Bo they nailed on and on; and It rained and rained, after the manner 3f the summer of lid, till Noah became perturbed in spirit and the passengers discontented. All the good stories bad been told over and over; the supply was limited; all the old songs sung over and Over again; and quarrels and disputes were the order of the day. The qualities of the dove as an advance agent were Mill unknown, and Noah worried not a little as to the direction and Anal destination of the ship. At last a council was held, and my ' Lord Snake, in a moat modest and be-- -. coming manner, Intimated he had some J experience In sailing and would be pleased to see Noah at the cloae of the meeting. The Interview took place. The Serpent owned that matters looked bad for the occupants of the ark, but assured Noah ho could extricate them from their difficulties and bring them safely to land on one condition only. This offer at first appalled Noah, but after some hours of thought and very rough . weather he called his Immediate family together and laid the case before them. The Snake had consented to act as all In one a regfor the trifling reward ular Pooh-Ba- h of a wife. He had taken a violent fancy to one of Noahs daughters, the youngest, a beautiful girl, and demanded her hand aa the price of hla efforts; the reward not to be given till they were all on land, high and dry. To cut the story short, this was agreed to.

Jim Berry was hunting up In Maine about forty miles north of Greenville, when he and hie friend came suddenly upon the carcase of a caribou which a bear woo eating. The bear made itself scarce, much to Jims regret, ae he wanted to kill a bear. Without saying anything to bis friend, he left camp the next day and started for the carcase, intending to watch It In the hope that the bear would return. He waited and watched till about S o'clock in the afternoon, when he began to think of returning to the camp. A soft footfall back in the woods, the crafty step of some wild animal.

He leveled his buckshot gun and pulled the trigger when tbe wabbling niuxzln was pointed in what he thought waa the right direction. The beast wrut down, and Jim started for it. Then he stopped with his mouth open. The beast had leaped to Its feet and Jumped sideways with its buck up. Jim knew the yell, and he also recognized the humped back. It was a wounded lynx spoiling for a fight.

Shs la a great puiruu of all who are clever; genius especially appeals to her artistic temperament and she delights to surround herself with cultured people. I like to talk to clcvt-- r men or women; they are so large minded and view life from such a different standpoint to people who never think fur themselves but let their friends form their opinions for them.

Mrs. Paget is the only child of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens, who was remarkable for being the only American who had a salon. It is from her that she inherits her keen sense of humor, splendid vivacity and appreciation of talent. Her conversation sparkles with epher she surprises with igrams; rapid flights from grave to gay; she Is always original and at In times her outspoken daring frankness against pretense of any kind. "I am very fond of society and enjoy all the pleasures of life. The opera is one of my most cherished amusements; music I delight in. Oh, yea! I am fond of dancing, she added, gayly, aa I referred to the surprise party she and Lord Charles Montagu organised at the duchess of Devonshire'! ball.

She said: my hard work here, for I am certain to be undisturbed. There Is so much to be thought of. I have a great amount of correspondence to keep up in France hnd other count Tit's, where I have many friends, and I have my properties in America to manage. Successful as Mrs. 'Paget Is socially, she also excels in her business capacities. She Is very practical, as well as very learned: and. having a great share of shrewdness, a person must be very sharp to impose on her. One of her most generous enterprises Is the system she has organized for looking after the wives of the officers In her husband's regiment, who marry without permission. These poor vomer, have no accommodation in the barnu-ka- , and when the regiment is sent away there is uo provision made for them by the military authorities. Mrs. Paget sees that they want for nothing; her sympathy large-hearte- d is greatly appreciated, not only by reason of the help she gives, but the way In which she gives It. A liberal supporter of the charities In the land of her adoption, Mrs. Paget does not for-gthose in the land of her birth, her Interest In which Is both practical and generous.

Her pretty, clever girl promises to bo a worthy daughter to her brilliant, gifted mother. The oldest boy is at Eaton; two small boys twins complete the family. Col.

All kinds of dishea are new being prepared of peanuts, soup being especially recommended. It Is made as split pea soup is made, soaking the peanuts over night. Peanut sandwiches are said to be excellent, made by pounding the skinned nuta and spreading thickly on slices of buttered bread. Mayonnaise dressing may be mixed with the nuts or grated cheese.

Science is over adapting materials from the vast laboratories of nature to practical use. We have almost arrived at a rediscovery of malleable glass. At all events, glass is now ranked among our textile fabrics. In Venice a manufacturer is turning out bonnets by the thousand from glass cloth. They have the shimmer and brilliancy of silk and are of nearly any color. They ' are Impervious to water. For a long time in Russia had existed a tissue manufacture from the fiber of a peculiar fllmentous stone from Siberia. By some process It is shredded and spun into a fabric, soft to the touch and of exquisite pliability, durable in the extreme. When soiled, as it Is by Ore, it is simply subjected to heat sufficient to drlvo out all the dirt. In the case of the glass silk, however, it will not otand such extreme heat.

William Kroklnosky wanted the pipe, and as none of the crowd had any money, he, with others, offered to trade things for it. He offered a pair of boots, hie breast in tbe Empire mine, or a Davy safety lamp, but none of these things tempted Maklinsky. Kroklnosky finally said: "Well, If you give me the pipe I will give you my wife. Maklinsky agreed to this and the following paper was drawn up: I sell my wife to Stanley Maklinsky for a pipe. I will have nothing to do with her again. He can do what he likes with her. Each man signed this, and Krokin-ik- y agreed to deliver the wife next day. Mrs. Maklinsky, who Is somewhat more Americanised than her husband, objected vigorously to the proposed plan, and told him that she could have him (crested If he married another woman. Maklinsky, finding that a second wife would be a dangerous and embarrassing encumbrance, searched about for a chance to trade her off. It waa not long before he met George Kopchlnekl, a young miner. Tbe latter readily agreed to pay (10 for the woman, and paid (3 down, and promised the balance In monthly Installment. He waa not to get a wife tso easily, however.
