Freak of school Girl.

The Chief of Police of Norfolk. Va. was called on by Colonel William Lamb, who asked his assistance to rescue sixteen-year-old young lady who had given her teacher tho slip left school behind her and taken mp life on coal barge The young lady was pupil at one of the leading in- sti,utious in North Carolina. and ran away from school about four weeks ago. Her pareuts traced her from Elizabeth City to Norfolk. where 1t was learned she had taken up her residence on board of Il coal barge running between Lauiberts Point and northern ports It was said that the runaway was induced 10 try life on the coal barge by &oman whom the captain Of the barge claimed as his daug hter.
 Detectives went down to Lambert's 8 Point after the young lady on the yacht Spray. When they moored alongside the barge. the captain. an aged man named Lima, swore that they should not have the young lady. If they took her, he said, 1t would be over his dead body. Hut when the detectives covered him with three shining revolvers he charged his sey and willingly surrendered the runaway The young lady was turned over to friends. who will escort her home.

 ''l want you to do me favor. See fl there is q woman about 10 years old in there. wearing black silk dress. a brown wrap and hat with two white feathers in it.

 He entered the room and the guilty pair rose up and turned pale as he ap- proached. He did not look at either .of them but walked straight up to the child, took her in his arms, and went out saying;
 We haven't any home now, dar- ling, but we will go away somewhere and make one"

The Modern Girl.

Tho conditions of modern lie ir this great and growing country are such Slat tho average American girl of more favored circumstances may step from the school room, generally before she is 20 years old, into n sta. tion where the demands of domestic, social. charitable and practical aaairs leave her little time for further sys- tematic study, and yet tax every re- source of her store of knowledge and requirement. If. then. she is con. fronted with subjects of which she is ignorant but with which she should have acquired at least speaking ac. quaintance while at school. she may justly reproach her teachers that they have adopted the mistaken policy oi educating n girl who was to leave school at 20 on the plan requiring a continuance at school till at least 23. Though many have doubted tho pos sihility to provide for this active and proper demand. without compromise which is unfair 10 fhoroughness. and which will not result in saperficiaiity we are justified in having adopted and for many years defended such plan, by the highest authority among the educators of modern times.

Passengers on a southbound train
 W ell up on the Hudson, had genuine sensation few days ago. Just as the train pulled out of a way station 1 weil-dressed young woman rushed to- ward the track from the direction of the river, violently signaling the con. ductor. The train was stopped. and tue young woman got on, but when the conductor was about to signal for new start she seized his arm, pointed to tall. slender young mar. who came dripping out Of the river, and exclaimed, Wait for him. Wait for himln The obliging conductor waited.
 but the train had barely got under way when third party loomed up from tho direction Of the river. This lime it was roughly dressed old man who was as eager as the others to be taken aboard the train. The passen- gers took in the situation hastilf. con lectcrcd an elopement. and were ln- stantly in lever of sentimental cx- eitement The old mah got aboard.
 but instead of snatching his supposed daughter from tho arms of her ab- ductur. merely demanded and re- ceived stun of money from the drip ping young man. The supposed elopers were newly married couple returning from their honeymoon in the mountains. They had hired the old man to row them across the Hud- l sou, but had grounded on a sandbank
 just as the train reached tho station.
 The old man had hastily carried the bride ashore, but in essaying to do the like for tho groom had dropped him into the river. Finally, in their haste | and flutter. the young couple had for gotten to pay the ferryman.

Girls and Thanksgiving.

The time has come for every girl to make thanksgiving. Somebody sighs and wonders what they have to bc thankful for; somebody else Is very positive that 1t Is certain she has nothing to be thankful for; but there isn't human being on the face Of God earth who can't find something for which to say. II thank Thee, oh God" One girl has that greatest oi all blessings-good health; another the blessing of a bright, happy home; another. though she lies on an invalid's couch, tho blessing of sunshine and the consideration of those who arc less afflicted. One is glad because on her third finger is n bright ring tha, means that she has become mistress of somebody's heart; and another is glad because worry and troubles are all swallowed up in that great paciiier work. It will do more for you and for me when our hearts are full oi sorrow. and our eyes sore with unshed tears, to feel that the hands must be busy and the brain must be at work If on Thanksgiving Day you can dc nothing else. then get down on you, knees and thank God for work. It Is the best gift that out of His plenty he can offer you. Rah Ashmors n Ladies Home Journal,

led one. and holding s slofs that all men might say. Here is al honest boy" rushed after her and shouted, Please ma'am. you've lost your bustle." She coloured up, scornfully repudiated the ownership. and has, tened her pace to get away from the over-zealous finder. But bis prin- ciples sternly forbade him from keep ing other peoples property, so ho per sisted in following her. Please, ma am, saw you drop it." The boy was small for his age, the bustlo held aloft was voluminons and somewhat dilapidated, and tho wayfarers, at- tracted by the fuss, enjoyed the fun and laughed. The unfortunate lady at last lost all patience, and turning quickly round. said, Go away, you bad boy" and soundly boxed his ears. The lad was staggered by being beaten and called bad boy for such simple act of honesty. One of the laughing crowd observed to him, My boy, let this teach you d little more tact; you Il find it very useful"

The Meaning of Moics.

