The Boy and the Procession.

What would procession be without
the attending escort of boys? Did you
ever see procession with no boys lead
ing the advance or following along by the
side of it? Never, unless it was fun
eral procession. But there is another
procession that he doesn't take stock in.
His proudest position is right alongside
of the drum major, and he would feel
that kick from that gorgeous parsonage
OF thump from his staff with the big,
gilded knob, would be the highest honor
he could receive. The next most desira-
BILE position is next to the man who blows
the bass-drum, which he will hold for
squares at the imminent risk of having
his brains knocked out by the big drum
stick. And you can't tire the boys out
either, no matter how protracted the
march may be. A few may lag along
the line, cheerfrllly tripping up soldier
now and then, but theirplaces are quick
ly filed up at the head of the column.
There they go, some white, some black,
some barefooted, some without jacket,
and others bareheaded. They are ire
pressible, and it doesn't do any good for
the marshal to shake his sword at them
and order them away, or for policemen
to threaten. They are the sef-appoint-
ed advance guard of the procession, and
cannot be discharged OF dispersed

/" When Is He Going to Talk Hog ?"

It was while Garfield was making the
speech in which he presented the name
of John Sherman, in which he led up to
his nominee in graceful words, reserving
the mention of his name to the very last,
that the most distinguished delegate
from Massachusetts beckoned to a gen
tleman from Michigan who was sitting
near him and said, "This reminds me of
the celebrated case for the recovery OF
hogs" CT am not familiar with it, %
said the gentleman from Michigan.
Why responded the gentleman from
Worcester, g a man brought suit to re-
cover his hogs. His counsel, in address
ing the jury, spent two hours in going
over all the law points involved, and at
last his client becoming impatient, in
terrupted the proceedings by asking the
judge if he might ask his counsel a ques-
ton. The judge ruled that such pro-
cedure was hardly allowable in open
court, and the client acquiesced with the
remark, I only wanted to ask him when
he was going to talk about my hogs"

Dog Travel in the Winnipeg County.
I From Good Words


For winter travel dogs have hitherto
been largely used, as with light loads
they are swifter than horses. To drive
a team of dogs it is said that one must
be able to swear in English, French, or
Cree, while to be first rate dog-driver
requires a fluent command of profanity
in the three languages. Some years ago
a well-lmown Winnipeg ecclesiastic was
making an extended winter trip; the
dogs, though frequently whipped, made
little progress, so the bishop remon-
strated with the driver. That function
airy replied that he could not make them
60 unless he swore at them; absolution
was therefore given him for the trip, and
the dogs, hearing the familiar expletives,
trotted along briskly. Dog-driving,
however, is passing out of use in the
northwest, as it is becoming much more
expensive to keep dogs than it is to keep
horses. While buffalo were abundant
and every post and wigwam could have
unlimited pemmican it was easy for any
man to keep kennel; but as the buffalo
are rapidly disappearing, and as the dogs
must be fed throughout the whole year
while the horses can forage for them
selves at all seasons, horses are being
used almost entirely on the prairies, ex-
cept in the more northern districts,
where game and fish are very abundant.

it came is still uncertain, bit it it is IN
teresting to note that the same kind OF
substance has fallen in 1916, precisely IN
the same departments, and in 1868 In

VOLCANIC LAKE.
M. de Lesseps is credited with describ-
on his return to Europe singular geo.
logical phenomenon. In the republic OF
San Salvador there is lake called Ilo-
pango, and in January Of this year, after
few premonitory shocks of earthquake,
three craters suddenly opened in the
middle of the lake, and belched forth
immense volumes of steam, dust and
fiery cinders. BY and by the three vents
merged into one, and an islet of "tutf .
and lava uprose above the surface of the
waters. Attempts were made to APP
proach this young volcanic island, but
the feat was found to be impossible,
owing to the boiling of the waters and
the showers of dust and clouds of vapor
enveloping it. According to latest ac-
counts, the new volcano continues to
. vomit forth great quantities of steam
virulent gases. All the fishes of the lake
are parboiled, and flat upon the surface
of the water amid the bodies of innumer-
able dead shell fish and aquatic animals.
1t is significant fact that the outburst
was preceded by an exceptional rise in
the level of the lake, owing to the rains.
This appears to be the first instance on
record of volcano bursting up through
the waters of an inland lake; but sub
marine volcanoes breaking out in the
ocean bed are no very rare phenomena.

THE lEAFY TIME OF JUNE.

The leaves are green upon the bough;
The swallows on the wing;
The cuckoo's note, from yonder wood,
Doth all melodious ring.
1t is the time when every bird
His mellowest pipe doth tune;
OF cloudless skies, of Summer flowers,
The leafy time of Junel a
The lilies white upon the pool
Their golden stamens show; x
Their snowy cups bright-mirrored in
The silver stream below.
And like meteor flashing swift
And sudden from the sky,
Darts arrowy across the reeds
The jeweled dragon-fy.
The roses scent and meadow-hay AZ
Perfume the Summer air; ~
The buttercups and cowslip bells
Their yellowest vestments wear.
For Ills the balmy blossom-time,
When Nature doth attune
All hearts her beauties to enjoy l.
The leafy time of June.

form, have lately been introduced 1t is
asserted that this kind of hoop, when
driven upon dry barrel or tub, not only
congresses and holds the slaves tightly
together, like the ordinary hoop, but has
elasticity or spring enough to stretch
when the slaves expand by moisture, and
return to it's former position when the
slaves again contract on becoming dry;
the hoops in this way adapting them
selves to the expansion and contraction
of the barre, and the annoyance of loose
OF bursting hoops is avoided. By form
ing the corrugations to rest hatwise
against the stavesno obstruction is offer
ed to rolling such barrels, while much
greater amount of friction surface is
brought to bear upon the slaves, increas-
ing their holding power.

THE CARE OF STEAM BOILERS.


A recent French writer speaks of the
injurious effect of emptying steam boilers
soon after having stopped them, because,
after emptying, the plates will be heated
by the action of the masonry-it being
well, therefore, to admit a current of air
through the hues some hours after the
stoppage of the generator, and not to
empty it before the fues become cooled
to temperature below three hundred
degrees. When the hues are not too hot
no serious inconvenience is experienced
in emptying the boiler under pressure
This of course applies to externally fired
boilers; but in the case of those internally
fired it is well-there being no masonry
to cool in the furnace tubes-to admit
the current of air intended to cool the
masonry behind the boiler, as in this
case the furnaces would be cooled more
rapidly than the jacket.
