Bo* 316, Roanoke, Virginia. sheet of water in western Maine extend ing through four towns and lying part ly ill three counties. Tradition says it was named from the first settler, Joe Thomson. During his sojonrn he was seriously troubled by rats. He first pro vided himself with a stout leather bag of the capacity of four bushels. He then placed ail empty hogshead in his log hovel, leaving the bunghole open, through which he dropped a small quan tity of meat scraps and crumbs. Bag in hand ho retired outside to watch proceedings, peeking throngh a small crevice between the logs. Pres ently he espied an old, gray veteran ap proaching the bunghole. He takes a peep, then sniffs, looks cautiously about and then enters. He soon emerges from the hogshead and quickly disappears. In a trice he returns, followed by a drove amounting to hundreds, which one by one disappear through the bunghole. “Now,” chuckled Joe, "is ray fun,” ns he skipped calmly through the door and adjusted the open mouth of the bag to the small aperture, at the same time rap ping the hogshead with the toe of his boot, which produced a load, ringing sound. With lond squeals and fierce struggles the frightened rats began to scramble through the bunghole, all land ing in the bottom of tho bag. His first thought was to drown them by sinking the bag in the pond, but be ing in a rather gamesome mood, as was often the case, he concluded to put the bag in his boat, and after rowing to a good distance from the shore then release them, and with his ox goad have a good time knocking them in the head. Rowing out several rods from the shore and being in high glee at the thought of wreaking vengeance on the “varmints” which had given so mnch trouble, he withont hesitation untied the bag. expecting to see tho frightened crea tures at once leap into the water, but he quickly found himself mistaken. Instead of fleeing or even retreating the rats charged in a body, and with teeth and claws so severely lacerated his face, neck and hands as to cause him to leap from tho boat aftd swim for the shore, leaving the craft in the possession of his one time victims.—Lewiston Jour- Tlic t ..f yn -Lost.niKbt llio air wan still.

And the sun wan red as an ovc.u And the water with wind streaks cloven. A Spider's Rapid Work. When the common geometrical spider has made up its mind to spin a web, it commences operations by inclosing a cer tain urea with the foundation lines. To these radiating lines are fixed, generally about thirty in number, and all joining in the center of the snare. When the radii are finiahed the spinner proceeds to weave the concentric lines, stretching them from one radiating thread to an other, and forming them of the silk thickly studded with viscous drops. Starting from the center of the web, however, the first few concentric threads are without this peculiarity, the reason being that the spider likes to sometimes sit in the middle of its web, and uatural- ly does not care to be incommoded with the sticky matter which it prepares for the special benefit of its prey. When the snare is finished, a task which often does not occnpy more than forty minutes in spite of the complicated nature of the work, the spider weaves a cell in some secluded spot close at hand, connecting it with the center of the web by means of a special thread. This, by its trembling, gives intimation of the capture of any insect in the web, and also forms a pathway by which the snugly ensconced spider is enabled to proceed on an investigating expedition. —Cornhill Magazine. The Sen,, of Small. The eye is nsed only for seeing, and the car for hearing, but tho nose is one of the organs that serve a doable par- pose. it is not only the seat of the sense of smell, bnt was intended to be tho principal organ throngh which man shonld breathe. Its circuitous |iassages, warm and moist, protect the lungs by taking the chill from the inspired air and arresting irritating dust. The whole noso is not concerned in the act of smelling. Tho olfactory nerves, which alone take cognizance of odors, are sitnated in the apper third of the nasal chambers, out of tho lino of ordinary inhalation. For this reason we do not nsnnlly notice odors unless they are somewhat strong; but when we sniff —draw the air into the upper pnrt of the nostrils and hold it there for a few moments—we become aware of thefaint- eet scent.—Youth's Companion. “I must lake the Unit,” said Jeremy. “Mother, whatever befall tuc.

Cnvozza In Youth’s CorojMinlon. Out of Kilter. Kilter or kelter was an “Anglicism" long before it was an “Americanism.' Skinner, in 1071, has “Kelter: he is not yet in kelter, nondum est parutns.” It is also given in a reprint of Ray's collec tion of 1091. The k before i iwiinfs to a Scandinavian origin. Cf. D.m. kilto, to trass, tuck np. whence D kilt. Ilieta gives Swe<1. dial., kilter baud, a hand for holding np tucked np clothes; kiltra- sig, to gird up, their up, and fasten. The me ‘nphor is obvious enough. This word kelter, ns it slicuid tie spelled, is .given in Johnson’s Dictionary, and derived from the Danish ki lter, te gird. A quotation is given from liar row’s works, where the won! is used Bailey i:i Isis Etymological Dictionary derives it from the Latin cultura. Hull well ("Dictionary of Archaic and Pro vincial Words”) gives it us used in the east of England both as a substantive and as a verb. It is a word of i verv-day use in Surrey and Sussex, in the sense o) order or condition. The Rev W. D Parish, in his “Dictionary of the Sussex Dialect,” notices it in tho phrase, “This farm seems ill very good ’kelter.”' I have often heard it used in the same way, and anything that is out of condi tion is described as being “ont o’ kelter.” On reference to the publications of the English Dialect society it will be seen that the word is of very general nse throughout England. In the neighbor hood of Whitby it occurs as a verb and a substantive, and in the mid and eaBt Yorkshire glossaries also; it is used also in west Cora wall, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. In west Somerset, in Sheffield and in Huddersfield the word means money. These references will be suffi cient to show that tho expression is not an Americanism, but that the word has found, and still finds, a place in vernacu lar English.—Notes and Queries. for Infants and Children. “Oastovlals so vdl adapted to children that I recommend itaa superior loony prescription known to me."

The president of France is chosen by a majority vote of both branches of par liament sitting together as a joint as sembly, and his term is seven years. Usually, however, be is compelled to step down from office by pressure from parliament before his term ends. The constitution gives Mm the authority to select a ministry, which most comprise members of parliament; to conclude treaties with foreign nations, to appoint to the chief military and civil poets, to pardon offenders, and in concurrence with the senato to dissolve the chamber of deputies and bring abont a new elec tion. These are the chief powers of the president. The present executive—Car not—was elected on Dec. 8, 1887.—St Louis Globe-Democrat Not a Ilad Idea.
