Reading Aloud.

AS source of pleasure few employ
ments equal that of reading with some
congenial companion. When she lends
"the beauty Of her voice" to high
poetic thoughts or to the instructive
yolume,or with gay accents brings out
the flavor Of the humorous and quaint
conceits Of others, how intensely we
enjoy, how thoroughly we appreciate!
With little pauSes for criticism and ex-
change of opinion, we 60 on, page after
page, bringing fresh pleasure to our
literary tete-d-tete. And ever after the
story or poem has for us an added
charm. Years may elapse, yet when
we see again the book our memories
recall the scene Of its first perusal-
the vine-shaded pIazZa, WItR' tie sum-
mer sounds and scents; or the snowy
day, when "tumultuous privacy Of
storm" enclosed US as in a sanctuary;
or the long winter evening, when the
lamps glowing radiance aud the bright
fire enhanced our comfort, and mind
and body were equally soothed and de-
lighted.
Some women neither know nor care
for this delightful pastime. They
fancy that a special training by a
teacher of elocution is essential to fit
them for the proper rendering of the
thoughts Of others, and that it is not
worth while to attempt to gain the
accomplishment, rs they have no
special aptness for it, ignoring the
fact that reading aloud is one Of the
talents to be secured by a judicious
investment of the great talent of time.
Clear and distinct enunciation, a we'll
trained eye, and ready comprehension
of the authors meaning are essentials
easily acquired. and the practice Of this
delightful accomplishment gives so
much pleasure that it. is recommended
as an important contributor to that
happiness which every loving heart
would faiu bring into the lives of
others. To read to the dear ones who
are weak or i'll, to the sufferers in
hospitals, aud to aid those whose eyes
are failing as the long shadows oflife's
afternoon cloud their brightness these
are blessings which we can easily be-
stow, and by which we are ourselves
enriched ~ HQrpey'S Bu4dr

A Qneer LiltIe Crab.

Another curious Japanese crab is
the little Dorippe, which comes from
the Inland Sea of Japan. aud has O
perfect human face modelled on the
back of bis little inch-ioug shell. The
Dorippe's eyes, and the uneven edge
of the shell between them, look like
tufts of hair at the top of Il narrow
forehead. There are Jumps resemh-
ling eyeids which slant upward rs 10
those of the japanese. aud other parts
Of the shell look like full and high
cheek-bones Below a ridge which
might be called the nose two claws
spread out at either side, aud may be
llkened to the fierce, bristIing mus
taches which are fastened to lh8
helmet of japanese armor This
plainly marked face on the crabs she'll
naturally gave rise to many stories and
legends. At one place in the Inland
Sea, centuries ago an army OF The
Tara clan was oTertaken and driven
into the sea by their enemies. Al GER
tain times Of the year the Dorippes
come up on the beach aud the rocks
by thousands. THen the fishermen
and villagers say with fear The
Samuru have come again" They
believe that the souls Of the dead
warriors. or Samurai, live in the
Dorippes, and that they gather in great
numbers at the scene of their defeat
whenever the same day comes round
in later Years,
Tie face on the Dorppe's back is
like swollen and mot led one The
eyelids seem closed, as # in sleep or
stupor, while its mouth quite carries
out the other common story, that all
the old topers are turned into these
crabs and must keep that form as a
punishment for some long time. The
swollen heavy faces may quite as well
be those of bIeary old topers as Of
warriors who met deata by drowning;
so that one VITO notices the resemblance
of the shell to "a queer japanese face
may think there is good reason for
either story as TO why the Dorippes
shell is SO strangely marked. -Etssl Z.

Equal to the Occasion.

Prof. Green of Brown university
was one of the best teachers in New
England but he sometimes became So
much interested in his lecture that
when the noon bell rang he kept the
.class five or ten minutes over the
hour.
Certain restless spirits in the class
though they would give the professor
la gentle hint, so they Bought a small
alarm clock, set it to 90 off precisely
at noon and placed it on the profess
sors desk when they came in to the
next lecture. They knew that he was
Ia little aBSent-minded and expected
that he would not notice it.
As the noon hour struck the alarm
went off with a rafting crash, and
those OF the class not in the secret
started and took in the JOKE at once.
There was a round of applause.
The professor waited until the alarm
ana the applause were over and then
said deliberately:
Young gentlemen, ! thank you for
this little gift. | had forgotten that it
was my birthday A clock is some
thing my wife needed in the kitchen
for some time 1t is very kind re-
membrauce on your part
The professor then went on to finish
"a demonstration interrupted by the
alarm and it was ten minutes later
than usual when he dismissed the
class He also took the clock home
with him and the boys never knew
whether he understood the hint or not;
but the probability is that he did

The fort, the garrison, and about 100
