In another instance, when Thompson was

THE HOTTEST SroT on EARTH. of
the hottest regions on the earth is along
the Persian gulf, where little or no rain
falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water; yet comparatively numerous
population contrive to live there, thanks te
the copious springs which burst forth from
the Bottom of the sea. The fresh water is
got by diving. The diver. sitting on his
boat. winds 4 great goatskin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasplng its mouth.
Then he takes in his right hand heavy
stone, to which is attached a strong line
aud. thus equipped, he plunges in and
quickly reaches the bottom. Instantly
opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh
water, he springs up the ascending current,
at the same time closing the bag, and is
helped aboard. The stone is then hauled
mp and, the diver taking breath. pluaces
again. The source OF these copious sub
marine springs is thought to he in the green
hills Of Osman, some five or six hundred
distant.

The Intelligent Juror Again.

The Sandusky (O.) Register tells the
following story of member of the Grand
Jury at the October term of the Common
Pleas Court in that city: "One of the
jurors could neither read nor write, and
IN order to cast his ballots for or against
indictments in the cases, he got a friend
to write for him two sets of ballots-one
set reading YES, the other set NO
He folded the ballots carefully and placed
them in his vest pockets, those reading in
the affirmative in his right-hand pocket,
and those in the negative in his left-hand
pocket. During the examination of wit
neSses he was so occupied in listening to
the testimony that he forgot how he had
arranged the ballots, and when the jury
came to vote on one of the cases, he
couldn't tell for his life which pocket to
dive into for the right slip of paper. He
wanted to vote YES and so at venture
he fshed ballot out of his let-hand
pocket and voted it. When the ballots
were counted it was found that fourteen
of them read yes, and one No. Vote
after vote was taken on the case, and
with the same result, until in some way
It leaked out that the juror referred to
had his left-hand pocket stuffed with bal
lots reading No. which he had been
voting, when all the tine he wanted to
vote In the affirmative. Another vote
was then taken on the case, and the in
teligent juror went for the papers in the
right-hand pocket, and when the ballots
were counted they were all in favor of
the finding Of an Indictment"

BRAINS CONE OUT AHEAD.-A young
man, graduate of Dartmouth, and a
noted law student in Merrimac county,
who had the misfortune to lose his hear
ing, having settled on farm, writes thus
of the Occapation he has chosen: "There
isn't much glory on a farm, but you get
a good, sure living. You are your own
master; you can't starve, or be turned
out of business and as far as the work
is concerned in these days of horse power,
man needn't kill himself farming any
more than at any other business. It is
brains that win on a farm, as well as
everywhere else, and the smart man is
going to ride, while the stupid one goes
on foot, in the corn-feld as well as in the
bar or pulpit. 1 should like to have my
hearing again, but I wouldn't leave my
farm again if I had it"

SWEAR IN GAELIC.-A lady travel
ing from Edinburgh to Glasgow was
much annoyed by young officers CONVEX
satiOn in the carriage being interspersed
with oaths. She sat uneasy till she could
no longer keep silence. "Sir," she said
to the officer, i" can you talk in the Gaelic
tongue?" To this he replied in the
affirmative, seemingly with great pleasure,
expecting to have some conversation with
the lady in that dialect. She then
politely requested that if he wished to
sware any more, it might be in that
language, as the practice of swearing was
very offensive to herself and the rest Of
the company. The officer was cOnfounded
at this reproof, and no more oaths were
heard from him during the remainder of
the journey.

TRUE HEROISM.

It calls for something more than Drawn
On bleOdy, CHASTITY fields,
When honor Ereets the man who wins,
And death the man who yields;
But Will write of him who fights
And vanQlishes his sins,
Who struggles On through weary years
Against himself, and wins.
Here Is hero, staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
HIS passions. base and low,
And stands erect in manhOOds might,
Undaunted undismayed-
The bravest man who ere drew swordi
In foray or in raid.
It calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to Oe'r come
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume or drum
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
An honor, then, to that brave heart,
Though rich or poor he be.
Who struggles with his baSer part
Who conquers and is free.
He may not wear hero crown,
Or fill hero's grave;
But truth will place his name among
The brayeSt Of the brave

A BoY.-One of the best things in
the world to be is boy.
Boys have always been SO plenty that
they are not half appreciated.
A boy is willing to do any amount
of. work if it is called play.
The feeling Of boy toward pumpkin
pie has never been properly considered.
A boy furnishes half the entertain
ment, and takes two-thirds of the scold-
ing of the family circle.
1t is impossible to say at what age a
boy becomes conscious that his trouser-
legs are too short, and is anxious about
the part of his hair.
In fact boy is hard subject to get
a moral from.

An Ungraded Department in Graded
Schools.

