PAIn FOR THE BATHS.
An Exciting Hotel Incident In Bss
Harbor's Enrly Dnys.

'1n the prehistoric days at Bar Har-
bor," said Boston man, before the
dress suit had cast its blighting shadow
there and when Rodick's and the fish
pond were the center Of all the gayety,
life was pleasant, even though many of
the conveniences which we now demand
were wholly lacking. Rodick's was a
barn Of place, with no elevator and in
nocent of electric bells. One man in i'm
minent need of ice water once obtained
it, however, by going into the hall and
yelling Murder! at the top of his lungs.
He gathered together most of the hotel
guests and finally got the ice water Of
his souls desire, but his success did not
seem to establish precedent.
1.-The fire department was, so to speak,
In embryo. In the Rodick at the head of
each stairway there used to stand large
hogshead of water for use in an emer-
gency. and thereby hangs the tale am
about to tell you.
Late Of an evening there entered the
deserted 'ishpond' young man whose
fixed and CLASSY eye and wandering
smile betrayed what his evenings occu-
patton had been. In order to settle any
lingering doubt as to his condition, how

a hasty and emphatic protest from the
night clerk, who, on advancing upon the
inebriated one, was promptly laid low by

angry array promptly went to the succor
of the night clerk, whereat his assailant
retreated up stairs, closely followed by
his pursuers.
Reaching the landing, he espied the
hogshead of water, which he promptly
heaved down the stairway upon his op-
ponents. who. drenched by the water and
carried off their feet by the butt itself,
in wild state of rage renewed the at
tack, only to be treated to the same dose
on the second fight of stairs andyet again
on the third, at which point, his ammuni-
ton being exhausted, they captured and
got even with the beliigerent one.

With no one sight that we have seen beforel

And fragranccs so sweet the soul may faint.
Alonel Oh, that first hour Of being a saintl
Alonef No. God hath been there long before
Eternally hath waited on that shore
For US who were to come
To our eternal home, &
And he hath taught his angels to prepare
In what way we are to be welcomed there.
Alone? The God we trust is on that shore.
The faithful One whom have trusted more
In trials and in

On whom we leaned most in our earthly strife
Oh, we shall trust him more in that new lifel
So not alone we land upon that shore;

We shall meet more we know
Than meet below
And find our rest like some returning dove
And be at home at once with our eternal Lowell

All Fools Day.

April fools day is the octave of, or
eighth day after, March %. the old New
Years day. 1t was the last day of the
new year festivities, when much license
was allowed. The tricks and practical
Jokes of the day are said TO have their
origin in the way Christ was sent from
the high priest to the procurator and
back again before his crucifxion, but as
the Hindoos have similar customs at
their festival of March 81 (HulD the pro-
posed origin is almost certainly incorrect.

Men Killed >wfthoIt wounds.

At the battle Of Sedan, in the Franco.
German war, one man was picked up
whose achilles tendon-the strong tendon
which runs down to the heel-was torn in
two, but who had not any sign on his
skin of having been hit. A big piece of
shell broke another mans leg, but did not
even raise a blush ON his skin. Another
soldier had his skull broken into a dozen
pieces, but the scalp was quite uninjured.
And the whole shoulder of another was
simply pulverized. yet the skin over it
had neither scratch nor bruise.
When shell glides along over the
heart, liver, stomach or any other inter
nal organ, it bruises and tears it, causing
instant death, but the most powerful mi
croscope would not reveal a trace Of dam
age to the skin.

A Curious Decoration.

The monks at the hospital of ST. Jean
de Dieu at Client have in their leisure
moments decorated the walls with g0r-
geous landscapes glowing with color and
full Of life which are formed entirely by
means of the postage stamps of all the
nations of the world. Palaces, forests,
streams and mountains are represented,
butterflies fit about in the air, birds of
beautiful plumage perch on branches.
snakes and lizards glide about, and in
Vulnerable animals find places here and
there. The pictures are most artistic, in
the style Of Chinese landscape gardening,
and already between 100000 and TO-.
QOQ. 900 stamps have been used.

Sometimes intuitions akin to genius
present themselves to the humblest
minds.
An ancient African, wearing the frock
coat, spectacles, battered plug hat and
beaming and placid countenance of the
wandering negro minstrel, sat in the gal
lery of the Stock Exchange the other
day placidly surveying the bowling null
titude.
A broker was one of the first to spy
him. He was one Of that large and repre-
sentative class of individuals who can
not see black face pass without making
facctious remarks. He promptly waved
his hand.
"Howdy, unclew he greeted him cheer
lily.
Uncle beamed blandly through his spec
tacles, but made no sign of recognition.
"Uncle, Uncle, l say" shouted the
facetious man of the floor.
"Oh, this is rich," he exclaimed, seiz-
ing one friend and then another. isn't
uncle a winner" Soon a dozen lusty
voiced brokers lined up, and with heads
thrown back they sang for the gratihca-
ton of the solitary guest in the gallery
"Old Black Joe"
A hundred brokers turned to listen. 1t
was pretty good singing, and they ap-
plauded and watched uncle. The latter
looked placidly through his spectacles
without any particular sign of enhanced
interest.
whats the old scoundrel going to
do?' queried the choristers perplexedly
of their leader.
HE don't even notice u.s." they COM
planned.
At this point uncle arose and stepped
to the rail. Out of his trousers pocket he
produced an old fashioned copper cent.
Tossing it easily to the glee club of bro
kers he resumed his seat and beamcd
upon them.
There was n roar of derision from the
floor of the exchange. the quartet broke
up in palpable embarrassment and the
facetious broker swore fervently.
But I'd give anything to get that old
fellows point of view" he confessed, as
he repeated the story that evening.-New
