"Its Parker's old goat, l reckon,
replied Mrs. Ramsey, as she gathered
the broom and started forth. "Why in
thu name of sakes they keep that old
brute is more than can tell, and if
get to him once I'll put an end to him
in short order"
And the good woman was in earnest,
too. as her determined face and flashing
eyes proclaimed.
Hold on, my dear" said Mr.. Ramsey,
"You'd better not tackle that, goat with

''Worst of it or not, Riel, that goats
got to be killed. I've put up with him
and his devilment just as long as I'm
going to. He's eat up my garden,
chewed my bed covers into shreds when
hang them on the line, and now he's
broke my dishes. The goodness only
knows what he amt eat up and de-
stroyed, and amt going to bear with
him no longer"
"Well," said Mr.. Ramsey, 'just let
me get at him for about q minute, and
I'll warrant he'll never bother you
again. Just wait q moment and I'll
make that goat wish he was in Africa
or some other remote region"
Mr.. Ramsey having properly armed
himself with good-sized club, issued
forth to do battle with the old culprit.
The goat stood in the kitchen door
leisurely chew ing his cud and looking
as innocent and inoffensive as baby.
Mr.. Ram sey was noted for his impetu-
osity and want of caution, and the i'm
pudent appe arance of the old goat so
-enraged him that he forgot all pru-
dence and m ade drive at the brute with
club uplifted. But just at the moment
when he prepared to strike, the goat
gave a quick jump forward, and strik-
ing his assallant drove him back against
the house whore he dropped in heap.
Mr. Ramsey's anger was thoroughly
aroused by this time, and he breathed
forth vengeance dire and awful, but
whenever he attempted to rise the goat
promptly butted him down again, and
at last he found it to his interest to lie
still and await developments.
"Why don't you do something's" he
called to his wife. "Why don't you kill
the beast?"
II can't" said she.
"Can't!" he exclaimed. "Well if !
could get chance at him, I'd soon fin
1sh his miserable existence"
Whatever Mrs. Ramsey thought OF
her good mans threat and the prob
ability of him carrying it into execu-
ton, she wisely refrained from saying
any thing, but instead stood in the
opposite door and shook the broom and
her dress, and 'shooed" at the goat,
and ordered him away in the most
peremptory manner.
But Parker's goa retained his list.

Points to He Considered in Selecting Em-
ployment for Children.
Some occupations are, in their nature,
dangerous to health. Persons employed
in the manufacture of white lead, for
instance, show in their pallid faces the
poisonous effects of the vapor of lead
gases inhaled, and few are able to con-
tinue in the work for more than ten or
twelve years. 1t should be said, how
ever, that good authorities assert that a
continuous milk diet will effect an elm
ination of the poison.
So, also, those whose daily work in
wolves the inhalation of much dust, es-
pecially that of iron, copper, black lead
and coal, can hardly escape harm, un-
less they wear nasal protectors and train
themselves to keep the mouth shut.
Many of the more modern employ
| ments have in them harmful tendencies.
The writing clerk is in danger of writer's
| cramp-often serious infirmity. In
many cases the mental tension of rail-
| road engineers and telegraph operators
results in distressing nervous ailments.
The pastor is exposed to nervous ex-
haustion from the incessant intellectual
demand made on him within and beyond
| his parish, the draught on his moral and
sympathetic susceptibilities by his care
of souls, and his visits to sick rooms and
| the homes of death.
The physician suffers from irregular,
| interrupted, and often insufficient sleep,
| from long rides in every sort of wealth
er, as we'll as from secret anXieties over
many of his patients. Merchants suffer
from the pressure of competition, from
the complications and harassing contin-
gencies of business and from the finan-
cial crises that so often PROSTATE in ir-
retrievable ruin the strongest and most
! conservative houses.
The farmer has his peculiar anxieties,
| and, at certain seasons, very severe
pressure of work. Still, most of his
work favors health, while seasons of
pressure are followed by seasons of re-
| Taxation and rest Besides, the intro
duction of machinery has greatly short
ened the seasons of pressure and less
sened it's force.
Parents, in choosing an employment
for eirchildren, or giving them advice
upon the subject, should study their
| Compartments and inherited tendencies.
Children of consumptive parents should
seldom engage in sedentary occupa-
tions. Those who have inherited weak
hearts should not engage in work in
volving much severe strain. A person
| of unstable nerves should not engage in
| business that makes large and con-
stant draughts on the nervous system.

They Look Like Yachts Among the Huge

Almost like yachts they look, COM

for some of Great Britain's strongest and
most terrible sea-monsters are gathered
in the harbor, lying on the water as if
in slumber, quiet and tranquil enough
now, but ready to awaken at their mis-
tress' bidding, and vomit forth death
and devastation from their steel-clad
sides.
Close to our ship is the Anson; on the
other side the huge Benbow, with mas
sive black hull and white, fortress-like
superstructure, points the muzzles of
her enormous guns over the tops of the
turret-like barbettes on her decks, fore
and aft, while from the ports in her
sides the cannons of her batteries peer
menacingly outward A fringe of davits,
from which here and there boat is
hanging, runs on both sides of her upper
deck, and her tall military mast, the
tops bristling with machine guns, tapers
aloft amidships. The Anson flies the
flag of the Read Admiral; on
her quarterback scarlet-coated white
helmeted marines are drawn up,
and the band is playing; along
side of her some boats are
lying Further out in the bay the Iron
Duke has shaken out her topsails, and
tho canvas droops from the long yarda
in graceful folds, while from her bows
to aft of her main-mast the white cloth
ing of her crew, hanging there to dry,
futters from the clothes-lines. Over by
the long stone wall Of the New Mole
the Northumberland and the Colossus,
the Vice Admiral's ship, and number OF
smaller vessels--dispatch boats and
yachts-are moored, while back among
the colliers the Monarch's white ensign
marks the presence of man-of-war in
| their midst. In the offing anothec naval
monster, the Camperdown, is steaming
slowly out to sea.
The harbor is alive with rowboats and
| launches of all kinds. Yonder, glancing
like fish half emerging from the
water, comes small, queerly shaped
craft. Circling with astonishing rapid
ity around our ship for moment, II
darts off suddenly, and, with swish
and quick splash, something drops from
its side. A moment later dull report,

smoke, curling over the water some dis

waves from sort of buoy floating there
