A lad III one of the London board
schools was found guilty of serious in
fraction of discipline and was directed
by his teacher to tell his mother when
he got home what misdemeanor he had
committed.
The next morning the schoolmistresS
called Johnnie to her desk, when the fol
lowing dialogue ensued:
well, Master Johnnie, did you in
form your mother what refraction OF
discipline you We're guilty of yesterday
and the reprimand and punishment you
received?"

"When | was very young man, before

with a series of misfortunes and was
nearly discouraged One day was seat

to see standing before me and contem-

A WlNTRY LANDSCAPE.

Not summers self was ever half go fair
As this white winter wrapped in ermine
fleece,
royal silence brooding everywhere
And all the world a voiceless dream Of peace
Amber and opal, fantest pearl and rose
Orange and purple in the sunset sky;
In fiery hues the wide west flames and CLOVIS,
Nor fades till stars are shining out on high.
Ger steel blue lakes the sheen is bright like
mail,
The trees in naked beauty lift their limbs
The wind Is hushed that erst did sob and wall
Softer its tones than mothers cradle hymns
Strange, silent winter, fair beyond belief,
White robed and fair and dreamy as the night
Forgetting pain and care and Joy and grief,
Creeps soleInnly apace and shrouds the light

The Bicycle Fiend.

Zone most obtrusiye unpleasantness
in the conversation of the bicycle fiend, "
observed nonbicyclist, sis his habit of
personally appropriating every part and
particle of his machine. 1t is apparently
not enough that he should possess the
bicycle in its entirety, but also in de-
tail. My wheel, when uttered two or
three times 10 every sentence, is bad
enough, but when it comes to my sad
die, my tires, my valves, my han
die bar and SO FORTH the effect is both
irritat. ng and irrational. l once heard
a man discourse for hours upon my in
ner tube. Being then not so erudite
upon the thing az AN now, had the
greatest difficulty in determining what
he meant From the viewpoint of hitn
who does not ride, the possessive ease is
nowhere so oyerworked as in the con
yersation of the bicycle fiend. New

In one eolliery not half IL dozen miles
from the gold mines have seen IA seam
of coal 70 feet in thickness. This coal,
though of low quality, suffices for the
purposes of the gold mines, and there
is sufficient quantity of it to outlast
far the lives of all the gold miners. Be
sides these coal deposits near the gold
fields and those others by the Naal riv-
er, which furnish coal for the railway
system far down into Cape Colony,
there are literally hundreds, perhaps
even thousand, square miles of coal in
the Middleberg and Ermelo districts ly-
ing between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay.
In the midst of these coal beds is the
outcrop of iron ore, and running
through them is the lately constructed
railway to Delagoa Bay. With these
vast coalfields close to first rate port
, on the Indian ocean the prospects of the
coal mining industry seem brilliant -
