Fixing the Door.

There was crack under the kitchen
door-a crevice large enough for one to
put hand under-and early in Novem-
Der Mrs. Crispo began saying:
''Now, Crispo, don't let this day pass
without mailing down cleat to stop
that crevice. 1t will let in more coal
this winter than two tons of coal can
drive out"
And Crispo began replying:
Certainly, my dear-certainly. That
crevice shall be stopped this very day."
49, On fifteen different occasions in No
vember she reminded him of the fact
that he had forgotten the crevice. In
December the number of occasions was
twenty. During the month of January
she spoke of it twenty-five times. In
February she began referring to the
matter at each meal, and the other day
she nailed him down with the remark:
"Crispo, am going down town, and
I'll stop on my way and ask a carpenter
to come up and fix that door,"
"Ill fix it."
..No you won't! You just let it alone.
I'll have a carpenter here before night,
and that door will be fixed"
81 say I'll fix it myself-right away
-now," and in five minutes he had saw
and hammer and cleat and was at the
job.
Mrs. Crispo went off chuckling over
her victory, and upon her return her hus-
band said:
"Well, the old crevice is shut up"
"You fixed it, eh?''
"Fixed it better than any carpenter
you could have sent up, and in ten min
utes, too. Come and see."
She took one look at his work and then
sat down and whispered:
"Crispo, you just missed it by hair
breadth"
"What?''
'sBeing born fool! You have nailed
the cleat to the floor inside the doorr'
So he had. He had shut the crevice
and the door, too, and when he came to
realize it he walked slowly out into the
back yard and tried to saw his head of
on the clothes line.-Detrott Free Press.

WHOLE NUMBERHS29.
The Earthquake Sensation.

All who have related from actual ex.
perience how an earthquake feels, agree
in describing the sensation as one of
of peculiar sickening fright and despair,
as if the bottom had fallen out of the
world and the whole universe was going
to pieces. In "Travels in Peru and
Mexico" the writer gives Juan Rom
eros story of a recent terre-nsoto in the
equatorial Sierras, from which he and his
cattle were sufferers.
At the first warning rumble in the
ground, himself and his family and his
workmen all quilted their occupations
and ran to the middle of an open field.
s'But before we reached this" he
says, '.the earth trembled violently be-
meath our feet and we were all thrown
to the ground.
F.. We were all, however, soon on our
feet again, and in a position of compare
tive safety where we could watch the ef-
fects of the earthquake upon the animals.
These all stood motionless with their
legs stretched out and their heads bent
down almost to the ground, one or two
of the cattle moaning.
"a second shock was very different.
During the first one we seemed to be
drawn or pushed from side to side; but
now we felt, for minute or more as il
some weight were pressing us to the
ground, and Immediately after this as
light as if we were all ascending into the
air, showing that the shock was in the
first case horizontal, and in the second
in a perpendicular direction"
Of his own feelings, Mr.. Romero said
that he experienced kind of terror hard
to describe. ''My first sensations were
dread that the earth was about to oper
and bury everything within its bosom.
But what felt after this was not like
the fear of death which 1 have expert
enced in other cases. I have faced the
bayonet and stood before the cannon's
mouth, and cannot say altogether with
out fear of human enemies who, one
might suppose, experienced the sam'
unpleasant sensations as oneself. Th'
prospect of death, however, is general,
accompanied by hopes of the future; bu
during an earthquake the reason is sub
dued and my predominant feeling wa
that we were utterly lost. 1t seemed a
if all nature was about to expire; ant
for an hour or two after the shocks ther'
was the same appearance of dread among
the whole party. g.
ssEven the beasts stood for some tim,
in the position which they had takel
during the shocks. and required pattin,
and reassuring before they would move.

LATER NEWS.

THOMAS DoDsoN, an extensive produce
merchant in Montreal, has been arrested
for obtaining advances from the banks on
false pretenses. He was supposed to be
very wealthy. Business is demoralized on
account of the losses the banks have sus-
tanned through his delinquencies.
NEWS from Europe on the 18th was to
the effect that Lord Dunraven will pro-
pose in Parliament legislation on behalf OF
the Irish laborers and large scheme OF
emigration in order to prevent recur-
renee of distress in Ireland. The case and
contents of explosive material used in the
attempt to blow up the Times Office was
similar to that used in Glasgow. Dynam-
lite and other explosives have been found
in the basement of the Imperial Opera
house in Moscow. There is much alarm
in Court circles. Bismark has abandoned
his intention of submitting the May laws
until more conciliatory results are obtained
from the negotiations with the Roman
Curia. Louise Michel is reported to have
fled TO Switzerland. 1t is said that the
Cabinets Of London, st. Petersburg, Berlin
and Paris are parleying with view to take
Joint measures against anarchists.

