Ihrea Years Without a Summer.

January aud February OF 1916 were
warm and springlke. March was cold
and stormy. Vegetation had gotten
we'll along in April when rell winter
set in. Snow and sleet fell on sew
cnteen different days in May. In June
there was either frost or snow every
night bat three. The snow was five
inches deep for several days in success
sion in the interior OF New York aud
from ten inches to shree feet dcs2 in
Vermont and Maine. July was cold all
frosty. ice formed as thick as window
panes in every one OF the New England
States. August was still worse; ice
formed nearly an inch in thickness and
killed nearly every green thing in the
United States. In the spring of 1917
corn, which had been kept over from the
crop of 1915, sold for from s. to 80 a
bushel, the buyers purchasing for seed.
On May 10, 1889, snow fell to the
depth of a foot in jamestown, Va, an |
was piled up in huge drifts in most of
the Northern States. There was snow
in many parts OF Iowa and Illinois on
May II, 1878, and again as late as May

at has been calculated that for every

writer "We were at Corinth, and had

fenced him to be hanged. He was
marched out of camp to where a rude
gallows had been hastily erected, and
the regiment detailed to sec him into the

fellow with a babyish face, and felt
that he should be spared AMI sent home

down and beg for his life, and was
nerving myself for it, when we were
treated to a spectacle of quite different
kind. Just as he mounted the gallows
with a guarG on either side of him and
two behind him, he slipped his small
hands through his jewelry aud let out
right and left, knocking the first two
guards sprawling. The Two behind him
stood two steps below him. He turned,
vaulted over their heads, and before the
square could cone to charge-bayonets
had broken through it and was running
like scared wolf. The regiment broke
into al impulsive cheer, and it was
nearly minute before the order to fire
upon him was obeyed. Then a scatter
ing voley was sent after him. l don't
know how the others aimed, but l can
make oath that my bullet did not come
within dozen rods Of him. We gave
chase, but it was like trying to run down
a streak of lightning. Once the young

When Insects Play.

It is we'll known that several or our
notable as well as notorious human,
social, and civic customs find their pre-
historic prototypes in the insect king
dom. The monar hical institution sees
its singular prophecy in the domestic
economy of the bees. War aud slavery
have always been carried on systematic
ally and effectIally by ants, and, accord
ing to Huber aud other Authorities, agri-
culture, gardening, and an industry very
like dairy farming have bcca time-hon
ored customs among this same wise and
thrifty insect tribe, whose cliin to
thoughtful consideration was 50 long ago
voiced by Solomon Of prover5ial fame.

the same ceaselcss diligence is observable.
A belated traveller passing through the

with the sounls of labor which proceed

The EauIe as an Emblem.

The standard of the eagle was first
borne by the Persians; aud the Romans
carried figures of the eagle as ensigns,
in silver and gold, sometimes represented
with thunderbolt in its talons, on the
point CT a spear. The Romans adopted
the eagle in the consulate Of Marius, b.
c. 1O2. When Charlemagne, 742'0l4,
became master Of the whole Of the Ger
man Empire, he added the second head
to the eagle for his arms, to denote that
the empires of Rome and Germany were
united in him. The eagle was the i'm.
perial standard Of Napoleon |. 1t is also
the standard of Austria, Russia and
Prussia. Its adoption as the National
Emblem of the United States took place
