day afternoon of pneumonia. He was
the general librarian of the university
from 1854 until 1856. In 1859 he en-.
tered the law department and two
years later was given his diploma. He
was a well educated man, but in some
way did not have the faculty of max.
ing his talents appreciated by the gen.
eral public and his law practice was
not brilliant success.
In 1882 he was given the position OF
law librarian, which he has held ever
since. He had very retentive mem.
DRY and probably had as many cita.
tions at his immediate command as
any man in Michigan. Many an at
torney has been helped to win a case
by making a statement of facts to Ii.
brarian Vance, who furnished decis.
ions in various states bearing upon the
points in question. His accommodate.
ing way with the students made him
a popular official.

His mother gave pat where his lit
tie ear showed pink between the grass

the blue, blue sky was high above their
heads.
"The warm, soft wind that rings our

Bweet music in the grass will turn to
cold and bitter blasts that will blow
the leaves about, and then the bells
will wither one by one and fall away,
and the grasses will turn quite dull and
dry and rub against each other with a
shrill and fearsome sound as the wind
sweeps up along the hedge bottom"
AT that the little mouse, whose ear
was tingling still, felt frightened, and
he quivered while his mother talked
and wondered what would come of it.
She knew just how he felt, and now
she gave him comfort and advice about
the future, and she told them all what
they must do. "For," said she, ''the
winter is too great and strong for tiny
creatures like ourselves, and so while
the big world and the hedge bottom are
bearing the cold weather we may sleep
quite peacefully, each in tiny hole,
until the winter time is over and the
summer comes again. You must seek
your holes when the right time comes
and then be sure to curl your tails well
in to keep them from the frost"
They all squeaked little promise to
remember what she said and not think
they knew better, and then they whis-
pered softly to each other of the great
world and the sky and the winter time
and how quite soon they should be

long, stiff grass in the hedge bottom
rather than the corn in the fieldr'
"Yes," said he; 1--WE did well to choose
the hedge bottom" And with that he
ran about the nest and counted his
eight children anxiously and scolded
them little and then went a-hunting
for his supper till by and by the quiet
night came down and settled on the lit

The Chinese Flee From Rain.

1t is one of the peculiarities of the
Chinese to carefully avoid beins
caught in the rain. The chief reason
ton that drops of rain falling on the
hair breed vermin, which, with their
very long hair, is very difficult for
them to get rid of. They are, however,
equally careful not to wet their feet.
Their care Of their feet is not alto
gether due to the fact that the soles
of their shoes are made of pasteboard
and liable to be injured by soaking,
but also because they believe that sore
feet are brought about by getting them
damp.
This fear of the Chinese of rain
storms has had a peculiar effect on
their mobs and armies. At the time

hind them was in flames, and the mob,
fresh from the torture of nuns, was
hungry for blood. 1t started down

and the beating Of drums and gongs,
when suddenly it began to rain. That
was the end of the massacre. The
