| well cooked, and asked Sam MS Opln-
ion about several kinds of vegetables.
He looked suspiciously at me for few
minutes, then he sat down on the ice
and pulled off his skates, saying: 81
am for dinner. Let's go home. We
will come back again this afternoon. "
So we walked home, about mile,
and as the brlght-eyed child walked by
my side he looked into the pail
in which 1 carried the fish and
said, as he poked with index finger the
particular pickerel to which he de-
sired to call my attention: THAT
one," Indicating three-pounder, ''is
for Ted, and that one," touching a
smaller fish, sis for his wife and Will
and Teter and Jack, and the girls can
eat the smaller fish. Mighty nice lot
of fish, Ell? And good fish, too, though

among the nutshells and hung long
over coffee cup, and l talked and
talked. Articles were vain. 1 was
forced to accompany him to Kelly's
pond again and was put to gathering
fish. When the sun was sinking
toward the horizon we walked home,
and l was gay because / thought my
| days work was done. Arrived at the
wagon, and we drove off to deliver the
fish to Ted, who was very much
pleased to get them.
After supper l filled clay pipe and
lighted it with glowing coal, and sat
In wide, deep chair to enjoy myself
and to review my childhood, to see if
boys had actually changed as had
been assured they had. While l
smoked and smiled over scenes of the
past that l conjured up, Samuel disap-
peared. He returned in a few mo-
ments. His face glOwed with antici-
patory pleasure.
He said, in his boyish way: ''The
church people are going to give free
blowout. Get your hat and come
along We will corral some of the ice
cream and cake"
Sam" said after gazing at him
reproachfully for an instant Il be-

me away from the fire.
So the child went to the festival
alone. He returned at nine o'clock,
and got onto my knee and leaned his
head against my breast, preparatory
to q cat-nap. | encircled him with my
left arm, and he sleepily said; Il had
three plates of ice-cream and some
cake; and don't you think that my

in dreamland, where pickerel and tom
cats and dogs and game-cocks abound.
As held the sleeping child 1 real
lied that the change which old people
insist has taken place in the nature of
children has really occurred in the
aged. The boys are the brave, de-
lightful comrades that they were in
the long ago. They will never change.

FRENCH FISHER-FOLK.
The Life, Manners and Customs of a Pc
culiar People.

The Life, Manners and Customs of a Pc
culiar People.
Every one knows how picturesque
are fishing towns in art The life and
manners of the people living in these
towns is not less quaint and interesting
than their homes. The scenes described
by tourist in France give clear idea
of the sort of life the fisher-folk of that
country lead.
The industry carried on by the coast
people on the French foreshores is quite
a sight. Even the little children con-
trive to make money by building fish
ponds, or forming trenches in which to
gather salt, or in some other small in
dustry incidental to saa-shore life.
One occasionally encounters some
abject being cropping about the rocks
to obtain the wherewithal to sustain
life. To these people all is fish that
comes to hand-no creature, however
Shiny, that creeps about is allowed to
escape, so long as it can be disguised
by cookery into any kind of food
for human creatures. Some of the
people have old rickety boats patched
up with still older pieces of wood or
leather; sails mended here and there
till it is difficult to know the original
portion from those that have been add
ed to it; nets torn and darned till they
are scarce able to hold fish; and yet,
that boat and that crippled machinery
are the capital stock of perhaps two or
three generations of family, the con-
cern having probably been founded
half a century ago by the grandfather,
who now sees around him a series of
hungry generations that it would take
fleet of boats to keep in food and
raiment.
The moment the tide runs back, the
seashore is at once overrun with
legion of hungry people, who are
eager to clutch at whatever fshy frag-
ments the receding water may have
left; the shallow pools are eagerly,
hungrily examined, and their contents
grabbed with an anxiety that belongs
only to poverty.
At some place on the coast. how
ever, a happier era is dawning on the
people-the adoption of fishculture has
led to traffic in oysters that is sur
prising-indeed, new life has dawned
on some districts; and where at one
time was poverty and squalor, there is
now wealth and prosperity. Youths

THE HOMELY DOLL.

Ihave dozen dolls or more,
In handsome dresses dressed,
With faces fair, and flaxen hair
That sparkle like crest;
The oldest is the ugliest,
And her love the BEST
The sawdust trickles from her sides,
One arms entirely gone;
Sheused to have two pretty feet,
But now she has but one;
Her eyes have lost the cunning look,
Her cheeks are thin and wan.
There's no more hair upon her heal,
Her nose is all awry;
Her mouth, it has droop like mine
When I'm about to cry;
She s so ugly that most folks say
Oh, what doll! o my!"
Ilove her most because she came
When 1 was very small
Too small, my mamma sometimes said,
TO have doll at all.
loved her then-I love her now
Although 1 m twice as tall.

THoUGHTLEss WORDS.

One day in humor pleasant,
AS enjoyed my smoke,
My wife then being present,
Thus thoughtlessly spoke:
"My mother was a beauty,
And you're beauty, too;
My mother did her duty,
And so, my dear, do yo''
''Tho' she was good at cooking,
Yet you can better cook;
II for perfection looking,
No further would look.
''My mothers pies were tasteful,
With light and flaky crust;
In marketing not wasteful;
She well deserved all trust.
SIN all things, Pet, my mott
must, forsooth, ever,
Exceled all but one other
'Tis you who equal her."
spoke my appreciation,
In no way did chide,
A thoughtleSs declaration,
For of the shock she died!

"A story of a temperance medal
reaches us from Queensland of curious
and sinister suggestiveness, says the
Manchester England Examiner. The
medal was found in the interior of
crocodile, and the crocodile itself was
caught in the Daintree river, Queens
land. The medal bears the name of
A. ID. Edwards, is of the sort issued by
the temperance societies established
by Rev. Father Mathew, and bears the
date of 1880. Local inquiries do not
seem to show that any person of that
name is missing in the neighborhood,
and we still cling to the hope that the
crocodile became possessed of the
medal in a more innocent way than by
swallowing the owner.
