CsUHAM, K. C MB i i . I. 1 1 ii i .1, i ... I,.,, i. .. i NONA Some years ago I passed several weeks at a fishing village on the coast of Brittany. What a hole it iwas! But how picturesque ! Find ing myself in the vein for work, 1 lingered in this out of the way cor ner until the end of the month of September, which by a rare chance in rainy Finistere was that year ex ceptionally mild and clear. My most frequent promenade was along the beach, having on my right the bleak and rocky cliffs and on my left the uncovered stretches of sand an immense desert of sand left bare by the outgoing tide. Two or three times I had exchanged civil ities with some custom house offi cer going his rounds, his gun slung over his shoulder. I was so regular and peaceful a promenader that the sea swallows were no longer afraid of me and hopped in front of me, leaving the print of their star shaped feet in the wet sand. I walked six or eight kilometers a day and returned home with my pockets filled with those dainty shells which are found by burying the hand deeo uown in me aamp pebbles. This was my favorite excursion. However, on the days when a strong breeze was blowing and the tide was very high I abandoned the seashore, and, climbing the village street, I strolled along the sandy moor, or else I settled myself with a book on a bench in a corner of the cemetery, which was sheltered by the church tower from the west end. It was a lovely spot, conducive to Badness and reverie. The church tower stood out against the autumn sky, over which dark clouds were scurrying. . Crows, whose nests were in the steeple, flew out with their hoarse cawing, and the shadow of their large wings glided over the scattered tombstones, almost hidden in the grass. In the evening more than at any other time, the last rays of the set ting sun bathing the sea as though with blood, the ragged branches of ji j 1 i . 1 . the skeleton of an old apple tree silhouetted against the crimson sky and, the deep intense stillness of the wild home of the dead flooded my soul with melancholy. It wa3 on such an evening as have just described that, wandering among the tomos, many 01 wnicn bore under the sailor's name this mournful legend, "Died at sea," I read on a new cross the following words, which astonished and puz zled me: "Here reposes .Nona Le Maguet. Died at sea Oct. 26, 1878, at the aee of nineteen." Died at sea ! A young girl ! Wo men hardly ever go out in the fish ing boats. How did this happen? "Well, monsieur," said a grufl voice behind me suddenly, you are looking at poor Nona s tomb. T turned around and recognized an old sailor with a wooden leg I had aoquired by the aid of a few glasses of bran dy' which I had given him in the taproom at the inn "Yes," I replied. "But I thought that70u fishermen never permitted women to go out with you. I have even been told that they bring you misfortune." "And that is the truth," respond ed the good man. "Besides, Nona never went into a boat. Would you like to know how the poor little one died? Well, I will tell you. "First of all, 1 must tell you wav Pierre, her father, was a lopsmau, lilro Til vself. and an old comrade.

But Knnn could not be forced to believe other than the women had taught her and continued to burn candles at all the pardons in the neighboring towns) for the repose of her father's soul. "However, in spite of everything, time is a famous merchant of for getfulness, and Nona after a few years appeared to me to become somewhat reconciled. Besides, her grief had not prevented her from growing handsomer and taking a pride in herself, and it is not because I loved her like a father, but, upon my honor, she was the freshest and prettiest young girl in tho parish. 1 ue nveu no nuppiiy logeiner. we were not rich, to be sure, but we lived, and we enjoyed ourselves all the same. I had my pension and my medal, and then we used to go to gether to hunt for lobsters in the rocks. The trade is a paying one, and there is only one danger that of being overtaken by the tide. Ah, unfortunately that was how she met her death, poor little one! "One day when my rheumatism confined me to the house she went fishing alone. It was iust such a day as today, the sky clear, the wind high. When the rock searchers gathered together with full baskets they perceived that Nona failed to respond to their calls. There was no possible doubt. Great God, she had been delayed and surrounded by the rising tide! She had been drowned! Ah, what a night I pass ed, monsieur! At my age, yes, a hard hearted man like me, I sobbed like a woman. And the remem brance came - to me of the poor child's belief that" to go to heaven she must be interred in consecrated ground. Therefore as soon as the tide went down I went to the shore and, with the others, searched for the body. "And we found poor Nona," con tinued the old sailor in a trembling voice. "We found her dn a rock covered with seaweed, where, know ing that she was going to die, the poor little one had prepared herself for death. Yes, monsieur, she had tied her skirts below the knees with her fichu, through modesty, and with her old idea' uppermost had at tached herself to the seaweed by her hair, her beautiful black hair, certain that she would thus be found and interred in consecrated ground, And I can sav, 1, who know what braverv is. that there is perhaps not a man brave enough to do likewise." The old man was silent. iy tne last gleam of the twilight I saw two great tears rolling down his weath er beaten cheeks. We descended to the village side by siderm silence. I was profoundly touched by this sim ple girl s courage, wno, even in tne agonies of death, had retained the modesty of her sex and the piety of her race, and before me in the dis tant immensity, in the solitudes of the heavens and the sea, gleamed out the beacon lights and the stars. Oh, brave men of the seal Oh, noble Brittany! From the French of Francois Coppee. THE STEAMBOAT. Anr.iant Craft That Suggested the Modern Monarch of the Sea. The first steamboat was built by Dennis Papin, who navigated it safely down the Fulda as long ago as 1707. Unfortunately this pio neer craft was destroyed by jealous snilnm. and even the very memory of it was lost for three-quarters of a century. In 1775 Perrier, anoth er Frenchman, built an experimen tal steam vessel at Paris. Eight years later, in 1783, Jouffroy took up tne idea that had been evolved by Pa pin and Perrier and built a steamer, which did good service for some time on the Saone. Tko first American to attempt to apply steam to navigation was John Fitch, a Connecticut mechanic, who made his initial experiments in the year noo. 10 wu m was indebted to the three illustri ous French inventors named above we are not informed, but that his models were original there is not the least doubt. In the first he em ployed a large pipe kettle for gener ating the steam, the motive power being. side paddles worked af ter the fashion of oars on a common row boat. In the second Fitch craft the same mode of propulsion was adopt ed with the exception that the pad dles were made to imitate a revolv ing wheel and were '-fixed to the stern, clearly foreshadowing the present stern wheeler. - -This last mentioned boat was the first American steam vessel tnaican be pronounced a success. It made iU first trip to Burlington in July, 1788. But, after all, it wss not un til after the opening of the present century that steam navigation start ed inti actual life. In 1807 Robert Fulton, who every school . child knows was an American, in conjunc tion with one Bobert R. Livingston, built the Clermont and established a regular packet service between New York and Albany. , The success of this undertaking was so satisfactory that four sew boats were built -before the end of 1811. at least two of them being de signed for service in other rivers.

