John O’Brien’s circus showed in Snow Hill on Monday last to an im­mense audience, ami gave a first-class performance. Indeed, the ring per formance was far better than any we liave ever had here. During their stay tlie proprietor exerted himself to see tliat tlie liest of order prevailed and tha t all wlio visited the per­formances were made comfortable and protected from imposition. Mr. O’Brien is one of the best managers in the show business, and to his in ­telligent aud thouglitful supervision was due much of the pleasure afforded on tlie occasion. Our citizens were well satisfied with the performances.

A FATAL BLAfB.A VIra to a Boston Taaeasant Honso !!#•>

aBoston, Aug. 9T.

A small Are at the north end Sunday mom* ing resulted in the loss of fire livee. Siusb a great eacrifice of human life by fire has not been known In this city for years. Tlie blaze originated In a tenement house at 0 Thatcher court, and, in less than an hour after the sounding of Uie alariu, was ex* tingulshed, with no great damageto tlie building. The following isthe list of the dead: Mrs. Fred­erick" Savage, Minnie Savage, aged seven months; Kittle McLaughlin, aged twelve; George McLaughlin, aged thirteen; Tliomas P. McLaughlin, aged seven. Tlie McLaugh­lins were •children of James McLaughlin, a tenant in the fated building. In addltien to this los of life Mrs. Sarah McLaughlin was so frightfully burned that she Is not c.x- pected to live, and John Savage, a brotlier of Fretlerick, was severely Injured by jump­ing from a second-story window to tho pave­ment below. The total numbor of persons living in the house was nineteen.

The origin of tlie fire was at ftist sin>- posed to have come through the explosion of a lamp, but subsequent invratigatlons by the police brought to light tlie fact that John and Fred Savage had been drinking heavily, and becoming involved in an angry dispute the lamp had been used as a missile and explodeil, causingthe blaze which followed. Flynn, alamp-lighter, residing at 4 Thatcher court, upon arising Sunday morning heard tlie quarrel between the Savages, one of them shouting: “Don’t throw that lamp at me!” Then lie heard a crasli. Soon after came the alann of lire. Fret! Savage was arrestetl at noon. I^ater in tlie day John Mackintosh, of 21 Howard street, was also arrested. He was supposed to have beeu with tlie Savages when tho quarrel oc­curred.

A visit to the scene of the di.saster showed that the damage, aside from the loss of life, was slight 111 a .second story of tlie build­ing, in a little front room, was ixxir James McLaughlin, surroundeil by synipatlii/.ing friends. He was almost heart-broken. The charred bodies*of tliree of ins children were in their cofiin.s before him, while Ids wife lay suffering the agonies of death at tlie city hospital. Telling the story of the fire, he said tliat when lie awoke the llames were sweeping up the stairway. Two of his boys he got out safely. Tlien lie was liorrilied to see George on the roof, wliere he liad crept through a skyJlgliL With tlie lielp of othem tlie father held a sheet and told the boy to jump. In addition to his burns, however, the boy received injuries which caused Ills death. The mother was almost frantic, and would have plunged into the flames In the endeavor to save her children had she not beenhqld back even after being seriously burned.

In tiie upper story of a small front room were Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Savage, a babe .seven months old, and Katie ilc- Laiiglilin. What transpired in that cliaiii- ber of death prior to tlie fire will never be known unless Frederick Savage ciioosus to tell the story. He deserted his family without any attempt to save tliem. Wlien Uie firemen arrived they could liear the screams of Mrs. Savage, and faiut cries of her babe, and then slirleks of little Katie McLauglilin, wlio pleaded: “Oli, .save me, niainina; for God’s sake, save me!” John Savage escaped with injuries by leaping from a rear window. He claims tliat lie went to bed at ten o’clock, and blew out tlie lamp before retiring. Wlieii he awoke Uie flames were under full headway.

Sud­denly Uie black hull of what proved the S t Germain, an ocean steamerbound from Havre to New York, loomed up. Befpre a word could bo said or asignal given the S t Germain bore down upon the Woodbuni. That vessel was struck on the starboard quarter and found­ered in tliree minutes. There was no timeto lower her boats, and only eleven of the persons on board were saved. Those drowned were sucked Into a vortex causedby the sinking of the steamer or became en- tYiigleti in the wreckage.

The S t Germain’s boYVS were completely stove in and her fore compartment filled with water. \ greater portion of her pas­sengers were transferred to the tug-boat Recovery. The S t Germain had four hun­dred and sixty-two pirssengers on board, in­cluding fifty nuns on their way to Texas and a crew of one hundred and twenty-two persons. The captain of the S t Germain, finding that water was pouring into tlie forehold with fearful rapidity, ordered a sail to be rigged over tlie damaged portion of the vftssel in order to check the rusli of the water and reduce the pressure on Uio bulkhead.

The ofllcars of Uie St. Gennaln say that they sighteii Uie tug-boat Recovery, which was towing the Woodbiirn, at 2:30 a. in., and thinking she Yvas the only vessel to clear, the S t Germain’s helm was porteil in order Uiat slie might go under the tug-boat’s stern. Tliey had no Idea there was a sliip In tow.

The St. Germain will go into the dry- dock for repairs. From marks on her liows It Is apparent that she went right through the Woodbum, literally cutting that vessel In two.

At almost the same hour, as far as can lie determined, the steamer Palenno, Imiiid from Hamburg to Lisbon, collided off Ushant with the steamer Rivoli, from Bil- boa to Middleborough. Tlie fog was dense and neither ves.sol could see tlie other’s lights. The Rlvoll was cut msirly in two and sank almost instantly. Five of the erew are known to have bew drowned.

