A Wonderful Cavern.

About a mile from the market town
of Adelsberg, in Austria, and three
miles from Trieste, is to be seen the
most wonderful cavern in Europe, and
possibly in the world, called the Adels-
berg cave, and which has been explored
for a length of nearly three thousand
yards, us far rs a subterranean lake.
This cavern consists of several grottoes,
from sixty to eighty feet high. The
interior resounds with the noise of
water, as a little river runs completely
through it, forming many cascades on
its way, and being finally lost to view
in fissure. I his river continues its
subterranean course for about eight
miles, and after a time it disappears
into the caverns of Laase, whence it
energies as a navigable river called the
Labach. The entrance to the cave of
Adelsberg is illuminated by hundreds
of candles, and transparent curtain,
composed of large sheets of crystallized
limestone, is seen hanging from the
roof. The vast hall or ballroom is
about $50 yards from the entrance. 1t
is three hundred feet long and one
hundred feet high, and is adorned with
transparent sta'actites of every kind OF
fantastic shape and form. Until the
year 1919, this ballroom was the only
part known; but at this date the wall
of stalagmite was broken through, and
series of chambers exposed to view
possessing cathedral-like appearance,
from the stalactites in many instances
forming vast columns, by meeting the
stalagmites below. In the Adesberg
cavern, numerous specimens are found
of the proteus, kind of lizard that
dwells in the bottom of the cavern
lakes

CHAPTER II,

Knee-deep, apparently, in the golden,
full-eared wheat, Edith and her sisters
sauntered idly along, Eva first, gather
ing the brightest of everything, till
her basket was full to overliowing-
scarlet poppies, Marguerites, grac full
clematis, rich leaves mellowing with
the first early autumn tints, long trail
ing sprays of amb r-veine ivy, and
holding golden grasses all sorts of
waySide and woodland treasures. They
we're returning from lIazeldell farm,
where the children had rested for half
an hour, AMI eaten homemade le bread
and butter, and drank milk with the
yellow wrinkled cream on it, and
helped themselves to the remains of
late amber gooseberries that bordered
the garden path. 1t was always a
treat to go to Hazedell farm, but had
Edith known that there were seven
children i'll in the next farmhouse she
would have chosen some other direc-
ton. She had triel to tn nix DR.. Ash.
by's proposal over calmly, and it GER
tainly seemed a safe and easy way out
of all their difficulties. He was rich
and willing to undertake the children's
education; he would make an addition
20 Mrs. Bertram's income, which would
enable her to live in comfort at some
watering place Though Mrs. Bertram
meant to make the Dingle her home);
everything he proposed was kind and
thoughtful, and she was very grateful,
but in heart she felt she did not love
Seymour Ashby, and, what was more
than that, sic never should love him.
Friendship, esteem. affection perhaps.
she might in time BE- able to give him,
but no second growth Of love would
ever spring up in her heart Edith's
was an intense, patient, faithful ma
ture. giving much and exacting little
in return. She was willing to wait, as
she had promised Jack Clifford, to wait
all her life if need be-Aut there were
the children and her stepmother help
less and dependent on her. Clearly
some one would have to make a sac
rifice. and with equal clearness Edith
saw that it must be herself. So she
resolved to accept DR.. Ashby's pro-
posal, and tried to assure herself that
she was acting for the bGst.
Presently she heard step behind
her on the narrow path, and looking
round she saw the doctor approach
ing; a tall handsome man, dressed in
suit of tweed, with g'engarry cap
pulled down over his eyes as different
from his predecessor, DIR. Bertram, as
man could he, but with a dash and
cleverness me1 of the old school never
possessed.
"I have been trying to overtake you
for ten minutes, Miss Edith" he said,
falling just step behind, for the path
was too narrow for two. 81 have
something of Importance to say to
you"
"Yes. DOCTOR" she replied calmly,
though her heart beat fast and every
trace Of color left her face.
"You know what l would say,

