whittier's Visitor.

Pilgrims used to visit Whittier con- tinually- A typical one came from Missouri. Though told that Whittier had headache he forced his way in- to the poets study, where he declared that he adored all Whittier's works, which he knew almost by heart. Ills asked Whittier to write his name sev- eral hundred times on large sheet of foolscap, so that he could cut out and distribute the autographs among his Missouri friends. In fact, it was all the poet could do to keep the enthus- iastic Missourian from clipping all the buttons from his coat as souvenirs.
 And all the time"-so Whittier would end the anecdote pathetically- 'all the time he called me Whitetak- er."

 There aren't many nowadays, son. n.y." he said, excepting self-made ones'
 What are they?" persisted Ned.
 'I couldn't name all the varieties to you,' said MT. Morse, but to give general instance, Ned, they are the people who wear heavy hats because they are the fashion, and then suffer from headaches"
 And the people that go without overcoats, Ned, because it is consider ed the thing to do, and then have stiff backs" said Mrs. Morse, sweetly.
 And those that accept office as treasurer of society for tine honor of it, when it takes them an hour to add seventeen and forty-three," said MT. Morse
 The boy looked puzzled, and he was not enlightened when his mother said:
 And those who are growing little deaf, like me, Ned l don't always catch even what your father says"

The Australian stock wb,p.

The stock whip in the skillful handi
 Of the Australian is not only an article of the greatest utility, but also a for midable weapon. Owing to its great length t1e lash varies from twelve to thirty feet-and the shortness of the butt, which measures only eighteen inches, it is an extremely difficult and awkward thing to wield, and the be- ginner is apt to hurt himself if he does not exercise care when practicing. A well trained stockman, however, can hit cent every time at ten paces dis tance and with the dreaded lash in his hand, cracking like pistol shots, can keep a mob of wild animals in check If used with full force it will cut through skin and flesh like a knife, says the Wide World Magazine, but unless a beast shows distinct vice the stockman uses it more for the purpose of instilling fear than of causing pain. It can also be used as a bolas, Pata- gonian form of lasso, and an adept can catch and hold beast by causing he lash to curl around it's legs.
