"RECoRD-UNION" sCRAP-BooK.
Two Specimens Of Poetic-Prose
From Mark Twain.

1t is not generally known that some
of Mark Twain's descriptive prose COM
pares favorably with that Of the
master word painters Of the world.
The following two examples are in
point, the first being a paragraph on
the death of Laura Hawkins, from
"The Gilded Age" and the second from
'Roughing It." wherein the author tells
of his love for Hawaii:
when the spring morning dawned,
the form still sat there, the elbows
resting upon the table and the face
upon the hands. All day long the fig
ure sat there the sunshine enriching
it's costly raiment, and flashing from its
jewels; twilight came, and presently
the stars, but still the figure re-
mained the moon found it there still,
and framed the picture with the shad
ow of the window sash, and flooded 1t
with mellow light; by and by the dark
ness swallowed it up, and later the
gray dawn revealed it again, and still
the forlorn presence was undisturbed."
The tribute to Hawaii is as follows:
mo alien land in all the world has
any deep, strong charm for me but that
one; no other land could so longingly
and beseechingly haunt me, sleeping
and waking, through half a lifetime,
as that one has done. Other things
leave me, but it abides; other things
change but it remains the same. For
me its balmy airs are always blowing,
its summer seas flashing in the sun;
the pulsing of it's surf-beat is in my
ear; I can see it's garlanded crags, it's
leaping cascades, it's plumy palms
browsing by the shore; it's remote sum-
mits floating like islands above the
cloud-rack; I can feel the spirit of
the woodland solitude; I can hear the
splash Of it's brooks; in my nostrils still
lives the breath of flowers that per-
ished twenty years ago."

The terms eight" moderate" or

euce to the character of the rain, rather
than the quantity, or the rate OF fall.
Considered in the latter sense however,
probably one to three tenths of an inch
per hour would be light rain. three 10
six tenths moderate, seven tenths TO one
inch heavy. and one inch or more, per

The average annual rainfall for Rich
