Still more unprecedented was it n for a potent, grave and reverend senior to have any share in the mischief. Jfet, , only three nights before commencement D the students " made things howl," and Tom Anstruther was head and front of ^ the offending. They nailed up over the chapel door the sign, "To Providence and way stations," stolen from the rail- n road. They serenaded obnovious mem- . bers of the faculty in terms anything but flattering. They 1 uilt a huge bon-1 fire on the campus nnd indulged in a " promiscuous son# and dance perform- ? ance around it. 0 In the midst of the uproar there was the cry of "Faculty! faculty!'' followed 7 by an instant hush. The students scattercd in all directions, Anstruther as " fast sis any?faster, indeed, when he s found himself closely followed. His particular pursuer appeared to be one of the younger and more active of the pro- h fessors, who quite caught the spirit of ' the chase. Tom found it impossible to g shake him oil'. Was the valedictorian a of the graduating class to be caught thus vi ignominously? An open basement window pave him p an inspiration. He sped past it; then, P. doubling cleverly on his foe, sprang through it and laughed to hear his loot- c steps grow fainter in hot pursuit up the s street. Upstairs Lotta Desmond wa3 brush- p inr out lipr nrettv brown hair DreDara- d tory to retiring. On her daintily-frilled I o toilet-table, looking oddly out of place, | c lay Cousin Jim's revolver. There had d been a great many jokes about that re- 1 volver. Her uncle and cousin had sol- b emnly installed Lotta as man of the house during their absencc. Jim had c reminded her of the exploits of brave g ^ # Mrs. Brown and plucky Mrs. Peters, as recorded by the Daily Chronicle. The b first of these ladies had, alone and unarmed, held a burglar captive until heip y came. The second, under like circum- d ? stances, had completely routed two des- v perate villains. And Lolta had demanded Jim's pistol p and declared that she only longed for a u chance to emulate their heroism. And '. Jim had promised to watch the papers for a similar mention of during Miss Desmond. Sj Lotta smiled when her eyes fell on ' the pistol, lor as yet no opportunity for . . .-glory had con;e to her, and Jim froulti ? ' be home to-morrow. Just then her aunt came into the room, fancvine, ps she had tancied every night : sinceTTtr husband's departure, that she " heard a noise, and would dear Lolta, . wfio was so l'ear.ess, mind going down- " stairs to investigate?'' " So Lotta thrust her little bare feet into b slippers, threw on a wrapper and sallied R forth, pistol in hand. ? y.f - ' " Aunt Lucy detained her with a last . word -in case it should be any one, to ? , Mother know immediately; but other- 1 : * *wisc not to disturb her. as she was ex- ? tremely fatigued. * - ? tftifcu - j: ii,? 0 yy mi a uiui rtx'uuei/iiuu uini* tuu ' t,. dining room window had not been p > ' closed, t lie young giil made lur noiseless *l > ' way thither at once. The pas had been 1 putout aDd a miserable candle lelt burn- ? ing. What Lotta saw by its dim light .c [y _ w:is a tall young man, rather roughly clad. (Alas! Tom, usuilly something of a s> * dandy, had that nig lit donned his poor- l! 'est array, his hair disordered, his , clothes grime d with dust and .i oot, from . which not even his lace had escaped, I! coolly examining her uncle's silver. L Spirit of Airs, llrown and Mrs.?the , 'other lady?inspire her. " " Drop that or I lire!" _ . Tom turued with a start. What he l' . saw was a pretty girl in charming nog- e,lige. whose voice and hand both shook J1 as she uttered this doughty threat, and . j ' in whose face a certain timid determina- 81 lion, a look of one frightened at her own P darins, appealed to las sense of humor. u K*. But it would nevir do to laugh at her. n Besides, that pistol in her uncertain, un- a familiar hand was no joke. So he said, P with due humility: !' \' "I surrender. But for heaven's sake , put up that revolver! Ycu are as likely 11 to shoot yourself as me." "Not at all," evidently nettled. "I " am perfect)v jt' customed to using it." 2 Need it be said that this was a de- 1 liberate lie, uttered with intent of strik- p ing terror to the bosom of ihe robber? For the same purpose Lotta continued to "level her pistol and eye him with 11 outward severity unci not .1 few inward tremors, thinking withal that your housebreaker is riot the boid desperado . he is painted. Still keeping watch over one is weary work, heigh-ho! Tom rapidly determined to soe the adventure through. Time enough to make his ? escape should she call for help or should . any tresh complication arise. He hoped 1 she was not going to keep standine all c night. Presently he ventures to suggest . that she could mount guard over him quite as well seated. r Lotta assented gladly. Iler burglar . was quite a model, she thought. And J1 why should she incumber herself longer 1 with that unnecessary pistol, of which 0 she acknowledged to herseif. she was 3 much more afraid than was her pris- " oner? \ Accordingly she laid it carefully down t I;within reach. Then, with what seemed a to Tom a most amazing underrating of his strength, she announced her in- ? tention 01 holding him until assistance . should arrive. ' To him the situation was not without , . * its charm. It does not often happen to any of us that a pretty girl will insist on sitting mxt us and holding our bands? and that she was pretty, exceedingly pretty, Anslruther managed to satisfy ? himself in spite of the stingy light. c Once or twice he addressed a remark Ito his fair captor, but she discouraged s all attempt at conversation. Ana so fhey sat in silence, while the candle ,<urned low and finally went out, and lie cold gray light of dawn crept into the room. Even thin did not cause Lotta to change her posuicn. And, looking : b curiously at her, the ycunguan discovered that his stf rn guardian was rvsleop! How long and dark were the lashes resting on the fair check, he thought, fc gazing down at the sweet, peaceful lace trained in its wealth of nut-brown huir. " Surely none of the young lady's balldrcsses cculd set off her beauty as did b . that old blue wrapper.

