THE SPELLING FEVER.

Smith says this spelling school fever
is getting to be an intolerable bore.
On going home to supper in hurry.
one evening lately, he found his wife
sitting in front of the parlor fire, with
a spelling book in her hand, and heard
an indistinct mumbling, in which he
could occasionally distinguish -
"c-o-m-p-l- -l-a-c-e-n-t, Satisfied,
happy" etc.
sIs supper ready, my dear?' asked
he.
"S-u-p-p-e-r," was all the answer he
could hear.
.'Come, csme, must go up town
shortly" he said.
"S-h-o-r-t-l-y," echoed the lady,
moving towards the kitchen door,
pausing in the door to take one last
look at McGuffey.
"Mrs. Smith, 1 must be back up
street in a few minutes, and mast haye
my supper Immediately" yelled the
now irate husband.
s.I-m- m .e-d-i-" but this was too
much, and here the coal scuitle crass

the unfortunate photographer lodged
behind and closed it, while Smith
AYERS that he heard something as she
whirled through the door, that sound

the sound was lost amid the clatter of
tin pans, skillets, etc. He is now pre-
pared to fight any man whe may be
rash enough to say "McGuffy" to him.

SPELLING SCHOOL.
AFTER HIAwATHA.

Spoilers from the dictionary,
Spoilers from tho new edition
Ofthe unabridged pictorial:
From the pages of old Wooster"
From the modern high school speller,
Have you heard the mighty spoilers.
From all books that deal in language,
From all technical conclusions,
To all absolute confusions?
Have you heard them spell togethers
Spell in ranks like fighting soldiers,
Pupils side by side with teachers.
Have You seen the mighty umpire
With his open dictionaries.
With his glasses on his optics,
And his ears erect for errorsp
Have you seen the brave ones falling,
By the fault f the miscalling,
Heard them call the word ''insition''
As they would pronounce "abeision''
Have you seen the ranks of heroes,
Not to call them noble martyrs.
Standing up and spelling "fuchsia,''
And 'fpecacuanna."
And "cerebro meningitis"
"Assafoetida" and "sylphid,"
"Youghiogheny" and ''minotaur,"
And a host of other puzzlcrse
Have you seen the burning bushes
On the cheek of vanquisked spoilers.
Have you noticed how the ladies
Hate to look toward the tellers?
oh. the shame of dropping is out,
And the grief of putting e's in,
When the thing is just as easy
AS coughing OF sneezing!
Oh. the red hot Indignation
OF defeat, 50 near to gloryI
Oh. the blasted English language,
With its always changing story;
Oh. the prizes that we don't get
When we could have spelled each word
Except the one we didn't spelb
or all that we have heard,

THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS "sHOOK.

| THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS "SHOOK.''
"What I want to know" said a
white-headed young man of twenty,
as he stood before the sergeant in
charge of the Central Station yester-
day, what came here for was to get
some advice"
proceed" said the sergeant.
"You know Nancy Thompson, don't
your" -.r......
"Never heard of her."
"Well, she's a widder, over forty
years old, and I've been boarding
there"
"Yes.'' ....
"And we were engaged to be mar

"Whew I" whistled the office.

young man in broken voice. Sim

man can't always tell when he's going
to make fool of himself"
"And you fell in lover"

the sergeant.

A PACIFIC CLIMATE.


A recent visitor at Santa Barbra,

HOW AvAIAECHES ARE FORMED IN
THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

A Nevada paper, speaking of th'
avalanches of snow which have beer
so destructive of life and property thii
winter, says: The purely sliding ava
lanche, or snow slides, are such as oc
cur iii dry, or mere moist snow, while
the rolling avalanches take place wher
the snow is wet or sufficiently moist
to form into balls by rolling. The
avalanches that occurred in Virgins
City were of the genuine rolling des'
cription, the kind most dreaded and
the kind most destructive in the val
leys of the Alps. A very small be.
ginning when the snow is in the prop.
er condition may end in destructive
avalanche. A ball of snow no larger
than mans head, started high up on
the side of Mount Davidson, might
have swept away several houses at
the foot of the mountain. The fear
full force of an avalanche was shown
here when one broke into house and
killed two men, and another demol.
ished two houses and buried five per-
sons, who were rescued with much
difficulty. A further illustration OF
the terrible force and destructive
power of the avalanche is found in the
fact that twenty-eight Cinnamon were
killed in the one that fell near Genoa.
AS we have said, small ball of snow
started high up on the side of the
mountain, would result in a genuine
avalanche. In rolling a distance of
fifty yards in the moist snow, the
small ball of snow would become four
or five feet in diameter, when it would
burst, and each piece of it would an
instant later, form ball of large size
these iu turn would explode as soon
as they acquired certain weight and
velocity, and a moment after there
would be hundreds and thousands of
these balls in motion, all bounding
down the steep side of the mountain.
While hundreds of these are explod
ing or just forming, other hundreds
are of full size, and are picking up
rocks, dirt, and all manner of rubbish
which becomes involved in the grand
downward rush. Towards the latter
part of their course the balls become
SO numerous that they bound and
clash together SO often that they are
broken before they acquire any great
size. and the whole avalanche is then =
plunging. sliding mass of snow. The
avalanche which knocked two houses
to pieces and buried five persons,
started but few hundred yards above
where the houses stood. 1t started at
a bunch of rocks which projected fif-
teen or twenty feet above the general
surface of the mountain. On these
rocks the snow had fallen and accu-
mulated to the depth of about three
feet, hanging in places as snow is seen
to do en the caves of house. From
one Of these rocks fell bunch of snow
which commenced to roll down the
hill, and the result was a destructive
avalanche. Doubtless the avalanche
which killed two men started in much
the same way.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

If you invest your money in tools
and leave them exposed to the wealth
er, it is the same as loaning money to
a spendthrift without security dead
loss in both cases.
If you inyest your money in books
aid never read them, it is the same as
putting your money into bank and
never drawing either principle or in
terest.
Ii you invest your money in fine
stock and do not feed and protect
them and properly care for them, it is
the same as dressing your wife in silk
to dc kitchen work.
If you invest your money in choice
fruits and do not guard and give them
chance to grow and prove their val
ue, it is the same as putting a good
hand into the field with poor tools to
work with.
If you invest your money in geed
farm and do not cultivate it well, it is
the same as marrying good wife and
SO enslavius and abusing her as to
crush her energies and break her heart.
If you invest your money jill fine
house and do not cultivate your mind
and taste so as to adorn it with intel
ligence and refinement, it is as if you
were to wear broadcloth and a silk
hat to the mill.
If you invest your money in fine
clothes and do not wear them with
dignity and ease, it is as if a plough
man were TO sit at a jewelers. table TO
adjust hair-springs.
Ii you invest your money in strong
drink, it is the same as turning hum
gry hogs into a corn field-ruin will
follow in both cases.
If you inyest your money in every
new wonder that flaming circulars
proclaim, it is the same as buying
tickets at lottery Office where there
are ten blank to one prize.
If you invest your money in the
