In the Spring.

The country schoolteacher had been
telling her scholars about the seasons
and their peculiarities, and TO impress
their minds with the facts she Ques-
toned them upon the points she had
given. Several queries had been put,
and finally she reached the stupid boy
in the corner
"Well, Johnny" she said. "have you
been paying attention.
"Yes'm." he answered promptly.
'T'm glad to hear it. Now, can you
tell me what there is in the spring"
"Yesm. can. but l don't want to.
ooh. yes. you do. Don't be afraid.
You have heard the others. Be good
boy. now, and tell us what there is in
the spring"
"W'y-w'y-mum, there's frog an
a lizard an a dead cat in it, but |
didn't put 'em there 1t was another
boy, for l seen him do it."--Exchange.

Salt Water Cataraets.

There are good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway. southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords
or arms Of the sea. are INSTRUCTED by
barriers of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond
but the water is held back at the ebL
until it breaks over the obstruction 10
an irresistible torrent. Most curious
Of all is the waterfall at Canoe Pas
sage. where the island of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the food tide from the
gulf of Georgia to the southwark IS
held back at 4 narrow cleft between
two islands until it pours over III a
boiling cascade eighteen feet high, with
perhaps double the volume OF the
Rhine. At the turn Of the tide, now
ever, the waters from the north rush
back into the gulf, producing a cas-
cade of equal height and volume. The
waterfall actually flows both ways.

Sending a Man to Coventry.

The expression sending 10 Coven-
try" had military origin. 1t arose
so it is said, in the days Of Charles
l.. when the inhabitants Of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in their
town, and a woman known to speak
to a man in a scarlet cloak was at once
the subject Of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con-
fined TO the mess room for conyersd-
ton. Thus the term sending man TO
Coventry" if you wished 10 shut him
from society took root in the English
language.-LondOn Chronicle.

Kerting, said to be the most beautiful
model in Chicago, is worth Just $25, zoo
to her husband, William Kerting. a
member of the board of trade, living
in Oak Park, whom she has sued for
divorce. Kerting has begun an action
for that sum against Walter Cunning
ham, described as "Hinsdale million
aire," who, Kerting alleges, aienated
from him his beautiful wife's az
:fections.
AS the principal character in two le-
gal actions, Mrs. KertiEg faces consid-

are extant some hundreds OF her pho
tographs, taken in a variety of poses.
and that these pictures are likely to
ibe published In the newspapers, is not
likely to add any JOY to the situa-
