"I went through a curious experi
ence lately," said a steamboat man to
the writer. "Business took me to a
Email town in Louisiana, and I remained
there all night, and on turning in at
the small hotel I told the porter to call
me at eight sharp, and left the blind
open, so that I should be sure and not
oversleep. A few hours, as I thought,
later, I was aroused by some one
pounding on my door, and I soon
recognized the boy's voice, saying it
was time to get up. It can't be more
than four,' I sung out, for it's as dark
as pitch.' 'It's eight, all de same.'
yelled the boy; 'and I reckon de sun's
dun gone out, an' de wort's a comiu'
.to ah end;' and then." continued the
speaker, "I heard yells and groans all
about, and I can tell you I wasn't long
in getting into my duds, and when 1
I;ot down stairs there was a curious
Dene. All the lamps were lighted and
tbp rooms were full of negroes, all a
gelling and groaning that the end had

much more cheerful, for it did look
Snd of queer, as out of doors, where
e sun, by good rights, ought to have
been three hours high, it was as black
as the ace of spades not an ordinary
night black, but something worse so
that it seemed like a regular fog, and
people got lost and ran into fences and
the like. It lasted for about four hours,
and then, having scared the people half
to death, it began to let up, and finally
the sun came out. It was what they
called a dark day, and, although there
were plenty of theories proposed, I
doubt if any exactly hit the mark."
TAMOUS HAKK DAYS.
The Louisiana dark day is by no
means the iirst that has visited the
country. In an old journal dated
August 9, 1732, there is a note concern
ing a dark dav in New England: "At
twelve o'clock, when people began to
go to dinner, it suddenly grew dark.
Chickens went to roost, and few per
sons returned to their stores, and uni
versal alarm was felt. The gloom
lastod well into the afternoon, clearing
away before sundown, however, as if to
how that that luminary was still in ex
istence." In very early times dark
davs have been recorded, and the one
in "England in tho year 1678 was justly
famous. In 1807 and 1816 England
had a similar visitation. In early days
these occurrences were supposed to
precede disaster of some kind, as war.
Elague, or something of that nature.
a October, 1783, the sunlight was shut
off over a greater part of Canada so
quickly that the inhabitants in many
tawnswefe panic-stricken, and a num
ber Of persons were injured by losing
Aeir way and falling over cliffs, etc.
In this case the darkness was followed
!by a hurricane that caused great dam
ago throughout the country. During
Jthe war of "1812 a remarkable dark day
(was experienced in London, and in the
succeeding year tho darkness came for
that
iveral days in succession, so

finis display was followed by a terrible
sfcow-storni and a winter remarkable
'for its severity. Probablv the most re -
markable dark era, especially so for the
widencss of its range, was that which
appeared over New England. Maine
and New Hampshire felt it the mot,
fcut it was universal over all the States.

