The Dance Of Death.

1t was New Years night at Cole Camp,
sixteen miles from Sedalia, No., and
there was bar in the ballroom. A
young man, while dancing near the
counter, staggered, fell to the floor, and
broke his nose. 1t was so common an
incident that no attention was paid to it.
The man lay on the floor for half an
hour, and the dance went on. A physi-
clan came in, felt the mans pulse, and
gravely remarked that he would die in a
short time. The dance went on. In
twenty minutes the man was dead. AS
the walters whirled by the corpse, they
chatted pleasantly about the cause of
death. Some thought that it was the
bad quality of the whisky; others at
tributed it to undue indulgence in Kim.
mel; others said it was the shock caused
by the fall; others mentioned heart dis
ease. But the dance went on at Camp
Cole until daybreak, although the man
under the bar had increased his distance
from Sedalia.

Curious History OF a State.

The territory now known as the State
of Wisconsin was claimed by France on
the ground of discovery by its mission
aries and teachers in 1890, who governed
it until they ceded it to Great Britain.
IL was held by the British nation until
1882, when she ceded all her possessions
northeast of the Ohio to the United
States. Wisconsin was then thrown un-
der the Territorial Government of Ohio
by the ordinance of 1887. On the 4th
of July, 1900, the Indian Territory was
organized, and it was attached to that
Territory until April 18th, 1918, when
Illinois became State. 1t was then at
tached to the Territory of Wisconsin,
July 4, 1886; SO that Wisconsin was gov
erned by the King of France ninety
three years the King of Great Britain
twenty years by the State of Virginia
one year by the Territory of Ohio six
teen years, by the Indian Territory nine
years I; by Illinois Territory nine years,
and by Michigan Territory eighteen
years. She continued Territory of the
United States nearly twelve years,
when, on the 18th of March, 1848, she
became the thirtieth State of the Amer
lean Union.

I don't know how Langley and vir-

/ don't know how Langley and Vir-
ginia was occupied till my return; but
when Frank thrust his latch-key into the
door, Virginia flew out of the library,
and tried, with q few incoherent SEN
tences, to prepare me for seeing some
thing. The consequence was, that, when
pushed the door open in very bewil-
dered frame of mind, and saw Langley
smiling at me, was terrified almost out
of my senses, and came near fainting.
To the best of my recollection, the
household sat up nearly all night, though
finally, after 1 had heard the whole
story, been speechless over Virginia's
bravery, and hugged Fred-now asleep
in the arm m-chair-Frank dragged me of
to bed.
/ don't know that Langley and Vir-
ginia sat there till morning, but GER
tainly the first persons saw upon com
ing down to breakfast were themselves,
on the identical sofa where had left
them.
Langley's story is too long one to be
told here. Suffice it to say that being
on deck when the Tecumseh sunk, he
had been able to strike out from the
sinking ship, and, under cover of the
smoke and roar of battle, to swim ashore.
There, however, he was taken prisoner.
and kept in close confinement for some
months, finally making his escape.
Coming direct to Frank for intelligence
before presenting himself to his family,
he had stopped to light cigar under
the gaslight, where Virginia had mis-
taken him for policeman. He had
known her instantly, and probably only
her fright and agitation prevented her
from recognizing his voice, which, as
he mischievously told her, he did not
disguise in the least.
Alice and her accomplice we're identi-
fed by the police as old offenders. The
woman had carried on a systematic pill
fering at the Temples, and was an ac-
complished hypocrite. To my intense
qualification the pair were sentenced for
full term in Sing Sing.
Langley and Virginia were married
very soon after. Frank gave away the
lovely little bride, whose fair girlish
bloom had come back to her, and who,
under the influence of love, seemed a
different woman from the pale, sad
creature who had moved so quietly
about the house.
They idolize each other, and think
have quite forgiven Grandma Chichester
and poor Horace Kent. Fred has al
ways been great pet with his aunt for
his bravery on the night of the attempt
ed burglary.
Between Fred's boasting and my sly
teasing, poor Frank will never be allowed
to forgee his instrumentality in intro
ducing me to such ga perfect treasure.

Gold Feet.

It is Just the season for cold feet, and
many ills are attendant upon lack of
circulation in the extremities. People
who are troubled with cold extremities
are apt to have headaches, loose their
appetite and feel bad continually, and
these results can only be avoided by
removing the cause, which seems very
little thing to do, but very few are will
ing to do it.
First of all, the shoes or boots must
not be worn 80 tight as to prevent the
circulation. No dictation of false pride
should be allowed in this matter for
there is too much at stake.
Second, for winter there is no cover.
ing 80 good to be next the feet as
woolen. 1t serves double purpose, of
being q good non conductor of heat and
thus holds the heat of the body, and
through slight irritation of the surface
keeps up O circulation in the capillaries
next the skin, thus creating warmth.
If the feet ere once thoroughly chilled
it is not the wisest plan to warm them
by placing in water well heated, but far
better to wash them thoroughly in water
from which simply the chill has been
taken, then with crash towel rub the
surface until it is red with blood, and
the feet burning under the friction.
This method is good one to preserve
the warmth Of the feet If used before the
exposure.

Costly Laces and Jewelry.

