A Rcm anceo: Cape Tod : Site was a fish
erman’s widow. His smack had gone down
in darkness and tempest, and so had he.—
Morning, noon and night she paced the
beach for some memento of him. She saw
the shining sands stre cii far away. She
watc ed the sea birds come and go. She
heard the legend of the waves, and that
was all. Ami yet it wasn't- One golden
ere, with heaving breast and starling eye
balls, she espied a bottle dancing toward
her on the billows. It came within her
reach, r-he clutched it eagerly, chewed out
the cork, put the muzzle to her mouth,
found not a drop of whisky in it, and drop
ped like a lifeless lump upon the shore.—
And so they found i.er, wjrking the sand
with her toes.

I'urrun’s Ingenuity*
A farmer attending a fair with a
hundred pounds id his pocket, took the
precaution of depositing it ii the hands
of the landlord of the public h' use nt
which he stopped. Having occasi n
r it shortly afterward*, lie res irted to
mine host li r payment. Rut the land
lord. too deep for the count ryuicii, w ti
llered what he ni ant, and was <] ite

A'ter inert'ectu il appeals to the lero

He did so and returned to his legs

ITiiltlrcMi’s Ettrs Slimiltl \eyer
lie iluxetl,
So writes an eminent sirgeonin a late
number of the Popular Science Monthly.
Though the statement w ill doubt .ess he
received by many a juvenile reader in the
light of a “ se f-evident proposition,” there
may yet remain a few parents a id rural
pedagogues to whom the reasons for the
abolition of this form of rebuke may be of
interest. “We have seen,” writes Profes
sor Hinton, “ liai the passage of the ear is
closed liy a thin membrane, espe -ial y
adapted to be iiitluenced by every impiti e
of the air, and with nothing but the air 'o
support it internally. Wlu.t, then, can be
more likely to injure this metnb ane h i., a
sudden and forcible compression of the air
in front of it '? If aiy one designed to break
or overstretch the membrane, lie could
scarce y devise a more effective means than
io bting the hand suddenly and fitrciljj
down upon the passage of tlie e ir, thus
driving tlie air violently before it, with no
possibility for Its escape but bv the mem
brane giving way.” So reasonable ait
these conclusions that there was not needed
even the high authority of the writer f> r
tlie subsequent statement that “ tu riy chil
dren are made deaf by boxes on the ear.’
It is unfortunate, however, that this and
many other rebukes of the same order pre
cede the reason, a id hence a safer geueia!
order might be issued to the intent that no
child should ever receive any form of cor
poral punishment until tlie parent or pre
rep-or has stopped to reason—first with the
chi and, and then with himself.
