Pond snails, which aro sometimes found alivo in logs of mahogany from Honduras, possess wonderful endin - - auve. Specimens carried from Egypt to Paris packed in sawdust have arrived uninjured. Other lands have j been experimented with by shutting j them up in pill boxes and dry hags ! for tlx or seven years, but have sar- | vived. The limit of their vitality is yet to ho ascertained. Land snails in cold climates bury themselves in the ground or under dead leaves in | winter. la tropical regions they be- ' come torpid during the hot season. When about to start in on a, period of sleep, they seal up their shells with a close fitting door, which sometimes I is a shield of thin, transparent nmI cus and in other eases an opaque j membrane as thick as a visiting card, j Behind this the animal constructs other walls, which servo liko-somany | partitions to protect it-against prolonged cold or dryness. It is believed that just as the seeds of plants aro distributed by the winds so likewise ; the eggs of snails are scattered abroad on tho breezes, thus disseminating their species. They aro very prolific animals. Some of the great laud snails of tho tropics, which live on trees and weigh a pound apiece, lay eggs that look strikingly likut ibsoof pigeons, being quite as large. The eggs are deposited among decaying vegetation, the heat of decomposition Latching them. —Providence Journal. — One of Stcmic<1y*K Pranks. The late Harry Kennedy, the ventriloquist, used to write stories with such titles as “A Life In the Circus," “Brothers of the Ring,” etc. But Kennedy's great power was his gift of ventriloquism. It was a constant source of wonder and amusement to his friends. Even so accomplished a comedian as Frederick Leslie could not always detect the ventriloquist’s work until he was himself the victim of i t. At a midnight reception once tendered to Leslie lie was persuaded to sing ins celebrated song of “Killahce," and Kennedy was in the room. In the middle of the second chorus, during which he twirled a short blackthorn. Leslie was completely broken up by hearing, as lie supposed, the chairman, Colonel Cockeriil, cry out in a tone of agony; “Great heavens, Leslie, you’ve blinded me for life!" Leslie stopped hastily to apologize, and when he found the supposed blinded man us much astonished as ho was entirely forgot the words of the song.—New York Times. Alankaki Glaciers. Mr. TI. F. Reed, in his public lecture on “Glaf-ier Bay, Alaska," says that Glacier buy is the most accessible region in which to see large tidewater glaciers. There aro eight gla•ciers which discharge bergs into its waters. Tho largest of these is Muir glacier, which drains an area of about 800 square miles. It is moving with a maximum velocity of about seven feet a day and is continually discharging large icebergs from its end. Its fluctuations have been great within recent times. One or two hundred years ago it extended, in common with the other glaciers of the hay, 20 miles below its present ending, and not long before that the glaciers were so small that valleys now barren and bleak were occupied by large forests.

The Iai)ll the Hook Tot's, of V. hero “Xtirro Shalt !to No Morn Sen." 1 Ami there wus no mere sea.—Revelation ssi, 1. What a strango mystery the oe?an is! Soniotlmcs it holds your little craft as tenderly as a mother holds her child, mid j'ou wonder that the charge of caprice can be brought against it. At other ! times it is like an angry ogre who has a tyrant’s power and uses it i,ko n tyrant. ! It is a marvelous sight, a spectacle of 1 thrilling in it; aificenco which makes i he ! blood tingle, to stand on iho beach ut 1 such a liuio and watch tho serried colI mans of white capped rolb-rs dash Ihemselves to pieces on the sands. They veI mind you of Napoleon's army at Waterloo, which had wandered ovtr Europe with victorious banners, which dreamed of no force which could resist its progress, but stub.only found itself face to I face with its master, and then, with tinI controlled madness, threw itself to death 1 as well as to 'qfeat. The huge array of : white capped tnonnrch.'i, thinking tli'-m-i reives invincible, attack the shore with ! ferocious energy and pound them solves I to spray. The heart beats wildly ns this | great battle between.tea and land tills the air with thunder, and poet and i painter como from far to witness the conflict and describe its glories with pen | and brush. But how cruel tho ocean can be when i it catches our craft at a disadvantage! Wind and waves in unholy alliance, a compact of death, make the world's cheek blanch with horror as the work of destruction goes on. These twin giants seem to bo moved by a common hatred of whatever floats, and as though every vessel was an intruder on their domain . tear it to pieces and doom it to disaster. Tho sails are cat into tatters, their masts are torn away as though tho rigging were made of pack thread, and the huge hull is either sent to tho bottom or thrown high on the beach in disdain. The sun in very pity creeps behind tho veiling clouds for awhile, and when it shines again, after tho waves have subsided and the tempest has spent itself, the coast is strewn with wrecks and many a brave sailor lies with upturned face on the an ads. That was srd news which flashed over the wires one Thursday morning. One story followed on the heels of another until disaster seemed to be multiplied by itself, and each account was more pitiful than the hist. A fisherman outrode tho gale for awhile and then went down with all hands; a sturdy freighter off Hattcrus was dismasted, sprang a leak and sank, leaving only one survivor to tell the tale: scores of lesser craft were torn from their anchorage, and the Jerse shore was literally stows with wreckage. Other vessels which had managed to outlive the hurricane were towed into harbor, either tho captain or part of tho crew missing. The book of Revelation tells us that in that other country from whose bourne no traveler r 'turns ‘-there shall bo no more s;ca,” an 1 on this Sunday morning we breathe •>. sigh of relief over the statement. Wo can dispense with its magnificence if wo may ho rid of its dangers. It bus devoured million i of property