Remarkable Vitality.

Col Jones, of Louisiana, was lynched
for the murder of Gen. Lydell. He
fought duel before the war and re-
celved an ounce rifle ball through his
heart. He not only recovered, but was
never afterward troubled with disease
OF that organ, from which he had pre-
viously suffered. At the time of his
killing he was shot lao less than dozen
times with heavy charges Of buckshot
before he expired. A private soldier in
Powers regiment Of Confederate cav
airy, while charging at Olive Branch
was thrust through the bowels with
bayonet, and literally "pitchforked"
from the horse, but he disengaged him
self, staggered to his feet and split his
assailant's skull in twain with a sabre.
Within four months he was again in
active service. II. B. Edwards and T..
Daigrcc, of the Second Louisiana Cav
airy, were both shot through tho bow
els at the battle of RafOurche CROSSING
and were pronounced by the surgeons
as fatally wounded, the bullets not
glancing rs in some other cases, but,
cutting through the intcstines. Both
men recovered and did duty afterwards
in two or three campaigns. Au-
gustc Morey, Il scout for the Trans
Mississippi army, was shot between the
eyes, the bullet lodging In the back of
his head, where it is yet. After his
fall an Ohio infantryman rushed up
and transtlXcd him through the breast
with his bayonct. Loroy was found
alive on the field and sent by his cap
tors to Il prison hospital, from whence
he was exchanged In time to have sew
eral brushes with his foos before the fl
nal "hrcak up" | saw him in 1868,
and ho told me that he had never suf-
ftrod any Inconvenience from the lead
en pellet that he was carrying In his
Uranium. In 1896 made the acquaint-
ancc Of Il retired old lieutenant colonel
OF the French army, and he showed me
ghastly wound lie had received from
an artillcryman's cutlass at the storm
Ing Of the MIAlakof. The cut had been
down through his left shoulder, sever
Ing his collar bone and nearly looping
off that arm. That side Of the old gen
teman's body was about All inch lower
than the other, but he was not othor-
wise bothered by the Crimean reminis-
cenCe. .'.... .'.Ef..i

Robins ia Church.

One pleasant April Sunday the par
ish clerk of a church In wiltshire, Eng
land, stood at his reading desk turning
to tho morning "lesson" In the prayer
book. The congregation waited to give
the responses, but he did not begin as
soon as usual. Something curious had
caught his eye, partly hidden under
the Bible rack, slanting ledge, slight
ly raised above the main desk. He
looked more closely and there, directly
beneath the Bible, he saw a robin red
breasts nest, with two pretty blue
eggs In it. Mrs. Redbreast and her
mate had found hole left by u small
missing pane In one of the quaint old
leadcn windows and entered the sacred
the sparrow and the swallow did that
are mentioned in the 8ith Psalm. The
clerk could not resent so pretty an in
trusion, and did not disturb the nest {;
and when one Of the birds flew in be-
fore the close of service nothing was
done to frightcn it. And there the
nest remained through the rest of April
anu nearly the whole OF May, the rcd
breasts becoming SO tame that the gath
erlng Of the worshippers and tho
voices and music Of the service OIL Sum
days or other days did not alarm them
away. The sitting bird would stay,
quietly brooding her eggs, while the
clerk was reading almost directly over
her head. After the young were
hatched the male robin would fly in
with worms In his bill to feed them,
and his coming never disturbed the
litany or the rectOr's sermon. This
pleasant sanctuary partnership lasted
till the full iledged young were able to
leave the church and trust to their own
new wings. The people felt that the
birds had brought blessing with them
and were sorry when they went away :.

Gould We live IN tho Polar Regions?

IL we carefully examine, the almost
universal features Of all the land
known to us, we find prevailing form
wherever we turn. Each territorial
area of magnitude seems to have append
age trending southwark. If we apply
this rule, by turning the North Pole of
a globe toward us, we readily see at a
glance that Greenland, which Is known
to us, may bear to an unknown Arctic
Continent the same relation that South
America does to North America, or
Africa to Europe. Hence it is perfect
ly logical to infer, by the great analogy
of nature. Lhat an Arctic Continent eX-
lists beneath the North Pole, extending
three and half to four degrees south
from the northern axis Of the earth. AS
previous Arctic expeditions have ad-
vanced TO So degrees, 26 minutes, north
latitudc-or within 1914 miles OF the
Pole, the distance thence to such COLI
tincnt would not exceed l50 to 18O
miles. This intervening space, how
ever, Is difficult to traverse, as it pre-
scnts very rough surface. If the sea
during the height of gale, when the
waves run mountain high, were in
stantly frozen, it would present much
the appearance here encountered. For
ethnologists, the question is: Can an
Arctic Continent be inhabited, should
one exist? This may be met by the
well known fact that the latitude of rs
degrees is about the point of lowest
mean temperature. The earth is about
thirty-scven miles more in diameter at
the equator than from pole to pole,
having enlarged at one point and flat
tened at another, because Of its revolv-
ing motion. Now it Is we'll known
that lower temperatures are encount-
cred as we ascend high attitudes, and
the depression at the poles may, by les
sening the distance of the surface from
the earth's center, afford warmer
temperature, which will enable the
hardy Esquimaux. Amos, or some Hy-
perborean race, to exist upon an Arctic
Continent.

l.ellCC.