The advantages of the graded-school
system are too obvious to need mention
ing. But its disadvantages are not gen.
orally known to those who have not had
experience in organizing schools, in max
ing promotions of scholars from grade to
grade, and in classifying those who apply
for admission from the ungraded country
schools.
One of the first difficulties with the
system is that it is Procrustean bedstead; !;
the pupils must be pared down or drawn
out, to fit it. Many bright scholars
could easily go through the common
school course in one or two years less
time than it takes the machine to run
them through. Then, again, there are
many others who are carried through
in less time than they really need to
learn the grades thoroughly. Promotions
may be made at irregular intervals, of
course, but this always causes the pupil
to omit something he needs to know.
The pupil who fails in promotion, especi-
ally when these promotions are made
annually, IS usually put back farther then
he needs to go; the work of the lower
class is 80 easy for him that during
term or two he has much leisure time,
and the result is not difficult to imagine
it is well known to all who have had
much experience in graded school work
There are large numbers of young men
and women, in all our cities and towns
who ought to be in school, but who are
ashamed to go, because when examined
by the principal they are found to be 80
deficient in some of the essential studies
of the course that they must be graded
down among the little children. Now all
this trouble could easily be remedied by
establishing in connection with each large
graded school an ungrGded department.
Such department in the hands of a
competent, energetic teacher would be of
the greatest value. Here could be sent
those vigorous minded boys and girls
who have been irregularly taught in
country schools. Special attention could
be given to their neglected branches
until they we're ready to enter regular
grades. Here could be sent all scholars
who have but a short time to remain at
school. By teaching them only the
essential branches, they could, in short
time, learn what would be of great value
to them.

'Mary's Little Lamb.,,

The veritable "Miry (who) had a little
lamb whose fleece was as white as snow /"
visited the Old South spinning bee at
Boston a few months ago, and told
the ladies present the story of the lamb.
When she was 8 years old and was liv-
ing on a farm, one morning she went out
into the barn, where she found two little
lambs, one of them nearly dead. So she
took it into the house and sat up all
night nursing it with catnip tea. The
next morning the lamb could stand on its
teet and grew stronger every day.
OWlng to her loving care the lamb be-
came so attached to Mary that it fol-
lowed her about and one day to school,
where she hid it under her desk, so that
none Of the children knew it was in
school until Mary was called up to recite.
Then the lamb came out from its hiding
place, and made the children laugh and
shout, so that the teacher was obliged to
turn it out. The poem was written by
a friend of Mary's (the venerable Mrs.
Sarah JOsepha Hale, who has just retired
from the editorship of Godey's Lady
Book) soon after the lambs visit to the
schOol-room. Mary was married many
years since, and lives near Boston. She
says she will come again to the spinning
bee some afternoon. She took in some
of the first fleece of her little lamb, and
it is now for sale at the spinning bee.

WHAT A REvILER GoT.-An Eng
ish correspondent relates the following
fresh story of the times of the Commune
in Paris As several Versaillese were
being led away to be shot, one man in
the crowd that accompanied them to see
the shooting made himself conspicuous
by taunting and reviling the prisoners.
There, cOnfound you,' said one Of the
prisoners at last, don't you try to get
out of it by edging off into the crowd,
and pretending you are one of them.
Come back here; the game is up; let us
all die together and the crowd was so
persuaded that the Communard's vehe-
mence was only assumed to cloak his
escape that he was marched into file with
the prisoners, and duly shot"

A PROMPT MULE.-A good story is
told of a deacon in Tennessee, who was

mOdic movement of its four legs and
hump, discharge its rider like cannon
ball: The other day they came to the
worst mud hole in the State, and the
mule gave unmistakable indications of
bucking. The good deacon knew that
he was about to be thrown, and his mind
skurried about for prayer. His table
grace came easiest: "Lord, for what we
are about to receive make US humbly
thankful" he exclaimed, and the mule
had bucked and he was in.

necessity, as by death, and originated in
the early ages of European civilization,
when divorces were granted but seldom,
and wholly by the Catholic church.
When such decree was granted to a
woman, the papal receipts stated, "Vidu-

"grace widow" In the law of the
French it would read, "Veuve de grace, T"
or @grace widow" "veuve" being trans
lated as widow.

A SMALL SPECIMEN OF HUMANITY.
Master Frankly Flynn, Of Norwich,
New York, is the smallest specimen Of a
boy ever known. He is four and half
years old, and is thus described by the
correspondent of the Utica "Observer":- =
owe went to see him, expecting a
Tom Thumb or Commodore Mutt to
walk in before US. Imagine our surprise
when his grandmother brought him in
as one would a good-sized cat. He is
not so large as one of Tom Thumbs legs.
In Tom Thumbs carriage he would look
as lonesome as an ordinary man in q
circus band wagon. To sit upon one Of
Tom Thumbs easy chairs would be to
him what it is to the ordinary boy to
perch upon a gate-post when the spring
comes. He is smaller than any one can
conceive who has not actually seen him.
Yesterday he had on two pairs of stock
ings, and even then the smallest-sized
baby-shoes were too large for him. His
wrist is of the size of an ordinary mans
thumb, his ankle but slight increase.
He was dressed in full suit like man.
He stands twenty-three inches in his
shoes, and weighs, clothes and all,
twelve pounds. That is the most he
ever weighed in his life Still he is q
lively, sprightly boy, very active, climb
ing into chairs, and getting down; walks
around with his hands back of him, Hke
his grandpa and talks and laughs, and
is as cute as any boy of his years. He
is no longer than he was when one year
old"
