Two years ago she graduated,

emulate the examples of the nobility
of past generations" she said, "and
let our aspirations direct us toward

New York World.
Behemoth, the baby hippopotamus Of the
Aquarium, was found dead IN his bed yes
terday morning. He had seemed to be in
good health on Monday night, and had re-
tired in good humor at his usual hour. His
guardian, DR.. Oscar Kohn, between whom
and himself there existed the tenderest
friendship, carefully tucked the clothes in
around him and bade him "Good night"
and he soon after dozed of into pleasa1 1t
sleep. A post-mertem examination vas
made, and it was found that Behsmoth had
died of consumption. His remains were
sent to taxidermist for preservation. The
baby hippopotamus belonged to Mr.. P. T.
Barnum's happy family. At the time of
his death he was only 2 years and II
months old, and weighed $50 pounds. He
was born on the banks Of the White Nile,
and was kidnapped by an expedition very
soon after his birth. He was brought mp
ON the bottle, goats milk being used for his
food, ON account Of its Superior strength
and richness, and he thrived 30 well that If
he had lived until maturity he would have
attained the remarkable weight of 8,o00
pounds. Behemoth was the only domesti-
Gated hippopotamus ever known. He was
early taught to open his mouth i'm order to
show the inside of bis throat, which was
very large, and it is thought that this habit
of perfunctory gaping may have had some
thing to do with his death, the raw Ameri-
can weather thus gaining an easy access to
his internal economy. He shed his milk
teeth about a year age, and was about get
ting new set.

THE BRIDAL VEIL.

We're married, they say and you think you have won
Well, take this white veil from my head and look
on me
Here's matter to vex you and matter to grieve vou
Here's doubt to dstrust you and faith believe YOU
am ALL as you see common earth, common dew,
Be wary and mold me to roses not rue!
All! shake out the flmy thing, fold after fold,
And see if you haye me to keep aud to hold
Look close on my healt-see the worst of it's sin
ming
IL Is not yours to-day for the yesterdays winning
The past is not mine-I am too proud to borrow
You must grow to neG heie hts if love you tomor-
row.
We're married! I'm plighted to hold up 20 ur praises
As the turf at my feet doth its handful of daises
That way lies my honor-my pathway of pride,
But mark You if greeher grass grow either side,
| shall know it. and keeping in body with you,
Shall walk in my spirit with feet on the dew!
We're married Oh, pray that our love do not fail,
/ haYe wings fattened down and hid under my veil;
They are subtle as light-you can never undo them,
And swift in their ight-you never pursue them,
And spite of all clasping and spite of all bands
can slip like shadow, dream, from your hands
Nay, cali me not cruel and fear not to take me-
am yours for my lifetime 10 be what you make me
To wear my white veil for sign or cover,
As you shall be proven my lord or my lover;
A cover for peace that is dead or token
0f bliss that can never be written or spoken.

TIE KELLY MOTOR.
DECLARED BY AN ENGINEER 10 BE NOT
ONLY A DELUsIoN BUT A FRAUD.

