the most cheerful man that evei

wooden legs and wooden arms. He
wore them all' himself. Without
them he would not, to all

the body. His left forearm w as gone.

smallest stump of-the thumb on the

boots which everybody has seen leg¬

When it was all over his face

his legs and arms, exposing the hypo¬

made. At the same time he woifid
tell how glad he would be if he wife

his wife went on with the house¬

She was dismantling the front
room, and while he pursued the
sporting column she carried past
him in turn seven chairs, three
tables, a desk, four footstools, all of
the pictures, a piano stool, a book¬
case and the rest of the furniture.
Then she lugged in a pair ef steps
and a big pail of water and began to

“Maria, do you want any assistr

“Not just yet, dear,” said Maria.

What Oterworte Doe*
There is a general agreement as to
tbs fact that for a large number of
our people overwork is the bane of
existecae. It not only exhausts their
vitality, prematurely cutting short
their lives, but it seriously interferes
with their success, renders their
services less valuable and spoils the
happiness of their lives, ft does oot
even end here. If affects others
also in proportion to their nearness
for the family and friends of an over¬
worked man always suffer Jaded
and worn he cannot fulfill bis duties
to them, nor afford them the comfort
and happmess which he owes them
und which they have a right to ex¬
pect. He is. in truth, hut half a
man while he lives and is probably
preparing to live out but half his
days. -Philadelphia Ledger.

The hedgehog runs the roads in
England freely. He !s a quaint lit¬
tle fellow, our bedgepig, having far
more intelligenae than people give
him credit for. It is curious, as you
stand perfectly still in the middle of
the road, to see him come running
along then stopping to sniff and
whine and examine the high, strange
object that hardly breathes lest he
startle the little creature. Then
with a gentle grunt he will pass you
by. A very low yet decided grunt
he gives, and he whines as well —

Mr. Uuinii'tf Genial .Seal.
Sauaalito has a pet seal of the
leopard variety which is three months
old and is owned by George Quinn.
It was captured by a fisherman in
Richardson’s bay. It is learning al!
sorts of tricks, and on the approach
of any 1 K>dy close to the toig tub in
which it constantly disports itself it
cries as only a seal can cry, or shouts
and extends one of its flippers as if
wanting to indulge in its own pecu¬
liar handshaking. If a person takes
the proffered flipper it gazes intently
into his face, as if conscious of a
friendly greeting.
Sometimes it gets out of its tub
and hammers away at the yard gate
and cries like a petulent child until
some one lets it out Then it wobbles
down into the street and buries itself
in the dust until it is hidden from
view. An occasional cry marks Its
location. There it basks in the warm
sun until somebody passes — Sac

BUILDING UP THiv LAND*.
Another matter which should engage
our setious attention is the 'building up
ami permanent Improvement of our
lands. Under the rtiitou.i tenant system
much laud originally good has broome
so depleted and exhausted of all vege¬
table matter hh to render its cultivation
exceedingly hazardous and unsatisfac¬
tory. Under this system concentrated the plan fer¬ has
been to apply highly th*
tilizers in tho drill, and of course
crop must lie kept free of all vegetable
growth. The same land has been
planted continuously in the same crop,
and is it any wonder thut after a few
years the soil is exhausted arid peculiar¬
ly liable to suff -r from drouth or any
extremes in weather conditions. It has
required perhaps seventy years to elim¬
inate the food propertieH from our soil,
but we have exhausted it. and while this
is a most discouraging proposition, we
mast face it, and bring every means nt
our command to meet and overcome it.
By perseveretice hc-I energy I believe

"Yes,” he Baid, “everywhere; and
not finding tlfem I have sent for the

a rowanl for the recovery of stock¬
ings of silk, and of such value.
“That's all right," he replied, in a
confidential tone. "Nobody'll know
