of flowers which grow ON carpets but no

have seen blossoms woven into ingram
carpets, varying in color from a dead
black to the color OF n hepatizedlung. but
have never seen one that reminded me
Of anything ! ever saw in nature.
The chair | sat in also had springs in it.
They were made of selections from the
Washington Monument.
The barber who waited on me asked me
il wanted a shave. y great many bar
bers ask me this during the year. some
times they do it from habit and some
times they do it to brighten up my life
and bring a smile to my waucheck. AsI
have no hair, the thinking mind naturally
and by Il direct course Of reasoning ar
rives mt the conclusion that when ! go
into a barber shop and climb into a chair,
DO so for the purpose OF getting shaved
and not with the idea of having my for
tune told or my deposition taken. still
BARRIERS continue TO ask me this question
II look at each other with ill-concealed
mirth.
said yes | would like a shave unless he
preferred TO take my temperature. or
amuse me by making a death mask Of
himself. He then began to strap a large
razor with a doUhle-shuile movement
n to size me up nj the same time.
He was a colored man. but he had lived
in Washington a long time and knew a
great deal more than he would if his lot
had fallen elsewhere. lie spoke with some
feeling and fed me with about the most
unpalatable latler | think | ever p~artici-
pated in.
He also did an odd thing when he went
for the second time over my face. Inevcr
have noticed the custom outside of that
shop. Most BARRIERS, in making the sec
ond trip over a customers face, moisten
one side at "A time with a sponge or the
damp hand as they 60 along, but in this
case "A large quantity of lather was put in
my ear, and as he needed it, he took out
what he required from time to time, using
his finger like a paint brush and spreading
ON the lather as he went along.
So accurately has he learned to measure
the quantity of lather an ear will hold
that when he got through with me and !
went away there WAS not over n table
spoonful in either ear aud possibly no;
that much.-Ncw York World.

Nowadays an ingenious woman can
manufacture an endless array of useful

Wooden boxes covered with bright

art and science in their widest sense
cover nearly the whole field Of mans in
tellectual action. They are the outward
and visible expression of two distinct and
supplementary portions of our complex
human nature-distinct, but not opposed,
the one working by the daylight of the
intellect, the other in the warm glow OF
the emotions: the one ever seeking to in
terpret and express the beauty of the uni
verse, the other ever searching for its
ruth.
In this respect art and science are iden-
tieal-that to reach their highest outcome
aud achievement they must pass beyond
knowledge and culture, which are under
stood by all, to inspiration and creative
power, which pass the understanding even
Of him who possesses them in the highest
degree.-professor Tyndall.

He sealed it and lai it where it would

the night.

sentry, who saluted and let him pass.
Half an hour after the sentry saw him
pass out, well mutIled in his cloak. lie
was seen afterward by several other sen
tries, who wondered why u man who
might sleep did not.
1t was dawn. AT sunrise they had
brought the spy out to be shot-a large
muscular man with black hair. a band
age was about his eyes and his hands
were bound behind him. He kept his
head down, striving, it seemed, to hid
his face.

to another. HE looked like Il sneak, l
thought. Who is he like?'

Meanwhile the men who were to put an
end to the spy's life formed into line. The
chaplain read the prayer for the occasion.
The order was given;

For a moment the air was filled with

. HE M ONITOR.
YARNS IN NATURAL HISTORY.


A Leading Writer Pulls Some of Them
to Pieces-The Wonderful shark.
James Payn, the novelist, writes: Il am
always a little suspicious Of the excellent
people who tell me natural history
stories They are like travellers tales
and we know what they are.
"How we all used to believe in the dog
that Landseer painted and called mem
Der of the Royal Humane Society," Every
body now know that that dog with the
best intentions in the world-used to
drown people with his atTectionate paws
instead of saving them.
lis there anybody who has not met the
man who knew the man that owned the
dog who travelled in a basket from Lon
don to Aberdeen by railway, and came
home-coyered with mud, and in very bad
condition, but still came home-by road
in a week? But does anybody know the
dog?
1.-The last aneedote of instinct appears
in the Nineteenth Century for this
month-related, one is glad to see, by a
gentleman, 'on whose testimony reliance
may be placed'-about a shark.
The shark is a creature who has been
hitherto much neglected as II hero. He is
generally the Bad Character of natural
history stories, and it is quite refreshing
to read q narrative to his advantage.
Even now we have still to hear of his do
mestic affections, his gratitude, or even of
his dormant sense of hnmour. When he
turns so playfully over on his back it has
hitherto been supposed to be for the
greater convenience of swallowing the
British seaman. Let us hope that, like so
many of us, he has been misunderstood;
and, in the meantime, let us be thankful
to believe in his indomitable persever-
ance.
'"Fhe men let go II shark-hook, and soon
captured a large shark. They cut the I'M
happy creature open, extracted the liver
(Which contains a considerable quantity
of OLD, and flung the carcase overheard.
In n few minutes there was another tug
at the hook, and, to the no small surprise
of the fishermen, they brought up the
very shark they had just thrown away rs
dead.
doubt has been expressed about this
tale. Anecdotes of the marvellous pow
ers of the dog, and for all l know, of the
dogfish, are swallowed, so to speak, hook
and all; but this trait of the poor shark is
received with incredulity. This is not
