A Doubie Action Joke.

Dumas fills tells of double-action
joke which he played on Meisscnier,
who was a botanist in his hours Of
leisure. The famous dramatst sent
him a paper containing the dried roe Of
herring, telling him that it was the
seed of a very rare plant. How are
the seeds coming on?" he asked the
great painter the next time he saw him.
"oh, beautifully; have planted them
in IA circle" And he took the astonished
joker to a corner OF the garden where
the heads OF young herrings were just
peeping out.

Nina is not little girl, as you might
suppose by the name, but a snowy white
parrot, who talks from morning till night.
She had been given to Nellie on her
eighth birthday by her uncle. and soon
became great pet with all the household.
One day her little mistress came up be-
side her cage and said: NOW, Nina, I'm
going away far off on journey. Pm 60
ing to be away for fortnight, and wish
you to be good birdie and not say any
naughty words while I'm gone"
s'Never," promptly answered the parrot,
as she cooked her head on one side, as
much as 10 say, ''I'il' never break that
promise"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-07-12

When the fortnight had ended she begged
to be allowed to remain another week.
Her father and mother were obliged to
return home, but they granted NelIie's
wish and went back without her.
Nursie had received letter which told
of the intended return, but no mention
had been made of the fact of Nellie's pro-
longed visit.
Nursey ran quickly to tell Nina the glad
news of the family's homecoming, and
she seemed to understand perfectly well.
for she smoothed her feathers and ceased
her calling for Nellie
At last the evening came. 1t was time
for the folks to arrive. Nina huttered
wildly about when she heard the steps on
the porch.
After waiting patiently for Nellie to
appear she shrieked out: where's Nellie?
Nellie sick? / want Nellie! do, do |
Nelliel'
OF course this made every one feel very
lonesome for the little girl and they all
wished she were there.
week later when Nellie entered the
yard she heard the voice of her pet ringing
gladly out the words, 'sNellie's come.
Nellie's come. How do you do, Nellie 2
How do you dog' and not one of the
family seemed happier to see her back
again than the bird.
l think this was very bright parrot,
don't YOU? r. MAUD MALLORY.

What glorious time the boys and girls
are having this vacation They seem to
be everywhere. No matter in which direc-
tion you travel, up north or away down
south, you're sure 10 meet ever so many
of them.
AS your train rushes along bearing you
on your journey, they shout and wave their
hands from high mountain camps, or raise
their merry voices from deep wooded
canyons.
Swimming, rowing, fishing; tramping
through forests or taking long walks over
mountain trails. Thus these happy,
healthy girls and boys are passing away
the hours of this sweet July time-ftting
themselves for the work ahead!
July IA = the Independence day of
France-celebrated as such because 107
years ago on that date occurred the de-
struction of the Bastile. 1 had hoped
some of you would tell me about it. but
you didn't, so 1 had to tell you.
Still the stories keep coming. On next
Sundays page the best ones will appear
and all of the names will be published be-
cause you have tried and l know have
done your very best.

HONOR BRlGAC
BY REV. JOHN A. cAss.

A certain well-known Boston lawyer sat
at his desk in his Office in Barristers' ball
not long ago, busily engaged in making
out papers for an important real-estate
transfer, when there came a rap at the
door, and on his Invitation to come in a
lad of about II years of age entered and
inquired whether he lad any waste paper
to SELL
He was man who took great interest
in boys, and was fond of asking them ques-
lions in his own shrewd way, to find out
what metal they were made Of
Many a little bootblack and street-gamin

questions and words of counsel, and per-
haps will owe their success in life to the
start he gave them.
He was, besides, man of economical and
methodical habits, who never allowed any
thing to go TO waste or be out of its place.
In answer to the boys question he said,
perhaps So and laying down his pen he
pulled out a huge drawer at his left hand
and showed quite large quantity of
scraps.
The would-be merchant looked at it for
a moment, and then running his hand
down on either side of the drawer ap-
peared to be estimating the probable
weight of the paper.

the lawyer.
Again the boy lifted it. turned his eyes
to the ceiling, as if in calculation, and
j then shook his head as he replied:
mo, sir. 1 will allow you is cents for
the lot"
Agreed" said the lawyer.
And the boy at once began to transfer
the paper from the drawer to his bag.
When he had removed the last piece
from the drawer and had picked up the
last bit from the floor he tied up his bag
and placed it near the door, and then
quietly remarked that he could not pay
for it just then.
WHAT exclaimed the lawyer, not a
little surprised, and perhaps little pro-
voked at such coolness. 'No money to
pay for it And how do you expect to buy
paper without money!"

"Good-day, ma am" was Mina's parting
remark, as she shut one eye.
OF course this made Nellie laugh all the
way down the stairs and through the hall.
Why, even after she had taken her seat in
the waiting cab her mother. and father
were amused by the funny little giggles
and chuckles that came from her rosy lips.
Time passed very slowly with poor Nina
There she had to stay, day after day, shut
up in q cage; LEI out, once in awhile, when
doors and windows were all closed, be-
cause once, shortly after she became the
property of Nellie, she few out of her cage
into the garden. Her heart-broken mis-
tress hunted for her long, long time, and
was just about to give up in despair when
a terrible cry was borne to her ears.
"Nellie-Nellie! Help-belpr'
The little girl ran as fast as she could

there found her great dog Rover mount

o river fair, with your ripping flow,
That lieth afar in a land OF dreams
Where the stainless lilies of morning blow,
And the grace of eternal glory beams;
Thy lifting Groom is the mother song
That bushes an infants wailing cry
o the way is dark and the years are long
From the beautiful river of Rockaby.
The way is dark and the path is step,
And eyes grow dim when the hearts, cold,
While the jaded spirit but longs for sleep
In this wearying, wretehed race for gold.
How fair the glories OF morning seem
When the night is upon US; and would that
Might drift away in sinless dream
On the beautiful river of Rockaby.

The truly gifted engineer always makes
one part of his work fit into another, and
no energy is ever wasted. A wealthy engi-
neer who had set up a very fine place in
the country, where be had carried out
many pet constructive projects, was visited
there by an old friend.
The visitor had so much trouble pushing
open his front gate that he spoke about it
to the proprietor.
"You ought to fix that gate" said the
guest ga man who has everything Just
So should not have a gate that is hard to
open"

don't understand my economy. That
gate communicates with the water-works

through it pumps up four gallons of
