snow From a Clear Sky.

The most wonderful snowstorms Of
all that may be seen every winter in
the Adirondacks are those that prevail
when the sky is cloudless. OF these
there are several varieties. Every week
or two we would see what looked like
q fog form about the distant hills and
then come drifting across the creek
valley. Doubtless it was a real snow
laden cloud that had been drifting
along until it struck our level Q,3OO
feet above the seal in the Adirondacks,
when the conditions became favorable
for the release of it's feathery burden.
We saw these clouds fill the air with
fakes that were driven along almost
horizontally by a strong gale although
the tops Of our old hemlocks and
spruces rose into the clear air and I'M
DISTRACTED sunlight above the highest
level Of the snow producing air STRAIT
UNI. We even saw the snow so thick
in the air about us that the trunks of
trees six feet above the earth were
not visible although the treetops could
be seen, and the sun shone down
through the shallow storm with
strength enough to cast distinct shad-
ows.
We have stood on quiet, sunlit hill
top and locked down into valley less
than 100 feet below us, where snow
storm was raging with violence and
the temperature was frigid. = Scrib-
ner's.

curious books that had apparently

there was unbroken testimony Of a

After this survey was made con-

settlement. Lately Judge Deemer of
this court stated that his opinion of
this survey was the same as our sur
veyor, Mr.. Wattles, which has been
decided as true and correct one. Mr..
Wattles is man that can at all times

PiHer Legeuda.

The Wends, who. we believe, are the
ancestors Of the modern Prussians, are
the center of many legends. The Pied
Piper of Hamelin was Wend; SO also
was the piper Of the Harz mountains,
who appeared so many days year and
played unearthly tunes and whatsoever
heard at once fell into frenzy, from
which there was no escaping. All these
pied and weird pipers assembled once a
year at the Broken, where there was a
general carnival, the arch fiend lead
ing the concert on violin, witches
rolling around and fddling on the
skulls of horses and the pipers adding
the concert of their unholy instru-
ments.-Chambers Journal.
