who was amusing himself fishing for
sharks brought up from the depths n
long "churchwarden" pipe that evi-
IDENTIFY had been lying at the bottom of
the sea for a hundred years or more
1t was unbroken and had either been
accidentally dropped overheard or
washed out of some Old wreck. The
coral insects had seized upon it an.
covered the long stem with delicate.
lacelike branches and the bowl with
fine "vermiceli' work SO completely
was it concealed with the coral coating
that 1t was impossible to determine
the original material of the pipe. Oddly
enough the inside Of the bowl had
been left untouched and still showed
the stains of fire and nicotine.-New

Good Morning

A CHEEKY ''Good Morning." often
sends ray of sunshine streaming
through the innermost recesses of
a household. resting there the live
long day, and again follows hasten
ing footsteps into the mart of bust
ness lighting up and Frightening
"the way OF the world" as it goes. A
hearty Goodnight" often soothes
many troubled mind to rest. and
heals the wounds which have either
come anew TO struggling soul,
or been re-opened by the harsh
words or deeds that are spoken or
done in season or out of season, at
the daily battle of our life as it pro-
crosses. 'Good morning." with a
heartful wish for blessings in the
tone of it's utterance. cheers the
heart of faint and fearful ones, and
softens many a hard spot that has
place by inheritance or cultivation,
in the breasts of humanity. The
aove light, that beams from the eye
when one is greeted by such words
as Good night" lights many weary
spirits to chamber of rest and to
a land of pleasant dreams.
The home where "Good morning"
and ''Good night" are carefully said
by one another, are the homes Of
the world where good thoughts are
generated, where good deeds have
place and from whence 60 out
good lives.
Then don't forget to say "Good
morning." say it to parents, to
children, brothers. sisters, school
mates, teachers, friends and to all
you meet, and say it cheerfully and
with smile. 1T will do you good
and do your friends good. 1t will
cheer the discouraged, rest the tired
ones, and somehow make the wheel
OF life run more smoothly. A
''Good morning heartily spoken
makes hope fresher and brighter
and seems really to make the morn
ing good, and to be prophecy of
good day to come after it.-Ex.

declared, however, that he would be
content with mutton chop and beer

soon finished It's contents, pronouncing
it to be the best gin he had tasted for
