A Child in a snakes Coil.

When Mr.. Sarpain, of Yatesville, on the
outskirts of Pittston, Pa, entered the
room in which his child, one year old, had
been left few minutes previously one af-
ternoon, he was horrified TO ind a big
black snake coiled around the little ones
body. The glittering eyes OF the serpent
were glaring upon those of the child, who
appeared transfixed by the terrible glance,
and the head of the monster swayed to and
fro as if charming the little one, who sp-
peared TO be unable to move or make an
outcry. The terrified father, on beholding
this frightful spectacle, gave an involun-
tary cry of pain, which brought the other
members of the family running to the room
1t had also the: effect of frightening the
reptile, which speedily uncoiled itself, and,
in the confusion and fright of the moment,
succeeding in escaping. As soon as the
terror subsidized to some extent the snake
was followed, but it had secreted Itself in
the neighboring shrubbery, making
discovery if impossible, although a diligent
search ensued. After its departure the
child cried piteously for more than an hour
and appeared terribly distressed. the lit
tie one has been in great agony ever since,
but is expected TO recover. Although un-
der the influence Of the reptile when the
father came, there is no evidence of its
having sustained any physical injury, but
the shock to the nervous system must have
been terrible

The North Pole.

An intelligent infant under the joint
superintendent of clairvoJant and the
spirit of the late Indian Chief Wampa, has
seen with the minds eye the North Pole,
and has written out description of the
landscape. The Pole is situated on an
island, having a gradual rise from the
waters edge to about the middle Of It. On
some parts of it appear only bare rocks,
on other parts it has an abundant vegeta-
ton. About half OF it, the east side, is
covered with fruit trees. In some parts they
grow into dense thickets; in some they
grow not so close together, and have grass
thickly interpersed among them. The
fruit consists of oranges, lemons, bana-
mas, cocoanuts and other tropical fruits.
This part of the pole is inhabited by beetles,
white and black ants, grasshoppers, and
many other kinds OF insects, all unusually
large; also by many different species Of
the monkey tIibe. On the west side of the
island the vegetation Is not so dense. II
has many tropical fruits, but the trees are
small. Among the natural products are
the gooseberry, blackberry, grape, currant,
raspberry and mandrake. But il differs
from the east side in having no monkeys,
and in having vast numbers Of birds Of
every size and plumage. Among them ART
the ostrich, swan, goose, duck, quail, robir
and hummIng bird On both sides are MANY
mall streams. The water oftheseispure ant
clear as crystal. The temperature Of botf
sides is warm. 1t does not vary. Here tn

What we Call Terra Firma /"

The rivers by the sea, apart from the as
tonishment and wonder which their stu
pendous proportions must arouse in the
mind of the student of nature, present
themselves to US ss subject of paramount
interest, when we consider the part which
they have played and are still PLAYING in
the building up of the top-most layer OF
the solid earth crust, in the perpetual
changes of climate conditions, in the dis
tribution Of vegetable and animal life over
the surface of our planet, and last not
least, in the recent advance Of ocean navi-
cation, by which the inhabitants of the
most distant lands have been brought into
close intercourse with each other. The
erosive action of currents constantly tends
to alter the configuration Of the coast lines,
by taking away land in one place and de-
posting it elsewhere. Again, immense
quantities of sediment carried by all the
rivers of the world into the sea are taken
up by the currents and spread over the bed
Of the ocean. Biologists tell us that nearly
all, if not all, the dry land at present ex-
isting, has at one time been at the bottom
of the sea, an assertion confirmed by the
fact that the strata which compose some OF
the loftiest mountain ranges, have evi-
IDENTIFY been deposited in ages long past
upon the floor Of the ocean, and still re-
tain the remains of animals which deported
themselves in the seas Of former days.
What we are still In the habit Of calling
''terra firms' is proved by modern obser.
vaiions to be in constant motion, rising and
falling like the heaving breast of some
mighty monster, whose arms stretch far
beneath the waves BY the action OF the
subterraneous forces, as yet unexplained,
vast areas Of the earth-crust are depressed
below or lifted up above the level of the
sea, and We are beginning at last to under
stand the truth Of the maxim, that there is
nothing stable in the universe Of created
things except the unstable.

Our Literary Men.

