HOW TO LIVE.
So should wo live that every hour
May fall as falls the natural flower,
A self-reviving thing of power;
That every thought and every due l
May hold within itself a seed
Of future good and futuro need,
Esteeming sorrow, whose employ
Is to develop, not destroy,
Far I wtter than a barren joy.
?Lord Ihmijlituii,
IN SEARCH OF ROGER HALE
In the mouth ot Juno, 1SS4, the lav
office of Milliken, Frost & Co., situatec
on a noisy thoroughfare of ttie city o
New York, presented its usual aspect
Three heads bent over three desks
while three pen* scratched diligently a
the respective tasks.
Mr. Hiram Milliken emerged from th
private rooms of the firm, paused in th
middle space of the office, twirling th
gold seals which depended over his whit
waistcoat, and looked at the owners o
the heads rumiratingty.
The pens paused, and three pair o
eyes regarded the great man in respectfu
interrogation, for Mr. Milliken, a iawye
of fine reputation, large connection, an<
amnle fortune, was a very great person
age. indeed, in the estimation of hi
clerks. Some communication of import
nncc was about to be made, for th
stranger, who had beeu received an hou
before, was visible 'through the opei
door engaged in earnest conversatin
with Mr. Frost and Mr. Whitney.
"As sure as you are alive something i
up with old Fudge," whispered Harr
Fayall to his comrades of the desk.
Old Fudge was the nickname bestowet
by the facetious youth on his seuior, who
unconscious of the impertinence, con
tinned to scan the group before him.
"Would either of you like to searcl
for a missing man?'' inquired Mr. Milli
ken.
"Ye?, sir," replied Jolin Le^cat
promptly.
"Expenses paid?*' echoed llichan
Marshall, a prudent and dr
young man, whose sundy hair hunj
straight and limp about hi< face, ant
whose thin lips closed like the valves c
certain sea-shells. "
"Expenses paid.and.one'thousanddol
lars. for your trouble, if you find hitn,
continusd'Sfr. Miliken.
... *1 will find him," said John I.eggat
wiping hi? pen and restoring it to tli
rack. "Who is he? Why is he wanted!
The lawyer regarded him with marker
satisfaction. Courage and energy c
purpose were perceptible in the yout
with the Keen, gray eye, handsome fea
tures and curling, black hair. Joh
possessed the true legal passion fo
tracing results to causes. Here was a
opening. One of three. Prudent Kiel

heiress he was wooing at a suburban re
sort, and hesitated between the bird i:

room. The missing ra:>n was an arti;
?Koger I Talc by name. His brothe
hail recently died in his native town i
Central New York, leaving considerabl
property to be divided between two sis
ters and the absent Koger. No settle
ment could be made of sales until th
artist gave his consent, lie had bee
last seen at Nice, but as a corresponden
Mr. Ilale left much to be desired.
"I will lind him," reiterated John Lep
gat. "I shall sail on the next steamer, i
they put me in the coal bunk. I wonde
what Katy will think of it,"' he added
ns he sought the abode of his fiance, o
the very wings of hope.
The search for Roger Hale meant sue!
a start in life as the marriage of thes
young people, otherwise definitely dc
ferred. Katy White lived with he
brother on the fifth floor of an apart
ment building, where tne increasing nea
and the improbability of a country lioli
day had aroused the imagination of th
children. Tommy had made a train o
cars of chairs in one corner, while Moll}'
seated majestically on a table, announce*
she was on board the steamboat, bourn
for Newport, and Bob imagined him;el
to be 011 the Long Branch shore, wit!
the aid of a wooden shovel and a to
pail full of shells.
"I mean to live in the country when
am married," announced Katy, who wa
as sensible as she was pretty, dimplei
and rosy.
"I hate the country," retorted her sis
' ter-in-law, a pale blonde, with a lashio
magazine open 011 her knee.
John Leggat entered, was welcome'
shrilly by the children, and imparte
the news that he was to seek Roge
Ilale. Katy wept and trembled, and be
came sufficiently calm to listen to hi
projects.
' .Make your wedding dress, darling,
he whispered joyfully.
Next day he sailed for Europe.
When JohnLeggat reached Xice.trav
cling from Paris"without stopping, to
learned that Roger Ilale had been in the
brilliant city, but had gone on towar
Italy, sketching the shore. The infoi
raation gleaned was somewhat vagvi
r when analyzed. Everybody knew Roge
Hale, but no one was precise as to date
respecting his movements. The ten
used was that he was generally aroun
somewhere and a very good fellow.
John departed along the shore, i

