Bob Y Once Bob and Betty went down the beach together in their bath ing-suits, and on the sand right in front of them they saw a great red crab, with a big, round body and long clawa; he was walking side- wise round the little rocks. "Let's go up and speak to him, Betty," said Bobby; and the two children went up and said, "How do you do, Mr. Crab l We know it's you, because we have your pic- ture in our book." Bobby . found a long stick, with ' which he poked Mr. Crab to see him open wide his claws, for Bobby knew that is the way crabs always fight.ht. Buggins,their little dog, was and Betty, but not brave like Bob v he was- wiser, and he barked at Mr. Crab, and tried to bark the child- ren away. 'That's right, Buggins," said Bobby, laughing. "You look after your precious little toes, but I'm going to tickle him with my stick." "Look out, Bobby!" said Betty. "He might bite your hand." "I'll be very careful, 'fraid cat l" said Bobby, as he tickled Mr. Crab, who began to walk round in bis own funny fashion. Mr. Crab grew very cross, and began to open his great claws and look ab Bobby's feet; but Bobby did not think of them. "Ow ! owl ow 1" cried Bobby, sud- denly. Cross old Mr. Crab had put out his great claw and pinched the toe of Bobby's little bathing -shoe. Bobby screamed with fright, and tried to shake off Mr. Crab; but he hung on tighter than ever, while Bobby shook his foot in the air, and danced on one leg as long as he could. Then he tried to run away, but he was only giving Mr. Crab a ride, too. "The crab's caught me," owned Bobby, very much frightened. Betty came over to Mr. Crab, and whipped him with her beach shovel; then she` poured a pailful 'of water over him, and Buggins barked at him as hard as any Iittle dog could bark—and still Mr. Crab would not let go. Buggins whined, and Betty cried, "0 Bobby, do you suppose he will bite your big toe off?" "I'm afraid so," said Bobby. "Is it bleeding?" asked Betty, looking closely at his foot. "It scares worse than it hurts," owned Bobby, with his eye on the big crab. "Peep off, Buggins ! He'd take your paw and hold it for you if he had not taken mine first." "Bobby," whispered Betty, as if she did not want Mr. Crab to hear, "let me untie your bathing -shoe," and she leaned over very, very quietly, and untied the tapes and loosened the heel of the thin can- vas shoe. "Now, Bobby, see if you can't pull your foot out," she ordered. Bobby gave a long tug, while she held the heel of his shoe, and out came Bobby's poor, scared foot, with all five toes still growing on it, and over rolled horrid old Mr. Crab, with the bathing -shoe held in his big strong claw, which never would let go so long as it grew on Mr. Crab's body. So Mr. Crab did not eat little boy for lunoheun that day; all he had was a little canvasback shoe, with- out a bit of good meat in it.— Youth's Companion. A. New Scotch Story. The following good story is told in the London Tatler of two old Scotsmen in a train who were dis- cussisg the domestic unhappiness of a mutual friend. "Ay, ay," said one, "Jamie Thomson has a sair time wi' that wife o' his. They say. they're aye fechtin'." "What else can ye expect?" said the other scornfully, "The puir feckless crea- ture marrit after coortin' for only seven year. Man, he had nae chance to ken the woman in such a short time. When I was coortin' I coorted for twenty year." An amused listener to this dialogue now ventured to ask if this long court- ship had ensured connubial bliss, whereupon the old Scotsman re- turned, "I tell ye 1 coorted for twenty year, and in that time I kent what woman was and so I didna marry," Sweet Innocence. A newly married man returned home one evening to discover that his wife was "all tired out." "'.You look dreadfully fatigued, . little one," he said, in a sympathetic tone. "I am," was the reply. "You • see, dear, 1 heard you say that you liked rabbit, so early this morning I went to the market to get you one.

