Playiag the Traitor.

Men use treachery and despise
the traitor. Their moral sense re-
volts against the means which their
era aying for success persuades them
TO. use. The fact shows that faith in
the moralist's maxim, Nothing is
expedient which is dishonorable," is
not strong enough to remove this
moral contraction. And so the
word, which makes success a duty,
will continue to pay and despise the
traitor.
The late Count de Chambord's
birth occurred after the assassination
of his father, the Duke Ge Berri, in
1920. His mother, a waman Of great
courage and force of characteristic
offered to lead the royal troops
against the rsvolutionists of 1890
plotted to set him on the French
throne, as the only legitimate Bour-
bon.
In 1892 she landed near Marseilles
and appealed to the French legitj-
mists to raise against Philippe. The
appeal fell upon deaf ears, and the
duchess was obliged to hide herself
One of hea suite, named Deutz,
agreed to sell to the government,
for fifty thousand francs, the secret
of her hiding-place. The betrayed
duchess was arrested and impris-
oned.
To M'Didier, the secretary of min
lister of the interior, was assigned the
disagreeable duty of paying the
traitor. At the appointed hour,
Didier called his son into the office,
and said:
"Look well at what passes, and
never forget it. You will learn what
a scoundrel is, and the method of
paying him.
The secretary spoke to a messen-
ger, and Deutz, the traitor, was
brought in. Mr.. Didier stood be-
hind his desk, on which were placed
two packages, each containing
twenty-five thousand francs. AS
Deutz approached the desk, the secre-
a sign to him to stop
Then, with a pair of tongs, be picked
up the packages, and dropped them in
the hands of the traitor, pointing to
the door.

A Monster Engine.

There is now a mammoth locomo-
tive in process Of contraction at the
Central Pacific shops at Sacramento.
The name is FL GObernador. The
total length of the engine and tender
is IS feet and . inches driving
wheel base, 10 feet and : inches !;
five pairs of drivers, 4 feet and .
inches in diameter, with fOur-wheel
truck in front; water capacity of
tender, $500 gallons cylinders, 21
inches in diameter, with a 36-inch
stroke; total weight of engine, %
tons; weight of tender, (light), 90
$50 pounds; total weight of engine
and tender (lighD, % tons and $50
pounds. There are two six-vheel
trucks under the tender, making a
total of twenty-six wheels under the
engine and tender. The valve gear
ing, designed by A. J. Stevens is
something entirely new, there being
nothing like it in the country. 1t
is said to be the largest engine in
the world. 1t is for use on the
Sierra Nevada mountains, and it is
expected will do more work than
two OF the engines now used, with
les. consumption offuel. The heay-
lest engine now in use on the Central
Pacific railroad has hauled nineteen
cars, loaded, up a 116-feot grade.
Its dimensions are: Weight OF ten

Of engins, 123,000 pounds; water
of tendsr, 1900 gallons. 1t
has eight drivers of 4 feet s inches
each; driving wheel base, 16 feet 9
inches; total wheel base, 80 feet u

men have doubts about the success
1f such a monster, and entertain the
dea that the weight OF the engine

With Frozen Hands.

The author of 4" \ Ride to Khivah
gives this account of bis sutferings
during his terrible winter journey
across the plains of Asiatie Russia,
when careles.ly neglecting to pro-
tect his hands in his great mittens,
he fell asleep and woke to find them
frozen. His servant chaied them
with snow, but could not restore the
circulation.
1t is no good, be said, looking
ing sorrowfully at me. We must
get on as fast as possible to the sta
tion. How far off is p he in1uir-
ed of the driver.
" Seven miles" was the an
swer.
Go as fast as you can y l
cried.
The pain, which by that time had
assembled to the G lands under my
arms, had become more acute than
anything had hitherto experience
ed. Apparently extreme cold acts in
two ways on the nervous system
sometimes, and more mercifully, by
bringing on a slumber, from which
the victim never awakes and at
Others by consuming him, as it were
over slow fire, and limb by limb.
In my suffering each mile of the
way to the station seemed 4 league,
and each league a days jour
ney.
At last we arrived. Hurrying to
the waiting room, | met thres Cos
sacks, to whom | showed my hands.
The soldiers led me into an outer
room, and having taken off nay coat
and barred my arms, they plunged
them up to the shoulder in a tub of
ice and water. However, there was
now no sensation whatever, and the
limbs, which were of a blue col
Ur, hoated painlessl Y in the wa
ter.
The elder of the Cossacks shook |
his head, and said
Brother, it is a bad job; you will |
lose your hands.
They Will drop off," remarked |
another, =" if we cannot get back the
circulation"
Haye you any spirit with you?"
added a third.
Nazar, the servant, ran out on
hearing this, and brought in "a tin
bottle, containing naptha, for cook
ing purposes, upon which the Cos
sacks taking my arms out oft the icy
water, proceeded to rub them with
the strong spirit
Rub, rub, rub the skin peeled
under their horny hands, and the
spirit irradiatsd the membrane be
low. At last, a faint sensation like
tickling pervaded the elbow joints,
and | slightly fiinched.
Does it hurt?' asked the elder
Cossack.
A little"
Capital, brothers I" he continued.
g Rub as hard as you can!" and af-
ter going on with the friction until
the flesh was almost fiayed, they
suddenly plunged my arms again
into the ice water. | had not felt
before, but this time the
pain was acute.
"Goodw said the Cossacks. "The
more it hurts, the better chance
you have of saving your hands.
And after a short time they let me
take them out of the tub.
"You are fortunate, little father,
said the eldest Cossack. If it had
not been for the spirit, your hands
would have dropped off, if you had
not lost your arms as well
1t was several weeks before | ,
thoroughly recovered from the effects

