They determined to become t bandits, and they prevailed on several of ' their school fellows to join them. The average age of the band was thirteen. They inaugurated their defiance of the law 'by tMtiily pUiying truant, and then they took reduce in the wilds of the Grunewald, wnere, in true brigand fashion, they hid themselves. After a night passed in this fashion they felt the pangs of hunger, and consequently 'they sallied forth at an early hour and -aeixed the milk cans aud baskets of new rolls which siail Ireenhjftat the doors of the neighboring villas.

God grant that many as great, aud who shall as wisely love their country, may fol low him." A Dublin paper heard that "the health of Mr. Parnell has latterl) taken a very serious turn, and that fears of his recovery are entertained by hia friends."

Opinions are much divided as to the eflicacy of "spanking," so called. There are mothers who pride themselves on "never laying a hand" upontheirshildren. and the flat has gone forth among educat ors that tbe teacher unable to manage her class without a resort to corporal punish ment aoes not ueserve to be a teacner. Well, all can think as they please of course, out mere are certainly times with children and moods in children which call for a genuine old fashioned spanking as a means of grace. As not a few mothers can testify from actual experience, bad tempera and naughty ways have often been "nipped in the bud" by a little physical pain administered just at the right time. ine uoctor s wife" in Leisure Hours. When Walking for Eaereuw. In taking exercise It is better to be lifted away from the thought, "This is for my noaitn. Herein ties tne value of connect ing with it genial companionship, exhila rating sport, delightful scenery, varying views, or errands of mercy. It is true that we are often shut up to exercise aa the sole end, but even then wo may increase its worth by a little thought. A walk along the river course, orthrougb fields and over hills, however familiar the scenes may be, is more helpful than one through a long. dull lane or a squalid suburb. Youth's Companion .

Bands Mini Be Biesedtngly Skillful to Hew the Costly Haequea of Fur. In the summer and autumn there Is plenty of work for seal finishers or girls who know how to sew sealskins and other furs. The employment of girls in this sort of work ia comparatively recent. A few years ago the cutting and sewing of fur skins were mainly done by men. Some times a man would teach hia wife or bis daughter, but the men monopolised the best work and earned good wages. There Is a skin cutter now working aa a journey man in this city who Is said to be worth tld.OUO, and yet works his regular hours. He lies Introduced several generations of his family into one or another branch of the busiuew Of late years the sharp competition which has got Into the fur business aa well as other lines of trade has led to in-, creased employment of females as sewers. The work is nice, and requires a good deal of skill. The smooth, even cult,- of a lady's new sealskin sacque is not produced with out a good deal of patient skill aud dex terity. Of course skina do not come per fect. There are slight blemishes that need to be corrected. The skillful cutter takes a akin aud blows the hair aside until ha can see the roots all over the akin. If he finds a spot that Is bare of hair he must select a piece of skin to tit it, and the hair must be exactly of the right length to fit On a seal the hair near the tall is shorter than the hair near the head. Of course a piece of fur from near the tall will not fit in a bare spot near the bead of a skin. The cutter has a peculiar method of shaping the pieces to bo set in, ami tlua must be understood by the glrla who do the sew ing, so that a girl who baa worked at the busiuesa becomes an expert, and a girl who has not served an apprenticeship at sewing turn la of little use in the shop. It Is not an unusual thing for one large establishment to have fifty or sixty girls sewing furs In the busy season in summer. The most expert girls readily get employ ment the year round, while those who are less expert arc the first to lie discarded, and go from shop to shop. The wages earned ia somewhat hlglwr than the prices paid for ordinary sewing, as tbe business is somewhat unhealthy and requires consid erable skill. The girlseam from W a week upward. Frequently when fur bouses ad vertise for help girls apply who are totally Ignorant of the business, and pretend that they know how, but they are soon found out and discharged.

During a year of ordinary labor they average from four to six cents a day, although In special years, when there la a greater demand for their varieties of lace, they sometimes earn from twenty to sixty cents a day. New York Evening Sun. Big Partridge Story. I A western journal relates the following: A few mornings ago Thomas Trees went down the creek from his father's house to examine some traps he hail set. While In specting the traps he heard his dog mak ing an unusual noise some distance below him. On going to the dog he found him lying on the ground and partridges stick ing out all around his body. Tbe dog bad found a dock, aud alighting in the midst bad pinioned ten, but when he rose up eight of them escaped, he still holding two with his paws. Thomas secured the two partridges the others all escaping. This is an extraordinary feat for a dog, and only needed a word from the young man to have secured the whole of the birds originally captured by the dog. . Why They Are Called Alligator.

They derive their name from the fact that alligators are very fond of them, and get a plentiful supply by standing on thslr beads and knocking the fruit off the limbs of the tree with their tails.