the lino referring to seefng "through a . General Lee. after the surrendei
glass darkly, when, like a shot, ihev
were left in darkness, black, ominous
clouds seemingly settling down over
the locality. The speaker, it is said,
pointed to the great window and
remarked: "It is rarely that we have
an example better than can be found
"in the Bible, and I move wc adjourn
and go out and sec it." and. as the
. House was in almost total darkness, it
adjourned. Candles were lighted
js were lighted at
this time all over New England, and
the superstitious were positive that the
end had come. A peculiar feature of
these dark spells was that they were
all remarkable for a peculiar hue or
tint that pervaded them. Thus the
fog, if it can so be called, that spread
over New England had a remarkably
brassy hue, that gavo all objects a
spectral appearance, while some ob
servers stated that everything had a
yellow tint, and claimed that there
was an odor of sulphur. This same
hue was noticed by the writer some
years since on the "Maine coast, and
was supposed to be due to forest fires,
that filled the air with smoke. The
wonderful dark fog that fell like a pall
over England aud other parts of
Europe in 1783 is described as having
a decided blue tint. On other occa
sions the tint has been red, gray or
purple. One of the most remarkable
"blue days on record was noticed a
fow years ago in South America, and
in some towns, where the houses were
pure white, they gave an extremely
rich blue reflection of many different
shades. The great extent of these
periods of darkness is difficult to ex
plain. Thus the one of 1783 not only
spread over Europe, but the greater
Eart of Northern Africa. According
amanon, it spread over the country
with considerable fauiditv. It was
noticed first at Copenhagen) on May j
24th; at La Rochelle June 6th. going
rapidly south, reaching Borne ten days
later, "and causing a- reign of terror
among the ignorant poor. It reached
Geneva on the 17th, Paris the follow
ing day, and by the last of the month
had been noticed at Moscow, Syria
and even in Amecica. That it was
not a low-lying fog was evident
from the "fact that travelers
a the highest mountains, where"
the phenomenon was noticed, could
above it. Curiously enoogfe.
winder rain did not seem to affect it,for
during its existence there were twenty
three days ef heavy rain, besides violent
wind-storms that had, however, no
effect upon it. This dry mist, as it wai
called for want of a better name, was
of a bright red hue, and in many local
ities signified in the minds of the people
m coming war. A very similar phe
nomenon has been observed in later
times. Thus, in 1831, Africa, Europe
and parts of America were visited by a
mist that gave to all objects an emerald
hue, or again an azure blue. A re
markable feature of this was that the
fog, if it could be called by that name,
became luminous at times, so that in
many localities, although lights had to
be used during the day time, at night
the mist gave out light quite sufficient
to read by, and so bright was the light
that fine print was read with ease at
midnight.
The cause of these mists is still a
mystery. The scientist Catte consid
ered that they were due to metal em
anations united with electricity, and to
the indirect result of earthquakes.
Valtman, a German writer, considered
the enormous peat tires of Westphalia
as the prime cause of the mist in that
part of Europe, and the dark days of
Europe have often been laid to prairie
and forest tires. Benjamin Franklin
proposed a novel theory that had many
adherents. It was that an enormous
meteoric globe had struck the atmos
phere of the earth and exploded, tho
smoke and small atoms gradually set
tling down and so obscuring the sun
and moon. It has been found that vast
amounts of organic and inorganic
matter are always floating about in
space, and it has been assumed that
at times great bodies of dust are swept
into the air quite enough, in fact.
to occasion a series of dark
days under the locality where the
dust was held suspended in the
air. What are known as "red snow,"
"blood irains" and othpr phenomena in
Europe are merely the result of the
precipitation of this matter to the
ground. They were even more dread
ed in early times than the dark days,
and the people of the time fully be
lieved that blood had fallen from the
sky. A blood rain, according to Pliny,
fell in Constantinople in the year 850.
At Brixan there was a similar fall in
869, at Bagdad in 929, at Viterbo in
1219, in Bohemia in 1419, in West-
Shalia in 1513, at Emden in I066. at
trasburg in 1G23, at Brussels in 1640,
and at Venice in 1087. Other famous
blood rains occurred at Genoa in 1744;
at Cleves. 1763; Pieardy, 176.1; Italy,
1803, and at Glessen 1111821. In the
records of all these rains there are ac
counts of the terror of the people, who
lirmly believed that some teirible visi
tation was about to occur, and. indeed,
they were not agreeable to the eye.
The snow that was pure white in the
evening would, in the following morn
ing, have changed to a rich blood-red.
so that the entire country looked as
though it had a coating of blood. In
the slang of to-day the world was
"painted red." The cause of the pe
culiar color was explained by the fact
that tons of dust had fallen, and tho
red hno was the natural tint of perox
ide of iron. Nor was the color of
these rains confined to red. In 1846 a
yellow rain fell in France, and so
alarmed all the inhabitants that it is
said that wild animals took to the
towns, and utterly lost their fear of
man. This rain is said to have origin
ated in South America, and Ehrenbcrg
estimated that hundreds of tons of or
ganic matter was deposited about the
surrounding country. This must have
crossed the Atlantic in some extremely
high current. The yellow pollen of
plants at times causes what is known
as yellow fog, and that this coloring
agent is carried along through the air
great distances the writer can testify,
as in 1883 the rocks on certain parts of
the Maine coast appeared covered one
morning with a yellow powder that re
sembled sulphur, and not a few of tho
fishermen thought it was, but the mi
croscope showed it to be pollen, and
investigation proved that it must havo
blown several hundreds of miles. Cin

