A Boy Who Never SWeats.

There is boy in Putnam County,
Tennessee, son of Jefferson Lee, 10
years of age, who, owing to the pecul-
lar nature of his skin, has never been
known to sweat drop of perspiration
in his life. Another phenomenal feat
ure connected with the boy is that he
has only four teeth, and he had those
when born, having never cut nor shed
any since his birth. He is very much
affected by the seasons. In the summer
he gets exceedingly warm and is COM
PEELED, in order to live at all, to keep
his head and body wet with cold water,
and falls off to almost skeleton, but
when winter comes and cold weather
sets in he is enabled to dispense with
his bath and grows fat. He is said to
be sprightly boy, with plenty of
sense.

Rainbow Rocks Of the Yellowstone.

From natural platform at the very
edge of the lower falls, the sight-seer
can look 400 feet upward to the top of
the heavily wooded banks, and down to
the foot of the falls, 800 feet. 1t is not
over forty feet from this natural plat
form to the other side of the river, and
the volume of water compressed into
this narrow space is enormous; but as
soon as it passes it is transformed into
snowy, feecy foam, and from below
rises thick mist as the water is hurled
upon the rocks that break its fall.
Grand as are the falls themselves, the
Grand Canyon really gives to the scene
it's unrivaled charm. One may see tur-
rets, towers, pillars and cones, and
hundreds of other fantastic shapes,
according as the reins of fancy are
loosed. The colors of the rocks include
every tint of the rainbow Below this
is stratum of brown rock, gradually
shading into red. Then come orange,
or yellow, violet and white limestone.
Yonder is a bright, red tower, and
beside it is pillar of black fiintstone.
Below is white cone, above a purple
arc. -COrrespOndence Boston Times.

An Astonishing Story.

A dog belonging to the B-s, which
was q great favorite of theirs, and re-
garded as of thoroughly irreproachable
training, was charged by some of their
neighbors with worrying sheep at night.
The family rebutted this charge, on the
ground that the dog was fastened up in
their kitchen at night, and was never
let out until the servants came down in
the morning.
The farmers, however, persisted that
they knew the dog we'll. and had seen
him going from the sheepfold, though
he had managed to escape them. When
this was urged so strongly as to make
il imperative ON the BIS to take some
further steps, one of the daughters
volunteered to sleep in the kitchen and
watch the dogs behavior.
When they made up the young lady's
bed the dog seemed very restless and
strange, but 10y and by he settled down
and all was silent.
A little after midnight he got up,
came to the bed, and shifted about un-
til he was satisfied himself the lady was
not awake. Then he leaped into the
window seat, lifted the catch of the
shutters. and opened them. Then he
undid the latch of the window, which
he opened, and disappeared.
After n long interval he came back,
closed and fastened the window and
shutters, and finished by licking his
own feet and the marks which he had
left by springing on the hc or. To the

A Blunt Partisan.

The patriots of New England who
labored to secure self-government for
the colonies had to encounter their
neighbors who were devoted to the
King and Parliament.
Among these loyalists were found.
here and there, a clergyman who
thought it his duty to preach the sub

rulers.

Capt John Blunt, shipmaster and

sixth boy, it was determined after n
family consultation, to name him
William, and he was carried to the
church to be christened.
1t happened on that Sunday morning
that the Rev. Mr.. Chase, bent on Grad
icating the growing disloyalty of his
people, preached a sermon in denunci-
alton of Oliver Cromwell, blasphem-
GUS revolutionist.

triot, determined to resent the minis

shouted to his men in gale. And the
