The doctor was Mrs. Hyde's boarder

Queenie Brian, Mrs. Hyde's niece,
sat by the window busy with some
needle work.
Queenie was brilliant, slender lit
tie thing Of seventeen, with short
bayish curls, and big, roguish brown
eyes
On the death Of her parents years
before, she had been adopted by her
amt. Queenie was wayward, wllful
and b"witching, and ruled right roy
ally in the little village Of Wayland.
Her cousins, Tom and Johnny Hyde,
were devoted slaves, and she alter
nately petted and teasel them, Only

DR.. Gersham had grown wise thro'

On the afternoon Of the opening Of
my story, as the stalwart figure in the

Several evenings later, Queenie en-

reading his journal.
Doctor, see if I don't look nice ?
He put his paper aside and looked
at her. 1t was impossible to help ad-

her jaunty skating costume, she was
more bewitching than ever. But the
DOCTOR only said, as he struggled with

Queene shook her skates together
With a musical clash, tried to frown

ORIGIN OF "THE OLD OAKEN
BUCKET" THE Old Oaken Bucket
was written fifty or more years age
by printer named Samuel Wood
worth. He was in the habit Of drop
ping into a noted drinking saloon
kept by one Mallory, One day, after
drinking glass of brandy and wa
ter, he smacked his lips and declared
that Mallory's brandy was superior to
any drink lie had ever tasted.
No, said Mallory, you are mista-
ken. There was a drink which in
both our estmations far surpassed
this.
What was that increduously
asked Woodworth.
The fresh, cool water we used to
drink from the old oaken bucket that
hung in the well, alter returning
from the fields on a sultry day
Very true replied Woodwork,
tear drops glistening in his eyes.
Returning to his printing offi,e, he
seated himself at his desk and began
to write. In half an hour
"The old oaken bucket, the iron
bound bucket
The moss covered bucket which hung
in the well"
was enba!med in an inspiring song
that has become as familiar as d
household word.

Of Rotomahana, says: Eminent geol.
ogists who have examined this district
pronounce 1t the most wonderful nat
ural curiosity in the world. Let the
reader fancy himself standing upon
the shore Of lake some twenty-siX
miles in length, and from five to sew
en- miles wide, its margin indented
by advancing promontories and reced-
ing curvatures. On his right stands
lofty mountain, presenting to the
lake precipitous side, broken by ter
race upon terrace, irregularly formed
Of powders and covered with cling
vines. Beyond, a narrow strip Of Wa.
ter pierces the land, its transparent
bosom rejecting every light and shade
cast upon it by its colossal neighbor.

a different temperature, ranging from

SO called from its being continually
enveloped in q cloud Of steam that
rises from thousand crevices in the
rocks. lnnumerable small lakes are
next seen, all Of which are constantly
at the boiling point. The remainder
of the lake shore is a succession Of
terraces, formed by the overflow of
smaller lakos, whose waters being
strongly alkaline, and possessing a
delicate coloring matter, have tinted
the terrace formations beautiful
pink.
