WAUBAY WAVELETS:


Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Pike, from Webster
were in the village on Saturday.
On Sunday last, the people of this place
listened TO a very interesting sermon
from the Rev. Mr.. Goddard, OF Webster,
lie will preach for MS again next Sunday
at 8 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Last Sunday morning, sixty three hun
tiers from Minneapolis, arrived here and
will spend a week looking up the goose
act. Many more from Abe rdeen and
Mitchell are expected here this week.
On Tuesday last, Martin Fritts sold the
Blue Lake House to l.. Sykes, of this
place. Mr.. s. has renovated the house
and everything is ready for business
On Sunday the writer and many others
were invited TO take dinner at the house,
At one O'Clock. sharp, we entered the sit
ting room, and were much surprised 70
see the change that had taken place in
30 short a time-a new carpet. and every
thing neat and nice. We soon found our
way TO the dining room, and There every.
thing was simply immense. The amount
Of turkey Ed. Steward and your humble
servent got away with Was a caution,
while the Hon. G. 4. Maynard, Dickey
and others, were not far behind as. On
the whole w must say it was as good a
dinner as we ever sat down TO. We can
heartily recommend the new house with
its hospitable host and hostess, 70 all
strangers who may happen within our
gates. j. L.

dence was received after the above was

Origin of "Pin-Mnnern

VINO thinks Of "pin-money as stig-
geslng stately observance of 6 splendid
courtY Yet such ii really NAV, as well rs
bring to mind the fact that in the reign ~
henry VIII. pins Of metal were a great
iuIary-so much considered that the SOW
ereign had q special Act passed for the
. true nia5ing of pynnes, and decreed that
their yalne should be fixed at shillings
8 pence thousand-a sum representing
twenty times, st least, that money to-day.
Up 70 the sixteenth century pins had been
made OF ell sorts Of wood, bone and silver,
the poorest classes usinG q sort of small
wooden skewer, but when the metal pin
was first introduced it became a sort of
luxury, as we have said, and with it is as
soclated a curious custom of the same and
later perlods-making gifts of money and
wearing apparel to ladies Of rank or station
The Queen was not ayerse to receiving a
gift Of gold pieces from any of hersubiects :.
bat m order to give the present an air of
comforting favor on the donor special
occasion was made for such gifts New
Years and Whitsuntide and other holidays
being appointed by fashion for these dona-
lions, and little further dust was thrown
in the eyes Of delicaCy by calling them
" pin moneys or glove-moneys." Ac-
cordingly, the lady whose income was said
to include pin-money was regarded as a
specially luxurious parsonage, it being
known that the little articles were sort of
outside expenditure, and from this arose
the use OF the term in marriage settlements,
1t being understood hat pin-money consti-
tuted peculiarly personal income; the
sum which the wife was to have settled
upon her for her own exclusive use, and
for which she was TO render no account to
her lord and master but at the present
day it is often intended 10 supply the la
dies wardrobe.

REMARKABLE PHENoMENoN.-At about
midnight on July Goth remarkable phe-
nomenon was seen at Jonkoping, Sweden,
over Lake Wettern. A strong luminosity
was suddenly shown in the north, where
some very peculiar clouds-looking like
icebergs-were seen almost to touch the
water. From these clouds electrical dis
charges continually proceeded, imparting
to them blush, phosphorescent light,
somewhat rudy near the water and in
tensely yellow at their sides. 1t seemed
like constant discharge of fireworks from
the lake. 1t was remarkable that the light
as is generally the case with an electrical
discharge in the atmosphere-did not as
sumo the form of punches of stream
ers, but at one time fiared up in
tensely, and at other times formed
narrow bands across the clouds.
Above the latter there was a faint
blush reflection. The lake lay as calm as
mirror, and though en- optical illusion
was uncommon in these parts, the western
shore seemed close TO the town, while the
eastern disappeared in the clouds Except
the electricity-laden clouds in the north.
the sky was clear, stars shone and the full
moon was bright. Below the latter the
sky seemed family red, compared with the
intense electric light. At Katrineholm the
same phenomenon was seen in the north
east. Here an intense glare was seen
above cloud, assuming the appearance of
two gigantic lustrous trees, which re-
manned thus for half an hour, when it
changed into variety of forms. There
was no noise accompanying the phenom-
enon, which lasted in both places for
about an hour. 1t is not probable that the
phenomenon could have been of auroral
nature on account of the brightness under
full moon.|l Nature.

A Story of Ingratitude.

A New York letter to the Sundau
OregOnGG1l says The building itself is
on the site of the old Washington
Hotel. This hotel, by the way, was
built on the ground once occupied by
the mansion of Nathaniel Prime, the Jay
Gould of fifty years ago. 1t may be
added, parenthetically, this same bank
er, Prime, once, when a poor young
man, went to Southern planter on q
visit at the time to New York, and asked
for a loan of $1,000.
"What security can you give ?" asked
the planter.
1.-The word of an honest man." an
swered Prime.
The planter eyed him for an instant,
and then replied "You shall have it. 3"
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his
great start in life, and he soon paid the
debt. Years rolled on and he became
the leading banker of the city. One day
the planter, who had befriended him at
the outset of his career, came to him in
poverty and asked him for the loan of
the same sum that he had lent Prime 80
OPPORTUNITY. The banker remembered
him well but asked:
"What security can you give ?"
'"The word of an honest man." an
swered the planter, echoing Primes own
words of years before.
'"That won't do in Wall street." was
the bankers reply.
The planter seemed dazed by such an
answer and left without word. The
man who was capable of such ingrati-
tude had become miser, monomaniac
on the subject of money, and in his old
age became insane in the midst Of
wealth over the thought that he might
by some possibility die poor, committed
suicide by cutting his throat in his man.
