\ Living Net.

At Tetuila, one Of the islands OF
Oceania. NJ. Aylic Marin witnessed
a peculiar method Of fishing. The
scene, as he describes IL, is pictur-
csque and interesting. The costume
of the natives OF Tetuila is a kind Of
short tunic OF sea-weed or leaves.
They powder their hair white with
chalk, and wear wrcaths Of gardenias
or red hibiscus on their heads and
around their necks The warriors,
unlike the men Of peace, powder their
hair red. AS their locks are very
long they have quite a terrible ap-
pearance.
At signal all the inhabitants Of
the village assembled on the sea-
shore. There were about 200 per-
sons They plunged into the water,
each carrying bunch Of cocoa palm.
At given distance from the shore
they turned toward il, and formed a
compact half circle, each one holding
his palm branch perpendicularly in
the water, thus forming a kind OF
seine. The leader OF the PARTY gave
a signal, and this living net APP
preached the shore gradually, in per.
feet order, driving before IL a multi
tude OF fishes. Surrounded by this
living wall, and caught in the cocoa
palm branches, many OF the fishes
were cast on the sand by the waves
and Others were killed with sticks
The women gathered up the fishes
in baskets. Some were at once taken
TO the cabin OF the chief OF the vii
lege, and some were cooked for NJ.
Marin over hot Goals, and given to
him without seasoning, but with
bananas and cocoa milk TO complete
the meal.

His Apt Reply.

Countess -, who is an American
by birth and delegate to the Col
umhian Exposition from 4 foreign
country, applied for a complimentary
card Of admission. The official TO
whom she spoke OF the matter eX-
planned to her that il would be i'm
possible for him to issue such card,
because il it were lost he had no way
of tracing it.
"a Photographic pass is much bet
ter" he said, "as it can be readily
traced. Such passes" he added, ''are
used by all members OF the Board Of
Lady Managers"
The Countess objected to having
her picture taken for a Photographic
pass on the ground that she was q
titled parsonage and il would not be
in conformity with etiquette.
"Well, replied the official. by way
Of persuasion, ''my mother is men,
ber Of the Board OF Lady Managers,
and when she comes TO Chicago next
week she will have her picture taken
Just like the other members"
"But YOU see, said the lady, Il am
a Countess.
"Yes, know" retorted the official.
'and my mother is a Queen"
The Countess stamped her foot, and
without another word turned and
left the ohce.

The Mules Knew the Route.

A remarkable instance Of the Stub
bornness with which mules retain
ideas once impressed upon them was
seen one day last week. A dairyman
who for years had driven his own
team and served his 200 or more Gus
toners in Cincinnati personally, died
suddenly before he could give his son
a list of the customers. The latter,
however, started the wagon to town
at the usual hour the next day, with
instructions To deliver milk wherever
the team stopped. The animals
trotted alOrg briskly till they reached
Abigail street, where they pulled up
in front of grocer. A maid with
a pitcher soon ran out and taking
the name and order the driver con-
tinued. He simply started the mules.
letting them pick the route, and
when they finally headed for home he
found he had a list OF over 100 GUS
toners The mules had not only
stopped at all the regular places. but
as was afterward learned, had re-
gained several former customers who
had changed milkmen recently, but
who, pleased with the queer method
OF learning the route, again returned
20 the old milk. k.-Cincinnati Times

4 Transaction in Trousers.

4 very absent-minded member OF
the French Institute was reading a
newspaper i'm the Casino at Dieppe
the other day. He was absorbed by
his reading, and with his left hand
he unconsciously pushed the files Of
newspapers on the table. Each
moment he sent them farther from
him. Beyond the papers was an ink
stand, which at last the moving
papers pushed over the side OF the
table 1t fell on the trousers of a
Paris banker, who was furious at the
accident.
The absent minded man offered his
best excuses without appeasing the
bankers wrath. who shrieked that
his new trousers were ruineI.
"But, sir, l will cheerfully pay for
them. Be good enough to give me
your card and 1 will send the money
10 your hotel"
ITO nv hotel, sir. l don't know
you. / must instantly have the thirty
francs these trousers cost"
The memb ber OF the institute drew
forth the thirty francs and handed
them 10 the banker. Then he said:
Now that you have been paid, 1
nope you have too much OF the deli
cacy Of a gentleman TO remain in my
trousers You know they are mine,
and insist upon their immediate
delivery to me. You have no conf
dence in me; | have none in you, My
trousers"
In vain the banker protested
against such haste. The crowd that
had gathered about the dsDutants
said the member OF the institute was
right, and the banker, after sending
for another pair Of neither garments,
surrendered the ink-staincd ones.

A WATER MONKEY.