CLOUDED BRAIN. Clears Up On Change to Proper Food. The brain cannot work with clearness and accuracy, if the food taken is not fully digested, but is retained in the stomach to ferment and form poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded brain is likely to be the result. A lady relates her experience in changing .her food habits, and re- sults are very interesting: "A steady diet of rich, greasy foods such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and so on, finally broke down a stomach and nerves that, by in- heritance, were sound and strong, and medicine did no apparent good in the way of relief. "My brain was clouded and dull and I was suffering from a case of constipation that defied all reme- dies used. "The 'Road to Wellville,' in some providential way, fell into my hands, and may Heaven's richest blessing fall on the man who was inspired to write it. "I followed directions carefully, the physical culture and all, using Grasse -Nuts with sugar and cream, leaving moat, pastry and hot bis- cuit entirely out of my bill of fare., The result—I am in perfect health onto more. "I never realize I have nerves, and my stomach and bowels are in fine condition.

It the blood is thin and watery, the health of the whole body suffers. The sufferer becomes nervous and irritable; the stomach fails in strength and the appetite becomes poor. Food does not give the necessary nourishment, and the first feeling of weakness. passes, as time goes on, into a gen, eral breakdown in the health. The case of Mrs. Angelique Gagnon, of St, Jerome, Que., illustrates the truth of these statements, Mrs. Gagnon says: I am fifty years of age, and up to a few months ago always enjoyed the beat of health. Then I began tofe feel run down and weak, without patience a inae or ambi- tion. My appetite grew poor, and my nerves seemed to be on edge, and the least noise or worry would make me irritable and nervous. Life became an actual burden, and I could no longer look after my household duties. My doctor pres- cribed and ordered a change, say- ing that I was a nervous wreck. I tried to become interested in other things but failed, and my condition was really deplorable. I continued in this condition for several months, gradually going down, and as my doctor was not helping me I was easily persuaded by a frifind to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After taking the Pills for a'few weeks I could see an improvement, and I gladly continued using them for a couple of months, when I found my health fully restored. I am more than thankful for what Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have done for me, and I gladly recommend them to all who are weak, nervous and run- down." undown," By making rich, red blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure such cases as Mrs. Gagnon's. In the same way they cure nervous headaches, neur- algia, indigestion, rheumatism, St. Vitus' dance, and the ailments that come to growing girls and women. of mature years.

Disgraced by Allowing His Master to Dine Without Fish. There were many faithful ser- vants, proud of their callings, in the households of the nobility of France in the seventeenth century. Net a few were as sensitive on a point of honor as the most high- born gentleman. In "Social France in the XVII. Century," Cecile Hu- gon records the story of Vatel, the Due de Oonde's chef, an historic example of this type of servant. Tho king arrived one Thursday night at Chantilly, and Vatel was greatly put to it to have an ade- quate repast for his majesty. He strewed the hall with jonquils, and the food was abundant. But on two of the tables there was no roast meat. "I have lost my honor. 1" cried Vatel. "This is an affront that I cannot endure." His friend Gourville tried to con- sole him, and helped bimm to make further arrangements for the com- missariat. Gourville, kind man, also confided to the duke the dis- tress of his servant at the absence of those two roasts. Conde at once went to Vatel and said to him : "Vater, everything is going well; never was seen such a beautiful supper as the king's." 'Monseigneur,' replied Vatel, "your kindness completes my con- fusion. I know there was no roast at two tabie:s." "Do not be anxious," said the duke. "Everything is admirable. Vatel was eonsoied, the duke was satisfied, and the feast cost 16,000 francs. Vatel, however, was des- tined to fall a viotim to his pride. Some fish ordered from the coast failed to arrive at the proper time. Vatel waited a few hours, and then fell upon his sword, rather than survive the disgrace of allowing his master to dine without fish, 1. Luminosities. There are always times when we wish wo could see something which the darkness hides. Luminous paint solves all these and eeores of other dark difficulties.

