81 think I'll get married" said Pene-
1ope to herself. as she sat in quiet
corner on the veranda of the Seaside
hotel.
Penelope was young and pretty No
level-headed person would ever have
thought of making an assertion that,
by any possibility, could be construed
as contradictory TO such PLAUSIBLE
facts. And every man at the hotel
was heels over head in love with her.
After having reached this important
matrimonial decision, she charged
along the piazza. so wrapt in her cogi-
tations that at a sharp turn she
bumped, with considerable violence,
into Tom Hathaway.
"Oh!" she gasped, Il beg your par
don! 7"
You can't have it," interrupted
Tom. There's no reason why |
should give it to you. 1t was delight
full"
- TON Hathaway aren't you aspam-
ed"
Not at ALL" said Tom. Lets play
golf"
"But it's so hot" protested Pene-
dope. Even the caddies are asleep
Never mind" said Tom. Then
well have the links all to ourselves.
Come along"
Tom was on his knees, making her
tee, when it happened. Penelope
stood close by him. Suddenly he
seized her hand.
Penelope, dearest. for a long time
I have wanted to tell you something.
/ want to say" Che fervently kissed
her hand) that I"
"Oh, Toni" screamed Penelope.
Whatever is the matter?'
Tom had jumped to his feet and
was wildly grabbing at his mouth and
choking. He had planted a passion
ate kiss en- wad Of damp sand that,
in his excitement, he had pressed in
-cto her hand.
Hello, what's up?" and Bob Ham
ilton. who had heard Penelope scream,
came running out of the club house.
Il guess Tom has some sand in
his mouth" said Penelope.
Good" said Bob; its good for his
digestion. But how on earth"
He stopped short Neither of his
listeners was in a condition to utter
an ineligible answer. Tom made
break for the pump, and Penelope
was sitting on the ground, sobblng
with laughter.
What in heavens name is the mat
ter with Tom?" asked Bob, after she
had in a measure recovered her com
posture.
HE just had an accident" she re-
piled.
ooh, all right" said Bob. "If you
don't want to tell, l don't want to
Know. Let's take walk"
They promenaded lazily until they
! came upon a secluded bench. rhey
y sat and chatted, and his arm crept TO-
ward her waist. much to the conster
nation of an old gardener, who unob
served behind them was sprinkling the
lawn with 9 hose.

Death of the Sun.

Among the Ojibway Indians. who
once occupied the lands about the
great lakes in Canada, the sun, moon
and stars were all objects of worship;
for the redman was, i'll his own way
a decidedly religious person. AT dawn
the old chief and warriors chanted
the praises OF the sun, and at night
fail they thanked him for the light
and heat with which he had supplied
them during the day. An eclipse OF
the sun filled them with dismay; that
event was looked on as his death,
and they were then very anxious
about his safety. They used to fasten
bits of live coal to the points of their
arrows and shoot them UP into the air
in order that the expiring sun might
be relighted. AS for the moon, it was
equally precious; they reckoned their
months by it. Their children were
forbidden to point at it with their
finger lest it should be bitten OFF.

How do you do, Countess? Mrs

At Rest.

Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ.
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters JOY.
The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear,
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell. but felt no fear.
Tranquil amidst alarms,
1t found him on the field.
A veteran slumb'ring on his arms
Beneath his red-cross shield.
His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent night:
Ready that moment at command,
Through rock and steel 10 smite.
At midnight came the cry,
ITO meet thy God prepare.
He woke. and caught his Captains eye,
Then, strong in faith and prayer,
His spirit with bound
Burst it's encumbering clay:
His tent, at sunrise, on the ground,
A darkened ruin lay.
The pains of death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease,
And LIES long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, we'll done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Saviours joy

How to Make a Dolls House.

To furnish q dolls house collect as
many corks and bungs as you can get
a few ounces of colored beads all one
size, with two or three dozen big
ones, a packet of pins. and you have
ali you want except small skein Of
wool. Slice up the corks crosswise
to make the seats of the chairs and
the table tops The bungs will do for
the sofa seats. Slip half a dozen Of
the beads on a pin, putting a big ore
on first of all. and dig the points into
the slices of cork To make the chair
legs The chair and sofa backs are
made with plain pins and the wool
laoes across them from side to side.

grand the cork NAV be painted with
enamel or gilded.

Get a thing stick, about three feet
long. Hold it before you with both

to pass the stick beneath your feet
without letting go of it with either

you will probably strike your ankles

Boxing the Ears.

There are several things very
commonly done which are ex
tremely injurious to the ear and
ought to be carefully avoided.
One of these is, the practice of
boxing children's ears. The pas
sage OF the ear is closed by a thin
membrane: especially adapted to
be Influenced by every impulse
OF the air, and with nothing but
the air to support it internally.
What, then, can he more likely
to injure this membrane than a
sudden and toreible compression
OF the air in front of it? IT any
one designed to break or over
stretch the membrane, q more eff
icient means could hardly be de
vlsed than to bring the hand sud
denly and torcibly down upon
the passage OF the ear, thus driv
ing the air violently before it,
with no possibility OF its escape
without the membrane giving
way. Medical authorities assert
that many children are made
deaf by boxing on the ears.-Ex.
