And this is how it came about, that

for one of us to answer the SUMMONS.

Katy g anced serenely at her own

pull at her overskirt and a touch to. her
collar and opened the door.
Immediately afterwerd was shocked
by hearing her utter genuine feminine
scream and seeing her drop ON the
floor and that man, perfect stranger
to me, gathered her up in his arms and
began raving over her in manner that
astonished me. He called her "his
darling" and "his own Kate" and ac-

France, Spain, and Mexico, Texas ant
Russia, amounts to 1884, 1851 square
miles, or about 1,S25, 310, 600 acres, anG
its cost was, in round numbers, 1922,
100000, of which sum the Government
has received back about 5000, 900, 00(
for lands sold. Down to July, 1880, the
Government of the United States had

Mineral and timber lands are now oul
most valuable assets. The pasturage
lands are of nominal value apart from
the mineral underlying them. Our re.
naming public lands, exclusive of Alas
ka, were, in June, 1880, estimated as
follows Timber lands, $4,000, OOC
acres; coal lands, defined, $3.50, 900

lands in Indian reservations and bar

sive of Alaska.
Sales of lands were first made in
blocks of townships and of eight Sec
tions, but soon in tracts of $40 and 160
acres, and later of 40, eighty and forty
acres. The presumption act of 184l was
a progressive step giving preference
30 actual settlers, also permitting them
to pay for their lands with cash or war
rants. But the most important of all
our land laws was the Homestead act OF
1862. Down to June 30, 1880, there
were 400, 784 entries made under this
act, embracing 55,867,0 49 acres, and
patents were issued in 162, 237 cases, for
1925, 1897 acres. The operation of the
Homestead { produces no revenue to
the Government. the fees and commits

Stories of Witchoraft.

An old German woman in Cincinnati
has been RECALLING the Enquirer OF that
city with stories OF wilchcraft brought
from the old country. One man who
had several fine horses had unconscious
" incurred the displcasure of the
witches, and his valuable equnes grew
thin and died. A witch, whose reputa-
ton was not of the best, showed her
temper by drying up COW which had
formerly given two buckets OF milk.
The witch, however, after two or three
weeks, permitted the COW to give milk
as usual.
One woman, reputed skillful witch,
cast spell over cat, and the feline
in turn pursued youth, making noe
turnal visits to his room while he was
asleep. The poor young man was near
w choked to death on several nights,
but was not aware Of the nature of his
trouble Telling his brother the latter
one night captured the cat, went to a
blacksmith's in the neighborhood, and,
after a good deal of coaxing, induced
the smith to fire up his forge, and lit
bair of shoes for the cats front fqst.
With this accomplished, the young
man, in a jubilant frame OF mind, went
home.
The next day it was ascertained that
the witch woman was sick in bed. The
youth who had been tormented by the
cat went TO see her, and found to his
surprise and joy that in the palm OF her
hands were the horseshoes. The witch
said, in sad tone of voice, "Yon'Te
caught me this time" She begged
piteously to be released from the
horseshoes, but not until she had
agreed to discontinue her mischievous
practices was her appeal granted.

one, and each of the three horses is at

A Bookmaker's Trick,

A good story was told apropos Of q
noble lord who was recently returning
from the races, In the adjoining COM
partment were eight bookmakers, who,
"cleaned out by successive failures,
were travelling without tickets, hoping
by turn of good luck to escape pay
ment. At last one of them, during Il
stoppage, hit upon brilliant idea.
Pulling his cap down oveinprs eyes and
buttoning his coat, he welt to the car
rage of the noble lord and his friends,
and assuming an official air, collected
their tickets These he distributed
among his own friends. and on the
train reaching London the noble lord
had narrow escape Of seeing himself
and his friends taken into custody for
attempting to defraud the railway COM
pany, for despite their assurances the
officials declined to believe that any
one had been audacious enough to col
lect these passengers tickets. The
thing was too absurd. 1t was only by
paying their fare a second time that
the noble lord and his friends escaped
from the clutches Of the railway SER

The Painlsssnsss of Death.

"Painlcssly we come, whence we know not
PainIessly we go, whittier we know mott"
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain; so
general is this belief, that the terms
"death-agony," "last struggle, :"
"pangs of DEATH" ETC., have been in
almost universal use 10 every age and
under all conditions of society.
Nothing could be more erroneous;
the truth is pain and death seldom go
together-we mean the last moments
of life. OF course, death may be pre-
coded by weeks or even months Of ex-
IRENE suffering, as occurs during GER
tain incurable diseases.
Death itself is physiological process,

New Signals on Our Railroad.

For 4 few days past, NO doubt many of
our citizens have noticed Il great increase in
the number Of whistle signals given by
trains passing up and down on the railroad
creating in consequence of the large num-
Der of trains Il lively time in the neighbour
hood Of the line. The explanation of the
increase of whistling is that on Tuesday
last u change in the signal system used on
the road was inaugurated. On that day
the signal system both by whistle and lam
tern of the Pennsylvania Railroad was
brought into use on This road. Many of the
tofore in use, and care will he necessary
upon the part of the numerous employees.
BY the new code, four blows, two long
and then two short ones, is the signal for i
crossing. Formerly it was simply one long
blow. by this new arrangement the con-
;inued blowing is more apt to warn people
III carriages or wagons approaching the
railroad on the crossings. For station one
long blow, one short blow for down brakes,
and two short ones for loose brakes. To
CAL III Inc >i5hil man. !otr dlst!nc' blows
are giNei.. Three short blows is the 81 :nal
for hacking the train, and two short ones
mean 20 ahead. A succession Of short and
long blows intermixed is the signal when
anything is on the track ahead of the train.
The style Of steam whistle now in Use on
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad engines is to be
introduced in Il short time. The present ar
rangement on the F., w. & f. engines will
not work fast enough for the new code of
signals. The lantern signals are also some
of them the reverse Of those heretofore in
use. For instance, by the Pennsylvania
railroad system, swinging the lantern across
the track is the signal for the approac hing
train to stop, and swinging it up and down
means come ahead. Before, this WAS vice
versa.
