Residents of the western portion
of Louisville, Ky., and of Shipping
port enjoyed an unusual spectacle
and sport on one morning when the
air was clear and cold and very
light and the sun shining. As it is
described, -suddenly large balls of
pure crystalized frost, shaped after
theiorm and size of thistle-bloom
'balloons' that children use as play
things, began falHing in profusion,
and before the shower abated the
ground was covered with frost balls.
The pretty visitors came down
slowly and lighted on the ground
so easily that the small arms that
extended from the center of each
ball, were not broken." Some per-
sons caught
the balls on dishes.
The old Standard Oil concern is

name. When the business was
first started there was no predju
dice against the name of "trust"
and that name was made to appear
in the articles of incorporation.
Now there is so much opposition to
the name and so many legal ob
stacles in the way of its use that-it
will be dropped, and the business
will be done everywhere by the
plain Standard Oil Company. And
the price of oil will remain un
changed. Ex.

A. 5TIE3Q3n
In regard to the statement made
in the Hershey Review concerning
cards and dominoes being played in
my school. I will say that dominoes
were played in my school for about
two weeks and only two weeks.
But r.o cards were ever played-in SSSS
the bsilding or on the grounds? "
during my term.
When I first came here I heard I
was going to be watched, but had
no idea I was going to be adver
tised. I have tried to do mv dutv.
and
if
am doing any
thing- the
parents think wfong. I would con
sider them ladies and gentlemen if
they would speak to me about it
Then if I don't heed I am willing- to
be advertised.
Had I not known dominoes were
played here in i previous years I
would not have permitted the play
ing of this game under any con
sideration. Dominoes and authors
were both played here in previous
years. Dominoes not later than
last year. But it was not put in
the paper, however.
Dominoes was the only game
played daring my term and as they
were played here during previous
terms. I do not consider that I have
committed any great offense.
But I want it distinctly under
stood by all that there has never
been any cards pla-ed in the build
ing or on the grounds during my
term.

Irrririg Bayard Taylor's visit to the
zoological gardens in London he noticed
a Innpopotamus which lay in its tank
apparently oblivious of its surroundings.
Entering into cenversarion with the
keeper one morning, he was told that
the creature refused to eat and was
gradually starving itself to death. "I
fancy it's homesick, added the keeper.
"He's a frnp specimen, and it seems a
pity we should lose him, but he's moped
ever since the keeper who had charge of
T-ifm on heard the steamer left. He pays
no attention to anything I say.'
Timm rfretr ihp PTpatirm ftim from
a part of Africa he had once visited,
Vt. Taylor, on an impulse, leaned for
ward and addressed it in. the dialect
used by the hunters and keepers of that
region. The ?rnfmn7 lifted its head, and
the small eyes opened. Mr. Taylor re
peaxed his remark, when what does Mr.
Hippo do hut paddle slowly over to
where he stood. . Crossing to the other
side of the tank, -the experiment was re
peated with, the same result, the pear
thing showing mnnistakahle signs of
joy, even consenting to receive food
from the hrrad of his new friend.
Yr. Taylor paid several visits to the
gardens, being alwsys noticed by his
Afrrran friend Finally, before leaving
the dry, he taught the keeper a few
eenteaces he had bear in the habit of
addressing" to the h "pp-in-ira m n t an?
