On the Edge of the Precipice.

ON Friday evening, March, 10,
I thunderstorm Of unusual vio-
lence broke over London. 1t
was notably peculiar in certain of its
aspects. The weather was cold and
showery, a typical day Of the March
equinox. Under such conditions
barometric pressure remains fixed
rather than variable, yet many whose
business or hobby it is to record such
facts observed a rapid shrinkage of
the mercury column between the
rain fell for many minutes, and was
followed. about - 80 p. m, by a mad
turmoil of thunder and an astounding
electrical display not often witnessed
beyond the confines Of the giant
mountain ranges of the world.
So violent and unnerving was the
outburst that the social life of Lon
don was paraIyzed for the hour.
Theater parties, diners in the fashiona-
BILE restaurants, the greater millions
anxious to get away from offices and
shops, those eager alike to enter and
leave the charmed circle Of the four
mile RADIUS, were ruthlessly hidden 10
wait while the awesome forces and ma
ture made mad racket in the streets.
All horse flesh was afraid. The dri-
vers Of cabs and omnibuses were I'M

then cut and sewed, and cut and

Two weeks later, Lysander John,
whose sense Of humor has survived
30 years Of matrimouy, issued the fol-
lowing announcement to his friends.
We have at our house a guilt We
will be glad to loan TO any friends %

when filled with mournful
thoughts over parting with those left
behind, and forebOdings of what the
future existence may hold, the one
nearing death need only be shown this
quilt and Immediately he will be
seized with mirth at the thought that
anyone could put such a thing to-
gether
"AII regrets and forebodings will be
swept from his mind and he will go
dancing into the next world with his
heart filled with wild merriment, and
his crown on one ear.

brious deathbed may rent this quilt at
