When You Speak.

Bishop Brooks of Boston occa-
sionally used to surprise those not
intimately acquainted with him by
sitting silently while conversation
was going on around him briskly.
The bishop explained his rather un-
wOnted taciturnity by relating that
on one occasion while seated in a
railroad train opposite an intelligent
looking man the latter seemed about
TO say something. q beg your par
dom" said the bishop, were you
about to make a remark? 2" mo, y
was the reply ''oh, 1 thought you
looked as if you were going to say
something to me-" answered the
bishop apologetically. "Yes, l am
said to be very deceptive that way.
I used to say things and make re
marks as soon as l thought them. ]
have often thought 1 had something
to say and discovered after 1 had
said it that 1 ought to have kept 81
lent" And the bishop would con-
elude his story by saying Il have
found myself in the same position
more than once, SO L do not speak
until 1 am reasonably sure that
have something TO say"

Craven en Hsr Memory.

She had been a widow a year OF

tombstone for the departed.

man, you want the date of his
death on the shaft-the day of the
month and the year."
WELL" sighed the widow, 81 sup
pose other people may like to read
them, but / don't need such remind
ers. They are indelibly engraved

"What was the date!" asked the

said: Gracious goodness! / can't
remember whether it was Jan. &c
or 81. I'll go home and find out"

Unsatisfactory.

A certain English commodore who
had the misfortune to lose leg in
2 shark encounter was beset wherev-
er he went with questioners eager to
know how, when and where he had
met his loss. He finally invented
an expedient for suppressing his tor
mentors He would promise to an
ewer them one question, but only
one, on the subject The question
invariably was, How did you lose
your leg?" and the invariable an
swer, 1T was bit off" which OF
course left his hearers more curious
than ever.

there is, don't know whether he is
an authority on this or any other
question.

STORY OF AN OCTOPUS.
Advsnturs Wi4h one Of The Terrifying
Marine Monsters.


Here is a true story of an octo-
pus: Two fishermen were plying
their vocation off Great Belle island,
Conception bay, off the NewfouAd-
land coast Suddenly they discoy-
cred at short distance from them
dark, shapeless mass floating on
the surface of the water. Conclud-
ing that it was probably part of the
cargo of some wrecked vessel, they
approached it, anticipating yalu-
able prize, and one of them struck
the object with his boathook. Upon
receiving the shock the dark heap
became suddenly animated, and,
spreading out, disclosed head with
pair of large, prominent, staring
eyes, which seemed to. CLEAN with
intense ferocity, the creature at the
same time exposing to view and
opening its parrotlike beak with an
apparently hostile and malignant
purpose. The men were petrifed
with terror and for a moment so
fascinated by the horrible sight that
they were powerless to make move
to defend themselves.
Before they had time to recover
their presence of mind the monster,
now but few feet from the boat,
suddenly shot out from around its
head several long, fieshy arms, Crap
ping with them for the boat and
seeking to envelop it in their folds.
Only the two longest of these arms
reached the craft and owing to their
length went completely over and be-
yond it. Selling his Ratchet, with a
desperate effort one of the men sue
ceeded in severing these limbs with
single well delivered blow, and the
creature, finding itself worsted, i'm
mediately disappeared beneath the
waters, leaving in the boat its am
putated members as trophy of the
encounter.
One of the arms was unfortu-
nately destroyed before its value
was known, but the other when
brought to st. Johns and examined
by the Rev. NJ. Harvey was found
to measure no less than nineteen
feet. The fisherman who acted as
surgeon declares there must have
been at least six feet more left at
tached to the monsters body. The
story is preserved in the proceedings
of the British Geological society.

WOMEN AS HARD WORKERS.
labor 60 Heavy That the Strongest

labor So Heavy That the Strongest
Become Useless at Thirty.
In Warsaw l once saw a troop of
women going back and forth from a
building In process of construction,
emptying hods of dirt and carrying
In hods of brick or mortar. They
were splendid women physically,
with broad shoulders and hips,
strong limbs and stout ankles, but
they were all young, and when l in
quired why it was the foreman said,
'tThe work does for them in a very
short time, and when they break
down they are no longer of use to
us" AT thirty the women are al
ready old and unfit for further use
fitness to the purchasers of labor,
SO they sit at home like grandmoth-
erss waiting the passing of their
time. Indeed, throughout Poland
and Russia one sees women bearing
burdens which seem far beyond their
strength.
In all the countries of Europe
one sees them engaged in occupa-
tions of the most laborious kind.
There is no more revolving sight
than to see women doing the work
of dumb animals. Here and there
one sees a girl harnessed to a cart
or pushing a heavily loaded wheel
barrow. On the canals and rivers
everywhere women take turns with
men in pushing with heavy poles or
In pulling the long freighted canal
boats. Here they are competing
with navvies on the railroad, and
there serving as hodcarriers. Now
and then one sees them in the coal
pits and about the iron works. In
certain industries there is no limit
to their hours. On the boats, for
instance, they must work both night
and day to get the cargo to market.
In this way women become beasts
of burden and remain so until they
are physically ruined. - Robert
Hunter in Cosmopolitan.

Tea In Russia.

Russians are very careful about
the way their tea is made. They
make it in a porcelain or earthen
teapot and drink it from tumblers
of glass SO annealed that there is
no danger of the hot liquid breaking
them. Their tea is always made Of
water at the first boiling, an impor-
tant matter. The tea brewed in the
teapot is made quite strong, but the
tea glasses are but one-third filed
with this tea and then filed up with
boiling water. This gives delicate,
fine favored cup of tea not strong
enough to have a rank taste.

FINISHED POETRY.
Hard Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy .
Factor In Its Production.

Factor In Its Production.
There are yet some persons left
who fancy that poetry is the prod
uct of fine frenzy; that the poet
genius awakes from sublimated
cataleptic trance to fill page after
page with effortless beatitudes. A
number of manuscript sheets of
Longfellow's Excelsior" which
may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but
give hope to many a discouraged
amateur. As Longfellow first con-
structed the first verse of this poem
it ran:
The shades OF night were falling fast
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth who. as the peasants sung.
Responded In an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might
afford a rhyme for the youths re-
Spouse in an unknown tongue. A
second trial at the verse, however,
not only failed to improve it, but
arranged it in such form that it is
difficult to believe Longfellow guilty
of the fault The last two lines of
the verse were made to read:
youth who bore a pearl of price.
a banner with the strange device.
There are not many even among
the magazine poets of today who
would consent to refer to a banner
as ga pearl of price" But the poet
had by this time three lines to his
liking, and the substitution of ga
youth who bore mid snow and ice"
completed the verse as it has been
read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all
of which goes to show that the gen
ius of the poet is in the conception
and that the production of the
poem, being quite another matter,
lies solely in the direction of patient
labor.
