WASPS' NEST IN A MELON.
Panic Created by the Singing Insects
Dogs Fight the Buffers.

Panic Created by the Singing Insects
Dogs Fight the Buffers.
There was funny occurrence last
fall at Baltimore. A sailor on an oyster
pungy, which had been cruising about
the oyster grounds off Mogothy River
landed with dilapidated-looking
watermelon under his right arm. The
mariner entered nearby saloon and
laid the piece of fruit down.
1t being little late in the season for
melons a crowd gathered around to look
at the sailors find, and several of them
emphatically expressed doubts as to the
soundness of the melon. The sailor, in
nocent of what was inside it, said, to
prove the melon was in good shape, he
would plug it before carrying it to his
best girl, to whom he intended to pre-
sent it. He did so, and upon extracting
a piece of the rind about 100 wasps flew
out and made things lively about the
place.
1t seems that the melon was some-
what overripe, and while lying neglected
in it's bed family of wasps had bored
small hole in one end of it and taken up
their abode therein. The man who
brought it to town rushed out of the
place with several of the insects settling
down upon his face, and in his hurry he
knocked over an Italian fruit stand, fell
on cat, which was nearly crushed to
death, and nearly knocked two police
men into the dock. The restaurant man
put out his gas and left his dogs to fight
the wasps.-N. Y. Journal.

A RELIC OF DUELING DAYS.
How the Two Buttons Came to De on the
Back of the Frock Coat.

For many years the two buttons have
figured at the waist line of the back Of
the mans skirt or frock coat. Now,
why are they thereP For ornament and
effect? Not so originally, for these two
buttons were at their beginning for SER
vice and not for decoration. If you put
their inception back into the time when
the big square art embroidered and
gorgeously-lined overcoats were worn,
two centuries ago, and when the gal.
lants of the time were won't to go forth
on dress-parade with the sword at the
side and ready to resent any informal
ity of etiquette, you will find that in or
der to reach the side-arm more readily
the skirts of the coat were turned back
in a reverse-shaped way and buttoned
or looped upon two buttons at the back
placed as these are at the present day.
In this way they secured an immunity
from drapery when the command came.
Draw and defend yourself" and at the
same time exploited a segment of the
rich inside of the skirt of the coat in a
very effective way. The tinsel the
side-arm, the court etiquette, the duello
and the gorgeous lowered texture of
the coat have gone before, but those
two buttons remain on the tail-coats of
to-day, suggestion of that period of
laces, brocades and romance. Chicago

You need not be, for 1 have learned 10 know,
AS In lfes school read the lessons set me,
There are worse tasks than wearing calico.

A clear, wise brain to work my puzzles out,
tender heart to comfort and to love me,
And am happy beyond wish or doubt.
II should die, know, without question,
That this great heart would keep my mem

And, while live, within my little kingdom

His cheerful voice has been my sweetest music
Before bis smile my cares and troubles 90;
And for his sake-I'll tell you as o secret

For any combination" Worth may know:
Loves rainbow shines upon my simple ward

And that transngnres "only calico"

The committee of the American
Board has made appropriations for 1891
on the basis of an anticipated advance,
on an average, over the whole
home field of 25 per cent. from the reg
ular contributions from churches and
individuals. The committee has taken
the risk of this extra $50, 900 or more
needed for the regular work on its pres
ent basis, which, if their expectations
are not realized, will probably be a
debt at the end of the year. In addi-
ton to this, $4,000 is needed for new
missionaries not yet provided for, and
$50, 900 for specials selected from urgent
calls amounting to 500, 900 now in hand
from the missions.

YOUNG WoOD-WoRKERS.

trial Institute of Brooklyn.