GENERAL LEE.
Th Death of the nUtliiguKhed Confeder

The death of General Robert E. Lee,
at Lexington, Va., on the 12th of Octo
ber, 1870, removed an important actor
in the recent Civil War. In the South,
where he was be-;t known and most be-
j loved; in the North, where his military
genius and worth a. a private citizen
found due recognition, aud in Europe,
where his skillful geueralship and per
sonal courage had won him hi;h re
nown, the tributes to the memory of
the departed Southern ehieftaiu have
been generous, enthusiastic and worthy
of his fame. It may be truly said that

LITTLE WONDERS.
What the InpennllT olKta Has Accom

Sjiac'e. Myrmecides, one of the ancients,
after many years of toil, made out of
ivory a little chariot with four wheels
and four horses, the whole equippage
so small that a bumblebee could com
pletely hide it with one of her wings.
At another time he made, also out of
ivory, a miniature ship with all its
ropes and rigging, likewise so small
that a bee could hide the little vessel
beneath its wing.
In the twentieth year of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth of Englaud, a sturdy
blacksmith, by the name of Mark
Seal's!, who lived in London, manu
factured a padlock of iron, steel and
brass, of eleven pieces, and a pipe key,
all of which only weighed one grain.
He also made a chain of gold of forty
five links which fastened to the lock
I and key and put it around the neck of
j a flt-a, which drew the whole with per
; feet ease. The chain, key, lock and
j ilea all together weighed one grain and
j a half.
j Junius relates that at Mechlin, in
Brabant, lie saw a cherry stone cut in
to the form of a basket, in which were
1 fourteen pair of dice, the spots and
, numbers on each being easily discerned
I with the naked eye.
! Turriana. of whose wonderful skill
1 so manv tales have been told, is said to
have manufactured an iron mill o
minute in size that a monk could carry
it in his sleeve, yet the mill was power
ful enough to grind sufficient grain in
a day to furnish food for eight men.
Still more wonderful was a set of six
hundred dishes which were all perfect
in every part, and which could easily
be enclosed in a peppercorn, a fruit of
the pepper-tree. These were manu
factured by an artist named Oswaldus
Northingenus, in the time of Pope Paul
the Fifth; the Pope is said to have
himself counted the diminutive frag
ments with the aid of a pair of spec
tacles. In 1764, upon the birthday of King
George the Third of England, Mr. Ar
nold, a watchmaker of London, waited
upon the King and presented him with
a curious repeating watch which he
had constructed. His Majesty, as well
as the rest of the royal family to whom
Mr. Arnold was introduced, expressed
their utmost admiration of the work.
Extraordinary' as it may be thought it
is known that this repeating watch was
somewhat less than a .-ilver dime in
diameter, and contained one hundred
and twenty distinct parts. Altogether
it weighed live pennyweights, seven
grains and three fourths. This was
considered at the time as the sublimity
of littleness.
In penmanship the productions of
this class have been very numerous. In
the reign of Queen Elizabeth "there
was a man who wrote the Ten Com
mandments, the Creed, the Paternoster,
and name of the Queen, and the year
of our Lord, within the compass, or on
as small a surface as a penny: and gave
her Majesty a pair of spectacles of such
an artificial making that by the help
thereof she did plainly and distinctly
discern every letter." This feat was
equaled some years since by an en
graver of Loudon named Daircs, who
n.te the Lord's Prayer, the Creed of
the English Church", the Ten Com
mandments, and his own name in the
space occupied by half a dime. A gen
tleman now living in Liverpool has
written the poem "Mount Pleasant"' in
a space three by two inches. He also
wrote Goldsmith's poem of the "Trav
eler," of four hundred and thirty-eight
lines, in a square of three and
one-half inches, and his greatest
feat was the writing of the
Lord's Prayer in a circle three six
teenths of an inch in diameter, which
may be distinctly read with a magnify
ing glass. It is very common to see
the Lord's Prayer written or engraved
on the space of a two-cent piece or a
silver dime, but the specimen just men
tioned is the smallest writing of tho
Lord's Praj-er ever known to exist.
In the year 1816 a knife was made at
Manchester, England, which contained
seventeen articles: three blades, a but

