been lettering about the yard all morn

Another explanation might nave been
afforded by Sir Geoffrey Beaudesert,
who could also have cleared up the
mysterious presence of two golden
guineas in the postboy's pocket.
Thus 1t was within an hour or so
of noon, when Prue, having received

balmy springtime, was drawing thither
quite a rush OF visitors.

flung wide. and we could see without

Soda Lake in Africa

In English East Africa Is the rich
est bed of soda In the world. Engi-
neers say that it contains 100000, 900
tons. The lake has a surface of more
than SO square kilometers. During
the rainy season, which in this local
lily is short, its surface is covered
with a shallow layer of water. When
a block Of soda is taken out, another
forms. and the natives say that this
occurs SO quickly that an equal
amount of soda may be distracted for
a number of years from the same
place.-Harper's Weekly.

1t various times in speeches and now
