Watched from the wharf, sai1boat
seems an easy sort OF craft 10 manage.
The wind appears to do everything. The
casual guest Of g skilled skipper likewise
Is apt to think that as his host takes
things so easy 1t cannot be 80 very diff
cult to handle @ sailboat after all. He
regards the warning Of experience as
based on the jealousy of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing o science
which its followers try to represent as
hard to learn because they want to keep
it to themselves take a trick at the helm
once.
1t looks easy to keep the boat on heI
course. Your friend who takes you Out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
awhile. Some day he asks you to take
the tiller while he goesforward. He tell
you to keep that spire and that tai
chimney In line. You take the helm; yoJ
do what you think you have seen him do
The chimney and the steeple act as If the,
were bewitched. They positively viii
not come into line. You observe in
knowing tone, "She doesn't seem t
mind her helm" But she is minding he

Most of the fatalities of summer sailin

The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. As to the badger,
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbitsl They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast-often long and com
pulsory one-in winter. So he digs fol
them in the most businesslike manner
just like mole. He knows where they
are exactly-his nose tells him that-and
in less than two minutes the fore part Of
him is buried. All you will see will b'
his hind legs working vigorously and {
lot of earth moving. But he gets hi
rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard t.
reason with. The badger is, know, a!
rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is ,
fox; but where the places that they fse
quent are quiet and secluded they will a
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse tn
order of things. Like humans, wood
land wild creatures are governed by cir
cumstances.

A tiifling incident noted not long ago
In city restaurant tells its own story
and needs no spoken moral. Two girls,
possibly attendants in shop, were sit

one was holding forth to her companion

her.

tho family increased in size and numbers
and fathers salary would not grow in the

In youth men are self reliant, self as
sertive and self sufficient. Soon they
find themselves mistaken. possibly in lit
tie things at first, for the fact is they are
still small in knowledge and influence.
Hence the chagrin of the first errancy is
softened by the reflection that its conse-
quences cannot work much harm. Toe
often they fail to emphasize the impor.
tance of the value of their utterances as
their personal influences widen. Hence
their testimony without sufficient PROOF
for themselves begins to work mischief
for others. Then follow surprises, mis-
understandings, alterations, crimina-
.tions, heartaches and occasionally some
thing worse. Friendships are broken, in
itegrity is wounded, confidence is shaken,
human testimony is suspected.
Now all this is not the result chiefly
of any essentially bad trait in human
nature. 1t arises rather from careless
ness and sort of insincere habit of con
doning the fault on the score of persona

French Servants and Wealthy shopkeepers-
The one extravaganza of dress of the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume has degree of style about it
which she is fully capable of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the so called bour-
geois set-the wives and daughters of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturer
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundress
of the Bon Marchc, was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed in black
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
Bhopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still Z
shopkeeper, and one that never tried tc
look like anything different. When thu