Btor Pn0M oo TTueMUy niflit, about eleveo o’clock, Myi a terrible cyclone visited that- city, ienvinf denth and destruction in Its tnick A thousand people in the city ara homaleas and dependent upon the charity of others for shelter and the necessiUes of life. The resources and sympathies of tbs citizens are toxad., to the very utmost, and help is badly needed from abroad. An Impromptu hospital las been made in Romnel’s HalL About forty persons are being cared for by a volunteer corps of nurses. The damage in the city can not be less than 9500,000, and in the surrounding oountrj' an esUmate is impusslble. Fences are all gone, catUe injured and at large, stacks of hay and grain have totally disap­peared, and ctops of com and potatoes are beaten flat The terrible list of casualUes in the city comprises twenty-four persons killed and at least eighty wounded, of whom the names have not yet all been received. Tho dead are not all Identified. The stormswept through Dodge and Olmsted Coun­ties, causing greater destruction than the- cyclone of one montli ago. The court-hqusoT-- higb-school bulding, Academy of Lourdes, elevators, depot, flounng-mills, ten busi­ness blocks, brides a great many dwellings, are unroofed. The Metliodist Church is ruined, and the Congregational Church In­jured. More than two hundred dwellings are utterly destroyed. Losses in tlia county are very great The condition of tilings in the northern part of the city defies description. A few splintered stuiujis and scattered boards remain to show where the Third ward was. The buildings hi this part ot the city were mostly one-story frame houses, many of them without cellars, and there was the greatest destruction of life. The mill and dwelling of L. Foxdre are a total loss, while the immense Zunibrota planing-mill, John M. Cole, proprietor, Is badly wrecked, huge pieces of the building being torn out and carried off. Mr. Cole, who was in the mill Yvhen tlie cyclone reached it, thinkin^Jits hi^ise a safer place, started for it, bu^'had nm gone twenty feet before he was caught up by the wind, carried a distance of eight or ten rods, and dashed to the earth a mangled corpse. The residences south of the railroad to Zumbrota street all suf­fered, losing roofs, windows and chimneys. The shaded residence-streets are almost Im­passable from broken trees, pieces of roofs, and debris of ail s irts. Reports from outlying towns are coining in slowly, and sliow that the damage is not confined to the city. Pleasant Grove Is re­ported annihilated, two persons being killed and ten wounded. The town of Salem lay In the track of the cyclone soutlieastof here, and Is said to be wiped out The top story of the courtrhoiise Is badly wrecked. The cupola was carried several rods and the building left exposed to the weather. Tho to\ver of the school-house lies on tho ground and tlie roof Is damaged. The roof of the Methodist Cliurch was blown aYvay and the walls are half crumbled down. The steeple of tlie Con­gregational Church was knocked off. A children’s picnic, just returned from thecountry, had taken refuge iii the church, but all escaped badly .scared. Had some of thechildren been at home they must ulniost certainly have beeu killetl. Tlie railway deix)t is unroofed and badly riddled, Tlie roof of G. W. Vandusen & Co.’s elevator was carried away, and tlie warehouse adjoining crushed. H. J. Horton’s elevator lies across tlie railway track, and the warehouse and office of Wliitten ife Judge arc a,mass of ruins. Tlie llocliester linrve.stcr works are completely pulverized, not two feel of tlio wall remaining standing. All of tlie mnchiirery is a tblal loss. Tlie railway bridge is gone. Sniieriiitendent Sanborn Is here with a force of men, and railway coniiminicatlon will soon be secured. Whenever it was possible people took to their cellars, and in no case where that was done was life lost In the upper part of the city the darkness was at no time great, but at tbe lower part of town it grew dark as niglit approached, filling every one with terror.

Tlie dead, so far as reported, number twelve; missing and supposed to have been killed, three; wounded, fifty-nine.

BLOWN f r o m t h e BAILS.Owatonna, Minn., Aug. 23.

Meager telegraphic advices were received here early Wednesday morning that a terri­ble accident had occurred between Roch­ester and Zunibrota, Minn., on the Roch­ester and Northern division of the Chicago& Northwestern Road, by which about one hundred people were killed and wounded.On account of the Interruption of the telegraphic services at Rochester no information could be obtain^till tbe arrival of a train from the scene of the disaster with thirty-five people who had been wounded In the accident Of this huniber many seemed to be seriously hurt, and all were taken to the hospital. The train that was wrecked Was that which leaves Rochester about four p. m., arriving at Zumbrota at six p. in. It was caught in the severe wind and hail-storm that pre­vailed in that vicinity between four and sir o’clock in tbe evening, ami while ninningai a great speed was lifted from the i .ills and daslied to pieces. A gentleman who has been to the scene of the disaster describes it as one of the most horrifying character. Every car in the train was almost literally shattered to pieces by the sudden stop caused by tho train leaving the rails, togeth­er with the forces of the storm burying the unfortunate passengers beneath the debris, killing many and iiduring nearly every per­son aboard tbe train. The gentium an stated that nine dead bodies had been taken from the ruins, and a large number of thpse se­riously injured removed , to Roclp ster and Owatonna. At the time he left the work of extricating the unfortunate victims was « still progressing, and it was believed the • nuintor of killed would reach a score wbea the final summing up was made.

T hus they p ligh ted th e ir tro th in the face of the w orld and before H eaven, th a t m an and wom an, H um phrey Car-

, bonel and E m m a Crane. T hey had prom ised to love and cherish and honor each other, and he to com fort her and she to obey him in sickness and in health , for be tte r for worse, fo r richer fo r poorer, until death d id them p a r t!

M ay breezes stole softly in through th e open porch; M ay violets filled the a ir w ith perfum e; M ay birds w ere sing­ing ; May dews yet spark led on the jew eled glass. I t was a tru e bridal m orning; and, am id the a lm ost Sabbath stillness and the spring-tide loveliness, th e vows were exchanged th a t m ade th em one.

U ntil death! The lover-husband g lanced down upon the tim id g irl whose hand lay in his, feeling suddenly how terrib le was thx t w ord—death!

-W h y ^h o u ld the though t have come to himP He clasped the trem bling hand closer, as if he felt a lready the chilling c f those warm pulses. Even in the m idst of the solem n service, his im agin­ation traveled forw ard to a day when those solem n promises would have been fulfilled, and death had ended all—her dea th . I t did n o t occur to C aptain C arbonel to th ink th a t it m igh t be his own.

The young g irl, happy and sm iling in h e r bridal ro h ^ , never once thought of death a t all. How should she? And how —still less, how—could e ither of them call up a p icture of som ething worse th an death to b reak the m arriage vow?

A yonng couple they, suprem ely happy on th a t M ay m orning. Sun- shm e, and glistening dew, and opening flowers, and the joyous song of birds— they do not pu t forth notions of w inter- chill and gloom. No, nor po rtend it.

So reason we in our blindness, in the Inexperienced youtli of our early M orn­ing, w hen the glam our of hope is upon us, and all looks rad ian t. L ater, s tand ­in g before the calm -faced teacher, whose nam e is Life, wo learn th a t no ea rth ly existence is perfect; th a t the sunniest life hath shadows, and that the sw eet spring-tim e, the b righ test sum m er, m tist rfvu place to faded flowers, to dying leaves.

** You oanuQt nave E m m a unless you

retire altogether from the army« or get l^t upon half-pay.” saild Emma Crane^s s tem old guardian to Captain Carbonel; for aha had neither fa ther nor mother, brother nor sister. Amd H um phrey Carbonel. tired perhaps of a soldier*8 idle life, for all the world seemed to have been at peace'for ages and likely to rem idn so, got put upon half-pay.

Sure never did a couple begin life un­d e r m ore prom ising auspices! T hey had a p re tty hom estead of their ow n— it was E m m a’s, not his—am id a sm all colony of o ther p retty hom esteads, and they had between them a handsom e com petency, and there was p leasan t so­ciety around; and life was as delightful as a m orning dream .

