Hottest Spot ON Earth.

One of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian Gulf,
where little or no rain fails. AT
Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh
water, yet a comparatively numer-
Gus population contrive to live
there, thanks TO the cOpiOus springs
which break forth from the bottom
of the sea. The diver, sitting in his
boat, winds a great goatskin bag
around his left arm, the hand grasp
ing its mouth; then takes in his
right hand Il heavy stone to which
is attached a strong line, and thus
equipped he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly open
ing the bag over the strong jet OF
fresh water, he springs up the as
cending current, at the same time
closing the bag, and is helped aboard.
The stone is then hauled up, and
the diver, after taking breath,
plunges again. The source of the
copious submarinesprings is thought
to be in the green hills of Osman,
some five or six hundred miles dis
fout

How Dobson rnresned MIN.

The other day Dobson was Sc
vereIy whipped at school. The boy
went home with his grievance and
explained to his father how he had
been mauled all over the floor, ham,
mered on the head and iammed up
against the wall. Of course the
youth did not exaggerate the facts
of the case, but gave the old man a
plain unvarnished recital of the
truth, just as boys always do under
the circumstances. Well, old Dob
son listened quite attentively to the
DOy's tale of suffering, and with a
powerful CLASSY examined scratch
on the boys head, caused, he said,
from being hammered with stove
poker. The old man promised that
be would call around at the school
house next day, and intimated that
he would "straighten things cut"
Next morning young Dobson took
several boys into his confidence and
told them that at 10 O'Clock sharp
his dad would come and mop the
floor with the teacher. "My old
mans terror when he gets started.
He's the liveliest old man you ever
saw. He can lick the teacher with
one hand tied behind him and both
ewes blindfolded. You'll see when
he gets on deck"
Thus did the proud youth dilate
on the qualities of his sire and raise
the pitch of expectation to the high
est notch. 1t was soon noised about
the school, and exactly at 10 O'Clock
Dobson the elder walked in. The
sound of whispering voices was
hushed, and in an instant the school
house was still as the grave. Young
Dobson felt himself grow taller inch
by inch.
al understand that you are the
man who punished my boy yester-
day." said Dobson, walking up to
the principal.

"What particular style would you
suggest ?'' asked the principal.

that way any more. want him
whipped harder and oftener. Once

only half-whipped. | want him
damned good. If you don't do it
as / want it I'll send him some
where else. / came to thank you,
however, for what you did as a
starter. Good-day."
By the time his father had fin
ished his speech, young Dobson's
head had sunk down lower and
lower until he was drawn below
the level of his shirt-cOllar, like a
tortoise, and now the boys take a
great delight in telling how Dobson
licked the principal.

MilIOn'S Youth.

Milton lived in a time when learn
ing was held of more account than
original gifts, and it was at twelve
wears of age that he entered upon
the system of acknowledgment
which was to prepare him for the
great work he believed himself deS-
tined to achieve. When a boy OF
twelve, he sliced learning, he tells
us, with such eagerness that ne
scarcely ever went to bed before
midnight; and there is no sweeter
picture than that called to mind by
Aubrey of the little enthusiast por-
ing over his books at midnight
while the family are asleep and the
maid servant is sitting up for him.
As a natural consequence, when he
was, at fifteen, sent TO st. PauPs
School, he had motor accomplish
ments, and, perhaps, for scholar
ship-an equal of his own age in
England. And when, two years
later, he went to Cambridge, 1t IS

at one moment is called gray, at an

were, perhaps, even then serious,
they were of perfect symmetry,
while his courageous look, his little
figure, erect, and of about the mid
die height, seemed to indicate eX-
actly the kind of youth needed at
Christ's in the frequent town and
gown "rows." 1t very soon became
evident, however, that his features
belied him. He was a good swords
man, undoubtedly, but he had no
leisure to exhibit his skill; he was
given to late hours, but it was to
rob from his sleep time for studying
all sorts of subjects in all sorts of
tongues. In short, his habits and
his morals were eccentric; the first
being most abstemious, the second
most VirtuOuS.

A Troubled ParsOn.
Harper's Magazine.

An old gentleman from the East,
of a clerical aspect, took the stage
from Denver south in ante-railrOad
days. The journey was not alto
gether a safe one, and he was not
treasured by the sight of number
of rifles deposited in the coach, and
nervously asked for what they
were.
"Perhaps you'll find out before
you git to the Divide, was the cheer
ing reply.
Among the passengers was a par
ticularly Git seemed to himl fierce
looking man, girded with a belt full
of revolvers and cartridges, and
clearly a road agent or assassin.
Some miles out, this person, taking
out large flask, asked, stranger,
do you irrigate?"
eff you mean drink, sir, / do
not"
"Do you object, stranger, to our
irrigating ?"
mo, SIR" And they drank ac-
cordingly.
After a further distance had been
traversed, the supposed brigand
again asked, stranger, 90 you Iu-
migate ?"
IF you mean smoke, sir, I do
not"
"Do you object, stranger, to our
fumigating ?"
"No, sir" And they then pro-
ceeded to smoke.

friend came to tender his money,
the proprietor said, "Your bilPs

supposed highwayman, who on be-
