JUSTICE BREWERS LITTLE TALE.

This one is by Justice Brewer, of the
Supreme Court:
A millwright was converted to. the
way of thinking of a sect which pc
riodically was inspired with a fore
knowledge Of the imminence of the day
of doom and set the date, preparing for
Gabriel's greeting.
The date was set and the day came.
The millwright donned his white robe
and went out into the fields to await
the coming melting with the celestial
throng. The day passed until 1t was
late in the afternoon, and the mill
wright, having arisen at the stroke of
midnight on the morn of the eventful
day, grew drowsy, and, throwing him
self down upon a pile of hay, fell asleep
at his watch.
Boy discovered him, and, with the
natural mischievousness of boys, they
set fire to the hay. The smoke and the
heat soon woke the slumbering mill
wright, and, sitting up with a start, he
cried with the anguish of the lost:
Jus as I expected! In hell after
all!"-Exchange.

A QUESTION OF CLIMATE.
of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Was the climate of Europe ever of a
tropical nature? / have heard it so
stated, but have never seen an ex-
PLANTATION of it. M. b..
There is plenty of evidence to prove
that not only Europe and North
America, but the lands situated within
the Arctic Circle, must once have had
a tropical climate. The numerous fos-
sill remains found in those regions are
those of plants and animals which, ac-
cording to h present state of our
knowledge, must have lived under con-
ditions now found only in the equatorial
belt.-Ed.1
