Where Forged Note Proved Good.

The why old president of a New Eng
land commercial bank is known among
the younger financial fry of his town as
cold Nails"-possibly from his incisiy g
decisions and driving way of doing bust
ness. Some time ago business man of
the place, and brother in good standing
of the church, had note discounted at
this old worthy's bank When it came
due, the president, at the solicitation of
the makers friends, though against his
own judgment, extended it. When the
final time of payment came, the note was
discovered to be forgery, to the scandal
of the church and the establishment of
the town, but not that of the astute bank
president.
The brethren, however, rallied around
the erring one, the note was paid, and
the matter supposed to be hushed up.
Some time after, however, the bank re-
ceived letter from another financial in
stitution, asking their opinion as to Mr..
Ms note.
odd Nails said he would answer the
letter which he did as follows:
" President - Bank
DEAR SIR lin regard to Mr.--'s note,
we would say: " If it is forgery, it will be
paid by the First --- Church of Bushytown.
If it is genuine, it is not worth cent Re-
spectfully yours,

The End of the World.

A lecture delivered at the Berlin Uni
versity some three months ago by Pro-
fessor Du Bots Raymond bears the omi-
nous title, "The End of Our World, and
says that every movement of our planet,
with the exception of the ebb and flood,
which is caused by the attraction of the
moon, is occasioned by solar heat. AS,
however, the sun loses every year por-
ton of this calorie, science has lately
come to the conclusion that he will not
exist as an emitter of warmth more than
seventeen million years to come. During
that space of time our earth will ret
colder and colder, in proportion as the
solar heat shall diminish The ice will
advance from the poles to the equator;
the earth's population will gradually re-
cede before the advancing glaciers; the
sun will become less and less luminous.

Disappearance of Lake of Lava

One feature of the last eruption of the
remarkable volcano in the Sandwich Is
lands, is the fact that the great molten
lake of lava, occupying huge caldron
nearly a mile in length, and known US
the South Lake" was drawn off sub
TREMENDOUSLY, giving no warning of its
movements, and leaving no visible indi-
cation of its pathway or the place of its
final deposit. Other eruptions," writes
DR.. Coan to Professor Dean in letter
dated June 20, "have blazed their way
on the surface of the sea, or while on
their subterranean way have rent the
superincumbent beds, throwing out jets
of steam or of sulphurous gases, with
here and there small patches or areas
of lava. But as yet, no surface marks
of this kind reveal the silent, solemn
course of this burning river. One theory
is that it flowed deep into subterranean
assures, and finally disembogued far out
at sea. Our ocean was much disturbed
during those days, and we had what
might be called a tidal wave of moderate
magnitude" The old process of replen-
ishment which had gone on since the
last eruption in 1868, is reported to have
begun again, and after another decade
another disagreement may take place.

Was That all He Could Do!

A negro named Elijah, who died some
time ago at Oxford, n G., was famous
throughout that whole region for his
amazing strength. He was six feet four
inches high and weighed two hundred
and thirty pounds. He could take up a
barrel containing thirty or forty gallons,
stand erect and hold the bung to his
mouth and drink out of it; he could
throw an ordinary-sized anvil twenty
five yards; he could pull down" four
men with a handspike at one time; he
could shoulder and carry log that
would make seventy-fve or hundred
rails, and could lift three-year-old colt
over an eight-rail fence He once killed
a deer on Mayfeld's Mountain with a
rock, overlook and dispatched black
bear with an axe, and caught and ham
strung ferocious bull.

Yankee Stories.

A New Englander, riding in rail
road car, off southwest somewhere,
seemed particularly disposed to astonish
the other passens with tough stories
about Yankeedom. A last he mentioned
that one of his neighbors owned an i'm
mense dairy, and made million pounds
of butter and a million pounds of cheese
yearly. This story produced some sensa-
ton, and the Yankee seeing that his
veracity was in danger of being question,
appealed to friend as follows:
"True, isn't it, Mr.. P? speak of
Deacon Brown you know Deacon
Brownw
" Ye-e-s," replied the friend, that is,
yes; know Deacon Brown. | don't
know as | ever heard precisely how
many pounds of butter and cheese he
makes year, but know that he has
twelve sawmills that all go by butter

Clown with Malatesta roared a still

Malatesta had heard this last exclama-
ton. He rose from his throne and
called out to the archers

citizens back.
The mounted archers charged the
crowd in order to disperse it, But a
hailstorm of stones was showered down
upon them. TheirhOrses were frightened,
strong arms tore them from their saddles,
and they were miserably Drained with
heavy bludgeoHs All this had been
done in few moments. Malatesta had
turned deadly pale. He saw that he

But the arehers were as cowardly as
they were villainous. They deserted the
tyrant in this extremity But the ex-
aSperated multitude caught all of them
and put them to death.
But now an extraordinary scene took
place. Malatesta had been thrown to
the ground by three citizens. The pris-
oners, as matter of course, had been
liberated. Aesiello approached the pros
trate tyrant. Now" he said to Mala-
tesla, you shall suffer the death which
you had prepared for IT'S, Ny friends"
he added, turning to the citizens, "bring
the executioner here"
The latter arrived, trembling with
fear. He willingly did as he was hidden.
He fastened the feet of Malatesta to the
ring in the scafold. Then he dealt him
a terrible blow on the left temple with a
stone hammer Malatesta dropped sud
denly In second the executioner was
on the breast of his victim. He then
ripped open his clothes with a sharp
knife, and then cut horrible cash in
his left breast. Into this cash the
wretch inserted his right hand, and then
withdrew it, producing the still reeking
heart of the tyrant The citizens greeted
the sickening spectacle with deafening
acclamations In their blood thirsty
frenzy they massacred avery person in
Rimini that had supported Malatesta.
His palace was sacked and burned to the
ground. For few years the small re-
public hourished; then its fate, owing
to the wars of invasion, became as de-
plorabe as ever.

She Married the Wrong Man.
Halifax Dispatch Toronto Mall


A curious case occurred here last
night. On Wednesday night female
sought protection at the police station.
She said she was to be married the night
following to a corporal, of marines:
Last night she turned up at church, but
instead of the corporal, private of
marines appeared to fill the post of
bridegroom. He had license, and she
either did not notice the change for a
moment, or did not care, and the cere-
mony was performed 1t turned out
the corporal was drinking at saloon to
nerve him for the expected task, while
the private, who had previously arranged
to cut him out, was being married. All
three subsequently met in bar-room.
The bride was wild with grief, and
throwing her arms around the neck of
the man who was to have been her hus-
band, swore she would never leave him.
The successful and unsuccessful suitors
then INDUCED in long and hard fstic
combat. The bride refused to live with
her husband and he left her.

reasonable enjoyment of life. Just here
occurs to me point in regard to storing
carriages either over or alongside horse
stables. 1t should never be done. The
ammonia from the manure destroys the
varnish, and causes it to crack, and it
injuries harness. A carriage-house should
be well separated from the stables, and

From information in our possession,

disposed to believe that the surplus from
this side of the Atlantic is considerably
understated in the above estimate; but
there is no doubt that the demand will
fully equal the supply, and prices there

Continental buyers, especially French,
have hitherto been the heaviest investors

follow their example, and when they do,
