MADE FOR THE WOODS.

In his "Random Recollections," Henry
B. Stanton tells the following laughable
story of jeremiah Mason, the great law
yer:
After he had become distinguished in
ty to try civil suit. A pompous little
Judge was on the bench. He assigned
Mason to defend negro on an indictment
for petty larceny. With surprise, tinged
with indignation, Mason declined the task.
"Sir, you must obey the order of the
Court" said the little Judge. Gall you
need to do is take your client into the ad-
Joining room, and give him the best ad-
vice YOU cam" This struck Mason in
funny light, and he arose, beckoned to the
negro, and stalked into an empty room
with his 'sclient" at his heels. "Are you
guilty ?" asked Mason. eyes, SIR" re-
sponded the negro. "Can they prove it?"
iYes, sir; all the witnesses are here"
Mason put his head out of the open win
dow, and said: 1T is about Is feet to the
ground. Do you see those woods?" The
negro leaped, and Mason returned into the
court. BY and by the case was called, but
the negro did not respond. "Where is
your client?" asked the little Judge. III
do not know" replied Mason. "Your
llOuOI ulIeClcu luO W slSC uihl thS oSSo
advice I could, and the last saw of him
he was running for those woods over
there" Everybody laughed except the
little Judge, and the curtain fell on the
scene.
TRUE REvERENcE.-Therei is no virtue,
no grace, in postures and attitudes. This
truth we do not question. But if we refuse
to express reverence, we shall soon cease
to feel reverence. This also is truth. 1t
is not enough to be interested, in gener-
al sense, in the service of the sanctuary.
"God is greatly to be feared [reverenced]
in the assembly of saints and in the con-
gregation." Truereverence, real worship,
will express itself somehow 80 long as we
are compounded of body and spirit.
Starve expression and how long will the
feeling endure? We are persuaded that
it has declined in manyif not most of our
congregations. 1t is greatly to be wished
that it might be revived. But in order
that it may become fixed habit Of our
souls, we need to adopt suitable methods
of expression. We should feel more like
praying if we adopted some proper atti-
tude of prayer. By kneeling, bowling the
head, covering the eyes-by some bodily
action or attitude, expressive of reverent
adoration-we shall be far more likely to
cultivate the true spirit of devotion.-Dr.
Bushnell.

= .asYEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER.

The following is brief abstract OF the
weather during the year, known as the
year without a summer:
January was mild, 80 much 80 as to rem
der fires almost needless in parlors. De-
cember previous was very cold, February
was not very cold, with the exception
of q few days it was like its predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous during the
first part of it.; the remainder was mild.
A freshet on the Ohio and Kentucky
rivers caused great loss Of property. May
was more remarkable for froWns than
smiles. Buds and flowers were frozen,
killed and the fields were again and again
planted until deemed too late. June was
the coldest ever known in this latitude.
Frost ice and snow were common. AL
most every green thing was killed. Fruit
was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the
depth of ten inches in Vermont, several in
Maine and three in Central New York,
and also in Massachusetts. Considerable
damage was done at New Orleans in con-
sequence of the rapid rise in the river, the
suburbs, were covered with water, and
the roads were only passable in boats.
July was accompanied by frost and ice !;
on the fifth, ice was formed of the thick
ness of window glass throughout New
England, New York, parts of Pa, Indian
corn was nearly all destroyed. August
was more cherries if possible than the
summer months already passed. Ice was
formed half an inch thick. Indian corn
was so frozen that greater part was cut
down and dried for fodder. Almost every
green thing was destroyed both in this
country and Europe. Papers received
from England stated that it would be
remembered by the present generation,
that the year 1916 was year in which
there was no summer. Very little corn
ripened in the New England and the
Middle States. Farmers supplied them
selves from the corn produced in 1915 for
the seed of the spring of 1917. 1t sold for
from four to five dollars per bushel. Sep
tember furnished about two weeks of the
mildest weather of the season. Soon after
the middle it became very cold and frosty
and ice formed quarter of an inch thick:
October produced more than its share OF
cold weather. November was cold and
clustering. Enough snow fell to make
good sleighing. December was quite
mild and comfortable. The above IS
brief summary of the cold summer OF 1916
as it was called in order to distinguish 1t
The winter was mild. Frost and ice
were common in every month of the year.
Very little vegetation matured in the East
ern and Middle States. The SUMS rays
seemed to be destitute of heat through the
summer; all nature seemed to be clad in
a sable hue, and man exhibited no little
anxiety concerning the future of his life.
The average wholesale price of flour du-
ring that year, in the Philadelphia market,
was thirteen dollars per barrel. The aver
age price of wheat in England was nine
ty-seven shillings per quarter.-Farmer's

HAYTI,S GREAT FIRE.

