A Great NovcHists@ Pets.

Charles Dickens, the famous novel
list, had three pets, Of which he was
very fond, The happy family con-
sisted Of a jet black raven, an eagle
and little white spaniel.
The eagle lived III q grotto in the
garden. It was necessary that he
should be chained; for, in spite Of
the pleasures Of captivity, he never
ceased to try to escape.
Tho raven was as full Of mischief
as bird could be. Flo roamed
around tho garden and through the
house, and was the terror Of the small
or children.
One of the little daughters Of the
novelist had very chubby legs, which
were bare much OF the time in sum-
mer, and the raven used to run after
and peck at them until poor Tatie's
legs became constant objects Of pity.
The raven took delight in provok
ing tho eagle, which could BIO tanta-
lied at meal time more readily than
at any othor. The raven would
swoop down, bear off the eagles food,
and, taking stand just beyond the
reach Of tho captive bird, would de-
your tho food with gusto. - Golden
Days.

Strange Scenes on the Ganges.

| Benares Letter IN New York Tribune,
Life and death stand hand in hand
on this consecrated ground. Close
by the most crowded CHAT is funeral
pyre, SO near that the bathers might
reach out their hands to warm them
at it's flame. This fire is always
burning, night and day, fresh fuel be-
ing brought hourly from the city,
which never seems to have one less
in the bazaars because of these vacan-
cies in households. When the bodies
are burned out the ashes are thrown
on the Gauges, and the stream run
ming inshore mingles portions Of them
with the bathers. From some of the
CHATS wooden stages arc built our
over the river, thus multiplying the
accommodations for the worshippers.
Here is an old man, his wrinkled face
aglow with devotional feeling, on his
knees at the edge Of the stage, ladle-
ing up the water with his hands and
muttering incessant prayer. Close
by is fine, stalwart young Brahmin
going through tina ritual with a rapid
ease that betokens long practice and
no Discrimination to get through with
it as quickly as possible. Here is
another Brahmin up to his waist in
water working his fists in an energet-
ic fashion, which at a short distance
looks as if he were wanting some one
on the opposite bank to "come on
and have it out" in good old English
fashion. On closer inspection it is
seen that he has piece Of string
around his neck, and that holding it
out first with one hand and then with
the other he is vigorously washing it.
Here is woman whose matronly
figure is boldly outlined under the
cotton drapery that clings to her as
she came up, wholly unlike Venus,
from her third dip; man close By
scoops up the water in the palms Of
his joined hands and pours it out as
if offering libation, thrice repeat
ing the ceremony and crying aloud
his petition to the Preserver.

The Conceit of Cooks.

The most precious sauce, for Young
cook is impudence. Boast away and
never be tired Of it. A modest cook
must be looked on as a contradiction
in nature. If he be quiet and modest,
he will be held as a pitiful cook.
It's related of a famous cook that he
prepared fish so exquisitely that they
returned him admiring and grateful
looks from the frying pan.
1t was doubtless the same cook who
declared that he had discovered the
principle Of Immortality, and that the
odor OF his dishes would recall life into
the nostrils Of the very dead.

THEDEPAIsTED EDITOR.

From the long slender tube with it's ivory

What a leader the old fellow used to turn
out,
w the aid of the Times and pint of
brown stout!
He would write his own Letters from
London-the rogue!
And would pad them with scandal plan
much in vogue;
Like a charger, the battle he'd scent from

By writing "special'' direct from the war.
When matter was short and he wanted a
He would take up his pen and murder

He was good at burglary, smart at ball,
But at writing up "ads'' he'd no rival at
He was meier at loss, with all branches
he'd cope
And could handle the tar brush or WELD the
soft soap;
but now he's departed this valley of woe,
And has gone to the land where good
editors go.
Well, then, peace to his soul! 1t is under
the eye
OF the spirits Great Editor, up in the sky;
Let's hope it will join the cherubical ranks,
And not be ''declined, but accepted with

Astronomer Procter's Ideas on Tight
Lacing.
No one can reasonably hope that
those women who are foolish enough to
compress their waists by tight lacing
q am not here speaking merely of cor
-setsWearing) Wil ever persuaded to
change their waists, if they can help 1t.
A woman of this sort will not give up
tight lacingg until she has given up all
idea OF attracting the attention of men,
and few women of this sort give up
their idea until long after they have
passed the time when it can make the
least difference whether their waists
look large or small. So faEas I can
judge, the only real advantage which
this world is likely to derive from tight
lacing resides in the circumstances that
tight lacing is killing; even when it
fails to kill the woman it tends to kill
her offspring, and as the woman who
laces tightly is of necessity foolish. and
her offspring is likely to inherit her
folly, there is a cause here steadily at
work to remove the more foolish sort,
and SO relatively to increase the wisdom
of the world. There is always a germ
OF comfort even in things evil-they
tend by their very eyilness to cause
their own elimination.

WHEN THE BOATS COME
HOME.

There's light upon the sea to-day
And gladness on the strand;
All! well We know that hearts are gay
When sails draw nigh the land
We followed them with thoughts and tears
Far, far across the foam!
Dear Lord, it seems thousand years
Until the boats come home
We tend the children, live our life,
And toll and mend the nets,
But is there ever maid or wife
Whose faithful heart forgets?
We know what cruel dangers lie
Beneath that shining foam
And watch the changes in the sky
Until the boats come home.
There's glory on the sea to-day.
The sunset gold is bright;
Me thought heard grandshire say,
AT eve it shall be light!'
Ger waves of crystal touched with fire
And flakes of pearly foam
We gaze-and see our hearts desire
The boats are coming home.

Strange Bodies in Timber.

Cornelius Smith has the contract for
saving into lumber large number of
logs cut from trees standing on the
fields of Antietam at the time of the
battle fight. He says that all sorts of
missiles, from cannon balls to buck
shot, are almost daily met with in the
timber, and that it is really dangerous
to stand near the saws in his mill
when such lumber is being cut a, num-
Der ofsaWs having been snapped into
fragments, when running at high
rate of speed by striking iron shot
embedded in the logs.
A large, angular fragment of a
shell was struck by a saw few days
ago, and a perfect shower of sparks
rained about the mill from the contact
OF the metals, the saw being finally snap
ped in several pieces. In another in
stance grape shot was cut through by
q saw, leaving a bright, polished surface
on each hemisphere ofthe missile. Many
leaden bullets, which offer little or no

The First Chinese School in An, erica.

The first Chinese separate school in
America was opened in San Francisco
the other day. The attendance at the
opening was small, consisting only of
Mamie Tape and her little 6-year-old
brother, but in the afternoon four Chi

read well and were sufficiently adj
yaneed to enter the grammar grade: It
is thought that if the Chinese merchants
can get over their repugaance to yacci-

the school. As it is. they patronize the
mission schools, where the vaccination
requirement is not in force. The new
departure in education will be watched
with much interest by the small NUM-
Der who, in the face Of popular preju-
dice, believe thatit is their iuty to train
up the young Chinese in Christian ways
and give them the advantages of a good
educations
