FRAME STRUCTURE.
The elevator is frame structure,

building stood barrels of water and
buckets. but the fire was not noticed in

be made.
While this is not the first fire that

A FISH STORY.

Nearly every Saturday morning at
$50 o'clock I am awake and dressed,
ready to get some fresh fish. I go to
the beach where the fish boats land
and get the size 1 would like to buy.
There are many varieties, such as the
bluefish, weakfsh, porgies, butterfish,
kingish, horse mackerel and drum
fish. Pen and ink fish and sea rob-
ms are no good to eat. There is a
queer thing about a pen and ink fish,
which 1 will tell you. When he is
swimming III the water and sees some
thing that does not take his eye he
will pour a black substance from two
sacks on the side of his body into the
water, which does not clear for two
or three hours. The pen is the back
bone of the fish, which can be pulled
out easy when the fish is dead, and
which looks like a quill. And that is
where the fish gets its name. A sea
robin has a pair of wings in front OF
his fins, which makes the fish travel
very swiftly through the water. Horse
mackerel are of a large size, weighing
coo pounds apiece. DTumfish weigh
200 or 800 pounds. The fishermen
are all Swedish, and are very strong.
They go out to sea twice day, in
the morning and l in the afternoon.

THE COMMON NEED.

Unless one has travelled the arid
water really is, declares DR.. William
T.. Hornaday in "Camp-Fires on Des-
ert and Lava" He explains further
that he does not mean Apollinaris,
but just plain, old-fashioned well, or
"water-hole" or desert tank" water,
as the case may be. This apprecia-
tion of water made the party very
sympathetic in regard to the fate Of
certain wild fowl which appeared at
the tank" near which a nights
camp had been established.
Just at sunset, when our little
lonesome world was settling down
for the night, some one eXcitedly an
nounced a discovery.
There are two ducks in tie tank!"
Some one else quickly clught up a
loaded shotgun and hurried along the
side of the embankment to the upper
end OF the water
Secretly, | hoped that those ducks
would take alarm and fly away in
time To shoot those little lone
some birds that had flown on weary
wing over a good hundred miles of
waterless desert, clear down from the
ella River, seemed to me like sin
against nature. Those two individual
ducks seemed entitled to our hospi-
tality and protection.
The god Vishnu elected to preserve
them. When we heard the reDOrt Of
the gun our spirits sank; but when
the hunter quickly returned with the
terse announcement, II missed
them!" some one said:
"I'm glad of 1T" and to our sur
prise he answered, $50 am T."

A RALJOON ASCENSION.

A large auction sale of property
was held in our village this week. In
order to draw a crowd there was a
balloon ascension every evening at 6
o'clock. The first two evenings were
successful. The balloonist would as
cend about 500, and when pistol
shot was heard a parachute attached
to the balloon would open and the
balloonist would descend. The third
night, the regular balloonist being i'll,
an amateur volunteered to take his
place. The balloon assembled about
200 feet, and then started to come
down, and the balloonist, fearing he
would strike nearby house, cut the
rope. The parachute failed to work,
and SO the man fell to the ground.
When the crowd reached him he was
unconscious. Quickly calling an am
bulance, he was taken to the South
Shore Hospital, where the doctors
found that he had broken his arm and
received severe internal injuries. 1t

ON THE DEAD SEA.

Many false and foolish reports
about the Dead Sea-that strange and
interesting lake - have been circu-
lated" said Abraham S. Abrahams,
of Jerusalem and London, who is on a
tour of this country, according to the
Washington Herald.
Much has appeared from time to
time in papers and periodicals about
steamboats, navigating the Dead Sea, y
continued the banker. This, too, is
a fabrication. The only boat on the
Dead Sea is a small sailing boat about
twenty feet long.
This vessel makes trips as the wind
allows from the north end of the sea
to the bay on the eastern side Of the
tongue that divides the water near
the middle. At this terminus some
Jews are located. The whole concern
is, in fact, in the hands OF Jews, who,
at low rate, buy wheat and barley
from the Arabs to be delivered on the
seashore From there it is shipped
to the Jericho side and carried on

GAILLARDIA.

In the gaillardias are found both
annual and perennial plants offering
a wide selection of varieties and a
profusion of bloom over long period.
The blooming period begins early and
continues late in autumn. They are
we'll adapted to mixed borders and
are very satisfactory as cut flowers.
The stems are of good length, carry
the flowers well, and keep. fresh as
cut flowers for a long time when
placed in water.
The annual gaillardias are all pro-
pagated readily from seeds sown in
the open, but earlier flowers will be
secured by sowing seeds in a hotbed
and transplanting the plants to the
open as soon as killing frosts have
passed. In either case the blooming
plants should not stand closer than
ten or twelve inches. They grow and
bloom best when fully exposed to sun
and air, and when planted on a fer
tile but light and well drained SOIL

THE PATRIOT.


