4 Short Talk With the Boys.

The other day hoop on wash tub cracked in two, and I was asked to have the tub sent to the cooper-shop for re- pairs. To do that must pay an ex- press man 25 cents to take it over, the same to return it some day, and 20 cents to the cooper to mend it. That would figure 70 cents, while the tub only cost @ cents when new. The cooper might repair it at once or leave 1t kicking around for week. It would be cheaper to buy new one, but still cheaper to fix the old one myself. How did I do it ? We'll, three or four weeks ago picked up an iron tub hoop in the alley and laid 1t away. It now came in play. I took of piece about two inches long and drilled hole in either end. Then drilled holes in the broken hoop to match. When the holes were ready I brought the end of the hoop together, laid on the splice, and with two soft rivets and the help of a hammer and a small anvil I had hoop as good as new and had made the repairs at cost of not over one cent.
 I use this incident as a preface for urging every father to supply his boys with workshop and few handy tools Room can be found in the house or barn, and little money will put boy in the way of becoming handy man. In my workshop have two hand-saws, a ham, mer, two chisels, small anvil, large and small vice, iack-plane and a smoother, a mitre box, mallet, gimlets, screwdriver, brace and several bits, nail set, trying squares, drills, rule and awls. With these tools you can do almost any job required about the house. There may be one boy out of fifty who doesn't care to "putter" with tools, but the other forty-nine do, and there is more in it than appears at first sight.

An Interesting Win Question.

A curious question under a will was decided by the Surrogate at Jamaica, Long Island. It appears that Gardiner H. Wolcott died at Astoria in November, 1881, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery. He died apparently intestate, and his estate, valued at forty thousand dollars, was duly divided among the heirs. Subsequently a will left by him was found. Its last provision was as foliows:-"It is my special command that my remains lie beside those of my darling Nins's, in Greendale Cemetery. Any expense in carrying out this wish will be paid from my estate"
 Greendale Cemetery is at Meadville, Pa. The ''Nina" referred to was known as Nina Varian, an actress. She was nowhere mentioned in the will as the wife of testator, but there is evideuce tc show that she was his wife.
 This clause of the will was brought before the Surrogate by recent appli cation of an executor for a sufficient al lowance of money to remove the remains of the testator, in compliance with hi last request. The application was op posed by the relatives of the deceased and it was denied by the Surrogate.
 There is no question that the pro visions of the will could hRve boeu cas

On the Beach at Long Branch.


 Few women go into the surf at Long Branch, says local letter writer One dashlng young woman, who is either superior to or unaccustomed to society s newest rules, is a gorgeous spectacle all in herself. She Is a bewitching bru- nette, and goes down to the sands at eleven, or thereabout, covered from head to foot in a mantle of white Turk. ish stuff, relieved by broad, red stripes. She is accompanied by her French maid and little Frenchman, who looks like teacher of department, but really fills the office of "bathing man." She calls him Arsene. He wears knee brooches, tight, short jacket, silk hose, slippers without heels and a silk skull cap, held in place by an elastic band. The color of his whole attire is sombre black. The maid places a camp stool on the sands and shades it with parti-colored porsa- ble awning. Everything being ready, the mistress throws off her mantle, losses it to her maid servant and stands beautiful picture on the golden sands. She is encased in tight red merino from neck to her knees. Her arms and lower limbs are covered with silk, of a glove like tightness. Her short tunic is edged with lace. Her lustrous black hair is unbound and floats out on the wind. Her bathing man at her command lifts her up in his arms and carries her with a stately step into the sea until he is knee deep; then he suddenly plunges her under big breaker. She comes ur with a splutter and the usual feminine shriek. Arsene smiles, and speaks tc her assuringly. He submerges her nc more, but gently floats her over the waves for five or ten minutes and ther carries her out. The ready maid throws the capacious Turkish robe ovel the wet form and Arsene once more takes up his charge and hurries witt her into her own apartments in the ho
 tel. The maid follows, and assists hel to make the toilet with which she vii

was the public house, casting a trl- angular gleam across the road long way of, and the other was the black smiths house. Here was piece of for tune for the terrified women. They burst into their friends house. ooh, Jane the thieves are come P and they told her in few words all that had hap pened.
 ''La p said she; Chow timorous you are ten to one he was only growing at same one that passed by"
 "Nay, Jane, we heard the scraping outside the window. Oh, woman, call your man and let him go with us"
 "My men-he is not here.
 "Where is he, then?"
 "I suppose he is where other working womens husbands are, at the public house." said she, rather bitterly, for she had her own experience.
 The old women wanted to go to the public house for him; but the black smiths wife was 8 courageous woman, and beside, she thought it was most likely false alarm.
 May, nay" said she. ''last time l went for him there I got fine affront. I'll come with you" she said. "I'll take the poker, and we have got our tongues to raise the town with, suppose"
 So they marched to the toll-bar. When they got near it they saw some thing that staggered this heroine. There was actually man half in and half out of the window. This brought the blacksmith's wife to standstill, and the timid pair implored her to go back to village.
 "Nay," said she. "What for? I see but one--and hark it is my belief the dog is holding of him."
 However, she thought it safest to be on the same side with the dog, lest the man might turn on her. So she made her way into the kitchen, followed by the other two, and there sight met her eyes that changed all their feelings, both toward the robber and toward each other. The great mastif1 had pinned a man by the throat, and was pulling at him to draw him through the window, with fierce but muffied snarls. The mans weight alone prevented it. The window was like a picture frame, and in that frame there glared, with lolling tongue and staring eyes, the white face of the blacksmith, their courageous friends villainous husband. She uttered an appalling scream, and flew upon the dog end choked him with her two hands. He held and growled, and tore till he was all but throttled himself; then he let go, and the man fell. But what struck the ground outside like lump of lead was in truth lump of clay The man was quite dead and fearfully torn about the throat.
 So did comedy end in an appalling and most piteous tragedy; not that the scoundrel himself deserved any pity, but his poor, brave, honest wife, to whom he had not dared confde the viii lainy he meditated.

The end had come. A human heart, troubled and bruised and scared by waiting in vain-by hoping, to be ever disappointed-was about to be stilled. For a moment the storm lulled, just as man draws long breath before dash ing into some great peril. As it screamed and roared again in it's ven geance, Faith lifted her thin hand and whispered:
 "He is coming back to me! shall see him again and hear his voice once more"
 The nurse moved nearer and whis- pered kind words, but Faith waived her aside and cried out:
 "Do not come between us hear his footsteps-he is here I loved him, and my reward has come at last Let me clasp his hand-let me look into his eyes r
 And again the storm lulled, until the gale died into sobs and whispers, and the roar of the surf sounded miles away. Before the fury gathered itself for a fresh attack, two spirits passed out of the old house hand in hand and were afar on the path to Heaven. She had listened, and his footballs had echoed in her ears. She had watched, and her glazed eyes had at last been gladdened. She had waited, and he had come to be with her through the perils of the dark valley.
