And so 1t was arranged
The girls made an extra toilet next
morning, to meet 1.-The ghost" as they
called him, at the breakfast table.
But to their infinite disgust, he was
gone when they descended.

Barbara; ''and 1 thought, perhaps, he

"Young Mr.. Archer?"
"There he is now'' said the cashier.
And the next minute the hero of the
rainy night had come up, and was
cordially shaking hands with them.
''Then you are not the tailor's Dung

aback.
"Did I say I was?" said Archibald
Archer.
At the end of the autumn little Barbara
Hale had confession to make.
"Girls,' said she, ''when l thought
that young Mr.. Archer was going to be

A Polish Fathers Curse.

There lived at Shamokin, Penn, some
time ago a Pole named Limbski, who
by the industry of himself and his FIVE
sons accumulated considerable property.
Recently an appeal to the sons for
money to pay a debt caused a serious
dispute between father and sons. The
old man sold the property and prepared
to sail, accompanied by his wife, says
the Bethlehem penn s ar, to the home
of his childhood. Before leaving he
expressed wish that the boys might all
be killed in the mines A few days
ago, Thomas, his youngest son, was
killed at Cameron colIiery. and at the
instance of the other brothers the
crushed body was photographed as it
lay on the cooling board, and the picture

A Crabs Antipathy to Dirt.

Habits of thorough cleanliness are not
only required by good taste and good
breeding, but are essential to health.
Those enemies to life and health called
germs" are always found in conpec-
ton with dirt. Most animals instinct
lively avoid uncleanliness. The bird
takes its morning dip in the lake or
stream; the elephant treats himself to
shower bath as often as he likes; dogs
love to battle and swim in the water, as
do many other animals. Even so hum
BILE a creature as the crab which does
not receive credit for much intelligence,
has a great antipathy to dirt. These
curious creatures have a singular habit
of tearing Off their legs on sundry occa-
sions. For instance. if crab gets badly
scared at thunder storm or a loud
noise in the water, it straightway tears
Of a leg or two. A crab often loses one
or more legs in combat with other crabs.
A still more curious thing is, that when a
crabs legs are lost in this way, they
grow on again in few weeks time, or,
rather, new ones grow out in place of
the old ones. Perhaps this is why the
crab values a leg so little; he can get q
new one just as good as the old one by
simply waiting for it to grow.
But we said that crabs are extraordi-
nariry neat in their habits. These Great
ures have such dislike for dirt that if,
by chance, one of them happens to get
one of his legs soiled in any way, he i'm
mediatelv pulls it off. A missionary in
the Samoan Islands tells story of
crab that was going out one morning in
search of food, when it accidentally
soiled one of its legs. 1t Immediately
wrenched off the leg, and hobbled back
to its hole, to rema in solitary confne-
ment until it should grow again. 1t is
claimed that crabs have been known to
pull off all their legs in the same man
ner, and then laboriously drag them
selves home by their nippers to wait for
new legs to grow.--Farm, Field and

Strange tapestry, by nature spun

Strange tapestry, by nature spun
On viewless looms, aloof from sun,
And spread through lonely hooks and grots
Where shadows reign, and leafy rest
Oh, moss, of all your dwelling spots,
In which one are you loveliesta
is it when near grim roots that coil
Their snaky black through humid soil!
Or when you wrap in woodland gloom,
The great prone pine trunks rotted redi
Or when you dim, on sombre tombs,
The ''requiescats" of the dead!
e Or is it when your lot is cast
In some quaint garden Of the past
On some gray, crumbled basins brim,
With conches that widowed tritons blow
While yonder, through the poplars prim
Looms up the turreted chateau.
Nay, loveliest are you when time weaves
Your emerald films on low, dark leaves,
Above where pink porch roses peer.
And woodbines break in fragrant foam,
And children laugh-and you can hear
Ire beatings of the heart of home

to furnish further funds, we now think we
are justified in accepting the many willing
offers of aid that have been received from
you.
1--WE therefore wish our felow-citizens of the
United States to know that we will CRATE
fully receive the aid they have offered.

for the benefit of those in need and
where they will do the most good We
request that any such contributions may be
forwarded to James NJ. Schumacher, Pres
iient of the First National Bank and Chair
man of the Finance Committee"
A Jacksonville dispatch of the 9th says
that 1.-The cry for help has gone forth none
too soon. Up to about five days ago
the number of cases reported was
comparatively small every day, and to all
the doctors were able to give prompt at
tention and nurses were available Now
reports of thirty, forty and fifty.
