Dog Days.

Well the first dog day has come and gore
and with it came the rain, meaning Of course
that for forty days and nights according to
the accepted theories Of weather conditions,
the windows Of the heavens will have pretty
large cracks in them If not totally open and
the fountain of the great deep will be open
ed. The meek and lowly toad will revel in
glory, and sixteen hundred and forty nine
chiIls will come to dwell in each Of the green
capsules that they call watermelSns. For
once we shall see by a personal observation
if the weather saw about It raining all days
nolds good, we shall chalk it on the wan
each day and find out if there is any truth IN
the matter.

prise, and, though there came no news of him, it cannot be said that Canaan did not hear of him, for surely it could hear itself talk. The death of Jonas Tabor and young Louden's crime and flight melted high doings in the National House windows. Many days the sages fingered with the broken meats of morsels left over from the banquet of gossip.
 Very little of Joseph's adventures and occupations during the time of his wandering is revealed to us; he always had an unwilling memory for pain and was not afterward wont to speak of those years which cut the hard lines in his face. The first account of him to reach Canaan came as directly to the windows of the National House as Mir. Arp, hastening thither from the station, satchel in hand, could bring it.
 This was on September morning two years after the flight, and Eskew. 1t appears, had been to the state fair and had beheld many things strangely affirming his constant testimony that this unhappy world increaseth in sin; strangest of all, his meeting with our vagrant scalawag of Canaan. Not a blame bit of doubt about it." declared Eskew to the lncredulous conclave. There was that Joe, and nobody else, stuck up in little box outside a tent at the fair grounds and sellin' tickets

"There wds that Joe, and nobody else,

"There wds that Joe, and nobody else,
 stuck up tn little boz outside q tent" to see the Spotted Wild Boy" Yes, it was Joe Louden! Think you Mir. Arp could forget that face. those crooked eyebrows? Had Eskew tested the rec ognition? Had he spoken with the outcast? Had he not. Aye, but with such peculiar result that the battle of words among the sages began with a true onset of the regulars. for, accord ing to Eskew's narrative. when he had delivered grimly at the boy this charge, T know you-you're Joe Louden!" the extraordinary reply had been made promptly and without change of coun- tenance, Positively no free seats"
 whats the matter with you?" Mir. Arp whirled upon Uncle Joe Davey, who was enjoying himself by repeating at intervals the unreasonable words, Couldn't of ben Joe" without any explanation. "why couldn't itg' shout ed Eskew. "It was! Do you think my eyes are as fur gone as yours? 1 saw him, I tell you. What's more, that boy Joe Fl turn up here again some day. You'll see if he don't. He's a seed of trouble and iniquity, and anything of that kind Is sure to come back to Ca. naanw
 Mir. Arp stuck to his prediction for several months. Then he began to waver and evade. By tae end of the second year following it's first utter ance he had formed the habit of deny ing that he had ever made it at all and, finally having come to believe with all his heart that the prophecy had been deliberately foisted upon him and put in his mouth by Squire Buckalew, be. came so sore upon the subject that even the hardest dared not refer to il in His presence.
 Eskew's story of the ticket seller was the only news of Joe Louden that came to Canaan during seven years. Anoth CT citizen of the town encountered the wanderer, however. but under circum. stances SO susceptible to misconception that in a moment of illumination he de cided to let the matter rest in golden silence. This was NIT. Bantry. and the cause of his silence was the fact that his meeting with Joe occurred in the Straw Cellar" a tough New York re sort. in which neither of them should have been.

SCHOOL FOR COLONIAL wIvEs.
Some Such institution Needed, eayo
 English Writer.