sinister rumor that cholera had appeare

Piqued, he sought banker, consul, hotels

tab'e d'hote stated that a party of artist
had gone to Titian's country ten day
before, and Roger Hale was of the imiie
bcr. The lady changed counteuanc
slightly when she learned that the Atneri
Bti can had sped alter the atists.
"I am almost sure thar wa* one of th
names," she mused, "or was was i
Smith?"
The artists cheered John. Roger wn
to join them later, and if the lawyer rt
Bp,mained in their midst or hung abou
Venice, Hale was sure to turn up. Th
??? V chief authority recalled, all in sketch
fT ing a flight of steps, that llale had sough
Florence to copy a head of Titian's i
Ritti gallery. John journeyed to Floi
ence, discovered a canvas on which
woman's face was outlined, and learnei
that Roger Halt- had left for Leghori
some weeks before. At Leg

Roger Ifale was a myth?a will-oMhc
wisp.
Leghorn swarmed with life; groups o
girls gathered about the fountains; tin
ir was redolent of hot oil frizzling 01
the domestic altar of supper in narrow
streets. A funeral procession passei
along a quay, the candles of the peni
?^ tents flaring; a black prison-van. guard
ed by royal carbineers, wearing cocker
hats, crept behind the four-in-hand of i
Greek banker. The sun set behind the
tranquil Mediterranean in a fiery disk,
; ' dyeing the waves crimson and gold.
John strolled about the gardens of the
shore, and sought one of the piers. Oc
the right the serrated peaks of the Carrara
mountains sloped to the brink oi
; the Spezian gulf. All about him the
people laughed and talked in a Label of
- tongues. A Sicilian princess, with narSj?
row", Spanish face, enveloped in opalescent
draperies like the sea at sunset,
drank coffee at the next table. A pi.)
quant beauty, clad in maize colored
satin, claimed the homage of a bevy of
cavaliers. One by one little boats,
wreathed with swaying lanterns, became
detached from shore and tlitted over
" the water to cluster about a yacht,
gemmed with lights in au arch of
green tire. A Venetian fete was
, transpiring, with song and revelry.
Suddenly a word, an exclamation, a cry
wrought swift change to the fairy spectacle.
The. beauty held n telegram in
her rigid hand, the princess had started
to her feet?the very waiters paused to
look and listen. The cholera had reached
stricken Spczia. The eyes of adjacent tl
towns turned to the boundary of moun- in
tain in dread ot the awful moment when
the pestilence should wing its noiseless tr
and fatal way onward to strike them as _\]
well. Panic ensued. The lights went

join the fugitives of Spezia at Uisa iu a
tumult of frenzied hnste. The princess r(
journeyed, enthroned on her own lug- C)
gage iu the baggage van, rather than be js
left behind. ^
At this auspicious moment John c
learned that Roirer Ilale was certainlv at fi
Naples. ' * q
' Let him stay there, then." he ciied,
wrathfully. * c
7 I'oger Ilale had an idea. When he I.
1 had an idea he invariably put it into ex- o
f ecution. Was he not his own master? tl
llis visit to Sardinia had been brief, and
i gaining Home by Civita-Veceliia, he was tl

