RIack Rain.

The first case of black rain which comes under review occurred at Gra- hamstown and the surrounding dis trict in August, 1888, and 1t extended over an area of no less than 360 square miles, says Chambers Journal. Since then there have happened several showers of a similar description, but less pronounced in their sable charac- ter. Other showers of black rain have been recorded in Ireland, one of which was felt over an area of 400 square miles.
 No one seems to have microscopfcally examined the water which fell at Ora hamstown, but it was noted that the liquid gradually cleared when placed in a suitable vessel, and black pre- cipitate fell from it. In the latter cases referred to the deposit has been care fully examined and was found to con- sist of microscopic organisms, which averaged about the twelve thousand five hundredth part of an inch In length, and which were identified with the same fungoid organisms that are responsible for blight in the plants which they infest and subsequently for smut, mildew and rust in wheat and barley.
 The writer sums up his remarks thus: Humidity is known to contrib ute largely to the copious production of fungi, and during protracted drought the regions affected thereby will re main comparatively bare of fungi, but during the seasons of frequent rain falls the production of fungoid vege tation is largely increased"

His Roun dabOut Way.

A man was going home to his wife and family. It was growing dark. His road from the station was a lonely one, and he was getting along as fast as he could when he suddenly suspect ed that a man behind him was follow ing him purposely. The faster he went the faster the man went until they came to a graveyard.
 Now" he said to himself, "I'll find if he's after me-" And he entered the churchyard.
 The man followed him. Vague visions of revolvers and garroters grew upon him. He made a detour of a splendid mausoleum. Still the man was after him, round and round.
 At last he turned and faced the fel- low and asked: What the dickens do you want? What are you following me for?"
 "Well, sir, do you always go home like this? am going up to MT. Browns house with a parcel, and the porter at the station told me that if I'd follow you I should find the place, as you live next door. Are you going home at all tonight t?''-Columbian.

Going by the Eye.

Unless one has some other sort of knowledge to contradict it it is natural to accept the evidence of the eye Therefore the answer which a teacher recently received from her class of small children was not altogether sur prising.
 (Which is farther away" she asked, England or the moon?'
 "Englandw the children answered quickly.
 "England?' she questioned. What makes you think that?'
 "'Cause we can see the moon, and we can't see England," answered one of the brightest of the class.-Youth's Companion.

Black Goats.

An English clergyman, rather pom pous of manner, according to Spare Moments, was fond of chatting with a witty chimney sweep.
 Once, when the minister returned from his summer holidays, he happen ed to meet his youthful acquaintance, who seemed to have been at work.
 Where have you been?" asked the clergyman.
 Sweeping the chimneys at the vic arage," was the boys answer. How many chimneys are there, and how much do you get for each" was the next question. The sweep said there were 20 chim. neys and that he was paid a shilling apiece.
 The clergyman, after thinking a mo- ment, looked at the sweep in apparent astonishment. "You have earned 8 great deal of money in little time, '' he remarked solemnly, wondering, probably, what the sooty fellow would reply.
 "Yes," said the sweep, throwing his bag over his shoulder as he started away. "We who wear black coats get our money very easilyP' Poison Ivy.

Took Back the Guns,

Schwartz's battery, which was entirely composed of Germans, was one of the bravest bodies of troops in the whole ar my. At the battle of Shiloh one of Schwartz's officers rode up to General Grant and said:
 'Cheneral, wants to make ein report once"
 Well, what is it ?" said Grant.
 "Schwartz's battery was took" replied the officer.
 "How did it happen?' asked General Grant.
 "Vell, you see, cheneral, dose rebels was behind us und in front of us und both sides of us, und Schwartz's battery was took"
 Of course you spiked the guns so that they would be of no use to the rebels, '' said General Grant.
 "Nat, schpike dem new gunsT' said the Dutchman. ''Dot would schpoil dem."
 "Wen, what did you do?" asked Gen eral Grant sharply.
 ''Do?" said the Dutchman. "Vy, we took dem back already."-Buffalo Ex- nreSS.

Archibald FOrbes' Experience With
 COlOred Cabman.

