"a been down there" finished the en-.
gineer, with an expressive wave of his
sooty hand toward the creek, and n nod
to the crowd of passengers.
Johnny did not hear the words Of cx-
planaton and praise which followed,
for when the conductor tried TO help
him to his feet, he tainted away again.
LET me see--I am doctor. He
has had rough tumble, and am afraid
he has broken some bones" said q
passenger, stepping forth from the
crowd.
The doctor was right; for Johnny s
ankle was badly sprained, and one arm
had been broken by striking against a
stump as he fell.
But Johnny knew nothing more of
what went on around him, until he
opened his eyes again in his own room,
in his own bed. The first thing he saw
was his mothers face bending over him,
and the first thing he heard was old DR..
Clark's voice saying; "He'n do now. "
81 know we oughtn't to have gone
without asking leave,h said Johnny, at
the end of confidential talk with his
mother, few days later, when he was
beginning to feel better "rll never

Johnny, hoping to reconcile his mother
| TO the ruinous wear and tear his clothes
suffered from athletic performances.
| 1t was weeks before Johnny was able
to be out again; for the ankle got well
slowly, and for a time he had to use a
crutch. even after his arm was well
enough for him to leave off the sling.
The members of the Club were faith
full in their visits, and came every day
to see him. as soon as he was able to
have company, They brought him all
the school news, and did everything
they could think of to make the time
pass more quickly.
One day, about two weeks after their
3ventful ride, box came by express,
marked "John r. Ellis" When it was
opened, there appeared great roll OF
pink cotton, and nestled snugly in this
was a solid silver cup, quantity shaped
and daintily engraved; but what gave il
its greatest value was the inscription on
the plain oval front:
"A testimonial to John r. Ellis, from
the passengers who owe their lives tc
his bravery. ."-jSt Nicholas.

How the Irish Assasslns Probably Es-
caped.

am not greatly surprised at the Dub
lin murderers not having been discover
ed. The original fault was unquestion-
ably i'm the police allowing Lord Fred
erick and Mr.. Burke to walk through
the park without any precautions being
taken for their safety This mistake
being made, and the idea of driving up
10 them in fast car having occurred
to the murdcreTs, the rest was easy.
Let us suppose that the murder was
planned by six men. Their first object
would be to find u car and car driver.
This driver they would have to take
into their secret. Two men would be
set To watch the victims, and the four
would mount the car The murder be-
ing effected, the car would be driven
back by circuitous route into town.
The mon would get out of il, go sever
ally to their lodgings, and burn any
portions of their clothes which might be
stained with blood. Then they would
either remain in Dublin, and do pre-
cisely what they would have done had
they not committed the crime, or they
would slip out of the country one by
one on some of the numerous vessels
bound for America IL is evident,
therefore, that with ordinary prudence
they might render il impossible for the
police To obtain any clue either TO
their identity or TO their whereabouts.
Murderers are almost always found
out owing TO some fault in their plan
ming, or To some accidental circum-
stance in their preparation. Either n
weapon is dropped, or chance word IL
heard; or blood is seen by some one on
the clothes of one of the perpetrators,
or the previous relation of the murderer
with his victim becomes clew. To fol-
low up thread is easy but where, rs
in this case, the murderers have been
evidently most cautious, there Is no
thread to follow up. London Truth.

Awful DiscOuraging.

There are some people who eat
money. They never sit down to enjoy
n meal of victuals in rational, sensible
sort of way, that encourages digestion
and promotes the health. Not mt all.
The Closelsts belong to this class of
people.
"lIow much did this steak costp"
says the head of the family.
"Twenty-eight cents pound. Dear
me. 1t does taste awful strong Of
money!
"And the butterp'
"Now, don't see how we can afford
to eat butter much longer. It's forty
cents a pound for poor quality. What
poor folks like us are coming to l
don't know. We can't get n new
Brussels carpet for our parlor this
year and--and-well it's awful dis
couraging."
al wonder how much spring lamb ia
now. Twas sixty cents the other day
Goodness gracious! Well, we
could live on dandelion greens only
our Johnny wants ten cents for picking
them.n
And so it goes. each meal of the day.
Amid the comforts and luxuries of
modern civilization these people eat
money. In these days of silver dollars
and subsidiary coin we should think it
would set hard on their stomachs.
We hope il does, -NeW Haven Register.

Near the Crater Of Yesuyius.