In Search Of an Alibi.

He was lawyer and came home from
the lodge in the gray dawn of morning
and found the bosom of his family clothed
and in her right mind.
Charlie" said she, on family re-
turning proffered kiss, "you have spent
another night of earousal and dissipa-
tion.'
Why do you say that, my dearP''
Because your breath smells horrid
with whisky"
But, my dear, don't you know you
would be ruled out of court on single
point of circumstantial evidence like
that? You ought to have concatena-
ton of cumulative facts and illative cir
cumstances that would establish your
charge irrefragibly. At lit is, what you
allege is a mere supposition that will not
hold water a minute"
Then the fires of practical logic blazed
out of her black eyes, and seizing dip
per she exclaimed: 'Here is something
that will hold water, I reckon, and as
she plunged the argument into kettle
of boiling water, Charles struck out Wig
orously for the gate in quest of an alibi.

Ned. the Children's Dog.

Everybody in Midway, KY, knows
old "Ned," the children's dog. He
formerly belonged to the late Mrs. Mar
garet Buford, but as there were no
children at her house he came to town
and took up his abode at Mr.. S. N.
Rogers. He goes to school with the
children every morning and remains
there all day. When they go out to
play he goes, too, and is quite expert at
catching ball; indeed, in a game, he
takes the place of child. When the
bell rings he is the first to run into the
school-house, and when the classes are
called up to recite he takes his place in
line at the foot. After the child next
above him has recited, he answers the
next question by an intelligent bark and
bow Of the head. Should a question be
missed by the child at the foot of the class
and passed to the next by the teacher,
'.Ned' will answer it in his peculiar
way. Spelling seems to be his favorite
branch of study, his answers in that be-
ing exceedingly quick and vigorous.
Although he turns the children down,
after his fashion, he never goes above
them. He will fight for any of the pupils.
as well as teachers, and could not be in
duced to stay where there are no child

The researches of modern astrono-
mers have shown that outside the round
globe of the sun, as we see it, there is an
enormous envelope of matter, greatly
exceeding in bulk the visible sun and in
timately connected with it. What the
constitution of this great envelope of the
sun is, how far it extends earthward,
how it is affected by outbursts in the
visible globe of the sun, and what part
it plays in the SUMS influence upon his
family of worlds, are questions to which
science is intently seeking answers.-M.

Pathetic Incident.

Mr.. E. l.. Wakeman, in a letter to
the Louisville Courter-Journat, relates
the following which is strictly true:
ga most pathetic and remarkable incl
dent in connection with the death this
week in Quincy of Samuel ]. Medill,
late managing editor of the Chicago
respondent by his brother-in-law, MIR.
James D. Carson, at present General
Manager of the Union Depot Company
at Kanses City. Mr.. Medill had owned
small, shaggy pet dog of which he
was extremely fond, but the care of
which had been so great burden to
him in his condition of health that he
had given it to friend near Quincy last
fall. The animal had seemed at times
restless, but ordinarily well contented
in his new home. OF late it had ap-
parently been especially well domiciled
and happy. Early in the morning of
the day of Mr.. Medilrs death the dog
suddenly disappeared from its home.
At about six o'clock a. m. the dog ap,
peared at the residence of Mr.. J. B.
Carson, three miles distant, where Mr..
Medill was already dying. 1t howled
piteously about the place until admitted,
and instantly with some unexplainable
and marvellous instinct, dashed up
stairs 10 Mr.. MedilPs room, bounded
upon the bed, and covered its dying
master with its loyal caresses. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Medill. although already
at times almost unconscious, gave re-
cognition to the occurrence, and seemed
to realize its surprising gimpressiveness.

THE BLUE RIDGE HOTEL AT PEN

on one ofths spurs of the South
Mountain, overlooking our valley, a
short distance south of Pen-Mar sta
ton on the Western Maryland rail
road, is being pushed ahead With
great vigor by the contractor, Mr..
Humbird, and the graded road from
it to Pen-Mar, under the direction OF
Mr.. Geo. B. Coryell, assistant engl-
ueer w. NJ. r. r. Co., is rapidly ad-
vaucing towards completion. About
Us hands are now engaged on these
works, and as the weather becomes
more favorable they will be increased
to any number necessary to insure the
completion and occupancy Of the ho'
tel by the LIST Of July next.
So great has been the SUCCESS o'
this enterprise, and such is its popu
larity and promise, that before the
foundation for the main building was
laid, it was determined to add liz
additional feet to its length and now,
instead Of 2l4 feet, it will front 326
feet and have wings at either extrem,
ity. The depth of the structure is
1875 feet, making the Blue Ridge Ho
