During the Lenten season the rink will be more popular than ever, especially at the music assemblies, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoon. Beginning Wednesday evening music will be in attendance on that evening instead of Sat urday evening as heretofore, the Broad way band, IS pieces, furnishing delightful music. The music makes it very attractive to spectators as well as the skaters as they ron around in the different steps, makinga very pretty sight. There wele about fifty children on the floor at the children's assem- ply Saturday morning making very noisy and happy party. Next Saturday there are to be some prizes given to the children for good skatingi etc.

sickness In tho Cara.

Many persons, especially ladies, are great
sufferers from that form of nausea and
headache known as "car sickness" a
journey by rail has for them all the d,. =
comfort and suffering that an ocean voyage
has to majority OF travellers. The effects
Of the motion of tue car range from a mid
disturbance OF the stomach and an accom- .
panying headache to "dcathly sickness, D
with intense nausea and complete prostra
ton, according to the condition and scnss
tivcncss Of the victim. In the lightcst
form the sensation is sufficiently unpleasant t
to make travel by rail thoroughly dis.
agreeable; IN it's worst, and by no means
uncommon type, 1t invests this necessary
and convenient method Of journcying with
dread and despair. A SIMPLE and harmless
preventive Of car sickness has recently
come to the knowledge Of the writer, un-
der circumstances that leave no doubt of
its efficacy with some persons; and If the
device will work equally well in other
Gases, knowledge of it ought certainly to
be spread abroad. 1t Is at least worth q
trial of all who suffers inconvenience IN
travelling. A lady who had occasion to
take short trip on tho Lowell road-and
she never travels by rail for pleasure--was
a is usual with hor, as throughly sick
as ever landsnan Is Oh the 'heavlng deep,
by the time size had ridden dozen miles.

parently very familiar with such cases.

Fall of n Church Tower.

A fortnight ago half Of the tower of the
cathedral church Of ST. John, Chester,
England, fell with a crash Of masonry and
clangor of bells. The tower rose to a
height Of 100 feet, and was landmark for
the surrounding country. An immense
crack, Which extended from the summit to
the base for years past, had, after the rigors
of the past winter, opened more widely,
and the whole tower had given such signs
of insecurity tnat the authorities of the
church had taken steps to repair it. These
precautions came too late, however, for on
the north side the tower was evidently
giving way, and was pronounced unsafe
by the builder engaged on tho work. The
church itself, and tho abbey adjoining,
date from Saxon times, and the tower,
built Of the rcd sandstone of the district,
In the early English style of architecture,
was ono of It's most beautiful features In
the tower was peal of eight bells, the
most melodious in tho city, and i've of
these lie buried in the ruins, While the
other three a"e suspended in the belfry by
the most slender support. The body of
the church has not suffered, except to a
slight extent, the tower being isolated from
it. The most serious loss is the dcslruc-
ton OF a massive and beautiful early Eng
lish porch and gateway.

Fresn " atcr spring IN tho Atlantic

One OF The most remarkable displays of
nature may be seen on the Atlantic coast,
eighteen miles south Of st. Augustine or
Matanzas Inlet and three miles from shore,
a mammoth fresh water spring gurglcs up
from the depth of the ocean with such force
and volume as to attract the attention Of
all who come IN its immediate vicinity.
This fountain is large, bold and turbulent.
1t Is noticeable TO fishermen and others pas
sing In small boats along near the shore.
For many years this wonderful and mys-
teri0us freak of nature has been known TO
the people of st. Augustine and those living
along the shore, and some of the supcrsti-
tious ones have been taught to regard it
with kind of rcyercntlal awe, or holy
horror, as the abode of supernatural intlu.

half an acre shows this troubled appear

washerwoman's kettle. Six or eight years
ago Commodore Hitchcock Of the United

and his attention was directed to the springs
by the uphcavings of the water, which
threw his ship from her course as she en-.

Farmers Houses.

Many of our farmer friends in the st,te
will doubtless build new houses this year,
and TO such we will throw out a few prac-
tical hints for them to consider:
Build with the intention of making a
permanent home for yourself and your
child after you. Do not build home for
some one else to occupy; therefore have it
lifted to your own wants.
Having decided to build, first consider
what rooms you want, and then estimate
your means for providing them. Don't
mortgage the farm for the sake of living In
a new house.
Build thorough. Commence at the bot
tom with a good foundation or cellar wall,
as this is matter Of first Importance. 1t
will be cheaper in the end and give more
satisfaction to build Of good substantial
materials, and in thorough manner, than
to build of cheap stuff by the job.
The number OF rooms each ono must
decide for himself-somc will want more,
others less, but see to it-and if you feel
yourself unified for the task, consult one
experienced III building-that they arc well
arranged. The rooms most in use, kitchen,
living room and dining-room, should have
precedence over those only used OCCASION
ally.
SO arrange the rooms that the cellar and
chamber can both be reached from the kit
clen, even il you have. what every ono
should have, Stairs In the front entry. We
have seen houses in which the only en-
trance to the cellar from in doors was under
the front stairs, twenty or thirty feet from
the kitchen.
BY all means make provision for enter
ing the cellar from out of do )rs, for the prr-
pose of carrying IN and removing barrels,
or anything else.
If possible, the partitions of the first story
should be directly under those OF the upper
story, for the purpose of securing solidity
and lirmness to the entire structure.
Keep the house we'll painted inside as
well as out. In all cases VIC would advise
the ciettion of two story houses. The cx-
ira expense over an ordinary story and Il.
half house, is very tritiing; and the better
accommodations of the second story. cspc-
caIly is, as is generally the case, they arc
used as sleeping rooms, will more than
compensate for the additional expense.

