home opposite the Oxuard hotel and his recovery it very doubtful Ho has been an invalid for some time and com pelled to use crutches Recently he was swinging in a hammock when the rope broke and he

water into tho old river bed to form an ideal llake for boating fishing and bathing purposes Hooper people are evidently not so entirely taken up with the mad chaso aftor wealth but that they have

Zeurcher who reluctantly accepted it Tho work accomplished by Mrs Jacob Zeurcher and her children certainly deserves tho commendation of the railroad company and every passen ger on tho train The crop condition seems to be Beri oub in tho vicinity of Grand Island ac cording to the Independent Oats are being cut for hay and on the high land it is very slim picking at that Pastures are very dry Portions of tho high corn fields have already been destroj ed and other portions must havo rain in a day or two to be saved In the valleys it is some better but crops will not stand it thorn but a few clays withont rain The condition there must be consider ably worse than in the vicinity of Nor folk Although some crops are suffer ing for water and a few fields are ruined by tho hot dry weather there promises to bo a generally fair crop of small grain and other crops appear to be able to stand tho drouth for some time Tho greatest danger is from tho hot winds These are capable of doing

wun notorious for her ugliness Slie wrote Prom oaily youth I knew how ugly 1 was and hated to have people look sharply at me 1 never cared for dress as I knew that diamonds and omit inetitH would only attract attention to me Once Countess Kolssotis iiHlied inu why I never turned to look at a mirror In passing us every other woman did 1 told her I could not endure the sight of my own face As a girl 1 must havo been verv ugly I hud little blinking eyes a pug nose aud a Mg mouth with thick lips My face was broad and fat and my figure short ami stumpy Nobody would have tuleinted me except for my good disposition I dont suppose that there was In the whole world another pair of hands an ugly as mine The king often told me so and 1 laughed for 1 was resolv ed always to laugh at my lildeousnesH 1 must confess that 1 had to laugh verv often Wluit surprised me most wiih that any one could fall In love with me I was notoriously the ugliest woman at court yet I was married at II I often ifekcri my husband If the sight of me were not repulsive and What he had seen In mo that Induced him to fall In love with me 1 never got a satisfactory answer but l think that I must have had some other at tractions which outweighed my ugli ness On ItciiilliiK Aliiml It Is a distinct loss that reading Is bo badly taught and that so few people know anything about the magic of the poets In their use of sound We read almost cvclshely with the eye al though poetry Is pilinarlly Intended for the ear Shakespeare wrote almost exclusively foi the ear and we remain unmoved by the woudeiTiil vibration of his gieat passages until we hear them Poetry ought always to be heard llrst and read afterward If the best of Browning Is sympathetically and Intel ligently Interpreted by the voice the much dlscued obscurity Is not In evi dence Many people llnd for Instance n little lllllculty In getting the clear nnd full slgiiliicance of The Portrait of the Last Idichess when they read It for the tlrst time but It fastens Itself Instnntlj on tho Imagination If it Is well read A good deal of time now devoted to coinmontnrlts and text study might profitably be given to readlngthe text aloud without note or

H Johanna do Countobrlggu and Isabella Pouvesto One wonders why the husbands were not summoned In a similar case In lSHi when Agues Potings bread was seized It was ad Judged that her bread should be for feited and given to the prisoners In Neugate because her husband did not come to avow own the bread Are we to assume that In the absence of the husbands the bread was merely for feited without the Infliction of a line An Indication of the Importance of the breadmakiiig business Is also found In au enactment of the reign of Henry III to the effect that every cart of Hremblo or Steven hethe Stepney that comes Into the city with bread shall pay each day 1 halfpenny Gentlemans Magazine nirdn nnd Old Coin A French physician lately had an op portunity to observe a polnto de Paris which had been lying for several days in the stomach of a child and found that the gastric Juice had acted upon the smallest particles of the article blunting the blade and point and giv ing the medal a brown color In this manner might be explained tho process used In Italy to pioduce old coins and medals Large birds are made to swal low roughly stamped coins with the Imago of Tiberius or Caligula After awhile the animals give off again the coins upon which meanwhile an ap preciable layer of patina has formed This result Is apparently due to the ac tion of the gastric Juices Jewelers Circular Weekly
