MUSIC IN THE RIVER.

In Oldsn Times This Phensnenen Would
Have Been Thought 6uPernAtural.
It Is pretty generally known that in
tho Pascagouls river, near Scranton.
Miss. says tho Philadelphia Inquirer,
strange sounds are frequently heard, as
of q musical instrument played at q dis
tance, under water. Boating parties
are often startled at tho distinctness of
this music. They liken 1t to the sounds
produced by the vibration of musical
glasses or Of harp strings. The sound
rises and falls as If waited by tho wind,
and is locally known as the mysterious
music" The origin of the sound is gem
orally ascribed to q movement of sand
at the bottom of the river, although
there Is no evidence offered that the
sand does move or any reason given why
it should move. The explanation doubt
less rests upon the fact that such a phe-
nomenon as singing or barking sand Is
known to exist in several parts Of the
world. II is not likely that wet sand
would produce the sounds mentioned.
1t is more probable that fishes mako
these noises, for fish can sing, very
nicely, too. It seems rather funny to
speak Of singing fishes, but many Of
them do produce vocal sounds. Croal-
ers'get their name from the noise they
make. Bluefish protest Indignantly
when they are pulled out of the water,
but these are not such sounds as consti-
tute the music Of the fishes.

He came to small family hotel one
day and made the welkin ring for two

Voluntarily, and before complaints had
been made, he went to the clerk of the
house and said. confdentially: "Say,

He got the room with four thick
walls, and every guest in that hotel
knows of 1t now and rises up and calls
him blessed on retiring.

A Coming Martinez.

The ten-year-old crown prince of Ger
many appears to be in fair way of be-
coming an insuferable little prig. A
few days ago, when returning with his
brothers from drive, the palace guard,
as usual, turned out on the approach of
the imperial children. AS the carriage
had driven up rather rapidly the men
were forced to run us fast as they could
to assume their place in the ranks, and
one unfortunate fellow, in his haste,
forgot his gun. This was Immediately
noticed by the crown prince, who. as
soon as ever the carriage had stopped,
instead of entering the palace, hurried
off with his brothers to the officer in
command of the guard for the purpose
of lodging u complaint against the SOL
der who had appeared without his rife.
The result was that the soldier was sen-
fenced to four days arrest and to n
further term Of fatigue duty for his re-
missness, while the Berlin papers are
filed with laudatory notices of the mill
tary feeling and precision of the future
emperor of Germany.

Our Nearest Star.

Years ago it was supposed that Sirius
was nearer the earth than any other
star, and its light requires over three
years to reach US. Now, however,
Alpha Centauri, comparatively insig-
nifcant star Of the southern heavens,
Is known to be our nearest neighbor,
and Sirius Is so far removed that the
human mind fails to grasp the distance
when expressed in miles. The fact that
Light requires from seventeen to twenty
years to cross the space between our
little earth and this giant orb is scarcely
more easy to comprehend. If one would
appreciate the magnifcence Of this most
brilliant Of suns he should not think of
1t as near, but rather let his mind make
the vain attempt to follow the ray of
light thither as it travels on, unwearied,
day and night, at the rate of one hun
dred and eighty-six thousand miles a
second for twenty years.

friend and / ran away from our fami-

one of the nearby spring resorts, 1t was
with sinking Of the heart that I felt
obliged to accept her proposal for ride
the morning after our arrival. 1t was
lovely day, there was nothing appar-
emily to do, and / simply had not the
moral courage TO say frankly that riding
was Eurgatory to me.

therefore reassure me in the least. Be-
fore we got out of the hotel grounds the
suspected horse justified my fears by
shying at every tree and post we passed.
When the highway was reached he
acted no better, and by the time we had
ridden q city block was pale with
nervous fright and almost unable to

my friend was kindness itself She
tried to reassure me, suggested the

from standing, and 80 on. I tried des-

might have succeeded but for the body
of q discarded yellow omnibus which l
saw at the roadside short distance
ahead. What would that dreadful
horse do ut that, wondered! In mo-

horse shying half way across the
road, then bolting forward, to be
brought down only after several ener-
getic pulls.
"'That settles it, my DEAR said my
friend. this drive is chiefly for your
pleasure; it shall not be made pain to

back to the hotel.
II attempted feeble disclaimer.
But my friend persevered In her re-

which she says: MY dear: In our re-

and even more eager to return to the

my admiration for her selt-control."

made as it should be--between dutiable
imports and exports In the Free-trade
period the excess of dutiable imports over
exports was $59. .0O0,0O In the Protect
i've period the excess Of exports over
dutiable imports was $4,574 ,0O0, 900. The
annual per capita Of dutiable imports
was $7.sS in the first period and $3.50 in
the last, while the annual per capita of
exports was $7.73 in the first period and
$13.57 in the last It will thus appear
that for every dollar Of dutiable imports
in the years 1S47 to 1861 we exported
ninety-eight cents in value Of domestic
products, and that in the years 1876 to
1890. for every dollar Of imports we ex-
ported $l.71 Of domestic products. In
other words, our exports were 2 per cent
less than our imports under revenue
tariff. and our exports We're 70 per cent
greater than our imports under Pro
tectjve system We find, then. not only
that the aggregate of our foreign CON-
msrce has increased more rapidly under
the Protective system, but that when the
item of exports alone is considered the
relative rate Of advance is much greater.
and ] may say, much greater than that
attained by any other commercial nation.

Peter, n small boy, had been punished
for disturbing things on the library

this table was SO great that he could
hardly refrain from taking some article
