“Don’t you mean one spool of No. 60

zling over the matter. “ Maybe that’s
it,” dubiously responded the boy. “ I
guess you’d better go back home and find
out.” The boy departed, but returned
in a moment with a satisfied look around
his mouth and explained: “Say, it
won’t make a. bit of difference which
way we have it; for mother said you’ve
to charge it, anyway." '

A Queer Story.
The'villsge of Speer’s Cove, St.’ J ohn’s
county, New Brunswick, is excited. A
little girl there died recently of acci
dental poisoning, and when the}; tool:
her bodnyrom the bed to lay it out, they
found words and sentences written on
the sheets and pillow cases not with
anything like ink, but apparently as the
result of- pressure as though made by a
nail or some similar instrument, on the
linen or cotton, end after a time the
'most of them gradually disappeared.
One man who visited the house says he
was told by the parents that on a bend—
sge round the child’s ' jaw were the
words : “ Mother, be kind to Julie, for
she-is next.” On the sides of the two
pillow slips were sentences: “Mother
and Hannah, come to me and kiss me ;”
“Kate, tell them me wants them ;”
‘5 Mother, ask Kate to fix my grave and
love her morethnn ever.” Spread under
the pillow on which the dead child lay
was a. sheet with the impress of . her
form, and: over it n dove and the impres
sion of a; woman, the Virgin. This im
pression was visible, the man says,
:through four folds of the sheet. There
were other words, figures, expressions,
some of them of o. devotional kind.
To KEEP om Fst.-—A lady writes"
to the Minnesota. Farmer: “For three
years I have lived in'tow'n. and during
that time my sitting-room has been free
from flies, three or four only walking
about my breakfast.table while all‘my
neighbors’ rooms were crowded. I often
congratulated myself on my escape, but
never knew the reason of it until a few
doys ago. I hnfie had occasion to move
my goods to another house while I re
mained for afew days longer. Among
other things moved were two geraniums
and calceorlaris which stood in ‘my win‘
dows, being 'nlwnys open to' their full ex
tent, top and bottom. The boxes Were
not gonehnlf an hour before my room
was as full of ilics as those around me.
This, tome, was a new discovery, and
perhaps may serve to encourage others
in that Which is always a source of plena
ure-—nnmely. window gardening. Mig
nonette, planted in long. shallow boxes,
placed on the window sill, will he found
excellent for this purpose.”
A family of young ladies, who reside
up town, so often entertained their com
pany on the front stoop, that they have
gained the title of step-sisters.

Here . “Doc” Riley rose and said:
“Bill, I left my. gun at home, because I
knowed how hard it was for yer to get

“Go ahead," said Bill.
“ War thet ere mine owner," con

Here the preacher was interrupted by
the sharp crack of a revolver[ Trouble
