The dry weather which prevailed with more

is now broken. and on Thursday this week
there was a fall of over four inches of rain in
Georgetown. The rain was general through
out the colo ny, and the canefelds and pastur-
age are alre ady giving signs of IFS beneficial
effect. Grinding operations are going merrilv
on the sugar estat es, and the harbour is as busy
as it generally is at this season of the year.

Two Stories About the Bible.

Washington clubs, Commander Schley
of the navy received among his boyhood

from rich aunt. After moments re-
Election, they say, he exclaimed: "I'm up
to that dodge" and began examining the
volume eagerly leaf by leaf until he
reached the Sermon on the Mount, where
he found ten dollar bill pinned to the
page. This is no better story than that
of George Hayward's gift of big Bible
to the old city club.
In the presence of witnesses he put a
ten dollar bill in the book-at what chap
ter is not stated. The volume lay on the
center table in the reading room. At
the end of year, in the presence of the
same witnesses, Mr.. Hayward opened
the Bible and found his ten dollar bill
just where he had left it. There was
nobody in that club who was "up to the
dodge" which young Schley penetrated

A PRACTICAL JOKER.

Some of Perkins Harmless but Amusing
Tricks Which He Perpetrates.
Perkins is tall, angular and practical
joker of the severest type. One of his
peculiar pleasantries is to suddenly halt
strange, pompous individual ON the
street, buttonhole him and remark with
cool assumption:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but l think
you have made a mistake"
What is that, sir?' the victim is like
ly to ask.
"Well," Perkins will reply with the
utmost audacity, ''this city does not be-
long to any one man or set of men. You
may think you own it, but you don't.
Seer and Perkins will hurry away, leav-
ing the pompous man to his own refec-
tions
Sometimes he varies this interesting
performance in this highly original fash

will beg for light for his cigarette.
This trifling favor having been extended,
he will engage his victim in converse.
tion for moment. When another
stranger appears Perkins halls him. As
he approaches Perkins introduces him to
the first man.
"Ah, Mr.. Smith, permit me to present
you to my friend, Mr.. Brown. Mr.
Brown, Mr.. Smith,"
OF course the men shake hands and
Perkins takes his departure, leaving the
strangers to extricate themselves from
their embarrassment as best they can.
One day Perkins entered a small east
side dry goods store with a friend.
Ranged in front of the counter were a
row of stools Upon these the men seat
ed themselves. In moment dapper
young clerk came up and asked Perkins
what he desired. For an instant he
seemed puzzled for reply, but soon his
eyes rested upon the familiar sign "If
you don't see what you want ask for it,"
That furnished him with clew.
WELL" he said in measured tones,
"you can bring me plate of corned beef
hash, nicely Drowned, with two poached
eggs on top; also cup of hot coffee.
What's yours, George?" he added, turn
ing to his friend.
Gimme the same," he responded.
All the girls in the store stared hard
at the impudent fellows, and the clerks
eyes began to bulge
"Gentlemen," he replied, with a show
of calmness, "you have made slight
mistake; this is a dry goods store and
not a restaurant. Do I look like a
waiter?'
81 am not here to answer questions,
young man." said Perkins, as with his
friend he rose and moved toward the
door, "but if you can't fill orders you'd
better go out of the business or take in
your sign"
And the jokers vanished out the door.
Perkins is still at large.-New York

The Mushroom.

1t is comNonly believed that the
mushroom literally grows in night, so
that it has come to be emblematic of
sudden development, but the truth is
quite otherwise. 1t is very likely to re-
quire several weeks for it's formation,
and up to the time of it's appearance in
the light of day it remains beneath the
surface, very much compressed and held
in small compass. Then comes moist
night, and the cells of which the fungus
is composed are greatly expanded, so
that it thrusts itself out above ground.
But it is no heavier, though SO much
bigger, than days before, perhaps, when
it lay hidden in small compass under the
top layer of soil, a perfect mushroom
