THE BEGGAR MAID.
A Modern Fable With Variations and
an Old Moral.
(St. Louis Republic.)

A certain girl whose mamma was a
manoeuvrer found herself on the death
of her paternal relative face to face with
the hard proposition called life without
preserver.
Except for the paltry thousand which
the doctor kindly agreed to let them keep
until it was more convenient TO pay him
the rest. they would have had to take
their places at once in the ranks of the
worlds workers.
The mother. though newly made
widow, was on TO the possibilities of her
role before she had found the most at
tractive angle at which to drape her long
black weed.
which she had leisure to lay her plans,
she outlined the campaign to her daugh-
ter. She recalled the ancient wileS of the
Beggar Maid and King Cophetua. the SCs-
ceptible. The girl at first raised objec-
tons to the cold-blooded suggestions Of
her official chaperOn. but she grew more
reconciled the longer she listened. At last
she surrendered meekly. even hopefully.
She promised TO play her hand the best
she could.
Half the capital was judiciousiy invested
in clothes calculated to make an impress
sion. They were deliciously simple. with
out being too severe. AS the mother ex-
planned. they We're sweetly sad. as befit-
ted half mourners. without being sombre.
The other half of the gold dust they re-
served to pay board.
Instead Of going in the height of the
season to certain smart resort. the two
waited until the summer visitors had hied
themselves homeward. The r,other knew
that this was the season when the most
desirable and elusive bachelors came
there to hunt. The other guests who re-
manned were embarrassing invalids who
had been benefited by the climate
Naturally the crowd drifted together.
The mother explained sadly that she had
postponed coming until il was quiet She
was all alone since her bereavement and
she knew she was selfish to try to keep
her daughter with her. 1t was touch
ing role and she played it for all it's pos
sibilities
Now. the orphan girl shone even in a
crowd but here. all alone with the con-
tingent of invalids. she fairly dazzlsd the
eyes of the millionaire beholders. Indeed.
guarded as she was by the Jealous eyes of
her mother not one thought he took any
risk in noticing her This is one OF the
wiles with which Eve beguiled Adam in
the garden.
When finally all the capital was spent.
except fifty shrinking dollars, the mother
advised her daughter to hurry up. The
next day the place was shaken from CEN
ter to circumference. The only daughter
of her mother and she widow, eloped
with the richest man at the springs. She
came tearfully back to beg her mother.
who had planned the elopemcnt-even
specified the number of tears she should
shed-to forgive her
The whole family lived very comfortably
ever after
This simple story teaches that the mod
ern mamma can catch King Cophetua or
anybody else for her daughter if she goes
after him right

ANIMALS LIKE MUSIC.

The extraordinary musical sensitive
ness of spiders has several times beer
proved. Every one has heard of Pei.
lisson's spider. CONSIDER of the unfor-
tunate prisoner, it persisted because il
listened too closely to the captive
violin. The jailer saw it and crushed

Gretry, the composer. speaks of q

its thread upon his piano as soon as
he played it. When giving recitals al
Brussels. Rubenstein saw large spider
issue from the floor of the platform
and listen to the music. He gave
three concerts at the same hall. and or
each occasion the spider appeared.
Insects in general, though less sensi-
tive to music, do not object to il
Fishes betray little or no interest in
music. Everybody on the other hand
probably knows that music is often
used in order to attract snakes from
their hiding places.
The Indians catch iguanas in that
manner. and there is an experiment
that we can all make to demonstrate
the truth of the matter. If violin or
piano is played whenever there is a
lizard visible the lizard will stop and
the music lasts.
1t is a well-known fact that in those
countries where oxen are used for
labor they take great pleasure in the
singing of their driver. They work
better at the pillow when stirred by
cheerful song. Arabs sing to their
camels during long journeys across the
desert.

TWO WRONGS.

One Right.

Mr.. n resided for some years in one of
the Fiji Islands and came to have great
influence with the natives and especially
with the chief. One morning widow
came to him in great trouble; during the
night the chief had stolen her pig. Would
he try to get ii back for her? She was
quite sure the chief had stolen it, for
she had seen it on his premises.
Mr. y. felt that a great wrong had
been done. and he determined to rectify
it. if he could possibly do so, at once.

woman's story. Mr. y. added:
IF ii is true, you have done a very
shameful thing and ought to send the pig
back at once"

stole mine two nights ago"
What OF that?' replied Mr.. n. 1.-TWO
