No sooner had Innocence vanished
than the little gnomes, fenzied with
baffled vengeance, turned again upon
Hattie, and, at the command of their
King, sent a. cloud of darts, poisoned
with malice, hatred, envy, falsehood
and deceit full at her heart with all their
might. But, to their chagrin, not one
dart pierced her, all falling to her feet
harmlessly as feathers. BafHed, enraged
at their defeat, the gnomes showered
another volley of darts upon her, but
they struck her only to rebound upon
her wouId-be slayers with destructive
force. Again and again did they en-
deavor to destroy her, but it was in
vain, and, raving with. bah1ed hatred,
they stood nonplussed and Inundated
before her. 4. rs !
But at length one little fellow, more
shrewd than the others, approached
her, and, with ruthless aim, sent dart
right into her mouth! 1t pierced the
tightly-closed lips, tore through the
pearly teeth, and imbcdded itself deep
into the devoted little tongue.
A wild cry of anguish burst from
Hattie, and the red blood oozed in a
torrent from her lips. Her one vulner-
able point was found, and she must per-
ish In vain she strove to tear the dart
from her tongue; it was barbed and
firmly imbedded. With cry of fierce
exultation the bafaed gnomes crowded
again upon her, and sent a myriad of
darts right into that defenseless point.
They mangled the rosy lips, tore through
the chubby little cheeks, and all fast
ened themselves deep into the poor
quivering tongue. With wild shrek
of agony Hattie tore herself loose, and
as the gnomes shot another volley of
darts upon her She 5
Found herself In her cozy bed, with
the bright moonbeams falling upon her
in a silyery flood, and oh, Joy no trace
OF the cruel gnomes to be seen. But
the next morning very demure little
girl came slowly down stairs, and, going
| up to mamma and throwing her arms
about her neck, amid sobs and binding
tears confessed all-the little ssfb" Of
the yesterday, and her perilous expert
ence in dreamland. Mamma clasped
the penitent little girl to her heart in a
fond embrace, kissing away the big tear
drops as they trickled down the rosy
cheeks. .., ,'-.' ...-. ... ..~'

Interesting Races.

1t is stated that Maj. Biddulph, sta
toned on the Cashmere boundary, has
prepared a report upon the customs,
languages and folklore of the singular
communities among whom he has been
residing for a long time. From Mai.
Biddulph's peculiar advantages and OPP
portunities may be expected, says the
Calcutta Pioneer, a complete account of
people who are a survival of the old
Aryans, from whom all civilized man

seconded. Surgeon Major Bellew, mean
while, has been examining a few men from
the cantons on the southwest of Dardis-
tan, peopled by similar race, who in
one respect are still more interesting,
for their country has never yet been Wis
tied by civilized traveller. But in APP
pearance and language they closely re-
semble the Dards, and, unlike them,
have not embraced the creed of their
Mohammedan neighbors. The tongues
spoken in all these hills are, for the
most part, Aryan: not descended
from Sanskrit, and, indeed, of earlier
origin than that classical language. On

The New York Tribune says :: g 1T is
folly TO keep old sheep. They should
be turned off to the butcher while they
are IN their prime. It does not take half

BANDS of music are Forbidden to play

BANDS OF music are forbidden to play
on most of the large bridges Of the
world. A constant succession of sound
waves, especially such as come from the
playing of good band, will excite the
wires to vibration. At first the yibra-
tions are very slight, but they will in
crease as the sound-wayes continue to
come. The principal reason why bands
are not allowed to play while crossing
certain bridges, the suspension bridge at
Niagara for instance, is thatif followed
by soldiers, or professions Of any kind,
they will keep step with the music, and
this regular step Of q crowd or company
OF soldiers would cause the wires to VI VI
brate. At the suspension bridge mill
tary companies are not allowed to march
across IN regular step, but must break
ranks. The. regular trotting gait Of a
large dog across = suspension is more
dangerous to the bridge than ! heavily

BITS OF INFORMATION.

i HE phrase :" TO row up Salt river" has
its origin in the fact that there is small
stream Of that name in Kentucky, the
passage of which is made difficult and
laborious by the abundance of shadows
and bars. The real application Of the
phrase is to the person Who has the task
OF propelling the boat up the stream,
but in political usage it is to those who
are rowed up. ....... ...,
ARTEMEsIA married her own brother
Mausolus, King of Cara, ST. B. G. At
his death she drank, in liquor, his ashes,
after his body had been burned, and
erected to his memory monument, one
of the wonders of world, termed Mauso-
leum. She invited all the literary men
OF her age, and offered o reward to him
who composed the best verses upon her
husband. The prize was adjudged to
Theopompus.s The statue of Mausolus
is among the antiquities brought from
Halicarnassus in 1857, and placed in the
British Museum.
TIE custom Of browning the poets
originated among the Greeks and was
adopted by the Romans during the en-
pire. It was revived in the twelfth
century by the Emperor of Germany,
who invented the title of poet laureate.
The French had royal poets, but no
laureates. The title existed in Spain,
but little is known Of those who bore it.
The tradition concerning the laureate in
England is that Edward Ill, in 1907,
emulating the browning of Petrarch at
Rome, in 1341, granted the Office to
Chaucer, with q yearly pension. In
1880 the laureate was made "patent"
Office. From that time there has been
regular succession of laureates.
NOMINATING conventions date back to
1881. In September of that year the
Ant-Masons nominated, at Baltimore,
Writ and Ellmaker. In December, also
nominated Clay and Sergeant, and in
March, 1882, the Democratic National
Convention, which also met at Balti-
more, confirmed the denomination of
Jackson already made by his friends in
the New York Legislature, and placed
Van Buren, on the ticket as Vice Presi-
dent. jackson, therefore, was the first
President nominated by such conven-
ton. In 1928 the candidates on both
sides were nominated by common con-
sent or by State Legislatures, the system
Of Congressional cauct1ses having been
abandoned and the national conventions
not yet introduced. In 1924 Crawford's
friends had tried to revive the Congress
sional caucus system, but the caucus
was thinly attended, and the result was
the g scrub-race." There was no oppo-
sition to Monroe in 1920. Before that
time the nominations were made by
Congressional caucus.