Skinner in Atlantic. Didn't Eat Perk. It happened in a crowded railway carriage. A very fat and bump tious man was making a general nuisance of himself to the other oc cupants of the carriage, explaining in a loud voice his cuteness and sue cess in most things. Some of the people in the carriage smiled pity ingly, some merely, lookebored, but one solemn individual eyed the fat boaster with a stony and immov able stare. The latter at last be came uneasy under this unwinking scrutiny and, turning to the man, said blusteringly: "Well, what yer looking at me like that for? Want to eat me?" "No," was the crushing rejoinder. "I'm a Hebrew." London Answers. Willing to Do His Part. An old farmer, says the St. James Budget, once took tea with a for mer Duke and Duchess of Buc cleuch at Drumlanrig castle, his grace's Dumfriesshire estate. His first cup of tea waa gone al most before the duchess had poured it out. Again and again his cup was passed along to the head of the table. At the sixteenth cup the duchess became uneasy about the supply on hand. "How many cups do you take, John ?" she asked. "How mony do ye gier John asked cannily. Alphabetically Answered.

"If you are suffering from insom nia," said the old school doctor to the patient, "just lie down, prop your head on a pillow and get some one to take hold of your throat, pressing gently with the fingers on each side, and youH soon fall asleep." But the next day when he asked the young man if he had followed instructions the latter replied ffloomilv: "No. I didn't There was nobody at home but me and the mother-in-law, and I couldn't quite make up my mind to risk letting her get that hold on me.

According to the account of Philadelphian . recently returned from Newfoundland, there is a rail road in that remote island which as a unique system of backwoods transportation far eclipses anything to be met with in the most inacces sible mountain districts of the Unit ed States. In the first place, it ii very possibly the largest narrow gauge railroad in the world. It is a complete and comprehensive sys tem, embracing over, 640 miles 01 track, not one yard of which is ol standard width. Its main line is fairly transcontinental in scope and crosses the entire island from east to west, running between St. John's and Portaux-Basques. Despite its many disadvantages, including pernaps tne mosi cneer fully independent management in the world, the road, which was .only completed in 1898, is of -the utmost benefit to the people of Newfound land. The Beid-Newfoundland rail way, as it is called; after B. 0. Keid, its builder and now almost its sole owner, has one definite and marked peculiarity it doesn't guarantee anything. With an almost con temptuous regard for schedules it neither vouches for the safety of the passengers, the time of arrival or departure or even that the trains will go at all. As an illustration of these little idiosyncrasies here is an 'actual conversation that took place in St. John s last August between the ticket agent and a prospective passenger: Prospective Passenger What time does the morning train leave here for Topsail?

For Herbert Spencer the minds of lunatics had an odd 1 fascination. Mr. Spencer was a frequent visitor to a number of asylums, and he re counts some unconscious witticism of a lunatic.
