He Would Know More.

An exceedingly well dressed woman
sat il an elevated railway car the 9TH
err day, and opposite her WAS an elderly
man. The woman got up TO leave the
car, and in til corner of the seat
where she had been sitting the man
spied a piece of black net. Jumping
for it, he called out:
madam, you have left your veil"
AS she took no notice of him he
dashed down the aisle after her, and,
touching her on the elbow again, said:
Madam, YOU have left Your VEIL"
at the same time holding it up in full
view of all
1t was a frowsy, fraycd, torn piece
of black cotton net.
"lt is not mine. sir"' she snapped
out, giving him a whitening look, and
the obliging old man shrank back as
if he had been jabbed with a hatpin,
while the passengers grinned.
"Why was she so mad about it?''
he asked in n dazed way as he laid
the homely little rag ON the window
sill.
81 guess you never paid for a wo-
mans finery." said another man.

ReAfin. the NluScles

When 4 man is tired. he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds and
animals. SO far as possible. follow his
example.
Birds spread their feathers and also
yawn, OF gap". Fowls often DO this
Fish yawn: they open their mouths
slowly until they are round. the bones
of the head seem to loosen. and the
gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers. but seldom sueeZe unless
they have a cold Cats are always
stretching their bodies. legs and claws.
as every one knows who has Il cat for
Il pet.
Horses stretch violcnily when and
after indulging in Il roll. but not. as a
rule. OH all tonrs.
y stag when stretching sticks out his
head. stretches his fore feet out and
hollows his back and neck as though
trying to creep under a bar.
Most rumnant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer
do it regularly; so do cows. This fact
is SO we'll known that if a COW, when
arising from lying down, does not
stretch herself it is Il sign she is i'll.
The reason for this is pl;lin-the
stretch moves every muscle of the
body, and if there be any injury any
where it hurts.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

FiliAl Love.

That's a pathetic story of the Gour-
don fishing boat crew. No class of men
face death more frequently than the
hardy fisher toilers of the sea. and
among none is a genuine heroism more
frequently displayed.
The Gourdon boat was manned by
a father and his four sons. When the
boat sank, three of the latter went
with her. The old man got an oar, and
soon the fourth son appeared by his
side. But the oar could only support
one, and the lad, taking in the situa-
ton ut once, babe his parent farewell
in the Words "Weel, weel, father, l
maun jist AVA" and sank.
Only readers familiar with the north
ern dialect will fully appreciate the
depth Of kindly resignation and true
feeling which the words denote. The
father endured terrible sufferings, but
was ultimately picked up. Greater
love hath no man than this. West

esos 400. 600 mulatos ell
vfnculo poderoso que nos une ell for
midable lazo que ha de impedir la re-