A child was bom to them , b u t it died. T h a t brought sorrow. No o ther child cam e, and tim e w ent on. And hero some lines th a t I m et w ith in a pe­riodical in youthful days occur to me. I don’t know whose they are. If I knew then I have forgotten:“ Alas, th a t ea rlv love shou ld fly.T h a t fiiondshlp'^8 se lf shou ld fade and die ; And glad h ea rts p ine w ith o an k o iin g feara. And s ta rry eyes grow dim w ith te a rs I F o r years a re sad and w ithered th ings.And sorrow lingers, an d Joy has w ings;And falsehood steals in to su n n y bow ers.And T im e's du ll fo o ts tep tre a d s on flowers. A nd the w ate rs o f life now deep an d fast.A nd they liear to th e so rrow fu l g rav e a t la s t,"

W hy should the lines be p u t in here? Because they ju st express the a ltered condition of things th a t fell upon H um phrey and E m m a Carbonel. They grew estranged from one another, hartl- ly know ing how, o r why. Ho said she no longer cared to please him , her hus­band; she said ho lilced o ther w ives bet­te r than her—th a t he gave them all bis attention and gave ner none. And again tim e w ent on.

Seven tim es had the M ay violets opened th e ir blue eyes in the mossy dells since th a t lovely day when he and she had vowed to love and cherish each o ther un til death did them p a rt; seven tim es the M ay dew-drops had m ade the green meadows all aglow w ith spark les; and seven tim es the sw eet sp ring flow­ers had faded beneath the scorching heat of sum m er. Ah, if violets had been the only things th a t had died out in those seven years!

I t was May a^ain now. B ut it brought no cherished, bnda l flowers to H um phrey Carbonel and his wife, no clasping of hands, no fulfillm ent of love’s g lonous prophecy. E strangem ent had bu t deep­ened, and they were p a rting in pride and anger. Tir^eil w ith the s ta te of affairs a t hom e—the unbending coldness, the resentful tones, the cruel bickerings in which both indulged—C aptain Carbonel had got p laced on full service again. He was going out to be shot at, if fate so willed; for we w ere a t w ar now.

The day of departu re dawned, and they p a rted w ith b itte r words. H eaven an a their own hearts knew how m uch or how little they suffered; there was no ou tw ard sign of it. People, who h a d ceaseil to w onder a t the suspected estrangem ent betw een C aptain and Mrs. Carbonel, said to one ano ther th a t it was brave of him to go out volun­tarily to the wars. “ M arlbrouck s’en-va-t-en-guerre!” So he w ent off w ith an indifferent countenance and a jau n ty air; and she stayed behind equally jaun ty , equally indifferent.

One year passed on. E m m a C ar­bonel began to feel lonely, to sicken of h e r unsatisfactory life. B it by bit siie had grow n to see th a t she and H um phrey had been bu t foolish, both of them , the one as m uch as the other. D id he feel tlie sam e? I t m ight bo. Yet their le tte rs continued to be of the scan tiest and coldest.

A nother y ear d ragged itself on, and th en she m ade no pretense of keeping up the farce of resentm ent to he r own h e a r t T im e, generally speaking, shows up our past m istakes iu their true colors. E m m a Carbonel longed for her husband to come home, she g rew feverishly im ­p a tien t to be reconciled. M ariana in the M oated G range was a favorite read­in g of hers ju st now—

“ She sa id : ‘ I am a w eary , w eary.H e oom eth n o t,’ she sa id :

* H e Cometh not, and all is d re a ry —I w ould th a t I w ere dead I’ "

H um phrey Carbonel cam e not. N oth ing cam e b u t the details of the fighting; w ars, and rum ors of wars.

M ay was in again; ano ther May. Mrs. Carbonel sa t a t her window in the tw iligh t of a chilly, drizzling day. The gloom w ithout harm onized w ith the gloom w ithin. And yet, hard ly so. The ra in m igh t be cold, d reary , dispiriting, b n t i t was no th ing as com pared wim the desolation of her heart. ChiWless, and worse th an widowed! She had hoped, ah! fo r a year o r two now, th a t H um phrey’s old love for her m ight overrule his p ride and bitterness, and p rom p t him to w rite to her a word of ten d er reg re t for th e ir conduct to one another. B u t he did not. She was feeling it all to her h ea rt’s core this m iser­able evening; unavailing rem orse lay heavily u^on her; she w ished she could die and end it. No sign of reconcilia­tion hatl passed since they parted in p ride and anger; not a w ord of repen t­ance on either side had crossed tbe d reary gu lf th a t flowed betw een them . W ords of ano ther poet, dead and gone, floated th rough her m ind as she sat. N igh t and day late ly they bad seemed to h a u n t It.“ A laat they had been frien d s In y o u th —

Hail he opened the door and stood there by her side she would not have felt sta rtled o r surprised, or a t all w ondered a t i t The bew ilderm ent w rought by long-contin­ued sorrow has stolen over her senses.

But H um phrey did not come. Only, instead , the postm an cam e in a t the gate , and knocked a t the door. Me- chanically she w ondered why he was so late this evening. Slie heard the se r­vant who answ ered the knock say the sam e to the man.

“ Yes, it’s la te ,” he answered. “ A m ail from ^le w ar is in, you see; and it b rought a good m any le tte rs .”

'Ih e wonoKin cam e in w ith a thick le t­ter and the lights. H er m istress took it w ith nervous haste. A thick le tter, and from her husband! until now bis letters had been of the th innest and slightest. The w riting—was it H um ­ph rey ’s? W hy, yes, it was his; bu t w hat could m ake it look so shaky? She opened it carefully, and some inclosures fell out. A fond le tte r o r two of hers w ritten to him a fte r their m arriage, d u r­ing a tem porary separation ; a curl of her sunny hair; a plain gold ring which he had worn ever sirfee his wedding- day; and a little folded note w ith a few trem bling lines in it.

“ I am dying, Em m a. Fell to-day in battle . God forgive us our folly, m y precious wife! I believe wo loved one ano ther all the while. T here is another Life, m y dear one. I shall be w aiting for you there .—H um phrey.”

Em m a Carbonel did n o t cry, did not faint. She lay back in a low, large chair, her meek hands clasped in sup­plication, pray ing to bo pardoned for all her hard w i^ e d u e ss to her dead husband, feebly beseeching God, in His m ercy, to take her to th a t b e tte r life.

The next day the papers published a list of the fallen. F ifteen soldiers and tw o officers, one of the la tte r being C aptain H um phrey Carbonel.

So it was all over. D eath had parted them . T hey had taken th e ir m arriage vows to love and to cherish one another un til death did them p a r t—and lo! now it had stepped in to <fc its work.

