A mink thought he would go into the barrel to have a little swim, but when he found that he could not get out again. While he wits struggling it the water a large hen hawk chanced to fly over, and it seemed to occur to him that it was a good chance to make a meal of the mink. He went for the barrel and a terrible fight ensued. The hawk, however succeeded in killing the mink, but during the combat his feathers became so wet that he, too was unable to get out and was drowned. Both victor and van• quished were fund dead in the bar- rel afterwards.

James Payn tell this tough story for a fact of recent occurrence:—A pious widow, oh retiring to her chamber, saw a pair of blucher boots with some body's teet in them protruding from the bottom of the bed. She was alone and far from earthly help. She at once knelt down as usual and said her prayers aloud, but with rather an un- usual rider, or appendix. After pray- ing for all the wicked, she added, "and especially for this miserable sinner who is under my bed,witb his thoughts fixed on robbery and murder, The man was so taken aback by this personal allusion—much worse than being " named"-_ in the House of Commons—•that he crawled out a penitent, and under the widow's guid- ance became a preacher. Some days ago, while a theatrical company were staying at the Tecum- seh house, London, one of actresses reported that $25 had been stolen from a satcnel in her room. A bell- boy named Gamble was suspected of the theft and arrested. He denied taking the money, but offered to give 825 to settle the matter, He was held for trial, however, and was bait- ed to appear for trial. The sum sum of $25 was found in his posses- sion, which was banded over to the lady. The police, however, have re- ceived a letter from the manager of the company, Charles W. Davis, stating that the lady had found her money in her portmanteau, and re turning the $25 that had been taken from Gamble. WHY DID GOD MAKE SO MUCH OUTDOORS? Two WOMEN'S EXPEa- I ENC ES.

Warner's safe cure (an American preparation) was all she had taken, and she had experienced none of her old trouble for some mon- ths past. Mrs Annie Jennees- Miller, editor of New York Dress, and a very popu- lar woman in the fashionable world, says in her own magazine for October "Warner's safe cure is the only medi- cine I ever take or recommend. In every instance it gives new energy and vitality to all my powers." This dis- tinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is"peculiarly effective."
