AL,TTLG FISH STORY.


Ihad walked out upon the trunk OF a
fal Ell tree ant cast so as 10 be clear oil
entangling Lwigs. when, hearing sue
cession of short sneezes ard turning in
the direction whence the sounds issued,
observed a full-grown boy, barefooted
and coatless, engaged in fishing from the
rock ledge a short distance from me.
The point had reached through thicket
and briar was a wild, unfrequented bend
of the stream where no sign of life had
been visible, except here and there the
quick, restless fit of bird and the play
full antics of young squirrel as he
rambied along the zig-zag lines of a rail
fence on the opposite bank. was there
fore pleasantly surprised in having my
solitude broken upon by human com
panion so unexpectedly near, and decid-
ed TO learn to know him. therefore ac-
costed him:
"Good morning, young man, | VEN
tured.
.Mornin, mister" he answered pleas
antly.
"Your name isn't Wilkinson, Is it,
@"Nope. its Brill. TN Iige Brill ~
"Well." | replied, "Brill is better
name than Wilkinson, at least it is more
easily spoken. because there is less OF IT,
How are they biting your way, ElljahE'
"Only middlin' peart. I've got few
bass and some goggle-eye and bachelor
or two." he said, as he raised tempting
string that made me envious and anxious
to own it for the sake Of my reputation
and the encouragement of our despond-
ing commssariat of the camp; "but, he
continued, am not fishin', mister
"You see, pap, he sent me to town to
fetch new beam for the plough; and
when got to the cattle path that WINDS
through the timber to the crlck' Just
materially. somehow, couldn't get past it,
and lowed pap might wait while drop
ped a line in and rested up spell. This
is not one of my reglar days to fish.
Only happened to be on my way to town
in somethin of hurry to get that drat-
ted beam for pap; and ! must be goin,

interrupting him.

"your ma runs the tavern, as it were
and your pa is the head waiter"
"That's the dee. You've got it mister

No. 3O2.-An Old Riddle.

The following old but excellent enigm'
never met with it before:
In Youth, exalted high in air,
C. h"thing in the waters fair;
y -. to form me, took delight
a.. clad my body all in white.
My lerson tall, and slender waist.
On either side with fringes graced,
Till me the tyrant man espied
And dragged me from my mothers side.
No wonder now | look so thin!
The tyrant stripped me to the skin;
My skin lie fayed, my hair he cropped.
AT head and foot my body Topped;
And then, with heart more hard. than stone
He picked my marrow from the bone.
To vex me more he took peak
To slit my tongue and make me speak;
But that which wonderful appears
speak to eyes and not to ears.
From me no secret man can hide:
l see his vanity and pride,
And my delight is TO expose
His follies to his greatest foes.
All languages can command,
Yet not a word understand.
Without my aid the best divine
In learning would not know line
The lawyer must forget his pleading,
The scholar could not show his reading.
Nay, man, my master is my slave:
give command to kill or save;
Can grant ten thousand pounds year,
And make a beggar's brat peer;
But while thus my life relate
only hasten on my fate.
My tongue is black, my mouth is furred,
hardly now can force word.
die unpitied and forgot,
And on some field am left to rot.

A Wonderful Watch.

In recent issue of journal pub.
lished in Bombay, India, marvellous
watch, which has been made by Bonn.
bay firm, is described. The tinepiecc i:
similar in appearance to an ordinar,
hunting-casc watch. The cases are in.
crusted with diamonds, rubies and en-
Grads. The dial, which is gold, is also or
namented with diamonds, rubies aud em.
eralds, and co itains four smaller dials.
each of which faithfully records the
progress of time in its own division. The
watch preforns seven different functions.
and the mechanism necessary to secure
the perfect working of the whole is
governed By the winding button ut the
top, as is an ordinary timekceper.
The watch IS minute repeater, and
by striking a gong indicates the hour,
the quarter and the minute. Thus By
pressing Il spring the time may be deter.
mined at any hour OF the night, or when
no lights are available. In addition to
this perfect chronograph action di-
vides time into accurate lifths of seconds.
This mechanism may be set in motion or
stopped at pleasure, being controlled by
the pressure o; button over the figure
II, which starts, stops and brings back
to zero the slender centre seconds hand
which revolves around the large dial.
There is also an ordinary small seconds
hand and dial which shows the seconds
when the chronograph is at rest. Thi.
smaller dial is placed in n semicirclt
showing miniature hemisphere, which
though apparently stationary, is moving
and showing exactly the age and phases
of the moon. The remaining three small
dials constitute a perpetual calender,
one showing the months, another the
days of the week, while the third points
to the day of the month. So ingeniously
is this constructed that it shows Feb.
ruary % once in four years only, while
the dial indicating the months has the
twelve names repeated four times around
Its circumference, the groups being
marked Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the position
of the indicator showing how many
years have passed since tie previous leap
year.
