The Colae.. FIaee on Earrh.

The coolest place on earth is not, as has
been believed by meteorologists, Yakntsk,
Siberia but Verkoyansk in the same region,
lying in N. lat. G74o on the river Yana. Its
lowest mean winter temperature is 1852 be-
low zero centgrade. This is the cold pole of
the earth in Asia, the corresponding pole in
America being to the northwest of the Parry
islands, and the line joining these two places
does not pass through the north pole, which
is thus, in all probability, outside the line of
greatest cold. It is well known that in the
tropics, on the other hand, the greatest heat
is not at the equator, but rather some dis
tance TO the north and south of it.

Miscellany.



Twas on a bitter winters day,
saw strange, pathetic sight:
The streets were gloomy, cOjHud gray,
The air with falling snow was white
A little ragged beggar child
Went running through the cold and storm;
He looked as II he never smiled,
As II he never had bsen warm.
Sudden he spied beneath his feet
A faded button-hole bouquet.
Trampled and wet with rain and slcot,
withered and worthless, there It lay
He bounded, seized II with delight,
Stood still and shook II free from snow;
Into his coat he pinned u tight
His eyes lit up with sudden glow.
He sauntered on, all pleased and proud,
His face transformed In every line,
And fingered that the hurrylng crowd
Might chance to see that he was hne.
The man who threw the flowers away
Never one-half such pleasure had;
The flowers best work was done that day
In cheering up that beggar lad.
All me too often we forget,
Happy In these good homes OF ours,
How many In this world are yet
Glad even Of the withered flowers.
