in the park he would stock the place

A Wierd Sight.

A strange story OF mirage comes from
Mount Mansfield, the highest point OF
the Green Mountain range, twenty miles
from Burlington, Vt. A pleasure party
of four, consisting Of two men and their
wives, were caught in storms that met
on the summit. There was great clash
of lightning, wind and rain. One Of the
men was killed by thunderbolt and the
rest were burned and Frustrated. The
remaining man had barely strength
enough to wave his hand as a signal OF
distress. This gesture was reflected on a
cloud overhead and the people at the
hotel, half mile distant, were astouish-
ed TO see huge hand and arm moving
to and fro in the sky, far above the
mountain tops. But they knew OF the
absence of the party, guessed the cause
OF the mirage and sent out relief success
fully, The phenomenon was witnessed
by large number of well.known citiz ms
at the hotel.

A PuzZIlng Question.

How much help is good for a young
man is an uncertain problem. Some
times relative can start young fellow
where most other men are glad to leave
of, and he will keep right along and
make his mark. Others lack stamina
and moral backbone they will topple
over faster than father can set them up,
while the fellow without cent to start
with FORCES right ahead of them. To
realize that success must come from his
own effort has braced many a common
boy to great deeds, while many smart
fellow has been smothered into common
ness by the silver spoon with which be

In the Good Old DAVIS.

Some of the English sea captains of
the last century received immense sums
of prize money during the wars with
Spain and France. Commodore AndeT-
son in one cruise captured Spanish
vessels worth 100000, of which his
share was $359,O0O. Two years later
Capt. James Talbot realized 100000 for
himself in the twelve months. Capt.
Pownal's share from one Spanish treasure
ship in 1862 was S325,O00; his three
Lieutensnts received $4,000 each, and
$4,000 went to the Admiral and flag
officers who were on the station, though
not present at the capture. Those were
the days when Spanish ships were load
ed with treasure wrested from the
always unfortunate co lonists.

seen are OF the ancient type, flat rooted
houses, with streets narrow and dirty.
The houses are without pane Of glass,
and house is well furnished when it
contains bed and few chairs. Stoves
are an unknown piece of furniture, the
cooking being done on charcoal braizers.
Their baking is done in large stone ovens,
the whole community using the same
oven. The people are Of small stature
and vary in shades from white to the
blacklist, there seeming to be no color
lines. They seem to have no idea of
cleanliness. OF course there are a few
exceptions.
There are quite a number of French
in the towns, but seem to be of the lower

SOME DEFINITIONS.

Some school boys were asked to define
certain words, and to illustrate their
meaning. Here are few:
Frantic means wild; | picked some
frantic flowers.
Athletic, strong; the vinegar was too
athletic to use.
Tandem, one behind another; the boys
sit tandem at school.
Dust is mud with the wet squeezed
out; fins are fishes wings; circumference
is the distance around the middle of the
outside.
