A CHARITY FIB.
The Young Idea Was ito Set the Sem
z1tIve Person Perfectly at Ease
About His Nose.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to it
was resented promptly and with emphasis
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the
moment the visitor entered the room until
he had chance to speak to his mother re-
lates the New York Herald
els it wrong to tell story, mammal" he
asked so that everybody could hear.
"Of course it is, she replied, with proper
degree of horror.
''But isn't it right to tell one just some
times?" he persisted.
Well" she hesitated, possibly if one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
"And why does my little man ask such a
question:" inquired the gentleman very
'coaxingly.
Because" responded the boy, ri wanted
to say your nose wasn't bit red, if some
body else wasn't going to say it pretty soon"
Later when the culprit was going to pun
ishment he asked his mother if she wouldn't
have licked him just the same if he had
told the truth

A Iong-felt want is supplied if Paul Mauchin and Louis Boudreux. two young Frenchmen, have done what they say they have, They say they have de- signed an unsuitable ship. In this ship there are water-tight compartments, as in many vessels now. In addition. there is a system of water-tight and. of course, air-tight iron cylinders or tanks in the hold of the vessel. and firmly attached to it, although not placed close to the hull, which are relied upon to keep the vessel afoat under all circum- stances. The originality of the scheme appears to be chiefly in placing these cylinders. or tanks, so that they are un- likely to be injured by any accident that breaks a hole in the hull.
 How much such a vessel would carry besides its "Hoaters" does not appear, but if there shouldn't be as much room for freight or passengers in it as there is in the modern sinkable vessel per haps that defect could be endured. Now if somebody will find a way to keep seasickness out of the unsuitable ship it will be safe and comfortable to gu down to the sea in her.

 than that If the first crow. In vain he
 pecked at the ball, which bounded away
 at each peck: in vain he jumped upon it. He was clearly losing his temper when a third crow arrived on the scene, and, little knowing what was in store
 for him, gayly tackled the egg, which
 the second crow gave up 10 him in the most self-denying manner. Before he had quite exhausted his energy two more crows arrived and forthwith at tackled the ball The other three crows remained placidly looking on from a neighboring tree. After a time the two newcomers, who had taken alternate pecks at the celluloid sphere. left it in
 disgust and joined the other three birds ! in the tree. The whole five cawed in
 unison, in a manner betraying the most unspeakable disgust.
