she is 76, but as youthful as 80 in looks
and actions. Her eyes are blue and keen.
her ears are beginning to be treacherous.
but she is not too sensitive to pretend
that she hears when such is not the case.

blowing Up a shark.

The following curious story, contained
in letter from a young sailor who
formerly lived in Ashford, has been re-
ceived there: I'VE were lying off Natal
the other day when most exciting &C.
currence happened We saw two or
three monster sharks playing round the
ship for some time-the largest of them
measuring about fourteen feet long-so
we baited a line with small piece of
pork and dropped it out to him. He
calmly swallowed the bait, hook and all,
and cut the line with his teeth taking
no further notice of, it. We then had
recourse to strategy. The breast of a
buck, which had been hanging up some
time and was rather high, was weighted
in order to sink it, and hand charge of
guncotton inserted therein, the whole
connected by wire with boats battery.
No sooner had the venison reached the
water than the shark made straight for
it; but, just as he opened his mouth to
swallow the bait, the charge was ex-
ploded, his jaws being completely shat
tered. The monster turned on its back
and sank in the bay" London Globe

Ugly Residences in the Suburbs.

In some of the suburban towns sur
rounding Chicago there are entire streets
closely built up with houses on both
sides, which are as much like one an
other as twins. In shape, size and gem
eral contour they are similar and, al
though the builder has put in some mi
nor feature of variation, perhaps to as
sist the occupant to distinguish his home
from the rest, the effect is painfully
stiff, conventional and monotonous. The
lots are all of exactly the same size, as
if the man who wanted few feet more
or less of ground had no right to have
his wish gratified, and the houses are
built on the same headline" of eleva-
ton above the street, and precisely the
same number of feet and inches from
the sidewalk. ALI that is wanting to
make the scene as conventional as a
Chinese picture on a tea box, is that
every owner should set out the same
number, size and kind of trees in front,
and precisely the same shrubbery in his
yard as those of his neighbors. Fortu-
nately the inhabitants are not so bereft
of all sense of the picturesque as is the
town builder, and touch of variety is
given in climbing vines, blooming flow
ers and variously arranged shrubbery.
1t would cost no more, or at most only
trifie more, to introduce pleasing va
riety in the architecture of the houses,
so that each should be as distinct and
different from its neighbor as the people
are unlike who live in Them Chicago is
full of architects who have imagination
and taste, and it is not their fault that
the present condition exists. 1t is the
fault of the village uildeis.-Chicagc

but who looked at least three times as

under his high, old-faShoned silk hat.
1t was not the Bismarck whose face
you have studied in chromoS and in pho
tographs all over the land. With no
l'rusSian cap or uniform to lend tierceness
to it, it was the firm but kind face of an
old man smiling gently upon the crowd
of upturned faces, and lifting his old
rumpled hat as carefully to each one that
Saluted him as though his entire success
in life depended upon the impression
which he should make on that occasion.
His mouStache, not as fierce or long a. it
was when the pictures which we see of
him were taken, is as white as snow. and
droops down over mouth of wonderful
firmness and strength.

bushy eyebrows, and below are the deep

behind his imperial masters chair. But
the eyes become kind and smiling when
they rest upon the awe-stricken counte-
nances of the men who uncover them
selves along his path. His face shows a
gentle interest in these molecules of the
nation, mild wonder as to how men
pass their time who have no European
housekeeping To attend to, and what they
can possibly find to do when he is not
using them to carry out his plans by
making them kill one another.

A Sunshiny Soul.

There are some people who are always
bubbling over with humor. in season
and out of season; everything is turned
by their Midas touch to sparkling mer-
riment What unconscious physicians
these people are! 1t doeth one good
like medicine to hear their voices and
to see their faces, always running over
with laughter like mountain spring.
The healthiest and longest-lived persons
almost always have twig of humor in
their makeup. There is something
wonderfully preservative in laughter.
A man who cannot laugh is like a tree
from which the worms or the winds
have stripped all the leaves. 1t soon
grows feeble and sapless, and dies be-
fore its time. The healthy tree laughs
with its myriads of leaves for genera
ton after generation, sound at heart
and beautiful to look upon; and when
it dies the woodman cuts it down and
finds the allotted number of rings in
the firm, white wood and core as sound
and sweet as the sapling's. So it is
with the man whose disposition is one
of sunshine and laughter He lives
merrily and dies cheerily, and the
world is better for him. His memory
does not pass away like that of the sour
grum misanthropist There may be
grander things about a man than his
hnmor. but there is nothing by which
he will be remembered SO long. After
his wisdom and his learning are forgot
ten, if he ever laughed. that laugh will
be his memorial. 1t will go ringing or
when every other utterance has dice

fulness at any time, while the latter may
depart-take unto itself wings and fly

the most practicable education for those
who are to be farmers would be col
legiate agricultural course, but as so
few out of the hundreds of thousands of
the sons and daughters ON the farm will
have the opportunity of attending the
right kind of agricultural colleges, we
shall apply the question to the common
schools of the rural districts, where a
vast majority will end their educational
opportunities.
Should not agriculture be taught in
these schools, SO that boys and girls who
are to be farmers in the near future may
in early school days learn something
practical and of value? Teach them the
use, care and diseases of the domestic
animals; the nature and condition OF
soil; the various modes of culture, hab
its of insects; in other words, should we
not introduce into those schools the ele
mentary principles of scientific agricul
ture, which would be a more practical
education without any additional cost
Teach agriculture, political economy
