He had been in a dreadful accident and for l Tong weeks no one thought he would live, but was now better, and the doctor had said that if he could get out of doors there would be a. chance of his getting stronger. He needed a. wheel chair, but his parents were poor and his schoolmates were trying to make up enough money to buy one. No, Pete would not be sorry he had given up the fishing. But it was a. very disc’our- aged face which he turned to his mother as she came to the back door. She held onto piece of ginger-bread to him. “If I Tâ€" had the seeing to things,” he said, fretfully, “‘I wouldn’t- let boys’ piles fall dOWn.”â€" “Such things would seem hard,” she said, with r.- pat on his head, “if we didn’t know so well that in some way they are for the “ Come on and go fishing, Pete. ”â€" “Where?” asked Pete. “Over to Beach Creek. It’s rose lise everything these last rains and the fish’ll bite like sixty. And it’s just the kind of day.”â€"“Tipâ€"top. I’ll go. I‘ll get my tackle.” Pete brought it out to the back porchâ€"a wonderful tangle of linen, hooks sinkers and bobbers. “I’ll help you unsnarl it,” said Jim, and the two sat dowu to it. At the same moment Pete’s father came through the house to the back door. “Pete,” he said,“1’m look- ing for a boy to pile that wood.” Pete’s face fellas he took a look at the big heap of sawed and split wood. “It’s an awful lot,” he said, “and I was going fishing.”â€"â€"“You can do as you please,” said his father. “I’m not going to make you take your Satur- day. I’m going to give a. dime. for the j ob.”-~-“Me and you wants to give some _ . A. 2.--! And-{nus Rani” said "1 m 1300301115 w Hui-av I, v.- n..- 7 _, day.

That’d be 20 cents. Won’t you stay? It would be al- most as good as play if we did it together.” Jim took a. look around and shook his head. The back-yard had a high fence about it and was not, he thought, a pleas- ant place in which to spend a holiday. “ It’s a. lot nicer out in the woods,” he said, discontentedly. “ And say, Pete. we can sell our fish and get some money that way.” I 1 4‘ _.+ nun?" 90“ V\.- an“ w.__ 5 â€"“ But what if we shouldn’t get any?" said Pete, cautiously. “ Pshaw! Ccurse we’ll get some. Come on.” Pete looked longingly at the now straightened out fish- ing tackle “ I’d like to goâ€"awfully. But I’d like to be sure of the dime for Ben”â€" “ But you’ll get it,” insisted Jim. “ Like enough we’ll catch enough fish to get a quarter a. piece.” “V‘Vhat would you do, _mother?” asked Pete, sorely puzzled how to make up his mind, as she came to the door. “It is always wise to take the sure thing.” she said. “ Come on,” urged Jim,as she went away. But Pete began Winding up his fishlines. “ I’V'e generally noticed,” he said, stoutly, “ that what mother says generally comes out right.” The older Pete grows he will be sure the 1 more and more to find that this is “general- ly ” the case with “ what mother says” and that it is a. wise boy who begins to notice it while he is small. Still it was with quite a. weight at his heart that he watched Jim go around the corner of the house and then turned to the huge pile of wood in the corner. “ P’raps I’ll get done by dinner time,” he called after him, and then set himself to work. It was not hard work, but the stooping soon began to tire him. The sun, too, instead of keeping to his promise of 9. good, cloudy day for fishing, smiled away in a. manner which made quick work of the morning mists and then beam: ed dowu with a. warmth which Pete found‘ very trying. He thought of the coolness of the woods, remembering the freshness of the Summer wind as it stirred the leaves and fanned hot faces. There would be wild flowers, too, and he always liked to brino mother a. bunch. The spring ones wou cl be about gone, but the violets and blue-bells of early Summer would in shady places he in full bloom. ML :_4... 4.1... «maria an ennn Fla-Wu UV .1. -â€"-_ .

How can it be best for him?”â€"-â€"“It, takes hard things to make good things. A brave boy is a good thing. If hard things don’t come how could any boy learn to be brave?” Pete gave a little nod. In his very heart he wished to be a. brave boy. “And about Ben”â€"went on his mother, “it must be that there is some wonderfuld‘pod waiting for him. Perhaps the Lord is going to make a brave, great, good man of him through all this." Pete went back to his work with a. great glow in his heart. Per- haps he was helping the Lord 8 little in helping Ben. “I wonder,” he said to him- self, “how boys that haven’t got mothers learn to be brave.” 1 - ,And then in a. vague and misty way it‘ dame into his small head that the same dear Lord who was so good as to give such mothers to some boys, must manage to help the other boys in some way, according to their need. At twelve o’clock Pete stood and gazed in triumph at his neatly piled and. At one he set out with his fishing ' ckle to join Jim, his heart bounding with the delight given by pleasant words from father and mother.

