will not be down to-day.
4. Avoid any jest which requires you
to say that baby is now old enough 10
chews for himself
D. Make an entry in your diary to
the effect that a tooth is born unto you.
6. Do not temper your Joy with such
pessimistic thoughts as dentists bills
inspire.
z. Swear off letting the little one
chew your watch unless you like your
hunting case to have dents in it.
8. Do not ask tho child mother if
she doesn't think it strange that the
other teeth dom t appear.
8, Ii you are poor man don't buy
the youngster silver backed tooth
brush on the strength OF the first molar.
10. Donot tell an experienced father
that you think it is wisdom tooth
He will know better, and will prob
ably go home and tell his wife what an
unsophisticated COW you are
IL. DO not insist upon feeding the
boy on beefsteak right away.
II. BE not imagine that that is the
only tooth in the world, and eschew
undue personal vanity because of the
new conner. You didn't grew the
TOOTH Leave conceit to the baby.
IS. Remember that there are more
teeth to come, and do not lavish too
much enthusiasm on the first.
IA. Make the youngster stop biting

THE OLD CANOE.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore i
steep,
nd the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and PUSHES are long and lani
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole daS
through.
There lies at its moorins the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped,
Like a sea birds wings that the storm has
Topped,
md crossed on the railing, one DER one.
Like the folded hands when the work is done,
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn Swl with the dull 'too-whoe,' -
Settles down on the side of the old canoe,
The stern half sunk in the glimy wave,
ROts slowly away on its living grave,
And the green moss Creeps DER its dull decay,
Hiding its Wondering days away.
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb q
flower,
Or the ivy that NANTES the falling tower;
While many a blossom of lOvelieSt hue
Springs up DER the stern OF the old canoe.
The currentlcss waters are dead and still,
The twilight wind plays with the boat at Will,
And lazily IN and out again
1t floats the length Of the rusty chain.
Like the weary march Of the hands OF time,
That meet and part with the mountain chime,
And the shore S kissed at each turning anew,
BY the drIppling bough of the old canoe.

HE OBEYED ORDERS.
An Amusing Anecdote OF the Late French
Admiral JnurerMibcrrY.

Admiral Jaureguibcrry.
Eice-Admiral Jn~ureguiberry. who
died recently, was repdted to be the
most courteous naval officer in Euro.
pean waters. While in command oil
the Mediterranean squadron he be-
came famous for his courtly treatment
Of women. Whenever his flagship. the
Richelieu, came to anchor off a large
town on the southern French or east
Italian coast, half Of the titled women
in the neighborhood usually went on
board to let the Nice-Admiral say nice
things to them and show them what a
flagship was like. Some time ago,
while the Richelieu was at anchor near
Nice, the Vice.Admiral's popularity
among Italian women reached its eli
max. Almost daily two or three par
ties of social bellies visited the flag
ship. From three O'Clock till six
every afternoon the Nice-Admiral was
busy serving coffee, kissing hands and
showing off his flagship to the four
hundred OF Nice.
After this sort of thing had been in
progress several weeks, the Minister
of the Navy turned up in Nice for his
summer vacation. He disapproved OF
the Nice-Admiral's almost exclusive
devotion to the pretty women of the
city. He told the Vice-Admiral so
several times in diplomatic language,
but the Vice-Admiral was too polite
to pass along to his fair admirers
the Minister'S hints that they
were playing ducks and brakes
with the discipline of the Mediter-
ranean squadron. The afternoon re.
captions on the Richelieu continued
with undated popularity. The Minis
ter of the Navy became very impatient.
Eventually he determined to cure the
women Of their fondness for visiting the
Vice Admiral. as he could not cure
him Of his fondness for receiving them.

miral was unexpectedly ordered by
marine signals, made from the shore
at the Minister'S instance, to weigh
anchor at once and without any pre-
vious communication with the city to
proceed to Murseilles. The Countess
and her friends we're in despair. They
begged to be sent ashore. With all
his gallantry, however. the Vice-Ad-
miral was n thoroughbred sailor. He
did not dare disobey his explicit Or
ders. The Richelieu sailed almost i'm
mcdiately for Marseilles with the coffee
party intact. Two days later the three
Italian women returned to Nice by rail
from the French seaport. Every one
was gossiping about their temporary
elopement with the Vice-Admiral. The
notoriety OF their adventure accom-
plished the Minister'S purpose. AL
though the Vice-Admiral remained the
most courteous and courtly OF naval
officers up to the day Of his death,
comparatively few women who had
heard OF the predicament of the Count
ess and her two friends dared to visit
his flagship 10 learn how nice he was.
