The Blld.Headcd Man In Church.

Old Mr.. Collamore is very deaf
The other Sunday, in the midst Of
the sermon, Mr.. Hoff, who sits i'm
mediately behind Mr.. Collamore, saw
a spider crawling over the latter's
bald head. His first impulse was to
nudge him and tell him about it, but
he remembered that Mr.. Collamore
was deaf so he lifted up his hand and
brushed the spider off. Mr.. Hoff
didn't aim quite high enough, and, in
his nervousness, he hit old Collamore
quite severe blow The old gentle
man turned around in a rage to see
who had dared to take such q liberty
with him and Hoff began to explain
with gestures But Collamore, in q
loud voice, demanded what it meant.
1t was very painful to Hoff. The
eyes of the congregation were upon
him, and he grew red in the face.
"There was spider on your head.
"a white place on my head, hey !
S'pose there is; what's that TO you 7

But let it alone you mind !? Yoa

"Mr ColIamore,p shrieked Hoil,
there was spider on your head, and
/ brushed him off-this way, and
Hoff made another gesture at CoIIa-
more's head.
The old man thought he was going
to fight him then and there and htasf

when the sexton interfered. An exs
PLANTATION was written on the fy leaf

lamore apologized in a boistefous
voice, and resumed his seat. They
think of asking Mr.. Collamore 10

A New Volcano.

On the Goth of July the lighthouse
keeper at Cape Reykjanes, the south
west point of Iceland, on scanning the
sea with his glass, saw what he at first
took for a very large ship, but with q
closer inspection showed to be new
island. 1t had the form of rounded
fiattened cone, was of considerable size,
and lay, according to his estimate,
about fourteen miles northwest of the
volcanic island Eldey or the Mealsack
(Melskken), which lies eight miles of
Reykjanes to the southwest. Several
earthquake shocks had been felt during
the preceding days, and they have since
occurred at intervals, but no other vol
canic manifestations heralded or at
tended the rise of the island Owing
to the danger of approaching the island
in an open boat, no one has yet at
tempted to land on it. The light-keeper
has observed it from day to day when
not prevented by fcggy weather, and
reports no change in its appearance,
save that large part of one side of the
cone appears to have slipped or fallen
down into the sea.
From time to time since the coloniza-
ton of Iceland volcanic islands have
sprung up out of the waves in the neigh
borhoOd of Reykjanes only to disappear
again after brief period. In the end
of last century an island arose at or
near the same place as the present one
occupies, and was taken possession of
by the Danes, under the name of Nye
New Island); but as it consisted only
of loose volcanic ash and pumice, the
action of the waves speedily broke it
down; and after little more than
month it disappeared. st. James Ga

well the space between those indicates
one sixteen-thousandth of an inch.
Getting it down pretty fine, isn't it?
You see this movable piece of iron here,
which comes down with smoo:h
surface upon this other solid surface?
Well, the raising or lowering of that
moves the pointer which runs around
the dial. To test the thickness of a
sheet of paper we simply place it be-
tween the movable piece and the solid
surface below, and when the movable
piece of iron comes down upon the
paper the hand registers the true thick
ness of the paper. Delicate instrument?

MATILDA'S REWARD.

Matilda lived upon farm
In Allegheny County,
And happiness upon her life
Did shed its golden bounty.
She used to help her mother in
The duties of housekeeping
She used to churn and make the bread
And cake, and do the sweeping.
And while she did these things, she smiled
And sang a pleasant ditty,
And listened not to other girls
Who giorifed the city.
They'd speak about the farmers life
As one of beans and pOttage,
And place the handsome brow n-stone front
Above the humble cottage.
And to her they would daily say,
In manner strangely vocal:
1.-THE girl who stays upon the farm
Will have to wed 'yokel!"
Those girls all to the city went
Upon the self-same mission
To marry men with land and gold
And hold high position.
But after years had fioated by,
These girls became less sunny,
And in their wrinkles learned rich men
Like poor men, wed for money.
Then. broken-hearted. they returned,
And in the country tarried;
And cen the "yokels" wooed them not
The ''yokels" all were married.
The girls were sorry that they e'er
Did from the country sever.
Because they knew their city life
Had shelved them all forever.
Matilda stayed upon the farm,
Her parents cosy treasure,
And in the work she did for them
She nothing knew but pleasure.
One day she in the village heard
That goOd,old Farmer Plummer
Was making money taking in
Town boarders for the summer.
{. Full soon they had upon the farm
A score OF city people,
Which made Matilda's father feel
AS tall as any steeple.
To cut the story short, man,
Who'd been an early conner,
Did like the place 80 well that he
Stayed longer than the summer.
And even when the golden rod
Blew round the meadow edges,
He with the farmers daughteQnwalked
Down lanes by shady hedges.
And when the last leaf on the tree
In bleak November tarried,
The bells pealed from the village church
One day, and they were married.
And now her calm and happy life.
With simple duties laden, 80.
Is all the envy of each sour
And discontinued maiden.
