1t appears that a Western drummer
was hidden to that festivity known as a
lawn party, and the tale further showetb
that among the refreshments provided ON
that festive occasion were some cherries.
The drummer was conscious that there
were depths of social etiquette which he
had never been able to sound, and as he
was after all fellow of sense, with the
American adaptability, and did not wish
to do that which was not according TO
the best usage, he bethought him that it
were well to watch those about him with
a view to getting clews. In the matter
of the cherries he was especially troubled.
as he did not know in the least what was
the proper method of disposing of the
stones when once the fruit had passed
his lips. He decided, therefore, that be-
fore he attempted to eat any of the
luscious looking fruit he would wait and
see what his young and beautiful hostess
did in this delicate manner.
II watched her, he goes on to say.
''and soon had the pleasure of seeing her
slip a cherry between her lips, reddcr
than the fruit itself. / took up one from

passenger stands on it, the cable car

catch hold of the platform and whirl
it along to the next corner. BY that

seat, and the platform is released and
dropped for the use of the next man.

GOOD singers are called upon every
day to choose between offending their
friends and being worked to death.
At every amateur entertainment a
committee calls on them and flatters,
and coaxes, and cajoles them to sing.
If they refuse, the committee goes
away abusing them, and if they ac-
cept they become concert chestnuts,
and are worked to DEATH. Almost
every one else in a. town who has a
special talent has his rights respected

Mrs. ANNIE BEsANT is going to
India to propagate theosophy. Plain,
ordinary people-the common herd,
so to speak-do not know anything
about the occult mysteries of theoso-
ply, and do not want to. IL keeps
them hustling to hold their own with
the tangible things of life. To all
such it seems pity that a woman
of Mrs. Besant's capabilities should
devote her life to this meaningless
crankism. She has been a power in
the charitable and reform work Of
England for many years, but all is
now abandoned for this apparently
useless craze.

Sounds at Sea.

1t is a well-established fact that tho
widespread sails of a ship when rendered
concave by gentle breeze are most ex
cellent conductors of sound. The cele-
brated DIR. Arnott relates the following
circumstance as practical proof of this
assertion:-A ship was once sailing alone
the coast of Brazil far out of sight OF
land. Suddenly several of the crew
while walking along the deck noticed thai
when passing and requesting a parffcuIai
spot they always heard with great dis
tinctness the sound of bells Ginning
sweet music, as though being rung but a
short distance away. Dumbfounded by
this phenomenon they quickly communi-
Gated the discovery to their mates, but
none of them were able to solve the eng
ma as to the origin of those seemingly
mysterious sounds.
Several months afterward. upon re-
turning to Brazil, some Of the listeners
determined to satisfy their curiosity.
Accordingly they mentioned the cireum-
stance to their friends, and were informed
that at the time when the sounds were
heard the bells in the cathedral of st.
Salvador, on the coast had been ringing
to celebrate feast held i'm honor of one
of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to
relate, favored by gentle, steady
breeze, had travelled distance of upward
of one hundred miles over the smooth
water and had been brought to a focus by
the sails at the particular locality in
which the sweet sounds were first heard.

WHERE are the mothers? Every
paper you pick up has column of
inquiries from young women asking
for advice in their love affairs, how
to make their dresses, what is good
for their compilations, what atten-
tions to~accept from young men, etc.
The mothers know more about such
affairs than editors. Why do not the
girls go to them for advice? A
mother is the only person on earth
who will advise a girl regardless of
self-interest. Something is wrong
when she asks such advice from a
