 The neighb Of large cities and country towns are pretty much alike after all. If a. girl catches a beau a score or more of Mrs. GFt1u- dys. peeplng from behind closed blinds watch how often he calls. They beEtn to speculate forthwith aa to how long 1t will be ere they make a match Should he cali for a year, or longer, and there's no sign of the engagement being announced, some of the Mrs. .Grundys declare she Is unable to land him.
 If he goes to her home to board. the goesips nod to each ether, declaring it to be the end Of the affair. Seeing her when she's not tIdivated rp and about her work in the morning will disenchant him.

The girl Arnows of the gossip of the neighDorA. but holds her peace. It is only when the Mrs Grundys become too inquiotttye e 1 in prying into her affairs that the gfri dons her wedding ring and laughs arn1sed1y in their faces declaring che l has been a wife nearly twelye months and she did not know it WAS any l hodyes business but her own and her I husbands.

Monsters of the Deep.

That there are terrible monsters IN
the deep there can be no doubt. One
of these is the whale. 1t was only in
1908 that a whale devastated the fish
traps off Port Towsend, Wash. be-
cause the fishermen had captured one
of its young. A whaler recently put
in port in Liverpool with the arm of
an octopus 80 feet long. The arm had
been taken from the mouth OF a whale
he had killed and had stuck in the
huge animals throat. The octopus is
doubtless more fearful animal than
the sea serpent.