If Miss Desmond was not the belle of f le college ball it was because, strictly j peaking, there are no longer belles at x nils, iiut, in the language of the other t Dung ladies, she " received a great deal } r nttnntmn " And how she did enjoy f erself! ^ About the eleventh hour Cousin Jim i egged to introduce his friend, Mr. r nstruther. ; Lotta's large eyes grew larger with stonishment. Mr. Anstiuthcr com- i oscdly requested the pleasure of a ] ance, and before she could collect her- t jlf sufliciently to refuse, his arm en- r ircled her and they were gliding over i ic polished floor in perfect time and i icasure. ^ "You have my step exactly," said i tiss Desmond, when they stopped. 1 " Have I? Then it must be by direct ; ispiration, fn* I never was known to s eep time with any one before." c Now did ever a man waltz to perfecon without knowing it? Lotta looked t him a little contemptuously. Her houglil did hitu injustice. Tom was c >f oVtw.finf? mndpstr. nnlv makinartalk i d keep off the question lie expected. "May I take you into the library? r 'here is an p.nxious-looking youth I t liould like to avoid. I suspect that 1 lave stolen his dance." " If you have you are only pursuing cf our profession as a robber," laughed 1 liss Desmond. " What were you doing v hat nisht in uncle's dining-room?" Then it all came out, and Tom ex- c ilained and apologized, seated in an r lcove of the great college library. ; r " And how frightened you were when and the pistol appeared on the scene!" l; aid the young ludy, maliciously. e " I was not!"?indignantly. c 44 You turned very pale." g 41 Then we must have been a welllatched pair for courage.

Then she said: " You might advertise tor it as people . o for stolen articles. And you might ay, 'Of no value to any one but the , wner.'" J ' Thank you, but I am not sure that 1 ' rant it returned," said Anstruther, , iiughing, too, but letting his eyes res , pon her fair face until the warm color urged up beneath his gaze. " ' Thou hast a thiel in either oyo Would steal it back ngain,'" e quoted, low.

It is < ertain that she er joyed no dance as she 1 id that last one with Tom. And then ' 'om's worst enemy could not criticise < tis dancing. As he relinquished her to her cousin's \ arc, Anstrutlier heaved a sigh of exag- I erated but very real regret. 1 Then Lotta put out an impulsive little j iand and said hastily: i "Mr. Burglar, if you can conque : our fancy for entering people's win- | ows enough to call in a more orthodox ray, I shail be pleased to sec you." , " Thank you," murmured Anstrutlier, , ressing the soft warm hand with quick j nnecessary warmth.

Some years ago a soldier stationed at Br.ndee, in India, while passing near a small stream saw three wolf cubs and x boy drinking. lie managed to seize the boy, who seemed about ten years Did, but who was so wild and fierce that be tore the trooper's clothes, and bit tiim severely in several places. The soldier at first tied him up in the miiitarj gun shed, and led him with raw meat; he was afterward allowed to run ibout the Bondee bazar. A lad named ranoo, servant of a Cashmere merchant ;hen at Bondee, took compassion on the poor boy, and prepared a bed for him Linder the mango-tree where he himself lodged; here he kept him fastened to a tent-pin. Up to this time lie would c-at nothing but raw llesli, but Tanco gradually taught him to eat halls of rice andpu'se. In about six wet ks after he had been tied up, and after much rubbing cf his loints with oil, he was made to stand and walk upright, whereas hitherto he had gone on all fours. One night, while the boy was lying under the mango tree, Tanoo saw t wo wolves creep stealthily toward him, and fter smelling hiin, they touched him, wheu he got up. Instead, however, of being frightened, the boy put his hand upon their heads, and they began to play with him, capering about while he pelted them with grass and straw. T:inoo tried to driye'them off, but could not. At last, however, they left, but the following night three wolves came, and a few nights" after four, which returned several times. The wolf-boy, however, could not be entirely reconciled to civilized life. In being removed from place to place he ne\erlost an opporlunity of endeavoring to escape into the jungle. At Jast Tanoo was sent away i n a short journey, and when he returned, his savage cl'arge had disappeared, and was never again heard of. The story of another wolf-child i3 even more wonderful than the above. In March, 1843, a cultivator who lived at Chupra, about twenty mi'es Iroro Sultarpoor. went to cut his crop of wheat and pulse, taking with him his wife, and a son about three year? old. As the father was reaping, a wolf suddenly rushed upon the boy, caught him up, and murlc oil' with him toward the ravines. People ran to the aid of the parents, but soon lost sight of the wolf and his prey. About six years afterward, as two sipahecs were watching for hogs on the border of the jungle, they saw three wolf cubs and a boy come out of a jungle and go down to the stream to drink; all four then ran to a den in the ravine. The sipahecs followed, but the cubs had already entered, and the boy was hah way in,wh? n one of the men caught him by the leg and drew him back. lie was very savage, bit at the men. and seizing the barrel of one of their guns in his teeth, shook it fiercely. Ti.e sipahecs, however, secured him, brought him home, and kept him for twenty days, during which he would eat nothing but raw llesh, and was led accordingly on hares and birds. Ilis cantors soon found it diflicu't to provide him with sufficient food, and took him to the bazaar in the village of Koeleepoor, to be supported by the charitable till he might bo recognized and claimed by his parents. He is unable to speak or to articulate any sound with distinctness. In drinking he dips his face in the water, but does not lap like a wolf. He still prefers raw flesh; and when a bullock dies, and the skin is removed, he attacks and eats the body in company of the village dogs.?Harper's Youny People. Tlio Turkish Sultan's Harem.