Philadelphia Times.
The report of Mr.. T. B. Knight, of this
city, secretary of the Franklin Institute,
who has been for several months engaged
in examining the so-called KeeIy motor u
has just been made public. 1t takes
ground, which if well founded, is very
damaging to Mr.. Keely and his motor.
The examination was made on the invita-
ton of the alleged inventor, to the end, as
he said, that the conclusions of the eng-
neer might be published to determine
whether his claims are just or not. Secre-
airy knight says he was promised the op-
portunlty of making a complete examina-
tion of the motor and all pertaining to it.
Mr.. Knights report is long and apparently
conclusive. The substance of it is that
the gauge, graduated to register $4,000
pounds, has been so altered as to make a
small pressure indicate very large one;
that the movement Of the engine was not
caused by tie motor at all, but by COM
pressed air, which had been stored in 12bb
gallo sphere; this was not easily observed,
as there was confusing number of cocks
and pipes, and Mr.. Keely constantly drew
the observers attent ion to other things;
there were concealed cylinders and many
other devices calculated to deceive. Mr..
Knights conclusions are: That the ma
chine called the multiplication" with its
attachments, including the so-called "re-
acting DEVICE" gre not capable of preduc-
ing the effects claimed, and that their enor-
nous strength is entirely unnecessary in
sustaining the pressure to which they are
subjected, but are rather calculated to as
tonish and mislead those who witness his
that the extreme high pres
sure claimed was not produced, probably
in no case exceeding five hundred pounds
per square inch, and that the readings of
the gauges and weighted lever were incor-
rect that the so-called vacuum was not
tion of the alleged vapor, but by mechani-
cal means, such as a previousIy-exhausted
chamber, or it's equivalents; that the sub
stance used and claimed by Mr.. Keely to be
a new vapor of his own discovery is simply
atmospheric air, which had been previous
ly compressed and stored up in the various
hollow spheres and other chambers of she
apparatus in the intervals between the ex-
perimeDts. Charles M. Kresson, M D.,
ON the request of Mr.. Knight, analyzed
some of the s'vapor" which was bottled
up for the purpose, and found it nothing
but atmospheric air.

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING ON THE TELE-
PHoNE.-The Hartford Post has the follow
ing on the effect of lightning on a tele-
phone: son Sunday morning, when the
sudden flash of lightning was seen, and was
followed by sharp peal of thunder, DR..
John A. Stevens was using the telephone
extending from his home on High street TO
the drug store in the Hotel Capitol. The
clerk at the drug store had his ear at the
tube listening for communication from
the doctor, when, simultaneously with the
peal of thunder, he received a severe shock
in the ear, the report sounding like the dis
charge of gun. His power of hearing
was more or less affected all day. DR.. Ste
vens saw flash of electricity play about
his end of the instrument, and on examin-
alton, it was found that the delicate insu-
lated wire had been entirely destroyed by
the lightning. Had the doctor been speak
ing at the tube at the time of the flash, he
would probably have been dangerously in
iured. The owners of the telephone were
planning TO put lightning arresters on
this week, and Sundays warning will no
doubt hasten the precautionary measures.

A Brave Miner.

Some time ago Jack Kermeen, foreman
of the Hamburg mine, had just gone down
on the $50 level of the mine, on his usual
round of inspection, when his attention was
called to man crawling out of an 8o-foot
Wine, who fell fainting as soon as he reach
ed the floor of the drift. Jack rushed to
the man, found him insensible, and saw at
once that it was case of foul air, and it
flashed across his mind that there were
more miners In the bottom of that drift. To
rush to another portion of the mine and
summon assistance, grab rope, hurry back
and start down the wings ladder was but
the work of moment. Reaching the bot
tom he found them lying in a stupor and
insensible. He attached the rope to the
body of one of them, sang out to the miners
who had gathered at the mouth of the wing
to haul away, which they did with win,
and soon landed him on top. The opera
tion was repeated with the other two, and
then Jack, dizzy and faint, climbed out, his
temples throbbing with pain and nearly
UN61GOtAO AaAAASCAs
Some time ago Jack was working in the
Atlas mine, putting in blastsat the bottom
of the so foot winze, IN company with a
brother miner. Everything being ready to
fire it, his companion lit the FIRE, and both
started up the ladder, Jack ahead. He had
climbed about 90 feet when his partner
shouted that he was about to faint. With
out moments hesitation Jack skipped
back, and just as the man relaxed his hold
succeeded In grabbing death grip to his
shirt. 1t was fearfully heavy burden, the
man weighing 200 pounds; bat, putting
forth all his muscular energies, he slowly
climbed the ladder, round by round, the in
sensible miner embarrassing his progress
by his contortions. It was almost certain
death unless he succeeded in getting out Of
reach Of the explosion, and his progress
seemed to be painfully slow; but he hung
on and was within ten feet of the top before
the blast went off--a sufficient distance to
place him and his load out of harms way.
Half o dozen rounds more brought him to
the surface of the drift, where he deposited
the man and fell exhausted beside him.
