little Things.
A Rood-by kiss is a little thing,
With your hand on the door to go,
But It take* the venom oat of the sting
Of a thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rar*
After the toil of the day, v.
And it smooths the furrows ploughed by
care,
Tho line* on your forehead you once called
fair,
In (he years that have flown away.
’Ttsa little thing to say “You are kind,
I love you, my dear,” each night,
But it sends a thrill through the heart, I
find;
For love Is tender as love is blind,
As we climb life’s rugged height.
.. #
We starve esch other for love’s carets,
Wc take, but we do not give;
it seems so easy some souls to bless,
But wc dole the love grudlngly, less and
less,
Till ’tin bitter and hard to live.
Betrothed by the Dawn.
Mr. D’Herble awoke at the very
hour lie had intended. The gray light
of dawn fell on tho flowers of liis bed¬
room curtains.
lie opened the window and looked
out on the dim landscape still asleep.
The trees and fields of a dull green
color moiled away into the fur and
misty horizon without exhibiting a
Rign of life or motion.
In tho east glimmered a faint indi¬
cation of pink light.
Mr. D’Herble remembered his love
aud his morjiing appointment. In tivo
minutes be hud dressed and descended
the stairs into the garden, where his
big greyhound greeted him with a
bark of delight, .accompanied by fran¬
tic leaps of joy and pleasure.
“Be quiet, Tiger I”
Then, in vain trying to repress the
animal, bo added,
“Come along, then.”
The greyhound started off quick as
nn arrow through a half open door,
and liis master smiled as he watched
him. Ho saw him bounding along
over tho vineyards bv a path of which
lie knew every inch, it was a path
they took together every day and it
led to tho last cottage of the little
hajnlot, to the house of Mr. and Mrs
Simons, wealthy New 'Yd'rkors, and
their daughter, Miss Ethel.
“I wonder if she is,.«wako yet,”
thought Mr. D'JIerblp v ,“Ha* she
not made a bet with mo? Can it really
be true that we are going together to
watch the sun riso from (ho top of the
tower of Alaspret? r
For the past three months lie had
been Hil ling witli Miss Ethel!
It began at Paris and bad been con¬
tinued here in the country, where lie
had boon clover enough to induce the
Simonses to eomo aud spend the sum¬
mer.
Ho hopbd that he would have fewer
rivals hero.
For lie already felt the pangs of
jonlousy, was madly in love with tho
young American, and with all his
heart ho wished to make her liis wife.
He had no fear that be would be a
pleasing son-in-law to tho old people,
lie was rich, of good family, and pos¬
sessed many fine qualities. ..
The question was, will she consent?
There was so much coquetry in tier
playful-ways; so much reserve, too,
in her sudden moods of <jp!d silence
that ho hardly knew what to think.
Sometimes with her musical laugh¬
ter, her arch and toft glances, she
made him conscious of a feeling of
nearness ami familiarity that was
as suddenly dispelled by a frigid
goodby that instantly brought him
back again to his position utterly dis-
concorted.
Only yesterday, pointing to (he
tower of Alaspret which from a lofty
cliff coimnano* a view over the whole
country of Caux for 10 miles round,
she had said to iiieA!' *
“is it true, as tlio legend says, tlm 1
the girls of the village follow tlie cus¬
tom of climbing alone with the men
to whom they arc engaged to see the
sun riso from that tower?”
Aud he had answered:
“It is indeed a superstition (hat be¬
longs to this part. A betrothed couple
never fail to observo it. They believe
that if tiie sun risc%*bebind clouds and
is invisible the marriage will be an
unhappy one; but if it rises bright
and unclouded n ’is a sign that their
future is to be bright amt happy.”
Aud with iaughier in her voice she
had said: . . .
“Ohl but (lien the sun must have
spoiled many a marriage by not show¬
ing himself 1 ”
“Such a thing lias been known,” he
answered, “ though very rarely. In
niue cases out of' icn the love of the
betrothed proceeds unchanged as be¬
fore. If the omen is unfavorable they
arc incredulous .and set it at defiance;
and they ouly<aecept it if. favorable, to
their love.” e * }" ' ir 7,

