it on. Bridget was upstairs getting
breakfast, and there was no one around
to see how bravely he mounted n chair
by the side of the largest tub and jumped
in with Il dreadful splash.
He came down with such n thump on
the bottom of the tub, and found the
water SO chilling, that he quickly scram-
blcd out shivering with cold and crying
with bruisc.
Mamma heard the noise and came
rushing down in a fright, exclaiming:
80 Harry, what is the mattcr?"
II tried to swim in the tub and
couldn't" he answered, between his
sobs.
"And pretty mels you've made for
me-" said Bridget, coming halfway
down the stairs TO find out what had
happened.
''If you won't be mad" said Harry,
with his teeth chattering, "I'll shake a
quarter of n dollar out of my bank and
give it to YOU"
"And I'll give you another quarter"
said mamma.
So Bridget laughed instead of being
mad and made haste to wipe up the wet
floor, while mamma rubbed the little
swimmer and got him back into his dry
clothes.
AS soon as he could stop crying he
said to her: II think you are good not
to scold me, mamma-real good."-M.

On Harry's fourth birthday he went
with his mamma to see class of small
boys show how they could swim, and
climb ropes, and jump over high bars,
and DO great many interesting things.
lie was very much pleased with all he
saw, but he seemed the most excited ut
seeing the little fellows diving and

of lively ducks.

He could not forget how happy they
looked, and the next Monday morning
when he went into the basement and
saw the washtubs filled with water, a

lie searched the clothes baskets till
he found his last weeks nightgown,

THE COLONIES UMBRELLA.
There Wasn't Il Door In Dnniel's Uous

There Wasn't Door In Dnnici's House
That Would Take 1t In.
Jonas Hanway was said to be the
first man who carried an umbrella in
the streets of London. Umbrellas were
long before that carried by women, but
they We're considered a feminine luxury,
and q man would no more be seen with
one than nowadays he would walk the
streets with n parasol in summer, or
carry IL muH in winter.
But Jonas lIanway, thinking, like
sensible man, that all the good things
should not be appropriated by women,
boldly walked the streets one day with
nh umbrella probably it belonged to
his wifc) over his head. lie not only
kept himself dry among his moist fell
low-creatures, but he rendered his name
immortal, and left shining example
to MS who have not always the "cour-
age of our convictions"
But it was long before the whole
country got used to umbrellas. 1t was
told of one distant corner of Scotland,
that in that quarter umbrellas were
sported only by the laird and the min
lister, and were looked upon by the com
mon class of people as perfect phenom-
clll. 10 see inc minister or the lalfO
go by with an umbrella over his head
was as good as circus to the small
boys of the village.
One day Daniel Mcpherson called
upon the laird to pay his rent. AS he
was about to leave, hard shower came
on, and, Daniel being well-to-do man
and much respected" the laird polite
ly offered him the use of an umbrella.
Daniel proudly accepted the loan, and,
much clatcd, walked off with his head
held several inches higher than usual.
lie had not been gone many minutes,
however, when to the laird's surprise
he sees Daniel posting back with all
possible haste, the umbrella still held
firmly over his head.
lilac, haze, Korncl," he called out,
"this'll never do! There's nae door in

The AURORA RorealiS.

About 10 p. m. last Saturday the
aurofal arc was observed in the
heavens extending to the east and
west Of north, about 450 each way.
The light was then "A bright yellow
ish. white with dark segment. At
10:30 the. finest exhibit began.
The arc was still there, somewhat
higher and brighter. Along it, at
intervals, rose bright little cones
extending very quickly upward
from the horizon, and changing
rapidly to fine streamers of yellow
ish and redish light, which widened
and frightened as they shot up to-
ward the zenith. Sometimes these
streamers rose from every part Of
the arc, and the merry dancers
began their play. They rose like
great, tremulous waves of light
from the entire base of the segment,
nuttering through and up among
the streamers, one wave following
the other in very quick succession
and making the whole northern sky
to tremble. These waves were not
unlike "shcet lightning" except
that they always went in one direc-
ton, rising regularly from the hori-
zon and proceeding upwards with a
vibratory motion.
The streamer-rays shot up with
wonderful quickness, changing the
whole face Of the sky in two or
three seconds. At times when they
arose in great number, the sky was
sulTused with the beautiful rose
color which marked the Aurora Of
February 18th. The Auroral light
filled a space Of more than ninety
degrees, reaching alternately futher
to the east and west. It travelled
from the west TO east, and, after
some minutes, began again at the
west. During the first part Of the
display, it was most masked at the
west, but in the course Of the even
ing, 1t appeared equally as fine all
around the heavens, reaching nearly
to the east point. The arc at first