t ; meunaung a return wiieu uit- iu<.-u v..m ued
upon him. A few hours of leisure li
c i dccided him to write to his relatives in s
l* ! America. He bought some postage b
e j stamps at a tobacconist's, which the tl
c | woman wrapped up in a bit ot news- ti
f paper. Outside, iu the shadow of a d
I temple wall, the artist removed the il
f ! paper, and consigned the stamps to his fi
1 j vest pocket. ti
r "They will think I've died of cholera t:
1 i long ago," lie mused, in dutiful allusion c
- I to his anxious sisters. His quick eye ii
s noted a paragraph ou the bit of paper, in c
J which the queen expressed sorrow for
j the misfortunes of Naples, the smiling b
r Partheuope, seated on her incomparable n
* bay. b
1 "I have it!'' cxclaimed Roger Hale.
''The Siren Parthenope was there cast v
s ashore, and Xeapoli3 was the city of v
y Campania, built on the Sinus Carter."
. He took the next train southward. A c
votary at the shrine of beautv, absorbed
> in his art, the elusive ideal of perfection v
now flitted before him on rainbow wings a
toward the Yesuvian gulf. He had done f1
11 nothing. Parthenope should redeem his 0
years of idleness and live on canvas, a
vision of loveliness, combining the
? golden tones of Tatian, with the redundant
coloring of Rubens and.^trfc" c
_ charm of Hans Makart or^ Ca'oanal. He v
y was called color maj fcy his fellow artists. P
? Roger JI ale was a short and stout v
, -Utah", with flowing beard, nose turning
I up at the tip, and a pair of hazel eyes, tl
seeing everything their owner wished to c
;* discern, find further shaded by a felt t!
hat, which had lost all" shape in hard o
usage, now serving as a pillow and
'> again protecting the owner's head from ti
?, sun and rain. lie took his chances as si
they came, and life was as crlorioustohim a
as to Ernest Kenan. Hence the charm c
of the Siren Parthenope, a study of light, v
" warmth, a goddess bathed in a luminous t
k" atmosphere, with shadow of ilex, palm, v
n 1 and orange groves cast athwart hcrdra- v
r peries. and the peaks of Vesuvius and t
II Monte St. Angeio in the background, t
L* The vision intoxicated him os he passed t!
e by the ancient Via Latina through the t
Campagna Felice, and thence onward to I
n Naples. He pressed forward eagerly to t
the goal. Modern competition did not a
dismay, but oh! he must learn if ancient ii
* art had traced on marble and fresco of t

e i choco'j.te in his pocket, and ate it while
11 j studying the figures of a sarcophagus, t!
1 lie would have worked on had the cus- v
todians dropped about him, for the k
" town was already plague strick* t
' en. Artists have wrought thus d
r in sioge and famine. Naples, spent with i:
? fierce summer heat, stung by sudden I
n storms, charged with hail, euervated by v
tropical showers arousing sickly emana- p
k tions from the soul, must keep the festa v
c of the Riedcgrotta, with jingle of tain- v
[ bazza, snapping of castagnettcs, and the a
T j partaking of red peppers, fried in oil, e
1 macaroni, rizza, salad and fruit. IIow t
^ i to live without the red tomato sauce? li
L" How to banish the fig,ripening in luscious i
c j abundance for the good of man, nourish- 1
f i merit, of the Roman athlete? The citv. \
j pouting at municipal authority, had
J ! stretched forth her hand and plucked \
1 the fruit. When Kogtr Hale gained the f
' i town and hastened to the museum, a cry ?
" ; had arisen in the crowded streets, where f
y ! the idler paused, staggered, fell, while a
j his comrades fled. t
Roger Ilale emerged on thoroughfares I
, i rapidly thinning of frequenters, and 8
closing shops, lie had come hither to *
seek a siren, basking on golden sands, e
^ and found the charnel house. The doom 0
of fear was written on all faces. Death f
j met him on every side, wrapped in scanty ^
, rags m the hovel and scaling the palace 1
Mike. Old age shriveled before it ; the 0
( i warm current of the youth was stilled. n
The population surged, like a restless a
1 tide, dazed, frantic, or fleeing before the 9
? thunderbolt falling in their midst, as c
the citizens of Pompeii once fled from 11
the lava torrent. After revelry came repentance.
Roger Ilale decided to return to Rome
by the next trair.. He went out into the f
| sllccls. -v invtcaoivu uviuiuv.u iiiiu j
against a wall; girls, old men, children E
'' swept past with a startled rush of feet v
r" and rags. A boy fell forward on his t
e knees, the old water vender at the cor- }]
!r ner threw up her arms, as if stricken t
:s by an invisible missile. Beyond a crowd of d
? gamblers fell iuto an ecstacy because the t
* lucky numbers had turned up for v
Naples in the lottery. A band of v
11 j youths begged alms of the artist, who ?
? waved them oil and returned to his c
~ hotel. How wretched and somber was t,
^ the scenc. ltain fell heavily, and the v
wind, cold as November, agitated the i
l* ! sea, hurling back noxious vapors at the c
" j town. Neapolitan malice circumvented j
' Uoger Hale. The boys prepared the t
0 crowd for him. ']
c "See! The foreigner comes this way. j
' ile is the wizard, the poisoner, who \
" brought the pest to Naples. He sent- j
^ j ters a powder from his pocket on the c
? | air, in the salt, on our food. He helps L

