a sAGAolous MOUSE.

Yesterday afternoon the writer wit
messed a strange sightin the Record office.
Oar attention was. attracted by several
lusiy tquesks from the inside of pail
almost oiled with wafer, into which q
halt grown mouse had fallen. The alarm
had scarcely died away before four or five
mice appeared on the scene aud began
clambering to the edge of the pail. For
several moments after gaining the top Of
the pail and catching sight OF the mouse
in the water, squeaking confab was
held. First one mouse and then another
would cling TO the rim of the bucket with
his hind legs, and while almost touching
the water with his nose, squeak out either
consultation or advice TO the immersed,
but while all this was going on the swim
ming powers of the unfortunate mouse
in the pail were rapidly giving out. At
last happy thought seemed to strike the
biggest mouse in the crowd, and almost
without a squeak he firmly fastened his
fore feet to the edge of the pail and let
his body and tail hang down. The drown.
Ing mouse saw It, and, making desper-
ate effort for life, swan to the spot, seized
the tail of his brother mouse, and, amid
squeaks of delight from all the mice pres
ent, was hauled high and dry above the
water, and over the edge of the bucket

STRANGE DISCOVERY IN swITZER-
LAND.

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake Of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employed
to search for it. While they were below
water, they found what they supposed
TO be village, since covered by the lake.
Their statements led to an investigation
of the spot by the municipal authorities,
who took measures to ascertain the truth
OF the extraordinary account of the di-
vers. On covering the placid surface
with oil, these latter were able TO distin-
guish the plan of town, streets, squares
and detached houses marking the bed of
the lake. The ruddy hue which charac-
that the buildings had been covered with
the famous vermillion cement which was
used by the Celts, Cimbri, and the early
Gsns. There are about 800 houses ar.
ranged over an oblong surface, near the
middle Of which is space more open /,
supposed TO have been used for publis
sssemblages. At the eastern extremity
lies large, square tower, which was ta-
ken for a rock. A superficial investiga-
tion seems TO indicate that the construc-
tion OF these buildings dates from some
centuries before our era. The Council of
Vaud has decided to have the site Of the
dwellings enclosed by jetty stretching
from tie land, aud to drain Off the water,
SO as TO bring to light what pro misses to
be one Of the most interesting arc;lsolog-
icaI discoveries Of our day.

KEEPING G OUT THE FLIES.

Every housekeeper knows what nui-

are powerful against them, cleanliness

and care should be taken to sweep every
crumb from table and floor. But it will
not do simply to shut up the room, shut
ting up the flies in It. Close every win

drive the flies ont. This is not so hard
as it may seem on paper, and practice
makes perfect here as in all else. We

for few minutes in the passage looking
about, and suddenly saw man coming

made sure the man was ber husband, and
without a word Of warning she gave him
three or four sounding boxes on ibc ear
