A Liars Victory.

The fact that Detroiters are long suf-
fering and kind-hearted was again ex-
empliied yesterday. One of the dozen
passengers on Woodward Avenue car
suddenly remarked that it was an aw-
full snow-storm, and that he never saw
so much snow on the ground before.
"Pooh!" exclaimed . little whiffet
of q man in the corner; "this is no
storm at all! Why, in Omaha I have
seen forty-seven feet of snow on the
ground at once!"
"Buried the town, didntit?" queried
the man opposite.
"Of course it buried the town, but
that was all right. We dug out the
snow and left crust, as q sort of sky,
and in three days we had summer
weather down there. Roses bloomed,
peach trees blossomed, and the boys
went in swimming, the same as in July!
Don't talk to me about such storms as
this?"
"W-what became of the crust?''
gasped q man at the front end of the
car.
"It's hanging up there yeti" replied
the noble liar, "and the man who
doubts my word wants to step off the
car for bali q minute!"
There that whole dozen men sat as
mute as CLANS, not daring to even wink
at each other, or to enter protest.
while the little man branched off anew
and began telling that he had seen hail
stones weighing six pounds each.-Free

A Human BreakWater.

The London Builder says: The bursts
of rain in the Carnatic are tremendous.
As much as five inches of rainfall in a
single night is not infrequent, and Sir
A. Cotton has known as much as nine
teen inches of rain to fall in that time.
The smallest rill that is allowed to
trickle over the edge of an earthen bank
wears itself passage and becomes a
destructive torrent with extreme rapid
ty. On one occasion the water in the
Veranum tank is said to have overflow
ed the whole twelve miles of the bund,
and to have preached it in thirteen
places. On another occasion the en-
gineer in charge of bund, finding the
water rising with more rapidly than he
was able to meet by the supply
of earth, made wall of the
bodies of his laborers, caus-
ing them to lie down close to one an.
other on the top of the threatened part
of the dam, and thus keeping back the
two inches or three inches of water,
which, if unchecked, would soon have
wrecked the whole bund and ruined q
wide district, until tn Fir places could be
supplied by basketfuls of earth. II was
an original expedient, but it saved the
district. What the laborers said about
it we have not learned.
