and, one thing leading to another, he
years before, while his ship was at the
Azores, his wife, who had been sent
ashore in the morning, attempted to re-
turn about nightfall and just as a squall
was coming up. The boat was upset and
the occupants lost. They found neither
the boat nor the bodies, but there wasn't
the least doubt of the calamity, The
loss of the wife so affected the husband
that he was i'll of brain fever for months,
and he had never read line of her res
cue in midocean There was the hus-
band at last, and Captain Clark realized
that he had rights before him. He had
married the woman on chance, and
chance had gone against him They
We're alone III the office, and perhaps he
thought Of killing the man who had
come to break up his happy home. 1t
was only Il step to tho edge Of the slip,
and perhaps he thought of suicide as
the best way out The climax was a
curious one, but in keeping. The strange
captain, who had given his name as
Burke, was looking at Captain Clark i'll
a puzzled way and wondering why he
should be so affected by the story when
"a yacht anchor swinging from a beam
above his head parted its fastenings and
fell upon him and crushed him to tho
floor and though he did not die for two
or three days he never spoke again.

Locomotives, like human beings, have
their ailments, many of which defy the
skill of those deputed to look after
them, says the Toronto Mail We hear
of tired razors, simple complaint
which yanishes after brief period of
repose, but locomotives are apt to be-
tray indisposition even after days
rest and much oiling of the various
parts.
Two good engines may be made on
the most approved principle. They may
each cost-as those of the London and
Northwestern railway do-e2, 200, and
yet one will exhibit from the first a
hardihood Of constitution altogether
wanting in its companion. A first class
locomotive of 800 horsepower, costing
GO, 900, is expected to travel during its
life 200, 900 miles, or, say, IS, 900 miles
per mnum for 10 years, yet now and
then an engine is found so impervious
to the assaults of time as to be able in
its cid age to do its daily work with all
the 2est and vigor of n youngster

Primitive Method of Getting Rid of the
Troublesome Pests.

communication, has hanging in his barn
an interesting keepsake in the shape of
a fycatcher 1t is not so curious i'll it
self as it is in showing the primitive
methods resorted to by the farmers i'll
early days to rid themselves Of flies 1t
is simply two smooth walnut boards,
perhaps 30 by II inches, beyeled at one
end and fastened together by two whang
cords strung through matched holes.
In the antebellum days people never
thought of keeping flies out of the
house; the problem was to dispose of
them as they swarmed through the
rooms, making life miserable generally.
In fact, the use of netting to prevent
their ingress is of comparatively recent
origin, the invention of this much need
ed article dating back only Is or 20
years.
AS everybody knows, flies are exeep-
tionally thick i'll farmhouses, even
where screens are used and when they
are not they are almost intolerable. In
the olden days the method most COM
monty employed i'll the country to de-
stroy the troublesome fly was the use of
such Instruments as the one described
above. The boards were beveled and
hung in such manner that by their
weight they separated at the bottom,
and thus hung i'll an inverted Y shape.
To attract the flies they We're smeared
with molasses ON the inner surface.
Thus prepared, they were suspended
in convenient places about the house
in kitchen, hallway, porch, which gen
orally served as the summer dining
place, and especially in passageways.
1t was common duty of every member
of the household when passing one of
those catchers to clap the boards togeth-
er, thus MASKING the flies which had
collected thereon Tho cook clappcd
them i'll the kitchen, the hands as they
passed TO and from the house at meal
times did likewise, the whole household
clapped them together hundreds of times
a day, and thousands of pestiferous flies
met their DOOM st Louis Republic

II was in the old school building, just three
floors from the ground,

stove were gathered round.
Yes, II was cold, and no mistake, every stove
in the place was going,
And every one thought it was colder when
some one said it was showing.
well said careless fellow, 1--WE ell to our
lunches will stay,
SO who cares il it SHOWS six feet, like ii did
last winter one day."
"Oh," aid good little boy, 1--WE for ourselves
do not care,
But just think of ell the poor people who have
no warm clothes to wear
you're right" said another fellow, a big,
good-natured lad,
ITO think of ourselves alone" said he, "I
think is very bad.
There's many family, poor, hungry and cold,
out in this storm to-day,
And what propose is TO get up club to help
them along in some way"
"That is good idea, Frank. and it ought to be
pushed along;
II you get up an entertainment I'll volunteer
to sing song"
1t is needless now for me to tell that the entire
plan was success,
And how the boys, with the money earned,
helped many who were in distress.
But, my little feminine friends, please do not
look so concerned,
Because there were girls who helped to get
some OF the money earned.
And now, school children, boys and girls,
when Jack Frost is about,
You get up clubs and try to if you can't
help the poor folks out.

q Ga(e Of Japan.

Here's song, happy song,
That jingleS with a rhyme,
A simple tale that cannot fail
To please you for time.
IT'S all about two little folks
Who lived in queer Japan
A Ty-Foo princess told it me
Behind a tinsel fan.
1t CHANGED that out from Toxic
There rode two little tykes
All dressed in green and yellow clothes
And mounted on their bikes.
Now, as they crossed the land of tea,
The folks from left and right
All left their work and followed them,
To view so strange sight.
From every house and field they passed
Still more took up the pace,
With fluttering fans and flying feet,
In one long breathless race.
So on around the land they sped,
Until at fall of night,
The last of those who ran behind
Came plainly into sight.
So all the people in Japan
In one wide circle met,
And as it seems that no one stopped
They must be running yet.

AZ Poor little Elsie was lying in her bed,
white and feeble. She had been shut in
this room Tor many days now, and with
returning health she longed to leave it
and sec something of the world outside.
When she had gone to bed everything was
dali and fowerless. To-day, propped up
by pillows, she saw beautiful green
branch barring the window, literally
covered with bright pink roses. They
seemed to smile in at her. Soon she had
to lie down again. 1t was getting to be so
monotonous, this lying here with nothing
to do She lay very quietly for few mo-
ments. Then her Aunt Mabel was startled
by cry: 'Ohl oh! Look, Aunt Mabel"
Aunt Mabel rose hnrriedly. What is
it, dear?" she asked. coming to the little
girls side. Il can see nothing but few

Aunt Mabel brought the candy and
Elsie put it on an envelope that was lying
beside her. Not big pieces, but tiny
pieces, smaller than a pinhead. Then
they watched.
