CURIOUS WELLS,
Deep, Round Pools in the Trap-Rocks of
the st. Croix Dalles, Wis.

Deep, Round Pools in the Trap-Rocks OF
the st. Croix DalIes, Wis.
Visitors to the famous dalles of the
st. Croix river have their interest par
ticularly excited by some natural wells
that have been formed there in trap
rock, which is so hard that carving up
on it is impossible. Travellers anxious
to become famous have sketched,
drawn or painted various names, de-
signs and caricatures upon the face of
the rock. The rocks are igneous and
are heaped in masses, besides being
widely scattered. There are various
projections and picturesque formations
known as the Devils Chair" and
other similar names quite familiar to
tourists.
These wells are of different depths,
sizes and even shapes. Some are from
fifteen to twenty-five feet in diameter,
while others are not more than foot
and half. Many have been filled up
with rocks. Several still are full to
the brim with water, and few contain
neither water nor rocks. They vary in
depth from five to thirty-fve feet.
Their walls are as smooth as rock can
well be. Their general shape is round,
though some of them are more or less
irregular.
Much speculation has been INDUCED
in as to the origin and nature of the
wells. The idea has even been adj
vanced and accepted by some that they
are the craters of extinct volcanoes.
They are, without doubt, however,
what are known as ''pot-holes. The
river has cut its way into its present
channel by erosion, sinking its bed
slowly down into the solid rock. The
pot-holes are some of them at height
of from fifty to one hundred feet above
the present river surface. But in
former times they were, of course,
under water. AS the current rushed
by, carrying with it loose rocks and
gravel, these occasionally lodged in
accidental or natural depressions or
crevices, or were kept from moving
forward by eddies, and had a rotary
motion impaired to them by the cur
rent. These rocks, thus kept con-
tinually revolving by the current,
gradually wore large, round, smoth-
sided holes in the bed of the river, and
when the river itself sank to lower
level it left these wells high and dry
in the solid rock, for the wonder of
modern excursionists.- MiloUaukee Sen

SUCCESS IN LIFE.
The Three Elements Necessary to the
Achievement of Distinction.

| The Three Elements Necessary to the
| Achievement of Distinction.
In q recent address before the Georgia
| State Medical Association, DIR. Searcy
stated that the physiological conditions
of success in life depend mainly upon a
vigorous, healthy action of the brain
and nervous system. 1t follows, there
fore, that the structural integrity and
functional capacity of the brain are
matters of the deepest importance, and
| their preservation and Improvement are
of vital moment. The author believes
that much would be accomplished,
could we discover the ways in which
the brain capacity is increased and
lowered. The problem is a most
delicate one, for up to certain point
the receptivity of the brain is directly
| proportional to the strain already
| brought to bear upon its capacities.
An even balance between the brain
| functions is an essential element. The
| superior man must have the ability, not
only to comprehend, but, in an equal
degree, to discriminate; he must be able
to select for purpose. Besides the
ability to learn, a man, to be success
full, needs the power to verify his learn
ing, to deduce his own conclusions, and
to execute his purposes with persist
ence.
A simply erudite man is not neces-
ssrr+fy -sucrvssfuf: On the contrary, he
is often the reverse, a perfect failure,
for lack of the saving virtue of COM
mon sense. The capacity to receive is
of small value unless it be coupled
with an ability to adjust, arrange and
impart. 1t frequently happens that a
man who is simply scholar and moth
ing else is at an absolute disadvantage
in the presence of an unlettered man
who is blessed with an inherent excel
lence of capacity in the three depart
ments of brain action. One need not
be educated to possess this trait
though it is the addition of education
to such natural gifts that brings dis
tinctiOn. 1t is not an exaggeration to
say that many man of eminence has
had occasion to envy his humber asso-
ciates the possession of those so-called
commoner merits which would have
given his own attachments a greater
availability. Nature apparently re-
quires a certain amount of the concrete
to maintain a mental equipoise. The
man who can learn, reason and exc
cute with equal facility possesses the
elements of success, even though his
qualities be of but an inferior order;
while one who has any of these facul-
ties abnormally developed at the ex-
pense of the others will always be Grip
pied by the absence of the essential
features of successful life. Scientific

OLD-FASHIONED WOOlNG.
How Courtship Was Carried On in the
Fifteenth Century.