Arriving at the edge of the 1872 era
ter from the west, one crosses the cra
ter plain and arrives at a low, sem-cir-
cular ridge, with an average height of
about twenty feet. Ascending this rim
like heap of scoria, one observes occu.
pying its irregular bottom fuma-roles
and yellow patches of decomposing lava.
The complete crater of July is formed
of this ridge, together with the southern
portion of the former cone of eruption.
Within this space rose another cone of
eruption, whose center was occupied by
the main vent. On this occasion it was
possible to approach within a few yards
OF the great mouth, from which issued
the column of vapor and momentary
putfs of fluid lava fragments. Thus il
will be seen that there are at present
three cones and craters, one within the
other. This, however, was not the most
interesting point. In the lava of the
great plain we discovered large cone
or lava tunnel about eight feet high,
twenty or thirty feet long and fifteen
feet broad, but with n general slope
downward. The roof was composed OF
lava about eight months old, but much
one glistening forest of stalactites; some
three hundred about were counted; also
stalagmites. Most of these were from
two to three feet long, and a few twice
that length many, however, with a
uniform diameter of less than an inch
throughout, and tubular, divided by sep.
ia, reminding one of an Orthoceras in
structure. The colors most various and
beautiful; bird s-egg blue, aqua-marine,
salmon, white, yellow and reddish
brown, and many variegated in these
colors. The effect was, the eyes quit
ting the rugged and fierce scenes around
seemed to rest on some fairy cave. On
attempting to approach the entrance the
gust of hot air redOlent with hydrochlo-
ric acid vapor almost prevented one
from making an attempt at an entrance.
However, these beautiful and interest
ing prizes determined me to make an
endeavor. Nose and mouth muiiled,
and having placed my friends on each
side of the entrance with a strap, |
made dive down some steps. The eff
fort was at first almost sufiocation,
singing of the conjunctivs, and a pro-
fuse perspiration. To grab a few OF
these stalactites near at hand and re-
turn with them was the work of min
ute, then the hearty pull up by my
friends, fit of coughing. and little
fresh air restored me. This was re-
peated eight times, during which / was
able to obtain all the best specimens,
some thirty examples, aod reach the
extremity of the cavity. These prizes
were carried carefully to Naples, where
they have been placed under glass in
dry atmosphere, since they were highly
deliquesccnt. A qualitstive ANALYSIS

Prove Your Sweets.

j. M. Chapman, of Chicago, says the
following is a sure test OF the pres
ence of sulphuric acid in sugar and mo-
lasses:
Buy at any drug store five cents worth
OF muriate baryta, and dissolve it in say
an ounce bottle of water. Dissolve in
another bottle of water the sugar SAM
pie, and when it is settled and clear
pour into it a half teaspoonful of the
baryta. If it becomes milky and cloudy,
it is safe to say the sugar contains sui
phuric acid. If it remains clear il has
none. Keep your baryta bottle and try
every lot OF sirup, molasses and honey
in the same way. Sulphuric acid (oil OF
vitrioD, like arsenic, IS often good as a
medicine, but when taken daily for years
as food, in ever so diluted a form, who
will have the presumption to say that it
is not most dangerous and destructive

Home is not home; mothers not there,
Dark is her room; empty her chair;
Angels have taken her out from our care
Lifted her over life's STAIR
Even the sunlight misses her face;
Mute things her sayings and doings retrace;

Dear willing hands they've well done their

Long years ago, they were fair.
Once thick and glossy the scant locks of snow;
Sparkngly bright the eyes faded glow;
Sprightly the step, that grew slow and more

Yet with the sandals of faith brightly shod-

HOW JOHNNY SAVED THE RAIL.
ROAD TRAIN.

The members of the Whirligig Club
are off on a midnight excursion with
their bicycles, the boys having stolen
away from their homes without the
knowledge of their parents. After
ride of about nine miles by the light of
a full moon, they have come to halt
near a railroad just where the track
crosses over a small creek.
The Club was at length beginning to
feel the effects of the unusually long
ride; and, as the party came to the rail-
way, Ben said:
"Lets rest here until the expresses
pass"
agreed" said Bob. "What time
is it, Joe?"
"After one-ten minutes after. 1t
must be time for the train now," he
answered looking down the track.
The up-eXpress was due at fifteen
minutes after one, and the down ex-
press at almost the same hour, but they
seldom were on time. In few
minutes the trains would surely pass
the spot where the BOYS now were, and
they thought the sight worth waiting
for, because the trains were through eX-
presses, and always dashed along as if
speed was the only thing cared for.
The boys agreed to wait Two of
them stretched themselves on the
ground by the side of the wagOn-rOad,
and the others sat around on logs, glad
to take breathing spell, as Joe called
it.
II say said Davie, suddenly, 'the
railway would be splendid place for
fNoa oh N
$50 it would" said Bob. ''The
places between the ties have been filled
and packed, and so many people use it
rs foot-path, that it's as smooth and
solid as floor"
just then the up-express came
whistling and roaring along the track,
and dashed past them at tremendous
speed, raising clouds OF dust twigs, and
dry grass. The boys held their breath
as the monster swept by them, without
slackening speed even to cross the long
bridge over the creek and the treste-
work beyond
And then followed a strange crashing
sound, as of earth and rocks rolling
down hill; but soon all was still again.
"Where are You going nowP' asked
Ben, as Johnny and Ned suddenly
jumped up, moved by the same impulse.
ITO see how the track will do for
our "bikes,' answered Johnny, as they
trundled their machines toward the rail-
way.
Bob had his mouth wide open to sug-
gest that all the Club should follow,
when startled call from Johnny,
echoed by one from Ned, caused them
to rush down to where the two boys
were.
Their faces turned as pale as were
Johnny's and Ned S, when, in answer to
their What the matter?n Ned pointed
TO dark heap across the track close to
the bridge. A moments glance showed
them that one of the great rocks from
the hill, no doubt shaken loose by the
train which had just Numbered past,
had rolled down upon the track, carry
ing with it mass of dirt and gravel.
The rock was SO large that the boys
could not move it, although they at once
tried their best.
+"lts of no use" said Joe, as they
gaNeup, panting.
"We must do something; it's time the

Demagoguery Triumphant.

EpIroR Press Manhood suffrage il the rule in
all highly civilized communities; and no enlight-
ened man would advocate its Limitation because it
sometimes seems to produce lamentable results.
But occasionally the outcome of universal suffrage
almost overthrows ones sense of the eIpediency

u.s. in the result of the election in Honolulu last
Wednesday. 1t seems as though no degree OF
