An Englishman told how the women
of his native land took their dip apart
from the men and clothod in hideous
garments resembling nightgowns.
A Frenchman described the bare
legged frolics of the gay Parisian
Women summering by the sea.
An American explained how the sex
es , absolutely unclothed , enter the wa
ters of Japan , with nothing but bam
boo rods to mark the more or less im
aginary line dividing the men from the
women.
"Ah , " interposed the Englishman ,
"how immodest ! "
"Yes , perhaps , " observed a Chris
tianized Turk , who was of the party ,
"but in my country men and women
do the same , except that each man
and woman preserves modesty by
wearing a white mask. "
"Suppose , " said the American , "you
should wish to bathe without the
mask ? "
"Ah , " replied the Turk , "you must
wear the mask it is the bathing cos

NOT TILL DAY IS OVER.
Thou shalt not praise the day till night is fajling ,
However fair its dawn and noon may be ;
Ofttimes at eventide come storms appalling ,
Setting the lightning and the thunder free.
Thou shalt not blame the day till it is ending ,
Though It has brought thee flood and hurricane ;
Full oft at nightfall comes deep peace , descending
In sunset gold and roses , glorious gain.
Praise each fair morn that calls thee up from sleeping ,
And through the hot day work with all thy might ;
Then leave the evening hour in heaven's keeping ,
Which sent both winter cloud and summer light.

E quiet brats ! Don't disturb
I grandpa , " shouted Mrs. Oweii
to a company of boisterous
youngsters , who w ere evidently cele
brating for a festive occasion with
tarts and frolics.
"Let them enjoy their childish
pranks to-day , " said the kind-hearted
grandpapa , smiling.
"But they trample together the
whole carpet , the beasts ! " screamed
Mrs. Owen , on her uppermost treble ,
shoving and beating the youthful
group out of the room.
"What's the matter ? I've never be
fore seen you so angry with , the chil
dren , " said the old man.
"Don't mind the chits. I know well
enough how to manage them , if you'd
only not interfere/ '
"Humph ! " muttered he. reflectively.
Mr. Owen , who has here been inr.ro-
duced as an old man living with his
daughter-in-law , had recently been a
wealthy dealer in real estate. Feeling ,
however , that the strain and turmoil
of commercial life was acting injuri
ously on his superannuated niTves. ho
let himself be persuaded by Mr. Will-
iam Owen , his son. and Mrs. Amelia
Bay , his daughter , to retire from busi
ness and make them a donation of ail
his property. On tho very morning of
help you may hare given us ? You
ought to feel thankful to my kind hus
band for taking off your lazy shoulders
the burden of conducting your affairs ,
tor which you are mighty unfit , and
enabling you to loaf about here to your
heart's content you should be thank
ful , I tell you , instead of grumbling
and sulking all day long like an un
natural parent that you are. An old
man like you , already smelling of
grave-lilies , should have more sense
than that ! ' ! ' and with this she rushed
out of the chamber.
For full five minutes after her exit
Mr. Owen stood motionless ; then he
sank down upon a sofa. As if struck
by a thunderbolt , his nerves protracted
( he vision of a furious woman ejecting
flaming lava on his trembling heart
For a time he knew not how long ,
but it seemed an ae he kept staring
at the spot which she had occupied
and his mind was utterly bewildered ;
1/ut gradually and slowly he collected
himself and commenced to sift his
confused ideas. If he remained pas
sive , he feared he would soon be
shown out of the house , even as King-
Lear was. Yes ; his catastrophe was
remarkably parallel to that of the
King of Britain. His children were
exactly Goneril and Regan ; but , mused
' ' , ! ' ; 'nvr' 'VVi\V '

HE WAS DRESSED IN A COSTLY NEW SUIT OF CLOTHES.
the day on which the foregoing collo
quy was held a notary public had ac
knowledged the deed which Mr.'Owen ,
ns he was now complacently rocking
his armchair , thought had freed Him ,
once and for all , from the apparently
endless , exhausting labor attendant on
maintaining and advancing the ropute
of a modern large business house. Hav
ing ever been treated by his children
with high deference , and reposing en
tire reliance in their sincere magnanim
ity , and , as he fancied , thc-ir repeatedly
tried filial devotion , he was certain of
living henceforth as unconcernedly and
happily as a dove , until , like the noisy
river which may be traced to the tran
quil rillet , his dizzy , restless life should
expire in calm felicity and undisturbed
meditation.
These were his anticipations when
the sullen , arrogant tones of his daugh
ter-in-law's replies , contrasting with
her former gentleness and lovingncss ,
surprised him disagreeably , and all at
once he recollected the story of King
Lear. TTis fanciful day-dreams van
ished instantaneously , and , notwith
standing his severe efforts to the con-
tiary , thti appalling tale of that hap
less monarch haunted him so dismally
that he went and took from the
household library that famous drama
of the bard of Avon. Its perusal was
scarcely calculated to serve as a sooth
ing balm in his present situation , and
he wished that it were yet morning
and a certain act undone.
