Sunday morning a gentleman residing on
tie Island woke 70 consciousness with
very red nose and q contempt for the
beautiful taeeFy which Jack Frost had
designed on the window panes Of his
room, With the remark that winter
had come, sure enough" he hustled him
selfinto his wooden goods with more than
usual llacrity, and jumped down the hall
stairs, three at a lick, to say good morn
ing TO the sitting.room stove. Then he
rubbed his hands until the temporary chill
was gone, and went for the paFlor Their
mometer-one Of those little, delicate
high-borh chaps, with an ivory back
board, silvered and Ornamented with fern
leaves, and held in position by a Cupid,
with handkerchief for a dressing-gown
"a little Thermometer for 4 cent. He
could hardly keep from freezing to death
on the spot when he found the mercury
stood at IS deg, below zero.
Philosophers say that the sensation
from contact with very cold iron Is sim
liar to a burn, and he dropped 1t
squickern s'caLS and scudded for the sit
ting room, where he shiveEed and shOyeled
coal till his better.half, "calm as q cloud
let IN a summer evening" sailed into the
room.
"whsv how hot it Isl remarked the
lady,
aHotlkOt! did you say, my doarT was
the Shiyering reply, u was just in the
parlOr, and your little Thermometer says
It's ls' below zero, It's an awful cold
morning" and in went another lump Of
coal, u froEe my fingers with it, and
dropped It on the aoOr and broke 1t all
to smashP
The laughter Of his spouse was long and
loud, but It finally leaked out that Johnny
knocked the little liar otFthe table withhis
Santa Claus ball and let the mercury out,
Johnny says they've got "for true tin
thermometer" at his house now,
