If you get moment to spare, spruce
up; put the gate on lis hinges; put a
little paint on the picket fence you built
last year; tim up the door yard; make
it cozy and inviting. Do not say you

things. The fact is, you have no right
to he slovenly. 1t can do you no good,
but on the contrary it will mar your
peace, wound your self-respect and i'm
pair your credit.

Haunting Newspaper Offices.

The Philadelphia Press thus truth
fully discourses The Cfty Item, one
day wanted to know why all the crazy
people floating about invariably wan
dered into newspaper offices2 Nobody
answered. Even the smart man didl not
appear to say it was natural for them to
60 among their kind, or "words TO that
effect" We have q recollection of n
fellow who had just escaped from an
asylum for the insane (not an insane
asylum-asylums don't go insane), and
who told us pleasantly and graphically
how he had choked keeper almost to
death because he knew said keeper fully
intended at the first opportunity to
operate on him. "Oh how black he
was getthg!" he said regretfully; re-.
gretfGlly, because the play was abrupt
~ ended by the appearance of another
keeper. But it is to the harmless, the
troublesome lunatics, the fellows with
hobbies, our contemporary refers. Come
to the newspaper Offices they do, and
take up the time of the editor they will.
They are too crazy to accept hint, and
one does not like to be very plain spoken
to chap whose wits are on a tour. What
attraction is there to these unfortunates
about an editorial rooms It acts as q
magnet upon them, whatever the reason.

A Boiling Lake.

There is lake of boiling water in the
island OF Dominica, lying in the noun
tains behind Roseau, and in the valleys
surrounding it are many solfataras, or
volcanic sulphur vents. In fact the
boiling lake is little less than crater
filed with water, through which the
pent-up gases find vent and are elected.
The temperature of the water ranges
from 180 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
throughout the whole extent. The
points of actual ebullition change from
time to time. Where the active action
takes place the water is said to rise two.
three, and sometimes four feet above
the main surface, the cone often diyid-
ing 80 that the orifces through which
the gas escapes are three in number.
This violent action of the cones causes a
general disturbance over the whole sur
face Of the lake. Though these cones
appear to be special vents, yet the sui
phurous vapors arise in nearly eoual
density over the full extent of the lake.
There seems to be in no case any violent
action of the escaping gases, such as de-
donations or explosions. The water is of
dark gray color, and is highly charged
with sulphur. AS the outlet Of the lake
Is rapidly deepening, it is believed that
soon the water must be drawn off, after
which it will assume the character Of n
geyser, or salphurous crater. '' r'
