Shines.

Of course the man with calfskin shoes who pays for his shines is uniformly pol ished, fore and aft. Tho hurried man, who frescoes his own shoes however, a little before cur timo, is quite apt to have what painters faoctiously term holidays" on tho surface-that is, untouched spots This is particularly apt to be the case at the quarters of the shoe and is really what lawyers would call willful neglect or con tributory negligence on the part of the amateur sinner. Of course tho vamp gets lick and a promise for appearance's sake. This sectional decoration is known
 among soldiers us tho 'dr ass parade shine" and many examples may be seen

cHILDREn,s IDEAS OF DEATH.
The Ingenuity of Some of Our Youngsters
 to Avoid the Inevitable.


 Like the beginning of life, its termina- tion, death, is one of tho recurring puzzles of childhood, writes Professor Gully in Ths Popular Science Monthly. This might be illustrated from almost any autobio- graphical "reminiscences of childhood. Here indeed tho mystery is made the more impressive and recuIrent to consciousness by the element of dfead. A little girl of 8H years asked her mother to put great stone on her head, because she did not want to die. Sho was asked how a stone would prevent it and answered with per feet childish logic, Because shall not grow tall if you put great stone on my head, ,yand people who grow tall get old and then die.
 Death seems to bo thought of by the un sophisticated child as tho body reduced to a motionlcss state, devoid of breath and unable any longer to feel or think. This is tho idea suggested by the sight of dead animals, which but few children, however closely shielded, can escape.
 The first way of cnvisaging death seems to be as temporary state like sleep, which it so closely resembles A little boy of 215 years on hearing from his mother of tho death of a lady friend, at once asked, "Will Mrs P-- still be dead when we
 
 go back to London?"
 Tho knowledge of burial leads the child to think much of tho gruyo. Tho instinc- tive tendency to carry or tho idea of life and sentience with the buried body is H. lustratcd in C--'s fear lest the earth should be put over his eyes The follow ing observation from the Worcester col lection illustrates the same tendency: "A A few days ago H., aged years and months, came to mo and said, Did you know they taken Deacon W to Graf ton? I, Yes H--: Well, s'pose it's. the best thing His folks (meaning his childrcn) 'are buried thcro and they wouldn't know ho was dead if he was buried Eere. !" This rcversion to savage notions of tho dead in speaking of Chris tian deacon has its humorous aspect. It is strange to notice here tho. pcrtinacity of the natural impulse All thoughts of heaven wcro forgotten fn tho absorbing interest in tho fate of the body.

The Rules of Conduct Observed on Board
 a Buceanccr.
 The customs and regulations most com monly observed on board q buccanccr arc worth noting. Every pirate captain doubt less had his own set of rules, but therc are certain traditional articles that seem to have been generally adopted. The cap tain had state cabin, double vote in elections, double sharo of booty. On some vessels it was the captain who decid- cd in what direction to sail, but this and other matters of moment were often settled by vote of the company, the captains vote counting for two.
 Tho officers had share and half or n share and a quarter of the plunder and the sailors one share each. Booty was di- vided with scrupulous care, and maroon ing was the penalty of attempting to de- fraud the general company, if only to tho amount of single goldpiece. Every man had a full vote in every affair of impor- tance.
 Arms were always to be clean and fit for service, and descrtion of tho ship or quarters in battle was punished with death. On ono famous pirates ship man who was crippled in battle received $500 out of tho common stock. and propor- tionate sum was awarded for lesser hurts Another allowed $725 for tho loss of limb, and other captains instituted sort
