STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Incidents from Which the Superstition
Can Draw a Mnrnl.

Incidents from Which the Superstitious
Can Draw a Moral.
Most expressive condolences have some
times occurred in the words of actors in
their last appearance on the stage, says the
New York Epoch. An English actor named
Cummins, some twenty years ago, appeared
in play in which it fell to him to deliver
these lines:
Be witness for me, ye celestial hosts;
Such mercy and such pardon as my soul
Accords TO thee and begs of heaven to show
thee
May such befali me at my last hour"
The last words had scarcely dropped from
his lips when he fell dead on the stage.
The following instances may be regarded
by the superstitious as a sufficient warniu o
against all Jests of such a grim subject as
death. 1t is related by Mr. Bolton, an En-
glish actor and author, that the famous
tenor, Sims Reeves, was once playing the
Squire in the pantomime of ''Old Mother
Goose" and at the very moment when he
was walking off the stage, singing:
:" My wife's at rest-there let her lie,
She's at rest, and so am l.
a man tapped him hurriedly on the shout
der and whispered: "You must come home
directly; Mrs. Reeves is dead" Greatly
shocked, Mr. Reeves hurried home and
found it only too true.
The other instance of which refer re-
lates to the death of j. W. Coudry, mind
reader, who, short time ago, while lectur-
ing at New Haven, Conn, took occasion to
boast OF his entire freedom from fear, at
the same time speaking of death in some
what flippant and jesting manner. Very
singularly, before the conclusion of his per-
Torrance, he was stricken with apoplexy,
bis death occurring only two days later

on the training of children. A gentleman
who IS regarded as somewhat eccentric bv
the more conventional of his acquaintaI ces,
and whose management of his small son, a
lad or some seven years, is especially amaz.
ing TO the gossips, returned home the other
evening to be met with the news that the
boy had cut hole in the draWing-roofn
sofa.
"Well, my son." the father said, after be-
ing informed by the lad that he had done
the damage under the pressure of an ire

OF children in similar circumstances 81

like company very well, but know your
mother would be ashamed TO have callers

The small boy knew his father too well
to protest, and indeed for the moment he
was probably only too happy to get of SC
easily. When, however, he had been sum-
moued to sit on that cut two or three times

dispensed with.
Now, my son." his father said to him.
II did not make any fuss when you cut my
new sofa covering, and can't allow you to
make fuss about bearing the conse-
quences Of what you did TO please yourself"
The poor little wretch was reduced to a
condition of despair pitiful to behold, when
his father said to him:
Now, Willis, am going to make a prop-
osition to you. You may do just as you
please about it. / promised you a soldiers
uniform at Christmas; now, if you had
rather took that money and had the sofa
mended, would put enough in it to get the
thing done. But if do you will get no uni
form at Christmas"
The lad chose to have the sofa mended,
and at Christmas he bore his disappoiut-
ment like his fathers son. He did have, it
IS only fair to his father to add, good deal
in the way of alleviations of one sort and
another.

In the weary, almost hopeless time of

The washers of nice lace form clacs of
expert labor quite by themselves, and few
people have any idea of the amount of
labor involved in the cleansing operation,
and of the skill and knowledge required.
This labor, Of course, comes in chiefly In the
drying, for the washing is but a simple
thing In comparison. A table is cushioned
and covered closely with a spotless cloth,
and on this the lace is stretched with an In
tricate care that is amazing; through every
mesh pin is placed to hold it In place.

saw some one throw dime into the water
and in plunged little fellow after il. In \
few moments he appeared with the coin
between his teeth. Another dime was cast
into the sea at a greater distance AWAY. AS
quick as flash the young Lad was after II.
and shortly he appeared on the surface with
the prize as before. The passenger who
was thus experimenting with his loose
change was puzzled. He could not under
stand how the money was gotten so readily.
when the idea occurred to him that it was
probably owing to the thinness of the coin
which prevented it from sinking in the
water with any degree Of rapidity He ac-
cord1ngly threw IN a quarter and felt conf
dent that its superior gravity would cause
1t to fail so rapidly that it would be ahso-
lutely impossible for the youngster To get
1t. But in this he was mistaken As before.
he came to the surface successful and tri-
umpbantly shouted to the astonished exper-
1menter: "Do you wish to throw In anv
more' Curiosity was satisfied. No more
money was thus thrown away. A man
might bankrupt himself in a diversion IF
this kind, for, as an old seaman observed:
Zone might throw coins in the sea all day
and the young Kanaka would never miss
one of them"
And the way these young fellows can
climb! 1t is simply wonderful. I wished
on one occasion, writes Rev J. A. Zahm in
the Hawaii Island of Paradise, to get some
cocoanuts from tree hard by and called q
young native to procure them for me- The
tree, from the ground to where the nuts
were, was at least sixty or seventy feet
high and about foot in diameter. The
trunk was perfectly smooth from the roots
to the tuft of large plumous leaves at the
top wanted to test the truth of some of
the stories that l had heard about the
climbing powers of the natives, and took
out my watch to time the young fellow.
When l told him to 'go'' he started up the
tree, monkey fashion. his feet on opposite
sides of the trunk and his hands clasping it
so as to prevent him from falling backward.
And would you believe it! from the time he
began the ascent until he had reached the
ground again, after he had gotten the nuts
l desired, was only minute and a half
There is not one white boy in a hundred
who could have gotten UP such tree in an
hour and half, and for most of them the
ascent would have been impossible The
young diver just spoken of had shown that
he could be as nimble as fish in the water;
the elm Der l have mentioned had proven
that he was as agile as squirrel when
among the trees of the forest.

DIR. Lyman reports through the New York
Medical Journal some very accurate inves-
legations concerning the use of tobacco. In
an observation of thirty-eight boys of all
classes Of society and of average health, who
had been using tobacco for from two months
to two years, twenty-seven showed serious
injury to the constitution and checked
physical development Thirty-two showed
damage done to the hearts action, dis
ordered digestion and a craving for alcohol.
Thirteen had intermittency of the pulse and
one had consumption After the abandon
ment of tobacco, within six months one-half
were free from all the above symptoms and
the remainder were cured by the end Of the
year. The Maoris are given as an instance
of the evil resulting from tobacco. This
race was, when first discovered, the finest
developed of any tribe on the Pacific. 1t is
now decimated in numbers and degenerate
in type. This is said to be owing to their
inordinate fondncss for tobacco.

Be st!ll, ana wat,
And bear thy fate
II thou art poor or desolate-
As patiently
AS IL may be,
Till better fortune comes &c thea
Though black the night.
No star In sight
There surely comes the morning light;
Soccer thy sky
or midnight dye
Tho sun Will shine out by and by.
BE still, and wait,
Nor frown at fate,
10 thy misiortunes small or great;
For thou shouldst know
That Joy and woe
Have, like the tides, their ebb and flow.
The fret and strain
Ofheart and brain
Increase the gloom, augment the pain;
But hours OF calm
Like hallowed psalm
To aching wounds Will furnish balm.
Though many q bliss
Thou'rt doomed TO miss
In such changing world as this,
Thy fears abate;
BE still, and wait,
For Joy will end thee-soon OF late.
