Curious Tombstone,

On gravestone in the parish
churchyard of Great Yarmouth, Eng
land. there is sculptured the unusual
representation of IA clown seated in
tub, which is being drawn down riv-
er by two swans. Beneath this stone
lies one Of the many victims who were
drowned years ago by the collapse Of
an iron suspension bridge on which
they had crowded to see clown pass
underneath in the manner described.
The feat. which was novel form OF
advertisement by travelling circus,
was actually performed. but the rush
of people from one side of the bridge
to the other after the man had passed
under caused the tragic ending.

ds the product of one Of Americas
earliest woodcarvers and artisans,
Shem browne of Boston.
Brownies shop was on Ann street in
the north end.
OF the many vanes he made only
three are now known to be In ex-
isteace-the one on the Shepard Me-
mortal church in Cambridge. which
formerly was on the steeple of the
New Brick church on Hanover street
in this city and known as the revenge
vane; the one In the collection of the
Massachusetts Historical society, rel
ic of the old Boston province house.
and the one on Faneuil hall.
This grasshopper of copper, hammer
ed out by hand has large CLASSY eyes,
which in the sunlight shine like fire.
1t was made in 1742 at the order Of
Peter Faneuil when the hall. his gift
to the town, was nearing completion.
1t has not. however, lived a life of
unbroken peace. for several times 1t
has been near. destruction. In 1755,
when Boston was shaken by an earth
quake, the vane fell to the ground, but
after being supplied with new leg by
the son Of the man who made it 1t was
replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was
seriously damaged by fire. but the
vane remained intact. and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place Of honor.
Another disaster befell 1t when In
1889 flag was being raised to cele-
brate the anniversary Of the evacua-
ton of the city by the British. The hop

in few days 1t hoped right back
again, and there it has remained ever
since, with the exception Of an occa-
sional removal for repairs. - Boston

PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend of tho Way Spring
Came Into Existence.

Indian Legend of tho Way Spring
Came Into Existence.
Once, long before there were men in
the world, all the earth was covered
with snow and ice.
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas: white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead. like ghosts in white gowns.
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky, and it was
almost black. At night the stars look
ed through 1t like angry eyes.
Then God sent the Spring down into
the world-the Spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first fiowers-crocus,
anemones and violets. red, pink. blue,
purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal to greet the Spring
was the white rabbit. The Spring
dropped a red crocus ON his head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes.
Then the Spring dropped a blue vio-
let on white bird. the first bird to
greet the Spring, and that is the way
the bluebrd was made. Ever since
then it is the first bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven.
So the Spring went through the
world. Wherever he tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth
became green. He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas. and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tint of his flowers. That is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring. So their SUBMITS
remain white and dead, for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fed from the
Spring, so they, too. remain white to
this day.

A COLD STORAGE ROMANCE.

Bill Bailey was bachelor, forsaken and
forlorn.
He used to eat a single egg for breakfast
every MORN
He bought his egg one morning from the
shop across the way.
The sign above them read, These EGGS
Are Strictly Fresh Today"
Bill Bailey's wonder and surprise were
more than we can tell
When he discovered some one had been
writing on the shell.
In fact, 1t seemed a woman had inscribed
upon the egg
Her autograph. The name he found was
Clementina Clegg.
He wrote to the address she gave and
registered a vow:
This Is the woman of my choice. I'll
find partner now"
For weary weeks he waited though the
maiden had forgot,
And then his hopes were shattered by the
answer that he got:
Dear sir. your letter is at hand. and in
To state that there is no one here named
Clementina Clegg.
Some of the oldest people here admit
they used to know
bunch of Cleggs who peddled eggs, but
that was years ago.
"They tried to run poultry ranch. but
couldn't make 1t pay.
So sold to a cold storage plant, and then
they went away"

THE ALBATR0SS.
The Largest Sea Bird Having the Pow
or Of Flight.

or OF Flight.
The albatross, that wunderer OF the
seas SO often referred TO In prose and
poem, is nevertheless II stranger to the
average person and by some is even
considered myth. In Coleridge's
THE Rhine of the Ancient Mariner"
the albatross plays a leading part, and
one sorrows for the poor bird, which,
after following the ship for weeks, is
pitiessly shot down by II mariner.
The albatross is the largest sea bird
having the power of flight and is
closely allied to the gull. petrol and
Mother Carey's chicken. 1t has
tremendous stretch of wing. averaging
from ten to twelve feet. The wings
are. however, extremely narrow. being
about nine inches in breadth. The
body Is about four feet in length, and
the weight is from fifteen to eighteen
pounds, a comparatively light weight
when one considers the extreme length
of wing. The albatross is possessed
of n peculiarly long, oddly shaped bill,
which gives 1t strange appearance.
The nostrils open from round, hori-
zontal tubes on each side of the bill,
but at its base.
This great bird is generally met with
in southern seas although 1t is occa-
sionally seen on our Pacific coast. On
the Atlantic side 1t is rarely found as
far north as Tampa bay.
It's food consists of cuttlefish, jelly
fish and scraps thrown from passing
ships. 1t is a greedy bird and at
times gorges itself to such an extent
that 1t is unable to rise from the wa.
ter
Its power of flight is, however, the
most remarkable thing about the al
batross. 1t spends it's life, with the
exception of a few weeks given each
year to nesting, entirely ut sea and Is
on the wing practically all the time.
Furthermore, it does not progress by
tapping its wings. as most birds do.
but seems to soar at will, rarely IL
ever giving stroke of the wing. SEEM
ing to need no impetus.-St. Nicholas.
