THE KIND THOUGHT QF A LITTLE GIRL
IN Paris there lived a poor lace maker
with a large family, who, during a
long .winter, had been frequently in
the bitterest state- of misery and was
so feeble that he was compelled to
keep to his* bed. Vainly endeavoring
to rise In order to seek employment, he
fell fainting by the side of his wife,
who was herself dangerously ill. A
girl of 12 or 13 years - watched her
mother and endeavored, affectionately,
to prevent her two younger brothers
from disturbing their parents. On this
child the whole care of the family had
fallen.
To supply their wants, sho ran to a
neighboring bureau of chanty, w.h ere
she had been informed that relief
might be obtained, but the person to
whom she bad applied bid her "call
again in. a few days." Thus repulsed,
the child took the resolution of beg
ging. This, alas! was a fruitless hope.
la, vain she stretched out her little
hands to solicit charity. No one an
swered her humble and modest claim;
some even threatened her with the po
lice. Chilled by cold and by unkind
ness, she sadly took her way home.
On her return her little brothers im
mediately cried; "Broad! sister! give us
bread!" On hearing the screams 6C
the children, she exclaimed: VI will
fetch a loaf from the baker's." and. In
a distracted manner, she /lew to a
neighboring shop, seized a l/>af ami
hastened away. Surrounded instantly
by a crowd, she was deprived of her
prize and given to_the police agents :to
answer for her crime. Looking on the
crowd with a countenance of surprise
and despair, she perceived a child about
her" own age whose sweet and encour
aging smile cast a faint ray of hope
Interesting Little Stories Direct From Nature Written fot The Junior Call
The Ferns
AMONG the most beautiful forms of
plant life are the ferns. The, vari
ety. is very great. Some botanists
estimate the number of different kinds
that have been described at 4,000.
There are about 70 varieties in Cali
fornia and som» of them are of the
nrost beautiful kinds. /\u25a0 .'
The ferns are non flowering plants
and are older in point of time than the
flowering orders. They, having , no
flowers, do not produce seeds -as the
flowering plants do, but are reproduced
by ; spores which grow on the under
side of the leaf. »

on her forlorn mind. She approached
this unknown girl, whose features were
beaming ' with benevolence, and in
whispers . mingled with" sobs . she com
municated her parents', address.
While the. poor, family was in the
agonies of want and despair; a light
step was heard approaching their
chamber. A cry of joy. was uttered. by
the unfortunates- — a girl' appeared at
the door — it was not .their child! . It
was a little, angel, with rosy cheeks
and golden hair and bearing a small
basket of provisions.
"Your daughter is not likely to re
turn* home today," j she said, "perhaps
not tomorrow. Fear not— she is well
be cheerful and eat what she has been
the means of sending to you." She then
placed 10 francs in the hands of the
mother of the family and suddenly dis
appeared.. , .'_*"\u25a0
But how had these 10 francs been ob
tained? By what means had this child
been able' so unexpectedly to serve this
unhappy family?. We shall sec. \u25a0•;.'
Her golden tresses, falling in ring
lets over. her shoulders, had excited the
admiration of the neighbors. One "of
these a hair dresser, had; frequently
paid, when slse was passing his. house,
"I would willingly give a louis .. ($4)
for that beautiful head of -'hair.''. When
this- occasion of doing good presented
itself this 'kind hearted little creature,*
without the means of obtaining-money,
the . man's words, .sought
his 4 house and said: "You have offered
to. buy my hair for a. louis; now I will
"sell 'lt to you. Cut it off quickly. Make
haste, for I am in a great hurry." :The
man, struck with the singularity of the
(circumstance, asked the«*i.particulars,
and being of a kind, humane dispbsi-^
tlon, he feigned to accept the proposed
conditions,' gave her 15 francs, and

ODD NAMES OF THINGS ON BOARD SHIP
ARTHUR H. DUTTON
FUNNY names-are attached to things
on board ship, especially onboard
sailfng ships. Most of these names
are inheritances of long by
gone days of navigation. Some are as
old as ; high sea. navigation itself. As
might have been expected rrom ,the
simple characters of ancient sailors, the
v animal world has 'been largely drawn
upon for nautical nomenclature.
;For example, there is the .Flemish
horse, a; short v ,foot rope at the yard
arms of .sailing ships,' upon which the
sailors stand while reefing the topsails.
Then there are the: lizard,! 'a.'. short rope
used in crossing the light 'yards, such
ns the roj'al and topgallant yards; the
cat and the fish.^the former for hauling
the old fashioned anchor, to the cat
head, a protuberance on the bow, and
the latter. for. hauling the. crown ol the
anchor up to, the ship's side; the jack
ass, a heavy stuffed bag pulled into the
hawse pipes when |at | sea, to keep the
water from rushing inboard when the
ship plunges into the waves.
The name is not only that
of a well known, sea denizen/ but of a
spar, to which; ships are moored, but
the dolphin striker 1 is the -short spar
"extending downward; from the bow
sprit. \u0084'~lron- bars holding- the topmast
rigging into the mast-are called cathar
pins. while a bull, rope Is a line used,
for many purposes, particularly forf
hauling. the light yards into the rigging!
, when ;tliey:^rfe;sent down' on' deck. A
sheepshank is ;a* peculiar j knot, or de
vice, : for -temporarily shortening a rope
without. cutting;it, 'and a Turk's head
is~a.*knot at the end "of a' rope,' resem-?
bling; a. Mohammedan turban. \u0084 '

the deck, and also its bibs, which are
heavy pieces of. wood at the lower

A snorter is a short rope ..at the
light yard arms, which throws off the
lift and brace when the yard is swayed
preparatory to sending down* while a
time-no-guy is a long rope with eyes
in it to keep the after braces clear
of other rigging.
A crow-foot is a collection of three

awning halyards, its form suggesting
the claws of a bird.
A Scotchman, goodness only knows
how the name was derived, is a small
fair-leader fastened to the lower rig
ging to aid in the segregation of the
light running rigging. The forecastle
owes its name to the ancient practice
of surmounting the bows and sterns of
galleons and other great ships of the
past with towering citadels or castles.
The after, \u25a0• or stern, ' castle, is now
termed the poop. : .
Nor is a ship entirely devoid of jew
elry, for it has its jewel block, its dia
mond hitch, and its clew garnets; the
first a very small block, the next a
kind of knot and the last a tackle for
hauling up the clews, or lower cor
ners, of the lower sails, or courses.
There are tlso earrings, which- fasten
the sails to the yard arms.
_In fact, the, entire nautical nomen
clature is odd, and, its evolution might
