are among the indications that general
election is near at hand. The DISPOSE
ton to nominate him in Edinburgh
in order to wrest that seat from LORD
Dalkeith displays political strategy rather
than National gratitude. 1t will hardly be
credltable to the English Liberals If Mr.
Gladstone finds any difficulty in securing
constituency. In France a statesman OF his
rank would have his choice of d dozen nonll-

Lass of Nose and Ears a Mark of Sub.
ipci M

Recent accounts from the East, says
Herbert Spencer. in Popular Science
Monthly, prove that some yanquished
men deprived Of their noses by their
conquerors. either while obviously alive
or when supposed to be dead, survive;
and those who do SO so remain identi-
fable thereafter as conquered men.
Consequently. the loss of a nose may
become the mark of slave; and, in
some cases, it does this. Concerning
certain ancient Central Americans,
Herrera tells US that they challenged
neighb0ring peoples when they want
ed slaves: if the other party did not &C.
cept of the challenge, they ravaged
their country and cut off the noses of
the slaves" And, describing a war
that went on during his captivity in
Ashantee, Ramseyer says the Asian
tees spared one prisoner, whose head
was shaved, nOse and ears cut off, and
himself made to carry the kings
drum"
Along with loss Of nose occurs, in the
last case, loss Of ears, which naturally
comes next to be dealt with. This is
similarly interpretabie as having origi-
mated from tr0phy-taking, and having
i'll some cases survived; if not as a mark
of ordinary slavery. still, rs mark Of
that other slavery which is often pun
ishment for crime. IN ancient Mexico
she who fold lie to the particular pre-
judice of another had Il part of his lip
cut off, and sometimes his ears"
Among the Honduras people a thief
had his goods confiscated, land, if the
theft was very great, they cut off his
ears and hands" One of the laws of
an adjacent ancient people, the Miz-
tees, directed the cutting off Of an
adulterer's ears, nose, or lips" and by
some of the Zapotecas, women con-
victed of adultery had their ears and
noses cut off,

Influence of Kind Words.

"A soft answer turneth away wrath,
and, not unfrequently, changeth 1t into
friendlineSs. An impressive illustra-
ton of the transmitting power there is
in gentle words once occurred TO DE
Quincy. When a lad of seventeen, he
was travelling on the outside of stage
coach. BY his side was rough fellow,
whom. for the first four or five miles,
De Quincy annoyed by occasionally
falling asleep and lurching against him
when the coach rolled TO his side. The
rough man calculated his complaint at
the annoyance in surly words.
De Quincy gently apologized, eX-
planning that he was i'll, and could not
afford to take an inside seat, and pro
missing to avoid, if he could, falling
asleep again.
Upon hearing this explanation, the
man manner instantly changed. When
De Quincy next aWoke-for he had
again fallen asleep-he found himself
lying in the mans arms, protected
from falling off the coach, and treated
with the gentleneSs Of a woman.
The incident taught De Quincy that
no human creature was beyond the
modifying influence of kind words, and
that much harshness would be prevent
ed if we better understood each other.

4 BRAVE MINER.

Some ten weeks ago Jack kermeen,
foreman Of the Hamburg mine, had Just
gone down on the 40 level of the mine,
on his usual round of inspection, when
his attention was called to man crawling
out OF an eightY-foot deep Wine, who
fell fainting as soon as he reached the
floor of the drift. Jack rushed to the
man, found him insensible, and saw at
once it was case of foul air, and it flash
! ed 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 a minute Reaching
the bottom 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 wings to haul away,
which they did with viii, anG soon
landed him on top. The operation was
repeated with the other two, and then
Jack, dizzy and faint, climbed ont his
temples throbbing with pain and very
nearly overcome himself.
Some time ago Jack was working in
the Atlas mine, putting in blast at the
bottom of ninety-foot Wine, in COM
pany with 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 20
feet when his partner shouted that he
was about to faint. Without 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; but putting forth
all his muscular energies, he slowly
climbed the ladder round by round, the
insensible miner embarrassing his pro-
gress by his cOntortions. 1t was almost
certain death unless he succeeded in get
ting 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 a dozen
rounds more brought him to the surface
OF the drift, where he deposited the man
and fell exhausted beside him. -Eurcha
