however, the guards became very
cautious, and for some time kept us

Then my turn came, and l started

say: . ....-t " a

Although badly scared l kept on
moving cautiously along, grunting
and rooting. ... .,..... t .;

of shot I am with a brick," the sen
tinel again said ; and whia came
the rock, striking me in the side and
knocking me breathless. , 1
' When I revived a little the guard
was bending over me. ' .
"Wood " he said, "I struck harder
than I intended 1 knew it was yon
all the time, and thought I'd- teach
you a lesson ; now, go back to camp
and don't try it again."

conversing on all kinds of topics.
Two men were in 'a seat talking,
when one said, 'Nine o'clock is a later
breakfast than I am accustomed to.
I. always eat breakfast at seven." The
other man, a splendid looking fellow,
said after a yawn, "I never eat break
fast till ten o'clock" "you must take
it pretty leisurely about getting ' to
business," and the nice young fellow
said. "Business! I have no business.
I have nothing on earth to do, and
never had s thought of doing' any
thing, and never had a care.-' I have
an income." Everybody that' was
within hearing turned and looked at
the great strapping fellow .who had

does it by suspending a large copper
plate bv silken cords. This plate is
charged heavily with electricity,
which bangs down like a bag, under

use ot arttennus acid gas, which gives
it a green color. The formation is a
miniature cyclone as perfect as auv
started in the clouds. - It is funnel
shaped and whirls around rapidly.
rasing this plate over a table, the

cents, pens, pith balls and other ob
