Paid for Giving a Dog Away.

In a family where there are twq boys, one of them brought home a worthless cur, to the disgust of thq rest of the members. At last the eld-, est sister offered him a shilling if he would give the dog away. He assented and pocketed the coin. • When night came, prompted by curiosity, she asked the little fellow to whom he had given his dog, and was told, with charming naivete, “Oh, I have given him to my brother.”— Somerville Journal. The failure to recover bodies of persons drowned in Lake Winnepiseogee, N. H., is explained by the fact that quicksands exist in proximity to the cold springs at .the bottom of the lake.