Ah! bu t som ething else had stepped in previously: angi'y passions indulged in, m alice not suppressed. But for tha t, H um phrey Carbonel had never gone out to the fa ta l p lain where death was indiscrim inately p u ttin g in his sickle. E m m a Carbonel w ould have given now her own life to recall the past.

Experience m ust be bought; some­tim es all too dearly. Slie saw how worse than foolish it is, tak ing it a t the best, to render ou r short existence here one of m arring anger. Evil tem per bears us up a t the m om ent, b u t tim e m ust bring the reaction, and the re ­pentance. A little forbearance on both sides, especially on hers, a few sooth­ing words, instead of spiteful retorts, and this b itter retribu tion had not been hers; o r his, in dying. “ A soft answ er tu m e th aw ay w rath . ” If they had but obeyed the words of holy writ!

And now w hat was left to them ? D eath - had claim ed him, and all was over. To her, a life-long tim e of anguished rem orse, a vain longing to undo vfhat could never bo undone in this world. Could not some of us, hot and hasty in o u r dealings, learn a lesson from it?

But som ething b e tte r was in store for Em m a Carbonel. H um phrey did not die. W ithin a w eek the news cam e to her th a t the iniuries, which had in­duced a death-like swoon, m istaken at the tim e for death , had no t ye t been fatal, He was rem oved to the hospital, was being treated there by skilful su r­geons, and the issue was as y e t un- certain-

The issue was no t lo r death, b u t life. Some m onths la te r he cam e hom e, a m aim ed soldier, bearing abou t him m arks which tim e would never efface.

J u s t a t the dusk of evening, as she had pictured it in her fond & eam , he came. W hen the fly drove up to the door w ith him, she was sui-pnsed, for he was not expected until the nex t day. Ho cam e in slowly, lim ping. The bustle over, the servants shaken bands with, lie lay back, fatigued, in the easy chair, Em m a kneeling before him, clinging to him in passionate em otion, tears stream ing from her eyes, ^whispering to him in deprecating term s to forgive her.

“ Upon condition th a t you forOTve mo, E m m a,” he answ ered, ag ita ted as herself. “ I t has been a sharp experi­ence for, us both. My darling wife, I do not th ink we shall ever quarre l w ith one another ag a in .”

MUFF AM) SULTAN.I t w as Saturday afternoon, and Sue

was out on the sunny veranda teaching Muff, her pe t k itten , to jum p through a hoop. T he hoop was w ound with bright bits of ribbon, and \t was a pity, when the flu ttering wiutis m ade such a p retty con trast to M uff’s white coat, th a t he could not be persuaded to jum p, except as Sue jum ped him.

M am m a and W ill w ere out on the veranda, too. M am m a was sewing, and W ill wa.s w.atcliiug Sue.

W ill was fifteen, alm ost a m an in six- year-old Sue’s eyes, and he only came nomo one Saturday in four from the academ y-town, tw enty m iles away. Sue was alw ays glad when he cam e for be­sides seeing Will, there was sure to be jelly-cake and plum -sauce for tea.

B ut Muff would no t jum p, though he would catch at the flying ends of rm bon as Sue held the hoop before him , and hang with teeth and claws.

“ I t’s no use. Sue,” laughed W ill, “ Muff hasn’t an}' b ra in s .”

“ He’s got as m uch as any cat!” flashed Sue.

“ N ot Muff!” W ill laughed again. “ You ought to see Sultan. T ell you w hat, m other, you’d better let Sue go when Jo h n drives m e ovci*, M onday m orning, and I ’ll tak e her to see Miss H epw orth’s ca t.”

Away w ent the hoop trund ling down the walk, and aw ay w ent Muff afte r it. “ O m am m a! can’t I?” cried Sue.

M am m a smiled. T h a t was as good as a yes any time.

So, early M onday m orning. Sue was dressed in her p re tty g ray suit, w ith navy-blue ribbons, and settled on the bacK seat of the wagon beside W ill; and Jo h n cracked the w hip about the horses’ ears, and off they went.

Miss H epw orth lived all alone in a lit­tle white house on a shady stree t, where she sold a few pins and needles, and a g rea t m any cakes,pies,candies and nuts.

She was a wee little Q uaker lady, w ith silver-grey hair and eyes, and a plain drab gown, who cam e to the door when Jo h n pulled up before it, and gave W ill a cheery smile, and Sue a kiss and a ch irrupy “ How do thee do, dear?” and then led the w ay into the little shop, where every th ing was as nea t and shiny as a new pin.

“ She came to see Sultan , Miss Hep- w orth ,” said Will, w ith a tw inkle, after he had invested in a huge paper of can­dy which he tucked in to Sue’s hands. “ She’s g o t a ca t a t homo th a t w on’t jum p .”

“ H as thee?” sm iled Miss H epw orth a t Sue; “ and does thee w ant to see m y c a t? ”

“ If you please,” said Sue; and Miss H epw orth tripped to the door and called “ Sultan!”

T here was a streak along the little passage from somewhere, and Sultan stood on the threshold—a g rea t yellow cat, looking a t his m istress with g rea t green, in telligent eyes.

“ Thee m ay come in ,” said Miss H ep­worth. “ W ipe thy fee t.”

Sultan obeyed, stepping upon the trim little m at before the door, and lift­ing his feet, one after another, daintily .

W ill threw Sue a triu m p h an t glance, and Miss H epw orth sm iled,

“ Now, be a gentlem an, S u ltan ,” she said; and Sultan rose upon his h ind feet and w alked around the room , tipping his ea r politely to his m istress and Sue.

“ Can thee tell our little friend the sad story of the bu tcher’s horse?” asked Miss H epw orth, stooping to p a t the broad, yellow head.

Sultan began to lim p, w alking m ore and more slowly and painfully until a t last he fell, rolled over on his side, quivered, and then lay lim p and mo­tionless.

Sue’s eyes were very big and bright. “ Oh, he isn 't dead!” she cried.

“ Goosey!” laughed W ill. “ W on’t you let him waltz. Miss H epw orth?”

“ Ye-ps,” hesitated Miss H epw orth, “ but thee m ust rem em ber that is no t of m y teaching. I t is m y roguish neph­ew ’s w ork ,” she said to Sue. “ Thoe m ay w altz, Siikan. ”

Up rose Sultan again, w hirling across the floor.

T hen he tossed a b it of cake from his nose and caugnt it as it fell; ho found Miss H epw orth’s thim ble, which had been tucked into Sue's pocket; ho sa t up, and lapped m ilk from a tiny d ipper which he held in his paw s; he tu rned som ersaults; ho sneezed; he w ent th rough so m any porforraanoes th a t Sue w ould not have been g rea tly surprised to hear him speak.

