Tobogganin Into the Water.

A toboggan slide ending in the water
furnishes about as exciting sport as the
average man wants, and it is as interest,"
ing to watch as football match. One
of the summer resorts on still water,
near New York has such slide
says the New York Times. The slide is
filed with small wooden wheels and over
these an ordinary toboggan glides. The
slide is very steep and when the tide is
low there is aspace of three or four feet
between it and the water Those
using the slide put on bathing
suits, Threeor four persons will get on
toboggan, the last one usually stand
ing up with his hands on the shoulders
of I he man in front of him. The descent
is very swift, dangerously so, it would
appear TO the observer, though no acci-
dents have occurred. When the tobog-
gan strikes the water it shoots over the
surface $50 or 200 feet before it stops.
Then it sinks withits load and there is
great plunging and liickingin the water.
Those who are used to the slide are alb
solutely fool hardy in their sport, contin-
uing it into the night even when the
moon and stars are hidden.

Mayne Reid's own Romance.

Mayne Reid was thirty years of age
when, visiting at the house of Mrs.
Hyde-a descendant Of the famous Earl
OF Clarendon-he met n girl of thirteen
and, as he afterward said, fell in love at
first sight. The child, of course, took
no notice of him, but he lent her his TO.
nance, THE Scalp Hunters as effect
i've a manner of counting in this nine
teenth century as ever was Othello's in
an earlier one. Two years afterward,
however, the young lady was at public
meeting in provincial town and Cap
tain Mayne Reid was speaking on behalf
of the Polish refugees. "An cleo
trio thrill seemed TO pass through
me as he entered the room,n she
afterward said, and when the meeting
was over she went up to shake hands
with him. Il leave London by The next
train" he said, hurriedly; 'send me
your address" speech seemed to have
left me, said Mrs. Reid; but it flashed
upon me that was in ignorance of his,
and managed to stammer out, Il do not
know where" He instantly handed me
his card and was gone. A formal little
note followed: Dear Captain Reid: AS
you asked me last night to send YOU my
address, do So" BY return of post
came the answer; ''Only say that YOU
love meand | will be with you at once;
aud then the reply, II think do love
YOU" Needless to say that there is
nothing as good as this in the lovers
novels.

small and large ticks that insidiously
sucked ones small store of blood;
the wasps, which stung one into rag

the tree or shouted near their haunts;
the wild honey bees, which one day
scattered two canoe crews and mnished
them SO that we had to send adetach-
ment of men to rescue them; the tiger
slug, that dropped from the branches
and left his poisonous fur in the pores of

Honesty in the Dark.

A Detroiter who was down in Ken
lucky on bu siness few days ago put up
at a hotel which was very much crowd
ed, and found himself obliged to occupy
room with a stranger, who claimed to
be from Wisconsin, says theDetroit Free
Press. The pair sat and conversed for u
while to size each other up, and then
each retired to his own bed. They
mig hit have left their none Y and watches
with the landlord. but each seemed to
feel that the valuables would be no safer
down stairs than up. After the light
was turned out proper disposition was
made of personal property, and no doubt
each man lay awake for an hour or two
to watch the other Both awcke about
the same time in the morning and as
they got up the Wisconsin man OBJ
served:
"Isn t that your wallet there by the
washstand?'
Good lands but it is. 1t must have

Thus, despite of all the precautions
taken, the property of each had been eX-
posed to the taking, and next night, as
they tumbled into bed, everything was
