House R0AfS

A well-known boat builder on the
st. Lawrence says the English custom
of living in Households is taking hold
| here.
"All up and down the Thames" he
said, "there are lots of these pretty lit
tie cottages built on floats and called
Households. They are towed about
through the canals and up and
down the easy rivers of England, and
people picnic aboard them in great
shape. About five years ago 1 re-
ceived my first order for a house boat
here. Since then I have built num-
Der and the orders are increasing
every year Some of them are used on
he smaller lakes, at Penn Yam, Wat
kins, Geneva and so on, and there are
quite number of houses about in odd
hooks among the Thousand Islands.
They are a great delight to the chill
dren, and are of unusual value in pic
nicking a short distance from home.
It is not a difficult thing, you know to
pole one of these boats along the mar
gin of lake, or even to paddle it three
or four miles from the home dock to
some sheltered nook where the picnick-
ing party can be entirely alone. In
England they usually have steam or
naptha launch in connection with the
boat, so that short excursions can be
taken from headquarters. The launch
is also useful in towing the house-boat
along. 1t is practically q canal-boat
built above water. The house-boat
fever will never rage over here to any
great extent, because there are tides on
most of our sheets of pleasure waters,
and then, too, we have a pest in the
shape of gnats or mosquitoes on the
banks of our canals rivers and lakes,
which make the house-boat life more or
less of torture. None of these disad-
vantages are to be encountered where
the house-boat flourishes In England"

SDIit Gold Coins.

1.-TWO tens for twenty, please" said
a gentleman to the cashier in the
County Treasurer's Office.
The cashier took the twenty" and
rang it on the counter. It had that Pc
culiar dull ring that characterizes coun-
terfeit coins. He rung it a second time
and then inspected it critically.
us that bogus?" asked the owner of
the coin.
"Oh, no" answered the cashier; ~it's
good as wheat, but split"
Continuing, he said: "That is the
first split twenty I ever ran across.
The stamping machine at the mint
sometimes comes down too hard on the
coins and splits them; but it is seldom
the larger coins split. It's mostly
'fives' that suffer. But they are very
careful at the mint and stop every split
coin they detect. Now, in the thou
sands of dollars handled here every
year rarely ever find a split coin. I
don't think I've found more than four
or five in year, and, as say, the coins
were mostly s. pieces
The split $40 piece looked perfect,
and, so far as the eye could detect, bore
no flaw of any kind. The only flaw
with it was in the ring" and the split
made it sound dead" when thrown on
the counter.-SG7I Francisco E.rGnl-

There, sir, take it in your own honest
hand and give me your opinion of it.
That's Brian, the Bowld," he added,
after he had placed printed paper in
the hands of ODaly.
You'll find it a true copy-this is
the original. Come, Ned" he cried to
the supposed mountebank, stir your
self, the horses are waitin' for US out
side"
And before ODaly had time to real
ize the trick, the scheming bailiffs
dashed down the hall steps, but ere
they had reached the lodge they found
themselves surrounded by half dozen
sturdy farm laborers, with Matt Coo
gan at their head.
~Ha! ha! my buckoes; I've bagged
my game at last" exclaimed Matt. u
knew wasn't far out when [ spied yez
in the market place a while ago; so I've
come prepared to give We both q warm
reception-here, boys" he added, adj
dressing the farm hands, take this rope
and give them enough of it, an who
knows but they'll save the county big
expense by hanging themselves with it.
Fasten them tight on one horses back,
and I'll mount the other and superin-
tend the good work"
MATHS orders were no sooner given
than acted upon by his trusty lieuten
ants. In a very few moments the
brothers Costigan were firmly strapped
to one of their own animals. Coogan
occupied the saddle of the other, aud,
with whip in hand, rode up and down,
giving directions to the farm hands,
which were followed out to the letter.
Pie bailiffs who were tied back to
back, found themselves utterly help
less and unable to offer the slightest
resistance. At length Matt, having ap-
piled his whip somewhat vigorously to
the TANKS of the enemies steed, the
animal started off at spanking pace,
and was soon flying down glen and
rocky pass, over stile and moorland,
with the redoubtable Matt Coogan fol-
lowing in hot pursuit, until at last the
bailiffs' horse was compelled to stop
short, almost buried to the neck in a
soft bog.
AN there I left the pair o. thievin'
pilgarlics," remarked Matt, "up to
their chins until nearly nightfall, when
out O. charity 1 tux few O. the ten
anthry with me and dug them out, and
a purity sight they looked, both men
and haste"
All we have to add is that Redmund
ODaly, after few prosperous seasons,
was enabled to set himself straight with
his creditors.
The celebrity of the Costigan brothers
made the province rather too hot to
hold them. Consequently, for the good
of their own health and the neigbor-
hood in general, they were obliged,
with their ill-earned gains, to migrate
to certain parts unknown.

