sen much speculation among'
on HsV'the exact cause of the phe

At last aortunts the shaft bad reached a

to bd the greatest depth to which man

On a Philadelphia t train that came

from toe actions of a'handsome young

absorbed in iqpch other that they were
not separate for a minute the whole

platform in Baltimore he promenaded
np and down at her side, yet they never

people concluded that a honeymoon quar

Nobody doubted for an instant that
they were bride and groom. When they
got out here* to change cars for Rich

who knew toe man well, said: “Well, so

Ex-Governor Long, of Massachusetts,
possesses tho remarkable ability of recol
lecting what he has written without
reading it over even by himself, It is
said that daring bis most animated
speech he has in his mind's eye a vivid
impression of his manuscript eo that ho
knows where every page and every line
ends, and oven where there are inter
lineations.
Fowls hare undoubtedly a larger vo
cabulary than any of tho other domestic
animals; yet in half a day yon will proba
bly hear from them all the sounds that
they use in ordinary life. But anything
out of the ordinary is instantly expressed
in unusual sounds.
Possibly the most expensive dgare ever

said to hare cost $12,000.
Soundings in the Black Sea show that
