DESCRIPTION OF A FAILING MOUNTAIN.
Mr.. SIMoNp, q FSsnchman, who formerly
resided in the United States, md who probably
IS known to some of our readers as the author
of a Tourin Great Britain, has lately publish
Cd Book of travels, entitled " S,ritseriond,

"The summer Of 1906" says Mr..
1imond, : had been very rainy. and on
the first and second of September it
rarned necessarily. New crevices were
observed In the flank of the mountain,
a sort OF cracking nolss was heard in

seemed pressed down from above, and

iis found herself janxed in 90 ali
sides, with her head downwards, much
bruised and in extreme pain. She sup
posed she was buried alive, at great
depth. With much difficulty, abe dis
engaged her right hand and wiped the
blood from her eyes. Presently she
heard the faint means of Marianne, and
called to her by her name. The child
answered that she was on her back a
mosg stones and bushes, which held
her fast, but that her hands we're free,
and that she saw the light and even
something green. She asked whether
people would not soon come and take
them out. Francisco answered that it
was the day of judgment. and no one
was left TO help them, but that they
would be released by death and would
be happy in Heaven, They prayed to-
gether. At last Francisca's ear was
struck by the sound of a bell, which
she knew to be that of Steinberg.
Then z o'clock struck in another vii
lage, and sbs began to hope that there
were still living beings, and endeavor-
ed to comfort the child. The poor lit
tie girl was at first clanarous for her
supper; but her cries soon became
fainter, and at last died away. Fran
cisca, still with her head downward, and
surrounded with damp earth, expert
enced sense of cold almost insuPPort"
able. After prodigious efforts she sue
ceeded in disengagipg her legs, and
thinks this saved her life, Many hours
had passed in this situation, when she
again heard the voice of Marianne, who
had been asleep and now renewed her
lamentations. In the meantime, the
unfortunate father, who with much diff
iculty had saved himself and two chill
dren, wandered about until day light,
when he came among the ruins to look
for the rest of his family. He soon dis
covered his wife by . foot, which ap
peared above ground; she was dead,
with child in her srmse His cries,
and the noise he made in digging, were
heard by Marisnns, who called out.
She was exkricated with broken thigh,
and saying that Franchises was not far
off, further search led to her release
also, butin such state that her life was
despaired of. She was blind for some
days, and remained subject to convul-
sive fits of terror. 1t appeared that the
hosse, or themselves at least,l had
been carried down about one thousand
FIVE hundred feet from where it stood.

RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION.

The Persian, it is said, will endure
suffocation before he will blow the fire
with his breath The Indian places 50
prsms perfection in besmearing him
self with cow-dung. The Musseman
believes himself purified from all his
sins by the ablution of his head and
arms. The only question with him is,
"Whether the ceremony ought to be-
gin at the elbow or at the points of the
fingers" But so great is the difference
OF opinion on this head, that if two Ma
hometans meet on a journey, and &C.
cost each other with brosherly affec-
ton, by the one beginning his ablutions
at his fingers ends, and the other at
his elbow, they instantly seperate and
become mortal enemies.
