The Rain Was Hot.

Mrs. Goitt had been waiting for q
week or more to give her rear porch q
good scrubbing, but she was always
afraid of mourning the keen displeas-
ure OF the people in the fiat below,
who, it seemed, were never off their
porch and who would get all the drip.
pings Of her scrubbing operation.
When it rained, though, Mrs. Goitt
saw what she thought was her oppor-
tunity. The people down below surely
would not be out on the porch during
the rainstorm, and all the water that
dripped down would be attributed ito
the rain. She filed a bucket with boil
ing hot water, threw in sallow cake
of soap and got busy.
I But she had reckoned wrong, for the
people down below were on their porch
enjoying the shower. In a minute Mrs.
Goitt heard woman's voice below
saying: why, Martha, the rains com.
ing through from the porch above. The
roof must leak" ~
And then Martha observed, with q
gasp: Yes. And. oh, heavens, had you
noticed that the rain is hot? Did you
ever hear Of such a thing? Aren't ter.
rible things happening? All these aw.
full murders, and now hot rain! But its

1t would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted of, but
when we come to consider the iron
lamp, or "crusie,' we know that the
wick commonly used was the pith of
the rush, which was gathered and
partially stripped Of its outer green
covering, cut into proper lengths, dried
and tied up into bundles ready for use.
The iron lamp was hammered out of
one piece of iron in stone mold. This
was usually done by the blacksmith,
and the molds are still to be seen in
museums, in the hands Of private col
lectors and no doubt at some of the
country blacksmiths' shops. They are
Of one uniform shape, with some Slight
varieties. The lamp consists of two
cups, one suspended above and inside
the other. The suspender is so fixed
and notched as to enable the upper
cup, which holds the oil and wick, to
be shifted to keep the oil constantly in
contact with the wick. The lower cup
catches the drip Of the oil, which can
be easily replaced in the upper cup by
lifting it'on until the oil is poured into
1t. The upper cup has sometimes a
movable lid.-Chambers' Journal.

Reading a Horses Face.

Every horse carries an index to his
temper and intelligence in his face.
The 1teachable, tractable animal is
broad and fiat between the eyes; the
bony ridge of his face dishes slightly
from the point where the face narrows
toward the nostrils. His ears are we'll
set, sensitive and far apart, with a
well defined ridge of bone extending
across the top Of the head between
them. Always feel for this ridge in
judging a horse. The eye should be
large, clear and bright, with a prom
inent ridge of bone along the inner and
upper edge of the socket.-London An
