A putr to Chnhren.

The body may be looked on as a liy. ing machine, delicate and complicated in structure, made to run hundred years or so, but liable, by bad manage ment to be disarranged and brought to untimely destruction.
 All continuous physical transgression, however innocent it may seem, is fol lowed by a like retribution. Such is the punishment which overtakes mul- titudes who overwork their brains and underwork their muscles of not few who waste vital energy with anxiety, fret and unstinted cure; of many who overlook the great law of their physical being that makes daily recuperation depend on the interchange of work and rest Even ministers of the gospel not unfrequently allow we'll meant faithful ness to end in fatal mental strain.
 One of the signal facts connected with many forms of physical transgres. sion is it's tendency to weaken the vital stamina of the'tranSgressor'so offspring. The least child can ask of its progen. ilor is fairchance of life. To squander the vital inheritance of ones offspring $ vastly worse than to squander its large ancestral estate. Youths Com panion

Stonehenge is a famous ruin of great but uncertain antiquity, situated in the center of a plain near Amesbury in Wiltshire, England At present it is merely a confused mass Of mosscovered stones which must be closely inspected tn order to trace out the original form, which was two concentric circles of hnNe upright stones, inclosing two elipses, the whole surrounded by cir cular ditch and embankment, the wall being fifteen feet high and ,O1O in cir cunference.
 There js much difference of opinion among antiquarians as to what the original building, monument or dike was used for Many eminent scientists believe it to be the remains of a Druid ish temple, erected long before the Ro- man invasion of Britain. St, Louis Republic.

The best way of ridding a house of rats is to fll all the holes that can be found with pounded glass and seal them with plaster of paris and tin if you wish. Then thoroughly clean the premises and see that there are no garbage pals left about to attract rats, and secure the services of good eat
 Treat her kindly, confne her as much as possible to the basement of the house, so she will keep these inTuders away, and there need be no trouble

Queer Fish That Are Said Co serenado
 Residents of Cape May.
 The singing shad has been seen and heard in lower Delaware bay this year. It hasn't been seen in large quantities, of course, for the appearance of this odd fish in these waters is a rare occur renee But few of the singing shad have enchanted the fishermen They cone from the south, and only when the wind has died down and the water Is quiet. They come in schools, emit ting musical notes as they swim along The sounds they make are soft and something like those of an eolian harp lt is hard to express, or rather initiate, on raper, the melody they sing, It ~g# somCthing like this Wee ho, he hi do de wee ho, die di dum
 This sound cannot be made with any effect; except when the shad travel in schools The singing of single shad is too fe5 ble to be heard above the rip pie of the water Captain Arnold, one oi tAe oldest and most truthful of South Jersey fishermen, said tho other day that he had heard the singing shad a number of times in his piscatorial career They are rare, of course, so far north as this, Even when they do come only old fishers are apt to hear and distinguish them We know about them and are more or less on the look. out for their occasional arrival They really belong of the coast of Bolivia and Chili. There they are quite com mon. All sorts of fairy tales are nar rated about them by South American fisherinen. The singing shad also breed in Japanese waters. The fisher men of Japan are delighted when they strike a school of singing shad They follow them up reverently, because they believe the fish are inspired. They throw them food and never catch or eat them.
 The singing shad is different from the common back or roe Shad. It is not so large and there Is a slight differ ence in the formation of the mouth. Only an expert fishermen can tell when hehas caught one of the Gnuy song, sters Old fishermen regard the nut sical shad as prizes and do not send them to market unless they are paid a very high price for them It is esti- mated that they travel in schools of about 800. Their singing is pleasant at first, but soon grows monotonOus, owing to the fact that it is a constant repetition of the same few sounds Whether many of these peculiar fish ever go on up the Delaware or move on to New York and mingle with the plain every day Hudson river shad is not known They lose their identity when they get in with other fish, and it is doubtful if they ever sing alone Baltimore American.

A Selfish and Annoying Traveller iuvolA
 untarily Gives Up His Seat.
 The east bound Jersey Central train on which was coming to town tine other day was crowded and several ladies were standing in the aiSle. Being as young as look, unlike my neigh Dor, gave up my seat
 A garrulous, middle aged man who occupied the outside seat next to me, seemingly stung by remorse and may hap shame, but too selfish to give up his seat said to tue lady who was stand ing near him
 Madam, would gladly offer you this seat, but really am a much older man than look.
 Pause for polite refusal of that which was not prolrered, But the lady took no notice of him.
 Under ordinary circumstances l con. tend that no man should retain his seat and allow lady to stand But you would hardly believe that am well nigh on to sixty one, would youl Yet such is the fact People, particularly passengers, often take me to be no more than forty at the most, and con sequently think ought to give my seat to the ladies; but that is my misfor- tune
 No response
 "l presume that you yourself are at present the victim of your youthful appearance just now
 He thought he noticed Q faint smile, but of this history makes no record
 T feel confident that l am old enough to be your grandfather, con tinued the willy talker, and besides l had one foot cut of and was shot in the other in our late unpleasantness, and have contracted rheumatism, so that can hardly stand, and it takes me half day to walk a mile, and l know that under such circumstances you will pardon my seeming impolite, ness.
 Still no recognition
 l fear lest appear rude and bold in thus addressing you, a stranger but owing to my extremely youthful ap- pearance and the fact that l retained my seat while you, madam, were standing, ] felt that some explanation was due you, and hasten to make it. "
 The lady turned her head away.
 Believe me, assure you, that if l were not SO heavily and unfortunately handieapped'-
 Just then the conductor pasSed by The lady whom that human hog had had the audacity to try to engage in conversation in attempted eycuse for his hoggishness without the slightest indication that she had noticed or heard him, said to the conductor:
 'PleaSe, sir, eject that man He has been annoying and insulting me, as these people will prove
 That is true, said another lady who was victim of this species of bi- peds
 So the garrulOus hog was hustled into the smoking car at rate which showed that his battie scared feet were well heeIed to the satisfaction of all eyewitncsses.
 He had no sooner been lifted out of his seat than the lady whom he had been addressing eusconced herself in it.
 And thus the human hog had after all inyoluntariy given her his seat Diplomacy sometimes pays. New York Herald

The comparison Blind as beetle" is a familiar one, and it is as false as it is familiar This insect, in its rapid flight during the evening, often strikes the faces of those who are walking abroad, and hence it was enormously inferred to be blind. Collins refers to the flight of the beetle during twilight in his Ode to Evening" The poet however, avoids quoting the popular error that the insect Is blind. Phil adelphia Ledger

The beautiful Mrs Norton one day went to buy some plaster casts for her niece to use as models in drawing, The proprietor of the shop displayed large collection of hands, arms and ears, and finally held up a very symmetrical nose.

1t will be remembered that Bea-
trice's beautiful dark eyes have
played havoc lately with the heart
Of Albert, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales. What it will
amount to is as yet a l1atter OF
conjecture in England. The young
ladies are acknowledged to be the
most beautiful in all Europe, and
there will be not a little excitement
in the hearts of our American
bellies over their coming. They are
exquisite dressers, and their cos
tunes will be marvels of curiosity.
Unlike most ladies', they know ex-
actly what is suited to them. Some
time ago they sent for the chief de-
signer Of the Paris house of THE
New YORK AND PARIS YoUNG La
DIES FASHION BAZAR, and select
ed forty costumes each, the cost of
which will amount to thousands of
pounds.
Through the courtesy of these
young ladies we have been permit

quisite costumes, which appear as
figures 3 and 4 on the cOlOred plates
of the June number of this maga-
