Two Hundred Inches of Rainfall.


Chcrra Punji, in the Khasi hills. AS
sam, British India, is the pole of the
greatest known rainfall" In other words,
IL is. the wettest region on the face of the
sarth. Mr.. Blandford, ut IL meeting of the
london Meteorological society, read Il
paper entitled Rainfall nj Charr Punt :"
III which he presented incontestablc proof
Of the extreme moisture of the country
in question. The records go back for
nearly 10 years, bur prior to 1872 are
rather incomplete. there being several
whole years in which no record was kept.
Carefully compiled data from these
weather journals, however incomplete
as they are, prove that quite frequently
during the summer, say from May TO
September, the rainfall fora single month
ranges from 700 TO Pig inches. Think of
1t! Nearly is feet of precipitation in 30
days. Colonel Sir Henry Yule's register
for the year 1871 shows that there were
26i inches of rainfall during the month
OF August. That was something phenom-
email even for Assam. however. and is
not taken into account in the deductions
made above.-St. Louis Republic.

Come Home, Papa!"

The haggard looking prisoner stood up
to hear sentence from the lips of the stern
faced judge Evidence had been brought
to show he stole food for his starving fam
lily, being out Of work and having no
money. A short distance away was the
weeping wife holding thin faced little
girl in her arms. The prisoner looked
about him in sullen and defiant manner,
as if he hated all the world, until his eyes
rested on his wife and his child. Then his
face softened, and for a moment it seemed
that tears would spring from his eyes.
John Lewis" said the hard, unrelent-
ing voice Of the judge, causing the prisoner
to straighten up and look sullen once more
you have been found guilty of the charge
against you, and 1t is my duty to pro,
nounce sentence upon you. wish to show
my utter adherence of such petty thievery,
and l shall make you an example. There
fore / sentence you to the penitentiary for
the term of two years"
The wife cried out as if she had been
struck to the heart, and the prisoner look
ed dazed as two officers placed their hands
on his shoulders and started to lead him
away Then the little girl in her mothers
arms stretched out her thin arms and cried:
Come home, papa"
go home with mamma" he said hoarse-
ly. Papa will come by and by" Great
tears started from his eyes and ran down
his face as he was led away to Jail, and the
weeping woman staggered from the court
room with the wondering child clutche,
convulsively to her breast.

Hark Bradshaw had a reputation He