two laucets. with a ring at the head of
the knife. The entire knife was only
eleven sixteenths of. an inch long, and

FLATTERING THE QUEEN.
Courtier of St. .Imuics and Their Opinion of
the Gttuil yueouVlctori.
The Count deMontgelas, an Austrian
secretary of legation, who was for a
long time in high fashion in England,
and a good deal behind the scenes,
gives a rather unflattering picture of
Queen Victoria, who is now at Darm
stadt among her German relatives.
There is. however, much truth in it.
With the exception of the Duke of
Richmond, who is a blunt, plain-mannered
man, there is not one among the
statesmen of the day wh would ven.
ture to express his real opinions to her-
Lord Beaconlield. by his adroitness,
his patient courtiership, unbounded
and "extravagant adulation, had over
come the prejudices with which Prince
Albert, who detested him. inoculated
her, and had won her entire heart and
confidence. For the Gladstones, both
husband and wife, especially the latter,
who is a very able woman, she has an
undisguised aversion, and though, as a
matter of form, they sometimes dine
and sleep at Windsor, their relations
are strained aud chilly.
She is extremely selfish and the lot
of her maids of honor is a very hard
one. The demands on their endurance
and patience are continuous. The
Marchioness of Ely, a delightful
woman, full of the tenderest sensibility
and sympathy, is often put to the pain
of telling some huh of the Court that
her presence is disagreeable and she
must go. Within the last two years
two ladies-in-waiting, whom Victoria
received with open arms, were sud
denly dismissed without other cause
than that she wearied of them.
When the unfortunate Beatrice,
whose life has been a dreary monotony
of attendance, announced to her her
betrothal, which took place secretly
four years ago, to the Prince of Batten
berg, a storm of passion broke out
which it took some lime to appease.
She is very fond of the military, and if
the war comes oft' she will be quickly
back to present colors and see the
parting regiments off. She detests, as
did Prince Albert, the Russians, al