To the end ho retaine all his senses, and at no time was he too wea to indulge in tame pedestrian exercise had h desired to. He was visited by nearly te thousand persons, and their presence ofte stimulated him considerably. Fully two thousand persons visited Clarei don hall on the last morning to see the laate and ho received quite an ovation at thei hands. The presents, too, had been oomin in lively all morning, and were arranged o tables within the inclosure in the center of th main hall. There were seven or eight watei melons, packages ot baby food, small boxc of crackers, Russian milk wine, a pair ot en broidercd velvet slippers, a medal in th shape ot au immense ship cracker, with a appropriate inscription and decorated wit red, white and blue ribbons, a picce of frame cardboard, having tho following embroiderc npon it in worsted: Fasted from Juno 29, 1880, [ \ warded to Dr. Tanner] N.

Dr. Tann wiped his mouth alter finishing the first pic ot melon and then said, diily: " 1'liis is t first time 1 ever had the newspaper reportc kneel to mo."

Mr. James Croil, the author of "Clitv mato and Time," gives in Nature h's views as to the influence of an aqueous a vapor on the melting point of snow. ,t lie says: The reason why anow at great i d elevations does not melt but remains o permanent, is owing to the fact that the it heat received from the sun is thrown off >t into the stellar space so rapidly by radi0 ation and reflection that the sun j ? fails to raise the temperature of the < e, snow to the melting point; the snow < evaporates, but it does not melt. The a summits of the Himalayas, for example, j lt must receive more than ten times the i >. amount of heat necessary to melt all the o snow that falls on them, notwithstandh ing which the snow is not melted. And t in spite of the strength of the sun and h the dryness of the air at those altitudes, 18 evaporation is sufficient to remove the 5> snow. At low elevations, where the 'r snow-fall is probably greater and the , J' amount of heat even less than ar the q summits, the snow melts and disape pears. This, I believe, we must atd tribute to the influence of aqueous vapor, k At high elevations the air is dry and o allows the heat radiated from the snow n tojpass into space: but at low elevations n a very considerable portion 01 uie nuai radiated lrom the snow i9 absorbed '* in passing through the atmosphere. A ,r> considerable portion of the heat thus ? absorbed by the vapor is radiated back ,{j on the snow, but the heat thus radiated, 10 being of the same quality as that which r. the snow itself radiates, is on thisaca count absorbed by the snow. Liitlo or i- none of it is reflected like that received ie from the sun. The consequence is tha n the heat thus absorbed accumulates in 11 the snow till melting takes place. Were :<| the amount of aqueous vapor possessed :cl by the atmosphere sufficiently diminished, perpetual snow would cover our globe down to the sea shore. It is true that the air is warmer at the lower level than at the liigner level, ana Dy contact with the snow must lend to melt it more is at the former than at the latter position. } But we must remember that the air is ia warmer mainly in consequence of the influence of aqueous vapor, and that were the quantity of vapor reduced to s' the amount in question the difference 'y of temperature at the two positions ,0 would not be great, is ?e The '' Midnight Snn." The spectacle of the sun shining at midnight attracts many foreigners to ^ Swedish Lapland during the month of a. June. For six weeks there is scarcely t_ any night in the north of Sweden; the a. sun n< vcr sets and the soil, constantly to heated, produces in a month and a half [o barley and other crops. At that time of jo the year the Laplanders pen up their ir reindeers and move their huts toward Q- the cultivated fields. Being very Jios* pitable, they greet with joy the arrival 01 of tourists, who generally meet at Mount Gellaware, 148 Kilometers from Lulea. 30 From that hill, which is 580 meters high, n the beautiful spectacle ol the "midnight 3(1 sun" ean be admired in better conditions than from uny other place.
