A Bridge OF COmns.

When the British forces were march.
ing to Pekin in 1860, after the capture
of the Taku Forts, one Of the rivers be-
came so swollen with the heavy rains
that it was rendered almost impass-
able While in this quandary a bright
idea struck one of the British officers.
Being well aware that the Chinese gen.
orally order their collins years in ad.
vance and keep them on the premises.
and also that they are perfectly air
tight he consulted with his brother
officers. with the result that orders
were given TO search all the houses of
the village. and collect every coffin
With the aid Of few empty casks. the
soldiers constructed a pontoon bridge
of coffins sufficiently strong to bear the
artillery, ana the river was thus passed
in safety.

FOLK soMo.

This Il the lore the old wife knows
Who sees the storm draw nigh.
And wind and cloud together close
The windows of the sky;
The north wind is mans wind,
Entangled with his fate;
In that he joyed, In that he sinned,
1t chants his love and hate.
The west wind is the angels wind,
He sweeps their Tyre strings;
And where the gray storm clouds are
thinned
We see their rushing wings.
''The east wind is the DEVILS wind,
And stinxs with fire and ice;
But the south wind is Gods wind,
And blows from paradise.
"And whence they 60 none mortal knows
Who hears them riding by;
We can but watch them as they close
The windows of the sky"

Look Out tor the Com m a..

Some boys and girls find 1t difficult
to learn the proper use of commas.
periods, semicOlOns and other punctua-
tiOn marks, and as a consequence are
apt to become discouraged and say:
''Oh, well. what's the use. anyway"
But when they see the absurdity of
some sentences whose meaning has
been totally changed by improL Ler
punctuation. they will perhaps become
imbued with new energy and resolve
TO stick to the little dots and dashes
until they are mastered. The example
herewith given was set up by an
English compositOr. Whether he pune
tuated as he did through ignorance or
pure righteousness IL would be hard to
say. Whichever it was. this Is the way
the paragraph read when the printer
got through with it:
Caesar entered on his head; his hel-
met on his feet: armed sandals upon his
brow: there was cloud in his right
hand: his faithful sword in his eye:
an angry glare saying nothing. he sat
down."
What the author really meant to say
was-well. you can easily find that out
for yourselves.
