How Distance Mitigates Our Horror, at

.a
Imagination ministers but grudging-
ly to the feeling of sympathy between
/ man and man. We need to see the
ghastly spectacle sof naangled remains,
to hear the groanB0 of agony and the
shrieks Of despair,to have some men
ace of loss or danger brought home to
ourselves OF, Those, with, whom we have
some bond of connection closer than
that of the universal brotherhood, in
order to, realize the horror of a great
disaster and feel for its victims. The
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin is one Of universal selfish
ness. Perhaps it is benefeent provi-
sion that saves us from the strain rlpon'

miserable If we were forced to share in

We read OF it with o sort Of istless

fails to be at all deeply or keenly af-

life is as precious in, Hungary as La New.

pitiful there as anywhere; loss of home,
Of friends Of relatives, and of the

a Hint at q Prehistoric Mystery.

-. Recently mound was excayatea on
the farm Of Mr.. Benbow, I've miles from
Rutledge. A canal some six feet vide
was dug from the outer, base to the cen
ter. a distance Of about forty feet, and
some twelve feetsas the center. Moth
ing was discovered to tell who, Or what
race of people, we're buried there, nor
the date of their burial, but it must
have been long time ago, inasmuch as
a chestnut tree stood on the very top of
the mound, sixty-fve years ago, that
measured uearly six feet in diameter.
We found numerous human bones and
teeth under layers Of asort OF .cemented
crust all the way through the whole
distance, which dissolved into dust soon
after being dug up. Many people be-
lieye it to have been an ancient burial
place for Indians, but they never pos
sessed tools to execute the fine carvings
upon the hardest rock that have been
plowed up in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the mound for the last sixty
years, nor had they firearms to scatter
the bullets all over the surrounding
fields, and the mystery of who or what
race of people lived and died here be-
fore Columbus disccyered America still

treated the rudeness with good-natured
indifference. But at last it began to
tell on her nerves. 1t was peculiar
and astonishing piece of impertinence.
He apparently had the faculty of look
ing two ways at once. One of his eyes
was restless, excited and roved in all
directions. The other, fixed and stony,
fastened on her, with an undertaking
stare, She turned her. head away, but
it intercepted her vision. She tried to
hide behind a. paper, hut, she felt
that cruel eye piercing, through the
screen, and creeping with a stony look
all over her features. It seemed to be
picking them up, one, by yyone, and exam
ming them with care. The thing became
unendurable, and she cried out to him