His Job No Sinecure.

An extraordinary case has just come
before the court In Vienna, when a
groom, in the service of Baroness
Stahlberg, brought an action against
his mistress for damages as compensa-
ton for injuries received In her stables,
which he described as a paradise for
horses and hell for man." The Bar
oness, the man stated, entered the sta
bles at noon and stayed there till early
the next morning. During the time
she was there she fed the animals with
sugar and cakes, and encouraged them
to kick and bite the grooms, whom she
kept m constant attendance upon them,
often keeping them up all night to wash
and feed the horSes.
when l was badly bitten by the
horse Mamsi," the plaintiff stated, In
giving his evidence, ~the Baroness
laughed heartily, and told me to kneel
down and bind up her hoofs- This
declined to do, saying would sooner
attend on q dozen foxes than Mamsi,
and the Baroness said that she would
dismiss me from her service for insult
ing her horse"
The case was adjourned, as several
former grooms and stablemen OF the
Baroness also appeared at the court to
Law complaints for injuries. by bites and
kicks, received In the stables # the

One Fighting Man Taken Care OF.

A gentleman from the rural districts
some years ago accompanied his son, a
delicate youth of about two hundred
pounds, to the Portsmouth Navy Yard
to solicit for him job of work, the boy
having served three years or more in
the army and, therefore, was entitled to
a preference over those who had done
their fighting at home. The father &C
cordingly presented himself to the
proper authorities, when the following
dialogue occurred:
~What claim do you present, sir?"
"What?"
HAS the young man been in the
army or elsewhere served his country ?"
~Yes, sir; and he's big fighter, tew.
He killed every rebel he came across,
licked any quantity of copperheads, and
when he got home he licked me,
the old woman and all the young ones.
If he don't deserve job nobody never
did"
1t is needless to say that the fight
ing man" was taken on.

Twice Tempted.

One of the dearest and loveliest of
grandmas owns that there were two oc-
casions in her lie when she was actually
tempted to steal, and, strange to say,
the recollection apparently amuses
rather than shocks her. Il was very
little girl" she says, when she feels
moved to tell this wicked story, "and l
went with my mother to evening meet
ing. One after another, the neighbors
came suddenly in, dressed il their best
clothes, and looking quite imposing to
me, who knew them better in their
work-day costumes.
Miss Nancy Simmons came and sat
down beside me. She was very pre-
else and serious maiden LADY, she car
ried large palmleaf fan, which she
began to wave slowly back and forth as
soon as she was seated.
"The prayer and testimonies began
and continued, and grew very sleepy.
Ny poor little head was just sinking
into my mothers lap, when pungent
odor, made up of all delight, broke
upon the air. I lifted my head, and
gazed about me, to find the object OF
my search close beside me. 1t was an
enormous peppermint which Miss Sim
mons had taken from her pocket and
broken in two.
"'Oh,' thought I, she will give me

Not at all She slowly and decor
ouslv placed one in her mouth. The
other she laid on her knee for future
use. Then that piece of peppermint
began to tempt me. coveted it, /
loDged for it. Suppose boldly reached
forth and took it! Would Miss Sim
mons cry Stop thief?' Would my
mother see and take me out for prompt
chastisement? suffered an agony of
longing and temptation, and when, after
q terrible interval. Miss Simmons slowly
conveyed the candy to her mouth, 1
drew a long breath of relief over my
safety.
"The next and last time I wanted to
steal was when was young married
woman, and before had any children
of my own. One day gypsy woman
came to the door to ask for food. sShe
carried on her shoulder a dirty but
beautiful child. When they had fin
ished their meal, the woman laid down
on the lawn, and with her baby at her
side, went fast asleep.
After watching them for some time,
/ stole down to take nearer look at the
child. No little pig could have been
dirtier, and yet that baby was adorable.
If could but steal him away from his
mothers arms, give him bath, brush
out those rings of hair and keep him for
my own! The more looked the more
1 coveted, until positively had to run
back to the house, and shut myself up
in my own room.
Ny temptations are over now,
dearies. I've babies enough, babies to
cuddle among my grandchildren, and I
don't even lack for peppermints.