Raw the Native§ of Tahiti Capture the Sea -Tiger, Tickling a shark in order to make the fish amenable to capture is a singular practice among the na- ti yes of island f Tahiti. r't' wri- ter, la o al r r. A w ter, who watched the eport while seated in a canoe manned by two natives, thus describe it Peering into the clear water, where you can see to a depth of four or five fathoms, you catch a gli'mpso far down among the sea- ferns and' coral cups of the long, lithe tail of a:. shark, and of a huge pectoral fin that sways continually with a sidewise motion, and sends up little ripples to the surface. The native diver picks up a coil of coacoanut fibre with a slip -noose already tied in it, seizes a knife in his teeth, and quietly slips into the water. It is done with wonderful skill. The native keeps close to the reef, n p himself d nils hiw if down through the water by means of the sea growths till he is right over the waving tail. Slowly a black hand stretches out, and starting behind the pectoral fin, begins to stroke the sea -tiger. There is a faints move- ment of the body, and the fins sway more rapidly. Again the hand moves forward, and as it strokes the fish, the other hand leaves the slip -knot hanging loosely near the spread of the tail. Then the native comes qujetly to the surface, and the spectator breathes freely again. The sail is set, the steersman takes his place on the outrigger, and the diver in the bow, with a yell of "Hula I" pulls hard on the rope. On the occasion that I speak of, the shark splashed about in wild frenzy for a moment or two, and then settled down to a tour of the lagoon. Twi,es he circled about, and the canoe plowed along, with the water bubbling and frothing at the bow, where the keen -eyed native in- tently watched the tightened rope. Suddenly it slackened, and the diver trent over the side like a flash, with a knife in his hand. A minute later the surface of the water was a brilliant red, and the native was scrambling back into the canoe. We towed the shark to the beach, and measured him. He was sixteen feet long. tp FARMING IN RUSSIA. The Peasants in Each Section Move About Each Year. In the Petersburg district of Rus- sia scientific agriculture is .praoti- tally unknown. The summer is too short to allow of the successful raising of crops, and tillage is con- fined to the lands belonging to the village comrmunitiea. In Russia ;practically every village is State owned—that is, under the control of no landlord, and every village has within its bounds a certain acreage of common land. The habi- tants of the village have each one a filed amount of this land assign- ed to them; but, to avoid favorit- ism, a peasant does not faran the same strip two seasons running, but a rotation isracticed whereby each member of the village in time goes over the whole land of the community. The birth of a son is a source of great joy on the part of the Russian peasant, for on such an occasion an extra grant of land is given to him. In the north of Russia wheat is never grown. Oats are produded, but rya is the staple prop, and it is from this cereal that the peasant makes his bread. My mare, a very valuable one, was badly bruised and out by being caught in a.. wire fence. Some of the wounds would not heal, although I tnlcd many different medicines. Dr. Bell advised me to use MINARD'S LINIMENT, diluted at first, then stronger as the sores began to look better, until after three weeks, the sores have healed, and beet of all the hair is growing well, and is NOT WHITE as is most always the case in horse wounds.

An amusing inci- dent in Mrs. Hugh Fraser's "Re- miniscences of a Diplomatist's Wile" shows that the people's con- fidence was not misplaced. One day the Emperor's adjutant, Count Seokendorff, presented an officer to frim upon the latter's pro- motion to major. "Congratulations, major," said the Emperor. The officer glanced at hien an instant with an expres- sion of astonishment and delight, then bowed and withdrew. Presently to his dismay, Count Seokendorff discovered that the offi ter thus promoted was one of two brothers, and that It was the other one the elder, who had just reach- ed ash - ed his majority; the younger bro- ther, who had just been presented to the Emperor, was only a captain. When he explained the mistake to the Emperor, William I. replied, "Well, there's nothing to he done. 'Major' I said, and major he must remain." Seokendorff came to him a few days later with the request that he might be allowed to present the real major, but the F,.mpsror shook his head. "No, no, my dear fellow," he answered, with a smile, "you don't catch me matin"g the same mistake twice." It took some persuasion to induce him to receive the newly promoted officer.