“ W ill ho ju m p ?” asked W ill, soberly.“ I th ink he never trie d ,” sm iled Miss

Kepwoirth. B ut she held up her yard- sticdc. “ Over, S u ltan ,” she said, and Sultan , a fte r an in sta n t’s hesitation, bounded over.

“ Now we m ust go, c; “ T h an k you. Miss H epw orm .

She drew a long braaili. ” Y o v eoutdn't sell hinif ooald jouP** ah* asked, wistfully.

“1 fear thee could not keep bin).**' said MIse Hepworth, patting her ohehk,, * But thee must come again to aee hinou and thee must not go now until then has bad a bite to eat.” *

So Miss Hepworth brought ontaHtdn tray with a tumbler of rUm milk and » p late of sw eet cakes, and Sue, when aba had said good-bye to W ill for anoth^ four weeks, fed herself and Sultan gBUr erously, before she kissed MifiS Hep- w orth and hugged S a ltan and went awav.

W hen she go t home she unw ound th* hoop.

“I don’t th ink it’s any nse, mamma,** she said; “ I guess M uff hasn 't ta c f brains. B u t,” and she cuddled th* little fu rry bunch in her arm s, “ he’n a goo<l deal the prettiest, a in ’t you , Muffy?”

And Muff said, “ M e-ew !”— YouOCs Companion.

“ Rapid and co rrec t,” w as the rep ly . • “ T h a t’s good! Honest, is he?” 1 “ Oh, yes,” answ ered M r. L am ar. ' “ Tlie work is not hard , and he w ill'

T h a t ended the interview . j“ O uncle!” cried G regory, bursting,

in to tears.He had set his h e a rt upon o b ta in in g

“ G regory, 1 could no t deceive th e gen tlem an ,” Mr. L am ar said, in a low tone, m ore regre tfu l than stem . “ Y ou are not tiiistw orthy , and it is a seriona failing; nay, a fau lt, ra th e r.

NESS KNOWN.This Oil is abstracted from peonltar species of

small WHITE SHARK, caught In the Yellow Sea, known as Carebarodon Rondeletb. Every Chinese flsberman knows It. Its virtues as a restorative of healing were diacovered by a Bnddblst Priest about the year 1110. Its cures were so numerous and MANY SO SEEMINGLY MIRACDLODS, that the remedy was officially proclaimed over tbe entire Empire. Its nae became so nnlvsrsal that for OVER 800 YEARS NO DEAFNESS HAS EXISTED AMONG THE CHINESE PEOPLE. Sent, charges prepaid, to any addreea at ll.OU per bottle.

Hear What the Deaf Say !It has performed s miracle in my case.I have no unearthly noises in my head and bear

How Interest Eats.Many people often borrow money at a

rate of interest that no legitimate business can stand. Very few have figured on the difference between six and eight per cent One dollar loaned for one hundred years at six percent, with the interest collected annually and added to tbe principal will amount to $840. A t eight per cent, it will amount to $2,203, or nearly seven times ns much. This information is given gratis together with the wholesome advice to use Swayne’s Pills whenever you have billious attacks, headache, constipation or many of the complaints peculiar to tbe season.

T h e w orld Is fall of sham s. Loa^r befQre P. T. ^ r a u m ’s tim e m aqy s eh rew d m an had found out th a t the w o rld likes to be h u m b u g s^ . And 0he;7 aiso found th a t even when it does n o t wish to be, it« ' ''llib U i^ exposes it to frequent imp .lions. People do so lik e to take pom pous individuals a t th e ir own valuation. T here is a cer­ta in fascination in their self-conscious bearing and m easureless assum ption.

The little rogue, selling papers on the* street, invents a horrible story of m ur­d er o r accident, and m any a one stops to buy his papers, nut because they do not detect his little ruse, bu t because they adm ire w hat very likely they will speak of as his enterprise. You will notice tha t they will invari%bly give it a better name. The pedd ler a t the door has real lace and solid silver to sell tothe good housewife a t wonderful lowbargains. And the latter, well pleased a t low prices, nor unaw are of the sham , cheapens his wares aud likes to feel that she has m ade a bargain and got better goods than she knows them to be. The tra d e r a t the corner grocery is profuse in com plim ents which m ean nothing w hile he sells half-cotton goods for all wool, or judiciously sands his sugar and m ljusts his w eights to benefit himself.

This principle enters in to all we eat, all th a t we w ear and all th a t we do. One who lives in the city m eets sham s everyw here. He never knows when to depend on his bread, milk, butter, sugar and coffee as the pure and genuine •articles. The house in which Tie lives is a jiiece of sham work. The public buildings of the city are alw ays open to th e sam e suspicion. They look solid, b u t who knows w hat defective m a­terial and sham w ork is in them . If «ome who fu raished wire for the Brook­lyn Bridge m ade persisten t efforts to p u t in bad m ateria l, w hat sham work m ay we not expect in less carefully ■watched buildings! Sam Slick knows th e people—oh! now he loves the dear people and his pocket-book—and Sam Sfick goes everyw here and gets his hand into m ost everything. And, when he doe.s, look ou t fo r sham goods and sham work. Men who are least fitted crow d into high positions and a ttem p t to do the work for which they have no tra in ­ing aud no native gifts. T his gives us sham officials and sham legislation, sham preachers and doctors, teachers and business m en. And, as these quacks crow d into all these im portan t places, doing botch w ork and seem to prosper, a g rea t m any young men, looxing to them for exam ples, decide th a t they can do as well to ac t on this sham plan.

B ut m en of real qualities, m en who do so lid work, are specially needed now— the men who will do good, faithful w ork anyw here, a t any time. T here has been enough of shoddy and sham m ing. T h is m iserable hab it has taken a g rea t bo ld on large num bers of our people. B u t it is tim e th a t hold was I’elaxed. I t is tim e we dem anded th a t sham m en g ive place to true genuine men, and sham articles to good and wholesome ones. We ask ou r readers to take a de­term ined stand against all sham s. Be a real man, o r a real woman. L earn to <io thoroughly w hat you do. And do it in such a thorough m anner th a t no one will ever be able to accuse you of sham w ork.

We can hard ly th ink of anything m ore unp leasan t than for a m an to leave to those who succeed him, after he is dead, the discovery th a t the w ork which he did and w hich they would like to th in k of with pardonable pride, is after a ll a m iserable piece of sham . Don’t leave this kind of a legacy to your chil- •drcn. And teach the young to do good, thorough work. For the boy or g irl w ho is Drought up to do thorough work, aud hate sham s and despise sham ers, is no t likely to change when grow n up. I t is no t from the ranks of such boys and g irls th a t the hum an sharks come who p rey upon society, who. for selfish gain, fill the world w ith fraud and erro r and m isery and sufTering, yes, and oftenw ith death. W ho shall num ber theyictim s of sham ; they who die from im ­pure food, or vile drugs, o r accidents everyw here on sen anu land for which sham is responsible! Friends, let us be su re th ab o u r work and our influence is n o t on the side of sham . And so far as we can, le t us keep the next generation free from any such m iserable legacy as sham s entail. —Golden Rule.

