were presently drawn along till we
were near amidships, where, indeed. we
might make shift to scramble up. This
we did, first tying on our backs such
articles of value as we cared to pre-

The FEMININE OBSERVER.

Happiness generally comes to call
when we are out.
The days and the frocks are growing
longer.
Some persons consider dignity and
rudeness synonymous.
The company and promises that a
woman keeps are her credentials.
Many man is bear at home, who is
a lamb on the stock market.
Doctrine and doctoring sound much
alike save to the ears of the faith Gu
rAts.
A woman Is either foolish or philo-
sophical who reminds people that she
is enjoying another birthday.
The articles that we keep in hopes
that they will come in good some time
generally go out bad some time.

The wise bachelor who is called upon
to compliment the new heir of his

popular by declaring with emphasis:
"Well, that is a baby" There is no
gainsaying that. 1t isn't bit compro-

REFLECTIONS OF EN- OLD MAID

The lovers who enjoy reading the
same books together win be happy in
heir married life.
A lifetime of carefully studied defer
snce can be killed in a moment by a
single ironic CLEAN of the eye.
In spring the housewife remembers
that hope rhymes with soap and suds
with buds.
The poems not good enough to leap
into fame are generally bad enough to
leap into flame.
To be remembered by woman, it is
only necessary to tell her something
nice about herself that she knows al
ready, but fancies that nobody else has
found out.
What young man likes is to look
into a pretty face and make remarks
that cause it to part its red lips and
show its white teeth. What an old man
likes is to look into pretty face and

broadside swung around, came drift
ing down upon us.
A man in dark attire, with trumpet
in his hand, climbed few feet up the
main rigging.
"Now we shall know what nation she
is" said Capt. Sellinger; "but from
that steeple of poop and the poor
awkward ordering of those yards she
should be Spanish"
So, indeed, it seemed to prove. The
man presently hailed, and the speech
was Spanish.
Raft ahoy!"
BOARD the ship!" beloved back

scarce any Spanish. Do you finish the

He addressed me, and / sprang up
and stood in his room. The ship had
rapidly drifted down and was already
within q hundred or hundred and

shouted: ''If you would board us, take
to your oars. Be speedy, or you will

HIGH LIGHTS.

Even people who can't hold their
tongues know when other people
ought to.
When the doctor tells woman to diet
she eats less at the table and more in
the pantry.
The woman who has her first spec
tacles always believes she wears them
just to rest her eyes.
A man never knows what he can do
until he tries, and then he wishes he
had done something else.
When woman wishes to do some
thing real out and out reckless and ex-
travagant she dreams of going to Eu-

Wise Hen.

A duck which had faithfully stuck to bust
ness during the summer and laid several
dozens of large fawn-colored eggs com
planned that she wasn't appreciated. "See
that hen over there" said the duck, "she
hasn't laid as many eggs as l have, nor as
big, but she has books written about her and
verses composed in her honor, while nobody
is saying a word about me" 'The trouble
with you is" said wise rooster that was
standing near, that you don't tell the pub
lie what you have done. You lay an egg and
wadde off without saying word, but that
sister of mine never lays one without letting
everybody in the neighborhood know it

Electric Bell. Rung by the sun.

Prof. Torvald Kohl, of the Odder OBJ
servatory, Denmark, reports that when
the huge sunspot of September last was
crossing the solar meridian, magnifi
cent auroral lights flashed across the
heavens, and the electric bells in the
great telegraph station at Frederick
rang without any visible cause. The
telegraphic service in Denmark was dis
turbed for hours during the auroral dis
play. Prof. Kohl thinks that the agen-
cy of the sun in producing the phe-
nomena was evident. Similar exhibi.
