THREE SIMPLE RULES.

When you invite any one to your
house don't you say "Come any time, u
particularly if you invite them TO take
dinner or luncheon with you. Appoint
an hour ; then they know you wish
them to come.
When any one asks you fJr photo
graph OF yourself don't say you will
give it if you "have any left" This
was well enough in the early days of the
photograph album, but pictures are so
common low that when you are asked
for one you are really complimented.
When some one makes : pretty
speech to you don't say, "You are
kind to say SC" "You are kind to
think SO" would be better, because 1t
does not indicate a doubt of the
speakers sincerity.
These are trifes, whose violation
causes pin pricks, but society is full OF
social pins, and you want to avoid the
little punctures.

Now from their rural outing

Now from their rural outing
Come the summer boarders, shouting
Bout the skim milk and the alimental junk
They have forcedly partaken,
OF the miIdewed pork and bacon
At the farmers in Skowhegan and Squedunk.
They will drip with revelations
Or their wonderful privations,
Of the six-by eight apartments where they slept
OF the beds of real Macadam,
Of the meanness of the Madam,
And the snakes that through the porous flooring
crept.
They will prattle of the chickens
That were tougher than the dickens
OF the pigs tnat overraD the parlor floor,
OF the wingless little ''critter''
That doth sumber-time embitter,
And of suiterngs and mIseries galore.
Yet it's safe to be predicting,
When again the springs evicting
And these very people pack their outing trunk,

WHAT RELIGION ISN'T.

1t isn't putting all the big sound

1t isn't telling other people what to
do in prayer meeting, and letting the
devil tell you what to do in business
matters.
1t isn't whipping your boy for smok-

mouth.

"Not at home"

took a long header out, on the
side next the ship, and as rose, /
heard a crash behind me- The whale
had returned and made an end OF
the boat this time.
We all swan in the direction of
the ship, and Mr.. Cummings boat
stole cautiously round the bows and
picked US up.
Meantime, madagascar Jack" was
thrashing the fragments OF our
second boat to pieces there could
be no doubt as to his fighting
quality. We had already lost one
man and two boats and the Cap
tain deemed any further effort to
kill him unwise and extra hazardous.
So thought most of the men.
But the second mate held out and
exclaimed:
as there man who will go with
me for set at that old man killer, or
will ye see me go alone?' p
The Captain did not exactly forbid
it and three of US, Coles, the black
smith, boat-steerer named Preston,
and |, volunteered to accompany
Andrews to make third attack on
the whale.
We pulled around the Lows in
Mr.. Cummings's boat and heard the
whale at little distance, near where
he had stove the last boat.
A few drops of rain were falling,
and the mist had settled again in
stead of clearing.
"Ship your oars and take the
paddles" said Andrews. Dip easv."
He picked up the boats lance in-
stead of the harpoon. eff we can
creep up where can get a good set
at him just behind the hump, it's all
ask, " he continued, under his breath.
Immediately we espied the black
back of the monster Though the mist,
not half cables length away. He
seemed to be lying there as If on the
watch for u.s. Then, after a moment
or two, he thrashed the floating splin-
ters of the boat again.
With hearts humping hard, for we
felt it to be matter of lie and death,
the boat was propelled forward on the
left side of the whale, and glided past
his fukes. Andrews planted his foot
on the rail, and seized the lance pole
in both hands.
The whale moved slightly forward
but the boat continued overreaching
him for several seconds, till we were
nearly abreast his shoulder.
Then the mate luDged at him with a
will, burylng the lance in mis- side.
He had struck the 'life )" the lance
entered so deeply, that Andrews went
halt overheard with it.
The whale squirmed spasmodically,
then started forward, staving in the
broadside of the boat hefoEewe-uGId
edge off. We Jumped out and dived
as deep as possible, to escape second
blow.
l swan under water for twenty or
thirty yards, and wnen | rose and got
the brine out Of my eyes, | saw the
whale making of. Andrews and both
the others had risen near me; and a
moment after we all saw blood fly from
the animals spiracles.
Madagascar Jack" was done for at
last. He Jagged around io- ten or fif-
teen minutes, however.
They could not see US from the
ship but they had lowered another
boat, and on Andrew triumphant hail,
came and picked US up.
This whale made eighty five barrels
of sperm oil and we had, moreover,
the satisfaction of having rid this ocean
of a dangerous "rogue. - Youths
