her head upon her back the richest kind
of buds; her lover stood beside her, with
white kids and dicky clean; the last was
twenty-one years old, the first was seven.
teen. The parsons job was over, every
one had kissed the bride, and wished the
young folks happiness, and laughed, and
danced and cried. The last kiss had
been given, the last word had been said,
and the happy pair had simmercd down,
and all the guests had fed.
CHAPTER IL. She stood beside the
wash-tub with her red hands in the suds,
and at her slip-shod sect there lay pile
Of dirty duds; her-the crossest man
alive; the last was twenty-nine years
old, the first was twenty-five. The heavy
wash was over, and the cloths hung up to
dry-and Tom had stuck his finger in
the dirty baby's eye. Tom had been
spanked and supper made upon crust Of
bread, and the bride and bridegroom went
grumbling off to bed.

A clergyman in Scotland desired his

but when any one said "the thing that
was not, they ought to whistle. One
Sunday he preached sermon on the par.

at loss to know how to explain it, he
said the loaves were not like those nova
days-they were as big as some of the
hills of Scotland. He had scarcely pro-

whistle. What's that cas- me altar ?"

How TO Choose a Domestic.

Old Peppergrass sent to the register
office that he wanted a girl for general
housework. About the time he expected
an application, he laid broom down in
the yard near the gate. Presently girl
comes up to the gate, opens it, and strolls
into the house; the broom being immed-
lately in the path, Miss Betsey strides over.
The old man was on the watch, and the
first salute to the girl was, 81 don't want
you"
The girl departed and suddenly another
bullet-headed Nancy appears. Seeing the
broom in her way, she gave it kick and
waddles up to the house. "You won't
suit me, Miss Momsey" balls Pepper.

Finally, third appears, "opens the gate
and noiselessly coming into the yard,
she carefully closes the gate behind her
and walks np-the broom being still in
the path she picked it up, carries it with
her, and deposits it alongside Of the
woodshed. Before she can explain her
business there, Peppergrass sings out !;
"Yes, yes, come; you'll suit me-"

HoT SUMMERS. - In 1882 the earth
cracked by reason of the heat, the wells
and streams in Asace all dried up, and
the bed of the river Rhine was dry. In
ll52 the heat was so great that sand ex.
posed to the suns rays was hot enough to
cook eggs. In ll6O great numbers of
soldiers in the campaigne against Bella
died from the heat. 1916 and 1877
crops of hay and oats failed completely.
In 1903 and 1904 a man could have
crossed, dry shod, over the rivers Seine,
Rhine and Danube. In 1898 and 1894
a multitude of animals perished by the
heat-which was SO great that the crops
dried up. In 1440 the heat was extra.
ordinary. In 1888, 1889, 1910 and
l64l all the rivers were nearly dried up.
In 1856 there was a great drought, which
extended over nearly the whole Of Europe.
In 1915 and 1916 there was in Italy,
France and Netherlands an overpowering
heat. In l64S there were Gfty-eight
consecutive days of extreme heat. 1867
was very hot, as were the first three years
Of the 18th century. In Ills it did not
rain single time from April to October.
