II might be unwlso to deny 10 tho
members Of the gontler sex the prlyi-
lcgc Of changing their minds as many
times as they please, aud Of having the
changes follow In AZ rapid succession
as they eau be conveniently arranged &.
Yet there isa rick Of great danger In

should not be- dlsregariel, particularly
In regari to matters that concern the

tho lady had me. a young

Gregg, who were married two days

mont the loss Of hi, time and money
spent on the overland trip, and to bear
the chagrlu brought him by the fiskis-

OF course, when tho lady changed
her mind a, to the person she wanted
fora husband, she had the right 10 turn
back even at tho altar. In fact the
reasons for varying from her altitude

may sometimes render such action im.
poUlivo. But when It h followed by

When the naturalists of California

worthy of their scientific attention,

[ Strange to say neither the specimens

"Then that is all you need, Robert"
| she said, turning to gentleman who
! stood in the shadow beneath the stairs;
"the man admits that he's smuggler,
and all you've got to do is to report him
at the custom house."
The person with. the rugs turned
pale. For Heavens sake don't do
that, ma am" said the man. 1--WE got
sick wife and four small children at
home who are dependent on me for
bread. Take the rugs for two dollars

The husband and wife communed
apart, the latter evidently pleading for
the poor wretch. At the end of their
conference the money was silently
counted out to the smuggler, the door
was opened and he was permitted to,
go. And the next day when madame
priced the same kind of rug at the
stores on Woodward avenue she found
that they would have been dear a. a

A FIshy Story.

Pyeng Yang, city in Corea, was
founded 3,016 years ago. 1t is known
as the well-less city. Within it's walls
is not single well, and all the water
of the city is carried up by watermen
from the river which washes its south
ern wall. Tradition shows that this
has always been SO, for it is said that
when a Chinese general besieged it
1000 years ago, believing that he could
compel its inhabitants to capitulate by
cutting off their water supply, he was
led to give up the attempt because the
soldiers on the walls took fish scales
and went through the motions of the
bath, and the scales, glittering in the
sun, looked, in the eyes of the aston
ished besiegers, to be drops Of water.

One cocoanut q day serves as a meal,
the nut being cracked as If it were an
egg, and the kernel slowly devoured.
In appearance the crabs remind one of
nothing so much as overgrown and ex-
aggerated spiders with abnormally de-
veloped bodies and wonderful wealth
of legs. Capt. F. d Walker and his
sons are very proud of their captives,
which they assert are as rare as birds
of paradise.
Five years ago Capt. Walker, with
his wife and family and seven or eight
others, was shipwreeked on a small
sand island belonging to the Midway
group, where they subsisted for four
teen months on sea birds, eggs and fish.
They had started from Honolulu on
the bark Wandering Minstrel on a
shark-hunting expedition, and, after
passing through the various islands to
the south of the Hawaiian group,
sought protection from typhoon near
Midway island. Their ship dragged
her anchor and ran on the reef. The
crew, numbering twenty-nine in all,
escaped in the boats to the land, five
miles distant.
The bark was broken up so badly
that nothing was saved from her, and
as the island was uninhabited and
away out of the paths of shipping,
their position was the reverse of envia-
BILE. Six of the party, after being seven
months in this fix, left in a small boat
to seek help, and have never since been
heard of. Half of those remaining
succumbed before chance brought the
Norma along to rescue the survivors.
On the passage to Yokohama with the
shipwrecked party the skipper of the
Norma died, and when port was
reached Capt. Walker purchased the
vessel.
The record of the adventures of the
Walker family on their desert island
would read as a second edition OF "Rob'
inson Crusoe." The total area of their
domain was not more than a thousand
acres; it contained no tree, no eatable
fruit or vegetable - nothing but
spring of water, a few stunted bushes
and sand. There was at the highest
point a rude hut which United State:
surveyors had at one time erected, and
which, repaired with ropes and wreck
age formed the homestead.
The staple, and in fact, only reliable
article of diet was seabird-the goo
ME-" or seafowl of the Pacific. Thi:
was served in every style known tc
Delmonico and q few more. Once Of
twice turtles sought the shore, and i
may safely be said they were welcome