“Do you think so, really ? Jf so,
I shall go.” -

She looked him straight in the face
with,* proud glance that was in-
describable.
••Yon may do »o, if you wish.*
He was now on his way to the ap¬
pointed mooting place. A peculiar
rendezvous, perhaps, but not auy
inoro so than (he monumts of soliUido
which they had spout together on the
water or on the verandah of the cot-
tage.
The Simonses had perfect confidence
in their daughter. 8 I 10 followed her
own sweet will! None the less the
thought parsed through Mr. D’Horble’s
brain that sho had fooled him.
“It by any chance she is awako and
up, perhaps concealed behind the
blinds of her bedroom window, how
she will laugh to sec mo waiting here
patient and disappointed. 1 shall look
ridiculous! Alt! if only sho were not
quiio so lovely.”
But at this moment a new impulso
of hope made his heart beat. He had
just scon Tiger before tho ruOing of
the cottage. The dog’s lean body was
trembling with the joy a dog shows
when lie hears a friend approaching.
Almost at I lie saino minute Miss Ethel
mado tier appearance. Her golden
hair fell in waving longtbs from, under
her little straw lint. She wore a pink
dress; her tiny feet were cased in yel¬
low leather shoes, her hands in pretty
brown gloves.
“Good morning,” site said.
This was uttered in a tone so dry
and frigid that the gushing thanks
Mr. D'Herblo had prepared stuck
iu his throat and refused to come
out.
In silence they botli onto red the litllo
path that led through the woods to the
tower.
An odor of damp earth rose from
the leaves and grasses. Ail was
wrapped in profound silence. Not a
sound stirred tho air. There wa* an im¬
pression of loneliness and solitude.
The strangeness of the hour and the
placo aud the unusual earlinots of
their rising hour, combined with their
impressions to produce in the young
couple a certain feeling of melancholy
not without its charm.
They wore also aware of a feeling
of awkwardness between them, which
their modesty rather mado them
shrink from. Each at his and her own
audacity.
However, they had gone too far to
•urn back, aud feeling tiie charm of
ail adventure which brought them thus
together, they kept most of their
thoughts for tiie sunrise. Moreover,
as tho hour approached they felt a
presentiment that the oracle really
was about to decide their engagement.
They soon left the pine treos behind
them and entered groves, first of bircli
and then of beech trees. Blue heath¬
er flowers grew upou a carpet of moss
and the pointed needles of resin
glistened in the dim light.
Hocks lay about on all sides in
crumbling boapg, and the little moun¬
tain path wound in aud out up the
steep sides of the slope on wiiose sum¬
mit, though invisible as yet, tho lower
stood.
Suddenly & turn of the path brought
it into sight, rising up straight aud
strong, its battlements and gray walls
outlined aguiust (be dull gray of the
sky.
in the midst of a pile of ruins
coverod with lichens aud bristling
witli tall wild grasses stood (be last
vestige of tho old feudal days of the
Chateau d’Alnsprct.
Miss E.iicl, slightly out of breath
aftor her climb, stood looking toward
the east, where the first lights of tho
dawn played over a purple sky and the
clouds seemed like Hakes of floating
pink.
'' “Aro we in time?" she asked.
Mr. D’Herble bent his head thought¬
fully.
■ “There are a great many clouds,”
he sighed. “1 am afraid the sun will
hidden.”
“Ah, she said, and no ono could
have told whether sho said it iu a tone
of regret or of hope.
A hare started at their feet among
the dew. Tiger, who was describing
wide circles round them at a gallop,
saw tho little animal and at onco gave
chase.
This diversion amused Miss Ethel,
especially when she saw the grey¬
hound return looking sheepish at not