trial Institute of Brooklyn.
Let us visit the large, airy room, con-
tanning forty"eight benches Though
only half that number of scholars is al
lowed to work at time), where boys of
the first year spend two periods of each
day learning to work in wood, Each
bench has neat set of tools snugly put
away in little closed cupboard which
stands on the bench, Each boy has his
own and keeps lit in good order, Sus-
pended above the bench is blueprint
picture of the piece of work which is to
be given for the days lesson. From a
large lumber-room on another floor,
boards of suitable size have been
brought, and as the boys come in, with
faces full of interest in the work before
them, they lay aside any superfuous
articles of dress in neat lockers in the
adjoining room. Each has been taught
the use of hammer and plane, saw,
chisel and square, one at time; and
now, with few instructions from the
teacher in charge, the scholar knows
just how to go to work. Perhaps it is
joint or sash that is given to him.
He works carefully, frequently consult
ing his blueprint model. The result of
his work is not a matter of indifference,
by any means. Thirty patterns of diff
ferent pieces must be made, and accept
ed by the instructor, before the boy can
pass from this room to the next; and as
much depends on his fsithfulness in this
this part of his duty as in the geometry
or chemistry class.
Next term, all who have successfully
completed this work will go on to the
wood-turning room, where there are for
ty-eight benches and wood-turning
lathes, besides circular and scroll saws,
buzz-planer and various other
machines necessary to full under
standing of the art of wood-turning.
Such neat little rings, cylinders and
cups as are turned out here; and after
regular hours, you often may see the
boys at work for themselves, busily
making some pretty cabinet, book-rack,
or even set of dolls furniture for the
little sister, thus pleasantly applying
the principles learned in class,-St.

Niagara Wearing Away.

From the report of the State Engineer
of New York it is learned that Niagara
Falls are receding about two feet every
year. The first accurate survey was
made in 1912, and since that the total
recession amounts to more than one
hundred feet, This is not strange, con-
sidcring that two hundred and seventy
thousand cubic feet of water pass over
the fails every second, or over sixteen
million cubic feet per minute.

Oyerwork at the Table.

1t is not overwork except at the table
which causes so many to break down.
There is great deal more softening of
the liver than softening of the brain;
too much exercise of the jaws and not
enough of the muscles. People are dy
ing everywhere of physical excuses, of
useless expenditures of vitality. Proba-

vigor of every man and woman is vast
ed and the last twenty or thirty years
of their lives is el1ed out miserably in

Two Men Get Very Close to a Cheap Din
ner, But Paid Sizeable Bill.
Men who have travelled all over the
world are saying that some of the table
dhote dinners in New York are the best
small and secluded cafe such repast is
served for one dollar as no man not
versed in the delicate art of cookery
could ever select for himself. One of
the greatest gourmets of the town re-
Gently went into raptures over this
cheap and delicious dinner, and told all
his friends that they must not miss it,
One night he met two acquaintance
from out of town, and, as he was unable
to dine with them, he gave the address
of the restaurant where the table d'hote
was served, saying they must go there
by all means. The two strangers started
up town together, stopping in on their
way atvarious art galleries where pictur-
esque appetizers were freely disposed of,
and finally arriving at their restaurant.
To the waiter one of them said that
they did not wish to see any bill of fare,
but they would trust him to serve a
first-class dinner. 1t was indeed such
one in every respect, and the diners
uttered blessings upon the friend who
had sent them to a place where the best
of viands were so cheap. The claret
was surprisingly fine, and it put the
friends in such glowing mood that
they resolved to go into little extra
expense by ordering bottle of cham
payne. After cigars were lighted, one
of the men called for the check, and, as
his eyes fell upon the addition, look of
CONSERVATION spread over his face. He
called the waiter.
"Isn't there some mistake about this?"
he asked
"Non, monsieur" responded the
waiter.
But you served us table d'hote din
ner, didn't you, for a dollar?"
80, non, monsieur, replied the waiter;
''ze plaiz we're gay sairve &c table d'hote
is two doors below"
whats the bill, Jack?" asked the
man opposite.
Fifteen dollars" replied Jack.
Both men allowed their cigar to GO
out while they mentally kicked them
selves.-N. Y. Sun.

To provide for the very general fash

SO like the expensive Persian lambskin
that an expert alone could tell the diff
ference. Gray krimmer and black as
trakhan are likewise admirably copied,
new productions in these trimmings
being displayed this week. These imi-
tations in soft silk wool are really in bet
ter taste than the host of cheap feather
bands and inferior skins indifferently
dyed to initiate more expensive fur, for
instance, "blue fox" which sold for a
song Genuine blue fox is only used
on wraps of great value, but many
women walk abroad in the dreadful i'm
itation of "blue fox'-a dyed fur and a
dyed blue that would scare any fox who
saw it. OF course blue fox is not blue
at all. at is so called because it isn't"
a wise furrier once explained. Few
people know the fur when they see it,
or have the least idea of its actual val
ne, and as it is neither sable nor seal,
its price when given is invariably pro-
vocative of eiaculations.-N. Y. Post.