' The idle listened, the turbulent r
1 paused and scowled. As the artist d

. j More than oncc a complete limpness of ?
demeanor had saved him from serious ?
disaster. Suddenly the butcher snatched t
t up the sausage cake on the l)2nch, brushed v
by the stranger's sleeve, thrust the deli- 0
cacy into his hand, and hissed: "Eat it j

Destructive Termites.
The white ant, or termite, is with good
?ason dreaded by the inhabitants of
auntries where they abound, for there
; no way of protecting houses or furniire
from them, and they can reduce the
lost solid wood to such a condition
lint it will crumble beneath the pressure
f one's hand.
These insects, as we learn from the
elebratcd traveler, Mrs. I.ee, swarm on
lie west coast of Africa from Sierra
,eone to the neighborhood of the cape
f Good Hope, just as in some parts of
liis continent?British Honduras and
'ucatan, for instance?that arc in about
lie same latitude as Sierra Leone.
The most destructive species of termite
ve on trees, where they build immense
perical-sliaped nests among the large
ranches. The natives (of Yucatan) call
tiern kanaz, and cut them down to obxin
the larva; to serve as food for their
oniestic fowl, as they are greedy for
, and it fattens them. The nests are
urmcd of minute particles of wood, held
mother with puius and the saD of cer
o o i
tin plants. They are very porous, yet
xceedingly liartl and water tight. Their
itcrior presents a labyrinth of tunnels
rossing each other in every direction.
t.t a certain season of the year?a little
efore the heavy rains begin?the winged
lales abandon voluntarily, or arc forcily
ejected from the nests. It is then
hat they invade the habitations of man,
liich they destroy by consuming the
rooden portions, irom the foundation
3 the top of the king posts. In the
olony of Belize it is next to impossible
3 defend property from the wood
onus, as they arc called. Edifices may
ppear strong and substantial, while in
ict they are mere shells ready to crumle
at any minute: indeed, it is a inysjry
how they remain standing; for
tiough the paint on cither side yf-tkfi*
alLm^jJie graooth and strong, we can
asily thrust our lingers through the
rail; in like manner a couch may ap
ear solid, but collapse beneath our
eight.