While General Chanzy was COM
manding the Army of the Loire, a
small company of soldiers got too
near large post of the enemy near
the town of Mezange and were driven
back by a terrible cross fire. They
had left their regimental flag behind
them, thing almosts unheard of in
that army; and when Captain Henry,
who was riding toward them on the
field of battle, noticed this loss, he
Immediately ordered them to follow
him into Mezange.
One of the worn and excited men
laughed at him, and with insults re-
fused to obey the officer. Captain
Henry made report of this act of in
subordination to General Chanzy that
evening, and the strict but just COM
mander ordered the soldier to be
brought before court-martial at
once. The unfortunate man was con-
demned to death, and suffered the
execution of his sentence within
few hours.
Long after the occurrence, when
General Chanzy was in Paris, in the
seat of deputy in the national as
sembly, he was one day informed by
the usher that a gentleman was
waiting in one of the outer halls to
see him on very important business.
General Chanzy went out to see
what was wanted of him, and found
an old man who told a pitiful tale of
son lost in one of the engagements
just before the entry into LIE Mans.
He gave his name-a well-known
name-and ended:
"Can you tell me whether my child
was killed or whether he was taken
prisoner"
General Chanzy's kind heart al
most stopped within him. This was
the father of the unfortunate young
soldier who had been shot for insub-
ordination on the field of battle!
What could he say to him? What
was there to say?
Finally, with emotion, the old gen.
eral told the wretched father just
what had happened and how.
General, replied his caller,
'since my son had taken his first step
away from the enemy, it was better
that he should never take second.
You acted well. A father may weep
for his child, but Frenchman
thanks you from the bottom of his
heart -

INSECT OGRES.
THE ICHNEUMON.

No work for me or mine.

Look, See that great green worm
feebly crawling up the trunk of the
oak tree. There, she has lost her
hold and tumbled to the ground.
What a strange looking creature she
is! Her back and sides seem to be
covered with grains of rice, all stand
ing on end. Each grain is really a
tiny cocoon. See, some of them are
empty and their little lids hang half
open.
A few weeks ago this great potato
worm was as healthy and fat green
caterpillar as could be, exploring the
garden, tasting this plant and that, or
resting beneath the shade Of the old
apple tree. One day as she was TAX
ing her MONDAY siesta along came a
stranger with curious weapon, a
slender sword in a sheath, attached to
the hinder part of her body. No soon
er did she spy Miss Green than she
unsheathed this fearful weapon and
proceeded to pierce the fat sleeper
again and again, and in every hole
she dropped an egg, as she withdrew
her sword Poor Miss Green, having
no weapon with which to defend her
self, could only throw back her head
in anger and alarm and try to fright
en- off her enemy.
AS the days passed Miss Green felt
more and more uncomfortable. Her
appetite failed, her steps grew slow
and feeble, and as the summer waxed
she felt that her interest in life was
growing less and less. When the sew
enty little worms which had emerged
from the ichneumons eggs had fairly
sapped the life of the unfortunate cat
terpillar, each made its way out to
her back and spun its little cocoon,
which looked exactly like a grain of
rice. Out OF this it in time emerged a
perfect ichneumon ogre, ready to
start off in search of some. other poor
potato worm in which to deposit its
eggs.

as follows:

twenty yards away, with its back TO-

ten minutes the rhino turned round
and walked slowly toward me, graz

THE man 1 had with me became

some distance through the grass,
jumped to his feet and ran. This
aroused the beast, for it lifted it's

The spot where the catastrophe
occurred was fifteen miles from
camp. The nearest doctor was dis
tant one hundred and thirty-six
miles. There on the desert weld,
shattered wreck, with right arm
smashed, ribs broken, and many
minor injuries, lay the hunter, ex-
posed to the fierce equatorial sun.
It was hours before his men found
him, and midnight ere they could
carry him into camp. 1t was not
until eight days after the accident
that the doctor arrived, and the nee

otherwise bears no trace of his ter

A BITNIBLE BIRD BALLAD.

Come, children, leave your spade and pail,
Here's Bundle ready for sail.

And makes a lovely humble boat,
So all aboard and of you go!
You do not even have to row.
For Bundle does it with his feet,
And isn't such d sail a treat?
And now we're almost at the beach
Why do you splatter, scream and screech!

You know that's just the Bundle song.
