Like summer rain a-fallin' on the dry an dusty

Jes get your Barlow ready an prepare to

And carve it straight an steady, till it opens
red an ripe!
Then fold your Barlow careful, an take your
melon fiat;
Put one half on this side O. you-the other

Then, take the biggest in your lap an tear the

An smack your lips, an praise the Lord from

The humor of the legal mind is some
times trifie subtle. There is just now
to be seen In the window Of a famous
secondhand book shop In the Strand a
complete set Of "Voltaire" in fifty vol
umes. The set is bound In what is tech
nically known as Flaw calf" It has
evidently belonged to lawyer who hest
tated to let his clients perceive that he
was given to reading anything 80 mis-
chievously frivolous as the philosopher
of Ferney. or who could not resist his
own little joke. Instead, therefore, oi
lettering the volume "Voltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed "Arouet's Reports.

Climatic Changes.

The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once fourished in Green
land; coral insects built on the shores of
Melville island; nautiluses sailed over
what must then have been the tepid seas
about Spitzbergen. But with the lapse
of ages the scene changed, and worse
than arctic rigors spread into regions
now enjoying temperate climate. Pos
sibly not for the first time. The Per-
mian was certainly an inclement age,
and its inclemency seems even to have
reached the point of glaciation in the
west of England and Ireland, yet it was
preceded and succeeded by long prev
alence of tropical conditions.
These assuredly reigned without in
terruption, in north temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast expanse of
Tertiary time. Palms and cycads then
sprang up in the room of oaks and
beeches in England; turtles and croco-
dies haunted English rivers and estu-
aries; lions, elephants and hyenas
roamed at large over English dry land.

Paying q Debt.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, in spite of his large income,
was always in debt, sat one day in a
BARRIERS shop waiting to be shaved. He
was lathered, when the door opened and
tradesman entered who happened to
be one of the poets largest creditors.
No sooner did this man see Saint-Foix
than he angrily demanded his money.
The poet composedly begged him not to
make scene.
Wont you wait for the money until
am shavedT'
Certainly" said the other, pleased al

Saint-Foix then made. the barber q
witness of the agreement and imme-
diately took towel, wiped the lather
from his face and left the shop. He

kneeling to receive the pope's blessing,

A curious custom prevails at Huay-
ning-hsien, in KwaDgsi. On the If
teenth day of the first month In each
year all the young ladies and gentlemen
take walk to the Yen-yen mountain.
Each damsel carries little box, which
she deposits at the foot of the hill. ANY
young gentleman desirous of entering
the bonds of matrimony may select one
of the boxes and take it away with him.
whereupon the fair owner of the box
makes herself known and an acquaint-
anceship is thus formed. Ill assorted
matches are not likely to occur, as this
custom is observed only among the well
to do classes of society.-Schnitzel und

The other afternoon. v hen the shadows
were growing longer in the streets and
the day was taking ON n somber hue, q
little group of politicians sat in the city
hall RECALLING each other with We stories
OF ye olden time. Among those reeled
Of was the following regarding an ex-
perience of William IL. Seward who was
then governor of the Empire State. II
seems that while travelling around
through the rural districts and making
sure that his political fences had no very
bad breaks in them. he came one even-
ing to the humble abode OF farmer.
1t was too far from the town where
he was stepping to 20 back that night,
and so he asked permission TO stop there
This was oheerfully granted. and after
partaking of an old fashioned country
supper the old farmer invited his un-
known guest to take ride across the
country with him. he having an errand
to do in a neighboring village. With
all the suavity for which Mr.. Seward
was justly famed, he accepted the invi-
tation, and as they drove along in the
gathering twilight he entertained the
old farmer with all manner Of campaign
experiences and stories.
The old farmers native shrewdness
caused him TO wonder why the stranger
should show him so much attention, and
at last he blurted out:
"Say, be you book agent?"
''Not that know Of" was the gov
ernor's smiling reioinder.
Perhaps you're lightning rod man,
ehY'
mo, sir; you are wrong again."
"Then you're a sewing machine man"
No, SIR"
"Well, then, by gosh, you must be q
politician.
Mr.. Seward at once acknowledged the
soft impeachment, and then informed
the inquisitive old fellow that he was
the governor of the state of New York.
This quieted the old fellow for awhile,
but at last he could hold in no longer, and
he quietly informed Mr.. Seward that he
thought he was liar Mr.. Seward,
however, insisted on the truth of his
story, and the dispute finally resulted in
q wager of twenty dollars. The money
was placed in an old lantern that was
carried In the wagon to be used in case
of emergency, and it was agreed that
the first person they met was to decide
as to the ownership of the money.
Should he fail to recognize Mr.. Seward
as governor the former was to win, and
vice versa.
The test soon came. Driving by the
shop Of wayside blacksmith, the pro-
prietor himself stood in the doorway.
The farmer stopped his wagon and Mr..
Seward said:
my friend, my veracity has been
questioned by the gentleman with me,
and / should be pleased to have him con-
vinced as to who / am. Will you be
kind enough to tell himY'
The man of Drawn and muscle peered
at Mr.. Seward long and earnestly. Then
turning to the farmer he said, in awe
struck tones:
"He's all right, Billl / know hint
He's Thurlow Weed, by goshf'
The farmer took the twenty dollars
and Mr.. Seward was poorer by that
amount than when he started out.-Chi-
