About the hardest person on eartn to

in a chair in the parlor with novel or
piece of crochetirg and leave him
there while you are at work, as you
would with woman. If he accom-
panies the man of the house down town
he wanders in and out in such lonely
way that he is an actual burden on his
hosts conscience, and he longs for a
loafng acquaintance who will take his
guest fishing and out of the way for a
day. If he asks his wife to entertain
him it makes her cross, for every wom-
an knows the unpleasantness of "hav-

CHlVALROuS DEVOTION.
A Male Lobster Defends His Better Hal
from Her Enemies.


from Her Enemies.
At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail, and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in the center, and
the case Of the back came away in one
piece. The claws were her next care,
and she worked away at them for a
long time.
1t was proceeding of extreme deli
cacy, considering that all the flesh of
the great claw had to be passed
through the small base. During the
operation one claw came off altogether,
and this must have seemed to the lob
ster lady serious misfortune, as it
will not grow to its full size again until
the second year. The tail and legs
gave very little trouble, and the body,
when thus undressed, proved to be of a
pale blue.
The shell-casting over, the lobster
sank on the sand, and this action
seemed signal for the attack of every
creature in the tank.
The defenseless victim ba de fair to
succumb to the fury of her enemies,
when the male lobster suddenly came
to the rescue. Standing over his she'll
less better-half, he fought her assail-
ants relentlessly. Day and night did
he watch over her, until her shell was
sufficiently hardened to protect her in
fighting her own battles
When this happy moment arrived,
he deliberately picked up the old claw,
broke it in his nippers, and ate the
meat. He then dug hole in the sand,
placed in it the broken bits of shell,
buried them, and piled number OF
small stones above the grave.-Youth's

Hurrying to and fro
Where the waters fall by the quaint old mill,
Wading knee deep in the splashing rill
Where the willows and violets grow;
Struggling along through the clover-blooms,
Hunting the busy bees,
Wreathng their hats with ferny plumes,
Chasing the squirrels in woodland glooms,
Swinging themselves in the trees;
Rolling down hills that are all afiame
With the honeysuckes red,
Securing the meadows or country roads
For daisy and buttercup wagon-loads,
Or feast In a strawberry bed
Milking the COWS In the pastures green,
To Brindle's great dismay;
Searching the barn for new hens nest,
Riding the horses like cowboys west
In most unorthodox way.
think how tired some little feet grew
In the play Of bygone years
OF the little hands that are folded and still
Beneath the roses upon the hill,
In the city of marbles and tears;
And the mothers hearts that are ready to breal
With the merry shouts that mock
And my own oerflows in these summer days,
With thankfulness, and with love and praise
To the Shepherd that guards my flock.

There Was a Little Mistake That MARRIED

man in Chinatown. Some fifteen
months ago he applied to San Fran

a wife. In thirty days the order was
filled, and demure little Acknowledged

Mott street. There was grand we'd
ding feast That was about fourteen
months ago.
Tai Chong's face became conspicu-
ously scarce in Mott street society. 1t
was said that he was busily engaged in
teaching his better half the English
language. Then one day several weeks
ago he reappeared dressed up to kill,
and in his arms he tenderly caressed a
big, fat baby, as proud as red-button-
ed Mandarin of the first rank.
''Nicee babee Tai" cried half dozen
admiring heathens Him boy or gal?"
"Boy" replied the proud owner.

son you can almost always depend upon

the time came over two hundred guests
came, with their five dollar, ten dollar
and twenty dollar gold pieces and gold
and pearl Jewels to enrich the yet emp.
ty pockets of the little Chow and eat
the big dinner.
All the happy guests were seated at
their respective chopsticks and the
steaming dishes of boiled ducks feet
and chicken liver sausages were before
them, when some one whispered that
all was not exactly what it was"
Every heather looked at the grinning
countenance of his neighbor. What
does all this mean? Where is mine
host and the baby? Is this all a hoaxP
Could it be rag baby?"
