bad enterprises.
McCurdy said for the large loans

A Queer Express.

Not many years ago, on the high
roads about Wlttenberg. In Germany,
travellers frequently met an old woman
trudglng slowly along, pushing before
her a light wheelbarrow loaded with
bundles and parcels The old woman
was at least sixty, but she was so
cheerful and uneomplaining that the
people had no hesitation in employing
her She had many knickknacks and
parcels to carry to and from the city,
into which three or four times a week
she pushed her barrow, which folks
called the "Wittenberg express" This
plucky old woman walked with her ex-
press wheelbarrow at least ten miles
each trip and her earnings, small fee
for each parcel. served to support her
self and her two invalid daughters, who
could do only little sewing. The old
woman would allow no one to pity her.
She liked the work, she said, and was
only sorry that as she grew older she
could not make such frequent trips, for
her earnings were helping herself and
her children.-St. Nicholas.

HOMES OF THE SWISS.


swiss houses impress one almost in
variably with a sense of loneliness.
Probably this may be attributed to the
contrast they present to their surround
fngs. They are commonly dwarfed in
10 insignificance by the gigantic seen
cry in which they have been placed.
But near at hand they are decidedly
pretty. although their architectural
style is distinct from any other.
They are rarely painted and seldom
ornamented or embeIlished, save that
the boards and shingles are not infre-
quently Gu. and scalloped into odd
shapes. Sometimes the front of a
chalet bears the owners or builders
name in large letters. followed by a
sentiment a benediction or n prayer.
These chalets are provided with over

Many years ago kissing was the most

sidered an evidence of the closest init

where to shake their hands would have

any part of the British isles women
touched their hats. as do the women of
Cortina, a little town perched on a
lofty peak of the Dolomite Alps. The
women of this quaint town touch their
hats like men on meeting an acquaint-

 social gathering in honor of the birthday of Lynden Reynolds was given Saturday evening at the home of Mir. Clyde Reynolds. A very enjoyable evening was spent in games and harm less frolic, after which the birthday cake was cut and served to the delight of all.
 It is reported that the overflow in the fiat lands west of Blue lake has cut chan nels and changed the course of New river for several miles, the main chan nel now being discharged through Bull head slough. If this is true it will necessitate more bridges on the San Diego road.
 The rapid fall in the volume of water now flowing in New river seems to be very slow in making itself felt in the Blue Lake neigh borhood. The overflow still covers all the land south of Elder No. 13 and for considerable distance south of New river, no doubt being more than a mile wide yet.
 Mir. and Mrs. Orrick, who were driven out from their home last February bv the overflow, and whose land has been under water ever since, made trip to their place last Sunday to see how mat ters were progressing. They had hoped to find their land uncovered and be able to move back home. In this they were disappointed as their land is still cov- cred with water, so their visit was boat ride and nothing more.
