roar of the waters clear, joyous
shout; and around the corner of the
house swept long, dark object.

streaming down, revealed the name

therein, and pulling with the lusty

he shouted. "She leaked some, but
plugged up the crack with my vest.
Climb in now. Keep up good cour-
age; and, please God, we'll soon get
to dry land"
And SO they did, thanks to Gods
mercy and the lads bravery. By the
time the bluffs were reached, the
ranch building had loosened from its
foundation, and was floating giddily
along the food. But, by this time,
the waters had reached their height,
and few hours later began rapidly
to subside. No lives of human be-
ings were lost; but the memory OF
that terrible night will linger long
with the jewellers on the prairie.
Neveragain was Ted called tender
foot" Never again was he accused
of cowardice. And when, some weeks
later, after the house was secured
again to it's foundations and rendered
fit for occupancy, and everybody had
settled down to the comfortable rou
tine of old, Ted preached the cher
ished plan of organizing Sunday
school, he was listened to with res
pectful attention; and Jack and
Jerry said, with one accord: eyes,

MUSICAL GLASSES.

In the quaint old town Of Nuremberg
some instruments are preserved, known
now as harmonious, which were played
with the moistened finger; but l think
the instrument best known is that which
the composer Gluck is said to have in
vented, and which by the name OF "musi'
cal glasses" was all the rage in England
in TAG. Gluck arranged twenty
glasses irregularly filed with clear
spring water. and upon these he played
q variety of music with his fingers
slightly moistened. In the "Vicar OF
Wakefield" the fashionable London
ladies are described as able to "talk Of
nothing hut high life - pictures,
tasks, Shakespeare. and the musical
glasses" while Horace Walpole. writing
the same year, TAG, to his friend Mann,
refers to Gluck's performances, but
says he thinks he has heard Of some
thing Of the same kind before. But it
was to our own Benjamin Franklin that
the improved of perfected harmonica is
due. He was in London eleven years
after Gluck's visit. and found Mr..
brokerage performing on these musical
glasses, very we'll, it is true, but Frank
lin at once said that something better
could be done.
Accordingly he put his scientific wits
to work, and the result was an instrument
he called the armonica, to which an "h'
was added, as being more appropriate,
1t consisted of basins Of glass strung on
an iron spindle, the lower edge dipped
into trough OF water. AS an improve
ment on Gluck's method. Franklin re-
gulated the pitch of the tone by the size
of the glasses, not the amount Of water
in or under them. Mozart and many
other well-known composers did not dis.
dain to write for the harmonica, and in
1888 Method" for students was COM
piled. The very simplicity, however. OF
the instrument made it easy Of imita-
ton and improvement. Wood and glass
with straw were combined under vari-
GUS names-Hdrper's Round Table.

Burning a Bedquilt.

Rosy and Posy were raking away the
leaves from mamma's fiower-bed. The
big sugar naples had scattered many
over it the autumn before. Rosy said
that they'd been mice, warm bedquilt
for the flowers gay red and yellow at
first, but now faded brown.
And, when the "quilt" was taken of,
such wonderful things as the children
found! Pale green tulip leaves. bleached
grass blades, folded buds Of yellow and
purple crocuses. and snow-drops; like
little white sleeves, green-dotted. and
white scalloped edges.
There were little insects crawling about
under the warm leaves on top-bugs and
beetles-all going very slowly, as though
they had the rheumatism. A spider
hurried out rather lively, and swung
himself up over the dried honeysuckle
vines, and a couple OF caterpillars
crawled on the gray fencerails.
There was a bonfire in almost every
neighbours yard. Rosy and Posy had
one, too. They burned up the flowers

ling, brown leaves made! could not
begin to say how many matches Posy
used; but the frolicksome spring wind
shifted every one out, so that the hired
girl had to bring shovelful of red Goals
from the kitchen stove before the leaves
caught. Then there was a great roar
ing of scarlet flames and blue coils or
smoke, all twisting and leaping upward.
"Oh, what'll the flowers do for a bed
Quilt, when winter comes again?" said
Rosy.

as he glanced up at the red buds on the
