Probably a certain letter, which Lau-

may have had something to do with
it.

GOOD ADVICE.

A swindling firm once advertised
that it would send for the sum of one
dollar receipt which, if followed to
the letter, would keep folks from
growing old. Some credulous persons
ting the required fee, and received the
reply:
eve would advise all such idiots as
you to commit suicide at about the

She disappeared with the bag, and
in a few moments the slim, prepos-
sessing figure of a young man in
tweed knickerbocker suit emerged in
her place from the woods, with a very
blushing face. Gaydon put his hat on
her head, tucking her hair well up in
to the crown.
''Now, get me into this frock,'' he
exclaimed, laughing.
She slipped it over his head, and
knotted the sash about him, and
perch d the hat on his fair head, fas-

She ran in the direction of the inn,
and Laurence, with a chucl<le, gather
ed the skirt of the frock about him
and raced through the woods.
He clambered up the ivy once more
and found his way into the girls
rooms; turned the light low, lay down
on the little white bed and closed his

He became aware presently that j

the door, land that some one was
stealing softly across the floor of the
room. Slightly opening his eyes he
saw Uncle Gustave, with a long mar
row knife in his hand, standing
watching him in the dim light. In an
instant he sprang up and struck the
man full between the eyes.
In all his adventurous career, it is
probable that Gustave Caudell had
never been so surprised as at that mo-

A PLUcKY LITTLE PIGEON.

Manson. Owns md Cherishes One of
the Wonders OF the World.
One day a wonderful bird tapped at
the window Of Mrs. Nansen's home at
Christiania. Instantly the window was
opened and tine wife of the famous
Arctic explorer in another moment COW
cred the little messenger with kisses
and caresses. The carrier pigeon had
been away from the cottage 80 long
months, but it had not forgotten the
way home. It brought a note from
Nansen stating that all was going we'll
with him and his expedition in the
polar regions.
Nansen had fastened a message to a
carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
blizzardy air. . It flew like an arrow
over thousand miles of frozen waste,
and then sped forward over another
thousand miles of ocean and plains and
forests, and one morning entered the
window of the waiting mistress and de-
livered the message which she had been
awaiting so anxiously.
We boast of human pluck, says the
New York Mail and Express, sagacity
and endurance, but this loving little
carrier pigeon, in its homeward flight
after an absence of 80 months, accom-
plished feat so wonderful that we
can only give ourselves up to the amaze
ment and admiration which must over
whelm everyone when the marvellous
story is told. Mrs. Nansen's pigeon is
one OF the wonders Of the world.

METHODS HERE AND ABROAD.
Ways OF Steering Doats I'm England,

ways Oh steering boats In England,
France and Germany.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the world
is both interesting and amusing to the
thoughtful observer, says Casters
magazine. On American ferryboats the
import is we'll known Of the "ting-ting"
or 'jingle-jingle" of the bell by which
the man in the wheelhouse communi-
Gates with his fellow mortal in the en-
gine room. On the Thames, however,
it would be considered practically i'm
possible to convey information in this
manner, and theleaptains of the small
paddle steamers on that stream stand
on the paddle boxes and sing out:
ease 'er!" black '!er!" etc, apparently
to nobody in particular, while these in
teresting remarks are promptly repeat
ed in shrill tones by 4 small boy into a
speaking tube Which communicates
with the lower regions. On the Seine,
in France, this process is simplified
and a large trumpet-shaped mouth
piece flares out in front of the man at
the wheel, and he yells his commands
into this funnel,i the other end of which
is supposed to reach the engineer. The
large steamers on the Rhine, in Ger
many, are controlled, not by the usual
wheel placed in the wheelhousc for
ward, but by very large wheel on q
vertical axis, placed right am!dships
upon an elevated platform or bridge,
and several men pass the handles from
right to left, OF upon occasion trot
round in a circle, and it would doubt
less be considered a serious temptation
of Providence, or at least a re-
Election upon the fatherland, if anyone
were to attempt to construct Rhine
steamer with the ordinary form Of
steering gear. ~"