There is a beautiful old-fashioned
wooing recorded in the journal of
Elizabeth Woodville, previous to her
marriage with Lord Grey. This lady
afterwar became the Queen of Edward
", and died in 1886. She describes a
certain blissful Monday on which she
first became acquainted with Lord
Grey. The lady rose at four in the
morning and helped Catherine, the
dairy-maid, to milk the cows. Then
she made poultice for Rachael, an
other dairy-maid, and gave Robin a
penny to get pill from the apothecary.
At six o'clock she breakfasted on a
bullock of beef and beer, "a little of
the stalest." At seven o'clock she
rode matter of six miles on little
pony without saddle or bride. At ten
o'clock she dined, and thus runs the
entry in her diary: event to dinner
John Grey, most comely youthful
what is that to me? A virtuous maiden
should always be under the direction of
her parents. John Grey ate but little
and stole great many tender looks at
me. John Grey likes white teeth; my
teeth are of pretty good color, L
think, and my hair is as black as jet,
though l say it, and John, if mistake
not, is of the same opinion" At eleven
o'clock she walked in the fields with
the company. John Grey lifted her
over every stile, and "twice squeezed
my hand with great vehemence." At
three in the afternoon farmers house
was burned down. John Grey pro-
posed a subscription on the spot, and
gave four pounds himself. ''Never
saw him look so comely as at that
moment" says the lady in her diary.
Four o'clock saw her at prayers, and
Immediately afterward she fed the hogs
and poultry. At seven o'clock she
supped on baked goose-pie and pork,
''roasted to rags" At nine o'clock
she was in bed, and, having a good
digestion, she dreamed about her lover
instead of demons, which, according
to Fuseli, generally visit the slumbers
of the individual who INDUCES in a
supper of pork. But how quaint,
peaceful and pastoral is the last entry,
dealing with this eventful day in the
journal "Nine o'clock. The com
pany fast asleep. These late hours
very disagreeable. Said my prayers a
second time, John Grey having dis
tracted my thoughts too much the first
time. Fell asleep and dreamed of
John Grey" But little did she dream
in those quiet days of the troublous
life which was before her; how she
would become Queen of England, and
die at last in confinement at South
wark. -LouiSville Courier-Journal.

GOOD GIRLS.
Ell Perkins Idea of the Wc=san Whom
Everybody Likes.

Everybody Likes.
Girls, you needn't be beautiful to be-
come general favorites. The plainest
girl 1 ever saw was the favorite in my
native town. Everybody liked her.
Beautiful? o no, she is not beauti-
ful-that is outside, but inside she is
an angel. Nobody thinks of calling
her beautiful. Not one of dozen can
tell whether her eyes are black or blue.
If you should ask them to describe her,
they would only say: ''She is just
right" and there it would end. She is
a merry-hearted, fun-loving, bewitch-
ing maiden, without spark of envy or
malice in her whole composition. She
enjoys herself and wants everybody
else to do the same. She has always
a kind word and pleasant smile for
the oldest man or woman; in fact, |
can think of nothing she resembles
more than sunbeam, which brightens
every thing it comes in contact with.
All pay her marked attention, from
rich Mr.. Watts, who lives in a mansion
on the hill, to negro Sam, the sweep.
All look after her with an admiring
eye and say to themselves: "She is just
the right sort of a girl!' The young
men of the town vie with one another
as to who shall show her the most at
tention; but she never encourages them
beyond being simply kind and jolly"
so no one can call her firt; no, in
deed, the young men all deny such an
assertion as quickly as She"
''Do girls love her, toop" l asked.
eyes, wonderful to relate, girls like
her, too; for she never delights in hurt
ing their feelings, or saying spiteful
things behind their backs. She is
always willing to join in their little
plans and to assist them in any way.
They go to her with their love affairs,
and she manages adroitly to see Willie
or Peter. and drop good word for
Ida or Jennie, until their little difficult
ties are all patched up, and every thing
goes on smoothly again-thanks to her.
Old ladies say she is delightful. The
sly witch-she knows how to manage
them. She listens patiently to COM
plants of rheumatism or neuralgia,
and then sympathizes with them so
heartily that they are more than half
cured. But she can not always be with
us.
'Then she finally gets married."
Eyes. A young man comes from a
neighboring town, after a time, and
marries her. The villagers crowd
around to tell him what prize he has
won, but he seems to know it pretty
well without any telling, to judge from
his face. So she leaves us, and it is
not long before we hear from that
place. She is there the woman every
body likes. "-EH Perkins, IN Baptist
WeekLY.

Prof. H. L. Fairchild, in a scientific
lecture in New York, stated that while
we always think of the dry land as the
true place of stability, as matter of
fact it is the ocean which forever main
tains its place and the land which is
continually oscillating. He informed
his auditors that Manhattan Island is
gradually sinking, and that if they
lived long enough they could find the
sea covering the place. With great
consideration he relieved their minds
by saying that there was time enough
to finish the lecture before the island
sank.
