There Is one remarkable effect of our pecu-
liar climate that has probably struck every
body, and yet we have never seen it referred
to in print. IL is the absence of any notice.
able change in the season. The monotonous
continuity of even sunshine insensibly merges
days into weeks, and months into years with
out the usual suggestion lapse of time 0c-
curing elsewhere, One shakes hands with a
friend on the street corner to-day, and next
year meets him fresh from a trip round the
world, and is rather surprised to find him in
another suit of clothes, the pattern of the old
being as fresh in our minds eye as if we had
seen il yesterday. The other day Front
street merchant and his wife were seated in \
street car, when another gentleman stepped
in. Tho moment he saw the aforementioned
party the latter said eagerly:
Because it comes to the surface to blow.
That's the answer, isn't it2"
yes" said the other, "but l didn't think
you'd guess it,"
"Why what did that gentleman meanp"
asked the merchants mystiied wife, after they
had left the car.
"Well, you SEQ, down at the club the other
day, l asked them all o conundrum; first ratio
thing, too-why is a whale like water lily2--
and none of them could guess it,"
Club! Why, you haven't belonged to
club for five years-not since we were mar
ried."
Haven't l? That's fact. Now, let me SEQ
when it was l asked Brown that conundrum,"
and by II careful comparison of dates it was
ascertained that Brown had kept the answer
fresh in his mind for exactly six years and five
months. This story is literally true and will
be sent carefully stuffed to any museum IL tho
country on receipt of the postage.