The colonial man is not surprised that the home man does not marry. He thinks less and less each year of coming home for wife himself. Or he comes home full of hope and glad. ness, with a nice little round sum saved for the furnishing and beautify- ing of a certain colonial home that only awaits the woman to make 1t his paradise-to go back . little sadder. a little wiser, with lonely feeling that probably there will be no homo in the real sense to the end. because there are not enough of the right sort to go round. And whose Is the faultf It is the mother, who. half-oonsctous- ly and half-unconsciously, instills In her girls that 1t is fatal to marry . poor man and appear failure in tho eyes of her friends? Is 1t an unworthy spirit, fostered in boarding schools. that success lies solely In marrying a well-to-do man? Is this why so many capable. misguided girls wait for the well-to-do man who never comes. only to be more or less burdensome spinsters to the end? One almost wishes there could be schools for colonial wives. There is such an i'm mense satisfaction to be gained ont of those "artful contrivances" for comfort which is immeasurahly su- perior to the satisfaction of squeez- ing silk lining out of very limited allowance. and. after much anxiouD thought. renovsting last years hat to look Ike a new one.

saries. and tent. By riding hard we did the journey in a day and a.half. and immediately set to work to make our preparations, so that we were able to start back the following morn- ing, preceded by two pack-horses.
 Early next morning we were again afIoat. and after padding across the lagoon. a distance of perhaps g couple of miles, was landed on the back of one of the islands and left alone with the pelicans for six hours. By not marrying. them and moving quietly and slowly there was no great difficulty In gradually approaching them. They soon seemed to recognize. as do most birds if treated judiciously. that there was no danger, and after g while was working away within F yards or 15 yards without causing them any
 undue alarm. At last was within
 reach of these great birds which had
 eluded me so long, and could watch them solemnly sitting on their nests
 and feeding their half-grown young.
 These young were curious objects, as
 big as geese, covered with short dir
 ty white down, with leadencolored
 feet and beaks, and small pouches of
 the same dull color. There wore many
 bigger ones swimming about nearly as large as their parents. Walking
 about among the pelicans in the most familiar and impudent manner were
 several hooded crows and Mediterran-
 can herring-gulls. The fishermen told us that the eagles SeQuently came to eat the young pelicans; and hard by the nearly.devoured carcass of half! grown pelican we picked up the flight feather of an imperial eagle. These | fishermen. might naturally be expected to look upon the pelicans as rivals in | business; insfact, had been told that Turkish fishermen destroy the eggs and nesta whenever they can. But
 we found on the contrary. to our sur prise, that they had sort of supersti.
 tious regard or reverence for them.
 and were most unwilling to have any of them injured or killed.

THROUGH ID BOSTON
NEW RAILWAY CONNECTIONS
 WILL MEAN MUCH TO HUB.
Trains From New Jsrssy and All Points South Will Make Through Run, With New York as
 Way etatlon.

Railway developments in the east in the near future promise to make of New York way station and elevate Boston to the distinction of terminal point for all trains from the west and south. When the connecting links are all completed the traveller from Bos- ton to Chicago. St. Louis. Denver. Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle Tn the far northwest will go direct with out having to be ferried. or driven in cab. or carried by trolley, through New York. New York is simply to be a way station at which traveller may stop if he will. but to which he will have to change cars should he take a through train from Boston to the west.
 This vast change in the transporta- ton relations of New England and the southern and western portions of the country result from the agreement now entered into after four years of negotiation.
 By this agreement the New York, New Haven & Hartford and the Penn sylvania railroads are permitted to own and operate jointly a railroad from a point at the Harlem river be- low Port Morris, across the East river at Wards island to Long Island City and thence by tunnel under New York to Jersey City and the south and west This arrangement assures the build- ing of the Connecting railroad.
 It makes New York city way sta ton. and trains to the south and west will pay the metropolis only the cour- tesy of a few minutes stop.
 The change in route will save the time now lost in ferrying south and west bound passengers from Harlem down the East river into the Hudson to Jersey City or carrying them to the Grand Central station at Forty-second street, New York, and thence taking them by cab or electrics to the fer ries.
 While the stock of the Connecting railway is owned in equal shares by the Pennsylvania and the New Haven road it was undertaken as part of the Pennsylvania Improvements. The new road is to cover about II miles, running from the New Haven terminal at Port Morris. on the Bronx shore, over the bridge at Wards and Randall's islands, and across Queens
