'Sp,i I.oier IWln-fin the Maxim, Make Uay While Ihe 8uu Shine. A novel courtship which has the flavor of the olden times took place recently in an Androscoggin town. An old gentleman, who had been very dependent upon his wife, and who seemed hardly able to do anything without her, was suddenly bereft of her by death. The daughter was full of gentle sympathy and took lit r fattier home with her. Everything possible was done for his comfort. When he was at home from the store he was not left alone a moment, for fear he would be lonesome. Six months after his wife's death he coolly announced that he was going to marry 'Jane in a week. In vain the daughter expostulated, only gaining a little longer time. Then she went to see Jane, a distant neighbor, who owned a farm, to find out if it was really so. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, she ventured to ask another question: When did my father ask you? He has hardly been left alone a moment! The intended of the aged lover, whose years were almost four score and ten, smiled. He did make the most of his opportunity, she'replied. He came here to get my firkin of butter, and as he was driving off he asked me to marry him. I said I could not decide so quickly. Tell me when I come again next week to bring hack your empty firkin, was his reply. So 1 told him yes' when he came with the firkin. Augusta (Maine) Journal. OliMistone's COnrtrsy. An incident which occurred at in the summer of 1SD0, is told as a beautiful example of Mr. Gladstone's courtesy. We borrow it from the London Chronicle. About 1,200 feet up the mountain was a small farmstead at which resided a woman more than 70 years old, who brought her weekly stock of provisions in a large basket up the steep ascent from Llanfairfechan village. One hot Saturday, soon after beginning the climb, she sat down to rest. Mr. Gladstone, who was sojourning in the neighborhood, was making the same climb, when he saw her, and the two entered into conversation. She chatted freely, and detailed the contents of her basket, whereupon Mr. Gladstone lifted it, and finding it heavy, offered to carry it for her. The offer was accepted, and the veteran statesman bore the basket to the whitewashed cottage, i car the summit. A party of tourists, approaching from the Druids Circle pass, respectfully saluted Mr. Gladstone, who. having set his load down at the old womans door, sjtrode vigorously across the mountain pass to Penmaenmawr. Did you know it was Mr. Gladstone who carried your basket? inquired one of me party. No, indeed; I don't know Mr. Gladstone, replied the old woman. But I know he is a kind gentleman, whoever he is. IIow to Save Leaking Ships. From the American Machinist: On the occasion of a ship springing a leak her pumps are set to work to gt the water out as fast as it comes in Instead of this it is suggested that air pumps be used to force air into the leaky compartment, and thus force the water back through the hole where it entered. There is, it is remarked, a means of expelling water from the filled compartments so obvious as to render it a matter of wonder that engineering skill has not put forward the plan, simply to close the hatches of the flooded compartments and drive the water out by forcing the air in, nor would it make the slightest difference how large the holes might be in the bottom, as the water would be expelled and kept out on the same prindiving-bel- l. ciple as the |