catching his prey, which had speedily
been lost iu the mists.
They advanced togetlior a few steps.
They found tliomsolvcs hesitating al¬
most in front of die central keep,
which led into the dark shadows of
the winding staircase. She cast a shy
glance at her knight.
“Do you really want to climb up
there? I think we can see quite well
ouough from here.” He turned upon
hor a reproachful look that was both
anxious aud penetrating,
“Are you afraid, Miss Ethel? That
is not right.”
liis remark stung her pride. She
began bravely to climb the dark stair¬
case. D’Herble fo-lowed her.
They climbed up, and for a long
lune in semi-darkness, only exchang¬
ing (lie most trivial remarks, and then
suddenly, the full daylight nearly
dazzled them.
They passed out on to a little plat¬
form, and Miss Ethel, flushed with her
exertion, uttered a cry of delight at
the expnnse of country before her.
A tremendous circle of hills, valleys
and woods surrounded them.
That triangular mirror of glittering
racial far below them it the ocean tee a
through (he long villa of a valley.
Tho foreits of Alaspret, from the
foot of the tower to tho horizon,
.,„ead onus wide expanse of softly
rounded lull*, which melted Into (lie
distance in blue liazo. The eouutry
rerniuded ono of a carpet (hat liad
been pieced together. Those golden
•pots, here and there, are the corn
fields, those gray (tone* are villages—
one can seo the face of tho church
tower clocks like so many wbUo
point*. A stream between willow-
clnd banks flows down there in tho
distance—a strip of silver lace,
hemmed with gold. From all sides
rises the moisture from tiie earth iu
gray masses of vapor. It swathed the
lower of tho keep in an ever-moving
stream like a continent submerged in
a sea of mist.
Tho cast grew rosior. The clouds
wore ablaze with purple colors.
They looked as if they were lighted
with gigantic embers of some glow¬
ing forge.
The silence fended to increase that
feeling of mystery and thoughtful
spirit of religious poolry which comes
wiiii the dawn and spreads over tho
carlli.
, ‘Ali!”said the two voices together.
Tiio sun had just shot his first gleam
through a break in the clouds. They
dispersed and tied away so rap'dly it
looked as if n giant broom was speop-
ing space. Thou the great disk of the
sun in his glory rose iu tiie midst of
tiie rose-colored tky.
“Ethel,’’ sighed Mr. D’Herble. lie
saw her shining witli a beautiful
splendor, bathed in the living rays of
of tiie sun.
She seemed to him the central
beauty of tho landscape vibrating with
life and light. Her haughty loveliness
was 8 oflcned with a tender grace,
and tears were glistening in her pure
eyes.
“Look,” lie said, “the sky is clear.”
And, indeed, not a cloud was to be
seen. The air was ablaze with light;
the sun was slowly vising in the sky.
The sea of mist that surrounded the
tower could bo seon melting away and
evaporating. Aud the circle iu which
they two stood seemed to absorb the
colors and lights with all the rich
splendors of the woods, the cornfiolds
and tiie meadows,
A fresh and laughing youth was
abroad on the earth aud in the soft
toucli of the wandering breeze.
Scarcely perceptible mists roso from
the roofs of the cottages below. Then
the Augelus sounded out; others an¬
swered back, faint and sweet, like the
song of tho larks. Tho birds were
beginning to wake; life was active on
all sides!
Then in the warm glow of light
which seem to fold them iu a circle of
gold, Miss Ethel Simons placed her
firm little band iu that of Mr. D'Her¬
bie. lie drew closer to her, and'Bbe
made no resistance while these two,
betrothed on tho tower by the dawn
iu face of the sun and the world, ex¬
changed the solemn vows of etornal
love and registered it with a first kiss.

