A GRIEVOUS COMPLAINT.

That loses tny nife for me.

Sewed extra heavy and strong. I'd want alKiut a dozen or so, All easy and quick to get at And I should be perfectly happy, 1 know.

"I've lost my pepper pot," said Deborah, looking sliurply about the kitchen. ••I wonder if you've been up to any of votir tricks, .Tim?" .fim gave no answer except a toss of vlie head its lie slowly walked across the kitchen, but Deborah's quick1ears caught little chuckle as he went out the door. ••I'll give it to you some day, you young rascal, if you carry away my things!" went on Deborah, shaking her fot at the little fellow. "What's the matter, Deborah?" asked her mistress, coming into the kitchen. •'Oh, it's that Jim! He's always up to mischief. It comes nateral to that O'psvish sort to be tricky and sneaky, and there's no such thing us gettin' 'em out of it." "If it's natural to them we ought to make some allowance for it," said Mrs. Graham, with a smile, as she helped Deborah to hunt for the missing pepper pot.
,rN"o
use a-liarborin' such, seems to
lue," said Deborah. ••May be so," said Mrs. Graham, "but none of us somehow seems to have the heart to drive him away." "I have," said Deborah very decidedly. "Look-a-there now—a everlastin1 tease!"
The two watchift Jim as with a roguish twinkle in his small black.eyes he made his way to where old Carlo was taking liis morning nap under the lilac bush and gave him a sudden poke. Tin dog raised his head with a growl, but Jim stood at alittle distance, with a itravt and innocent look at something on the'ground,
Carlo settled dowti again, and quick n- lightning T!:» gave him another jifflte. Up jumped Carlo, with a savage lwfc at his tormentor, but Jim stood in he fame place, half asleep, and Carlo lay down with a long drawn sigh. .Tim \-.-pt it up until the poor dog went to tiiid a quieter place.
I've seen him do tllut it doiieii times." Mid Deborah laughing, "ilnd I know lies hidden my pepper pot. Why, it ain't so long since 1 read a story about one o' that set—must 'a' been first cousin to Jim I reckon that stole a elegant breastpin, and it was laid to a poor young girl that worked in the family, film was disgraced and turned oft, and ever so long after it was found 'out that that creetur'd been the thief, I've
no
use for such!" And so Pvery member of the. family (imiM "nave declared, but no one. would jft the one to say thaiI.-Mm must go. In the course of a long xlrive over country roads through heavy storm the farmer bud found .Tim drenched and half flarvi-d. Of course he brought him In Hue, and alter being warmed, fed and made comfortable the wild eyed, dark looking little vagabond had wisely settled himself in such good quarters, and had since showed no desire to leave them.
"Yon can come and help me peel the peaches now, Marian!" called Mrs. Graham to her daughter.
Marian came, looking admiringly at the biiskcts of rosy cheeked, downy fruit on the great table, all of which was waiting to be tnado into peach butter. '•Is that your peurl ring?" asked her mother. "Oh—yes. I was clearing my drawer and put it on to see how pretty it looks and forgot it. I'1! take it off."
The pre' worked for hours over the pew.. taring, stoning, mens tiring out gugr. rring and tasting. At length she skipped up to her room to dross, but GOOU came running back with mi anxious face.
My ring, Deborah! I left it on the corner of the table—back liore. Have Jon seen it?" "The land. Miss Marian! No, I ain't. And I've just this blessed minute scrajwd tip idl the peelin's and flung 'em out to the pigs."
With tears in her eyes Marian ran out to the lot in which the pigs were kept, and searched eagerly. But the fcfrv.uters bad made quick work of their luscious meaJ, and no ring was to be found. More slowly she went back, and looked about, the kitchen with ft forlorn hope that the ring might have escaped. Bnt Deborah's scraping had been vigor oils, and she went upstairs again with a woebegone look.
She's a dreadful careless little piece." said Deborah, looking after her. "always a-leavin' her things 'round. But 1 ain't a-goin' to say it to her now she's a-feelin' so bad."
"Ha, ha—you thievin' rascal! I've caught von at last, ain't IV" Mrs. Graham and Marian hurried out at sound of Deborah's excited voice to see Jim struggling in her grasp. He was uttering short., angry cries and doing his best to free himself. "1 was just a-washin' my dishes," cried Deborah, "when this limb comes a-peek-iu* and a-pryin' 'round. 1 mistrusted he was up to somethin', an' I kep' my eye on him and seen him pick up one o' my teaspoons and sneak off with it. I took after him, and just got hold o' him right here—see? He was just a-slippin' that spoon into that hole fer to hide it!"
Mrs. Graham looked curiously at the
hole, a small one near the ground in the weather boarding of the spring house. "Bring an ax and knock that olT. Deborah." slie said.
Deborah did so. and the vitrei' bent over what tliey saw. "I'm blessed if there ain't my pepper pot!" exclaimed Deborah.
More than the peppur pot was there. Keys, nails, screws, a button hook, a gimlet, and as they turned them over Marian gave a scream of delight and snatched up her pearl ring.
Then she made a quick rush for Jim, and hugged and fondled him until he bit her to make her lot him go, when he flew to the top of the spring house, and stood there chattering his discontent at such rough handling. "You dear old crow!" exclaimed Marian. "If you hadn't stolen my ring off the table that day I never should have seen it again. Oh, Deborah, you have pulled out half his tail feathers!" "Nevermind," said Deborah: "they'll grow again."—Sydney Day re in Youth's Companion. ,•