Queen Isabella, of Spain, possesses q
collection of old laces which cannot be
equaled in Europe, and which is worth
several millions. Productions of all
countries, kinds and ages are there, all
perfect in work, and of infinite richness.
One dress of point D'Alencon is worth
more than 100, 900 francs. Some full
sets of trimmings in old point,
belonging to Her Majesty, are in
themselves fortune. That collec-
ton of lace is the pendant to that of
cashmeres belonging to Queen Victoria,
which is estimated at not less than
5000, 600 of francs. Her Majesty pos
sesses India shawls to which the labor
of more than twenty years had been de-
voted, and which, at no matter what
price, could not be reproduced at pres
ent-existing workmen having lost the
secret of such an art. We do not speak
of certain shawls woven with the threads
of gold, and in which the embroidery is
ornamented with pearls and diamonds.
Turning to other matters of female or
namentation, we can say that the finest
emeralds In feminine jewelry are pos
sessed by the Empress Elizabeth OF
Austria, just as the richest and most
perfect collection of rubies extant is the
property of the Grand Duchess of SAKE
Weimer, grand daughter of Paul l.,
Emperor of Russia. Pearls and tur-
quoises, which are without rival, belong
to the Russian imperial family, as do
sappbires to the British house OF
Guelph. As for diamonds-except the
crown jewels of various nations-pri-
vate collections can vie with those OF
Queens, and not disadvantageously.--

Reported I'm New Britain.
[From the Pail Mall Gazette.l
A Wesleyan missionary, Rev. George
Brown, has returned in safety from an
exploration OF twenty months on the un'
known coast of New Britain and New
Ireland. He crossed the latter island,
which he found well populated. "Nc
white man was ever seen inland before,
but no opposition was offered to the ex.
plorers. A difficulty was experienced
in getting the natives to go any distance
from their villages, as they are so often
at war with one another. Plenty OF
proofs OF cannibalism were found. One
of the party, on going into one house to
light his pipe, saw woman roasting the
thigh and leg of q man who was killed
the day before" The exploring party
were interested in the curious legend OF
the tribe of :" tailed men which is met
with in many uncivilized countries, but
they did not, unfortunately, succeed in
getting any further than second hand
testimony. "The natives" it is stated,
of "Blanch Bay, New Britain, affirm
positively the existence of race of men
with tails, at place called Kali, and
deny Indignantly that they are monkeys,
asking if monkeys could fight with
spears, plant yams, make houses, etc. u
But it is significantly added that the in
teresting race dwell in the interior OF
the country, "where no white person
has ever penetrated. Mr.. Cockerell, a
naturalist, who accompanied the expedi-
ton, had special opportunities for re-
search. He was detained for some time
as a hostage in New Britain, and was
engaged in collecting" upon New
Ireland for five months. He found the
natives Every friendly" but he does not
otherwise give them q good character.
"They are all dreadful cannibals, and
there is strange custom in New Ireland
which requires that chiefs daughter
shall be kept in cage within her faith
er's house until she is of manageable
age. The cage scarcely gives her room
to move, and she cannot leave it during
any part of the day, though she is nj
lowed to take stroll with near relatives
after nightfall. When a chief dies his
body is wrapped up and placed in tree,
and the poor people are put In canoes in
the sea to float away. The natives have
large plantations, and work about two
days in the week. They live chiefly on
bananas, cocoa nuts, and pork, but they
also indulge in human flesh"

Positively the Oldest.

"The Oldest living person" is be-
lieved to be Esther Groom, colored, of
Caldwell county, Ky. Octogenarians
thereabouts say that "Aunt" Esther
was an old woman when they were chill
dren. She is believed to be not less
than 100 years old, is perfectly helpless,
her flesh shrunken to her bones, and
her skin all wrinkled and shriveled.
She can scarcely talk intelligibly,
though her mind is fair, while her
memory cannot be relied on. She lives
with her youngest son, Granville
Groom, who is himself between 80 and
80 years of age.

OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SHUT YOUR
EYES.
BY ETHEL LYNN.

Like remembered words of a wornout song
Comes piping voice from the childish throng:
Keep your mouth wide open, and shut your eyes
And Ill give you something to make you wise."
Little honest Fred, with his mouth agape,
Shut his eyelids down for a tiny nap,
But doubling Frankie prefers TO keep
vigil stern through his feigned sleep.
'Tis the echo still of the serpents speech,
That seems through the aisles of years to reach
Down from tempted Eve and the luscious sphere
To the cry Of the children's voices here,
" To make one wise" Not gaudy lure,
TO entrap the rude, untutored boor,
For the eyes that look on the bending bough
OF the Tree of knowledge open now.
On the gathered love that has gone before
On the worthless heart of the apples core,
And the open mouth for an atom waits
Or protoplasm, to pass its gates.
How the children jeer. Courage. little Ted.
Never mind the laugh of the prudent Fred,
Perchance it is better still TO trust,
Tho the month be filed with bitter dust.
IT is better. Ted maybe, after all,
To trust our way tho the heavens fall,
And with open mouth and with lidded eyes,
Still seek the gift that shall make us wise.

The failures in Canada in I

The failures IN Canada IN the last two
years, says the circular, number nearly
1000, which, occurring among $4,000
traders, is a proportion indicative of
something radically wrong in the trade
of rich country. At this rate, in ten
years every second business man in Can
ada may succumbl The gross liabilities
of failed estates during the two years are
over $50, 900, a sum barely equaled
by the entire exports of grain in that
period. OF this $50, 900 at least
$50, 900, 900 have been irrevocably lost,
and when this amount is divided among
the limited number of first hands which
comprise the merchants, manufacturers,
and bankers, the marvel Is that they
have stood these calamities with 80 few
signs of distress.
