wide on the bottom and five feet on

from ten 10 fifteen feet. The most re-
markablc circumstance connected with
this strange lake Is that the stones
lsed In the construction OF this wall
vary from three 10 100 pounds in
weight and there are no stones what

the probability is that, average hui

All Fools Day.

When freakish April lifts the latch
all wits and wags consider themselves
free to vent their nonsense upon the
victims whom they would fool by their
tricks. The gay Partisan calls such
April fish," in bonnie Scotland on
this day they make merry hunting
the gowk," whilst in England and this
country a man keeps a sharp lookout
lest he be caught at disadvantage by
the joker who glories in his smartness
if he only can make some one look
ridiculous. But it is just as we'll not
to be too smart. The boomerang has
a wicked habit Of coming back. Silly
as Ali Fools day custom may seem to
the solemn, it has an ancient ancestry.
It's origin is obscure, but somewhere
from the far-off times when those old
Romans felt the Tilt of the vernal equi-
noX, and went on the spree accord
ingly, comes this rollick which still
trills forth its merry d;tty in our
streets. Deeper still, the calm, con-
templative Hindu. for some reason or
other, from time immemorial has gone
a-fooling on the first of April. 1t was
probably from France, whence all
things vivacious come, that Europe got
the unruly itch for turning this day
into a comedy of errors.
