Bat upou the porch of Janes' ciuutry storo,tryiiiR to keep cool, " this ii nothing at all towtaatFre seen ; IV* coolness, absolute frigity.Why, whi i) 1 lived ont iu the Cannibal

AitA degree* in the shade, they'd get outtheir nkates and begin to consider tbe proba-bilities of an ice srop."

"How bigb did it uste] t i get ?" aek'ed Maj.Potti

"Generally up to four or fire hundred inthe shade. Tbey never did tueir cooking withfires out there. Always baked their bread inthe sou. Liy a steak on tbe window-siil, andit would be done on one tide before you couldStick a fork into it to turn it over. Tbe waterwas hot, too. People never thought of tryingto get oold water to drink. Pat a leg of mat-too down a well and it'll come up boiled, andyou e mid pump mutton soap out of tbe wellfor two or three day.!. Tne first time I weutto swim in tbe ocean oat there I didu't knowabout it, aod I was nearly scalded to death.'

" Iu tbe ooean ?''" Ye», sir, in the Pacific Ocean. WUy, a

dog iu that country couldu't put dowu fourlegs at a time. H > would go on three leg*BO'S to give tbe other one a oliaoce to cool. Itwaa a common thing for horses to get theirlegs burned off clean up to the knees.

" Did they have uo cool weather at all'"" Ob, yen, of course, that waa in the rainy

seaaou. Tuen it would get very oold »ome-, times, aud this caused a ouriuus phenomeuoD.Tbe island I lived on was about eight milesIODR iu winter time, but tbe beat ofsummer was so iuteQHe that it would expand the inland to the ext -nt of about fourmiles, aud so she'd go, cxptnding and con-tracting from year to year in the most extra-ordinary manner. I know just after I wenttliera I bought a p l i o of twelve acre a of aman. It was summer time, aud I paid him somuch ao acre. When the cool weather cameI found that it watiu't more than half tuo sizeit otigbt to be, and tbe trees were crowded up.together so close that you ooulda't walkthrough them. Took advantage of me, tliuntn did. I ought to have bought iu tlia win-ter."

"Was it aprnliacsoil?'" Well, yes, when the season was good. In

real bot weather tbiugs were slow of .growing.But ordinarily my com would be betweenthree or four hundred feet high, and tuestalks from six to pine feet in diameter at tbebase. We oat it with axes. The ear* weregenerally about the size of a large lobster.There was a man over on one of the islands,II am ml Smith, who used to raise one turnip ayear, aud that was enough, because a uipgletnrilip would cover three-quarters of an acre.But one good Kr<>«iiiR tu-aeon Smith's turnipgrew BO fearfull) that it covered tint entireisland, and Smith had to move off ami go upon the aide of a volcano back of tiiH JJUCI .However, tbe turnip would'grow ; couldn't lu<stopped, yon know ; anrt it did grow untilfli ally it got so heavy that it suuk the i»Wud."

11 Did what?"" Suuk tbe entire- i-land, and that, you

I've known men who cnr"d themselvesin that way so that with a couple of days in asmoke-house they'd keep f&r two hundredyears, alive and good as ever." ^

"Alive?""Yes, alive. And evaporation was BO great

that I've seen the oc au fall one hundred andfifty feet under a bot sua until you oould wadetwenty mites from land.''

" Did yon ever do it ?" aiiked the major." Often. I've waded forty miles out."" I thought you said tbe water was boiling

hot."B >iline hot ? Well, I believe I—oh, yes,

of course, boiling hot Booietiraea, but—but, of icourse, I wore ray boots. N i, sir—if any mancatches me telling a lie I givu him leave tokick me on the spot."

Tuen np rose the major, a'id eK-vating. tli«toe of bis boot, he applied it to the rear eleva-tion of Aimer, and sent him whizzing out intothe street. Abner picked himself up.brnsltedthe dust off of bis trowsers, aud eomlug backto the porch smiling, be winked at tbe major,and s.nd : •

" Mnjor, you're thp quickest man to take «hint that I ever roet."

Then Ahuer borrowed a dime from Jones andwent away in search of a cooling beverage.

—We nominate Dennis Kearney for Com-missioner to go down and investigate the yeljow fever, with power to penetrate into thevery heart of tbe MI fee ted districts.

—How do those people at tbe seaside re-sorts who do not bathe in the ocean manageto keep clean? A familiar sign in oue'« hotelroom reads, "No washing allowed iu tberooms."

—When a rosy-looking girl backs up to astranger at a country dance and a<tks him towhack that moequito which is gnawing her be-tween the shoulders it is ao time to read upon Ctieaterfield.

A Brutal Joke.Another practical joker has made a record,

but is too modext to allow his nmnp to beknown. II > thought it would be exquisitefun to place a guut-powder c«p in a Mlow-miner'n pipe, and, acting on the impulne, IDserted ons of tliess articles in Tu>>s. Arrivey'adhudeeo. T.iat gentl'man, hiving c »'.-eluded Ins breHkfast, tilted the ttforesaid pipewith tobnoco, never suspecting its content^,and started to bis work iu the Consolidatedmine, getting on the cige in company withWra. L^guett.

Scarcely had hfl reached that point when anexplosion took pUce, blowing the pipe iuto athousand pieces and knocking Mr. Arrivey |down. Tne left niJu of hi* face aud neck was 'terribly lacerated, and fill -d with pieces of thepipe, and the sight of bis left eye is probablydestroyed. Mr. Liggett was also cut acrossthe forehead with a pn-oo of the pipe, receiv-ing qiiite a wound. Mr. Arrivey was broughtto town aud Dr. BUhop dressed his wounds.The man who pe'pttratej tbe trick ought to !be severely puuislied, and will be if hisidentity is discovered.—Eureka (Nov.) Leader

"There, I kDew he would come thi* morn-ing to inquire for your health, after lastuiflht'i dissipation, Kate I " exclaimed Jenny.

one hut tbo poor dependant, as he supposed,merely bowed, by way of acknowledging herpresence.

