Not . Very Successful Joke.

The Hudson IN. w. Register says that
quite an amusing joke was !crpetra'cd at n
certain boarding house in that city Satur>
day night. One Of the boarsiers, . very
modest young man. had occasion to DO out
late. and the rest of his household thought
they would play Joke on him, and this is
the way they did it: They rugged up
figure supposed to resemble female, which
they put in his bed, and they hung on the
chair skirt, on another u set of corseis,
hong dress ovor tho foot boasd, Aoa -osaS
mcnted tho bureau with false hair, hair
pins and fixings-thus giving the room the
appearance Of being occupied by lady.
At q late hour the owner of the room re.
turned and lit the gas, and his eyes bchcld
such ar array of articles us his eyes were
not wont 10 gaze upon but though his
eyes were surprised, his nose did not so
back on him, for II ''smelled mice !" and
he proceeded quickly to gather up the
fragments, cid them into bundle and hid
them under the barn. Sunday morning he
appeared at tho table as though nothing had
occurred, aud could not be prevailed upon
to see any joke At all. The result was that
the instigators were obliged 10 remain home
from church for want Of hair aud boots and
things, and Ind to ask our bashful friend to
return them. What he wants to know y
who got the joke played on them. -.l#

II the coal beds of the earth should ever
become exhausted it is possible that these
sources of supply may be replaced by new
beds rising from the bottom of the seas. u
deed something of the kind is now actually
occurring. The Island of Newfoundland,
which contains fifty seven thousand square
miles, and has population Of one hundred
thousand, is joined by banks or shoals much
larssg than the island itself. II il Oh these
psplD hat Tic cod fisheries are soextensivc.
~ pursued The Grand Bank y six h1,iL
red miles long by two hundred miles broad.
Now it has been conclusively shown that
the whole island IL rising from the sen, and
in the course Of time may be expected Ia
join its banks which are also rising. Great
seams Of coal, which arc pronounced inex.
b "a .tiblc, have been discovered In NvwfOand
land, aud there 70 no reason to doubt that
these seams also extend under the banks.
So It appears that in one case at least coal
beds ere now coming Il the surface from
the depths of the ocean, and il IL not I'M
probable that similar forces may he produA
cling similar results in other parts Of Tie
world.
