The Order of Fools.

April / is not the only fools day in
the year. On November u, 1881, the
Order of Fools was instituted by Adol-
phus, count Of Cleves.
Members were not by any means
idiots, however, for the word had
different meaning then. They were
the prototype Of our modern Order Of
Foresters or Odd Fellows, doing
similarly benevolent work. Their in
sigma consisted Of q mantle. upon the
left shoulder Of which was embroidered
q Jester, or fool, in cap and bells, yel-
low hose and silver vest. So these
CHEEKY, useful jokers had a bright,
happy outlook upon life and met to-
Gether to dispense the earnest Of their
healthful existence at stated intervals,
the chief day Of which was Nov. r.

A REAL. CLOUDBURST.
One That Descended Upon Mountain
In Scotland.


In Scotland.
What a real cloudburst is like is de-
scribed by a Scotland correspondent OF
Country Life: "a cloudburst Of ex-
ceptional size descended on the Cairn-
sorm mountains. and an old watcher,
who has his hut almost exactly where
the cloud burst. gives the following de-
tails: On July 10. 1901. the morning
opened brilliantly fine and warm, with
a cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine,
but toward noon heavy clouds formed
on the hills, and it rapidly became so
dark that it was almost impossible to
read. He was standing in the door Of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from
the hill across the glen report like
thunderclap, followed by a noise like
the tearing Of linen. only thousand
times louder and more majestic IN
sound. Then he noticed that solid
mass Of water had struck the hilltop.
and part Of it. bounding up again with
the force Of the impact, had descended
on the hilltop Immediately behind his
hut. Immediately afterward tre-
mendous volume Of water came pour
ing down both hillsides. forming great
riffs in the hills as it swirled. irreslStl-
Bile in its course, down rocks and
stones. The channel the food scooped
out was in places quite twelve feet
deep. and large rocks were tossed down
it's course rs if they had been pebbles.
The sand and stones brought down by
the water so damned up the river Dee
that quite an extensive loch was
formed. During the time Of the cloud
burst the weather mile or two up the
glen remained fine, but to the south
the clouds were black as night"

The Safest Employment.

The person who is least affected by
