has a right to a barrel, for which she

when they first be'iu to "inn," bring
forty cents a dozen when retailed through

teeth are we I ge-sluij o I, and by a won

them can fil ly, the inner pal I is found
to he i f a soft, ivory-like ci'iupositinii,
which can easily be worn away, and the
outside i, compos l i a glass-like en

upper teeth work into the under so that
the cent res nf the opposed teeth meet
perfectly in the act of Ulwiiig, hence
the soft part is being continually worn
away, while Ihe hard put keeps a sharp,
chise!-';ike edge all the time, and at the

growing up from the l o t. nil, so that as

Ick Iivm in a luge limi on the
ink ol 11 river, quite near the sea. 1 'ii"
I V'Ty warm siimm -r day , l;ck s mother
was asleep in a chair on tlie piazza, and
lie, after p',a lug a while 011 the lawn,
Mil down the path which I. I to tie
river, wln re (he boat, wiih is gay,
striped awning and 1 u-hi ..ne I seats, 1 1
li a I ioil ul water on I In- In .nil.
I'ck romped about 011 tin- soil, w aim
sand for a wiule, 1 h.i,,iig ihe bulb ill 1
which llilled up ami down the beach;
uml watching tlie liitl" Hashing wave .
wh eli plashed gently on the shore, com- I
ing ll' iiier and liean 1 with the slowly
rising tide.
I'retly soon In- cliinbed into the hod
and settled himself among (he soft cush
ions in the stern.
It was very warm in the -iin. an I Dick
thoroughly enjoyed th" cuil IneeZ.'
which whispeie l among tin-overhanging
branches an t mill -d the wider iulo the
w.ivi b is which p'-isle d a in-rry s nig
against Ihe boat's side,
l'lihap! Nature's gentle niii-'i- made
liim drowsy - perhaps hick wa, sleepy
any way however it may have been, the
fact remains he presently iir. Vl him-eH
up on the cu-biieis and fed fa-t a,!ei p.
Waking slid deny, he found hinisell
sprawling en the bottom of the boat,
which was pitching and lolling in a
most unpleasant fashion.
.1 limping quickly lo the seat again, and
look n . about him, his p-mr little
heart stood almost ,t ll with terror to find
that the boat was far away from laud,
and tossing up and down on the waves
of the bay.
l'oor little Dili was utterly lielples--to
be sure, the oars were in th" b nil,
1 ill lie could not low, nor sw im, a sin
gle stroke. lie cried awhile, and called
us loll lly as he could, I n nobody heard,
nobody c.-iiiie to re-cue him. N 1 sound
could be beard but the wash 11 of the
waves, and 111 nule by no- ul.: the land
gn-w fah.ler and" fainter, Ihe big lius0
on the hilt grew smaller and s n:iller.
I'ye-and-bye, tired of calling, and
looking across Ihe dizzy, rc'tbss waste
of waiter, Dick lay down on the bolt
nf tiie boat and was soon asleep again.
How long he slept he could tint tell,
but he was sii Ideiily and rudely awak
ened .again, by a hand which seized him
by the nape of the neck and lilted him
out of the boat into .another, larger one,
full nf sailors in blue, while a glial,
rough vice cried : "A wee little cat, I
declare!"
Dick and the boat reached homo in
safety, and without fun Icr incident,
and to this dav, although Ii" is a grown
up, sedate old cat, be i, iiiit.- silisfi .1
to let this rcuiain Ins onlv mm voyage,
