A Remarkable Escape.

One day recently, as Frank Carr of
West Hopkinton was engaged in saw
ing lumber in his mill at that place, he
had occasion to lift trap in the floor,
just over the flume which the water
flowed into, and through spout six feet
long on to an iron wheel, revolving hori-
zontally, and which furnished power to
move the machinery. The water was
about six feet deep in the ilume, and the
wheel was encased in a close, circular
box, within which it revolved with great
velocity. Mr.. Carr's attention being
called away, he neglected to close the
trap. His two little girls, the one six
and the other three years old, were play
ing in another part of the mill, but soon
tripped along to the near neighborhOOd
of the open trap, which they did not see,
and the youngest accidentally fell into
the flume and was carried through the
spout into the revolving wheel. At the
instant the little girl disappeared her
sister exclaimed, "Papa, sissy is killedin
Mr.. Carr looked and took in the situa-
ton at the first glance. He sprang and
closed the gate which shut the upper
water from the flume, then rushed be-
low and, rs soon as he could, removed
the covering to the wheel-box. II took
hut Il few moments tn do that, but in the
meantime the wheel had revolved one or
two hundred times, and all the water
had passed out of the flume. Strange as
it may seem, he found the missing girl
closely packed in the wheel-box, and
nninjured, without scratch or bruise
1t could not have been less than 10 min
utes that the little girl was in the flume,
spout and wheel, and her escape from
death seemed almost miraculous.-C Con-
cord Cor. Boston Journal

Making AdObes.

At Springer, new station on the
Cimarron River, | saw by the side of the
stream Mexicans making adobes, the
sun-dried brick which constitutes al
most entirely the building material of
the Mexican region. Six men were ut
work. Five of them dug the hard clay
from the bank with picks, puddled it to
mud in the creek and mixed it with
straw and carried it on bearers to the
level spot, where the sixth man worked.
He had Il mold, n bottomlesss box four
teen inches long and eight inches square
at the ends He laid this ON the ground,
filed it with the material brought him.
using his hands as scoop, and leveled
it even with the top of the mold; then
he lifted the mold, leaving the block of
clay to be baked hard i'll the sun. The
Mexican finds his brickyard everywhere
there is water to mix with the soil He
has not far to go-to find long grass, if
straw is not accessible. Poles cut in the
creek bottoms on the mountain sides
make the rafters to lay side by side, and
on them put roof of adobe mud
Should he want IA betterwindow than an
open lattice, he finds in the foothills
sheets of mica for his panes. He builds
his house 10y instinct as deftly as the
beaver, and the architecture, like his
pedigree, is n mixture of Spanish-Moor-
ish and Indian Pueblo.-LdS Fcgds (N.

The national teaching of drawing
in Paris has now been definitely agreed
upon. The city proposes to open lee
lures on art, and there are to be 152
schools for boys, SO for girls, A classes

"A correspondent of the St. Paul
PiOneer-P Press has been visiting the Ro-
man Catholic colonies of Minnesota, and
he reports them in Il flourishing condi-
ton. There are 405 colonies in the
State, the oldest being Rochester, which
was established dozen years ago.
Mr.. w. f. Forster complains that
the English schools above elementary
schools, especially for girls, are in sad
condition, and adds that America has in
many respects an advantage over Eng
land in point of education, and par
ticularly with regard to girls schools.
The faculty of the State University
of Michigan has resolved that drinking,
gaming and frequenting houses of ill
fame do not constitute portions of a
University course, and have notified sew
eral scholars who last year devoted
much time to those branches that they
need not return to their alma mater.
Mrs. Thomas, of Philadelphia, a
lady more than so years old, has built a
neat stone church in Kane, Pa, at cost
of 800, 200, and presented it to the Pres

Herald, spends part of her large in
come in building a church somewhere in
the country.

What the Wicked Khediye Did.

He issued decree, strictly carried
out by the Governors of the various
Provinces, forbidding the sale of corn of
any kind except to the Government.
The Government ostensibly bought up
all the harvest, and gave the unfor
tunate grower bOns of 80 piasters for
the drdeb (the market price being 80 to

robbed the population of about 100000
artle6s of corn, which they disposed of
for about an equal number of pounds
sterling, the Government were enabled
to satisfy the claims of the bankers, who
had already laid hands on four vice-l'e-
gal steamers-notably the luxurious
yacht Marusa, in which Ismail depart
Ell for Naples. The transaction is all the
more reprehensible when it is remem-
bered that the Khedive has large sums

of tinfoil is placed very smoothly on II
table or stone, and the foil is then flood
ed with mercury The glass is laid up
on it in such Il way As to eXpel air bub-

-Liechtenstein is, according to the

overlooked, possibly because Liechten-

H. In the war of 1866, like many other
petty German States, Leichtenstein sided
with Austria. At the end of the war,
Liechtenstein alone was neither annexed
nor compelled to sign treaty of peace,
So that Prince John III. is nominally the
enemy of the Prussian King, but he visits
Berlin peaceably.
The protective tariff that it is pro-
posed to levy on American lard and ba-
con imported into Germany is causing
much protestation there. These articles
of consumption have been sold there at
considerably lower prices than the do
mestic articles, greatly to the rejoicing
of the poorer classes, of whom many
find it hard to live at all. Even the
farmers are said to sell their pigs alive,
and to buy the imported product. The
proposed duty will thus fall directly upon
the poorer classes, and since lard and
pork form considerable part of their
diet, will be more oppressive than a sim
liar duty upon almost any other article
of food.