When We were coming up in the train had exhausted all my reading material. and. therefore, couned over a page of answers to correspondents In 8 ladies paper on the subject of moles aud their meanings says an English writer had DO idea that they meant anything. However. find that mole on womans left shoulder hetokens life of continual anxiety and humilia- ton caused by her own vanity. If on the top of her left arm it signifies Ill., success in love affairs and likelihood of being betrayed by her female friends. Others are no less eloquent. though in more cheerful direction. One on the right hip denotes good for tune. happy marriage and long life. The lucky owner of this festive little mark is assured that she has no danger to apprehend from her moles.
 IL would seem. from other replies. that those on the right side of the body or limbs are of pleasant augurv, while those on the left are of sinister signit- cance. One on the right side of the chin is declared to be to woman Il token to good fortune. happy marriage, 1lN itits NAlktftt iie ~ 10 astonishing how closely some of these small marks can particularize in tho prophetic strain Take. for instance. the eloquent mole on tho right temple. which shows good and happy fortune in marriage. but the likelihood of be- ing widow. vet 1t promises to the owner that she shall be equally for tunate with her second husband. Such is hlissful fate as this is almost unique. l should fancy. It goes to show that there is really nothing in tho shape of good that well-conditioned mole will shrink from prophesying.
 Several of those described by cores pondenls are interpreted as referring to second marriages. A decided iucli- nation to deal in plurals is perceptible. though third marriages are not meu- toned by any of the prophetic moles, Some of them even forecast the slander that is 10 attack their possessors. If one is on the middle of the neck, but inclined toward tho right shoulder, il shows that it's wcarer is likely to be very vain on this account. But if il be nearer the left shoulder she will get herself much talked about in conse- quence of her careless behavior.
 There is no suggestion of any means of circumventing ones moles and ayoidingsihe diSagreeables they prom. lse.

Anarican Girls In EurnnA

The German girls are beginning to complain with considerable bitter ness that American and English girls are encroaching upon their preserves. Very many Americans and English send their daughters to Germany to be educated; the pretty dears not only master the language in n short time quite as quickly and as easily they make conquest of the hearts of tho susceptible German officers. The number of army officers in Germany with American and English wives is very large. and the fad appears to be increasing. In Dresden particularly the English and Americans are in great demand; the native madchen (be she ever so pretty) seems to have no chance at all. In Berlin there is fancy for n peculiar style of feminine beauty; the Berliner admires brown eyes and hair and dark clear com plexion: these features argue amiabil. Ity, fidelity and gentle breeding. they claim. Tho German girls complain that the American girls are natural adopts in affairs Of the heart --- that they seem endowed by nature with all the arts, the audaeity and the cont. deuce of the average young widow.
 By the way. the wife of Count Wal dsrsoe Is an American. and she Is the only person at the German court who declines invitations ts dances on Sum- dnvs and who is persaitted to do so without offense.

bue rasght Schootboys Algebra and An-
 othst riated Classic Music,

A few days ago party of five or six schoolboys, on their way home. stop ped in front of the home of one of their number. The conversation went from one study to another until 1t reached the subject of algebra; here it stoppedi one of the boys declared himself una ble to perform difficult problem in quadratics which had been assigned to him His companions tried to help him. but after all hands had failed it was given up as bad job, says writer in the N. Y. Sun.
 An old and besotted-looking individ- ual who was shoveling coal few doors away had been watching the boys for some time with a look of amusement on his grinty face, After each one had tried and failed he slowly laid down his shovel picked mp a piece of coal, and, walking quietly up to the boys, requested permission to look at the problem. After good deal ct laugh ing 1t was shown to him, and without saying q word he quietly set to work, and in few moments had correctly completed the example, writing il out on the pavement with the bit of coal. The!hoy looked on in wonderment, and could hardly believe their eyes, but were not slow to take advantage of the state of affairs. and in a few mcmcnts the work on the sidewalk had been transferred to paper.
 The coal-heayer in the meantime had resumed his work, which was soon completed, and tho last seen of him he was disappearing iii ths sidc door of a saloon.
 On another ocaSiou party of four men and one woman were seated in the parlor of hotel sot far from this city. Adjoining the parlor was the bedroom. Leaning against the bar leisurely drinking, were several coun- trymen. Al one of the tables sat tramp half asleep. His arm was curlcd up, forming support for his shaggy head, which was covered with a tatter- ed slonch hat of ancient manufacture. Suddenly, through-the halfsopen door. there came the sound of music, the lounEers stopped drinking for mo- ment. but almost immediately resumed their occupation. Nobody noticed the tramp. At the first sound he had rais- WI Ata hNAN HUH tIt tsiV4ts Auh Hie eyes seemed glued to the door through which the music came. As it proceed ed he rose and tottcred toward II, but just as he entered the room the music stopped. All eyes turned on the tramp. who was making straight for the piano. which he reached | moment later. Lightly running his dirty fingers over the keys. suddenly he began 10 play Mendnlsselu' Wedding March," For nearly half au hour the tramp sal thus. playing notbing but the choicest cassi- cal music, with tonch and execution that was itself marvel. The listeners sat astonished and in silence that was not broken until the tramp. rising from tho piano took mp his hat. and going through the har-goom to the door. disappeared down tho muddy road.
