his extreme devotion.e
Old Humdrum-town you left behind seems
sadly uninviting,
With school, and books, and lessons that you're
tired Of reciting.
But 10! what's this? Your castle shakes. Its
walls are all a-crumble!
You stand amid a ruined mass alive, but very
humble.
Then Fancy rows you home again-it doesn't

You wouldn't know-his boats so swift-that
you were really in it.

A Dangerous Clam.

The giant clam is the largest bivalve
known. In Northern Australia this is
considered an edible species and is reg
nlarly sought after by the natives. Mr..
Denton of the United States Fish Com
missioner has seen clans containing
forty to- fifty pounds of meat, and it is
a matter of record that individuals
weighing 800 pounds have been OBJ
served. The giant clam lies almost
concealed in the reefs, just showing
the beautiful blue and green of its
mantle above the coral. The crushing
power Of this shell is startling. Mr..
Denton thrust stick as big as mans
leg between the valves of one Of them
and it was broken short off. A mans
foot would be crushed as easily as a.
pipestem. The natives have whole
some dread of stepping unawares into
one Of these formidable traps. They
kill the animals by stabbing it with
long sword and then remove the meat
without disturbing the shell, thus saw
ing themselves vast amount of labor
and; trouble.

day the lady heard loud racket in the

glass fighting his own shadow-was a

There wasn't a piece of glass left large
enough for a hand mirror; and the
rooster was SO mad when the lady ap-
peared on the scene that he turned his
attention to her, and for a awhile it
was a doubtful question as to which

Mrs. BOWS Sharp Tongue.

Mrs. Mary E. H. G. Dow walkedintc
meeting of the directors of the street
railroad at Dover. N. H., one day, saws
a Boston correspondent of the N. z.
World, and, showing pocketful of the
company's stock, elected herself to, the
presidency and other offices. Then
she left the room with her head in the
air.
She became famous throughout New
England, but after two years of rule
the New Hampshire railroad queen de-
cided to forswear railroading and sold
most of her stock. The stock holders
recently held a meeting, at which Mrs.
Dow was asked to explain an overissue
of ffty-three shares of stock, and also
how it happened that in the statement
of assets and liabilities she gave to
Edward P. Shaw 10 whom she sold 26G
shares at $50 each, $500 of the indebt-
edness of the company did not appear.
Mrs. Dow did not explain as, desired,
but declared that the company now
owes her some $500 on uncollected
dividends, not to mention a bill for the
storage of an omnibus, the ownership
of which the company now repUdiates.
She. said the present management is

The officers told her that she had

A STRANGE LAND.
Features of Observation-Disclosures without
OdOr-No Shade.

Australia is a country in which ma
ture has established conditions I'M
known elsewhere, says the Boston
journal, and where civilization must
adapt itself to surroundings which it
hnds novel and strange. It is coun-
Try full OF absurdities in animal yege-
table. and human life. Its native race,
IN point Of intelligence and develop
ment OF resources, is far below even
the cave-dWellers and the people of the
stone age of Europe. It's animals per-
petuate types which disappeared from
every other part Of the globe some
mlll'ons OF years ago. Its trees and
plants are representative of species
found elsewhere only in chalk and coal
measures.
Hardly anything here has the char
acter and quality of it's relations in
other lands. Although the trees and
flowers are chiefly those of the temper
ate zone, the birds are, for the most
part, OF the tropics, and flash the COR
geous colors Of the parrot and the
cockatoo through the dull foliage of the
sad-toned eucalyptus. The birds have
no song, and such notes as they possess
seem like wierd echoes from a period
when reptiles were assuming wings
and filing the tree-tops with strange
Jargon, before heard only in the
swamps and fens. The flowers have
no scent, while the leaves Of every tree
are full of odor. The trees cast no
shade, since every leaf is set at edge
against the sun, and shed, not their
leaves, but their bark, which, stripping
OFT in long scales, exposes the naked
wood beneath, and adds to the ghostly
effect which the forest already holds in
the pallid hues of its foliage. The
contour of the country is of one that is
but newly risen from the waves. Its
thousands and thousands of square
miles, level as table and set with no
other growth than the gray eucalyptus,
looks like the uplifted bed of some
great sea and is as monotonous as the
unrelieved expanse of coast itself.
Here and there are low hills, which
show in their sides and in the country
about them the evidences of ancient
lava flows. Elsewhere are piled up
masses of powders, which show the
long-ago courses of glaciers over the
face OF the land. Everything seems
prehistoric, hoary with age, and for
gotten. To the traveller from other
lands an impression comes that he is
visiting a country which had ceased in
Its development long cons ago.

The Way 1t Is Said.

The sultan awoke with stiAed scream;
His nerves were shocked by q fearful dream.
An omen Of terrible import and doubt
His teeth all in one moment fell out.
His wise men assembled at break of day,
And stood at the throne in solemn array.
And when the terrible dream was told
Each felt shudder, his blood ran cold;
All stood silent in fear and dread.
And wondering what was best to be said
At length a soothsayer, wrinkled and gray,
Cried: Pardon, my lord what have to say
Ills an omen o.. sorrow sent from on high!
Thou shall see all thy kindred die"
Nroth was the sultan; he gnnshed his teeth,
And his very words seemed to hiss and seethe
AS he ordered the wise man bound with chains,
The wise men shook as the sultan's eye
swept wound to see who next would try,
But one of Them stepping before the throne.
Exclaimed, in loud and joyous tone:
"Exult, Q head of happy state!
Rejoice, heir of a glorious fate!
For this is the favor thou shalt win,
. sultan: To outlive all thy KIM"
Pleased was the sultan and called slave
And hundred crowns to the wise man gave
But the courtiers nod, with grave, sly winks;
And each one whispers what each one thinks:
well can the sultan reward and blame; ~
Didn't both the wise men foreten the same?"
Quoth the crafty old vizer, shaking his head:
so much may depend on the way a things
said!' C

Cold Blo0ded TRIBE Murder.

His daughter. Mrs. Joseph Depew, of
Brandon, and her little daughter were

people were but fairly asleep when the
Major arose aud began the work of
slaughteripg. He took revolver and
shot his wife as she lay asleep putting
two bullets into her body and mortally
wourding her. The noise of the shooting
awakened the Others, but the Major did not
hesitate. Springing into the apartment
occupied by his daughter and her child, be
cooily fired the bullet at Mrs. Depew, and
when it failed to kill her, he procured an
axe and krocked out her brains. Then be
pn'led his little granddaughter from be-

instantly, blood and brains bespattering

BRAZIL IN Hot WATER.-Brazilan ex-
chaage has taken annther dip to 24s, de-
spite the rosy prospects Of the provisional
government as depicted in the dispatch sent
out by one of its members. A fall of ten
per cent is a matter of some Importance. 1t
seems to indicate that the suppression of
the riot in Rio was not thought by the
Brazilian public to be the end of
the governments trouble. To the riot at
Rio must.be added the disorder developed
at other places. Anarchy, in fact, promises
to be the result of the effort of the republi-
can politician to inaugurate republic by
other than constitutional methods. 1t
would have been better. perhaps if Da
Fonseca had approached his object through
"a plseiscite. 1t is as dangerous sometimes
to give people government too good for
them as it is to aff1 ct them with one that is
too bad for decentralization Sun.
