4 Natural Curiosity.

DEVILS lake, in Calhoun county, Ala, is one
of the most remarkable curiosities to be
found in America. The lake is oval in shape
and covers about four acres of ground. No
vegetation OF any kind grows on its banks,
and nothing lives in its waters. Even snakes
and ty.l.pins shun the waters of Devils lake,
and fish placed in it die in few hours. The
water is clear limestone, with a peculiar
taste, which makes it unpalatable to man or
beast Horses and cows will not drink it, no
matter how thirsty they may be.
Deep down below the surface of the lake
may be seen what appear to be the charred
aud blackened trunks of large trees They
stand upright in the water, but have neither
root nor branch and never rise to the surface
or sink to the bottom. The lake has no outlet,
and the volume Of water in it is the same all
the time. A strange fatality attaches to this
lake Once it was the favorite resort of the
boys of the neighborhood for bathing and
swimming but now they never go near it.
Fifteen boys have been drowned in its wa
ters in twice as many years. A few Of the
bodies were recovered, but those who were
drowned any distance from the banks sank
TO the bottom and were never brought to the
surface.
The depth Of the lake has never been ascer-
tanned Soundings to a depth of 700 feet
found no bottom, and the people in the vicin-
ity say the lake has none. Philadelphia North

Some consume over a pound of Ceylon coffee
weekly, ard one pound contains over sixty

nervous, muscular and circulatory disturb

characterized by feeling of general weak
ness, depression of spirits, and aversion for
labor even in Industrious subjects, with head
ache and insomnia.
A strong dose of coffee causes the tempo
rary disappearance of all these symptoms
The muscular symptoms consist of distinct
muscular weakness and trembling of the
hands even during rest The circulatory
symptoms are marked by small, rapid,
irregular pulse and feeble impulse of the apex
Of the heart Palpitations and heaviness in
the precordal region are frequent The
hands and feet feel very cold, aud the com

A Kind Hearted Miller.

In Silas Wickham's sawmill on Bowman S
Creek, robin built her nest III queer spot
one summer. The mill had been idle for some
time, and late in May, while Mr. Wickham
was getting ready TO saw few logs, cock
robin darted about the mill and squalled
spitefully at him. Why the noisy bird was
so cross Mr. Wickham couldn't make out, but
he learned pretty soon after he had hoisted
the gate and set the mill a-going. On the
top of the upright saw frame mother robin
had built her nest, and she was sitting on it
when the machinery began to make the saw
fly up and down. The quick, downward
strokes came mighty near pulling the nest
away from her, but she chung fast and kept
her four eggs warm. Meantime the male
robin darted at Mr.. Wickham every few sec
onds and cried at him as though he had no
business around there, The female birds adj
mirable devotion to duty, and the male rob
ms incessant pleading in her behalf, touched
Mr. Wickham's sympathetic chord, he said,
and before the saw was half through the log
he shut the water off. He was in no hurry
for lumber aud he didn't try to run the saw
again until after the robins had raised their
little family. Scranton Cor. in Cincinnati

Wood both found that it was good for nothing as hunter and it lay around town for year or two as a general nuisance until shot byMr Holmes. He did not kill the dog outright, though he fired to kill and it was shot again by Mir Meachen and finally knocked in the head by Robert w. Curtis. The society for the prevention of cruelty to animals sued Mir Holmes because he did not kill the dog, but lost the case.