BACK Age5n.
Monkeys, as is well known, are
like cats in dread Of getting wet
says writer in the Youths Compan-
ion. On shipboard l have often
laughed TO see them scampering from
heavy spray as il dashed over the
deck or huddling together under the
lee OF the long boat during passing
shower. But on the ship Euphrates
we had monkey that was actually
fond of swimming.
One day while we were anchored in
the roadstead off Cape Coast Castle,
on the west coast OF Africa, the pas
sengers were seated under the avn
ing looking at some jewelry that had
been brought on board by the natives
and offered for sale. The Captains
wife had very rare ring made OF
African gold and engraved with the
signs Of the zodiac. IL had been
brought to her as an engagement rinS
by her husband, and was the dearer
TO her from the fact that he had been
wrecked and picked up at sea with il
on his finger.
One OF the lady passengers who
had been looking at the ring and
whose attention was attracted by
some Of the native jewelry placed it
on the cabin skylight beside her.
The next moment our pet monkey
jumped on the skylight, seized the
ring, and, putting il in his mouth,
jumped on the main deck and ran
forward.
Instantly everyone was on his feet
chasing the monkey. 1t ran from
one end Of the deck TO the other, and
then climbed aloft. Some of the
sailors went up and drove it down
again.
bulwarks il paused and looked around.
The sailors were fast closing in on il,
aud without a moments hesitation
il Jumped overheard.
On rising TO the surface it tried TO
climb up the vessels side, but her
copper was high out OF the water and
il could get no hold with it's paws,
Then il dived, swan under the ships
bottom, and came TO the surface on
the other side This performance it
repeated three or four times.
While this was going on the Cap
tain's wife ramained seated. Tears
were in her eyes as she spoke TO the
sailors. "Never mind" she said
don't chase the poor monkey any
more; il doesn't know any better. Its
instincts teach il TO steal"
She had hardly finished speaking
when the monkey game over the
quarter Of the vessel and with rush
leaped across the deck, jumped into
her lap, and, putting its little fingers
into its mouth, drew the ring out OF
the cheek pouch at the side Of its
jaw and dropped 1t into her lap
With cry OF JOY she placed it on
her finger, and, taking the dripping
monkey in her arms, she pressed it
against her bosom and kissed its lit
tie black, upturned face.

Sweetheart Aided I'm Their Elopment.

The Quality OF Eggs.

Has il occurred To any Of our poul-
try-keeping friends that there are
such things as gllt-edgcd eggs? It Is
Il tact that some men are able To get
3 cents or more above the market
price for their eggs right along. The
way that they do il is by having,
first, the right kind of eggs and, sec
ond, by putting them on the market
in the right way. The best buyers
prefer a pure white she'll, same as
those OF the Black Spanish. Then
the eggs must be absolutely clean,
and put up in small, neat packages.
Every package must have the name
of the producer and the date at which
IL was put up and contain "a guaranty
that the eggs are fresh. Put few
packages of this sort on the market,
and you will soon find that there are
people who appreciate your efforts,
and, what is more, they are willing
TO pay for such carefulness.

A Fiery Ghost.

A ghost that gets himself up in Il
brilliant vesture of flame is creating "a
disturbance in the vicinity Of Hanel-
town, suburb Of Cincinnati. The
scene of his apparitions is an an
cient log cabin, which adjoins q
dairy managed 10y a reputable widow.
A few nights ago gardeners passing on
their way TO market noticed brill
iant light in the cabin, and thinking
Jnat IL might be on fire they went TO
awaken the people in the dairy. To
their horror, so they say, they could
not pass the cabin TO reach the in
mates OF the house, being held as if
spell-bound by some inSensible power.
They were glad TO retreat, and re-
gaining their wagons, proceeded on
their way TO market. Since then the
bright light has been noticed by a
score Of persons to whom the gar
dener's told their experience. IL has
been seen to come with wavy, dane
ing motion from the adjacent cliffs,
and passlDg around the yard, over
the house and dairy barn, at last set
ties in the cabin, where it remains
for hours, then suddenly disappears.
When it is over the dairy barn, the
cattle are intensely excited, believing,
and trying to break loose from the
ropes which contine them TO their
stalls. The singular light is in the
shape Of man, and is supposed TO
be either the spirit OF an old pioneer
who was killed by Indians in. the
cabin when Cincinnati was village,
or that OF the proprietor himself, who
is not pleased with the way business
is being carried on.

Rcautifying the Waste Places.

II is said that few farmers have
any great taste for gardening, that
farming is simply a mere question OF
getting the most out of the ground
that is possible; in other words, IL Is
a business in which money-making
rules supreme. This is very good
principle 10 take as the basis OF sue
ccssful farming, yet beauty never
does any harm, even in connection
with the solid facts and figures of
business. especially when IL can be
accomplished without the expenditure
OF much cash. Pennsylvania is a
State famous for its number OF
springs-there is scarcely farm In
the whole OF its wide territory but
has IA snring OF water somewhere
about IL, and the original settlers en-.
deayored, rs far as possible. 10 build
their houses near these springs, over
the outlets OF which they erected what
are known as spring-ho houses, in which
the various operations OF the dairy
are conducted. In passing through a
the portion OF PENNSYLVANIA, recently,
writer was interested in noting that
in a case where the pathway had TO
be cut several Yards through the sur
rounding earth 10 get To the sp ing,
on account OF its being some feet be-
low the surface OF the earth, the lit
tie embankment formed 10y this cut
was thickly studded with large stones
or rocks, and in among these rocks
were set native ferns, evidently col
lectej from the woods in the locality.
To prepare this could scarcely have
occupied more than day. yet the re-
suit was, rs the poet would say, "A
thing OF beauty" which was GER
tainly "a JOY forever" There is no
reason why these little evidences OF
superior taste in the owner OF farm
might not be more extensively eX-
hited than they evidently arc. Nee

ISock-a-by Baby.

During one OF his trips to the
coast Range Mountains, Joe Cohen,
n peddler, came TO lonely cabin, and
found the door wide open, says the
Newman Banner.
In the center OF the floor stood n
cradle, I'm which was an infant fast
asleep. The cradle was rocking with
surprising regularity, but no sign or
what propelled IL could be seen.
.Joes curiosity was aroused. He
went TO the cradle and found stout
cord attached TO "A nail driven In the
side OF IT. Tne cord passed through
an auger hole In the side OF the house
He took up the trail, which soon led
him into a rayine where donkey,
or burro, was standing and switching
its tail
The mystery was explained The
other end OF the cord was tied to
the lacks tail, and the constant
switching OF its caudal appendage
furnished motive power sufficient to
rock the cradle.
