A WhIstIIng Barometer .

In the town of Great Valley,
Cattaraugus county, n. Y, there
is an interesting Curiosity, phe'
nomon or freak of nature, known
locally as "the whistllng WE'LL"
The we'll was drilled to the depth
of 40 feet a half century ago, but
no water accumulated. A fat
stone with a It inch hole was
fitted over the mouth Of the well,
and a whistle fitted into 1t, which
changed its tone as the air was
drawn down or up. In settled
weather the whistle was silent
An approaching storm was herald
ed by the warning shrek OF the
whistle as the air rushed out of the
well, but as clear weather ap
preached the current of air changed
and rushed into the well, and the
faithful whistle changed and told
the story by its changed tone. Tht
whistle has long been worn out
but the we'll still continues to ad
yertlse the weather. In a heavy
rain.storm the out.rusbing wine
forces the rain upward some fee
in the form of a spray.

Good Luck! !

Not long since a young man ap-
piled for work in the shop | am 10,
and, while discussing terms, asked
if he was TO be allowed any thing
on old shoes, says western black
smith. The boss said "no" pretty
sharply, and that ended the matter.
He told me he had worked in
Eastern cities where there ways al.
ways sale for the old horse shoes,
which are hung up "for luck" much
as they are here. In the West there
is a general idea that a bought
shoe brings no luck. 1t IS neces.
sary to find a shoe accidentally
and then hang it with the heel up
ward, so that the luck, as it falls
from somewhere, may be caught
and retained. But in the East, my
young friend says, if there is bad
luck in a house the shoe is often
blamed and thrown away, and a
new one bought to take its place,
This causes so brisk a trade in old
shoes during bad times that the
perqulsite is often very valuable.

we have seen before. The balloon
was lowering around waiting for
an opening. The fat man made a
felnt as if to butt the balloon with
his head, and when the balloon
thought 1t was about to land safe

three limp and laeIess things were
all that were left of three red and
riotous balloons.
The woman turned to signal the
conductor to stop the car, but saw
them not. She swept the car with
an anxious eye from side to side
and from end to end. She looked
at the fat man, but he was gazing
out of the car window and else.

At last the woman caught sight
Of the ghastIy wreck of her three
balloons. She gazpd npon the limp

FHE PRUDENT DRUMMER.

located every stairway and fire es-
cape. If there was to be an alarm
here tonight l could jump out OF
bed with the fullest confidence Of
saving myself. See here a minute"
And he took me into his room
and produced from his trunk a fire
escape made of ropes, and ex'
planned:
"Should happen TO be cut of
from the stairs or escapes, here is
my other chance. | catch this hook
on the window sill, so, throw the
rope out, so, and l can lower
myself fifty feet in forty seconds"
We had heen in bed about two
hours when l was awakened by
the odor OF smoke, and was hardly

and there were shouts of "FIre p
The smoke was so thin that ]

When l finally got out l found
him jammed into a linen closet hal
way down the hall and crying like
a child. His rope escape hung OF
the wirework of the elevator, and
he had made bundle OF his clothes
and flung them over a transon
into another room, The fire wa'
