Hasty Inferences.

According to a recent book entitled
COMBINATIONS" there was once rather
obscure Englishman, who, after being
converted, read his Bible so assiduous-
iy-in preference to London news
paper-that his wife became concerned
for his sanity, and he was subsequently,
examined by n specialist in lunacy,
with funny and pathetic result. The
doctors first questions were ''feelers.'
Il mean," said he. at length, slowly
and very impressively, do you see
things that other people do not see:"
Alas, yes.' was the patients reply.
Il see Folly stalking on 'obby 'orse."
DO you, really? Anything else|
asked the doctor, making a note of the
fact.
Il see Wickedness and Vice beating
the land with their wings"
Sees things beating with their
wings" wrote down the doctor.
Il see misery and un'appiness every
where"
'Indeedr' said the doctor. Has delu-.
sions. Do you think your wife puts
things in your tea:"
"Yes."
"Ah" thought the doctor. THAT'S.
what l wanted to get at-thinks people
are trying to poison him. What is it
they put in, my MANI
milk and sugar." answered the pa
tient.
"Umr' said the specialist. Then he
wrote, Very dull mentally"

autumn overflow of the Yana, and
which in winter forms a frozen prom
enade or driving place for sleds. 1t is
a dreary place enough. The summer
lasts only four months, and during the
other eight of the year 1t is bitterly
cold: the thermometer sometimes indi-
Gates Sc degrees below zero and seldom
goes above so degrees until April 80.
Corn will not grow In this desolate
region. Barley and oats have been
sown, but have always succumbed TO

are only the radish and the turnip.

Remarkable Cases OF Salvage

a remarkable case of salvage is that
Of the steamship Milwaukee, which
last autumn went ashore at Port En-
rOl, near Peterhead. Finding it impos-
hlble TO float her, as large part of
Aer fore end was ineXtricably jammed,
she was cut in two with belts O; dyna-
mite cartridges. The after part, eX-
tending from just before the forward
end of the navigating bridge, was tow
ed to the Tyne and moored in that
river until new bow end was built,
launched, and made ready for connec-
ton to it, 1t is remarkable that this
part Of the vessel was tOwed with the
Dulkhead end foremost, and that the
tugboats were assisted by the ships
