Steam navigation is to -day so well understood that the most serious danger to be dreaded at sea is the possibility of running ashore on Rome unsuspected and concealed bit of land. To lessen this possibility on spots where lighthouties are impossible, lightships and luminous buoys are anchored. At Dunqurquet France, the now lightship Ruytingen marks the Presence of a dangerous sand- bar. This ship is built on a , principle which is new as applied to :lightships. It is of steel and is full rigged on a simple plate It carries at its inastliee,d a powerful light, and has among other innovations a mechanical apparatus for [storing and dispensing compressed „air, [by which fog can be lissipated and the -light made clear' and visible under other- wise impossible circumstances. Lifeon these ships is comfortable and peaceful, and the posts are given to old sailors with honorable records. Occasionally a storm breaks the anchor chain and the ship, is away on the waves. Then sails are hoist- ed sed the ship is kept away from shore until the wind dies and the waters are -are again safe and smooth. But in fair weather there is little care, and the great- est difficulty to obtain variety in ',this peaceful monotony of inaction.

McINTYRE Seaforth, MOORISH WOMEN. An Amerlean Writer Who Finds Thins Distinctly Interesting. Writing about Moorish women, Rich- ard Harding Davis says: There is something continually interesting in the muffled figures of the women. They make you alinost ashamed of the uncov- ered faces of the American women in the town, and, in the lack of any evi- dence 0 the contrary, you begin to be- lieve eYery Moorish woman or girl you meet is as beautiful as her eyes would make it appear that she is. Those of the girls whose faces I saw were distinctly handsome; they were the women Benja- min Constant paints in his pictures of Algiers, and about whom Pierre Loti goes into ecstacies in his book on Tangier. This robe or cloak, or whatever the thing is Chey affect, covers the head like a hood, and with one hand they hold one of its folds in front of the face as high as their eyes. The only .times that a ever saw the face of any of them vvas when I occasionally eluded Mahamed and ran off with a little guide called Isaac, the especial, protector of two Am- erican women, who farmed him out to me when they preferred to remain in the hotel, He is a particuliarly beauti- ful youth, and 1 noticed that whenever he was with me the cloaks of the women had a fashion of coining undone, and they would lower them for an instant and ldok at Isaac and then replace them severely upon the bridge or the DOM. Then Isaac would turn toward me with a shy, conscious smile and blush vielent- ly. Isaac says the young men of Tangier can tell whether or not a girl is pretty by looking at her feet. It is true that their feet are bare, but it struck nee as beihg a somewhat reckless way i , for selecting a bride. TWO WAGON JACKS. They Are Easily Made and Very Con. verilent for Every Day Use.

Press down on the outer end -of the lever until the axle is as high as wanted, then retain it by adjusting the wire in the proper notah. By this -means a heavy wagon is readily greased. The jack being made of oak or some other hard wood is strong enough to lift several tons. A Serious Undertaking.

Do Not Fret. kilLA. • Any one who expects ,to go through life wiahout a. certain share of botheration, ie under a very serious mistake. It is in the nature of human affairs for petty vexations to arise, one can hardly tell how or where- fore; and he is a wise man, who, being aware of this faot, does not allow himself to fret or fume over annoyancee that every- body has to encounter, and which cannot be helped. Fretting does not pay. To the contrary, it is always praotieed at a lose of time, strength and temper, ending in a -great loss of happiness. Fretters are much more apt to indulge in their silly habit of pessi- mism concerning small matters than great- .er ones, and imaginary troubles are quite as likely to be the subject of their disquiet- ude as real ones. And, if they have n6ths real to worry over, they will conjure up something with which to make themselves miserable. Nothing is to be gained by fretting. You simply make yourself miserable by so doing, and, moreover, you are almoet certain to make your family and friends uncomfortable. Remember this, ye frettess, and fret no more. • From Bad to Worse. A lady whose ohristian name was Jane, and whose little daughter was named after her, engaged a housekeeper who was also a Jane. Thinking that three Janes in one house- hold might occasion confusion, the lady said to the new -comer, who was a tall, angular woman, with a rigid air and an uncompro- mising oast of countenance, "1 think, Jane, it will be better for 1116 to call you by your last name, if you have no objection." " No'm, I