heartily al haven't even an ideal; but, of
course, he'll turn up-they always do. Old
maids are accidents"
"Accidentsr' the rector's wife had ex-
claimed, in a tone which am unable to de
scribe.
She held up the gray cotton gloves, Or
uamented with wrist-tassels, these last
sharing in the good lady's agitation. Their
frisky holdings developed a kittenish de-
sire in Miss Page to seize and secure them.
How delightful it would have been to OBJ
serve the face of their wearer had she
done so.
Miss Page did not always control herself
20 well as on this occasion, however. She
yielded to her inclinations without stint
not infrequently.
One of these events took place not long
after the visit of the rector's wife, and that
was when the rector's son proposed to her.
This gentleman was pretty little per-
sonage, with the physique of tolerably
well-sculptured snowman. His orange
colored hair surmounted his orange-col-
ored ears with pinlon-lke stiffness, which
suggested the idea of pair of Mercury
like heel-wings having sprouted in the
wrong place. He had orange-colored eye
brows, above little dark blue eyes, like
orsnge-colored beard grew one way on one
side of his face, and another way on the
other, as though its owner were standing in
sperpetual draught.
But neither mans personal appearance,
nor the fact of his being rector's son, can
have any appreciate effect upon his love
affairs ESQ far as he himself is concerned).
Thus it CHANGED that Tmotheus Nelson be-
came enamored Of the hoydenish Miss Page,
and proposed to her. 1t was bad enough
until he got down on his knees. Judith
could not stand that, and so down she went
on her knees also, just opposite him, and
said, as well as she could for laughing:
'Please get up.n
You may be sure he did so with alacFity
Heidi more-he got up metaphorically as
well, and remained from that time in a
standing position.
BE admitted that very night what he
could never be persuaded to even so much
aslisten to before: namely, that for young
women to apply scissors to their hair is as
unseemly as alike application is meritorious
In young men. He coutided to his mother
that he had once met Miss Page riding
along upon the highway, and that she was
whistIng. he Test SO far as to state that
with her mouth il that INF .nailine position
he considered her positively plain, and con.

CIVILIZING A SAVAGE.
A Labor of Love Attended by Very Que
fiOnabIe Results.

Labor of Love Attended by Very Ques-
tionabIe Results.
Even the wild native of the Andaman
isles-that land of sorrowful memories
appears to be susceptible of intellect
ual cultivation. Rev Mr.. Chard has
been relating to the inmates of the An
daman orphanage the curious career Of
a savage" who seems to have been
caught wild" at eight years old in the
Andaman isles by a Deputy Surgeon
General and sent by him to schools at
Rangoon and Bangalore. Joseph ac-
quired thorough colloquial knowledge
of English, besides some acquaintance
with the English literary style. He also
studied the properties of medicines with
good results. After his patrons death
he led wandering life in South India,
in the companiOnship of Tamils and
Telugus, whose languages, and more es-
pecially the Tamil tongne, he was said
by educated natives to speak with re-
markable purity. His natural amiabil-
ity, which is, we are assured, character
istic of the improved Andamese, made
Joseph welcome in many a native
bazar, besides procuring him the
honor of an offer from a South Indian
Rajah of position in his Highness'
brass band. Next we find him at
Madras taking service at one tine as
cabin servant aboard one of the British
Steam Navigation Companys vessels,
and finally turning to account his
knowledge of medicines as compounder
in the Rangoon hospital and aboard a
British gunboat. That this Andamese
Admirable Crichton should after all be
found by the Bishop destitute in the
streets of Rangoon at twenty or little
more is sad; but the reason unhappily
Involves no great mystery. While
availing himself of the advantages of
civilization Joseph had developed a pas
sion for strong drinks together with "a
phenomenal habit of lying" In vain
did the good Bishop seek to rescue his
protege by sending him back to the An
daman isles; in vain did Dr.. Mackenzie,
the senior medical officer at Port Blair,
give him another opportunity OF COM
pounding. Joseph's habits were found
to be incompatible with civilized life
and he was ordered to be interned in
the recesses of the jungle. When last
seen he was, according to Mr.. Chard's
graphic description, clothed solely in
the atmosphere, save for daubing of
fat and red mud. London Daily News

Judge Strive, prominent citizen
of Seattle, who had accumulated large
amount of material for history of
Washington, when the great fire was
raging rushed up into his Office to save
some of his most valuable books. "Ah,
this one 1 will save. No, | guess this
one is more valuable" Thus he hesi-
tated, and among his many books, all OF
which were dear to him, he was unable
to decide which one to save. Just then
the cries of firemen were raised, and
the Judge was urged to come down and
save his life. Being thoroughly alarmed
and still undecided, he turned and
grabbed the first book in reach and
rushed out of the building. On reach
ing the pavement he found he had
saved-the city directory.