A Man Strangles a Bear.
Fred Schofield went up to Hunting-
ton lhe other day to visit his sou, who
is station agent there. He brought
back wish him a piece of bear meat,
evidently oil a year-old bruin. The
animal from which tho meat was cut
was a tino looking beast and the meat
indicates that it was iu a healthy and
lusty condition, which makes all the
more strange (he fact that it wa» killed
by an unarmed man. He came upon
the bear unexpectedly and had no time
to tako out even his pocket knife be¬
fore engnging it In conflict. He suc¬
ceeded in grasping it by tho throat
ami hold it firmly, while it tore his
clolhos tA shreads aud ripped bits of
skin and flesh oil here and (here with
his powerful claws. He saw that his
only liopo for his life was to choke tho
bear to death, so that the more it
struggled the tighter lie held on, until
it finally succumbed. When the man
rose from the contest lie was a pitiful
looking sight indeed, his clothes being
torn to shrouds, aud Hie marks of (he
cruel claws being visible on more than
one part of liis body. After recover¬
ing himself lie took out his pocket-
knife and bled tiie carcass so that the
meat might be in good condition.—

Sheep as Beasts of Barden.
Sheep are not commonly regarded
as beasts of burden, but iu a large
part of Northwest India, thousands
of sheep carry for many miles the
commodities purchased by the sale of
their own wool. The mountain paths
among the foothill* of the Himalayas
aro so precipitous that the sheep,
more surefooted than larger beasts,
are preferred as burdcu carriers.
The load for each 6 keep is from six¬
teen to twenty pounds. The sheep
are driven from village to villago
with the wool still growing, and iu
each town the fanner shears as much
wool as he can sell there, and loads
*»*e sheep with the graiu which he re¬
ceives iu exchauge. After his whole
flock has beeu sheared be turns it
towards borne, each sheep laving on
its back a small bag containing the
purchased graiu.—[PjtyqiJ Frpe

’ SARDINE FISHING.
An Exfensivc Industry on the
j Coast q{ Brittany .
i
How the Fish Are Caught and
Prepared for Export.
F. fe. Dellenbaugh, in a paper upon
Finisicre, read before the American
Geographical Society, describes (he
sardine industry a* it is practiced off
Pontaven on the coast of Brittany.
At limes, he says, there aro a* many
a* 1200 boats collected at this point,
where the sardine, while on its north¬
ward journey, attains its most desir¬
able size for taking and packing.
The boats are about thirty feet long,
entirely open, except for a short deck
at the stern, and carrying two masts
that can readily be taken down. The
ne(, about twonly feet long and six or
eight feet broad, is weighted on one
long edge and buoyed with cork floats
on the other, so that when it is in the
water behind the boat it assumes
an upright position like a wall,
and in this position is
towed through the water by
one end as the boat moves slowly
along. The captain mounts ilic little
deck at the stern with a bucket of
bait called rong, tho eggs of codfish,
under ono arm, aud his practiced eye
ranges the wator. When ho discovers
tho proximity of the fish ho scatters a
little of the rong on one side of the
net and they- rise ill a school to take it.
This is the critical moment. He
throws a quantity on the oppposite
side, and tho fish, making a dart for
it, are entangled in the meshes. When
the sardines are numerous the boat
doos not halt to take the net on board;
by means of a certain pull the meshes
are tightened aud, with a buoy to
mark ir, it is cast off and left till a
full catch is mado. Another net is
put out and Hie operation is repeated
till all the nets are used.
Then comes the picking up and ex¬
traction of the fish, the latter work
being performed with great care, be¬
cause handling tho fish injures them.
The net is caught up at the ends aud
seasawed till all the fish drop into the
bottom of the boat, where they re¬
main until the arrival in port. There
the fish are counted by the two hun¬
dreds into coarso baskets and dipped
in the water beside the boat to free
them from loose scale* and other mat¬
ter. Thence they are carried to the
factories and thrown upon long, low
tables, on each side of which is a
row of women and giris, who, witli a
short knife prepare them for the salt
vats, where they remain for two hours.
After that they are placed in coarse
baskets and given a bath of sea water
under a pump. Then they are put to
dry in the open air on wire racks-
When tho fish begin to shrivel the
racks are takon to the oilroom, where
four or five tanks of olive oil are con-
stantly boiling. Each rack is plunged
for a moment or two into the hot oil
and then set aside to drip, after which
the fish are selected and carefully laid
in tin boxes of various sizes.
When the box is full it is passed
along to tiie oil top, where the space
remaining is filled with oil, The box
is now ready for sealing and passes
along to the solderer. After the sol¬
dering a hole is punched in the cover
to let out (lie imprisoned air and im¬
mediately closed with soldei. Next
the cans are placed in a liuge iron
crate and lowered into tanks of boil¬
ing water. If there is still air in the
can it will explode or bulge out, and
the trouble can be corrected before
the final packing in wooden boxes for
export to all parts of the world.
A Fight Between Giraffes.
There is a deal of human nature in
a giraffe—in his native state. The old
fellows insist on ruling the herd as
long as possible, and never givo it up
till the younger ones whip them out,
and as the weak ones are whipped out
in tho start, the result is that each boss
giraffe is a polygamist on a large scale.
This leads to savage lights, and as tiie
•hunters penetrate into* South Africa
they occasionally wituess these duels.
A hunter gives Ibis account of such a
combat betwoen an old and a young
giraffe, witnessed from an adjacent
thicket:
“Presently the belligerents came
Within a few yards of each other.
Then commenced a sceno that baffles
all description. Some people might
call it ludicrous; it was far more, it
was side splitting, and but for iny de¬
sire to see the end I must have given
way to convulsions of laughter. Al¬
though tho giraffo possesses a certain
beauty when at rest, it loses its grace
when in motion, and the greater its
speed the more ungainly does it ap¬
pear.
But when two mature bulls begin to
waltz and dance violently around each
other, each endeavoring lo outdo the