MARRYING.
A. Collection of Spicy Anecdotes Relatlns
to Wcddtngrf.
There was a clergyman who married
a couple, and it the wedding breakfast
one of the bridesmaids expressed a
wish to see that mystic document, a
wedding license, which she had never
beheld in her lifetime. The request
occasioned a fearful discovery. The
clergyman had quite forgotten to ask
for the liceusc: the bridegroom had left
it to his "best man" to procure it. and
this the "best man" had forgotten tu
do. Of course the raamage was no
legal marriage at all. Tne wedding
party broke up in dismay, and -.hc cere
mony was performed again nxt day.
The poor clergyman, howeve. never
got over the eflect of this blunde-.
On another occasion a clergyman got
himself into considerable trouble: he
was of the type known as Ritualistic,
and persuaded a worth- couph who
had been married at a nonconft rrnist
chapel that they had not been ecclesias
tically married at all, and that it was
necessary that they should be married
over again at the parish church. This
was very much resented b' th non
conformist interest and the clergx man
was put upon his trial at the Of ford
Assizes. The Judge took a very letnent
view, and said that, as the parties had
already been legally married, any
further service was illusory and mere
child's play, and that "he might jast
as well have read 'Chevey Chace' over
them."
In one of his novels Charles Knde
makes his hero, a clergyman, woLder
whether he might not legally rorry
himself to the heroine, especially as
they were both cast upon "" a dcso.ate
island. It may be as well that no el
ists and novel-readers should be awire
that for a clergyman to officiate at nis
own marriage is utterly illegal.
One day an elderly gentleman met a
young one. "I have had a hard day s
work," Miid the young Levitc. "I began
at seven o'clock this morning by mar
rying a young couple." "Allow me U
inform you," said his senior, "that
marriage at that time of day, accord
ing to English law, is no marriage a!
all. Moreover, to the best of my be
lief. 3011 have made yourself liable to
seven years' penal servitude. Betweep
eight and twelve is t lie prescribed timo.
You had better go back as soon as yon
can and U'arry them over again."
I have known brides, when the
grooms have failed to make the proper
responses, prompt them immediately
and with the greatest facility. As fof
the men, the commit all kinds of blun
ders and bunglings. I have known a
man, at that very nervous and trying
moment, follow the clergyman within
the communion rail aud prepare to
take a place opposite him. I have
known a man, when the minister
stretched out his hand to unite those of
the couple, take it vigorously in his
own and give it a hearty shake. Some
times more serious difficulties occur.
Some ladies have had an almost un
conquerable reluctance to use the word
"obey;" one or two, if their own state
ments are to be accepted, have ingen
iously constructed the word "nobey."
The word, however, has still to be for
mally admitted into the language.
There was one girl, who was being
married by a very kind old clergyman,
who absolutely refused to utter the
word "obey." The minister suggested
that, if she was unwilling to utter the
word aloud, she should whisper it to
him: but the young lady refused even
this kind of compromise. Further,
however, than this the clergymau re
fused to accommodate her; but when
he was forced to dismiss them all with
out proceeding any further the recal
citrant young person consented to
"obey."
The difficult, however, is not always
made on the side of the lady. On one
occasion the bridegroom wished to de
liver a little oration qualifying his vow,
and aescribing in what sense and to
what extent he was using the words of
the formula. He was, of course, "given
to understand that nothing of this
kind could be permitted. There was
one man who accompanied the formu
la with sotto-voce remarks which must
have been exceedingly disagreeable to
the officiating minister. He inter
polated remarks after tho fashion of
Burchell's "Fudge!" "With this ring
I thee wed; that's superstition." "With
my body I thee worship; that's idola
try." "With all my worldly goods I
thee endow; that's a "lie." It is a won
der that such a being was not con
ducted out of church by the beadle.
This puts one in miud of an anecdote
that is told of a man who in his time
was a Cabinet Minister. There was a
greit discussion on the question
whether a man can marry on three
hundred pounds a year. "All I can
sav," said the great man, "is that when
I said: 'With all my worldly goods I
thee endow,' so far from having three
hundred pounds, I question whether,
when all my debts were paid. I had
three hundred penctt." "Yes, my
love." said his wife, "but then you had
your splendid intellect." "1 didn't
endow you with that, ma'am," sharply
retorted the riglit honorable husband.
When the bridegroom has returned
thanks, after the parson's speech, in
these das of feminine oratory, there is
sometimes a tendency on the part of
the b'ide to make a Tittle speech of her
own. "I call you all to witness." said
a bride within our hearing, "that I
have no intention of obeying." "Ah,
madam," said Frederick Denison
Maurice, who was present, "you havo
yet to learn tiie blessedness of obedi
ence." Chicago Tribune.

