Earthquakes and Extra Tides.

which required his presence at Al

there are two land drains which COM

they are very near together they go

a descendant of one of the Dutchmen
or Flemings who came over in the
seventeenth century for the purpose
of draining the level of Hatfield Chace.
My father described him to me as a
very intelligent and trustworthy old
man, and one who. had accumulated
a large stock Of knowledge relating to
the tides, the weather and other natural
phenomena. During a chat with him
on this occasion Egar asked if any
thing had appeared in the newspapers
concerning a recent earthquake. My
father said he had not heard of any
thing of the kind. "Well,'' replied
Egar, II wish you would inquire about

The tide was only little one, but it
was very clear to tell. Many other
folks here saw it as we'll as me-" And
then he went on to say that his father,
whom he had succeeded in the guar
dianship of these sluices, had told him
that similar thing occurred at the
time of the great Lisbon earthquake,
but on that occasion the unexpected
tide was larger and more powerful
than the one he had recently witnessed

in bed yesterday afternoon when a

ach, at the seat of his pain, and sent
a bullet into his vitals.

A Story About Beecher.


A new story Of Henry Ward Beecher
was told recently at a Plymouth
Church prayer meeting by DR.. E. K.
Cressey of Brooklyn Hills, Long Island
1t was story Of Dr. Cressey's boy
hood. One day his mother left the
house, cautioning him and his brothers
that they must be quiet and not romp
while she was gone. There was a
hairbrush with which Mrs. Cressey was
wont to punish violations of the domes-
tic statutes when any such occurred in
her well-ordered household, and the
youngsters promised to be good and re-
mained still as mice. Presently Mr..
Beecher arrived to make call on the
Cresseys, and found no one to receive
him but demure-looking boys. A flash
of anticipation came into his eyes as
he joyously told his young hosts to pre-
pare for the romp of their lives.
But mamma told US we musn t
romp" protested the future doctor of
philosophy.
"I'll take all the responsibility" re-
piled the great preacher.
When Mrs. Cressey neared the house
on her return she heard indications of a
small riot. Filled with Indignation at
this unheard-o of rebellion in her quiet
little republic, she rushed into the
house, with words of stern rebuke
trembling on her tongue. At the door
she paused petrif1ed. Henry Ward
Beecher was fiat on his back on the
floor, with a parcel of young Indians
apparently dancing a ghost dance on
his PROSTATE form and emitting shrill
yells. The appearance of the avenger
instantly froze all the rebels into silent
CONSERVATION except the arch insur-
gent. Climbing to his feet the una
dashed clergyman said:
Mrs. Cressey I promised my friends
here to take all the responsibility for
this outbreak, and (here he reached for
the hairbrush and presented it to her
with a Chesterfieldian bow I am ready
to take whatever is due them. You may
begin at once"
But for once there was an infraction
of the laws in the Cressey household
that was not punished. Mr.. Beecher
went unspanked-Baltimor Herald.

people who imagine that animals
haven't got feelings don't know what they
are talking about" said The Yellowstone
Park guide as he sat cleaning his rifle. Il
was cutting trail around one of the spout
in springs one day, and, gettin' warmed
up, threw my coat over the end OF a log:
By and by l went off to. hunt for drink OF
water, and it was perhaps half an hour
before l returned to my work.
when came up it was to see yhalin'
big mountain lion creepin' along to spring
on the coat 1t was over the log in way
to make it look like a man stoopin' down,
and the lion was nicely deceived. He
skulked up to within IS feet of the log,
crouched flat for a moment and laid ba <
his ears, and then he made two jumps OF 1t.
Creased lightnin' wasn't in il with that
crtter. 1t was like a big ball of fur shot
from n cannon, and as he flew he uttered a
screech which brought my hair on end.
II that coat had been a man he wouldn't
have had time to say gum. The lion lit
down on it with claws and teeth ready for
business, and in five seconds the garment
was cut into carpet rags.
Then he realized the cheat, and you
never saw human bein' look so foolish.
His tail went down to the earth, the fire
died out of his eyes, and he'd have given
$40 for some one to kick him up hill. His
chagrin was so plain that laughed right
out, and that broke his heart. He looked
at me and whimpered like a puppy, and
when / asked il his mother knew he was
out he fetched a sort of sob in his throat,
and sneaked off like a dog caught KILN
sheep. If | could have run fast enough to
have caught him by the tail he wouldn't
have even looked back He knew he had
made fool OF himself, and he wanted to
go Off and hide and have long think.
