A BOYS English.

A yachtsman has recently returned
from trip along the Maine coast, dur
ing which, it is his proud boast, he took
a bath by plunging every morning into
the sea, no matter what the weather.
One day he had the misfortune to get
a water bubble in his ear.
As he stood on the deck Of the yacht
trying all sorts of devices for getting
rid of the uncomfortable visitor he no
ticed a small boy who had padded
near an old dory and was occupying
himself in catching cunners, The
urchin watched closely the proceedings
of the bather, his face expressive of the
deepest interest, and at last, unable to
hold his peace any longer, he called
OUT
"Say, mister, why don't yer hop on
the foot that yer ears got the water in ~
The directions were not expressed in
a way to please the Journalist, but they
conveyed the idea so well that by fol
lowing the boys suggestion and laugh
ing ut the same time the yachtsman
soon got rid of his trouble. Youths

influence of the Study of Nature.


To the school where l was teaching
there once came a child of g., with
manner and face plainly stamped with
artificial life, and for weeks her teach
ers despaired of ever seeing any gen
uine, simple feeling The child did
not for moment lose a painful self
consciousness which did not forget to
air her charms at the entrance OF a
visitor, or when she wore new article
of apparel, as she frequently did. The
first time she was asked to make a bill
of materials which she might buy
materials of any kind-simply to show
how bills are written, her bill began:
To ole pink satin ball dress. ........ $50
one pair white kid boots. ......... SIS
and proceeded through eight or ten
similar items of fancy and expensive
dress.
After our first vacation of one week
this child returned with a glad, eager
look ON her face, and going close to
her teacher said; II am so glad school
has begun again. There is nothing in
teresting going on at home" From
that day hermanner gradually changed;
she came to love the stones, flowers
and animals which we studied, and her
face lost its blank, soulless look and
became sweet and gentle This change
in expression was so marked as to be
spoken of by a frequent visitor. Mary

He volunteered to advance the money.
The play was a success, and in q month
he possessed S., 900.
That evening, while waiting on Will
lam ii. Vanderbilt, with whom he was
quite d favorite, he said he had S., 900
and was going back to Germany in two
days.
Don't you do it. Stay where you
are and invest your money in Wall
street," Mr.. Vanderbilt replied, and he
gave him a tip that made his fortune.
Since that time he has followed the
millionaire's advice and remained where
he was, doing everything in his power
to please the guests and get an occa-
sional "tip" on stocks.
Nearly fifty other walters in the
swell hotels who are worth all the way
from S., 900 to $50, 900 could be men

for Wall street, and are ever on the

POSTAL DEFICIENCY.
Mr.. WanamalSer's Plan to prevent the An
nuaI Deficiency

Mr.. Wanamaker's Plan to prevent the An
nual Deficiency.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The forth
coming report of the postmaster gen
eral will show a deficiency of about
$4,000, 600 in the receipts of the post
Office department, as compared with its
expenditures. This is a little less than
last years deficiency, but the deficit is
great enough to command the attention
of Mr.. Winamaker. He will give at
considerable length his suggestions for
increasing the postal revenues to point
where, not only the usual deficiency
would be overcome, but handsome
surplus could be shown yearly.
The first item Mr.. Wanamaker calls
attention to is that paid for the trans
portation of mails. In the last ten years
the freight rates to the general public
have been reduced 90 per cent, accord
ing to railroad authorities; the post
master general can see no reason why
the government should not be given q
like reduction, and if it can be secured
1900, 600 will be saved, or almost
enough to make the department self
sustaining.
Another important branch Of the
postal service that demands a large out
lay without the slightes5 financial re-
turn is the transportation of mail be-
longing to other departments in what is
known as penalty envelopes and wrap
pers, At regular postal yates this bust
ness would return about $S,0O0,0O0 and
the postmaster general thinks the post
Office department should get credit for
some part of this costly service.
The mixing of circulars and various
advertisements with simple copies of
newspapers at pound rates, instead of
one cent for four ounces, caused an an
nual loss to the government estimated
ut 81 100000, while a similar loss occurs
in the transfer of paper-Covered lSoks
at lower rating than they ought to
pay, Altogether, the postmaster gen
eral figures that the department reve-
nues could be increased over Sl4, 000,-
600, or, leaving $1,000 600 off for for
free government mail, the deficiency
ought not to occur again, Congression-
al legislation in these several features is