tho vanquished aftor him. This oper¬
ation must linvo been painful, for iho
shrieks that the defeated warrior ut¬
tered were heartrending. After a
final worry tho hero of the hour
walked oil', and, willingly followed

After such a defeat the old fellow

Novel Measuring of Water Depths.
Frederick J, Smith of Trinity Col¬
lege, Oxford, explains a curious way
of finding tho depths of a piece of
water at a distance.
“About two years ago,” lie says, “1
wished to know from time to time tho
into at which a river was rising after
a fall of raiu. The river was a con¬
siderable distance from the spot where
its height was to be known. By means
of tiie combination of two orgau pipes
and a telephonic circuit described in
the following lines I have been able to
make the required measurements with¬
in rather close limits. At the river
station an organ pipe was fixed verti¬
cally in an inverted position, so that
the wator iu the river acted as a stop¬
per to the pipe, and tho vise and fall
of the wator determined tho note it
gave when blown by a small bellows
driven by a very small water wheel.
“A microphone was attached to the
upper end of the organ pipe; this was
in circuit with a wire leading to a
town station at some distance; at tiie
towu station there was an exactly
similar organ pipe, which could be
lowered into a vessel full of water
while It was sounding. By means of
the telephone the note given by the
pipe at the river was clearly heard at
the town station; then the organ pipe
at till* station was lowered or raised
by hand until it gave the same note.
The length of the organ pipes under
water at the two stations were then
equal, so that the height of the water
in the distant river was known.
“The determination can be made in
less than a minute by any one who
can recognize the agreement of two
similar notes. The arrangement when
first tested was so placed that the
height of wator at two places near
together might be easily compared. 1
found that a lad with au average ear
for musical sounds was able to get the
two heights to agree within one-eighth
of an inch of each other, while a per¬
son with au educated oar adjusted tho
instrument immediately to almost ex¬
act agreement. The total height to
bo measured was seventeen inches.
i t A difference of temperature at the
two stations would make a small dif¬
ference in the observed heiglits. For
instance, taking a note caused by 250
vibrations per second, a difference of
10 degrees C. between the temperature
of the two stations (one not likely to
occur) would make a difference of
about 0.02 feet in the height, a quant¬
ity of no moment in such a olnss of
measurements. The organ pipes were
of square section and made of metal
to resist the action of the water.”—

An Old Statue of Columbus.
It is the fashion just now to hunt up
statues of Columbus. One was found
in an obscure nook in Baltimore re¬
cently and now another has been
brought to tiie notice of the surprised
citizens of Boston. One of the’ daily
papers sent out a reporter to learn
whether such a thing existed, and. his
inquiries were for a long time futile.
At last he met a gentleman of some
antiquarian learning who informed
him that Columbus had been standiug
with an air of dejection for more Ilian
40 years iu Louisburg square. Even
iu tiie hum of preparation for the
great celebration nobody had noticed
him, which was, perhaps, not to be
wondered at, as the little recess known
as Louisburg square is given up to a
few ancient houses occupied by people
of the old school, who havo nothing in
common with modern Boston. The
repot Jer Urns describes the statue and
accounts for its origin: “The figure
was life size, and tiie material was
marble blackened by time. The right”
hand rested on a nautical instrument,
ami iu the ieft the folds of a cloak
were gathered. The faco was turned
towards the west. Mr. Iasigi, the
Italian consul, who once lived at No.

cial circles of Boston, happened one
day while abroad, to seo iu Leghorn
some statues which struck his fancy,
one being that ol the dariug naviga¬
tor. Thus it came to pass that Colum¬
bus started again on a voyage to