SOME OLD SCHOOL-BOOKS.

| have been back TO my home again,
To the place where | was born.
| have heard the wind from the stormy m am
Go rustling through the corn;
| have seen the purple hills once more
| have stood on the rocky coast
Where the waves storm inland 10 the shore
But the thing that touched me most
Was little leather strap that kept
Some school-books, tattered and torn.
| sighed, smiled, l could have wept,
When | came to them one morn
For thought of the merry little lad,
In the morning sweet and cool
If the weather was good or weather bad,
Go whistling off to school.
My fingers undid the strap again,
And tho't how my hands had changed,
And half in loving, half in pain,
Backward my memory ranged.
There was the grammar ] knew so we'll
didn't remember a rule;
And the old blue speller-I used to spell
Better than any in school;
And the wonderful geography
I've read on the green hillside,
When 1 told myselfTd surely see
All the land in the world so wide,
From the Indian homes in the far, far West
To the mystical Cathay.
l have seen them ali. But home is best
When the evening shades fall gray.
And there was the old arithmetic,
All tattered and stained with tears.
l and jamie and little Dick
Were together in by-gone years.
Jamie has gone to the better land
And | get now and again,
A letter in Dicks bold, ready hand
From some great Western plain.
There wasn't a book, and scarce page,
That hadn't some memory
Ofdays that seemed like golden age,
OF friends shall no more see.
And so picked up the books again,
And buckled the straps once more,
And brought them over the tossing main;
Come. children and look them DER.
And there they lay on the little stand,
Not far from the Holy Book;
And the boys and girls with loving care
Ger grammar and speller look.
He said They speak to me, children dear.
OF past without annoy
And the Book of Books in promise clear
OF future full OF JOY"

Sleep.

Sleep is to the brain what rest is
to the muscles. Sleep is craving
more importunate than hunger.
Among some of the ancients, depri-
vation of sleep was used as pun
ishment. This cruelty was inflicted
by the Romans upon Pereus, and
the Carthaginians deprived Rsgulus
of his sye-lids in order to make him
90 far sleepless.
There are three kinds of sleep
First, natural second, pathological
third, artificial.
The length of time that should be
devoted to. natural sleep, it is not
easv to determine. A maxim of
the school of Sslerno, runs
thus
Rise at six, and eat at ten
Eat at six. and bed al ten
Ten times ten years
You may live then
A child spenda more than half its
life in sleep. An adult shouldspe
one-third of his. The aged sleep
but little, though IN extreme OLD
age the habi; Of infancy often re-
turns.
Girls and women require more but
generally get less than men. An
hours sleep before mldnightis worth
more than an hour after midnight. /.
Saint Francis, of Sales, used to say /
that Early rising preserves health /
and holiness"
Insomnia, or sleeplessness, Is COM I
mon, especially among mothers with /
young children, and amsng the VIC
Tins OF oyerwork and anxiety. Stu
dents in college often complain of
sleeplessness. 1t is perilous thing
to resort to drugs. The only real
cure is found in physical labor. Fa-
tigue from exercise in the open air
is almost invariably followed by
sound sleep.-bio Le1ris's Month

never hitherto found anything so much

and occupation. Some n has gone
to the trouble of compiling a list of sta
tistics showing the particular occupa-
ton followed by the inmates of the diff
ferent public and private lunatic asy-
lums in England before their incarccra-
ton. From this il appears that the
professional and commercial groups
yield by far the largest proportions.
varying from five per 1000 in soldiers
to "a in civil engineers. and "a in
a~rsists to 10 in the teaching and lee
turing class. In the commercial group.