WHEN the summer season and the
heated term arrive the thought natu-
rally arises, what are the best things to
cat and drink without promoting over
heating and Indigestion? Heretofore
it has been customary to prepare 'sodas'
mixed with syrups artiticially mado
from chemicals, which, while giving
the flavors of fruits, impregnated the
system with deleterious compounds.
But lately the pure Juice of the fruit,
boing amalgamatod with pure white
wholesome compounds. 1t is necessary
TO fermcnt the juice In order to keep It,
and when 80 fcrmented 1t is bottled and
put away for the next season. When
the time cones.to prepare the syrups for
market, the white sugar is boiled by
steam, after which the juice of the fruit
is added. There are many varieties Of
fruit syrups that can thus be utilized
for making summer drinks, and if con-
sumcrs are positive in their demand for
pure fruit syrup, and take no other
they will not only prove agreeable but
also he llthy and cooling. Tiiase varie-
ties comprise strawberry, raspberry,
pineapple, blackberry, grape, vanilla,
lemon, orange, orgeat, ginger, sarsa-
parilla and compound of all under the
name of sherbot. By mixing these
syrQps with even cold water, pure,
cooling drink can be secured at small
expense and without leaving homo, as
the manner Of packing the syrups Is
such that every family can have an as
sortment OH their pantry shelves with,
out occupying much room or entalling}
any very heavy expense. The trade liz
pure syrups has lately become an ex-
tensive one, exceeding that transacted
in former years In the chemical COM
pounds, which are being rapidly driven
from the market by the pure fruit
juices. 1t Is estimated that the annual
sale, although comparatively in Its in
fancy, is from 25 ,Oc0 to $4,000 cases of
one dozen bottles each, containing
either pint or quart, according to
the desire Of tho purchasers. Largo
quantities are also sent abroad in bar
r,is, but the greater part finds market
In the bottle form; the attractive
labels, which are very expenslvely got
ten up, being tho trademark securing
the business.

LUCK and Labor.

Many people complain Of their bad
luck when they ought to blame their
own want of wisdom and action. Cob
den, a distinguished writer in Eng
land thus wrote about luck and labor
Luck is always waiting for something
to turn up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong
will, turns up something.
Luck lies in bed, and wishes the
postman would bring him news Of a
legacy.
Labor turns at SIX O'Clock, and with
busy pen, or ringing hammer, lays the
foundation Of a competence.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance.
Labor on character.
Luck slips down to indigebce.
Labor strides upward to independ'
enoe.

cate manufactured lace, whence the
common name of the tree. 1t Is said
that Charles III. received as present
from the Governor of Jamaica cravat,
trill, and pair Of rutllcs, made of this
material; and, to this day, it is used
for bonnets, collars, and other aaitcles
Of apparel. Travellers state that the
Creole women take delight in decora-
ting themselves with this fllmy mate
rial for evening wear, studding it with
the brilliant fire beetles, or cucujos, for
which the West Indies are noted.
The effect Is certainly very beautiful.

After Il Mouse.

you see it? There mewhere-any-

Mrs. B. isn't fond OF mice. She would
rather have hundred dollars about
the house than a single mouse; and
the sight OF one makes the hairpins
drop out Of her head.
"Madam," said l,with an awful calm
ness, tell me where that diminutive
rodent mammal is, or forever hold your
peace"
"It Is in the cupboard" she gasped.
"I saw it run under the cupboard
door,"
walked over to the cupboard with
the tread of gladiator, aud opened it.
Before l could get my eyes In range
to look 70: the mouse, it jumped out
and ran right over my foot.
"I gave an awful kick tremond-
Gus heart-rending kick. And my foot
went clear up to the top Of the cup
board, and the back of my head struck
the floor so hard that saw all the plan

And kicked the table.
Then just grabbed myself up, and

"Don't let it get away, you fool Get
something and kill it,"

my hands on. which happened to be a
baseball bat belonging to Lot, and
made one murderous sweep.
But instead Of killing the mouse,
upset the chair OH which my wife was
standing, and the result was that she
turned very graceful sommerset over
against the pantry door.
She screamed for help, and declared
the mouse was eating her up, and re.

Gossiping entertainingly of Trinity
Church, New York, correspondent says
that "the church has lately buried her
chime-ringer, DR.. Dix officiating. There
have been two chime-ringers only since
the chime of bells was placed, and both
of the same family. The death of the
last one was very sad; on Sunday last he
was at his post, as usual. The ringing of
chimes is an art, and Trinity has met
with serious loss, which it will be DIFF
fcult to make good. Very likely the
clerical staff might not think SO, but it
would be easier to replace them all than
to find one skillful ringer of Trinity
chimes, who would always make melodl-
GUS music and never discord. 1t is one
of the curiosities of Trinity that its
clergy are seldom, if ever, found upon
the platform or taking part in clerical
gatherings. You may attend many a
conference and congress and never meet
one of them. A parish so large, with SO
many interests and ramifcations, is full
of work. That work is done by method
and rule To each is assigned his proper
duty and the time for its performance;
and to leave it unperformed or to post
pone it deranges the parochial ma
chinery."