have no objections," answered the housekeeper, standing stiffly erect, valise in hand. "Call me 'Darling, ma'am, If you prefer. That's my name I' tt: Not Old. A "minister's man" in Scotland was one Sunday afternoon following his master to the church, when the minister, happening to turn about, detected an unwonted smile on his face. „ "What makes you laugh, James? It is unseemly, what is there to amuse you ?l' "Oh, nothing particuler," says' James. "1 was only thinking of something ' that happened this forenoon." , What was that?" "Well, sir, don't be angry with me, but you know the congregation are not pleased to hear old sermons from you, and this morning I got the better of them, anyway." " And how was that, James?" says the minister. " Well, sir, when we came out of the church this forenoon, I knew what they were thinking; so says I, 'Well, you can- not call this morning's sermon an old one, for We not over six weeks since you last heard it." In a Rolling -Chair. He was short, stout and wore spectacles, not quite a German, but a jolly Teutonic American; and his wife was like him, and the four children were like both of them, only smaller. They got in line outside the " pay gate" and were admitted within the exposition grounds, where for some moments they etood in a huddled- group wonderingly. " Ve shall be lost," said the woman, her blue eyes returning to the children after a startled glance at the moving crowds and the great buildings. " No, mine Eloise,' ve shall riot be lost," said the broad Teutonic father. "1 vill procure one of der rolling -chair, and ve vill go all together. Stand you all here close." He made his way, florid and bustling, to a neighboring chair stand, and there secur- ed one of those basket like vehicles which can be hired with or without a " pusher," and which are designed to carry one person eac"114 et you -in der chair, Eloise! exclaim- ed paterfamilias triumphant.

" No, no, but you vill stray," interposed both father and mother at once ; and the lad, seven years old at least, was bestowed on the foot rest, with his mother's feet for a cushion, and unoomplaingly held upi his own insteps in his two hands. "So, dot is all right. Now then, hold on tight, every- body. Ye go." The father stood behind. He braced himself. The chair creaked, and moved forward, and the family set off for a day's sight-seeing, all happy, all enjoying it. And a thousand smiles followed them— not one of which they ever saw.—Youth'e Companion. Somebody's Father. I think that one of the saddest incidents of the war which I witnessed, was after the battle of Gettysburg. Off on the outskirts, seated on the ground, with his back to a tree was a soldier, dead. His eyes were riveted on some object held tightly clasped in his hand. As we drew nearer, we saw that it was an ambrotype of two small children. Man though I was, hardened through those long years to carnage and bloodshed, the sight of that man who looked onaiiis children for the last time in this world, who away off in a secluded spot had rested himself against a tree, that he might feaet hie eyes on his little loves brought tears to my eyes, which- I could no; restrain had I wanted. There were six of us in the crowd, and we -all found great lumps gath- eringlin our 'throste, and mist coming be- , 1 -31,21111111114111111111 walked abroad holding the hand of an over- careful parent. Then cigarette -smoking was looked upon as a sure precursor of in- temperance, and the boy was taught to re- gard his vices as manly because their prac- tice was rebellion. FAthers and mothers are more sensible than tht-y were, much to the advantage of the ee uegeters. — Every father who leo s in the vic'eity of navigable water, and weo can afford it, ought to give his boy a oat boat, or at least a sailing canoe. That is, of course, assum- ing that the boy has a healthy body and a mind ti•at works len ordinary accuracy and coolness. If he cannot afford to buy a boat tor the boy, Le ought to seek out op- portunities for him to learn to sail in other boys' LoAts. To neglect this is 'to neglect one of the beet of the means of youthful education. The • mastery of the oat boat improves every faculty of the boy. It maim' him strong of body, alert of mind, cool in danger, thoughtful of the rights of others, self -respectful and firm in maintain- ing his own rights, for no boy can sail a cat- boat without racing with another boy's cat boat, and when he races he must obey the law of right of way, and he must insist on every advantage that is rightly,his. His reasoning faculty, too, is more largely de- veloped than in any other game except that of football, which a cat -boat finely supple- ments, the football field enabling the boy to measure himself against contending human intelligence, while the cat boat enables him to contend against the invisible elements of