"
His fathers name was John Raster,
and his mother was the young daughter
of an Ojibway chief. Her father knew
nothing of his daughters shame until
her child was born, when he dragged
her in the presence of her betrayer,
stabbed her, and as she lay dying,
throttled the father of her child and
cast him, as he supposed dead, into the
pool of blood at her side. Then he
took the child and with his family left
the island forever. "My blood relations
live in riches in city far away, but the
dying curse of the neartbroken chief
will yet overtake them and they shall
suffer for the sins of their father. y

the victim of a mother-in-law? Yes.
dear, of rich mother-in-law, who sup
ports him. That is what makes him so
tired and ricketty? Partly, my prec-
ious. And the other cause? Well, he
has been to dinner at the club. But
why does he go home in that condition.?
Because all the other places are closed.
Gracious! what will his motEer-in-law
do? She will help him upstairs and as
sist in removing his boots. Then the
poor son-in-law will not be clubbed
with II soup-ladle, lectured for two
hours, and scalded half to death with
boiling tea? Oh, no. But if he is so
dissipated why does the poor mother
in-law put up with himP Because he
gives her daughter position. How
'.position?" Well, before marriage the
mother-in-law was very rich, but was
not ..known" in society. WellP Now
she is not quite so rich, but she is
known Through the son-in-law?
Exactly. But the poor wife--hel
daughter? 1t is the same with her.
Are they satisfied? Quite so. But is
getting into society 80 desirable that a
girl will marry such man TO accom-
plish it? Yes, my precious. My! But
how for the poor girls who cannot mar
ry such men? They are unfortunate.
Have they no consolation? A meagrt
one. An that? They can die and gt
to heaven.

Thu Tn, rs,t Of a Good Watch.

In order TO find out what a watch Is
doing. il should be closely compared
eyery day with standard chronometer.
and its rate of variation noted. The
finest watch is not necessarily the one
which shows the smallest variation from
standard time At the end Of some
lengthy period. such as q month. or
three months, or six months; ii israther
the timekeeper which shows slow,
but regular variation. Regularity is
the test, and very few watches will
stand it. when rigidly applied from day
to day. 1t is possible, you see, there
fore, for n mans watch, set exactly on
January /. to be only thirty seconds
out of the way on July /. and yet it has
been alternately forty-five seconds fast
and the same amount slow two or three
times in the interval. Such a watch,
of course, is not to be 'sneezed at but
its running cannot be called Zine,
hence it is irregular. The most valu-
able watch is one which regularly gains
or loses just so many seconds per day
let US say, for example, five or six sec
onds per week, steadily and surely. -

In 1876, the battle which Talcott was

cided by the promptness of the women,
who loaded with small shot and nails Il

these discharged it, to the dismay and

they fired an alarm, loosened their hair

so briskly that the savages fled. In
