labout the first wedding that she had;
ever attended,' and she felt the Impor
tance of the occasion very much. After,
the ceremony she noticed that the peo!
pie went up to the bride and groom andji
made remarks to them. She supposed)
that they were words of congratul
tton or condolence or something of thstj
sort, but her ideas of the proper tbindf
to, say under the circumstances were a
little vague. Finally she whispered to
an old friend of the family who was
nearby: : . . .

MOh just anything to show them that

- In a few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the nappy con
pie were receiving the congratulations.
There was quite a crowd around, but")
she didn't mind . them one bit. ' She
marched straight np to the bride and,
extending her hand, said: ' v
"I wish yon many happy returns of

"When I was a young man,'' said a
San Francisco artist, "a friend of mine
who returned from China brought
home a lot of pearl shells beautifully
etched or engraved with figures 'and
landscapes on the Inside of the shells.
I did not marvel so much at the en
graving as I did at the cheapness of
the shells. I couldn't help thinking
that some of the engravings must have
taken a day or two to make, and yet
they sold for little or ' nothing, , my
friend said. ; ,
"On my request he made an Investi
gation of the subject and discovered
that the Chinese had used the follow
ing plan: Instead of graving the pic
ture into the hard shell,, an operation
that would have been laborious and
Blow, the Chinese drew the sketch on a
little scrap of tea lead and inserted it
into tie pearl oyster shell when it Was
tender. The Inside of the shell In this
manner got an impression of the sketch1
from the tea lead picture, and as soon
as it was sufilclently well printed the
Chinese would take the lead out and
insert It in another shell, and so on,
That's how the caned sheila came ta
be 6o cheap or at least that was the
exrlanatlon that was made to me by
my friend."

seemed riveted on something not far

The joy of pursuing the woodchuck j
is a part of the happiness of rural life.
The boy is lacking in physical develop
ment and in numerous mental and
moral qualities growing out of the ex
perience who has not spent a day pour
ing water down a -woodchuck hole on
.the hillside with a view to drowning j
out the occupant. This is said to re
fresh the woodchuck, , and, as for the
boy, it toughens his muscles as no com
pulsory labor could do, and it cultivates
patience, hope and persistency. . Given
a good brookf an ampla hole and an in
dustrious boy, a full day's work on the
outside and a complacent woodchuck
on the inside may be safely guaran
teed. Hartford Couxant.
