A summer visitor in New England
mill town made friends with one or two
If the French Canadians who were en-
ployed as operatives in the mills.
One of these was an elderly widower
whose two youngest children the visitor
had taken to drive with him several
times.
III make a marriage mex week,
ma 'mselle," said the father as she de-
posted the children at their home late
one afternoon. "You see us all go past
your house on the wedding trip
"IndeedP' said the young woman.
"Shall you 60 in the coach?"
"No, we go in hired buggy. My wife
she 60, and I with her, to the bury
ground, same as our people most al
ways" said the man, with evident sur
prise at the lady's ignorance. "Three
buggy more behind us, and we all carry
two, three bouquet to put on my first
wife's grave. Yes'm, it is pretty we'd
ding trip to the bury ground, and re-
spectful.
Three or four days later the summer
visitor was filled with mixed emotions
as he saw the four buggies, laden with
the wedding party clad in gay attire,
pass the house and turn into the little
cemetery. Some minutes later the bug
gies again went by, that time at a
cheerful trot, and she was favored with
an elaborate bow from the bridegroom,
whose face wore a happy and vir.uous

In general the destruction Of wealth
is social as we'll as an individual loss.
The wealth that is used up in riotous
living is diverted from better uses. Ex-
travagance is not necessarily luxury.
The mere transfer of wealth from one
hand to another does not involve de-
struction. Consumption means using
up. When nation spends $3.50, 900 for
a great picture, the wealth is not de-
stroyed; it is simply transferred. When
the jubilee plunger ran through So, $780,
900 in 12 calendar months, the wealth
of the world was diminished only by
the amount of it he and those who
sponged on him put down their throats
and otherwise wantonly destroyed. In
so far as it was simply transferred to
others to whom he paid eXtravagant
prices, it was not destroyed.
To give high prices for articles which
are rare is not necessarily luxury, for
the price and the rare edition or the old
master both remain. 1t is true that ex-
travagance may mean the transfer Of
wealth to those who will not use it
we'll, but it does not usually mean this.
1t generally involves a transfer to the
hands of those who will use it more
wisely. of Ethics.

The presence Of any large quantity
of easily obtainable food is always suffi.
cient to secure the undivided attention
of the shark tribe. When "cutting in"
whales at sea, have often been amazed
at the incredible numbers of these crea-
lures that gather in a short space of
time, attracted by some mysterious
means from heaven only knows what
remote distances. 1t has often occurred
to US, when whaling in the neighbor-
hood of New Zealand, to get a sperm
whale alongside without a sign of a
shark below or bird above. Within
an hour from the time of our securing
the vast mass of flesh to the ship the
whole area within at least an acre has
been alive with seething multitude of
sharks, while from every quarter came
drifting silently an incalculable host of
sea birds, converting the blue surface
of the sea into the semblance of plain
of new fallen snow.
The harpooners and officers from their
lofty position on the cutting stage slew
scores upon scores by simply dropping
their keen edged blubber spades upon
the soft crowns of the struggling fish,

No Prisons Needed.

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks, bolts and bars are
not required. Yet it's history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two thefts.
OF these two cases, one was that of
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done SO to
supply his family, who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do it, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was con-
siderea sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by Ger
man, who stole II sheep But as he was
in comfortable circumstances and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should at
once sell all his property.

NUMBER 1O2.
The Flying Fox.

The flying fox is a very curious in
habitant of the forest near Moreton bay,
in east Australia. 1t lives in flocks and
moves generally toward the dusk of the
evening, and the noise produced by the
heavy Tapping of the SO called wings is
very singular. The focks like quiet
places, where there are large araucarian
pine trees, with an underwood of scrub
and creepers. The foxes hang in vast
numbers from horizontal branches of
the pine trees.
When there is clear space among
the trees, an enormous number Of the
animals may be seen, and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter short bark,
something like the sound made by young
rocks. Often every branch is crowded,
and the young foxes are seen either flap
ping their wings and holding on with
their hind feet and with their heads
downward or snarling and fighting for
places.
Suddenly the whole take to flight
and flap their furry, winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to them.
The creature is not a true fox, and
there is fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called, to
float and turn in the ir.-Philadelphia

A Novel Dinner.

Victor Smith, appointed collector Of
customs at Port Townshend, WASH, by
Secretary Chase, succeeded in inducing
the government to move the custom
house from that point to Port Angeles,
where he maintained himself for time
in a semibarbaric proprietorship. He
once invited the officers Of the revenue
cutter Shubrick to dine at his house,
and the officers arrayed themselves in
full dress and went ashore in state to
wait upon Collector Smith at his man
sion, which was then in an unfinished
condition.
In due course Of time the collector,
assisted by his wife, brought out two
carpenters saw horses, on which was
placed board covered with wrapping
paper. The repast was then set forth.
Smith, taking from his pockets three
big apples, gave one to each of the three
officers, with small forked stick, re-
marking, you'll have to roast your
own apples. ''-Argonaut.

One Of the Kirghiz came into my
tent, and, squatting down, began to play
the kaumuss, three stringed instru-
ment played with the fingers. The
music was monotonous and of a melan-
choly cadence, but it harmonized we'll
with the surroundings and the moods
they inspired. In word, it was typic-
ally Asiatic. I sat and listened to it
with pleasure, giving my imagination
captive to the music, the soft moaning
of the night wind, the gentle crackIe Of
the fire. How many and many a night
did not spend thus during the long
years that followed listening to the
dreamy sounds of that primitive Kir-
ghiz instrument!
How many dark, solitary winter
afternoon did not while away in this
foolish fashionl In course Of time
grew accustomed to the kaumuss and
derived as much pleasure from it as the
Kirghiz did themselves. In fact, grew
fond of it. Its soothing music carried
my mind away into the fairy realms Of
day dreams My thoughts few far away
to my home amid the dark pine woods
of Sweden. Hedin in Through
