He just puts the new hat on top of the old one. The other day an amusing scene was wit- nessed at the Munich rallway station. A peasant who had bought a new hat and a bow! containing several goldfish found himself hustled by the crowd surging at the entrance to one of the platforms. In the crush the bowl was broken, and the fish fell out. For a moment the peasant knew not what to do. Suddenly he made up his mind. He snatched hls two hats from his head, and, picking up the lively fish, he put them Inside the old hat, which he then filled with water at the near- est water tap. Carrying the improvised aquarium, the ingenious peasant en- tered his train smilingly, but very care- fully.—Munich Cor. London Globe, Facing a Waterspout. ‘What it means to encounter a water- spout In the south seas is described by Beatrice Grimshaw: “First of all, a black trunk, like an elephant’s, began to feel blindly about in midair, hang- ing from a cloud. It came nearer and nearer with uncanny speed, drawing up to itself as it came a colossal cone of turbulent sea until the two joined together in an enormous black pillar some quarter of a mile broad at the base and probably a good thousand feet high, uniting as it did the clouds and the sea below. Across the darken- Ing sea, against the threatening copper crimson sunset, came this gigantic hor- ror, waltzing over troughs of torn up water in a veritable dance of death, like something blind, but mad and cruel, trying to find and shatter our fragile little ship.” TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
