served the coat Of an innocent lOunger,
who stood too near the stove, ablaze. Ye
newspaper man closely watched the indi-
yidual, who was unconscious Of what was
going on, and, notebook in hand, prepar'
cd to record n startling item Of crema-
ton. But he was disappointed, however,
the individual began to feel warm, and
seeing his burning garments, endeayored
to run away from himself. The flames
were soon oxtinguished by an habitue Of

home after more clothing. The happy
itcmizer, who enjoyed the proceedings
hugely, didn't fail to express himSelfwhen
he found his item was lost.

MARcu.-There Is a lingering senti-
ment in the hearts OF most people,
brought from childhood perhaps, that
March is one OF the Spring months, The
HoaFy Winter is not expected to retire
from his domain without. some show Of
buster before yielding to the inevitable.
This season however the king Of the
North as vet maniiests no intent tocall OF
his ICY legions to their home in the land
Of the EsSuimaux. All over the,Country
the tiercewinds driving the snow storm,
are as cold and bitter, and as RELENTLESS as
in the day when they wreathedin frost the
couch Of the dying year,
1t is not the lingering Of winter in the
lap Of Spring, gradually succumbing TO
the genial influence OF the South winds
wooing, but the rampant tyranny OF an
unbrOken sway,
March came in like lion, with name
erect and bristling with ice, from which
now and then the shining sun reflects but
cold glitter. What is worse, there Is
nothing left Of the cheerful gaiety OF his
incoming when he shook from his mantle
great feathery flakes OF snow, filling the
air and wrapping the world with beauty:
Sullenly the storm, with its mixture oil
ice and rain, beats against the easement
in churlish resentment at the cheerful
glow OF the hearth fires within, or spite
fully spits in the faces OF those who are
compelled to brave its insolent fury. The
field and the town are alike bowling
waste. The children Of poverty, who
long for the ethereal mildness Of
Spring to break the gloom Of their
comfortless homes, are yet forced "a
eat the bread of humiliation from the
hand OF charity, while the rich long fol
the time when NUTS and furs and cum,
brous wrappings may DO laid aside, and
walking be resumed, and coal bills cease
to yex. The genial warmth Of Spring
the swelling buds, and the warbling o.
birds, are q haunting dream; and vel
there Is no telling how long this Winle'
weather Is going to last,
