Whi,ewashed Savages.

A missionary stationed at one of the
South Sea Islands determined to give his
residence coat of whtiewash. To obtain
this, in the absence of lime coral, was re-
duced to powder by burning. The ma
tiyes watched the process of burning with
interest, believing that the coral was be-
ing cooked for them TO eat. Next morn
ing they beheld the missionary's cottage
glittering In the rising sun, white as snow.
1T was 30 beautiful In their eyes that they
danced, they sang they screamed with joy.
The whole island was In q commotion.
Whitewash became the rage, and happy
was the coquette who could enchacce her
charms by daub of the whitew ash brush.
Then contentious arose; one party urged
their superior rank; another obtained
possession of the brush and vail intly held
1t against all corners; third tried to up.

Ashore they got her quickly, and
into the boatLouse, where lite stimu-
liant soon brought her around.
"What on earth" Briggs said in
and couldn't 60 any fur
ther.
Don't tell them yet" Fan pleaded.
"Can't you get me home without any
body's seeing me?
Briggs managed to get her clothes
somehow.
There was a crowd outside Of the
boathouse hurrahing for Littell and
waiting for him to come out; but when
Fan appeared, got into carriage and
drove away nobody dreamed that the
victor had departed.
But it all came out in the papers
next day, and there was a "pret:y how
dye do"
Didn't tell you our Fan could
row." was Dicky's salute when Ned
came to pay his compliments to the
champion oarsman. Come in and
tsee the cup"
'I've sent it down 10 the boathouse,"
said Fan herself. "How do you do,
Mr.. Gray?"
She held out her hand with a de-
mure smile which Ned answered with
a keen, inquiring look.
1--WE used 10 be good friends, Miss
Fam" he said, holding the hand she
gave him. II hope we shall not be SO
because we are rivals?"
81 am sure l have no grudge against
you," she said, showing her dimples.
You have seemed to have lately"
"Well, II may have had, but you
have behaved so we'll about the cup
that I've quite gotten over it. Be
isides," she said earnestly, 81 believe l
lowe my life to yo1."
81 think you said the cup was on ex-
hibton at the boat house, Ned said
hastily. "Won't you take me down
to see it2"
Fan assented, and they went with
out Dicky, much to his distress, but
,they really didn't want him.
81 think ought to tell you, Ned"
Fan said, using the old name which
lcame again easily. Il have misjudged
you very much. thought you had
grown up prig. Ever since you
came back from the university and
won the races, | thought you were
awfully conceited.
!, "Well, | was" said Ned honestly,
"but YOU toox that all out of me yes
,terday."
1T wouldn't have come out so
easily if 1t had been fast-rooted," said
Fan, warmly. at is harder to bear q
defeat than to win a victory, and l
want to say, Ned, that you behaved
beautifully"
s'I'd rather hear you say that than
lany one in the worldr' he said, looking
at her so that Fans eyes fell. Fan.
dear. / am just as fond of you as ever
Twas, only you have been so cool to
me that l thought you didn't care fol
me any more -"
:. "Well, I'll treat you better after
this" she promised.
But will you treat me as well as ]
wish? Fan, dear, will you marry mel
! You know you said you would once"

she answered, and so Ned won the cuI

4 PECULIAR JUDGMENT.

There is a story related of judgment
given by Pedro the Cruel of Spain imbued
with very much the same spirit as the one
delivered in the court at Venice. A slater
was engaged in repairing the roof of a
house, and while so engaged through some
false step or some other accident lost his
balance and rolled down the slanting sides
Of the roof and fell over the edge into the
street below. Just at this momentum
fortunate for himself, though fortunate for
the slater-a man was passing along the
street Just in front of the house whose roof
was being repaired. Upon him the slater
fell, knocking him to the ground with such
force that he eventually died Of the injuries
he received; while the slater does not seem
to have been much the worse for his fall,
being saved from any violent concussion
with the hard pavement by the imposition
of the body of the unfortunate wayfarer.
The dead mans son brought an action
against the slater, asking that he might re-
ceive punishment for killing his father, and
be made to pay to him, the son, damages
to compensate him for his loss. The king,
before whom the matter was laid, inquired
into it, and satisfied himself that the slater
was in no way to he blamed, his fall and
its consequences being purely accidental.
In delivering his judgment he said that it
was natural that the son should desire some
satisfaction for the death of his father at the
hands of the man who had killed him, and
that this he was ready to order him. The
slater must 60 and stand exactly in the
position where the deceased man stood at
the time of the accident; and the son might
mount to the roof Of the house and throw
himself thence on the slater, and so mete
out to him the same treatment as had been
meted out to the plaintiffs father. The
son, however, like Shylock, declined to run
the risks incidental to carrying out the
Judgment.
