A story which is almost too good to
be trxe is told of an Englishman who
prided himself upon his ability as an
amateur plumber. He decided to put
gas connections into his house, and do
it himself. lie went to work with a
great flourish, hammered and soldered
and fitted away, and at last came the
hour of final triumph. He called the
family into the parlor, beneath the
great chandelier. He turned the taps,
with taper in hand, and vigorous
showers of water gushed forth oves
them all. He had made the mistake of
connecting with the water pipe instead
of the gas pipes.

Cowardice of Il Large Eagle.

The claim of the eagle to the title OF
king of birds seems to be slightly
clouded by an incident reported from
Stafford county, Va. A gentleman
down there was watching an unusually
fine bald eagle grandly sailing around
iii the air few days ago, when he no
ticed little bee martin rise in the air
and make straight for the eagle. He
wondered what the martins object
could be, and was surprised to see it
sail in boldly to tear the feathers out of
the big eagle. But he was amazed to
see the eagle, after few moments of
effort at beating off the little bird,
sail away in full fight, making every
effort to escape from the martin. The
martin followed up closely for awhile,
making a savage jab at the eagle every
few yards, but was finally left behind
through the superior retreating powers
of the big eagle.

Pretty Picture of Domestic Life by a
Native Writer.
Without knowing why, my heart was
full of such love and confidence toward
her, that l did not seem able to live
without her. While l was still too
young to attend any school, this loving
little lady took such deep interest in
me that she was always ready to play
with me, using all her influence to keep
me away from the band of small ur-
chins whose chief delight was in play
ing war, or wrestling, when they were
not engaged in frog hunting or the
execution of the black cat condemned
without process of law. Whenever
those young samurai QSnights) would
call on me to enlist me in their dark
plots of mischief, the same little lady
used to come in with dainty sweet
meats pictures and toys, and in the
most fascinating way persuade us to
give up such expeditions, and to sit
close around her while she would tell
us stories. o, what blissful days were
those in the old home, and how well l
remember those stories! Old, old tales
of prince Peachling' and the like, yet
so fresh and interesting, especially
when told by this lady of mine! What
was there in them to make US feel
ashamed of killing frogs and persecut-
ing black cats? 1t was surely only the
charm of her exquisite tact which made
us feel as though we were good, big
and strong men-chivalrous defenders
willing to be kind to everyone-Taizo
Shimidza, in Chautauquan.

A Seal That Would Not BE Cast Adrift
A Portland man captured a young

The simple toy illustrated here can

to height of fifty to a hundred feet.
Its construction is simple, but very in
geniops, The general makeup is
shown in Fig, I. A slotted handle re-
ceives pivoted slip of wood. Around
the handle and notched inner end Of
the slip strong rubber band is
sprung. If the slip is drawn. out Of
position, as shown in Fig. /, and re-
leased, the rubber band jerks itviolent-
ly back. On the end of the slip is a
short, sharp pin and a slight cone,
shown in Fig. 2. In use the card is
stuck on the pin point, the pivoted
piece is drawn back, as shown in Fig. l,
and released. It springs forward, car
rying the card with it. AS soon as it is
in line with the handle, or just passes
such position, it's motion is arrested