The most celebrated OF our historians,
essayists, poets, have, as rule, been dis
tinguished in college for excellent scholar
ship George Bancroft was high scholar
in Harvard's class of 1917, and was par
ticulariy distinguished for his sttainments
in philosophy. He was also honored with
the class-day poetship of his class, which
does not, however indicate in itself high
scholarship. Among the high scholars of
the class of 1914 was William Hickling
Prescott, who delivered, as his commence
ment part, a Latin poem, "Ad Spem:n
and of the next class of 1915, the historian
of New England, Doctor Palfrey, was a
distinguished member. Though John
Lothrop Motley's college rank was not so
high as Doctor PaIfrey's yet its excellence
indicated, to certain degree, his future
eminence; and his literary tastes are mani
tested in the subject of his commencement
part, ''The Influence of Multiplication of
Books upon Literature" The cultured
scholarship of Edward Everett, excellent
in every department of college study gave
HIM the first place in the class of 1911;
and his commencement ora;ion, son Liter
ary Evils" and his Grafton for the second
degree, s'On the Restoration of Greece"
I forecast the literary and classical character
of the work of his entire life Though
Ralph Waldo Emerson was not among the
highest scholars of his class, yet his rank
was most honorable. His commencement
part was conference" with two class
mates, "On the Character of John Knox,
Will am Penn, and John Wesley" Mr..
Emerson was also the classday poet of his
class of 1921 Our great novelist did not
succeed in obtaining q flrst-class rank al
Bowdom, as did his class-mate, LOngfellow.
Hawthorn wrote, in his college days,-as
Professor Packard, who was one of his in
structors, informs me,-'.fine Latin and
English" /" but no commencement part was
assigned him, perhaps, because he re-
quested not to have one," Mr. George Rip
ley was distinguished at Harvard for his
scholarship in the class of 1923, and deiiv,
cred an Grafton for his second degree on
1.-The Claims of the Age on the Young
men of fAmerica"-claims which he has foI
the last fifty years done 50 much to fulfil.
Mr.. Longfellow was high scholar in Bow
doin's most celebrated class Of 1S25-tht
class of John s. G Abbott and Geo. b
Cheever, as well as of Hawthorne; anC
some of the most graceful of his gradua
tion. That long list of poems, dedicated
to Harvard's class of 1929. with which, a
their annual meetings, Oliver Wendell
Holmes has delighted his classmates, be
gan on his class and commencement day
Doctor Holmes served as poe. on butl
these occasions, AMI was an excellen
scholar of the famous class. Though tn
course of William Cullen Bryant at VII
lism's College was limited to two years
yet in them he gained distinction for hi
attaiumeuts in the languages and in htera
ture.

The Leaves and tho Wind.

Once ona time little leaf was heard to
sigh and cry as leaves often do when a
gentle wind is about. And the twig said ;
whats the matter little leaf?"
''The wind,' said the leaf, '.just told me
that one day it would pull me of, and
throw me to the ground to die"
The twig told ii to the branch, and the
branch told it to the tree. ~
And when the tree heard it, it rustled all
over, and sent back word TO the leaf.
''Do not be afraid, hold on tightly. and
you shall not go off till you want to-"
And so the leaf stopped signing, and
went on singing and rlstling. And so il
grew all summer long till October And
when the bright days of autumn came, the
leaf saw all the leaves around become very
beautiful. Some were yellow, and some
were scarlet, and some were striped with
colors. Then it asked the tree what it
meant And the tree said:
'.Ail these leaves are getting ready to
fly away, and they have put on these colors
because of their joy
Then the little leaf began TO want to 20,
and grew very beautiful in thinking of it.
And when it was very gay in colors, it saw
that the branches of the tree had no color
In them, and SO the leaf said:
80 branch. why are you 30 lead colored,
and we golden7"
''We must keep on our work clothes, :"
said the tree, ''for our work is not yet done,
but your clothes are for holiday, because
your task is over"
Just then little puff of wind came, and
the leaf let go without thinking of it, and
the wind took il up and turned it over, and
then let it fall gently down under the edge
of fence among hundreds of leaves, and
it never walked up to tell what it dreamed
about.

Old Timber.

Probably the oldest timber in the world
which has been subjected to the use of
man is that found in the ancient temples
of Egypt in connection with the stonework
which is known to be at least four thous-
aud years old. This, the only wood used
in the construction Of the temple, is in the
form of ties, holding the end Of one stone
to another at its proper surface. When
two blocks were laid in place. an excava-
ton about an inch deep was made in erch
block, into which tie shaped like an hour
glass was driven. 1t is therefore very diff
ficult to force any stone from its position.
The ties appear to have been of the lamar
isk or shittem wood, Of which the ark was
constructed, sacred tree in ancient Egypt
and now very rarely found in the valley Of
the Nile. The Gove-tailed ties are just as
sound now, as ON the day Of their insertion.
Although fuel is extremely scarce in the
country, these bits of wood are not large
enough to make it an object with the
Arabs to heave of layer after layer to oh.
tain them. Had they been of bronze, hall
the old temples would have been destroyed
years ago, 20 precious would they have
been for various purposes.

About half an hour after Jacks return,
Pat entered the front door and started up
stairs with rollicking song on his lips.
He was dressed in the usual short, blue
uniform jacket and q pair of tight-fitting