andles or lamps until they alight on the

Thcv come by thousands, covering the
ible, that in a short time is thickly
trewn with their wings. It is a strange
nd interesting sight to see them relieve
ach other of their flying apparatus, for
. hich they will have no further use in
heir occupation for penetrating the
>-ood, and boring in it deep tunnels in
.hich to dwell for the remainder of
heir days. As soon as two alight on
he table, one volunteers to amputate
he useless limbs of his comrade, who in
urn performs on him the same operation,
t is done in a twinkling, one insect puting
its head under a wiug of the other,
nd seizing the limb near the joint with
ts nippers, the wing instantly falls upon
he table, and the other one almost imlediatelv
lies beside it. The patient,
ow unwinged, docs his surgeon the
ime service, and they both busy themelvcs
in relieving hundreds of new
omers, each in turu periorming me
peration oil others.
ICo>v Sap Flows.
The sap of most plants is taken from
he soil by the power of causing osmosis,
>'hich the roots possess. This force is
:nown to be sufficient to raise
he fluid to a height of over two hunirecl
feet unaided, aud give rise to what
5 generally known us '"root pressure."
n the stein the fluid passes through the
esscls or ducts of the pitted cells of
ilants which, like the pine, have few
cssels. These arc all minute tubes, in
diich the sap is supported by capillary
ttraction, so that root-pressure is gen
rally considered to be amply sufficient
o force the current to the top of the
lifrVinct frrio Hnf ita mnfiiin nnwn.nl is
ncineed by the pumping action of the
eaves, from which large quantities of
vater evaporate.
The ducts and pitted cells through
I'hicli the stream ilows are not entirely
illcd with sap, but includc bubbles of
jas with it. As water is withdrawn
rom the uppermost cells by evaportion
the air in them expands to occupy
he additional space, and so exerts less
ressure than the first. This allows
ome of the water lower down to be
orced upward and into them by the
lasticity of the air bubbles in the
ither cells, the adjustment going on
rom above downward?the tendency
icing to equalize the gas pressure
hrough the entire plant. While evaporation
continues this equilibrium is
ever reached: when it stops the balnce
may be aiTected, and the sap remain
uiet, supported by root pressure and
apillavity, unless some disturbing element
is introduced.
The Effects of Lightning Stroke.
At a recent meeting of Berlin "Yerein
ur Innere Medicin," Dr. Liman described
lie changes present in the bodies of two
aen who had been killed by lightning
ihen taking shelter under the trees of
he Theirgarten. In the one subject the J
lair over the left temple was singed, and
he skin from the left car to the shouller-blade
was discolored a brownish-red,
he chest and abdomen being covered
nth red aud white streaks. Heference

cribcd in many cases, and attributed
>ften to impressions of twigs, leaves,
to., and in tills body there was a figure
viiich could be compared to a palm leaf,
?uk which was undoubtedly due to the
ontact of the folds of the shirt. The
>arts thus pressed upon remained white,
he surrounding skin being reddened,
['lie apex of the heart was the scat of au
rregular cavity, which communicated
vith both ventricles; evidently the lighting
stroke had caused a rupture of the
irgan. In the other case the skin and
lair were similarly excoriated and singed.
,nd numerous ecchymoses occurred focicath
the serous layora of the pcricurlium
and pleura; the lungs were much
ongestcd. Here death was evidently
lue to asphyxia. Dr. Liman mentioned,
nd Professor Leyden continued the fact,
hat death by lightning is occasionally

Declinc of TliUffgism.
The natives of India arc clearly processing,
and the knowledge of science

aanv years the authorities have been en;aged
in stamping out Tluiggism, and
lthough there can he little doubt that
he terrible sect still ply iheir vocation

f the organization has long been broken,
t is not, however, altogether defunct,
ud it seems that the remnants of the
arid have called in science to their aid.
l short time since a zemindar of the
"atiala state, coining to Lahore in the
rain, made the acquaintance of two
ravelcrs, who ingratiated themselves in
is favor, and all three put up in the
ultau's seria at Lahore, and prevailed on
lie zemindar to accept some sweetmeats
rom them. On the zemindar eating the

riends had gone, taking with them all

itc, it is satisfactory that the Thugs
ave taken to rendering their victims
smporarily insensible instead of strangng
them outright. The drug used in
lie sweetmeats must be one unknown in
lie English pharmacopeia, for we are
nawarc of any capable of producing intant
and complete insensibility without
pparently bad after effects. The secret,
hen discovered, may prove a valuable

