Amusing, Sketch Showing the Difilmalt7 of Working a New Patent. .4144••••••••••••••••••••• Like mast people, I haVe only one birthday a year. Susan intended to cel- ebrate the event by giving me a pres- ent. Susan is my wife, We had been married a year, but fortunehad not smiled upon us, and We Were terribly hard up. Consequently Susan's 'spend- ing made, was limited. • She ivas going to buy me an umbrel- la. The present was saved up for and talked about a good deal before the auspicious day. We went to the shop together to secure the gift. Susan's idea of the amount to be ex- pended - heaven bless her was, I think, about 81.00. The keeper of the umbrella shop. looked pained and con- .cerned at the idea of respectable cue- tomers daring to purchase one of hie cheap gingbams, • He had a $2.50 article, now, a really decent thing. We saw it. The handle was very plain. It did not please Susan so vouch as that of a S3 one produced simulta- neously. There was no ppshingto open it -the thing wawa: patent. There was no fumbling in a shower of rain to open this umbrella. .One, had only to release a little spring in the hatidle,and -the umbrella opened ltsielf half way. This last' luxury mampletely won over Susan. The .bargaln was 'clinched. . We left the shop are] in arm Sifsan proud and joyous that she, had been able to make me "such a beautiful birpday present" -one so much' nicer than she had at first intended. On the way the .elements, as if bent on pleasing Susan, sent us a sharp shower of rain. Her eyes dilated with --pleasure and triumph as she produced the umbrella. • "Let me open it!" she cried vivacious'- , ly as the raindronn• • came pattering down. She bandied the spring,andi lol the umbrella partly opened of its* own accord.' •Efow ingenious! TO run It up to the top of -the stick was the -work of n'secOnd, and we sheltered Finugly: un- der its ample caziopy, side biside, arm in arm. • • The rain descended in torrents. We had not far :to go. The district railway station was only 100 yards ahead. Yet, before we *Peed there, the silk.of the umbrella Was' soaked " through and through by the deluge. We were just Iii time for a train, With half a minute to spare. We did not *trouble to shut the:Umbrella down until well Inside the ticket office. ' The thing Would not shut. Susan de- clared it was because I did not under - Stand' the patent. She begged me to leave it to her while I got the tickets. • I Squeezed my way to the ticket office, paid the fares and returned to find Susan stiff struggling. We had not a raomentto spare. • .1 tackled the umbrella myself, edging meanwhile oward.the striii;dase. The wretched thing would not go down, ha matter how I coaxed it. Susan was no* at the_gate, advising me to desist from my struggles in the gangway, saying it would be perfectly easyto get the thing down on the plat- form. The train was at a standstill,s, all the passengers had jumped in, includ- ing Susan, who urged and' encouraged Me to morefrantic efforts, standing in- side the door of a' carriage, while I re- mained writhing upon the platform. "Step In there! • Step in therer cried the guard. I Stepped in, Still dinging to the han- dle of the open .aboinination. Susan was purple With agitation. I managed by a dexterous maneuver to get the handle of the umbrella through the window and shut' the door, leaving the open canopy spread over the window. What little light there was was thus prevented penetrating tbe dim interior of the carriage. • "Here,. 1 say,• put that ninbrellt downl" came a voicefrom the plat- form. As if I hadn't been trying to! Was I not trying at that very moment with all ly might? The door was Wrenched forcibly open with a jerk, vehich Shot me out on to the platforM. Susan was compelled to Jump out after me, and there we were -on the platform, already late, left be- hind, with the obnoxious thing wide open, dripping wet ' and obstinate as °Ver. The, train oteitmed out ,of the station. "The next one will be in 15 ' utes!" cried Susan, half in team "Yon can shut the thing now, surely! There in plenty of time. Don't fuse. And • Door Ted will be waiting on the door. step in the pouring rain, with no one to let him in." Everything was tried, short of jump- I ing upon the donfOunded thing, bnt all to no purpose. "We shall have to leave it in the cloakroom, George," she cried. "Leave It just as it Is. Don't break it. You can fetch it tomorrow," she suggested. TJU OinsiTOX 'ISTEWSMOORD. We explained the difficulty to the cloakroom porter, who, with much muscle and even less ingenuity WA ourselves, attempted the impossible feat of closing the horror. * 0 * * "You mud fetch that umbrella," said Susan on the following day. "The por- ters might do soma damage to it in that cloakroom." The surly cloakroom porter recogniz- ed me. There was an open umbrella, Just as I had left it, standing .itt a cor• ner. "Why, baven't you Out the thing?" I exclaimed testily. "Try iti" be answered laconically. I did try. It was as bad as ever, "Oh, bang the thingi" I cried, shall have to walk the wretched thing home as it isi" Reader, have ydu ever diseovered yourself carrying an open umbrella In the street, in a fit of absentminded- ness, some time after 11, shower has tin - !shed?