'Did you see my onueiu Juiiuy?" askedK»te. somewhat tartly.

"Y<*8, 0 yes ; I recognized ber," Baid BIr.Fitz Simmons, looking coolly at her as bespnk*.

"Well, then, why don't you sbake bandswith ber, as if you were glad to see her? Ithought that wHg city fa.<bion. Ain't it, Jen-uy V " turning to her.

Jenuy bit ber lip to hide a smile, aud thenanswered :—

"I believe so, cousin Kite ; but then peopleoftm omit the custom."

" Yes, 1 expect so ; I rather guess it's' onlyintimate friends who sbaku hands. Aiu't it,Mr. Fitz Simmons?"

"Yes, I think so," murmured tbe confusedgeutlemau, ''or those who are engaged."'

" But you shook my baud last uight," con-tinued tbe malicious, tormentor, " and—aud—we aiu't yet.'1

"Nobody knows what may be, most ador-able creatcbaw 1" wbigpen-d Mr. Fitz Sim-mons, in bis softest tones, ag be moved nearerber on tbe sofa.

"Ob, J«uuy, did you h.&r that—what Sir.Fitz Himmous juat said to me?" ixcl&imedthe wicked gul, not heeding poor Fitz Sim-mons' reddeuiui; face, aud faint whispers of"D»u't, don't, I beg of you 1 "

" HB called me ' an adorable creatcbaw,'and looked dreadful tender at me. Is it love,Jenny, to Ulk and look so? 'case I waut toknow if I'm made love at."

Jeuuy bad tamed away as Kate commenced(peaking, aud now stood at the piano with berback toward them. With t <ce cuuvutsed withlaughter, she bent over the music, uot ap-pearing to heed ber cousin's words.

Swallowing bis chagrin aud confusion (fortbe Bake.of "fifty thousand "), Mr. Fitz Sim-mons asked:— "

" D.i you sing, Miss Barton ? ''"Well, yes, I do sing s< me. I sing 'Old

Hundred,' and tbe ' Duxulogy,' and ' Qreeu-

fortably again in the large arm chair; then,mastering his avi rsiou to thefed bair aud

lover-like onloud ton's, tried to look veryKate.

Cut K*te was determined t» display berpowers of singing ; aud so, afttr a preliminaryhumming rf tin; tune, she favored him with" Old Hundred " and "Greenville," macb totbe apparent ploasnre of Mr. Fi'z Simmons.Just a» she finished, the d or-bill rang, andMr. Fitz Simmons, rising hastily, excusedhimself ou the plea tbat he bad business downtown, and mast tbeu leave, but ho should dohimself the honor of calling again on her verysoon; and with a tender pressure of the baudhe left her. Ou tbe steps be met Puilip Otis,who saluted him with—

"All, you've oeen taking time by the fore-lock, I reckon 1" aud then entered.

As tbe door closed ou the retreating figureof her admirer, K»te threw herself ubon thesofa aud burst into merry peals ot laughter,from which she was aroused by the entranceof tbe new sailer. She started up iiigconfu-sion; but, recovering iu a moment, smd,"Mr. Otis, I believe? I will call my cousinJenny," aud left the parlor.

As she spoke to him aud passed him ouleaving the room, Mr. Otis thought ber uot soawkward as she bad appeared ou the eveningprevious. He was interrupted at this pointby the appearance of Jenny Campbell, towhom be bad lost his beart ou that evening ;aud he was soou chatting pleasantly wit b ber.

"I believe tbe lady whom 1 met juet uowwas your cmain ?" he said. " I have nut y< tbeen presented to her."

" 0 yes ; she will be down directly," Jenuyreplied, and soon Kite made her appearai.cti;»ud notwithstanding tbat she coutinued toenact the country lass, Philip Otis saw that,despite tbe country tone and mauuers, shewas a girl of uncommon good sense andcharacter. Still,the poor cousin was more at-tractive in bis eyes than tbe heiress of fiftythousand, aud he left Dr. Campbell's morethoroughly in love with Jenuy than on theprevious evening.

AD hour later, tbe heiress aud tbe poorcousin sat together in their roam.

"Jenny,' exclaimed Kite, " t«U me if Ienacted my rob of * the country girl' to per-fection, for I thought Mr. Otis regarded me

land's Icj Mountains' Now, Jenny siugs aud somewhat closely, as though be suspectedplays on tbe pianuer beautiful, aud I'm goingto begiu to tike lessons right off. TJ.icle says1 must, to be fasbiouable, so I can play aforefolks when they ax me. But perhaps you'dlike to hear me sing* ? Zebedee Hall used toadmire to hear me, aud said I beat all tbegirls iu oar town ; but then I gaesx he was aflitterin' me, for be wanted to spark me awfulbad. Tbat was after I bad my f..rlit, left in«,you see," she added; " aud 1 tilled our folksthat I didn't want a fatmer—I meant to godown to tbe city to Uncle Campbell's, and seesomething of the world, aud get a city chap,mebbe, but about singing—shnuMn't youlike to bear me sing, Mr. Fitz Stmmous? Ifyou'll pitcu the tune, I guess I cau siug tbe'Doxology.1'1

" You must excuse me, Mi«8 Barton, bat Ido not sing the tone you meutioi," repliedthe geutleman, nervously.