head, as he stood up. He had a black
eye, a skinned nose and a bloody rag
was tied around his head.
"You wanted him to guess a conun
drum, did you?"
"He had 110 right to pitch into me,
had he?"
"Well, he certainly had great provo
cation. Any man who goes tntting
around with a stock of conundrums on
his back to peddle out must take his
chances of personal injury. I hope this
will be something of a lesson to you,
and I shall fine the prisoner three dol

"You say ff he makes me madt dot vhas

"Certainly,, but fighting is against
the law. Next time any one gives you
a conundrum to guess you mult reply:

so lot m tho i!i;st- of antiquity that no
positive as-ert yus concerning it should
be made. It 5- ev dent thai dogs with
its el s-.iet .. is ex'sted in Britain
when the ;u:an- first" landed there.
They sj.eak t thcin as "the broad
mouthed dog of BriUiu." Whether
these we:v of the ni:i-t:li" or bull-dog
type, or w!n;l:or the two breeds have
the sam.'or'g'n. cannot be del rmincd.
Much written o-i th-- subject w neces
sarily pure i- .iijeeture;" consequently
we need only concern uurselvcs with
the. immedi'sie progenitors of the uias
tilV. and ih..t !o'.- .; I:e ei-ts to-day.
Of all the 1. uv?i canine races the
mastiff's tltl.i.e-.t : I eminently the
most mass.ve. K.ceptioual specimens
of the St 1'erri.i.d, the boar-hound,
and the SiK"r an bloodhound may ex
ceed in height and weight the average
of large ufat li'-, but these examples
are so rare as .iot to materially modify
the assert .on ; the superiority of the
proportions 01 the mastiff.
The distinguishing marks of this
breed are size, mass-veness, dignity and
majesty of appearance. Twenty
eight to thirtv-ouo inches may be ac
cepted as a good average height at the
shoulders. T;:e girth of the chest
should never be less than one-third
more than the height. The body should
be long and v.e'l filled out, without any
approach to the tuckl-up loin of the
hound. Th's a very objectionable.
The legs should be straight, with im
mense bone " and muscle; th
feet round and close; the tail
thick at the root, tapering evenly
to a point, and not extend
ing much belo.v the hocks. The head
is now the great point with fanciers.
It should be broad across the skull. Hat
to the eyebrow, well indented up the
center, with small, close-lying ears,
partly erected when attention is
aroused; the muzzle broad, short, aiid
square-looking, as though it had been
sawed off. Fashion enaiiges much
in this direction. The great show dogs
of ten 3 ears ince would stand no
chance in a modern competition. A
veiy much shorter, blunter muzzle is
thestandard. Whether the dog of to
da3 has really gained in appearance by
his shorter muzzle is certainly open to
doubt. The srrand pre-eminent qualities
of the mastiff are shown in his affec
tionate, true, noble, faithful disposition
and even tmper. He is above all
others the wateh-dog. Bred for genera
tions for this purpose, his impulses lead
him exclusive! in this direction-to
watch and guard, and to repulse tres
passers within h"s precinct. He ac
complishes this end by a resolute and
imposing bearing, never reporting to
force until repeated gentle warnings
havo been ignored. Menace to the
yeVson of h's master the mastiff fiercely
resents. I!s mode of attack is to
pring upon an evil-doer, knock him
dawn, and subdue ii'm with significant
growls. He seldom bites, even under
tne severed provocation. To guard
those living in isolated localit'cs, as a
protector of women and children, he

