Coiored Snow aud Hail.

Storms in which red, yellow and
orange colored SHOWS fell were record
ed as long ago as the sixth century.
Humboldt mentions a hailstorm which
once occurred in Palermo, in which
every hailstone was as red as a slobule
of frozen blood. On March IA, 1913,
there was a hailstorm in Tuscany In
which the individual stones were each
of a bright yellow color. In 1908 at
Carniola, Germany, they had a fall OF
crimson snow which was nearly five
feet in depth. Snow Of a brick-red hue
fell In Italy in 1916, and in the TyrOl
in 1S47. In some sections of Iceland
snow seldoms falls to any considerable
depth without being composed of al
ternate layers Of frozen crystals of diff
ferent colors. Sir John Ross mentions
Arctic banks OF red snow which are so
well known to explorers that they are
called the crimson cliffs"

A QUEER PROPOSAL.
1t Came TardiIv but Was n Model in Its
Ereyify.

An aristocratic young lady of Magde-
burg. Germany. had spent some time at
the country seat of her uncle and a
young cavalier from Berlin had been
paying much attention TO her. Every
body thought it would be a good match
for both and affairs went on swim
mingly until the day drew near when
the young lady was TO return home.
The nearer the day came the more dis
appointed were the young miss and her
mother at the failure of the young man
to ask the all-important question. Fin
ally they left their relatives house in
great dismay, and just before leaving
the young lady remarked To her uncle
that it probably was as we'll for both.
as her mother had not much use for
such a northumberland son-in-law.'
They left on a train on the narrow
gauge railway connecting the valley
with the nearest town. After they had
gone the young Ia questioned the
uncle why the young lady had gone
away so angry and had hardly noticed
him when bidding him good-by. The
uncle. a blunt eX-sOldier, repeated the
remark made by his niece when leaving
to the young man, who was touched to
the quick by the i%nsinuation OF coward
ice contained therein. He was very
much in love with the lady and had
abstained from broaching the subject
on account of his not considering it
proper to propose anywhere but at the
young lady's home. which he intended
visiting before long.
This remark, however. aroused his
sense of honor and without saying an
other word. he mounted his horse.
which happened to stand ready for an
outing. and galloped after the train.
which had left a quarter of an hour be-
fore. Owing to benign Providence and
the management of this country rail
road he caught the train before it had
reached the next station. Karow; he
spied the young lady at the window OF
a first-class compartment and, riding
up to the train before it came to a full
stop. almost shouted breathlessly: My
dear Miss -, l ask for your hand.
Yes or no."
In the station Karow, just as the train
arrived. a Eyes" was joyfully given by
the young miss and tearfully approved

A Real Marriage Lottery.

In the Church Of Santa Maria Annun-
ziata. at Naples, girls assemble Once a
year for the purpose of being chosen
in marriage. On the day of Our Lady,
before it's altar kneels a silent row of
thirty girls dressed in black, and with
folded hands. They are orphans of the
neighboring founding asylum, and
once a year those who have reached
the age of eighteen have a chance Of
being chosen in marriage by any honest
man whose character is good. At the
door leading to the sacristy stands a
gray-haired priest, the head of the
founding institution. BY and by, a
young man approaches him, and hands
him a packet of papers. These the
priest reads carefully, and, being salts
fed, leads the candidate towards the
row of girls. The man walks slowly
along the row-at last he stops; his
choice is made, and he stretches out
his hand. The girl rises, puts her hand
into that of the stranger by way OF
consent, and together they disappear
into the sacristy. The ice having been
broken, others follow, and this goes
on until the suffers are exhausted, or
all the girls have been ch0sen.-Tid-

Throwing Mud.

Unless words without meaning are
used a persons vocabulary must be
bounded by his knowledge. Many years
ago / was teaching a class of poor chill
dren in the school connected with the
Church of st. PauIs, COvent Garden.
One day / exhibited a picture OF a hay
field with men carting hay. l asked
the children what the men were throw
ing up into the cart. They answered
without a moments hesitation, "Mud!'
1t then occurred to me for the first
time that these children had never
seen a bayfield, or the carting of hay.
but the s%cavenger's cart, carting mud,
they were quite familiar with, and
hence they spoke within their kHowl-
edge.-Notes and Queries.
