am amazed, and know not what to think.
SHAKESPEARE.
No crueler word could have been inflicted
on Rachel's proud and sensitive heart, than
the discovery that she had thus passed alto
gether out of her husbands memory. She
could not realize that insanity obliterates the
knowledge and recollection Of even beloved
object; and she attributed this failure to re.
cognize her to the fact of his having entirely
ceased to care for her, alone.
Not even to her kind physician did she
breathe hint of the keen pain and morti6-
cation that she felt but when she found her
self again in her chamber, she cast herself
down and wept, perhaps, the bitterest tears
that she had ever shed. She realized fully,
for the first time, the completeness of the
wreck of her earthly hopes. The Murrell
Vivian she remembered, whose every feature,
whose voice, whose air, was as clearly imprint
ed on her memory as though she had but yes
terday left his side, was no longer in exist
ence. In his changed aspect, she seemed to
lose his very identity. 1t was as though her
husband was dead and buried, and this wan,
sad-faced ghost of his former self risen up in
his place. The profoundest pity for his in
trinity wrung her heart; but the link be.
tween his being and hers no longer throbbed
with electric life, responsive to his glance and
tone; its pulses lay cold and dead.
One thing, however, she felt to be clearly

about week after the interview recorded
above-during which time nothing special in
her intercourse with her husband had trans
pired-she met him suddenly and unexpect-
edly, coming toward her with paper in his
hand. She had never yet encountered him
alone, and her first emotion was one of terror ;
but rejecting that nothing was less likely than
that he would desire or attempt to hurt her,
she controlled the involuntary weakness, and
walked forward with calm air, acknowledg.
ing his salutation as he approached. Her
heart beat painfully fast, however, as instead
of passing by he stopped, turned back and
joined her.
"You are pale, young lady," he said, bend
ing on her look of of.grester interest than she
had ever seen in his glance. "I hope you are
not feeling i'll p
"Oh no, thank you, am not ILL.," she re.
joined, trembling, but forcing smile as she
spoke, and hoping intensely that DR.. Snow
would appear quickly. But no DR.. Snow

"You have been very kind to me" he went
on, with the same earnest gaze, "and would
like to give you some proof Of my gratitude.
Tell me, I beg you, in what way l can best
show my appreciation Of your goodness"
"There is one way" replied Rachel, quick
ly, resolving to profit by the opportunity.
"You will crafty me very much if you will
give me, more of your company out Of doors.
I do not like to see you spend 80 much ofyour
time shut up in your own ROOM"
"That is what my friend, DR.. Snow, always
says" he replied. "Ah! I fear you are a
confederate of his-you are leagued togeth-
er to persuade me to break through my long
settled habits. My dear young lady, it is i'm
possible. Did you know what boon solitude
is to me, you would not try to draw me out
of it. am most unfortunate man-most
unhappy-and it is actual suffering to me to

shown regard for me which has touched me
deeply, would bestow-but hold" he cried
with an abrupt change of manner which star

Instead of permitting her to draw it of, as
she was about to do, he seized her hand in
his and bent down to examine it. As he
did so, Rachels eyes naturally sought his
hand, as it clasped hers-they dilated with
amazement, with new strange doubt-a
look of terror crept into her face.
Murrell Vivian's hands had been long,
shapely, and delicate, and peculiar scar,
which she remembered perfectly, had marked
the right, the one which she now gazed upon.
This hand ,oas not her husbands; its whole
form and appearance were entirely different.
Like flash of light the conviction rushed
upon her that she had been deceived. The
revulsion of feeling was too startling for her to
bear, and with faint cry for DR.. Snow, she
sank unconscious to the floor.

CANCELING POSTAGE STAMPS.

