Three mysterious wells.

About eight miles from Kingston,
Ont, and 400 yards from the river
st. Lawrence, rises a lofty granite
ridge, on which are three wells carved
out Of the solid rock, which have de-
fed the queries Of the oldest inhab-
itantsas to their intended use. These
cylinders, only four feet deep, and a
foot or more in diameter, were hewn
out of rocks which the keenest tenn
percd tools Of modern times would
scarcely chip, and from top to bot
tom they are as smooth as the finest
polished Scotch granite. They al
ways contain a copious supply Of
pure water, which must be supplied
by rains, as no surface water can
penetrate them. The popular idea Is
that therein former savages pounded
their corn, but the dim te! Of the
holes and their dispUportiOnIte
depth renders that improbable.

pupil so suddenlyas to cause extreme
pain. BY persevering in this very

cruel practice, the nerves Of the eyes
become impaired, and if continued
long enough, loss of sight will ensuc.

a bright light after having been in

night for short time, till the eye
becomes accustomed to the darkness,
then drop in, suddenly, some we'll

There was never a golden sunbeam
Thatfell on a desolate place
But left some trace OF its presence
That time could never efface.
Not a song OF ineffable sweetness
That ravished the listening ear,
Then slumbered in silence forgotten
Formany and many year,
But a word or a tone might awaken
Its magiegspoweF anew,
Long after the sweet-voiced singer
Had faded from earthly view.
Nor a heart that was ever so weary,
Or tainted with sin and despair,
But a word OF tender compassion
Might ind an abiding place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy, kindness and love,
And souls are cropping in darkness
Without one CLEAN from above.
There was never a sunbeam wasted,
Nor a song that was sung in vain,
And souls that seem lost In the shadows
A saviour's love may reclaim.
Then scatter the sunbcams OF kindness,
Though your deeds may never be know
The harvest will ripen In glory,
II the seed be faithfully sown;
And life will close with blessing,
And fade into endless day,
Like the golden hues Of the sunbeam
That fade in the twilight gray.

POPTLATTON.

The population of the cities in the
United States increases very much faster
than does the rural population Of the
country. In 1890 the cities contained
3.3 per cent. of the total population,
while to-day the urban inhabitants of the
country include nearly 25 per cent. of
the whole population. This gain was
made gradually, but the decade between
the years 1910 and 1850 witnessed the
most pronounced increase, the percent
age then climbing from 8.5 to 1915. The
average number of persons to house
throughout the country was 5.6, while
the average number of members in a
family was 5.04. There seems to be a
tendency toward decrease in the family
membership, and this decrease seems to
follow slowly in the wake of civilization.
It is thus noticed that the average is
higher in the newly-oponed States of the
West, and gradually decreases until the
Atlantic coast is reached

Hung on telegraph post it would

The spirit of character turks in the
hat, which is the one adjunct that gives
the leading touch to the toilet of man OF

will say so. II she is foolish or SEN
sensible, refined or commonplace, the
hat will tell it, If man is gentle
man his hat will prove it. A fop, q
fool, a swell and a fraud may be known
by their hats. Men may contrive to
make every other article of apparel lie
and dissemble, but truth clings to q
hat. The face may be compelled to
conceal everything, but upon the hat
no spell of secrecy can be laid. Look
at it and read its owners mind. .-NeaU

ORNAMENTS ZOE DOGS.

"It costs a good deal of money TO
keep fashionable dog nowadays" said
a clerk in an uptown store where all
sortseof fancy articles are sold. "Ex-
tensively-fashionable women are follow
ing the French very closely in the elab-
orations of outfits for their pets. Until
a couple of years ago all that any
woman ever thought of putting on her
dog was collar of more or less ele-
gance. We had colors of every sort in
stock, from plain leather or metal bands
to richly-ornamented and expensive
work. Clasp collars with family mono
grams OF crests in gold were made to
order. About the time that bangles
were being made from coins we
made q number of dog collars
of gold and silver pieces. Russia
leather and alligator leather reigned for
awhile. These collars usually had gold
bound edges.
"But the dog shows of late years have
created craze among women for all
sorts of ornaments for their dogs. You
see, one woman would have cocker
spaniel or an italian greyhound on ex-
hibition in velvet cage, and this would
at once set all the other women who
visited the show crazy over velvet cages.
Another would have a jeweled collar
on her dog, and all the women wanted
jeweled collars at once. The fashion ot
blanketing pups spread like wildfre al
the dog show. All the best designs
were copied. Now there are richly en-
broidered lap rugs and fur wraps fol
dogs when they are taken out for 6
drive. These robes usually have 6
monogram OF crest worked in the cen
ter The latest thing, however, is the
dog bracelet"
The clerk exhibited a number of lit
tie bracelets of gold and silver. They
are made to fit the left leg Of dogs, anG
most Of them are much smaller thar
finger rings. Three of these rings were
ornamented with diamonds. They are
fastened on with miniature padlocks.-

A feature of the morning session was
a reorganization of an chronological
club, that was formerly connected with the
association. 1t is the purpose of the club
to meet at the annual sessions of the asso-
citation and discuss questions pertaining to
those interests which do not come within
the scope of microscopy and biology.
Prof. D. j. Kellicott, of Buffalo, was
elected president, and Prof. o.
S. Wescott, of Chicago, secretary.
At 2 p. N. the first meeting
of the club, President keIIicott presiding.
Prof. S. A. Forbes offered an interesting
paper on the possibility of making use of
the virus of contagious diseases affecting
insects for the destruction of pestilent
species. The professor, whose conclusions
are based upon series of careful expert
ments, has adopted the results of Pasteur's
discoveries in relation to silk worm
diseases as the foundation for his re-
searches. II. Pasteur some time since dem
onstrated the constant presence of a para
site in the intestines of silk worms affect
ed by disease which has for some time
threatened the silk industry in Europe.
At the conclusion CT Prof Forbes paper
some remarks were offered by Prof. Os-
born in regard to the habits of the pombus
pennSyIUaaicus in appropriating nests Of
other animals, notably those of the tit
mouse and house martin, followed by q
discussion by DR.. Hoy, of Racine, on the
| development of some species of Lepidop-
terae. The meeting then adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the president.

Before the late war Gen. Buckner
was worth nearly million dollars,
which he and his wife inherited, and
consisted mostly in real estate in Chi
cago. When the war broke out, Gen.
Buckner, joining the Confederate army,
executed deed of all his property to
his wife's brother, Maj. Kingsbury, who
afterward joined the Federal army and
was killed at the memorable battle of
,Antietam. Before his death, while
lying on the battlefield, he made a
statement to few of his comrades who
surrounded him about the large amount
of property he was the possessor of, and
how he came in possession, which was
simply by deed of trust. The Federal
Government confscated the property
after the death of Maj. Kingsbury, and
after the war ended Gen. Buckner
sought to regain it. The case was bit
