A FARCE IN REAL LIFE.
How People with Good Intentions Get
Into Awkward Situations.


How People with Coed Intentions Get
Into Awkward Situations.
One Of the best known literary men
of Boston has two sisters. One is I'M
married and keeps house for him and
two or three congenial friends The
other is married to q gentleman who is
an amateur politician statesman If you
prefer. Not long ago this statesman
was called from home on some impor-
tant business and expected to be gone
over night. His wife sent to her sister
to come and divert her in her tempo
rary divorce. But this was impractical
BILE, and word was sent to that effect.
Shortly after the messenger had de-
parted it occurred to the sister that she
might at least ask one of her brothers
friends to go and stay in the house and
brighten away possible burglars. About
8 O'Clock young man rang the door
bell of the statesman's house, and when
the servant appeared walked in with
out being invited, much to the alarm
of the maid, for her mistress had ac'
cepted o sudden invitation to the the
alter.
The young man, annoyed at the per
sistency with which the suspicious serv'
ant kept guard on him, and finding
nothing better to do, made his way tc
the spare room, went to bed and soor
fell into the dreamless sleep vouchsafed

THE WAVES ON THE HARsoR BAR.

Oh, the rosy waves on the harbor bar
Laugh and blush; as the rising tide
Comes pulsing In from realms afar,
Comes dancing In from the ocean wide,
And the fisherman huns a quiet tune,
AS sweet as song Of brook In juno,
That dreamily sings to the little flowers,
Az they browse on its banks thro the sunlit
hours;
And he smiles az he drifts in his boat afar.
Past the rosy waves on the harbor bar.
Oh, tho golden waves on the harbor bar
Dance like the light OF loves young dream.
As the taintless tide from realms afar
Comes ripping In with its sunny CLEAN.
From little cottage there peers face
AS sweet as a violet's quiet grace;
And, with cheeks like the heart of sunlit
rose,
She watches his boat as Il seward goes;
And he waves his hand as he flies afar,
Past the golden waves on the harbor bar.
oh, the fierce white waves on the harbor bar
Seethe and roar as the maddened tide
Comes bowling in from the sea afar,
Comes laundering in from the ocean wide.
Gazing seward with aching eyes,
She raises her hands to the leaden skies,
Asking the life on one whose name
Brings to her cheeks the touch of flame;
And with tear blind eyes she looks afar,
Past the fierce white waves on the hHrbor bar
Oh, the leaden waves on the harbor bar
Sob as they roll to the surf girt strand,
Moaning for wrecks they have wrought afar,
Fer desolate hearths on sea and land.
Wearied with watching, she lays her head
For a moments rest on her little bed,
And drearily thinks Of the coming years;
While ever, thro' all her dreams, she hears
Tho moaning sob, as it floats afar,
OF tho leaden waves on the harbOr bar.
Oh, the silver waves on the harbor bar
Dimple and laugh in the moons soft light
AS she rises out of the sea afar,
A blushing globe in tho heavens bright.
In the mystical sheen of the queen of night
There's the CLINT Of q sail that is snowy white
AS fishing smack tears her way thro' tn
foam
To sweetheart and happiness, love and home
And tho tide comes swinging from realms afar
Past the silver waves on the harbor bar.

Animals That Live Under Heavy pressu,

Animals That Live Under Heavy Pressure.
1t is said by scientists that fishes and
mollusks living at q depth of more than
three miles under water have to bear a
pressure of several tons, the weight be-
ing that of the superintendent brine,
which exerts its power from all sides.
The reason they are able to bear this
tremendous Weights because they have
exceedingly loose tissues, which allows
the water to flow through every inter
stice, thus equalizing the weight. When
the pressure is removed they die almost
instantly. st. Louis Republic.

Heed the Warning.

1t it not unfrequently the case that
itching pimples and irritating "cat
boils' are the forerunners of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably nature puts out her danger
signals, and they should be needed at
once. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is not in good
condition and nature is trying to re-
lieve the system. A few doses of
Swift's Specific at this juncture will
accomplish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system cleansed
of its impurities. The modern para
phrase of the old saying, "a stitch in

save nine pair of breeches." The
modern form has a touch of humor
that does not modify the truth of it,
In that vein, we may say that course
of Swiits Specific prevents ills terrific.