as these would prove a pleasant

the wood and coining upon a flower that
offered a fair jump for your hcrsef?in
other words, was three or four feet across
and teu or twelve feet in circumference.
Well, this was thccxpericncc of
an acquaintance in Sumatra, where some
of the most remarkable creations of the
floral world arc found. This flower was
about all there was to the plant; roots,
stem and everything seemed to have
been sacrificed to make up the enormous
flower, that weighed, he estimated, fifteen
pounds or more."
"The odor must have been of several
horse-power," suggested the listener.
"So it was," was the reply?"so strong,
overpowering, and offensive that it was
impossible to remain within close proximity
of it. The ccntral poition constituted
a cup that held about two quarts
of water, and as this was filled with insects
dead and macerated, it might have
been the cause of the odor. These gigantic
creations of the vegetable world
are comparatively rare; only a few have
been seen, and none brought to Europe.
Scftne of the plant5 that I noticed had t.
remarkable faculty of goiug to sleep,
just about as we would ourselves. One

my attention, as it grew at my dooryard

take you to India to see the plants asleep;

leaves of some are in activity, and at
night they arc not; hence we assume
that they are at rest, or sleeping. Take
as an example the acacia tree, the wood
sorrel, and white c over; compare the
positions of their leaves during night
and day. The wood sorrel resembles
clovcr, each leaf having three heartshaped
lobes connected to the stalk by
a slender stein. Now in the daytime
they are spread out just as are the clover
leaves, but watch them as night comes
on, and you will notice a gradual closing
up. Finally each leaf will be found to
have completely closed and fallen down,
resting on the foot stalk.
"The interesting feature of this is to
notice how at certain times the movc^
ment commences. Thus at about hall
past five the leaves will be seen to sink
or close rapidly, and two hours later are
i entirely shut, opening about the
same time iu the morning. This
can be observed by keeping plants
in pots. In one of his experiments Dar

known as the Blimbling, or scientifically,
Arcrrhoa bilimbi, a distant relative of th<
wood sorrel, is interesting from the fact
that it not only goes to sleep, but actually
appears to have certain movements during
the day time. If you watch it, voi
will notice that ali at once a leaf wil
elevate or depress itself spontaneously,
and when hundreds of the leaves do thi<
at the same time the effect is verj
striking. When first observed it was

approaches all the leaves hang down oi
become depressed. Beside these move
ments at night and morning, many plant;
have motions more or less dependent
upon tlie weather, and many curious dc
vices have been suggested to utilize then
in clocks, barometers, and so on. On
this principle a botanical clock has beer
made, and that it is possible is evideni
from the fact that there is not an houi
in the day but what some piani
blooms; thus the purple convolvului
blooms at 2 a. m. ; the fior de nottc at 2
or 4; the goats' beard at 4; yellow arctic
poppy at 5; the nipplewort at (?; sou
thistle at 7; nolana at 9; red sandwori
at 10; fig marigold at 11; and so on, and
by thus arranging these you surely have
a time-piccc of nature.

a story of a rain tree of South America,
from whose branches even in the dryesl

but within a few years a botanist ha<
discovered such a tree, and now the facl
is well established. The scientific name
of the tree is Pithecolobium Saman.and
it is common in the eastern Peruvian
Andes. In the dryest days, when thi
vegetation about is withered and burnt,
there drips from the leaves or branches r
continuous rain, so that the ground beneath
is kept in a swampy condition all

Bringing Out Alligators.
We went out to a Mississippi swamp
accompanied by several negroes, and as
the colonel had promised two bits to the
first black man who should sight an alligator,
there was a feeling of rivalry
among them. The day was awful hor,
and though alligators were as plenty as
frogs, we beat around for an hour without
getting sijht of one. It was their
hour for sleep. As we finally gathered
on a long spit of sand which projected

The black swam out about thirty feet,

r Kowing a Gondola.
1 A letter from Venice to the Memphis
.1 atlanche has the following: It was the
first evening I was in a gondola, and,
after admiring the skill and ease with
: which the gondolier manipulated his
1 oar, I was struck with the idea of at'
tempting the feat myself. Nothing
looked easier than to imitate that swarthj
f Italian, to stand up on the rear end of
' the gondola, and dip the oar in and out
. of the water.
f "You look tired," 1 said to the gondolier;
"if you like you may rest awhile
' and I will row for you."
Ilad I offered to stand on my head
1 and walk to Milan the man could not
have looked more astonished.
"You, si&nore?" he exclaimed; "why,
1 you couldn't even learn to stand up here
1 under two months."