H ot-W eather Hygiene.

At this sea-son of the year everybody is liable to sudden sickness, es}>ecially children, which illne.ss, if one under­stood the laws of health and practiced them , m ight in m ost cases be avoided. Sudden changes in the atm osphere are one g rea t cause. People are not apt to notice the changes soon enough, or to tak e the precaution of . assum ing a th icker garm en t till they feel “ chill}-,” and so a cold is taken , and a cold de­ranges the whole system. S itting in a d rau g h t of a ir in a hot day is anot her im pruden t th ing th a t is of very fre­quen t occurrence, and is the re.sult of thoughtlessness; for there is no one who has arrived a t years of discretion but knows better th a n to sit or stand where the wind blows upon him. Rheum atic troubles, neu ra lg ia and ague, arc often the efl’ects of th is im prudence. D rink­ing freely of cold w a te r when exceed­ingly warm, is ano ther careless practice ■often indulged in, and colic, cholera m orbus and o ther sudden palnS are proiiuced. People do not th ink ; the <Miol w ater is so acceptable! A fter a few hard lessons, (hey ought to learn w isdom by experience and do different­ly ; bu t the g iea t trouble is, the m ass of peop le do not trace out the cause ofeiokness. Th<w accept the effect as a v isitation of Providence—a disciplineth a t is sen t upon th em —and even cou- *ole them selves with the com forting 4ext. “ th a t whom the Lord loveth He

Fish From th e G reat Lahes.

This city is one of the m ost im p o rt­an t lake fish-distributing m arkets on the entire chain of the g re a t lakes. A very small portion of the whitofish, lake trout, yellow pike and bass th a t are daily sen t to the E astern cities from here, however, is taken from near-by waters. N early all of the fish th a t are shipped East in the wiifter tim e are caught during the previous fall. They are brought from Lakes Superior, M ichigan and H uron, the sm aller sup­ply com ing from Lakes Flrie and O nta­rio. They are tran.sported in refrigera t­or-cars and stored for the w in ter trade , the dem and for lake fish hav ing in­creased so of late years th a t it is im pos­sible for w inter fishing to supply it.

' ered theLake Superior is considered the best of the lakes for fish. I ts w ater Is m ore like th a t of springs th an any of the o th ­ers. W hitelish and lake tro u t taken from Superior com m and b e tte r priees than the sam e ^sh taken from any o ther lake. They like deep w ater, and are frequently taken from a depth of 300

If. Theyfee*. They are w orth $120 a ton, andare taken principally in gill nets. On

Ste. M arie the Indiathe Sault Ste. M arie the Indians have a novel m ethod of catch ing whitefish. Two Indians go w ith a canoe in to the rapids. One occupies the bow and one the stem . The la tte r uses a paddle to keep the boat’s head up stream . The form er has a pole w ith which to steady the boat, stand ing u p rig h t in his place. They take with them a d ip-net four feet in diam eter, attached to a pole or handle fifteen feet long. This is placed ready t.> the hand of the Indian in. the bow. The fishing is done a t the foot of the rapids, w here the w ater boils and tum ­bles furiously. W ith his pole the Indian in the bow holds the canoe o r lets it float steadily sidewise, now up a little, perhaps, and then down, b u t alw ays under perfect controL The Indian gazes constantly into the w ater, which 18 often ten leet deep w here they are fishing, and the depths of which no white m an was ever ye t able to school his eye to penetrate . Suddenly he seizes the net by the handle w ith one hand, still m an inu la ting the boat w ith the other, and plunges the net in to the water, perhaps ten m et away, th ru sting it to the bottom. T hen he giv^es it a peculiar twi.st, draw s it up, and tu rn s out into the boat often as m any us half a dozen whitefish, w eighing from three to five pounds. These Ind ian fisher­men are unerring in casting their n e ts , ' and it is not an uncom m on th ing for them to cap tu re th ree hundred white- fish in a day. How they are able to see the fish in the bottom of the rap id s is a m ystery no one has yet been able to fathom.

The fishermen on the g rea t lakes, es­pecially in Lake Superior, follow a peril­ous calling, and m any lose th e ir lives in the violent storm s (hat sweep sud­denly over the lakes. Form erly i t was necessary for the fishermen to sa lt down their catches, but since the introduction of refrigerator oars th a t is unnecssary. Yellow pike come chiefly from Lakes Huron and O ntario; blue pike? and black bass from Lake Erie. Blue pike arenot found in any o ther la k e ,e x c ep t very rarely in Ontario. The l)C8t bullheadsare caugh t in Ontario, although Erie supplies a good quality of bu llheads.— Buffalo Cor. N. I'. Hu7i.

A Simple Remedy for Sun-Stroke*

A w rite r in the New Y ork Herald sign ing him self “ J . G. F .,” tells of a simple, cure for sun-stroke, o r p ro stra ­tion from heat. I t is certa in ly w orth republishing. The tria l of the rem edy can certa in ly do no harm in cases whore the services of a physician cannot be speedily secured a fte r the pros­tra tio n nas occurred. The w riter inthe Herald says:

“ In a recen t issue of your p ap er ap ­pears a list of fifteen persons ‘ proft- tra ted by the heat of yesterday.^ Of one of this num ber it is said th a t he ‘died before the arriv.al of a physician ,’ and of another, * he died in the am bu­lance on the way to Bellevue H ospita l.’

“ About fifteen years ago I discov­ered a speedy rem edy for sun-stroke. I have had quite a num ber of cases which I trea ted according to this rem ­edy, and in every instance the p a tien t has been able to w alk hom e in less than two hours. The recipe has been pub­lished for several sum m ers in the New Orleans new spapers and was p to tty uni­versally copied. I t has received the approval of several physicians, coro­ners, and captains of police, who, from personal know ledge of its efficacy, have so indorsed it. No m an need die in an am bulance nor while aw aiting the arrival of a physician.

