strange to Vermont eyes, with its acres
and acres Of prairie stretching away till
earth and sky meet in circular boundary,
with its endless fields OF wheat, oats and
flax, and the steam threshers scattered
about in all directions. There are some
nice dwelling houses, but with them one
sees low-roofed cottages with one or two
rooms and lean-to. Hay and grain are
stacked everywhere and the cattle are
hitched to the stacks to feed, while the
horses have their meals served in the back
end of an express wagon. Fertilizer seems
to have an ornamental as well as useful
character and Is, therefore, carelessly
dumped in the most convenient places.
Brookings, where we stopped, is quite
town, having electric lights, board side
walks, good roads and population q
1900 people. Wells and windmills FUR
nish the supply of water, which has
slightly sulphurous taste. Brookings has
five churches, two colleges and good COM
mon schools. Travelling through the
country, it is frequent occurrence &c
meet little houses on wheels, moving from
place to place, and sometimes these are tns
boarding houses OF the threshers. The
wind blows the greater part OF the time
but they have little sickness here, and ths
air Is SO clear and dry and refreshing thai
it almost seems as though 1t must contain
resting powder"

Not a sentiuentalist.


A man. not SO much distinguished for
his fi,eness of feeling as for his practical
appreu iation OF a good trade, was living
with his third wife when he received the
offer of large sum OF money for the buri-
al lot in an adjoining town where bis TWO
former wives were lying side by SIDE.
Without consulting his present COM
panion. to her credit be 1t known, ne ac-
cepted the offer with but moments nesl-
tation and, hitching his horse to lum-
her wagon, set out at once to make the
necessary removal of the remains entailed
by this advantageous sale.
But when he reached his destination
and had entered upon his task, ne dis.
covered that the box which held All ina!
was left OF his first love had nearly rotteo
away, and it occurred to him, as DILL
liant idea, to place the contents OF the two
caskets in one, and 80 convey them away
home.
An unforeseen difficulty arose, though
after he had arrived at his own place ano
had dug two graves in distant corner o.
the farm.
II he had not known, he could not have
told whether he had one wife or hall
dozen in that box, SO completely lost wa
every trace OF individual being. Whicf
was Mary and which was Jane was decid'
edly beyond his ken, and the more h,
Wondered the more he became convinced
that the resurrection Of the body was al
utter impossibility.
In despair at finding any other way oul
OF his perplexity, he at last replaced I'M
cover and deliberately sawed the Dox II
two, burying one-half IN one grave, an.
the other half in the other, wondering
fearfully. as he did so, how those two
moor women, il they rose at all, wouit
ever manage at the last dread summons x
appear. happily unconscious that he him
self might find it necessary to apologize
for a noticeable lack OF soul.

sinking to the Bottom.

We are told that we are separated from the molten liquid winch fills the interior of the earth by crust of "earthy matter" which is only IS miles thick, and in some places the crust is actually believed to be much thinner. In Idaho, for instance, it would not take much argument to make some of the peologists believe that it is less than 1,s00 feet to the molten interior out posts of the globe. The reason that the earths shell is believed to be very thin that some of the greatest mountains in that state are actually settling down through it.-Chicago Chronicle.

Luxury In Central Indla.

We learn from a London interviewer that Zomba, the capital of British Gen. tral Africa, where Sir H. Johnston is stationed, is quite a civilized place, ill which the visitor may require dress coat: "If the commissioner asks you to dine you will find that he lives in a luxurious mansion, built high upon the shoulder of lofty mountain. Your dinner will be cooked by Hindoo chef of exquisite cunning; you will be wait ed upon by delft servants as black as night; the table will be decorated with flowers such as no British duchess could buy; the view from the window will delight your eye. After dinner you will step out into the veranda, perhaps, and smoke your cigar with the roar of the cascading river in your ears, or fall into luxurious chair and read your last novel from Mudie's, or the last batch of papers which the pcstman Las just delivered. Then early to bed.

IN THE BIG BATHTuB.

When I got home at five o'clock shucked my coat and shoes And sprawled upon the sofa there to read the evenings news; But mamma called before I'd found the "standing" of our club: "We're going to bathe the baby in the Big Bath Tub.' Good-by to baseball, then, and a farewell to book review; What care l for the stock reports trans cendently blue? What heed have I for strikers who are striking for their "grub?" They're going to bathe the baby in the Big Bath Tub Last week the little tin affair was not outgrown as yet, And baby stopped therein and made us all exceeding wet; But time has brought It's sequence to the blessed little cub, And now she's graduated to the Big Bath Tub. So mamma holds the baby and her grand ma gets the sponge, And all preliminaries are enacted for the plunge, And Ian interloper-to myself declare I'll rub The smooth back of my baby in the Big Bath Tub. She slips and slides and wriggles, and she chuckles in her joy. And you can wage a fortune that I'm glad she's not boy For what boy would be jolly in that war of splash and scrub That marks my baby's advent in the Big Bath Tub? And now back to the paper, while her grandma powders her And wraps the softest fabrics where the little rivers were, Till once again among LIS. she heoonnes tba central hub Round which we form to gossip of the Big Bath Tub

Would you have them rehearsed, Mir. Clyn?"
 Well, good deal might be done by judicious stage management"
 And a conductor with an ivory baton? There's something in that, ad- init. Your idea is that they should be- come forte when you are speaking, so as to afford sort of background for your wisdom?"
 Wisdom? What man with the least pretense to wisdom would come into a crowd like this for the sake of talking to girl who has consistently avoided him for the past year and month";"
 What man indeed?"
 And this brings us back to the original question. Why have you so consistently avoided me?"
 l could see that she was a trife put out by my persistence in returning to the topic which had originated with me. She had apparently found some imperfection in the feather tips of her fan, and thought that it would be un- wise to neglect the opportunity of pull ing off the uneven 6uffs. Some of them settled upon my waistcoat, where I al- lowed them to repose undisturbed; a few made a bee-line for the cavernous nostrils of our neighbor, Gen. Fire brace. He sneezed with considerable force of character.
 "Well, you see, so many things have happened since May 3 last year, MT. Glyn," said Miss Windram, when she had satisfied herself by the repeated opening and closing of her fan that she had remedied the defect in its construc- ton.
 What things--in addition to your avoidance of me?'' I asked.
 "Well, you have published book, to begin with. Isn't that something 9" she said.
 If we avoid all the people who have published book our circle of acquaint- ance would become appreciably mar rowed, Miss Windram. Anything else ?"
 Hasn't it gone into six editions ?" she cried, in tone of accusation.
 "I don't deserve the blame for that said l, in way that was meant to show her 1 felt the injustice of her accusa- tion. "Blame the public, if you wish. The public are invariably idiots, the editor of the Universe announced in connection with that book of mine. He was right, though the fact that the pub
