In the carly days of what is now very
rich and widely circulated Michigan weekly
newspaper, the editor had occasion to hcstlw
some advice on a rich and influential citizen.
The advice was not kindly taken. On the
contrary word was sent to The office that in
case the ..oifense was rcpcatcc somebody
would be made to suffer for it. 1t was
promptly repeated, of course, and the
influential citizen soon appeared and
began

on it shall he war to the knife. My brother

'Bccausc he is too foolish to be taught

After remaining silent for few moments,
Mr. Mulkillle suddenly remembered that he
had not answered the childs questions in re-
gard to dob, and not wishing to leave the

example OF patience was afflicted with warts
he exclaimed, "No.'

SNOWFLAKE I;S.


The eastern side Of the Atlantic is warm
er at the same latitude lhln the wcsicrr
side.
The mean temperature Of the northern
hemisphere is higher than that Of the south
| ern.
In the polar regions snow sometimes falls
from cloudless sky.
AT three feet below the surface of the earth
Tue raugc OF temperature is less than half
what it is at the surface at twcnty-four fee,
less than one-tenth.
AT Jakutsk, in 62 degrees and . minutes
north latitude, it has been determined by
actual excavation that the Garth is frs2cn to
a depth of 3S2 feet, and this stratum of per-
manent frost increases as we advance north
ward.
Snowflakes formed at low temperature
are smaller than those formed at n high tenn
perature. AT very low temperature they
are often less than one-tenth of an inch in
diameter; when formed near the tempcra
ture Of 32 degrees they are sometimes found
an inch in diameter
Sometimes snowilakcs falling attach them
selves together in their descent to the earth
ana alight as loose SNOWFALL, perhaps two
inches in diameter. After they have fallen
they are sometimes driven along by the wind
and rolled into large balls, which have been
found with diameter Of three feet. They
arc cylindrical in shape and hollow in the
centre.
On the darkest nights the snow is more
luminous than the sky, showing that it re.
tains portion of the light which it has re-
ceived during the day, after the sun has set. |
Ii during the day portion was shaded, that |
portion is less luminous than the surrounding |
snow.
In the polar regions, where the snow lies |
1nmclted from year 10 year, it assumes a |
fuddy color, and sometimes becomes red Ike |
blood.

urs. Lnngtry's Last Appearance la
Chicago.


Before the rise OF the curtain it was quite
evident that the gallery people had come tt
"guy" all they saw, as they started it on
Gcurg" Bowron, the leader of the orchestra,
aud II adc audible comments upon its bald
head rs it loOmcd up among the !uoiights,
Then they propounded the old question rs
to why 1t was the man with the bas' viul in
the or,h stia always had II head devoid OF
hair, bul no satisfactory conclusion was ar.
rived at.
The first two acts of the play called for NJ
especial remark from the gallery gods, but
when Mrs Langtry appeared in ''doubrl and
hose" and asked what she would do with
them when "Orando" appeared, one of the
gods emitted an audible groan, and this was
the signal Tor the "guying' to begin. None
Were spared and every parsonage who ap-
peared upon the stage was commented upon,
generally unfavorably, The gods pclted
candy upon the stage, and large piece OF
latfy adhered to the head OF the bass drum.
The unfortunate gentleman who attempted
to sing the solo was howled at and the lower
part of tho house appeared to catch the in
fection and join in with the gods.
Charles, the wrestler, was dubbed "Mul-
doom" and every god constituted himself a
referee in the wrestling bout. The actors
were all at sea and cut their lines without
stint, while the star was very much embar-
rassed at the gallery gods constantly calling
out for some parsonage named Freddie" "
In the last act she ordered the curtain rung
down before she rccited the cplloguc, evi-
IDENTIFY fearing that her bluff about kissing
those who had boards that pleased her would
be called. Taken altogether, the Lily
received farewell IN Chicago that will moi
likely permit her to forget this city in many
day.

The Little Musicians,


Correspondence OF the Boston Post.l
In the obscure little town of Tumbrid-c,
which is situated on branch cf the White
river, in Vermont, lives farmer in humble
circumstances, who is also the village music
ian. The farmer fiddler has two little, blue
eyed, light-haircd girls, who's, names are I've
and josie, the former II anl the latter .
years of age These girls showed an early
desire TO get papa's old fiddle and play on i.
and when they reached the age Of six years
respectively, they were provided with viulins
of their own. Their father to encourage
them gave them daily lessons and bought
instruction books and fiddle strings, and
further hired them to learn to play new tunes
by giving them penny tune, or two cents
an hour When years old Ioe, the Oldest
commenced playing in public with her father
at picncS, Sabbath-schoOl celebrations etc.
and picked up considerable money, us many
people would give the child few pennies
10 encourage her. Josie, the Younger very
soon learned TO play many tunes, and to play
violin duets in public with her sister, as well
as violin solos and by constant practice aud
careful raining, she suon got to be quite II
match for her oder sister. At length the
fame of the young violinSts got abroad and
last summer Camilla Urso. passing through
the country, learned of item and wrote them
a very touching letter, concluding by urging
them to meet her AT her hotel in an neigh
boring town. The little girls gladly accepted
the invitation. They played for Camilla
Crso, and she played for them. Then the
famous artist hugged and kissed them and
said: Twenty years hence You will take
my place, perhaps, if you work hard, and
shall be an old woman, il indeed be
alive Since their visit TO Nine urso the
little violinsts have given number Of pub
lie concerts, and have improved wonderfully
in their playing They are nov known as
the "Reyuods sisters, and are preparing for
concert tour, hoping to raise money enough
to furnish them with thorough course at
the Boston Conservatory of Music.

A Poets Appeal for blind Mnn.

Victor Hugo, leaving the Cafe dc Paris,
where he had just breakfastcd, saw on the
bonlevards a wretchody poor blind man,
and in an impulse of pity improvised the
following lines, which he wrote on the
placard hung around the bcggar's neck.
Freely translated the lines are
"Blind rs was Homer; as Belisarlus, blind,
But weak child to guide his vision dim.
The hand which dealt him bread In pity kind
Hen see II not God sees 1t, though for Him."
The sous of the passers-by flowed freely
after reading this touching appeal to their
commiseration.

MORE than hundred years ago the

MORE than hundred years ago the
poet sang,
Welcome TO the newborn year.
Lot it comes by hope attended"
And the century has not changed tho
truth thus expressed, nor diminished
its strength. As each year closes we
stand ever ready TO greet the newcomer
with glad words and cherry smiles. and
to indulge i'll anticipations scarcely
dampened, but for the moment, by tho
stern fact that the past has often
brought to us sorrow and disappoint-
ment. As 1888 is passing from view
we linger over the memory of dear
faces, which gladdened us one little
year ago, now gone; of hopes, so lately
bright, now shattered forever; Of for
tunes changed; of SORROWS unknown
before; and while memory fingers
shadows thicken around the heart.
But with the first ioy-bells of the new
year hope awakes as fresh and bright
as If it had not lately almost died; and
the kindly greetings exchanged, tho
hand in friendship given, turn the lido
of sorrowful and useful recollections,
and give courage to go forward cheer
fully into the unknown realms of
another year. The good wishes which
it is the custom to express on New
Years day are often positively helpful,
and always tend to brighten life. Let
us not be sparing of them as we step
upon the threshold Of 1884.