“ Any cool-headed m an o r w om an can relieve the sufferer a t once and w ithout fear of any evil consequences. The m ethod is sim ple and easily ca rried out. The following is a ll th ere is to do: D rag the body into the nea rest shade; p lace uin a s ittin g position against a wall, a

y tn ing th a t w ill be a supporttree, o r an; for the back; loosen the co llar of* the sh irt of dress; th row ice-cold w ater over the head copiously; give a p re ttyA. xX* M — c a t~ ... _ ^ A ■ _ ■ - f - -stiff dose of the essence of Ja m a ica irih

L lg e r—say an ounce o r m ore—to a half glass of w ater. K eep u p the applica- trion of w ater a fte r the g inger has been given, bu t m oderately , ana need not be ice-cold. L e t the p a tien t have p len ty of a ir around him. and in half an hour’s tim e he will ge t irp and w alk hom e or to a s tree t car. T his is all the tre a t­m en t necessary, and i t is based on com ­m on sen^e. T he oppression on £he brain caused by the heat is relieved by the cold w ater, and the blood is sent from the head to the body. T he g inger (if no t ob tainab le im m ediately, b randy will answer, though the essence of r in ­g e r is the strongest s tim u lan t and quick­est) p revents ancemia, o r lack of blood, by stim u la ting the vessels a n d sending ' fresh Wood to the brain .

“ This is the p rincip le In a nutshell.and if the police w ere in structed to pro

e m an n er I have here ind ica tceed in the m an n er I have here ind icat­ed both physicians and ambulaUcds could be dispensed tfjth . T he la tte r do m ore in ju ry th an good, f o r ' the person sun-struck should h e as qu iet-as possi­ble; to jo lt him over the rough streets is to lend assistance to the a ttack already m ade upon h im .”

The ofBoer resides in a house belonging to the father of the would-be murderer. The astailanta a tinker named P. B. Warner, was ejeotem from the house for being disorderly. Hub- sequently he armed himself with a twenty- two-caliber revolver, and, exp^W8ing his intention to kill Philllpps and then take bis own life, sought for and proceeded to shoot his man. Pbillipps was standing in McGrath’s grocery store when Warner began firing. Deadly aim was taken, as the first shot lodged in the elbow, which was thrown up to guard the head. PbO- lipps grappled with his assailant, but b^ fore be had him in subjection received two more w ounds, one in the left wrist and the other in the left thigh, three inches below the pelvis.

“ LOOK OUT FO R T H E R N O IN E.”• , .I am a locomotive engineer, and have been for twen­

ty year*. and am now running on Uk-Maine Central liatlrood. Life on aa engine, as all etiklecor* know, li very trying to health and strength. The continual Jar ottheengina and strain on Our long trips uU tend to weaken the kidneys and urinary organs. In addition to this, ten years ago, I mot with a severe accident, and I was taken from under my engine with severe Internal Injuiica, which gave me great pain. I was laid up for six months, and suffered more than I can deaciibo, and moro than I wish to suffer again. I resumed work, but my kidneys began U> disturb me, anil my nervous sys tern seemed to be out o f ord*r. I could 'not sleep, aa my water demanded such constant attention that I was kept awake a gnrat part of the night: to urinate caused Bcvere pains. I employed the best medical skill In Portland and clsewlieiT. but continued to grow worse.

I was persuaded to try Hunt's liemody, ns I found that many of my frletKls In Portland liad used It with great aoccess. yet I bad uo faith that It would reach my Case. However, I sent fur a half dozen bottles at one of the drug stores, lu Portland, and from the use of the first bottle found a great relief. My water was much better and tlie pain In (he bark and limbs grt-nlly re­lieved. I continued Its use until I bad used ten trottles drall, and It has been to me a wonderful blessing, and I have deemed It a duty and privilege to recommend It to those troubled in a similar manner; and you may publish this for the benefit of our railroad men and the public lagcBeral, aa It baa completely cured me.

SEAW i^ED TOI^IC,

M A N D R A K E P ILLS.As the proprietor of these medicinea I conscien­

tiously offer them to the pul>llc m safe, reliable sgd certain remedlw d r tba 0«y*« of ConsasspUon, aad with equal confidence aa sHnoat a specific for those morbid conditions of tbe body, which. If neglected, are apt to terminate In fatal diseases of ihe lungs. I claim that the use ' of my temedlea wlU cure Co^ •Dmption.

I do not claim that the disease can be cured after tbe lungs arc destroyed, fior no luedftlne can create new ones; but 1 mUntaln that tbe first stages of Con­sumption are curable, even when the lungs are partially decayed. When one lung Is sound I am almost cer­tain o f makings odre. If ttw pstlent will take proper care of himself arid follow my direction's.

It may be asked : ‘' How is It that you can know so much about this disease, and pretend to cure It, when so many educated phystclans, who have made a study of it for years, pronounce Klncarable?"

The question Is a fair one, and shall be fairly an­swered: I dq.SPi S lg ita ^ J ^ y w more than other physicians about the causes, nature and history of Consumption. I suppose that my views on these points would be found to agree with those of most educated and luteillgent physicians. We shonld agree that while tlKJlral oouse la obecure—In other words, while It Is not possible to say uAp Consumption selects this or that person as a victim—yet the preditpostng causea are :

1st, InherUance. Consumption Is hereditary In a wonderful degree. One parent very often entails It upon the offspring, and both still more frequently, so that whole families arc often swept away, and hand the predisposition down to their children.

2d. Cold. By this wc do not mean those changes of weather which often produce Inflammation; but long- continued and steady cold, so that a condition of de- bllUy Is prodneed. Indeed, whatever tends to pro­duce long-contlnUed debiffiy Will, In some persons, gerlerate Pnlmbrthfy-Ocmsnfriptlo'n. Prominent among theae Influences are iosuinclent diet, living In an un­wholesome air, sedenUkry habits, grief, anxiety,'dis­appointment, whether of the affections or in busi­ness, and all other depressing emotions; tbe abuse of mercury and the Influence of weakening dlseascA I also agree with the best doctors as to the manner in which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Con- sumplion is also called Tuberculou* Consumption, by which we mean a disease of the lungs caused by tubercles. A tubercle Is a small, roundish body, which Is deposited In tbe substance of the lungs by the blood. This Is the beginning and first act of the dis­ease. Many of these arc often deposited at once. Each one undergoes several changes. After producing Inflammation of the parts of the lung next to It, It ends In ulceration, opens a passage Into the bronchial tubes, and pastes oat at the mouth by spitting. The place where tbs tubercle grew and ripened now be­comes a cavity, and where there are a great many tubercles, of course they make a great many of these little cavities, which gradnally unite and leave great holes In the longs. Unless a stop can be pnt to this proccat. It will go on nntll the substance of the longs Is consumed and death ensues.

Of course I agree with the faculty upon the symp­toms and course of the disease; the short, dry, back­log cough, so slight at first, bat gradually Increasing; then shortness of breath, a quickening pulse, then fe­verish sensations, flushing of the checks and hea; In tbe palm of the hands and soles of the feet; tbe slight but growing emaciation, with feeble appetite, hemor* rbagea, Increasing cOugh. disturbed sleep, fevered tongue, then loss of appetite, taken to the bed. then expectoration of softeued tubercle In the shape of small lumps of yellowish, cheesy, or curdy matter; hectic fever, bri-liani eye, chills, night sweau, sharp pains In the side. Increasing emaciation and debility, disordered stomach and bowels, diarrhcea, nausea, swollen cxtremlliso, hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, Wrakqcss to great that expsctorailon It Impossible; than death, bringing welcome relief from the tortures of tbit horrid monster.

