There are, sometimes real shoy
wk as f fpfs sn Gi FSm by an ab sa
century ago, mice of a peculiar kind
were XII .Nn to fall from the sky and that
such an, event was sure to befollowed by
good year for foxes. A shower of frogs
fell, near Toulouse, in 1904. A prodigioHs
number of black insects, about an inch in
length, descended in snow storm at Pa
krotf, Russia, in 1927. On one occasion
in Norway, the peasants were astonished
at finding a shower of rats pelting down
upon their heads. Showers of fishes have
been numerous.
AT Stanstead, in Kent, in 1866, a pas
turefeld was found one morning covered
plentifully with fish, although there is
neither sea nor river, lake nor fish pond
near At Allahabad, in 1880, an English
officer saw a good smart down pour of fish,
and soon after thousands of small dead fish
were found upon the ground. Scotland
has had many of these showers of fish, as
in Rosshire, in 1929, when quantities of
herring fry covered the ground; at Islay,
IN 1920, when large number of herrings
were found strewn over field after
heavy gusty rain; at Wick, much more re-
Gently, when herrings were found in
large quantities in field mile away
from the beach. In all these, and numer-
Gus other cases, when a liberal allowance
has been made for exaggeration, the re-
mainder can be explained by we'll under
stood causes.
Stray winds blowing from the sea or
river; waterspout licking up the fish out
OF the water; whirlwind sending them
hither and thither-all these are intelli-
gible The rat shower in Norway was an
extraordinary one Thousands of rats
were taking their annual excursion from a
billy region to the lowland, when whirl-
wind overlook them, whisked them in
field at some distance, doubtless much to
the astonishment of such rats as came down
alive. The so-caled showers of blood
have had their days Of terror and marvel,
and have disappeared Not that any one
ever saw such a shower actually fall, but
red spots have occasionally been seen on
walls and stones, much to the popular dis
may. Swammerdam, the naturalist, told
the people of Hague, two centuries ago,
that those red spots were connected with
some phenomena of insect life, but they
would not believe him, and insisted that
the spots were real blood and were por-
tents of evil times to come. Other natu-
ralists have since confirmed the scientific
opinion.

The Missionary Link gives an odd
instance OF the contrivance employed to
circumvent heather regulation. 1t says
"One of our native teachers was a
widow, and young bachelor wanted to
marry her. But, as an unmarried man
cannot marry widow, he was with all
due ceremony married to flower. When
that withered and died, he said it was
quite proper that he should marry the
widow, which he did. She has the faded
flower, and saysi it is to be burned and bur
led with her when she dies"
Spotted Tair writes encouragingly
to Mrs. spotted Tail, In his last letter
home he says: q q
"The white man is like the sands of the
sea. His hunts are like the trees of the
forest, His horses are iron. Their speed
is lightning. He has a little wire that
goes over the great country. 1t reaches a
hundred nations. He blows through the
wire. The white man is great blower
The words of his mouth go to the end fof
the earth. They call up warriors and sum-
mon men to the council. But the soul of
the Spotted TAIL knows no fear"
hC 4utHof oouTHut, Vi louisville, fa.,
having stated that there was a man in the
place who had been drunk for thirty five
years, its editor says he has been called to
account by at least twenty different persons
who insist that the item was personal at
tack upon them. The man he really re-
ferred to, the editor remarks, us sharp en-
ough to keep his mouth shut about it, but
keeps on drinking just as if not word
had been said"

THE LADY or THE KEY.
A STRANGE STORY FROM PARIS.

One of the Paris journals announces the
death at Versailles of Russian lady, who
appeared in the drawing rooms in Paris in
1S4S and 1949, and was nick named the
Dame a la Clef." She died aged forty
five, in the most complete solitude. 1t is
said that her husband, who was much
older than she came to see her for a week
or two every six months, and went away
no one knew whittier. All was myster-
Gus about this lady of the Key. Last
month the husband did not return as usual
but letter came announcing his DEATH
The widow survived him a few days only,
and it is supposed she allowed herself to
die of hunger. Whether true or not, this
was the story that was whispered about
her when she appeared in Paris, young and
beautiful, more than twenty years ago 1t
is said that her husband surprised her in
little country house which he possessed
near Moscow at the moment she was hasti-
ly shutting somebody up in wardrobe
A servant had betrayed her. The Musco-
yite Othello turned the key twice in the
wardrobe, took it out, and then told his
wife to follow him.
A travelling britzka stood few PAGES
from the villa. More dead than live the
unhappy woman obeyed. When the hus-
band had placed her in the carriage, and
given an order in a low voice to the coach
man, keep this key" he said to his wife,
81 have forgotten something and will re-
turn" and then went back to the house.
He returned according to promise, but as
the carriage assembled the hill the poor wo-
man saw the flames issuing from the win
dows of the. country house and taking full
possession Of it. She tainted away, and on
regaining her senses perceived that gold
chain was riyeted round her neck, to which
the little key of the wardrobe was attached
She wished to kill herself, but her husband
threatened her that if she committed sui
eide he. would reveal her misconduct, and
cover her and her family with dishonor-
She was, therefore, condemned to live, and
her strange necktie excited much curiosity
in Paris. At last her tyrant allowed her
to retire into quiet retreat, on the express
stipulation that she would not attempt to
destroy herself during his lifetime. His
death released her from this condition
but she had languished for more than
twenty years, having the witness of her
guilt Always before her eyes.

RArrLEsNAKE CoNcERr.-The Ball and Con-
cert for the benefit Of Rattlesnake School dis
trict has been postponed until the 22d Of Febru-
airy. This postponement is in consequence of
the tickets not being sold. In this connection
we deem it but proper to say that this Concert,
Ball and drawing will come off, that it will be
honestly conducted; that it presents heavier
percentage in favor of luck than anything of the
kind now offered; that its object is extremely
worthy, and that it demands and should receive
the encouragement Of the entire community,
outside Of those who have conscientious scruples
about grab-bags and the like. The tickets will
all be sold, and those who desire to aid really
mertorious cause and try their luck had better
get their tickets soon.
