a Plea

Il was hut a moment, the hurt and the loss.
For ever I loved you well;
With their mad and their wanton spelf
For the stars they made from the earths light dust
A heart that should wander and stray,
That should love aud forget, as the stars rise and sesi
The stars In their changeful play.
They touched Il with hues OF leaping nrA
with shadows and CLEANS from the sea-
With the hush Of the dawn and It's sweet desire.
And a breath OF the wind so free.
Yet all my life ! have loved you well,
As a child In its play loves achildI
But a heart. that the stars have bound By . spsn.
Must follow their fancies wild.

Ha! Hal! Hail.!

MI. O'Shea, the well-known war
correspondent, tells the following
anecdOte of an adventure with a
herd of elephants: "a young friend
asked me ace to show him some ele-
plants, and l took him with me,
having first borrowed an apron and
filled it with oranges. This he was
to carry while accompanying me to
the stable: but the moment we
reached the door the herd set up
such a trumpeting-they had scented
the fruit-that he dropped the apron
and its contents and scuttled off like
a scared rabbit. There were eight
elephants, and when l picked up the
oranges l found l had tive-and-
twenty. l walked deliberately along
the line, giving n to each. When
l got to the extremity of the narrow
stable 1 turned, and was about to be-
gin distribution again, when / sud-
denly reflected that if elephant No.
I in the row saw me give two oranges
in succession to No. s he might i'm
agine he vas being cheated, and give
me a sn.ack with his proboscis-that
is where the elephant falls short of
the human being-so l went to the
door and began de nOvO as before.
Thrice | went along the line, and
then l was in a fix. l had one orange
left, and l had to get back toward
the door. Every elephant in that
herd had his greedy gaze focused on
that orange. 1t was as much as my
life was worth to give it to any one of
them. What was l to do? l held it
up conspicuously, coolly peeled it.,
and sucked it myself. 1t was most
amusing to see the way those ele-
plants nudged each other and shook
their pOnderous sides. They thor
oughly entered into the humor of
the thing"

Dress-Suits and III ,nds.

1t is a well-known fact that men
not habitually accustomed to wear
ing evening dress sometimes find diff
ticulty in disposing of their hands to
their entire satisfaction; indeed, it
takes a "blooded" nan to know what
to do with his hands and to be able
to forget them. The man with his
hands behind his back is a familiar
figure: and it is a curious fact that
upon the signs which one may see in
various parts of the town announcing
dress suits for sale or to hire and dis
playing the figure of a man in even
ing dress, the man is almost always
represented with n or both hands
behind his back. Even upon those
rainted c~anvases, while the mans
face is bold his hands are shy. This
seems almost a pity. 1t may be that
the painters are moved by a subtle
sympathy with the generality of
mankind or by the fact that the hui
man hand is a pretty difficult thing
TO paint, but it seems as though,
both for arts sake and for the public
instruction, they should give to the
man on canvas the appearance and
The bearing of a trained society man.

An ENJOYABLE Fire!

While the author Of 'ln the
Shadow Of the Pagoda" was making
a journey to the interior of Burmah
he came to a village that was on fire.
The inhabitants did not seem to be
doing anything, and the Englishman
set his men at work and called for
help. At last one old native and two
younger ones took very reluctantly
their places at the pump.
They pumped half -heartedly for
five minutes: then, as i'll luck would
have it. a flock of paddybirds ap-
peared overhead. They lowered
above the rolling smoke, and the
flames cleaned rosy-pink on their
snow-white plumage.
''Ahmay! Red paddy birds! Look!
Red paddy-birds.."
The sight was too much for the
lazy wretches at the handles. They
sQuatted on their heels, re-lighted
their cherools, and stared upward.
"Whose house is that" the En-
glishman demanded, pointing to one
now threatened.
"YOur honor, that is the house of
Pho Too"
"Where is Pho Too?"
"He is there"
The Englishman turned. The man

with the foundation Of the section
of the country mentioned may be-
found in the celebrated tide wells,
of Polk, Butler, and Colfax counties,
in Nebraska. Polk County is best
provided with these curious wells,
having between a dozen and twenty,
which roar and ebb and flow with an,
unseen tide. The roaring of these
remarkable curiosities (they cannot
be called natural wonders, because
they are the work of man, at least SOL
far as excavation is cOncerned) Isl
caused by the inhalation and exhala-
tiOn of immense quantities of air.

space of time in which it seems that
all the air Of the Platte Valley will
be sucked into the cavernous depths
of these wonderful wells. The period
of this ebb and flow does not seem to
depend upon either the seasons or
the state Of the weather, but is
thought to have some mysterious
connection with the high and low
tide periods of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. A meteorological Of
national reputation, who sought to
fathom the mystery of the "Platte
River tide-wells," and who issued a
little pamphlet with the title, "ROar-
ing Wells Of Nebraska" gave it as
his opinion that the roaring phen-
omenon was in some way connected
with the prevailing direction of the
wind. being StrOnges1'in time of
west or southwest breezes. The farm
ers in the three counties mentioned
as being best provided with these
tide-regulating, air-expelling wells,
believe that the water supply is on
nected with a body large enough to
have a regular ebb and flow of tide.
All the wells in the counties of Polk
and Butter which are tide regulated
are of adult the same depth, those of
Colfax being deeper, but all extend
ing to a porous stratum having the
same general characteristics.

FREAK OF AN OLD VOLCANO.
Suddenly Transformed into Destructive
Activity After Centuries of Quiet.

Suddenly Transformed Into Destructive
Activity After Centuries of Quiet.
One of the lesser mountains Of
Chile, whose summit is nearly 1000
feet lower than that of our Mount
Washington, has been the talk Of
that country for a year past. says the
New York sun. Without a note Of
warning it developed into a very
lively Volcano and its eruptions have
destroyed much property, including
the humble homes of many farmers
living zeal it's base. This sudden
outburst was all the more surprising
because no one had ever suspected
that Mount CalbucO was capable OF
sub behavior. CalbucO was re-
garded as Il volcano that centuries
ago had lost every spark Of vitality.
On February "A. 1898. DR.. Hans Stet-
fen. VIII lie about twenty miles north
of Puerto Montt a little south of II
degrees south latitude, observed
white clouds on the eastern slope Of
Caibuco. He thought nothing of it
until the next dav, when he saw con-
elusive proof that those clouds were

Il DOUBT that the long lost activity
of the volcano had been regained.
From that time until October %, the
date of the latest adviceS received
from that isolated part OF the world,
Ca!buco showed considerable and al
most incessant activity, with &C.
casional ouUDurSts OF much fury. On
tnat day a rain Of ashes fell upon
Osborne. sixty miles away. obscuring
the sun so that at midday lamps were
burning in all the houses Of the
town. The detOnations that marked
the more violent OutbUrSts were
plainly heard. On the same day the
farmers on the 6 0 It'll shore OF Lake
Llanuuihue, a little north of the
volcano, barely escaped with their
lives and saw all their property de-
stroyed. Their harvest was ruined,
their land made worthless by the vol
canic sand that covered it and their
cattle were killed. Even long before
October the region of which the little
mountain is the center had been rem
dered uninhabitable. For miles
| around the forests had been destroyed
by showers Of hot ashes. One day
there was a rain Of red-hOt stones
