URING the college days ot ex-Mayor Bessom of Lynn he had two of the pro- fessors of the college as guests at a hunting camp in the Maine woods. When they en- tered the np their attention was attracted to the unusual position of the stove, which was set on posts about four feet high. One of the professors began to comment upon the knc ige woodsmen gain by obser- jon. “Now,” said he, “this man has dis- covered that the heat radiating from the stove strikes the roof and the circulation is so quickened that the camp is warmed in much. less time than would be required if the stove was in its regular place on the floor.” The other professor was of the opinion that | stove was elevated to be above the window, | in order that cool and pure air could be had at night.

Shortly, clouds of steam ascended from their soaked clothing and the small room soon resembled a vapor bath. “T tell you, Mike,” said one as he squeezed the water from the hem of his trousers. “Over- | alls is the things to wear, fer no matter how wet they are, they are so soon dry.” aw, Jawn, mackinaws is the byes,” replied the other as he looked down with satisfaction at his plaid suit of thick woollen, “Mackinaws is the only clothes, fer when ye are wet and cold, they kape ye so warrum and dhry.” —Lippincott's, PETITION containing 630,054 names is to be presented to the English Parlia- ment when it meets.