How, as I have said. I naloly agree with the medteal faculty on these points. But when we come to the treatment of the dlsctic 1 differ from It totally. The doctors believe Pulmonary ConsumptI n caiinn be cured. Therefore they do not try to do anything more than to smooth the pstkm's path to the grave, r.Ad seem quite reckless of the medicines they give, so tha Ih-patient Is kept comfortable and eaey. even If his life Is shortened. soon as tubercles begin to appear In the lungs of a patient. It is a common practice with many leading pliytlclans to begin dosing with whisky In Increasing quantities, until the ravages of excessive drsm-drlnklng arc added to the ravage* of the dis­ease; and I have yet to hear of a tingle case of Con- snmptlon which was cured by stimulants. I can say the tame of, Cod Liver Oil. Many physicians sena their patients away from home on distant voyages, to Minnesota or Florida—anything or anywhere so that they may die easy. For they do not pretend to cure, and they have no remedies which will do so. Now I say not only that diseases of the lungs can be cured, but that my medlclnrs do cure them. The proof W, that by Ihetr ute Ihoueandl o/ ContumpUvet have been and are now belna cured by them.

The whole science of medicine Is based on experi­ments. Wc cannot by any process of n;asonlng decide that any particular medicine will help or cure a ty par­ticular disease. IIow was It found that (jiilnliie will core Chilli and Fevers? Why. by trying one ibln* after another, until exporienoe demonstrated that It w»* a spee.lflc for tha-. disease. Inja.sttbat way tIte knowledge was gained of my remedies, which sro al- ■io-<l aapt’clflc In diseases of ib; lungs

Pulmonary Consomptlon Is hereditary in my fatk- ei’s family. HIs father, mother, brothcra and sisters died of It, and he had r.-ached almost the last sisgi-s of the dJicsac when bs wss providentially led to exi-eri- mcDt with the articles whlqh arc Incorporated lu iheso

Aa Elephsat’s PaaisluaeBLT hoogh the white elephant, and a ll

e lephants in Indo<Jhina, are held invery high honor, they do not alw ays oo* onpy a very creditable place in th e fa­bles of the people. T here is a long story in the N on-thnkpakkaranam about an elephant, Yukunson, who went wild, and rushed about th e forest in mad fashion. H e came upon a clum p of .bamboos, to re it down, and s ta m p ^ to death the fledglinga of a pair of hedge- roarrowB, who had the ir nest there. The bereaved paren ts were in g rea t tribulation, and flu ttered about, bewail­ing their wrongs. A crow who flew by was touched by the ir sorrow, and after giving them a deal of religious advice, such as g rudg ing W esterns would be­lieve him incapable of knowing about, he promised to see th a t rig h t should be done. T he th ree of them , therefore, w ent off and struck up an alliance w ith th e frog, and thed enlisted the fly bn th e ir side.

This partnersh ip did n o t seem very form idable, b u t the genius of the frog and the crow, both of whom in the story exhibit g rea t wisdom and reasoning power, b rought about a final trium ph. T he crow flew over Yukunson, the ele­phant, and ]^ecked a t his eyes. Io the wounds the fly laid eggs. These b red maggots, and the e lephan t’s eyes be­came terrib ly inflamed and he Loet his sight. H e w andered about the forest in to rture, and wherever he went the hedge-sparrows flew ohattsving abou t b is head, abusing him and exulting in ibis agony. To his o ther m isery was added th a t of burn ing th irst. T he frog seated him self on th e edge of a deep abyss and croaked vigorously to m ake th e e lephant th ink th e re was w ater {there. Yukunson followed the sound, and , falling over th e cliff, was dashed to pieces.

N evertheless, before he dies he m oral­izes on th e wickedness into which even th e m ost pious are led, and acknowl­edges the righteouBuess of the fate iWhich has befallen him. H is rep en t­ance is real, and saves him from th e evil transincorporation which should have been the portion of so bad an ac­tion, b u t which would have been too g re a t a punishm ent in the popular idea for BO estim able a c rea tu re as the ele- phanL — L o n d o n S a tu rd a y R eview .

in fact all so rts th a t come under the general head of “g u t,” are made from th e en trails of lam bs and cattle, from th e delicate th reads used for sewina racket-ball covers up to the half-inch th ick round belts. A fter a lam b is seven m onths old its en tra ils are no longer fit for m aking strings for v io lins; consequently, th is branch of the m anu­fac tu re can only be carried on a few m onths in each year. All the work of m aking gpit-strings is abont the same, b u t g rea ter care has to be exercised in p reparing those in tended for m usical m strum en ts th an others. The process in m anufacturing these is com paratively sim ple, b u t far from easy. W hen the en tra ils , for which a good price has to b e paid, are thoroughly cleaned, they a re sp lit w ith a razor. Only one-half is fit for use in violin strings. T h a t is th e upper o r sm ooth half. T he lower half is fatty , rough and of unequal thickness. T he strip s are p u t th ro u g h ro llers tu rn ed by hand for e igh t or nine days to take a ll the s tre tch o u t of them . T hen they are spun o r tw isted. F ive o r six strands go to m ake an E string , e igh t or nine an A s t r in g and tw enty a re p u t into a D string. T hen they go th ro u g h a bleaching bath of su lp h u r fum es. A fter th a t they are tw isted again. T hen they are softened in pearl- ash water, again subjected to th e action of the su lphur fumes, tw isted again, d ried , and finally rubbed down sm ooth w ith pumice-stone. A ltogether it takes ten or eleven days to make a . string . W hen done they are each seventy-two inches long—four lengths for a violin— and th irty of them coiled separately and tied t i^ e th e r make up the “bundle” o f th e trade.

Man and Wife.L u cy Stone complains th a t ,the law

does n o t give a m an’s wife m ore p rop­e rty . B u t th e law, in some cases, is very good to th e wife. F o r instance, a m an m ay say to his wife: “ I will be ju st. I will take half the property, and yon m ay take the o ther half. ” T he wrife takes he r half, spends it on seal saoques, sp ring bonnets, etc., and pres­en tly has noth ing left. T hen the law says th a t, aK hough th e woman has w asted the money th a t w^euld have sup-

e p o rted her th rough life, h e r husband m ust take his money and pay i t ou t th a t she may have food and clo th ing and continue to paralyze a ll o th er fe­m ales in th e m atter of d ress.—L o u ie - viU e C o u r ie r -J o u rn a l
