Last Saturday, when starting to thresh at (iso. Thomson'a, Zetland, the boiler of Leggatt and Carriek's machine ex. ploded, causing a general stampede, Luckily no person was hurt. Steam indicators and safety valves need great care. W. Wellwood, of West Wawanoab, Wm. Roach, of East Wawanosb, and. Thos. Todd, of Sc.

Instantly he trashed up td her, and, throwing his arras about her neck gave her a good kiss, explaining that he could not help it, she reminded him so much of his best and most expensive Rife, and while the com- pany thought it a very odd thing to do, everybody could understand that he was a homesick man and nobody minded It in the least. LEAN-TO OF OOTHAMtTES. New Yorkers 'Bo+utd to Prop Against 1 Something When They Stop , r i in the Street to Talk. "I woneer," said the man from Min- nesota, "why so many New York people have the lean-to habit? It makes them took very Queer. Wben in motion their bodies lean backward or forward or sideways like an animated inclined plane, and when they are to repose they flop still worse. "No matter where you stop to talk to a New York man, he is bound' to lean against something. In stores he leaus against counters, in saloons he braces himself up against the bar, in hotels the pillars and chairs contribute to his sup- port, in restraurants he leans on the ta,- bie, and itt the street against the walls of projecting buildings. And the wom- en are just as bad as the 'men. Nobody seems to have $punk enough to stand up straight. "Perhaps tiff people are are tired, or it may be that they are seeking a grace- ful pose. At any rate, they flop on all occasions. The proprietors of some of the shops evidently deprecate the uni- versal tendency to lean against some- thing, and wish • to discourage it, for they have distributed signs about the stores warning customers not to Iean on the counters, but, so tar as 1 can see, these notices are only a bluff. At any rate, New Yorkers don't heed them; they keep on leaning just the same." ; et" Pleating Ocean Life. ' 'A recent British scientific expedi- tion discovered tbat the Indian ocean floating life is exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 7,200 feet in seas 15,000 feet deep. by floating life Is meant animals which form the food of whales and deep ocean fish and which, up to the present, have been belierved to live on or very close to the surface. A variety of enormous moulds were fished out, as Well ae jellyfish, and prawns fully six Ificbott long. Some of these latter were blind, while others had "huge eyes, but nearly all of them bad phosphor- escent organs, which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where almost total darkness prevails. The blind varieties had enormous feelers or antennae, soma of them extending to twice the length of their bodies. Whittis the t?se!