Ouddenly-•bi I A loud shout of derision, The um- brella was nearly knocked out of my hand. The remains of a large cauli- flower ,rolled from the top of my um- brella. For the first time I ventured to look round. Imagine my horror at bebop- ing that r was followed by at least 20 street urchins! Twenty mouths were wide open ,with derisive laughter, emit- ting ear splitting yells. I turned and fled. Don't•think that I ran. Oh, dear, ncll It would take more than a crowd of boys to make, me run away. Yet I fear that I hurried some. what. • . At last there was my house, only zoe yards awayi Susan „should presently bear a little pitain speaking upon the absurdity of purchasing patents that tveuld not work. She happened to be at the window and saw a noisy crowd approaching from the distance, With an open. tun- ' brella in their midst. A, horrible fear that I had been run over or that some- thing equally terrible' had happened brought her to the front door step, so that when 1 arrived she was there ready. to take the umbrella from my aching hinds. ' "Why didn't yon put it down .before you started, dear?" She asked quite nicely and gently, "Why didn't I put it &mil? Why" - But what was the good of. similes? The urchins formed a Immieircie round the . doorway. . • • "Let me shut It, deari" she :mid, tak- ing it with all' a woman's tenderness and pressing her finger upon the spring in the orthodox fashion. • Lo and behold, the umbrella shut up!

A Grand Spectacle to lie Seen In tbe Petitoodisto River. The bay of Fundy is known to the world chiefly on account of its tides, which rise to an immense height, 70 feet having been recorded, As these tides reach, the head of the bay and are fore. ed up the gptitcodiac river the condi- tions are such as to form the front into an almost perpendicular wall of water termed a "bore." This formation is a grand and exciting spectacle, and Inter- est • In the phenomenon is increasing. Large numbers of American tourists, El& entific men and others visit the locality to admire its effects and study its causes. ' About 1,9 miles /rota the mouth of the Petitcodiac, at a point commonly knOwn Its the "bend," the river takes a turn al- most at right angles to its previous coarse.' Immediately above the bend. and on the line of the Intercoltinial railway is idtlated the town of Moncton. The run .of the rising tido fist breaks into a bore at Stony creek, eight miles below Mone- tt:* . At first it le scarcely noticeable,. hut ' it gradually grows until at the bend it about reaches its maximum height: The. 'wharfs of Menden are thus the most . popular positions from • which .to view this interesting phenomenon. The average interval from thearrival of one bore to the arrival of the next is about"12 hours and 25 minutes, so that the average retarda- tion from dart:: day la about :50 minutes, But "his boreship" is erratic, and the daily retardation may be. anywhere from 40 minutee to an hour. • , • The best tithe to 'see the bore Is during • the full moons of August, September and •October; and if the Visitor would See this natural. weinder in its most beautifulas- pect let him choose a bright mdonlight night rather than the daytime. Under. such favorable circumstances a crowd ,of 400 Cr:500 people one day 'test fill 'Wit- nessed the -arrival of the!i• bore. The 'schedule time for its arrival given by .the local newspapers was 9:20 'o'clock.' At 9:20 the expectant crowd' at Moneten's wharfa heard a noise easily distinguished as the rush ot distant patters. This grew louder and louder Aurthe bore approached and rounded the bend, and. at 0:22; two. minutes later than the schedule time, there appeared In full view of the spec - More an almost perpendicular wall of .
