ne might pass as he went along.
The bank between, the road and river
was very steep, and the river made
an abrupt turn. When Joe reached
this place he found that he was not
drifting with the rapid current, but
was being swept toward a clump OF
trees that usually stood on the bank
of the river, but which now had a
wide stream flowing on the other side
Of them. Joe knew that If the boat
should be swept against these trees
it would soon fill with water and be
swamped, but he was helpless to
avert it, and hoped to be able to
grasp one of the trees and climb to a
safe height when the boat sank.
Fred was already on the bank look
ing anxiously up the stream when
Joe and the boat began to drift to-
ward the trees. He saw the danger,
and, taking a heavy piece of wood
which was lying near, he tied 1t to the
end of the rope, and was ready to
throw 1t when the boat struck the
trees. Joe had not seen his brother,
but Fred called to him to catch the
rope when he threw it.
The first time he threw the rope 1t
missed the boat, but he rapidly
hauled 1t in and tried again. This
time he threw it a little above the
boat, and as the piece Of wood to
which 1t was fastened came floating
past Joe he caught it, and as quickly
as possible fastened the rope to the
boat. Then taking IN oar he pushed
the boat gently away from the trees,
against which it had lodged, and
Fred hauled it toward the shore.
The bank was quite steep here, but
Fred wrapped the rope around the
body of a tree and let the other end
down for Joe to hold on to while he
helped him up. Joe's clothes were
literally soaked, but before going
home they hauled the heavy boat
down stream to a more sheltered
place, where there was not so much
danger of it's being smashed by logs
running into it; then they started for
home, both riding on one horse.
They had not gone far when they
saw their father and mother coming
to meet them; and they were very
thankful parents who saw the two
boys coming along together. The
story was soon told and they all went
gladly home.
The high water subsidized after a
while, and in about a week the boys
went down the river to the place
where they had tied the boat on that
eventful day and took 1t back to its
old place.
For a long time the boys mother
never liked to have them go to the
river, and insisted on having the
boat sold. The boys were busy at
this time, and did not go to the river
for a long time, and when they went
back the boat was gone. The chain
by which it had been fastened was
broken and it was never heard of.
TIE boys missed the boat very much,
and planned in many ways to get an
other.
The next spring, when the weather
was fine. their father went to town
one day and brought home a new boat
in the wagon. Their mother insisted
that one boy must not go out by him
self in the boat, to which the broth
ers readily agreed. The new boat
was tied up at the old landing place,
and when the boys are not needed for
work they spend many hours rowing
along the river, going many miles in
each direction.-Young Peoples Pa

Rose That Changes Color.

The changing rose is a plant to the
cultivation of which the Japanese de-
vote much attention. 1t produces a
tiny but beautifully formed flower.
On being taken suddenly out Of a
dark place into a sunny room 1t slow
ly assumes a pale pink hue, which
gradually grows in intensity until. 1t
becomes of the deepest red shade.
The color vanishes again at night or
when the rose is replaced in a dark
room. 49,.

Quantity Shaped Headgeal.

In a recent article by an eminent
painter on the subject of dress, n
CHANGED upon the following sentence:
"The longing in the male breast for
self-expressive color recurs with the
spring; it blossoms out in shirts OF
tender hue, half hidden beneath
an outward conformity in clothes en-
forced by the habits Of our time"
which set one wondering what effect
was produced by the same longing IN
the female breast. 1t usually X
the form of the purchase of a new
spring hat! Fortunately for US, u
means of self = expressions through
color are infinitely wide and varied,
and never have they been more so
than at the present moment. 1t seems
quite certain that a great many
quaint bonnet shapes will be worn
during the ensuing months. Some
of these are decidedly pretty, and the
fashion Is one which opens up great
possibilities for the exercise of taste.
For instance, the bonnet may merely
be an flower trimmed straw with rib
bon streamers, or it may be a much
more elaborate affair fashioned In
some soft fabric, gathered and pleated
to suit the face of the wearer. Rib
bon is sure to be freely used as a
trimming, and the style has every in
dication Of being far more becoming
than the enormous beehive hats, for
instance, which are bizarre, but
scarcely beautiful, overpowering but
seldom pleasing. A number Of these,
however, were seer the other day at
a private view. They are tremen-
dously high in the crown, and reach
almost down to the eyes of the wear

Wilds Of California.

While the great explorers of the
age are going forth to discover what
the Arctic regions, the Himalaya
heights, the Arabian deserts and the
mysterious depths OF Tibet have so
far kept from the eyes Of civilized
man, it may be interesting to Califor-
mans to know that here in their own
State there are tracts that are still
as wide as any Of those in Africa o.
Asia and about which comparatively
little is Notwithstanding Union.

Women Wore Masks.

In the seventeenth century Mvmen
wore masks in public. Women who
had "corallin" lips preferred short
masks. , For others who wished to
cover the lower part of the face the
mask was made complete, with a chin
piece Of linen. In 1892 a new mask
called the mimi, from the, Italian
mimics, became the rage among the
progressive court beauties. 1t was
the. cause of many violent quarrels
between the danes who contended for
the old masks and those who were for
novelty. A few years later it became
a fashion to trim the upper part of the
mask with a rouche of lace, to length
en- it with a beard of the same mate
rial, with lace to the borders Of the