and is the most populous cemetery on the planet. When tho ecu, gives up its dead, a countless multitude of the lost will reappear. But wo are specially impressed with the lesson which the great storm emphasises—namely, tho uncertainty of life. On the ocean tho unexpected happens more frequently than elsewhere. At one moment a cloudless iky and a musical Tipple along tho vessel’s side. The long roll lifts tho waft, which lazily yields to the rhythmic motion of, the waters. Bur danger in in ambush, and after a little the puff of wind grown stronger, tho long roll is plauiwd with a while crest, tho tempest sounds its trumpet, and the rigging. like the strings of an leoliau harp, emits a mournful note like that of r dirge. In another half hour the whole artillery of nature is tit work, tho moaning vessel is thrown on her beam ends and creaks and groans its though crying for mercy. In another hour there is nothing visible except some struggling sailor clinging to a spar. However, death has many ways of achieving its purpose. Rot on the lieu alone, but on tho land, it does its cbuiy stint, and it behooves ns to remember that sooner or later it will have something to say to ns. "All men may die, but i shall live," is the dream .of heedlessness. "All men must die, and therefore 1," is the fact that is to be recognized and prepart I for. But we can become indifferent oven to this "last enemy.” It is not the glum indifference of desperate de pair, but the cueQrfnl indifference of perfect 1 f.d:h. If we have no place to go to, it i-i hard to contemplate our exit. But if there i •• a better place / a residence in which will he added happiness, we may even shake hands with Death, tell him that our latchstring is always out and he will be welcome whenever ho sees (it: to come. It is the fear of taking a leap in. i.iau.jrk that bids ns pause. But if wo are sure of taking a leap into the light wo can easily let go.our hold on this rugge 1 .he and drop into t.-e t-l'o >•> cmne. Too sox

'SAM HOUSTON'S PRACTICAL JOKE. | He. Sti>g|>e<l -test la Time to Save His Own Life. It was some time in tho forties, not long after Sam Houston had come to the senate. The great Texan was at-1 tended by a faithful black from Vir-! giniu. bearing the distinguished mi me of Richard Henry Lee. Richard proved himself a good body servant »u nil things save one. He attended faithfully on every | want of his eccentric master, who was keeping bachelor’s quartern. But 1 no argument was sufficiently porsua- j sive to induce Richard Henry Lee to keep the rooms in order. A general air of slothful neglect marked the surroundings of their domestic cstah- j Jishment. and time and again Hons- [ ton threatened to have Richard flayed ami his blue!: hide hung over the back yard fence ns a frightful example to all evildoers. Things run on in this way until one day Houston returned to his rooms from the senate-and found the condition of affairs at home so bad that ho 1 determined then and there to teach his flunky a good lesson. Ho deliberately locked the door, and without saying a word crossed over to a table where he kept: his pistol Case, removed two pistols, loaded them, handed one to Richard and took tho other himself, "Now, Richard Lee,” ho began in a low voice that foreboded ill. "you stand in that coAier while I take my position in this, opposite you, face to face, man to man, pistols in, hand. You have betrayed my confidence I and trampled upon my feelings until patience has ceased to be a virtue. I have reasoned and pleaded with you to maintain iny rooms in that state of cleanliness to- which, as a free born, i Texan. 1 am accustomed, and you have basely ignored my wishes inthe premises and have gone on in your slothful, shiftless ways without regard either to my feelings or my comfort. "Now, you infernal scamp, I have made up my mind to kill you. I could do so without giving you a show for your life, but absolute fairness shall distinguish the method of your taking off. Get into your place, and when 1 drop ibis red bandanna handkerchief shoot! If you kill me. so he it. I forgive you now. If I kill you, it won’t make any difference anyhow. You are good for nothing, and your removal will be a blessing to society. Remember, however, that no man ever faced me with a pistol in his hand and lived to tell it.” With ashen face Richard Henry. . who. despite his negligence, loved his master most devotedly, took hiastand . in the corner assigned him and mechanically followed Houston's- motions The Texan tool: a handkerchief out of his pocket, which beheld aloft as a signal, and then raised his pistol with the other hand to a levei ; with his; lackey’s heart. ! As be did so nn in voluntary smile ; flitted across his face, and instantly ■ Richard dropped his pistoi, while his face spread out into a huge smile. "1 say, Mars Sam." be shouted in a transport of rejoicing, "I thought yu‘ raly meant it. but yo’ just pokin fun at me. Goramity,” be added, with a sigh of relief, "it makes me shiver to think how near yo' was to death. Dat smile was all cat saved yo' life.” i Houston told the story as a good joke on himself, assuring.his hearers that he was positive Richard would have killed him if he had carried the joke a hairbreadth further. —Washington Post. The Interviewer’* Friend. Lymau J. Gage, the great financier of Chicago, is the interviewer's friend. He is never backward in the discussion of public matters, and he freely discusses questions of finance. Unlike many finical men, Mr. Gage never wants to see what has been written. He takes it for granted that editors do not engage the services of dolts for the important work that is done in the newspaper profession, and he has probably never regretted speaking out and trusting to the discernment and ability of the man who has been sent to him. —Chicago Post. Kiwtiiis the ilihle. Georgia's 'criminal superior court has discontinued the kissing of tho Bible hi the administration of oaths. Judge Chirk, in explaining the order to that effect, says: "Holding up the right hand is the more convenient form. Then the kissing of the book is a very nasty thing. I have heaid of persons catching disease in that way. ” —Philadelphia Ledger.
