I happened in ft home last night, and over the door saw the legend worked in letters of red: "What is Home Without a Mother." Across the room was another brief desire: "(iod Bless our Home." Now what's the matter with "God Bless Our Had." He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egs, grabs his dinner pail, and wipes the dew of the dawn with his hoots while many a moth er is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand-out for the benefit of the grocer, milkman, butcher and baker, and his little pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour'he stands off the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up. If Johnnie needs a new pair of boots " 'cause he's just walking on the ground," dad goes down in his dip and conies up with the price of a hard day's sweat. If Mary needs a new ribbon for her hack hair, mother yearns for a new wrapper, and the baby yells for a rattle, down goes dad again and up comes the coin. But if he buys a new pipe for a quarter because the old one was getting kind of strong, he is warn ed that smoking is an expensive habit and that men have smoked up blocks and farms and happy homes. When show times arrive dad conies up with the price, and ma goes out with the neighbors, and Flora sparks her beam in the par lor. Dad's clothes ain't none too good and grime will stick, so he sits in the kitchen with the kids. If there's a noise during the night he is kicked in the back, and made to go down stairs and find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, yes, she does, but dad bought the socks in the first place, and the needle and yarn afterwards, Mother does up the fruit. Well, dad bought it all and jars cost like the mischief. Dad buys chicken for the Sunday dinner, carves it himself, and draws the heck from the ruins after every one else is served. 'What is Home Without a Mother?" Yes, that is all right. But what is home without father? Ten to one it is a boarding house, father is under a slab, and the landlady is the widow. Dad, here's to you! You've got your good points and they'll miss you when you're gone. Ex. A Womani Awinl Peril.

The representatives of the princi pal Australian papers were taken out to sea about 50 miles from Brisbane in the pilot boat, to meet Mrne. Mclba, on September Hi. She was tiaveiing from Canada to Australia by the mail steamship Miowcra. While the pilot boat was waiting for the .Miowcra the .-hip's company had a remarkable and probably unprecedented ex perience. A great gray shark about 12 feet in length, was hook ed on a sebnapper line, which broke. A second time the. big fish got on the schnapjier line and es caped. Then a large sharp hook with a chain was thrown out, and the ravenous brute grabbed it and was caught. All hands, pilots, eook and pressmen, tugged the shark to the vessel's side. A huge hook on the anchor sido was put through his jaw and one eye, and the fish was then hauled out of the water. One of the crew ripped the monster 0en from the head to the tail. The vital organs nnd en trails were thrown overboard, and then both jaws were hacked out for the sake of securing the teeth Nothing hut the shell of the fish remained, and the shark was low ered overboard. A rush was made to the side to see him sink, but the comgany was astounded to see the lish make off. First he swam 50 yards away, returned to the steamer, then went off on another tack for about HO yards, came back to the vessel and swam astern, and was still swimming when he was lost sight of. That the fish could swim away when the whole of his interior from head to tail and the jaw and one eye was gone simply raised the hair of the pilots and crew, who had never seen or heard of the like before.

A dam 400 feet long at the bot tom, GO feet high, and 7;!0 feet long at the top would make a lake of Silvies Valley which lies 20 miles north of Hums. The lake would lie miles in length; it would average 1 J miles in width; it would hold an average depth of 30 feet of water. It would be fed by the streams that drain 12 town ships of high mountain lands, which receive the heaviest snow fall of this region. There are said to be in all 17 of these streams, and they reach up to the summit of the southern spur of the Blue Mountains. Any person can easily believe that all that mountain re gion would dampen the outside limits of the lake in one flood Bra son and furnish a constant and adequate supply of water for the rich soil of Harney Valley. Mr. Johnson surveyed two sites for dams. They are miles apart, the one above referred to being at the lower extremity of the valley. It is the one which he is now engaged in demonstrating, and its capacity is entirely inde pendent of any necessity for the second dam. Mr. Johnson says it can be built and maintained with absolutely no danger of excava tion. Mr.' Johnson says that the site he investigated is such that it would be almost impossible to find another that would equal it. Its scope is magnificent in proportion to the exiiense of labor and capital involved in the question of con struction. Its proximity to build ing material is important. There will be no patching of weak walls, for the point of least resistance was long ago found by nature, and when that shall have been walled with masonry, the limpid gem will lie locked securely in the heart of the mountains. And agriculture will hold the key to its treasure. Itudyard Kipling has declined to permit the Ladies' Picliif So ciety of Oakland to publish a cal endar containing excerpts from his works.
