Her mother raid: "Oh, dear! Isn't
dial. awfttlV What will people tliinUV"
Imt the people themselves seemed to
think it about Ihe prettiest incident
they had met that day.
Site was it very little girl, white
froclced. pink ribboned, brown curled.
With her mother site left the subway
train at the Grand Central station. The
usual confusion prevailed. Timid trav
elers grabbed suit cases and bundles
and exclaimed, "Oh, do we change
here?" Trainmen on the platform
shouted out directions for local and
express trains and the guards of that
particular car adjured the passengers
frequently and vehemently to "Step
lively!" and to "Watch the step." Then
all of a sudden there was a lull in the
uproar. The little girl was leaving
the car. She stopped at the door, look
ed back and waved her hand.
"Goodby, everybody," she said.
The words carried to tho far end of
the car. They made every one sit up.
Two or three persons called out a re
sponsive "Goodby," two or three said
"Kless the child," and all smiled. —New
York Press.
The Sea Serpent.
When fourteeu miles off the coast of
Brazil M. J. Nicoll, author of"Three
Voyages of a Naturalist," observed a
sea serpent which came within about
fifty yards of the ship. "All that we
could see was a dorsal tin about four
feet long sticking up about two feet
from the water. The fin was a brown
ish black color and much resembled a
gigantic piece of ribbon seaweed. Be
low the water we could indirectly see
a very large brownish black patch, but:
could not make out the shape of the
creature. Kvery now and then tho fin
disappeared below the water. Sud
denly an eel-like neck, about six feet
long and of the thickness of a man's
thigh, having a head shaped like that
of a turtle, appeared in front of the fin,
lashing up the water with a curious
wriggling movement. This creature
was an example, I consider, of what
has been so often reported, for want
of a better name, as the 'great sea
serpent.' I feel sure, however, that it
was not a reptile that we saw, but a
mammal."
Bought His Own Work.
To come across a bit of one's own
work in print is an experience not ordi
narily exasperating to an author, but a
Washington writer on scientific mat
ters was recently not very agreeably
surprised by such a development.
It appears that the writer was col
lecting material for a monograph on
electro magnetism when word came to
him of a valuable paper on Ihe subject
not long before published in a Berlin
journal devoted to science. Thinking
that the paper would be of use to him
in the work in hand, he had it trans
lated. When the T'nglish version was
laid before hint, together with quite a
bill for tho translator's labor, what was
the disgust oft lie writer to find that
the article was nothing more or less
than a German reproduction of an ar
ticle of his own published tho year be
fore in an English journal. And he
had paid twice as much for the trans
lation as he had received for the orig
inal article!— Washington Star.
A Dream Superstition.
I heard what was to me at least a
new piece of superstition the other day,
and when 1 think of the risks I've run
all these years because I didn't know
of it my blood runs cold. 1 met a wo
man from Virginia in market, and the
talk falling on dreams I recalled a
most blood curdling nightmare I had
had the night before.
"I must tell you what I dreamed
last night," I said.
"Let mo ask first whether it's a pleas
ant or an unpleasant dream?" said the
lady from Virginia.
"Decidedly unpleasant."
"Then for mercy's sake don't tell it!"
said site. "Never tell a bad dream on
Saturday, for we say in Virginia:
"Friday night's dream on Saturday told
Is sure to come true, no matter how old."

Australian Csdets.
All children in Australia are drilled,
but the elder boys are attached 1o the
Australian military forces by means
of the cadet corps. Almost every large
school luts its band of cadets, who
wear neat khaki uniforms and are
armed with light rifles, in the use of
which they are frequently instructed.
Every year those boys have shooting
matches, and the scores prove that
among the youngsters there art* many
who have already become skilled
marksmen. -London Standard.

"You know," saiii the distinguished
oriental who manifests much curiosity,
the Chinese discovered the art of
printing front type thousands of years

"Yes," replied the man who was

ly 1 don't doubt that they were the
original inventors of the interrogation
point.''—Washington Star.