Every now and then paragraph goes the
rounds to the effect that some eccentric indi-
vidual will give so many hundred dollars for
a million cancelled postage stamps. Several
persons have succeeded in collecting the mil
lion, and in some instances $500 or $500 were
paid for their collection. Those who limo.
Gently aid in making these collections little
think that in most cases they are helping to
defraud the government. Advanced as sci
enti6c knowledge is at the present day, there
has as yet been discovered no preparation for
canceling postage stamps that will not wash
off. 1t is estimated that the government loses
$1,000,000 every year by the use of washed
stamps in the postofice alone. The loss
through washed revenue stamps is also great
A million Cancelled three-cent stamps, when
washed, are worth $4,000 This being the
case, it is easily seen that The man who invents
an uncancelable ink will make his fortune
Hundreds of inks and devices have been tried,
but it is curious to note that the most complete
canceling apparatus yet known is the remote
country postmaster with his pen and ink.
Some time ago man travelled fromSt. Louis
to Washington with bottle of his ink, being
unwilling to risk his secret by allowing the
stuff to go out of bis hands and perhaps be an
alyzed. He reached the department, and

ed it clean with soapy water. His ingenuity
in trying different "antidotes" for his ink had
not led him to the use of the simplest means
procurable. Hundreds of chemical combina-
tions have been tried by the different inven.
tors. Acids of all kinds have been combined
with the inks in common use, and for all OF
them some other combination has been found
that will remove all traces and leave the
stamp clean as it was. Inks have been offer
ed which eat away the paper it is put on, 80
strong are the acids, but while there is no
doubt of their efficiency the objections to their
use are obvious. The chemist of the Patent
Office for long time found chemical means
of washing out everybody else's ink, and then
presented an invention of his own which he
could not wash out. 1t was given to Smith
sonian Institution chemist and he shortly
found out how to wash it. clean. After this
the department ceased to expect that an in-
delible ink would be found. Detroit Free

girl riding was highly profitable, kept it up

4 MOHAMMEDAN FUNERAL.

A correspondent of the Springfield Reptb-
lican writes from Tunis as follows: Yes
terday I saw Mohammedan funeral pass
ing through the streets. My attention was,
first attracted to it by hearing murmur
of many voices approaching from the dis.
tance. The sound was unlike anything !
ever heard before. Soon there appeared two
or three hundred Arab men, crowding through
the narrow streets, all joining in singing, or
chanting, song for the dead. In the midst
of them, several Arabs bore upon their shout
ders bier, like crib. The bottom OF it
was covered over with q Turkish or Tunisian
rug, on which was stretched the body Of the
dead Arab, enveloped in what appeared to be
Persian shawl. I would have. followed af-
ter the procession, but was told that none but
Mohammedan was allowed to witness the
burial ceremony. Old residents Of Tunis tell
me that the final acts of depositing the body
in mother earth is most strange and novel
procedure. The Arabs have superstition
that as soon as the new.made grave is ready
for its occupant, the evil spirits at once take
possession Of it. To drive them out they re.
sort to all manner of strange devices. The
most eficacious, and the one usually resorted
to, is based upon the belief of satan's fond.
ness for gold, and that "m6ney is the root Of
all evil" AS soon as the body is placed by
the side Of the grave, the medicine man or
saint exercises Satan, and signifies BY signs
that his Satanic majesty with all his imps are
in the grave below. The nearest relative Of
the deceased, who is prepared for the emer.
genoy, takes from his-pocket handful Of
small gold, silver or copper coins, according
to his wealth, which be throws in the dis
tance as far as possible, as if he was sowing
grain. The evil spirits are believed to scram.
Bic after it, and while picking it up the body
is hustled into the ground as quickly as pos.
sible, and the stones and earth are placed
over it, before the cloven-footed money-hunt'
ers can return.

The license men talked strongly of
contesting the late village election on
several grounds, the principal of which
was, that the, no-license party took pos

present prospect Is that there will be no
such move made. It could, in no event

We find IN the report Of State Superin-
tendent Burt for the year ending August
31st, 1873, the average monthly salaries
paid to oil teachers, except principals, in
the prominent towns of the state, to be as
follows: Minneapolis, $55.92; st. Paul,
$46.50; Wipona, $3.50; Red Wing, $50;
Faribault, $3s12; Rochester, $45; Man.
kato, $44.11; Saltwater, 1884; Hastings,
$44.44; Mortified, $500; st. Peter,
$4450; Austin, $4O.55. 1t would seem
that Austin is not so far behind in the
matter of salaries-both Faribault and
Mortified being below US. With but
one exception in the towns named, Austin
had the lowest average attendance per
teacher, being $500. Austin also had
tho heaviest tax levy-14 mills, the
next highest being St. Peter, 1907. The
tax levy, for 1878 in Austin, however, will
fall below 10 mills. Taking into consid.
Grafton the high taxes in Austin, she has
paid her teachers literally when com.
pared with other towns more favorably
situated financially.
