THE CIRCUS FAMILY AT HOME.


After hours at the show to our home we
will go
For a family chat by ourselves
And we run up the stairs, doing nlphops
in pairs
with the ease of a number OF elves.
Uncle William is old; been performing
I'm told
Since the days Of the first tented shows:
But his pipe he will light with manner
so bright
And match that is held in his toes.
Grandmamma--ouce admired in the ring,
now retired
Waits for us in her own inglenook;
She is taking her ease on n flying trapeze
While perusing best selling book.
Poor old grandpa Is stiff, but his pipe no
can whiff
While he juggles bunch of fresh eggs,
And he stands on his head while he hops
For he likes to be kind to his legs.
Brother Joe oftens sings while he merrily
swings
BY his toes from the high chandelier.
And IL callers come In he win soulfully
grin
And request them TO tickle his ear.
Sister Bess has to sew-she embroiders,
you know
But she cannot sit still; not at all
% Sne STITCHES eHCn wreath Wnllo Sne
swings by her teeth
On rope that hangs out in the hall.
Cousin Nellie-she stands with whip In
her hands
On hobbyhorse that she will rock;
With a 'Hoop-la" she leaps through q
hoop where she keeps
Yarn for darning her papa's worn sock
Aunt Minerva Is sweet, and her Jokes will
repeat
Till from merriment gayly she shakes
While she works out plan sitting on tho
dlvan
For new tricks she can do with her
snakes.
When mamma thinks it's time to retire
she will climb
To the roof and will slowly get set,
Then will blow out her light and watt us
a good night
And jump forty-nine feet TO O net.
It's as fine as can be-you ask what about
me?
All, those long nights at home I ad-
mire,
For sleep at my best and get plenty of
rest
AT full length on the cozy tight wire.

WELL OF SODA WATER.
Natural Fountain One Of the Wonders
Of California.

One OF the most interesting and
novel gushing wells In the world, and
perhaps without a rival in either re-
spect, is a geyser of soda water that
recently came up at Vending, Just
across the Mendocino county border
from Sonoma, Cal.
This we'll produces soda water
genuine soda water-and of a quality
that would warrant bottling for the
general trade In such quantities as
were never struck before. There is
so much OF this water that 1t is turned
into a huge fiume and used to float
great logs from the forest to the
lumber mills.
An artesiau well borer was recently
employed to secure an adequate water
supply for large sawmill in that
region. He drilled to a depth of 200
feet, the lower 11O feet being through
solid granite. Then a slight trace OF
water was found The artesIan man
then placed 81 sticks OF dynamite at
the bottom OF the well and exploded
thema
Instantly water gushed up, rising 20
feet above the surface of the ground
pouring forth In enormous volume
That was days ago, and since then
there has been no indication OF ces
sation OF this vast natural soda foun.