Nor were his apprehensions to be
unfulfilled. Day after day his chil
dren's behavior became more and mort >
gruff and imperious , while their con
sorts reached an alarming degree.
Coming one afternoon to the library
for King Lear , which , recognizing the
masterly insight of its author , he now
read almost daily , he found the door
locked. He inquired of Mrs. Owen
what was the matter , saying he de
sired the teagedy of King Lear. She
returned crustily , "that she did not
care to have the books dog-eared and
lurred ; besides , " she continued sar
castically , "he might spoil his eyes ,
If not also his mind , by reading so
much. "
"My mind must have been in dis
order for quite a time , " rejoined he ,
bitterly , "since I made a certain deed
of gift"
"What ! Ingrate ! " Mrs. Owen burst
out in a terrible rage. "Is this the
way you reward me for tending your
troublesome old person ? Is not our
taking you Into the house and feeding
you ample repayment for any paltry
he , shivering , "I have no Cordelia ! "
He could not therefore expect any
counsel or suggestion from that book ;
ho must think out his own course.
After contemplating and pondering for
half an hour , he seemed suddenly to
have been pfllated. His countenance
beamed up and hesarose with an ex
piration which was at once a sigh and
a smile ; his way lay open before him.
"I've given the old man a pretty
good scolding to-day , " said Mrs. Owen
to her spouse on the following evening.
"Did you ? " snufiled the dutiful son ,
languidly.
"To be sure I did. He has grown
unbearably morose and overbearing.
I am minded to have him move out. ' '
At this moment the object of their
discourse entered. He was dressed in
a costly new suit of clothes , and on his
lips fluttered a most benignant smile.
"Dear children , " said he , sweetly ,
"I've hired an apartment , where I in
tend to move to-night , and have come
to say good-by. "
"What ! " gasped the worthy couple ,
simultaneously ; "what's the matter ? "
"Nothing is the matter. Only , I pre
sume that the presence of tfn aged man
like ine msut make young folks uncom
fortable , and as Providence has morci-
fully seen fit to provide me with the
means , I propose not to intrude myself
on you any further. "
A thought flashed across Mrs.
Owen's shrewd mind , which she imme
diately whispered to her consort , and
instantly they were both on their knees
before the hoary fatherand , plunged
into violent entreaties of pardon and
promises of repentance. He listened
with equanimity , and , after multiplied
supplications and importunities , was
prevailed on to stay , saying , however ,
with a wistful smile , that "if at any
time they think they'd rather live
without him , they have merely to say
so , and he will depart with all his be
longings. " When nearing the last few
words Mrs. Owen nudged her husband ,
and then almost fell in a fainting fit ,
declaring it would henceforth be the
business of her life to nurse and cheer
her dear papa.
Coming the next day on a visit to
the Owen family , Mrs. Amelia Bay
was informed by her sister-in-law of
the proceedings of last night.
"But I don't quite see the reason
of your affecting such obsequious re
spect for the dotard. "
"You are simple-minded indeed.
Where could he get money to buy such
a suit of clothes and hire lodgings , had
he not retained a large part of his
property , and who knows but what it
was the larger part ? His ledgers , vou
know , were in a state of considerable
confusion , and he might have kept
some two or three hundred thous.'iml
dollars without anybody knowing it. "
From that time the Owens and the
Bays vied with each other in obtain
ing the good-will and , withal , the good
possessions of old Mr. Owen. They
deluged him with rare and precious
presents , which he would put away
nobody knew where ; but before long
the sagacious Mrs. Owen guessed that
he was placing them where he kept
his treasure , and that ultimately It
would all return to them. They conse
quently began to bestow attentions on
him with greater and greater fre
quency , waiting for their restoration
with more than compound interest.
One day he asked for a sum of money
which amounted to a moderate for
tune. They hesitated , but Mrs. Owen
affirmed that she observed he Avas
waning from day to day , and as this
was probably his last probation of
them , they would forfeit all by declin
ing to comply with the present re
quest. Still Mr. Bay faltered , but tho
Owens agreeing to give three-fourths
of the sum , the father at last received
the money , which went , as Mrs. Owen
asserted , to the mysterious place M here
he hoarded his vast treasures.
Eight months have worn on since
the incidents related above , when Mr.
Owen's family are gathered near his
death-bed. A gloomy hush reigns in
the chamber , while all eyes are fixed
on the cadaverous , grizzled head on
the pillow , whose heavy , irregular in
halation , like the tolling of a funeral
knell , heralds the proximity of death.
For some time previous , his unrest ,
together with brief. Indistinct exclama
tions , has shown that his memory has
been hovering amid the scenes of his
past life. At length his countenance
assumes a more placid aspect , his
feverish tosing ceases , his inspiration
ber-omes nearly inaudible , and it is evi
dent that the worn man is lingeringly
dying. Softly nearing the bedside.