first. because her stepmother had cut
short her education at the most critical
time, and, beside, she could not leave
her little sisters. But her music she
had always kept up, and the village
church happening to be in need of an
organist, the vicar offered her the stu
alton, which she gratefully accepted;
and after a time she secured few
music pupils, and in that way helped
out their narrow income. But the
hardest work of all was teaching and
taking care of Blanche and Eva. They
were pretty, willful, spoiled children,
INDUCED by their mother. and unac'
customed to any sort of control or dis
cipline. During the doctors lifetime
they had nursery governess, and
Edith never imagined till she came to
have sole charge of them how much
poor Miss Lee must have suffered at
their hands.
There was but one bright spot in
the rather wearing, mOnOtonous life,
the daily walk with the children. For
their health's sake and her own she
made a point of taking them out every
fine day for a ramblc through the
woods and shady lanes. Ashmead was
in the center of u beautiful country !;
not railway in sight; no smoke from
furnace or factory stainel the clear,
pure air nothing but rich corn-fields,
fertile valleys, cool shady woods and
messy lanes, with merry little brook
flashing like CLEAN of summer light
ming through the meadows. 1t was a
positive delight to saunter idly along
in the glorious sunshine and gather the
wild flowers that grew so luxuriantly
at their feet, and weave ropes and
chains and wreaths of blossoms. 1t
seemed like new life to get clear of the
house. with its narrow confines and
sordid cares; and of late there hal
come a new element of distress into
poor Enith's existence. For n whole
year DR.. Seymour Ashby. her fathers
successor, hal been a constant visitor
at Byzantine cottage. 1t was amazing
how many excuses he found for calling
at first, and how soon he began to call
without an excuse, and one day he pro-
posed in due form to Mrs. Bertram for
Edith, and she gave him every en-
enlargement to try his fortune for HIM
self.
"Of course you'll accept him,
Edith" she said, eagerly. "It will be
such blessing to us all. DR.. Ashby
is young, rich, clever, handsome. What
more can you possibly want2 And he
really loves you most devotedly."
"But don't love him." Edith re-
piled.
"Then you ought, and Tn sure you
will in time; and beside as said be-
fore, some one of us must make a sac
rifce for the children's sake. Do
think it over before he talks to you,
Edith"
"Yes, IL think it over" was the
somewhat weary reply, as Edith put
on her hat and took up her basket to
Join the children, who were waiting
impatiently outside.
But it was not of DR.. Ashby, but of
Jack Clifford, that she thought, as she
sauntered through the fields-Jack,
who had left her six years before to
make his fortune, and, despite his
promise, had never returned.

A Ritcatcher's Methods.

In an interview with professional
ratcatcher a New York Sun reporter
asked:
"How do you clear a house of rats ?"
off the house has soft cellar floor
I can get the rats out, but | can't keep
them out. If it has hard founda-
tion, hunt out all the holes leading
from the sewers and stop them up
with sand and cement. That prevents
any more from G, tting in and those in
the house from escaping. You see, a
rat is always on the move. He is
never still, but goes from the sewer to
the house and back again very often.
Having made the cellar tight, | find
the runways by whi h the rats 60
from one floor to another. These are
generally along lead pipes in The walls.
A rat will run up lead pipe as easy
as walk along the floor. You can see
the marks of their feet on the runway.
| nail a small square piece of tin over
a part of the RUNWAY and i grease the
outside. Now, a rat can't run up this,
and he slips down when he comes to it.
"If can't get at the runways | find
the holes, and fix this wire door on it.
You see, it is made of four pieces of
short wire laid parallel, held together
by crossbars, and sharpened at the
ends. This is suspended by the top
over rat-hole. Coming from the hole
a rat can easily lift it up and get
through. but he can't 60 back as the
gate falls and the sharp points prevent
him from lifting it. Now ! make a
rat trap of the whole house. | so fix
the gates and tin sides that the rats
will all be led into one room in the
basement. There they are securely
caught, as they cannot possibly get
out. l go among them with a dark
lantern and pick them up with my
tongs. l can catch them as quickly az
a cat would a mouse If they get in
places where | can't reach them |
shoot them with this long target
pistol. | use these little target cart
ridges, and it kills them every time
"When the rats get in ceilings |
smother them out with cayenne pep
per. have fumigator here which
works like an air pump | burn red
pepper in it and pump it into the cell
ing. The rats can't stand that, and
they get out as fast as they can.
That is better than a ferret, as ferrets
are expensive and the rats often kill
them. Ferrets are scary things to
handle If they bite you once you
have to pry their jaws open. When l
want to catch rats for dogs | set
traps. First l remove everything out
of their way, 50 that they will get
very hungry. Then | set the traps.
Then | have another way of catching
them. | wear rubber shoes into a
slaughter-holse at night and carry a
dark lantern. l move softly about
and catch the rats with the tongs
before they Lave chance to get
away. In this way l have caught
l03 rats in two hours and half. If
you ever get bitten by a rat, put the
wound in hot water and makeit bleed.
Then bathe it with arnica or spirits
of turpentine."