The sun sank low before they reached Mrs. BrOWn's cot- tage and then Pete was so tired as to be glad to rest and eat some ginger snaps from the big basket. it was far too late to go fishing when Mrs. Brown showed him a short out home over the fields.

She is about 340 feet in length and 34 feet. in width. Her l l l ULv Avvv -_ ---_n,v machinery is of good class, the engines ‘ being quadruple expansion and capable of ‘ developing nearly 1,800 horse power. Her speed is about 12 miles per hour. The “Olbia” though now owned in France by the Fabre line of Marseilles, is of English build. The saloon is situated to the rear of the vessel and back of the seloon are the state- rooms. The saloon is large and comfort- able and is finished 05 in hard maple. The intermediate-quarters are situated to the forepart of the vessel, and though the space is limited the accommodation is good. The “01bia” can accommodate 36 saloon and ‘24 second-class cabin passengers as well as about 800 steerage. Captain Rouille is in command of the vessel on behalf of the » owners while Captain Henri represents the Franco-Canadian Company. The surgeon is Dr. Martigny, son of the inspector of Pris- ons for the province of Quebec. A first- ‘ class chef is in charge of the culinary de-1 pertinent. It is confidently expected by the 1 promoters of the company that the new line will develop a. good paying trade between Canada. and France. A reception was given on board the “Olbia” before her de- parture from Rouen to the members of the board of Commerce of that city, and all of these present spoke enceuragingly of the new venture. Mr. Feiliet, Governor of St. Pierre and Miquelon, was among the passengers to Montreal. This steamer has only been chartered temporarily by the Franco-Canadian Line. The Company are new building three magnificent steamers to run the route from Rouen to this port. 1|.le v1.- an' __- It'is hoped with these to establish a ten day service from Montreal. The route to be taken by this new line is from Rouen to La Pallice-Rochelle harborflnear La Roch- elle on the Pallice roads from whence the harbor derives its name. From thence the steamers will sail for America. stopping at St. Pierre Miquelon and then on to Quebec and Montreal. During' the winter the American port will be Halifax. It is the intention of the Company in the near‘future to establish a line of smaller steamers to ply between St. Pierre Miquelon, Portland, Boston, Sydney and Halifax. This will partake somewhat of a patriotic character‘ the object being to develop the interests of the French colonies in the Atlantic. The ‘ port of Pallice-Rochelle from which the steamers of this line will put to sea was opened to navigation in J une, 189l. It was built in order to supply the French coast between Brest and Bayonne with a. harbor _ which the largest ship might always enter. each fitted with from eighty to ninety teeth. These teeth are furnished with rugged edges, like those of a. saw. As soon as it feels assured of a. sufficient connection with its basis of operation, it commences to move the operating teeth backwards and forwards with great rapidity, until it divides the skin of its victim or patient, leaving the characteristic mark of its triradiatc bite. Gluttonous though the leech unquestionably is, and appreciative of human blood, it is not a little fastidious as to the conditions on which it will take; the tronble even to settle on a skin, Ow-j ing to its great sensibility of perception, the leech will not attach itself to the per- son of any one who is under the influence of intoxicating drink or certain narcotics ; while on the skins of others it will settle all the more readily ii moistened with milk.

During their in- fancy she kept up to a. limited extent her habits of reading formed previous to mar- riage. She had books in her nursery, in her kits-hen, to pick up and refresh herself withal when a. moment’s leisure permitted. When the children went to school, she looked over their lessons with them, helped ithem over hard places, and thus reviewed the studies of her own youth and kept fresh in them. When they went away to college she took up lines of reading that should kgep her in intellectual sympathy with t em. ‘ “VA uvyvuAu uvuuu; ..... And heaven sends down its light.

Ullv To do all this she had to choose between alternatives both very desirable. She could not embroider and ruflle her clothing and theirs, and at the same time embroider her mind and theirs with gems of knowledge ; so she dressed them plainly. She could not indulge in an elaborate style of living, and have time to devote to their studies ; so she lived simply. Thus ever placing the spirit- ual above the physical, yet giving the phys- ical its full meed of attrition, she was able to prolong indefinitely the period of her own mental growth and foster wisely all the interests of her family.
