then very dense—and full of dents—
where you would poke your head out
of the window to see what was the
matter.
Children below us were making fog -
men, putting hats on them, and pipes
in their mouths. Men had fun press-

could look, until it caved in. We
heard it inmatedstuffed their bed ticksthat withlit,dasr it
made soft, springycouches to rest
upon, and better than straw and corn
cobs. It was the worst fog that you
ever attempted to shake a atiek at.
If you went to talk out ofdoors your
mouth would fill so full of fog that
you could spit it out only with great
difficulty. Merchants would sweep it
off the sidewalks, and shove] it away
high enough so that a man with a
plug hat could walk under it. You
could take a cross cut saw and saw it
very well. It isso deu:ethat we could

whether this is true or not, but 1 do

that is trite?'I doubted it, but I could
find no sailor who had ever seen a

RICA GROWING RICHER.
Near the close of 1885 there died
in New York city a citizen of that
place who left to his children a for- co

se .thick that we couldn't look far
enough back to see who he had got

A reliable Euglishmau told us that

Thames and sailed up town solely
through the fog. He said to this day
