Rain That FIoated Iron.
From the somerville Journal.

The most phenomenal occurrence was at the
corner of School and Medford streets. where the
cover OF the manhole was lifted up and carried
from its position. This was caused by the up
ward pressure OF the water in the manhole. the
water pouring down from the slopes OF Winter
1t filled the sewer and the manhole. The iron
cover which was displaced by the water weighs
220 pounds 1t was recovered by one of the G IL
ployees of the sewer department and put back
into position. Then he added his own weight to
the top of 1t and held 1t there till the storm
was fioated from its position by the upward
force OF the water.

China. and while we lay there unload
ing. the agents of the vessel accepted a
profitable charter for Australia. The
gold fields had just been discovered in
that part of the world, and the chance
was not to be missed. l fretted at the
DELAY. but duty was before me. and
that stood first. We set sail for the
Australian coast. Our voyage was
disastrous one. When within two days
sail of our destination, our ship, The
Blue Jacket, was overtaken by violent
storm. which so disabled her that we
had to take TO our boats. 1t happened
strangely enough that another vessel,
named The Blue Jacket, was caught in
this storm, and went down with all
hands. We were more fortunate. Only
one man was lost-our skipper-so that
the command devolved upon me. We
were picked up and taken into Mel
bourne. and there l reported myself.
My great anxiety now was to get home
as soon as possible, but temptation
was thrown in my way which | could
not resist. l was offered the command
of a vessel belonging to the owners of
The Blue Jacket. This vessel was to
trade first to China, and there take in
cargo for London. To successfully ac-
complish this to the satisfaction of my
owners would be as good as the making
of me. No more partings from Mabel,
then, thought l, as I joyfully-though
with natural rue at the delay-accept-
ed the offer. wrote home to Mabel the
double good news of my escape from
shipwrick and my promotion. You will

TRAINED CHAMELEONS.
What IA Little Girl Accomplished with
Two of These Reptiles.

Two of These Reptiles.
Much has been written about the
beauty, the stupidity and the vicious
ness of the lizard tribe, and want to
say a word about the intelligence of
the chameleon, a little reptile belong
ing to the great lizard family, and in
size the antipode of the alligator, it's
big brother, says correspondent of
the Washington Star. The incident
now relate came under my personal OBJ
servation, and demonstrates that the
chameleon is susceptible of education
and can be ranked with animals classed
much higher in the scale of intelec-
tual development. Miss Henrietta
Keene, little lady of u years, living
in Philadelphia, was presented with
two Florida chameleons, and she at
once began instructing and educating
her pets. By continued gentleness and
kindness she won their confidence, and
at her call they would raise their heads,
listen, and then come running quickly.
Soon they responded to their names
BrintOn and Baby-and nodded their
little heads knowingly. She then
taught them to stand up on their hind
legs and put their little paws together
and stand in the attitude of prayer,
looking solemn and closing their eyes;
at signal they would quickly PROSTATE
themselves, roll over on their backs
and pretend to be dead, lying without
motion, until told to rise and embrace
which they would do with every sign
of Joy and pleasure.

My answer did not appear to satisfy

woman's persistence, that circum-
stances should arise in your absence

"Why?" l inquired, interrupting her.
Il should never doubt" she an
swered with tender smile. KNOW

faith in you have become part OF my
life. So it comes natural to me. When
you first saw me you were a man

but man who had never loved any

that l can be as obstinate as yourself.
Do you know of any such circumstance

She paused a moment before she re-
piled:
NO, | know OF none.
Then take my answer, my dearest.
Nothing could ever shake my faith in
you-nothing could ever weaken my
love for you. If any necessity really
existed that these words should be
spoken, am glad that they are spoken
at Christmas. Henceforth this good
season holds more sacred place in my
heart, because it has brought me the
priceless blessing of your love; be-
cause, also, of the lesson it has taught
me-the lesson of faith, to live forever
undimmed in my SOUL"
She held me round the neck, and,
kissing me, tearfully, whispered that
she would never, never forget the words
| had spoken.
And so that happy Christmas flew

rived when my duties called me away
