Herbert went up stairs to his room,
whence he Immediately returned with a
bundle of papers. "Herc is a drawing
OF the Chinese organ or cheng. 1t has
usually twenty-four pipes Of bamboo
which are inserted in the gourd of a CAL
abash. In each of those pipes is a reed
or tongue of gold or copper, which by
Its vibration, causes the sound, as in our
cabinet organs; beneath this reed hole
is made in the bamboo, and when his
hole is left open the air rushes out
through it without making any sound;
but when it is closed by placing finger
upon it, the breath is forced up the tube,
compelling the reed to vibrate, and give
out an agreeable sound"
"Do they use pianos!" asked Arthur.
"They have an instrument whose tones
are somewhat like those of a piano or
harp. 1t is called the kin, and consists of
sllken cords, stretched along a sounding
board. There are various sizes of this
instrument, the largest IF which is called
the che; it is sometimes nine feet long,
and has twenty-five strings
''Do they play in church the organ
that you showed us?" asked Maud.
ooh, mol they like the organ to dance
by the best. Their grandest religious
ceremony is usually accompanied by sew
eral instruments: but the most import
ant of these is an expensive instrument
called the King. It is made Of stones
cut in proper shapes and FINELY polished;
these are hung On frame and struck
with wooden mallet. The stones, which
are very valuable and of beautiful colGrs,
are found near the rlver-banks in the
province of Yun-nan. A man practicing
on the king might remind one of the
Swiss bell-nngey Louis C. Elso,a, in
st Nicholas for January.

the corner, and said:

Broken-Nosed Barney seconed the

At precisely half-past one the whistle

am quite convinced that if the strug-
gle had lasted three minutes longer l
must have gwen way. All this time the
poor girl uttered no sound that could give
warning to the guard or our fellow-pas-
sengers of the terrible struggle for life or
death that was going on within a few
yards of them. AS for my own voice, the
extraordinary physical effort l was max
ing to restrain the would-be suicide en-
tirely prevented my making the slightest
use of it. But just as my powers were
failing me, and 1 felt that l could no
longer prolong the struggle, the train be-
gan perceptibly to slacken speed.

What followed is easy to relate. Of
course assistance was at hand, and the
unfortunate young lady was removed to
a place of safety. From letters which
we found on her, and some articles of
jewelry, which we advertised, we speed
ily discovered her friends. Naturally I,
as medical man, would not lose sight
of her until I discovered them, The
patient proved to be member of Ger
man family naturallzed in England, and
always subject TO periodical attacks of
mental alienation. She had never act
ually been in an asylum.
During these attacks, which invariably
came on without any warning, so that 1t
was difficult to watch her, she was seized
with a restless desire to wander
over the country, and, it appeared, had
merely selected the Southwestern line
because it happened to be nearest to her
own home.
She had been so long without an at
tack that her mother and sisters had, on
the previous night, ventured to go to an
evening party, leaving Lolita fast asleep
IN bed at home. During their absence
she eluded the vigilance of the servants,
got up and dressed herself, walked about
for some time, and took ticket for the
early Portsmouth mail-at least, that was
what she imagined, she told US on her
recovery. Her memory. however, was
very imperfect, but the poor child must
certainly have walked about the streets
for some time prior to the departure OF
the express.
1t was natural that, under the circum-
cumstances-I have already stated that ]
had had considerable experience in such
cases-her friends should ask me to en-
deavor to effect cure.

Passed In his Checks.

1t is good to speak well of the dead,
but it cannot hurt Old Charley Ripton' 8
feelings to state that he was one of the
toughest old drunkards in Detroit. He
has been gathered in by death, and he
will hear not or read not. His lite was
as curious as his death. He lived as an
experiment. He wanted to see if he could
kill whiskey before it killed him, and
when he found himself defeated he owned
up like man, and was ready to die.
Think of man being more or less in
toxicated every Gay in the week for forty
two years! That was old Charley's ex-
perience as near as he could remember.
Not man of his acquaintance ever saw
him have as much money as a dollar at
one time. and yet he managed keep
clothes on his back, food under his jack
'et, and to find a bed. When men asked
him what he lived for. he answered ITO
take solid comfort" Perhaps he had it.
No one ever saw him angry; he never
made a complaint; he never wor-
ried, and it wasn't halt the time that he
could tell the day of the week.
Well, after fighting whiskey for about
torty-two long years, Old Charley laid
aside his battle-axe the other day. No
body knew that he was ill-no one had a
suspicion that his time had come He
had been given bed in an old rookery
on Franklin Street, and in the night he
called out that he wanted doctor. One
was sent for, and when he had looked
OldsCharley over, he remarked:
"You are going to dep
"That's what l thought" was the pla-
cid reply; and before daybreak the old
man was corpse.
When the news came out that Old
Charley was no more, lot Of his old
whiskey-loving friends assembled to view
the body, and see that it was buried at
the expense of the city.

around the body, Els to exhibit our
respect for the old man, ana pass

wish to make any remarks, now is his
time"
There was painful silence as the old
soakers looked at the body, and from it
to each other, and finally a short man
with watery eyes began:
''Ah, Old Charley was one of the incest
of gentleman! He hadn't a fault, unless
it Yves keeping too sober. I don't sup

AFTER.

After the shower, the tranquil rain;
After the snow, the emerald leaves,
Silver stars at night again
After the harvest, golden sheaves.
After the clouds the violet sky:
After the tempest the lull of the waves !;
Quiet woods when the winds go by
After the battle, peaceful graves.
After the kneil the wedding bells;
After the bud the radiant rose
Joyful greetings from sad farewells:
After our weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden the blissful mean;
After the flight the Gowny nest;
After the furrow the waking seed;
