creeping over the bed on which he,

and his wife grabbing the children.
The water in the room was up to their
waists. Mrs. johnson held both the
children, while her husband jumped
through the kitchen window ON the
upper side of the house and then lift
ed them through. The rain was fall
ing in torrents and they sought shell

rapidly and they had to leave, going
to the henhouse, ten feet distant, and
further up the hillside. They re.
manned there until 6 o'clock in the
morning with the water up to their

Among the many international con.
crosses which will be held in Paris
during the exhibition in 1900, will be
one which is to consider the advisa.
bility OF making complete change in
the calendar. 1t is proposed to aban.
don altogether the present astronom.
ical calendar, and to adopt one which
will be framed from a strictly prac.
tieal and commercial point of view.
BY the new institution, the year will
have twelve months of exactly twenty.
eight days each and one of twenty.
nine days, the latter to have thirty
days in leap year. With this system,
the days will come in each year al.
ways on the same date, January the
lst being on a Monday, as also will be
the Sth, 10th, 22d, ana so on. But if
this is to be the same for each year,
the week in which the twenty-ninth
day of the thirteenth month falls will
be obliged to have an extra day with a
new name.

A fish that eats roses as a regular

lives in a small aquarium with miscel-

The way this fish happened to begin

when a small tea rose fell from the
lapel of his coat into the bowl The

and darted for the rose and began eat.

and the fish consumed nearly all the
rose. He thought the matter odd and
daily put rose into the bowl. That

Last winter, when roses were not
plentiful, he neglected this duty, and

About OpenIng letters.

Perhaps it is little bit late to make
the discovery, but l find from time
immemorial We have been directing
all our letters on the wrong side. Tho
direction ought to be on the back IN.
stead of what is now called the front
of the envelope. There would be
much fewer mistakes about opening
letters belonging to others if this were
the case-in fact, it would be we'll
nigh impossible for it to occur. Peo'
pie with a large amount of correspon
dence frequently put all their letters
face downward and then proceed to
snip the envelopes; then they go
through them again and take the let
tsrs out, and sometimes find they have
shipped an envelope belonging to some
one else. All this might be avoided
if We wrote the address on the side the
envelope is fastened. 1t would also
have another advantage, the stamI
would be absolutely Cancelled by being
torn across when the letter was
opened. This would effectually put
an end to the nefarious Vaccinations
of those people who are said to be able
to remove the official obliteration in
order that the stamps may be used
again. do not suppose my sugges
tion will immediately change the uses
of century, but fancy there are moi
a few of my readers who may be in
clined to think that the idea is worth
trying. London Graphic.

The natives of Charleston who re.
side near the beach have frequently
observed that when the tide goes out
those who are at the point of death
expire. A gentleman was asking
whether or not the rising and the fall.
ing of the tide had this effect upon
the dying in places removed from the
seacoast, aud, if so, how far inland the
influence extended. There seems to
be no doubt in the minds OF those who
live on the seacoast that life becomes
extinct, especially in the case of old
persons, when the tide has gone out.
Whether any scientific research has
ever been made on this subject could
not be ascertained. Every one, how
ever, almost without exception, who
was spoken to knew that it was fact,
and the very general impression
seemed to be that it was caused by
some electrical force controlled by the
coming in and going out of the water.

Heart, my henrll so fond TO llnger,

Once with beckoning finger,

=0nce what heavenly bliss was thine,
Once her love, an1 poured like wine;
Come. oh, comel make no delay
Here are those bright looks she gave thee,
Hers alonei
What can lingering save theo2
This sweet touch or that soft toner
Love no fearful claim can make;
Hers to give and hers to take;
Yes, the kisses all her own.
Oh, the wealth that back she closest
Lips divine!
Checks, my only roses;
Eyes that Hesperus outshine!
All her sweetness takes she home;
Back into my bosom como,
Heart, my heart for thou art mine.
Out, alas! / do remember;
Hers thou artl
Given some fond December,
Never from her breast to part.
Bitter, bitter is thy lot,
To be hers that loves thee not,
Mine no longer, breaking heart.