Sing, business muse, the dark and doleful
fate
OF him who labors but THAI he may wait;
The piles of goo Is heaped up within his store;
Which can't be less, and never may be more,
The man whose life has lost all fortunes

In fact, the man who never adyertises.
Sing of his start, his great ambition sscope,
The capital that gave him cause to hope,
His credit large, his full and ample stock,
His bank account as solid as a rock;
Then fell the doom to which the man was
fated
Who never advertised, but simply waited.
So simply, and so vainly! Splendid signs,
Which basement art irradiates and retnes;
Plate glass show windows elegantly dressed,
Such lively clerks, cashiers, and all the rest,
Served but to show him how the public sizes
The style of him who never advertises.
He waited, and all waited; clerks, cashiers,
Statesmen. salesTomen-such delightful

Impatient waited all the season through,
With precious little for the crowd to do.

But passed the stort without thought of

Business was dull, but salaries and rent
Went on till cash and credit both were spentl

Until the sheriff closed the whole concern.

STAND LIKE THE ANVIL.

"Stand like the anvil" when the strokes
OF salwart men fall fierce and fast;
Storms but more deeply root the oak,
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
STAND like the anvil" when the sparks
Fly far and wide, a fiery shower;
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice raves its want of power.
fStand like the anvil" when the bar
Lies red and glowing on its breast
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
"Stand like the anvil !" noise and heat
Are born of earth and die with time;
The soul, like God, its source and scat,
Is seldom still, serene, sublime.

Origin Of the Caucus.

The origin of the term "caucus " is
traced back to the Caucus club, BOs-
ton, of Revolutionary days. This club
was composed mainly of persons en-
gagged in ship-building. 1t was one of
the most radical opponents of British
oppression. 1t and the Merchants
club, of the same period, used to meet
before elections and agree on candi.
dates for town and provincial offices.
caucus is believed to be corrup-
tion of caulkers."

An Absurdity.

We read now and then of cases in
which burglars are supposed to have
rendered their victims unconscious by
holding cloths wet with chloroform to
keyholes before entering an apartment.
OF course the absurdity of such a fic-
tion is sufficiently apparent. Whether
sleepers can be ma lie to pass from
natural to chloroform sleep, if the
chloroform is held near the face, is still
a gu stion. Sometimes the experiment
La; succeeded, but in five experiments
recently made to determine the fact,
every one of the sleepers experimental
upon woke at the expiration Of three
minutes, before they had come under
the influence of the drug.

Six thousand baby alligators are sold in
Florida every year. The hunter sells young
"gators" at $25 per hundred, and the deal.
er at from seventy-fve cents to 81 each.
Live allgators two years old represent to
the captor fifty cents each, and to the deal
er from 81 to IS, as the season of travel is
at It's heighth, or far advanced. A ten-foot
alligator is worth SO, and one fourteen
feet long $25 to the hunter, while the deal.
er charges twice or three times that price
The eggs are worth to the hunter fifty cents
per dozen, and to the dealer twenty-five
cents piece.
