of an awful whirlpool, called the

c. Tiffany takes pains to tell us in 3
recent account of a trip to Tromso.
This: lit is the one humbug of Nor
way. 1t is simply a dangerous cur
rent at the south end of the Loffoden
Islands, between the islets of Mos
kenaes and Varoe. When the wind
blows from certain quarters, particu-
larly from the northwest, and meets
the returning tide in the strait, the
whole sea between Moskenaes and
V@roe is thrown into such agitation
that no ship could live in it. In calm
weather, however, it is crossed in safe
ty three-quarters of an hour before
f1ood-tide. What gives it the name
and appearance of a whirlpool is that
the set of the tide is changed at its diff
ferent stages by the narrow limits
within which it acts. Its movement is
at first toward. southeast; then, after
food-tide, it turns from south toward
the southwest, and finally toward the
northwest; so that it takes twelve hours

acter as whirlpool. '-E. IngersoN. in

A lady on a Rock Island train the
other day had small dog with her,
which seemed to be out of sorts about
something, and disturbed the passen-

length man who sat in the next seat
forward faced about and said:

"Oh, no." said his mistress; ''but
think he wants drink of water"
"Then will get him some, said the
gent, good-naturedly, as he took cup
from bis satchel and started to 90 to

''Hold 0nr' exclaimed the lady, with
alarm, as she handed him cup of her

An Anecdote Of Ripon Palace.

When DR.. Longley was appointed
Bishop of Ripon, he used to tell, with
much glee, an anecdote of the new
palace prepared for him at Ripon.
There are in the front two ornamental
statues of angels on each side of the
entrance. Walking with friend round
the house, the visitor observed: Il say
Bishop. do angels wear the Order Of
the Garter?" Nonsense; what do
you mean?' ''Why, these angels Of
yours have distinctly got garters on the
leg of one and the wrist Of the other!r'
On examination it was discovered
that they had been originally statues Of
the Queen and Prince Albert, but it
had been thought more suitable for an
episcopal residence to convert them
into angels. and to adorn them, in that
capacity. with wings. The CARRIERS they
had worn before their apotheoeis had
been imperfectlx fled away. = 8as

The question of insanity and its
greater or less prevalence to-day as
compared with former times appears
to be far from settlement. The fact
that cases which were considered hope
less fifty years ago are now often cured
means that persons who would have
died under the treatment then without
the knowledge ever becoming general
that their complaints were of the brain
rather than the body are now added to
the table of statistics as lunatics. The
great increase in the number and per-
lection of asylums also swells the num-
Der of the recorded insane and aids in
complicating any attempt to judge
whether the brain troubles are really,
as it is often asserted, on the increase
among civilized nations.-Philadelphia

The little boy did not hear this bad

bird, too, had four fuzzy little babies
in her nest in the lilac bush, and every
