NNEEL,
ORIGIN OF CAROLS.

The singing of carols on Christmas
eve and Christmas day is of medieval
origin. A carol should be simple and
melodious There are many fine speci-
mems of them, but most of them are not
fine Here is the first verse of favorite
and ancient and famous one:
God rest YOU. merry gentlemen;
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ. our Saviour.
Was born upon this day
To save US all from satans power
When we had gone astray.
Oh. tidings of comfort and joy,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas day.

Pats Funny Request Put a stop to the
Duel.
Although it is familiar saying that
an Irishman is always spelling for d
fight, still there is one kind of fighting
to which even the brave sons of Erin
are sometimes averse. This is dueling.
A story well illustrating this fact has
recently come to us.
A certain Irishman, having been
challenged to fight a duel, accepted
the conditions after much persuasion
on the part of his friends, who felt
confident of his success. His antag-
onist, lame man, walked on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had
been reached the lame mans seconds
asked that he be allowed to lean
against milestone which happened to
stand there. The privilege was al
lowed, and the lame man took his
stand
The Irishman and his seconds drew
off to the distance agreed upon, one
hundred feet. Here Pats courage sud-
denly failed him and he shouted to the
lame man:
"Ive small favor to ask of ye, sorl''
What is it2" asked the cripple.
Pat answered.: 81 tould We thot We
might lean ag'in the milepost, and
now would like the privilege Of lean
i'm ag'in the mkt one"
The laugh that followed spoiled
everybody's desire for fight, and the
whole party went home without shot
having been fred. Youths Companion.

A Well of Frozen Air,

Near Dayton, Ore, there is well To-
cally known as the ''wel of frozen
MR." In drilling it stratum of frozen
clay and gravel was encountered at a
depth of fifty-five feet. After passing
through five feet of this numerous cav
tiles were encountered from which
cold air came with sharp gusts. The
escape of the air from the well may be
heard at distance of nearly two hun
bred yards and it is so frigid that it is
not possible for anyone to hold up his
hand over the opening for more than q
few minutes without having it frozen
stiff. A bucketful of water set near
the mouth of the wen will freeze
through and through during one
nights time. 1t is needless to add that
work ON the well was abandoned a
soon as these frigid blasts found vent
through the opening made by the drill.