MEN WHO EAT OYSTERS.
KeaH:u Tliutc Inordinately I'otnl iT the
111 valve Car. Give fur thu Indulgence.
In all countries there are records of
the excessive fondness of great men for
oysters. Cervantes was an oyster
lover, and ho satirized the oyster-dealers
of Spain. Louis IX., careful lest
scholarship should become deficient in
France, feasted the learned doctors of
the Sorbonnc once a year on oysters;
and another Loui.; invested his cook
with an order of nobility a a reward
for his oyster-cookery. Napoleon,
also, was an'oyster-lovcr; so was Rous
seau, and Marshal Turgot used to eat
a hundred or two just to whet his appe
tite for breakfast. Invitations to a dish
of oysters were common in the literary
and "artistic circles of Paris at the latter
end of the last century. The eiieyelo
p:edists were particularly fond of oys
ters. Helvetius, Diderot and the Abbe
Ranal, Voltaire and others were con
firmed oyster-men. Before the Revo
lution violent politicians were in the
habit of constantly frequenting tho
Parisian oyster-shops, and Dan ton,
Robespierre" and others were fond of
thoo ster in their days of innocence.
The great Napoleon, on the eve of his
battles, used to partake of the bivalve,
and Cambarceres v.'as famous for his
hell-hat banquets. Even at this day
the consumption of oysters iu Paris is
enormous; according to recent statis
tics the quantity eaten there is one mill
ion per day.
Among the British celebrities Alex
ander Pope was an oyster eater of
taste, and so was Dean Swift, who was
fond of lobsl-r as well. Thomson, of
the Seasons. ho knew all good things,
knew how good a thing an oyster was.
The learned Dr. Richard iicntley could
never pass an oyster shop without hav
ing a few. ami there have been hun
dreds of subsequent English imn who.
without coming up to Bent ley in other
respects, have resembled him in this.
The Scottish philosophers, too, of tho
last century- Hume, Dugald, Stewart,
Cullen. etc.--used frequently to indulge
in the "whiskenil pandours" of their
day and generation. "Oyster plows."
as" they were called, were frequently
held in the quaint and dirty taverns of
the old town of Edinburgh. These
Edinburgh oyster-taverns of the oldsn
time were " usually situated under
ground, in the cellar-floor, and in
course of the long winter evenings the
carriages of the quality folks would be
found rattling up and setting down fash
ionable ladies to partake of oysters and
po4er, plenteous" but rudely served.
What oysters have been to the intellect
of Edinburgh in later times, who needs
to be told who has heard of Chris
topher North and read the Noctes
Ambroiiame?
A Gosling's Mysterious Flight.
I was allowed to viit my uncle on
Sunday in Scotland. Sunday then be
gan Saturday noon and was a long day.
For whistling a lively air my uncle
said: "Jinimie, go to the garret."
Now, if there was any place next to
Heaven where I wanted to go it was to
the. garret. There was a sword there
which had been used in the battle of
Waterloo, and an 31d gun and fishing
tackle. I took a fishing rod and put
it out of the window. Below were two
little goslings walking around, just out
ef the shell. In a moment I had
'hooked' one. It had the fly. As T
raised it carefully I heard a heavy slcp
on the stairs, and expected a licking.
My uncle came in, looked around the
room and went out. I was not saying
or doing anything. He wjll let me
sutler all da Sunday and lick me on
Monday, I thought. A gentleman
came down from Edinburgh, and I
hoard my uncle say: "I had an exper
ience to-day that was mysterious. We
know a full-fledged goose can fly," he
added, --but to-day I saw a gosling."
And turning to my aunt fie said: "How
old are the "goslings?" "Eight
days," she replied. "Well," he
continued, "I saw one of
those goslings ascend in a straight line
from that point of gravity and go
straight up." By the time he had fin
ished I said: "Kee-hee." And the
old gentlemen asked me how 1 got that
gosling into the window. Major Haq

Over-reading as well as over-study
Ls one of the evils of modern education.
The evil hsa been commented on by. ed
ucators for many years past, but the
multiplicity of book's and their growing
che-pne-s stand in the way of an per
manent remedy. Of course it goes with
out sluing that reading in itself is not
only harmless, but most beneficial. But
children too often read so much that
they tVl to assimilate what they read,
a-id thus the exercise is a dead los-.
Mu.-h fun has been made of "the man
of one book;" but he possessed at least
the virtue of knowing one book thor
oughlya virtue which many modern
readers do not possess. If .school chil
