The Coming Of Summer.

Tho wood. arc ustir with iuther Of wings,
Each thicket resounds with the notes of a
song;
The maples' ,.yeen banners unfuri to the
breeze
And hither the dryads come tripping along
Whose chanting has startled the squirrel that
springs
From bough unto bough OF tho whisper
ing trees.
The uplands. whose pasturesof emerald hue
Laugh low at the frolics OF iambkins at
play,
Are waiting expectant for some one to
come,
Trcked out in their holidey finery, gay
With buttercups yellow and harebells Of blue,
That tinke and chime when we think
they are dumb.
The brook is aglad with hilarious glee,
And gambols and leaps as it runs to the
lake.
"she's coming! she's coming!" it shouts
to the field;
oThe cranes have como back and the wood
chuek's awakel'
Like any young madcap from durancc set
free,
And singetb for joy till its lips shall be
sealed.
The lake as her children run into her arms,
Impatient TO tell the good tidings the first,
Takes each to her heart, and there rocks
1t to sleeps
And while on her heaving full bosom tits
hurst,
She croonsa soft lullaby, speaking the charms
OF summer, high carnival coming to keep.

The Deadly Shrapnel.

Recent experiences in little wars in
the far East and in peaceful practising
have caused military experts to class
the shrapnel shell as the gunner s
most deadly weapon. There have
been many improvements in the shell
and the manner of using it in recent
wears. 1t consists Of 4 hollow cylinder
Of steel filed with bullets, and having
in its head or its base a charge of pow
-
der just sufficient TO break the GYM
der when desired. Tho charge is
fred by time fuse, which lights it
self from the flash in the gun and fires
the charge after fixed number of
seconds, or by percussion fuse, which
explodes the charge whenever the
shell strikes the object aimed at. The
time fEse makes the shrapnel do its
deadliest work Firing at target
5000 yards away the gum will time
the fuse to explode the she 100 yards
short of the target, when about fifteen
feet from the ground. The $50 bull
sets rush on, spreading as they go,
and carry destruction to as many
points over an area twenty yards wide
and 800 yards long "One such crash

Terrific Combat with a Giant Boa

Mr.. Hamlyn, the beast, bird and
reptile importer, has just received
consignment of snakes, among them
being huge boa constructor, asserted
to be twenty-one feet i'll length. Some
how, probably while being removed
from its travelling case to another
prison, this reptile got loose yesterday,
writes correspondent, and des-
perate struggle took place before it
could be restored to captivity, 1t got
one mans hand in its mouth, and rs |
witnessed the scene through the win
dow-the struggle took place just in
side the shop-it seemed to be grad
ually absorbing the limb. Altogether
five men were present, including the
unhappy fellow held captive by the
reptile, which made persistent and des-
perate efforts to enfold one or another
of them in its deadly embrace BY
alert dodging the men were able to
avoid this, while at the same time tax
ing measures to rescue their mate from
the reptiles clutches. This they
eventually accomplished by fastening
cord round its neck and drawing it
tight till it was half strangled, and lib
Grated the mans arm from its capa-
cious jaws. The sufferer was hurried
off to the nearest hospital, while the
snake was secured in a big box.