smile.
1 "Ah, buouo?good siynore. I take
1 you where you have nice swim. Signorc,
' you take clothes off."
| This was consoling advice to a confi'
dent oarsman, not very flattering to my
\ pride, still I thought I might as well
! follow his advice; so he slowly paddled
me over to the lagoons between the cem1
ctery and Muran's. I divested myself of
nil clothing and prepared for a first lesson
in the Venetian style ot gondolier1
ing. As I have said, it looks to be the
easiest thing in the world. The gondo
lier stands at the extreme end of the
long, slim boat, and the oar rests in an
oar lock that stands up from the deck
afoot or eighteen inches. There is nothing
to hold the oar in the lock, but this
I did not notice until I tried it myself.
It stayed there so quietly and pleasantly
as long as the Italian was at the stern
that the idea never entered into my head
but that it belong there and stayed of
its own accord. Woful mistake.
I had scarccly taken position on the
stern of the boat and made my first stroke
when the oar flew out of that lock in a
miraculous manner, that I am to this
minute unable to understand, and I Hew
out of that boat into the water. Then
it was that I thanked the gondolier for
his timely warning and advice. The
knapsack traveler docs not carry with
him a very extensive wardrobe, and had
I fallen into the water with my clothing
| on I would have been in a very bad
plight indeed. As it was, I swam around
awhile, had a good bath, then climbed
into the gondola, and tried it over again,
and with the same result. A third and
fourth attempt proved no more successful,
and finally I came to the conclusion
that gondoliering was not as easy as it
looked, and so dressed myself and
turned the oar over to the proper hands.

"AVhat time shall wc start, Sandy?"
asked my friend.
"In about an hour," replied the fisherman;
"then the tide's in chock."

Iiy the time a broiled sea trout dinner

and, following the fisherman, we went
down to the little cove before his house,
where a heavy boat was jerking at its
moorings, as if anxious to be oil. The
old man had given each of us a rille.
"They ain't pretty guns, that's a
fact," said Sandy, as he trimmed aft
the sail and the boat.borc away, "but
they're shooters, und don't you forget

man, as a strong, loud pull came ovei

drifted from the crest of a wave,
"Steady!" and'the ohhftfta-iet-ttfc"slieel

another bullet into the white target,
"They're hard to kill if you don't fetel

The Ticking of a Clock.
Slight though the ticking of a clock
may be, its sudden cessation has a wonderful
influence upon the inmates of a
room in which the timekeeper is located.
A din realization of something wrong
steals over the senses?a feeling as if
something of value had been lost, or a
friend had gone away perhaps never to
return, or as if some of the children were
sick, until suddenly some one looks tip
and exclaims: "Why, the clock's
stopped!" And immediately the illdefined
forebodings dissipate, the little
shadow of gloom melts away, and as the
winding-up process is completed, and
the cheery ticking recommences, the

3 How Bees Predict tlio Weather.
Ilerr Emmerig, of Lauingen, writes in
1 Die Nutur on German bees as storm
t warners. From numerous observations,
i the writer advances tentatively the
a theorv that, on the aonroach of thunder
s storms, bees, otherwise gentle and harm
less, bccoine excited and exceedingly irritable,
and will at once attack any one,
even their usual attendant, approaching
their hives. A succession of instances
" arc given in which the barometer and
hygrometer foretold a storm, the bees
" remaining quiet, and no storm occurred ;
? or the instruments gave no intimation of
a storm, but the bees for hours before
' were irritable, and the storm came. He
? concludes, therefore, that the conduct
of bees is a trustworthy indication
5 whether a storm is impending over a cer3
tain district or not, and that, whatever
I the appearances, if bees are still, one
: need not fear a stofm.
