jangle of bells, a hoarse, applauding
roar, and Coralie was in the midst of us,
whirling past 'twixt earth and sky,
now erect, flush, radiant, now crouched
to the flowing name, swung and tossed
and nodded by the maddening dance
music of the band. The mighty whip Of
the count in the frock coat marked time
with pistol shots; his warcry, whooping
clear above the music, fred the blood
with a passion for splendid deeds, as
Coralie, laughing exultantly, crashed
through the paper hoops. We gripped
the red cloth in front Of us. and our
souls sped round and round with CO.

Reservoirs of the Upper River.

Harper's Weekly devotes q page of
illustrations and . page and half
Of descriptive matter to THE Great
Reservoir System Of the Upper Mis-
sissippi." The article is written by
w. s. Harwood and the drawings are
by Harry Fem. The latter embrace
various views of scenes, incidents
and surroundings, about the head
waters Of the Mississippi. The arti-
Gle deals with the reservoirs, their
sites, their objects and their utility,
and refers to tkem as constituting
one Of the most interesting of mod
ern engineering enterprises. In an
explanatory way, it is said that

Of the wonderful boon to commerce