Archibald Forbes Experience With
 a COlored Cabman.
 There is d delightfully."- human story which Archibald Forbes, the famous war correspondent, told, rather at his own expense, of his qualification at the apparent desire of the man and brother" for higher intellectual cul- ture. On arriving at the station at West Chester, Pa., where he was to lecture, a colored cabman, it is said, offered his services to convey him to his hotel. When he got there, MT. Forbes asked the extent of remunera- ton expected for the journey. The darky replied:
 "Well, sah, if you'd jes' give me a ticket to de lectur', sah, I should be right glad"
 This unusual request from a cabman struck him not only as singular and laudable, but as quite complimentary to him, so he said:
 "Certa .Iiy. And haven't you got a missis?'
 "Oh, yes, sah; I'se got missisy'
 'Well, you shall have one for her."
 And he requested his agent to hand to the knowledge seeker the requisite passes for the entertainment. On reaching the lecture room he cast a glance over the audience to see his col ored friend, but he had not arrived, nor did he put in an appearance. Next morning, on getting into the same mans vehicle to go to the station, Mr. Forbes said:
 'I didn't see you at the lecture last night"
 "No, sah; we' not dar." "But, you know, I gave you tickets for yourself and wife,
 "Yes, sah; I know that, sah, but you see, sah, jes' sold dem tickets for S1 sah, 'cause I'd rather hab de cash sah." h."-Philadelphia Call.

St. Helena.

St. Helena is a great place for caves and hills. Both abound, particularly the latter. Geologically speaking, the island is largely, if not wholly, vol canic, and a lot of extinct craters are apparent. Some of the pinnacles have queer names, such as Lots Wife, the Man and the Horse, the Asses Ears, Holdfast Tom, Old Joan Point, Stone Top, etc.
 The only inhabited place is James town, which has population of about 2,5OO. It lies in a deep valley sur rounded by very high hills. It is not a particularly healthy place. Ladder hill is where the government house is situated. It is so called because of the almost precipitous ladderlike wooden stairs, by which it's acclivity of 600 feet has to be scaled.
 Nearly four miles inland from James town is an isolated farmhouse, on an elevated plateau about 2,O00 feet above the sea. This is Longwood, where Na- poleon lived from 1915 until he died there, in 1921. The house is a long, low, whitewashed, fairly trim building, with extensive outhouses, some rather fine old trees and good bit of decent farm land.

THE WIND AT THE DOOR.
Often to my door

Often to my door Comes twilight visitor. When the mountain summer day From our valley takes his way, And the journeying shadows stride Over the green mountain side, Down the clove among the trees Moves the ghostly wandering breez& With the first stars on the crest And the pale light in the west He comes up the dark ravine Where no traveller is seen. Yet his coming makes stir In the house of Ash and Fir. Master, is't in our abode You will tarry on the road?' May, like your roof tree wells But with you may not dwell.'' Birches whisper at their sill As he passes up the hill, Stranger, underneath our boughs There is ample room to house." Friends, have another quest Than your cool abiding rest.'' And the huttering Aspen knows Whose step by her doorway goes "Honor, lord, thy silver tree And the chamber laid for thee.'s "Nay; l must be faring on, For tonight 1 seek my own. |. Breath of the red dust is he -. And a wayfarer like me; Here a moment and then lost On trail confused and crossed. And gently would surprise Recognition in his eyes; Touch his hand and talk with him When the forest light is dim, Taking counsel with the lord Of the utterable word.'' Hark, did you hear some one try The west window furtively And then move among the leaves In the shadow of the caves? The reed curtain at the door Rustled; there's my visitor Vino comes searching for his kin. ''Enter, brother, Pm within"

Hymn.

Comrades, come with rev'rent tread Where our fallen heroes lie; In this ''City of the Dead"
 They, unseen, may hover nigh. Years and years have rolled away, Peace has blessed our sacred land; Living heroes, old and gray,
 Gather still, a loyal band. Heart and hand once more we pledge To maintain our country's laws, Life or death a privilege
 Held for freedoms holy cause. Ceasing not to mourn for you,
 Noble, brave and early lostl We rejoice ye proved so true,
 Even at your lifeblood's costl Ivy wreaths and flowers may tell
 Of our pure, unchanging love, While sweet hopes within us dwell Of our meeting time above.