Mrs. Owen , having caught his luster-
less eye. lisps in her gentlest notes :
' Dearest papa , haven't you , perhaps ,
something on your mind that you'd
like to impart on such a moment , that
your undoubted hopes of coming com
fort and bliss have made you forgot
something , for instance , touching a
will ? "
The half-dead features suddenly
gleam up , the emigrant from the tem
poral world , forcibly struggling a few
steps back from the boundaries of dis
solution , raises himself in bed , and
even something very like a sad smile
crosses his withered lips.
"Tes ta ta incut , " stammers he ,
with his last breath , "testament at
at Mr. Du Duban's. "
Mrs. Owen , highly displeased that
the testament should be in a stran
ger's iiands , although Mr. Duban is an
old friend of the Owens , makes a wry
face ; but it is of no ue protesting , for
old Mr. Owen is de d.
Hardly , however , had the corpse
grown cold , when both pious couples
hurried away to Mr. Duban's.
"To what happy luck , " met them
that gentleman , "am I indebted for
the pleasure of receiving such worthy
guests ? I hope my good old comrade
is better ? "
"We have come for his will , "
vociferated the flushed Ers. Owen.
"Our loved father has departed this
morning , " said Mrs. Bay.
"Mr. Owen dead ! And you here
about the will so soon ! "
"We'll hear a sermon next Sunday ,
but now we demand our father's testa
ment , " Mrs. Owen said impatiently.
Without another word , Mr. Duban
fetched a large sealed envelope and ,
with the concurrence of his vistors ,
unclosing it , took out a neatly folded
sheet of paper in which ho read ns fol
lows : "In the name of God , A-inen !
"I deem it unnecessary to proceed
[ p the legal style of a last will and
testament , as what I have to bestow
will probably be accounted of cheap
value by the legatees ; it is no more ,
indeed , than dearly bought advice ,
rhe best mode for impressing and em
phasizing this advice is , I think , by
[ elating the circumstances by which I
acquired it myself. When I perceived
that my children were getting tired of
me and disposed to treat me harshly ,
[ resigned myself to the Most Merci
ful , humbly and devoutly imploring
Him to protect and direct me in my
helpless old age. While thus praying
sue midday with more than usual fer
vor , because I had just undergone a
jreat indignity , I was suddenly struck
by an excellent idea at the time I
thought it an apocalypse. Obeying the
lieavcn-sont counsel , I borrowed a hun
dred dollars from a crony of mine , Mr.
Duban , and purchased a handsome suit
3f clothes and prepared to move out ,
thus making my daughter-in-law be-
icve that the poor old sugar-maple was
lot yet thoroughly drained. Thanks to
lieaven , the plan succeeded perfectly ;
[ was not only respected and afforded
svery enjoyment , but was showered
\vitli sums of money and other gifts
sll of which I have bequeathed on the
nome for Old Men.
"The moral of my tale is a warning
to everybody , never to part with his
estate while the soul yet keep the
body. Pardoning my children and their
spouses for whatever offenses they
have committed against me , and be
stowing on them my warmest bless
ings , I remain , their affectionate
father , N. OWEN. "
Followed by Mr. Duban's leerlnj
glances and smart chuckle , the disap
pointed company went back silently
and demurely to the Owen mansion.
On gaining which , Mrs. Owen heaved
i deep sigh and ejaculated :
"What a cunning old fox it wasl"

NERVES CURED ON THE SEA.
Work That Helps the Sufferer on
Board the Small Cruiser.
For nervous vpeople or people who
suffer from nervous dyspepsia or ex
haustion there is no other kind of life
which compares with that aboard the
small cruiser , Avhere the sufferer must
do some of the work about deck. But
there must be real work , not just lend
ing a hand on a line here and there.
Many things are to be borne In mind
by the amateur sailor when he de
cides to live for a time aboard a ves
sel as "owner and master. " First of
all , he must be philosophical. He must
not take a birdlike life too seriously.
Accidents and maritime dangers , such
as storms and collisions , must be look
ed out for , but not made into a night
mare to worry him. He must carry
away gear and perhaps a stick or two
now and then without getting on his
nerves. There is little danger in bad
weather if he uses ordinary judgment
in shortening sail and he must rein em
ber that only lunatics or worse carry
much sail in heavy squalls. His craft ,
will be quite uncapsizable under the
conditions she was designed to under
go. If he wishes 10 nave a craft that
will carry all sail in a black squall 01
a topsail in a gale he should get
ashore and join the rocking chair fleet.
There he may indulge in problems of
metacentric height to his heart's con
tent without danger to himself or
companions.
Neither should he be too particular in
regard to his personal habits. lie
should board the craft with the spirit
he had when he went on his first pic
nic and be ready to live in plain style.
This warning will be appreciated after
'an ' expensive steward brings him in
his first meal or two.
Canned goods need not be served
aboard yachts cruising in the waters
along the coast. He is a poor steward
who cannot furnish fresh beef , chops
and steaks , to say nothing of all kinds
of fish , at a moderate expense. Then ,
with rice , macaroni , hominy and some
of the numerous prepared foods , ho
will have a necessary variety without
opening his tins. They should be re
served for necessity when the market
has failed. With proper'stowing a
vast amount of good food may be
taken aboard and kept out of sight ,
yet always easy of access. Boston