Consal.General Bassett,s Safe Arrival at Port au Prince-A Big Scene of Devastation and SuRering.
 Hon. E. D. Bassett of this city, consul-oen-
 eral from Hayti to the United States, who
 was suddenly called to Hayti short time ago
 on business, has arrived there safely, as he
 states in a letter to friend in this city. He says that he had been ill and was threatened
 with the fever characteristic of the island.
 He was under the best medical care and had recovered. He arrived in Port au Prince the day after the great fire there which destroyed five or six hundred dwelling houses and stores, The houses were mostly of wood. two and two and 8 half stories high. and
 many ot them were of fine architectural de- sign and expensive. Thousands of people were rendered homeless The fire was dis covered in the Senate building while the Sen ate was in session. The efforts of the firemen to check the flames were futile and the fire burned until it exhausted itself. The wind. shifting from Q land to a sea breeze. drove the flames back on the burned district, thus saving the greater portion of the city. Three days later another fire broke out, which burned until it licked the sea and died out. The best part of the city is in ashes. The next night two men were shot for attempting to start another fire. Armed soldiers have patrolled the streets every night since the first hre with orders so shoot on the spot persons acting suspiciously. The schooner Lizzie Lane lying at anchor in the stream was crowded with people who were burnt out and who went on board for safety. During the hrst fire French gunboat sent @ company of sailors well armed to protect French subjects. An uprising occurred after the fire, but it was suppressed and quietness rentored

A n1sr1Nsu1sHED ENGINEER.

Death of Col. Walter Mcfarland Of
 the United States Engineering Corps
 at His Residence i'm This City Last
 EvenHng-A Useful and Valuable Ca-
 roer Ended.
 Col. Walter Mcfarland, of the United States Engineering Corps, died at his resi- deuoe on Mansfield street, this city, last eve ming at 9:30 o'clock. His health had been impaired for two or three years past. The nature of the disease was obscure and not defined, but near the end evidences of kidney difficulty were manifest. He had recently had six months leave of absence which he spent in the South, engaged in light official duties, but returned with his health slightly improved and the disease a few days ago as- stunned an acute form. Col. Mcfarland was one of the most distinguished officers in the United States Engineer Corps. His last off, cial work in connection with the improve ments of New York harbor was beyond all question of the utmost importance, his work having been entirely successful in deepening the entrance to New York harbor. To this duty he was assigned about three years ago. Previous to that he was for about three years in charge of the improvements of New Haven harbor and other work connected herewith. His office while he was located here was in the Insurance build ing. Col. Mcfarland was a native of New York city. He was graduate of the New
 York Free academy, now the college of the city of New York, and several years later graduated at West Point. He was stationed during the war at Key West While on duty there the yellow fever broke out and he bravely and at the risk of his own life nursed brother officers while they were ill with that terrible scourge. While in this self sacrificing work he fell i'll with the disease, and after severe and most prostrating attack recovered. He aftervard under orders from the United States govern ment, made 8 survey of the Nicarapua route for ship canal, and the report which he made showing the feasibility of the route for that purpose was most accurate and complete as late surveys have amply demonstrated. Colonel Netherlands field of duty was after ward supervising the improvements of rivers and harbors in the Northwest From thence he was assigned to New Haven. Col. Mc- Farland was noble spirit and the seeds of disease which terminated his life in manhood's early prime, were sown at Key West. when he struggled with the yellow fever and on the isthmus when he was exposed to the in- siduous and deadly climate and miasmatic in fuences peculiar to that region. He was a man of distinguished ability, of fine and lovable traits of character of 8 companion able and refined nature, and one who won the high regard of all his associates. He leaves wife, formerly of New York city. and two sons, one physician in New York. the other studying in Sheffield Scientific school here, and two daughters. He was about forty-fve years of age.
