GENTLE SPRING.
[For beauty of sentiment, for latent but tender pathos, and for rich variety of expression the following poem is unsurpassed.]
Oh, the gentle spring is coming
You can hear the bees a bumming.
And can see the bumps a bumming
Everywhere:
Oh! the balmy gurgling days,
When all nature's in a haze,
And the bright and cheerful rays
Lot! the tender grasses springing,
And the woods with music ringing.
To our bosoms gladness Ibringing
fullest share.
Or the sun.
Fill you with a calm delight.
Make you feel 'way out of sight'
Which is nothing more than right
Aln't it fun?
How you love to watch the robin
With his little heart a brobbin'
And his little tail a bobbin'
While from out his tiny throat Streams of melody there float, And you simply sit and gloat, You're in the swim.
When you cught to get your lesson
And the time is rather pressin'
But the air is so caressin',
That you can't;
When you linger to begin it.
Wasting every precious minute.
Then's the time 'you're deeply in it,'
And you rant.
When the silvery moonbeams tickle
Through your open window trickle
And you your fancy gently tickle
As they glide;
Then you throw aside your latin
Quickly put your coat and hat on.
And you study human nature
On the side.

A number of families, principally University people are about starting in a modest way,a co-operative dining hall. Those who are foremost in the enterprise are wives of some of the professors,who have ultimately in view the erection of a building adequate not only for the above purpose,but suitable for the establishment of a co-operative laundry, which when accomplished will greatly help solve one of the difficult problems of housekeeping. The Courier wishes these ladies every possible success.

New Style of Coon Hunting.
The inhabitants of the mountains west of this place are great coon hunters. Some nights ago Bill Bencheff and Colonel Yingling started out with half a dozen dogs and two boys to carry the pine torches. A coon was raised on the east side of the Mouterey, and the dogs chased it down through a deep and rough ravine and up a rocky spur on the west. After a climb of an hour Bencheff and Yingling at last came up with the dogs. They had run the coon into a tree aac' were snarling and barking around underneath. The boys whirled the torches and Bencheff bunged away at what he thought was the coon, but no animal tumbled.
Yingling in the moountain had been tearing paper and trying to ignite a match, but it was damp and would only splatter. Benchko was derriding him when suddenly a great ball of fire illuminated space. Yingling had succeeded in igniting his match and was emptying a roman candle into the tree.
The first ball struck a branch and burst and the second hit the coon "plumb center," its far caught fire and with a yell it came rolling down among the angry dogs. The third ball revealed two more coons in the tree, and Benchof's rife dropped one, while Yingling, with the last bull in the candle, hit the limb on which the third coon clung with pitiful terror, and it lost its hold and tumbled into the mouths of the waiting dogs.
They got six more coats that night with the help of Yingling's candles, and now the colonel regularly shoots the romans and Benchcoff shoots the gun. They are the most successful coon hunters in all the region - Gettysburg (Pa.) Sentinel.
He Carried a Muff.
The other day a well carried man sat in a Boulevard car dressed up town. The day was cold, the car was full and the usual discomforts of surface transit were turned on. The man mentioned was the observed of all observers. He carried a common black muff on his knee, his hands thrust in either end, and had a far away look in his eyes. The ladies exchanged amused glances. The gentlemen regarded the muff with various degrees of wonder and contempt.
"Newest style," suggested one gentleman to another.
"Yes; it's going to be a cold day tomorrow. When you see the pigs carrying straws"——
"That beats me!" came in a stage whisper from across the way.
"Wonder if he wears corsets," said another.
"What is it, anyhow?"
"Sorry I forgot my muff."
"I'll steal my wife's sealskin sacque tonight."
"Poor fellow! Somebody ought to see him home safely."
Amid these remarks the man with the muff sat quietly looking out of the window. He must have overheard some of them; he must have known that he was the object of universal curiosity and ridicule, but he gave no sign. It appeared, however, that he was only collecting himself for some final effort, for when he arose to leave the car at Seventy-second street he suddenly confronted his fellow passengers.
A curious state of affairs prevails in Nanticoke, Pa., a mining town of 11,000 inhabitants. Two-thirds of the population are for-eigners, mostly Huns, Poles and Italians. Three months ago the free mail delivery system was inaugurated in the town. It has proven a failure. A great deal of foreign mail matter is received at the postoffice daily, but no streets or numbers are given. The letter carriers simply take a bag of mail and march through the town blowing a whistle.
"This is my wife's muff," he said bluntly. "She left it on the bargain counter. I had to go back and get it I'm taking it home. If you see anything funny in that I'm blamed if I do."—New York Herald.
The People Sort the Mail.
The people turn out and the carrier allows them to examine the letters. In this way he delivers to owners. The people are honest enough, and will not take a letter that does not belong to them. The postoffice authorities at Washington, however, do not like the mode of delivery, and it is likely that the free delivery system will be discontinued.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"SEEING IS BELIEVING."
Some lamps are TOLERABLY good.
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp ooor without the tolerable—THE ROCHESTER. SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, Good—these words mean much, but to see THE ROCHESTER will impress you with its tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is absolutely safe and UNBREAKABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter than gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this stamp—THE ROCESTER. If the lamp dealer has! Sell our ROCESTER, and the style you want, send to us for our new Business logo and we will *end* you a lamp safely by express—your choice of over 200 styles from the Largest LAND STORE in THE WORLD.