Tens of thousands of pounds of capital have to be sunk ere a single 111 ton gnn can be manufactured. A particular reason for its being costly to make is that its production consumes a great amount of time. To build such a gun takes as long as to build a first class cruiser. Yet another reason lies in the fact that there are many and inevitable failures, which entail great waste of labor, if not of material.
The 111 ton guns, without their mountings, cannot be produced or sold to the government for much less than £15,000 apiece, the 07 ton guns for less than about £10,800 or the 45 ton guns for less than £6,800, and the expense of firing these guns, apart from the wear and tear of the weapons, mountings and ships, may be judged from the amount of powder and the weight of projectile used. In the case of the 111 ton gun the full powder charge is pounds of slow burning cocoa' or 8"0 pounds of Westphalian brown prism, and the projectile weighs l,CiJ0 pounds.
In the case of the 07 ton gun the full powder charge of slow burning cocoa is 030 pounds, while the projectile is of 1,250 pounds weight. In the case of the 45 ton gun the full charge of brown prismatic powder is 295 pounds, and the projectile weighs 714 pounds. The estimated cost of one round from the largest gun is about £80, from the second about £50 and from the smallest about £"i0 but this is the cost of powder, cartridge and projectile only.—London Tit-Bits.
A
Singular Uvntul Operation,
Anson Washburn, the 14-year-old son of Austin Washburn, of the Bee line., sat in Dr. ,T. B, Morrison's office leading a paper and fanning himself unconcernedly. I-Ie has passed through one of the most remarkable operations known in 0.&ntal surgery. When In: was about, years of age ho had an attack of scarlet fever that «&used the retention of four teeth tort the right side of the upper jaw. Dr. Morrison made an exploration and ffnVnd the teeth and drew two of them down. One of them did not require much attention, except careful watching.
When exploring for the eye tooth he found it between the hard palate and the floor of the nose, pointing toward the loft jaw. The tooth was imbedded in a sack of pus, and the must careful treatment was needed in removing the pus and to prevent it: from aggravating the cut parts anil causing blood poison. The tooth and its bony attachments were cut loose, carefully cleaned of all foreign substances and placed in -heir proper position. The central incisor was kept out of the boy's mouth for two and a half lionrs. The teeth that were changed about are growing nicely, and young Washburn said that he is suffering no pain, no inflammation has set in and his teeth are in good condition, lie was thoroughly under the influence of ether during the operation. The operation is out of the ordinary.—Indianapolis News.

Sweet odors for the bath and the toilet are of three kinds—the floral, the aromal and tlio balsamic. The first includes those derived from sweet smelling flowers and plants, the second those derived from musks and resins, the third thosif derived from leaves and gums. The otto, or essential oil. of perfumes is obtained in three several ways—distillation, maceration and enflourage.—New York Ledger.

Siii£u):ti' I*ro|M»itl«'s of th«» Number Niiii*. Some curious properties in number.-* have been noticed which are well enough known to mathematicians as the necessary result of certain laws, but which at first appear utterly mysterious.
The l*\st known of these is the singular property of the number nine, when multiplied by any one of the digits, to reproduce itself in the product.
Twice P, for example, ts IS, and these two figures, Sand 1, make *J. If this happened to be one or two multiples only it would be less marvelous, but it happens to all, wit one equally remarkable exception.
Nine times 11 equals W, and the product of these figures is 81: but then 8 plus 1 equals 1), so thufl the law holds, but a step is interposed, and that step consists of two nines instead of one.
