that his balance wheel is off the
center.
"Jim," the otter, while in St. Paul,
enrouted to the east, slipped his
collar and wandered off. It is prob
able some one has got him, as he
was quite tame.
r A M1sTAKE.-It is erroneous to sup

below zero, yesterday morning. AS

NosEAToMY Now, laugh if you
want 10, but what other name can
you give that science by which we
are enabled to recognize each other
this weather. Although our noses are
the only visible portions of ou
features outside the heavy wraps, |
yet, we seldom fail to recognize one
another, and mistakes are few and |
far between. What study is opened |
