preDared For the Worst.

Mr. Browns enemies say that there
is nothing else in the world he enjoys
so much as finding fault and putting
other people in the wrong. When en-
gagged in this pleasing occupation, he
loses all hold on a sense Of humor,
which is none too keen at other times.
Not long ago he and his wife were
taking a trip through the White noun
tains, and at one place they were to be
called at half past in the morning to
take an early train. Mr.. Brown wax
ened first and after a glance at his
watch fell back on his pillow with a
groan that frightened his wife out Of
her slumbers.
Here it is on the tick of half past
s." grumbled Mr.. Brown in response
to his wife's troubled questions, 'and
if they don't call us within five min
utes we shan't have time enough to
get dressed and eat breakfast. But it's
no more than 7 exnoatnd"

the high mountains, where the winter SHOWS having

mountains there is little water. The springs there
never have been led into troughs. and the cattle
trampng in them fill them with dirt and sediment,
and soon convert them into mud-hoes.

Uncle Sans people require-It would take thirty
of the suppOsitiOus hens just mentioned to do

Termites are not amiable animals They are utterly
regardless of the individual lives of members of their
communities. They always have, for instance,
number of females hanging about the nest, doing
nothing who have been fed up such condition

mother queen, be prepared to take her maJestys

places of much more singular character. They