inanimate nature. - "But acoidents occur with cat boats!" So they do, and so they do with horses, bi- oycles, row -boats, balls, bats, dogs and the sportive game of tag. Will you have your boy a "muff" or a "eissy ?" Accidents do happen in eat boats, and sometimes they are fatal, but how many fatal -accidents asive happened to boys who have been properly taught to handle their oat boats? Not ,many. The usual cat boat accidents happen to the full grown ignoramus, who, not knowing a sheet from a sail, fills his boat with other ignoramuses, and reaps the con- sequences. Such accidents as these are not to be taken into account. Notwithstanding them, it is true that if you would make a real man of your boy he should be taught to sail e boat. Bewildering Conceit. There is a degree of knowledge—perhaps it should be called a degree of ignorance— which enables its possessor to do things which astonish others at the time, and which the doer himself is likely to be astonished at when he calls them to mind afterward. Mr. Justin McCarthy sends to the New York Herald a description of a scene which he once witnessed in the studio of Gustave Dore. I was taken to visit Dore once or twice in his Paris studio many years ago—indeed before the German invasion. .0ne of kose who accompanied me on the first occasion was a clever young English woman who had a taste for painting, and was beginning —just beginning—to practise the art with some promise of success. M. Dore was working, I think, at the Dream of Pilate's Wife." The young lady did not like one of his touches, and bluntly told him so. Dore smiled blandly, as muoh as to say, "What may you not expect from an English girl ?" He argued the point with her. She fan- cied that he did not quite understand what she meant—which I think was quite possi- ble. To my horror she suddenly exclaim - ea, " Look here, this is what I mean course she spoke in French—and she seized the brush from the painter's hand and pro- ceeded to touch up after her own.fashion that particular part of the figure. Everybody was horrified—except the girl herself and Dore. The painter took her ac- tion with the most exquisite politeness and the greatest gravity, He studied the pic- ture carefully with the new and unexpected touch given to ia—looked at It from this point and that, as if it were really a possi- ble revelation to him,—and finally declared that the young lady was quite right, and that he would adopt her suggestion. I Wonder if be actually did adopt it? I should rather think not. But whether he did or not, he got us all well out of a trouble. He Knew when He was Through. A farmer in Greeee County, Pennsylvan- ia, hired as ,his assistant during a busy season a reoent importation from the Emer- ald Isle. The young man was engaged owe evening, and at the breakfast table the next morning his employer said: "Well, Pat, have you bad enough' break- fast "01 have sore," replied Pat. "Then now pitch in and eat your dinner," said the farmer, "for we are going to work today at the far end of the farm, and won't have time to come to the house to eat dinner." Pat resumed his eating, and when he stopped, his employer asked : "Have you had enough dinner ?" " Yis, Bor." " Well, we must put in a good long day to- day ; so you had better eat your supper, too, before we start." Pat went to work at the eatables, and finally laid 'down his knife and fork. "Had enough supper ?" asked the farmer. " Yie." "Then now we will go to work." " Worruk, is it ?" asked Pat, with a look of well -feigned surprise. " Of course," replied his employer. "Oh, no,". replied Pat with a shake of the head. "Where I kim from we never worruk after supper, sorr." Girls, Don't Marry in a Hurry. , Young girls, wait until you are at least twenty-five before you marry. All tastes change between the ages of sixteen and thir- ty. The books you read, the games you enjoy, the milliner's skill you trust to, the friendship you cultivate, all are changing; why should not the tastes and fancies of the soul? The age that feeds upon Mrs. South- worth and Mrs. Holmes is vastly unlike the age that demands stronger mental food. The, hero you are ready to worship at eigh- teen will not be a hero to you, ten fchances to one, at twenty-eight. Wait until your tastes settle and the poseibilities within you have found their level before you fix upon an unalterable destiny. For I tell you, whether it brings sorrow or joy, the choice you make is an irrevocable one.The moon may go back and be a crescent ere the first quarter is reached, the rose re -enfold itself within the calyx of the bud, or the sultry noon renew the freshness of the dawn before the circle of the day is spanned with greater ease than a woman .can resume the lightness of her maiden fancies after the die of her wedded lot is cast. —Hall's Journal of Health. • The Boy and the Cat Boat.
