Considerable damage was done in
the store of J. T. Jacobs & Co. at Ann
Arbor, a few nights since by the bursting of water pipes.
Poles for the new telephone line at
Dundee have been delivered and the
village will soon be placed in direct
communication with her neighboring
towns.
A giddy youth of Lansing aged 75
aud a blushing bride of Gl years appeared before Justice Lumbard of the
latter village recently and answered
the questions that entitled them to a
marriage certificate.—Chelsea Herald.
Dundee is evidently making prepara-
disclosing the material for a climax."
"I know -what you mean," said Editor Gilder of the Century Magazine,
"and I tvonder why some of you gentlemen don't extend a romance beyond
death—say by means of a spiritualistic
communication from the actors. _\ow
you, Prof. Smith, you're a scientist,
why don't you do it?"
The gentleman thus addressed, says
a New "York letter to the Ciucinuatti
Enquirer, was Prof. Braiuard Garner
Smith of Cornell university.
"And 1 havo the start of it in mind
now," Prof. Smith replied. "Once,
when I was in journalism, I had occasion to go over a pile of old Liverpool newspapers, and thus came upon
a remarkable paragraph in  the  ship

A story that smacks of iietiou comes
from Saginaw county. It is: to the effect
that two neighbors had, last_ fall, one
a crib of corn the other a yard full of
poultry. About Thanksgiving; *il._io
oue commenced _teali,p.;j ...i. _.u to fatttin
his hens, and IL'- other bes'au to raid
ciongb, for it wns little else, squeezed
it until it was quite dry, and moulded
it into a ball. -Com. with me," he
said, -and, Arthur, bring a plate of
that dough with you.*' He took the
cans and we followed him to the deek.
There he carefully covered the ball of
dough with the powder and going  to*
the Tail threw it as far as he could out
oyer the placid sea. As the ball struck
the water there was a loud explosion
and the spray was thrown high into the
ah-. The crew, who had been hanging
over the port rail forward, turned and
rushed'oyer to see what was up. Uncle
John made another ball and threw it
with like result.
"' "Oh, honly torpeters,*" growled
one of the men," and they turned back
to their places. Uncle John now evidently anxious lo give us thorough
"proof of the value of his compound was
for throwing more balls, when the boatswain, rolling aft, touched his hat, and
said to the captain:
" ' "Please, sur, there's a big shark
as has showed his hn hoff the port bow,
and if so be that the doctor "11 wait a
bit with his torpeters we'll show "im
some fun a catehin* of it."
" ' "All right, bo*suu," said the captain, and we"all went over to the port
rail.
" ' "There he is," said the captain,
pointing to a sharp, black tiling thai,
rising just above the water, was cutting
quietly through it. "That is his lin,
and there's a'big shark under it or I'm
much mistaken."
•"The men fell back and looked
eagerly. The cook handed up a big
chunk "of meat. "Wipe it as dry as you
can.17 said uncle, "and tie it iirmly to
the.rope.*' When thi.s^ was done lie
sprinkled the powder * from the can
carefully over the meat, then he carried it cautiously to the rail. The shark
.was cruising back and forth. Uncle
Powered tlie meat slowly into the. water
right in front of the monster. He saw
tho bait and darted at it, aud then
there was a tremendous report and the
spray Hew into our faces as we leaned
over'tho rail. The next moment we
saw the big iish floating motionless on
the water.
"• '-Blessed if 'e *asu't blowed 'is
'ead clear off,"*' said the boatswain.
•"It was so. That terrible compound
of Uncle John's had needed only the
impact of the shark's teeth to explo ie
it with deadly effect.*""
"Oh, it's only a iish story,'1 Edward
Fawcett interrupted when Prof. Smhh,
who is an expert elocutionist,had spoken
thus far in the, assumed character of
the dead man.
"It is a lovely story,"' Prof- Sm-Hi
went on, with no lapse from his imp■ _■-
souation of the solemnly speaking
spirit of Hartley. "'Our "vessel was
plundered and abandoned by a mutinous crew. Ouh Helen, whom I madly
loved but who had never yet eonfess.'d
she loved me, was left atone ou bo:,trd
with me. Days of famishing aud fe» er
ensued. One afternoon Helen was
lying motionless in the shadow of the
companion hatch. I threw myself
down by her side. She put out her
hand and grasped mine and a flush
crossed her face. I was too weak to
speak* and thus baud in hand we lay

I lost consciousness, perhaps in sleep.