The Pennsylvania Railroad,

"Fhe Pennsylvania ralroad," says Post

Shoep That Travel.

Travelling sheep are another of the insti-
tutions of the colony in Southern Austria
lia. In pastoral country like this there
must of necessity always be numbers of
''stock" changing hands; thus. sheep and
cattle may be met almost every day pass
ing from one station to another. BY law,
sheep arc compelled TO travel six miles per
day; cattle nine miles; and horses twenty.
Sheep arc often met with travelling for
"fccd" that is, the owners thereof, having
over stocked their runs, find the grass
failing; 30 they send large mob of sheep
of to some imaginary buyer, some hun
dreds of miles off, choosing of course the
route by which they will pick up most
grass. After saunl ering along for month
or two, perhaps the ram has come; and
there being now plenty of grass, the sheep
are brought home by roundabout way.

older scholars. The average Of diseased
eyes ranged corrcspondingly from 80 to 90
per cent. The instances where ary blame

RAINY DAYS.

The spring day rose from her sleeping
In the deop, dim oaverns OF mist,
With the waiting world to be keeping
Her brief and beautiful tryst;
But her sweet oyes openod wooping
as tho sunshine her pale lids kissed,
And thus she rose from hor sleeping
In the caverns OF eastern mist.
The world hath dreamed Of tho meeting,
From the first Of the ferthercst years
But hor hand was cold to his grobting.
And hor checks wero bitter with tears
Her voice was tho wind repeating
Tho pain Of the heart that hears
But tho world WAS glad of tho m citing
To the last OF tho lingering years.
For forth from hor toars camo flowers,
And out OF her grief delight.
And the buds swelled under the showers
Tho blossoms, with sandals white,
Climbed up to their forest bowers,
From the broken seeds and night,
But who could foretoll tho flowers,
Or SEQ in the grief delight.

"Nunc iro Tuno.W

In the early days of California history,
Judge Is. was the Judge Of the First
Instance In the town OF Santa Cruz. The
judge, like many old Californians, was
fond OF hot whlskey at night; and would
at times, with circle of copgenial friends,
keep watch until morning; in conseuuence
OF which his brain would be slightly
muddled When he went on the bench. On
one occasion. after nigh of deep potations,
Spaniard was brought before him to be
tried for horse stealing crime punishable
at that time by death. The judge, but a
short time previous, had valuable horse
stolen from his stables. Tho defendant
was a hard featured, wretched specimen OF
the genius greuser; and when the Judge
heard the indictment read, he took one
unsteady but searching look at him, and
said: 81. b., stand upl believe you
arc the scoundrel wh) st my horse.
The sentence Of this court is, that you be
hanged by the mock until you are dead
dead-deadl"
But, your honor" says the District
Attorney, "the man has not been tried"
The judge sternly said. "Sit dow sir :;
this court knows its business, and don't
want any Of your impcrtinence. Mr..
Sheriff, see the judgment executed i'm
mediately. This court stands adjourned. +"
The officers of the court and spectators
were aslounded, but they knew the temper
of the old man too well to triflc with him
in his present condition, 80 nothing could
be done but to remand the prisoner to iail,
until the judge should sober up.
After the adjournment, the officers OF the
court determined among themselves to
have the judgment duly entered up by the
clerk, and that the sheriff make return
that he had executed the defendant. Next
morning the judge went on the bench
Sober, and glancing over the calendar,
called the case of the People .: ). B. The
sheriff replied. "Your honor, the man
has been hung"
"Huny!' replied tho judge, chow is
that3 there has been no trial yet"
"No, your honor" replied tho clerk,
"but your honor yesterday waved the trial
and sentenced the defendant, and peremp-
torily ordered the sheriff to immediately
carry the sentence of the court Into execu-
ton; and 1t Was done"
"Umph!" says the judge, "ncver mind
let the trial proceeded nunc pro tune
all orders and judgments of the courts must
be justified by due and legal proceedings
had.
The judge was IN earnest, tho joke was
ended, and nothing remained but to bring
in the prisoner for trial. 1t need not be
said that the sentence Of the court was
justified; and that shortly after there was
one less horsc-thief in that part Of the
country.
