ages.
While on a hunting excursion in the great coal
and wood region of Carbondale, Pa, the writer
met William Coil, lumberman. Accustomed to
life and labor in the forests from early manhood,
he was a true knight of the Axe Many a tree
had fallen before his ringing strokes land fleets of
RATS had borne away to market the sawed pro-
ducts. Coil is a character, and if Oscar Wilde is
right in saying that ali moyem "a is in unhindered
labor sre graceful, our friend William stripped fer
his work. and attacking a tree as Richard L. as
saulted the heavy doors of Front de Beufs Castle,
must have presented an admirable picture.
One day, however-but let him tell the story
himself as he told il to me:

day ss well as by night. In 1lO6 A. D.,
there was one with very brilliant tail and
very dim head. At the time of the capture
of Constantinople by the Turks, in 1856,
there doomed up another, so big and so
frightful that Pope Calixtus II issued bull
against it.
In 1882, an immense comet was visible at
monday throughout Europe. The comet of
1877 was one of the largest ever seen. The
comet of 1862 was described as being ''ss
bright as the moon" and that of 1850 had q
tail 100000 miles long.
One of the most remarkable comets was
that to which the astronomer Haley, in
1862, gave his own name. He proved that
it was Identical with the comets of 1881 and
1907, and predicted its return in 1889, which
was fulfilled. In 1843, comet was visible
in New England in broad daylight. Other
large comets have been seen, but those men
toned above are regarded as among the
most remarkable.

An innovation which the June bride makes
this year is q very good one, and prevents an
swkwsrdness which has been seriously felt:
she does not wear gloves. This has been OBJ
served as a growing custom this winter, sew
eral brides having gone to the altar with
gloveless hands. There is thus avoided that
dreadful moment when the first bridemsid is
pulling off the sticky glove from hot and
trembling hand. II would seem en- especial
propriety 20 leave off the glove, if the glove
is ever to be dropped, during that short tran
cit from the house to the altar aud back
again; certainly the two betrothed hands
should meet glOveless, and the ring hand
should be ungloved always.
