A Puzzled parSOn,

An old gentleman from the East, of clcr-
ical ASPECT, took the stage from Denver south
in antc-railroad days. The journey was not
altogether safe one, and he was not rc-assllr-
ed by the sight of Il number of rifles deposit
ed in the COACH and ncrvousy asked what
were they for
''Perhaps you'll find out before you get to
the Divide" was the cheering reply.
Among the passengers was a particularly
Git seemed to HIM fierce looking man, girdcd
with belt full of rcvolvers and cartridges,
and clearly road agent or assassin. Some
miles out, this person, taking out large flask,
asked, stranger do you irrigate? ?"
"If you mean drink, sir, do not"
'Do you object, stranger, to our irrigat-
ing?
"No, sir" And they drank accordingly
After a further distance had been travcrsed,
the supposed brigand again asked, stranger,
do you fumigate?"
of you mean smoke, sir, do not"
'Do you object, stranger, to our tumiga-
tinng?"
"No, sir" And they proceeded to smoke
AT the dining place, when our friend came
TO tender his money, the proprietor said,
"Your bills paid"
"Who paid t?'
"That manipulating to the supposed
highwayman, who, ON being asked if he had
not made mistake, replied, "Not at ALL You
see, when we saw that you didn't irrigate
and didn't fumigatc, we knew that you was
a parson. And your bills are all right as long
as you travel with this crowd We've got a
respect for the Church-you betw twas no
highwayman, but respectable resident OF

Spring RnIhS.

The only objection made to beds of spring
bulbs is that though beautiful beyond de-
scription while the bulbs are in flower, the
time of blooming is short, and thereafter the
beds look bare and are not available for other
purposes This fault can be overcome bya
little management and the use of such bulbs
as bloom successfully. The following ar
rangement has proved successful with us for
several years:
Makea round bed ofany size, and plant an
inner circular row of crocuses, and next out
side a row of hyacinths, then a second row
of crocuses, and next one oftulips. Continue
this until the bed is Matchmaking every
second row crocuses, and alternating hva-
cinths and tulips between them. The row
on the extreme edge must be crocuses, and
the space insides of the first row should be
filled with tulips and hyacinths The effect
of bed thus prepared is extremely pretty
for long time and thus arranged, it MAY
remain undisturbed two or three wears.
Snow is no sooner gone than the bed is
bright with the CHEEKY little crocuses, which
apparently cover the whole surface. These
will hardly have passed away when we have

ent rolls of the Tower of London, granted
testimonials to q noble Hungarian and Lom-
bard that had made the pilgrimage to st. Pat
rick's Purgatory and in 1897 King Richard
III. granted safe-conduct to the chamber
lain of the King of France to make the same
pilgrimage; and he published an account of
his pilgrimage on his return. We have not
space for description of this Purgatory, but
according to old writers, it was about as
horrible as human nature could well bear.
The old English Calendar set down the
18th March as the day upon which Noah en-
tered the Ark, and the Goth of April as the
day of his egress therefrom. Medieval le-
gends declare that Mrs. Noah was q shrew of
the very worst type The life she led Noah
was simply outrageous When Noah told
her of the coming flood, first communicated
to him by the Creator, she abused him so I'M
stintedly for his credulty, that he was forced
to tell her to hold her tongue. She became
so violent that the old fellow was provoked
to striking her, whereupon she returned the
blows so rapidly and well directed, that Noah
threw up the sponge and begged for quarter.
When the Ark was finished it was so defect
i've in form that Mrs. Noah, in the eloquent
vernacular of the time, solemnly declared she
would rather perish than ride in such an
"oyster." She was also a notorious gossip,
and wanted to take some of her gossipping
cronies with her, whereupon another quarrel
ensued and Noah went aboard and left her.
Just then her three sons came along and
dragged her into the Ark, and closed and
barred the door upon her. She renewed the
fight with Noah in which he came off victer,
she declaring that she was beaten "blue;"
and the boys set up II howl over the unfortu-
nate family dscord. We know that in his
old age Noah was somewhat given to over
drinking, but the poets of the earlier days
have no hesitation in saying that Mrs. Noah
long INDUCED that habit. (No doubt the
conduct of his wife drove him to dissipation
for that is the modern way of accounting,
usually, for the bad habits of married menu
IrTevercnt tradition says that she and her
gossipping neighbors were singing as follows
when she was forced into the ark
"The ilude comes littnge in full taste,
On cverye syde that spreades full fare;
Good gOssippes, lett us drawe mere,
And lett us drnke or [erel we dcpartc,
For ofte tymes we have done soc.
For att droughte thou drinkes quartz,
And soc will doe or Iere goe.
Heare is II puttii full Of ;:ia!niS;nc good and
sronge;
1t will rejoice bouth hearte and tongue;
Though Noye NOAH thinkc us never so lOnge,
Hcare we will drnke alike
