WHAT A VOLCANO CAN no.

Cotopaxi, in 1888, threw its fiery rockets
5000 feet above its crater; while in 1854, the
blazing mass, struggling for an outlet, roared
so that its awful voice was heard distance of
more than six hundred miles In 1892 the
crater of Tungaragua, one of the great peaks
of the Andes flung out torrents of mud, which
damned up rivers, opened new lakes, and in
valleys of l 900 feet wide made deposits of
600 feet deep. The stream from Vesuvius,
which in 1877 passed through Tore del Gre
CO. contained $4,000 900 cubic feet of solid
matter; and in 1913, when Tore del Greco
was destroyed a second time, the mass of lava
amounted to As 900 900 cubic feet In 1850,
Etna poured forth food which covered 81
square miles of surfacace, and measured
nearly 100, 900 900 cubic feet. On this occa-
sion the sand and scoria formed the Monte
Rosini, near Nieholosa, a cone two miles in
circumference, and 4 900 feet high. The
stream thrown out by Etna in 1910 was in mo-
tion, and at the ratesct yard day, for nine
months after the eruption ; and it is on record
that the lava of the same mountain, after a
terrible eruption, was not thoroughly cold
and conso lidated ten years after the event.
In the eruption of Vesuvius, A. D, 70, the
scoria and ashes vomited forth far exceeded
the entire bulk OF the mountain; while in
1860 Etna disgorgedjmore than twe ntyItimesits

as Constantinople, Syria and Egypt it hurled
stones, eight pounds in weight, to Pompeii, a
distance of six miles, while similar masses
were tossed up 1000 feet above its summit
Cotopaxi has projected a block 100 cubic
yards in volume, distance of niue miles;
and Sunbawa, in 1915, during the most terri BILE

SPEAK GENTLY.

Oh. never let an unkind word
Escape with harshness from thy tongue,
There's many broken, feeling heart
Hath sadly from its accents wrung.
Though. even shades of seeming guilt
May Ger thy brothers footsteps pause,
Thou can'st not tell, what circum tance
Hath wrought, unseen, the awful change.
Thou cans't not tell, the copious tears
In humble penitence he shed.
And while thou scorn'st, pure angel forms
May watch around his midnight bed.
Rem ember, on. how short is life,
How few the words thou may st impart
Then let them ne'er in discord chime
Upon the tender, loving heart.
The angry word, when once tits said.
Ten thousand worlds could not recall
Then, let it never wound heart:
Speak gently, kindly unto all.

THE DOMESTIC OPERA.

Since the night that Ike went to the opera,
he has been, as Mrs. Partington says, as crazy
as bed bug, and the kind old dame has been
fearful lest he should become ssnon pompous
mentus" through his attempt at initiating the
operates. The next morning after the opera.
at the breakfast table, Ike reached over his
cup. and in soft tongue sang

Help me to a cup of tea I
The old lady looked at him with surprise,
his conduct was unusual, and for nome mt
she hesitated. He continued in far more
impassoned strain

She gave him the tea with a sigh, as she
saw the excitement in his face. He stirred it
IN silence, and in his abstraction took three
spoonfuls of sugar. At last he sang again
Table cloths, and cups and saucers,
Good white bread and active jaws, sirs,
Tea-guapowder and souchong-
Sweet enough but not too strong,
Bad for health to eat hot biscuit
But I'll risk it-butter'll fix it.
"WLat do you mean, my boy ~ said Mrs
Partington, tenderly.

Never loved breakfast dearer,

So don't fret your precious gizzard
"But, Isaac" persisted the dame. Ike
struck his left hand upon the table, and swung
his knife aloft in his right, looking at plate
upon the table, singing

SINGULAR FIDELITY OF A DOG ON THE BATTLE
FIELD.-On Mouday after the battle, as Hon
John Covode, in company with number of
officers, was passing over the battle field be.
yond Frederick sburg their attentio was ca l.
led to a small dog lying by corpse. Mr..
Covode halted a few minutes to see i life was
extinct. Raising the coat from the man s
face, he found him dead. The dog, looking
wishfuly up, ran to the dead mans face and
kissed his silent lips. Such devotion in
small dog was so singular that Mr.. Covode ex-
amined some papers upon the body, and found
it to be that of Sergent W. H. Brown, Compa-
ny c, Ninety first Peunsylvan
The dog was shvering with the cold, but
refused to leave his masters body, and as the
coat was thrown over his face agair he seemed
very uneasy, and tried to get under it to the
mans face. He had, it seems, followed the
regiment into battle, and stuck to his master,
and when he fell renamed with him. refusing
to leave him or to eat anything. As the party
returned an ambulance was carrying the
corpse to little grove of trees for iuterment,
and the little dog following, the only mouFner
at that funeral, as the hero's comrades had
been called TO some other point.

WONDERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE,

that it exists at ALL and the great bulk of man
kind never realize the truth that they are
bathed in an ocean of air. It's weight is so
| enormous that iron shivers before it like lass,
yet a soap ball sails through it W ith impunity
and the tiniest insect waves it aside with its

We touch it not, but it touches US. It's warm

the fevered brow and makes the blood mantle
to our cheeks; even its north blasts brace in
to new vigor the hardened children of our
rugged climate.
The eye is indebted to it for all the magnif-
cence of sunrise, the brightness of midday
the chastened radiance of the morning, and
the clouds that cradle near the setting SUM-
But for it, the rainbow would want its sstrium-
phant arch'' and the winds would not send the
heecy messengers on errands around the heay-

gather on the towers. The kindly rain would
never fall, nor hailstorm nor fog diversity the
face Of the sky our naked globe would turn
its tanned and unshadowed forehead to the
sun, and one dreary, monotonous blaze of
light and heat dazzle and burn up all things
Were there no atmosphere, the evening
sun would in moment set, and, without war

the air keeps in her hand a shield of her rays.
and let's them slip but slowly through her fin
gers, so that the shadows of evening are
gathering by degrees, snd the flowers have
time to bow their heads, and each creature
space to find place of rest and to nestle to
repose. In the morning, the garish sun would
at one bound burst from the bosom of the night,
and blaze above the horison; but the ar
watches for his coming, and sends first but
one little ray to announce his approach, and
then another, and then a handful; and so

look upon all such frivolities as exceedingly
