With that she put the last stitch into

"Only ten minutes to get ready in!

laying it down, and beginning to get

Miss Fairfax, with more animation than

deserted, the shops little troubled by
customers, whilst the young women be-

and white and bleached like every other
living thing in the unwholesome heat

1t was the beginning of August in this
particular year of which l am writing.
The day was Monday. and it was a
bank holiday. The heat in the town
was sitting; not cloud was to be seen
in the dull blue sky, save the dun-col-
ored shroud of smoke which encircled
Irkford, and through which the sun
glared unwinkipgly. like ball of mol

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Wreck of an Excursion Party Attending
With Miraculous Escape.

A Canton, o., special says point on
the Valley railroad, two miles east of that
place on the Goth, was the scene of terrible
wreck, in which one thousand eXcursionists
miraculously escaped with injuries. The
employees of Aultman & Co.'s machine
works had their annual picnic at Cuyahoga
Falls and over 2, 600 went on the excursion,
made up of two trains of fifteen cars each.
The first section arrived at Canton at 7:20p
m, and while hundred fathers, brothers
and sisters were at the station waiting for
friends and relatives on the second section,
q hatless messenger came running down the
track crying that the train had been wrecked
and many killed and injured. The scene
that followed was Of the widest description,
and when the wreck was reached men, wo-
men and children ran around wringing
their hands and looking for their loved
ones. Nine cars were off the track and in
water four feet deep. The cries of the in
jured were heartrending. Hundreds Of
willing hands set to work and soon found
that not more than TWENTY-FIVE were injured;
but it was impossible to know how many or
who were killed.
The engineer says the wreck was caused
by the track spreading. The engine passed
safely but the first car jumped the track and
eight others followed and ran alongside the
track, throwing the occupants from side to
side and finally jumped the track and landed
in three feet of water. The doors were cut
open and the people got out. Later intelli-
gence shows that twenty-tw persons were
injured, butno deaths are reported, and the
wounded are doing better than expected.
No one was killed, and those missing and
supposed to be under the wreck have turned
up. The loss to the railroad company is

Ancestral Resemblance.

Demorest's Monthly.
A recent writer on heredity points
out the fact that resemblances will
crop out in families after centuries
have elapsed. There is a picture of
Governor Winthrop hanging up in the
state house. When ex-Speaker Win
throp took his seat beneath the por-
trait, everyone was astonished at the
resemblance between the old Puritan
and his living descendant of our day.
The Hapsburgs, the reigning family
of Austria, have Il series Of family por-
traits extending back six hundred
years. The likenesses are extraordi-
nary, and all, or nearly all, the
mouths have peculiarly shaped
underlip. Henry of Navarro, the gal
liant French Monarch, assassinated by
fanatic priest, is reproduced in form
and features by his descendant, the
Due de Nemours.
The Jewish race is another instance
of a certain type of form and feature,
maintaining its uniformity over eigh-
teen hundred years. This extraordi-
nary people have been scattered over
the earth, and subjected to every vari-
ETY. of climate and local conditions
yet in Russia, Arabia, Morocco, Ger
many, England or the United States
there is family resemblance which
cannot be mistaken.

ORGANIZING FOR THE WORK.
Meeting of the Committee of Seven Ap-
pointed to Consider Plans.

The committee of seven appointed at
the meeting of the democratic national COM
mittee to consider plan for organizing a
national committee for campaign work, met
in New York after the national committee
adjourned. All members or proxies were
present. A general discussion took place
and a conference with the congressional
committee was held. 1t was decided that
the national committee should attend to
national affairs especially, and that the con-
gressional committee should look after the
elections in congressional districts. 1t was
estimated that there are seventy EIGHT con-
gressional districts that are confessedly
close, and to these the congressional COM
mittee should give their particular atten-
ton. Representatives Stevens, of New
York; Murphy, OF lows, and Rosecrans, Of
California, were appointed a standing COM
mittee of the congressional body to work
with the national committee. The head
quarters of the COMPRESSION ii committee will
be in Washington. The headquarters Of
the national committee has not yet been

Woman's Sixth Sense.

Here is a singular instance, says the
Boston Courier, of the working of that
subtle, fine, sixth sense which is apt
to affect women more than men, and
which is so mysterious in character that
we often incline to deny It's existence at
all. A lady sat quietly sewing in her
sitting room, and in an inner. chamber
the nurse had just put the baby to sleep
and laid her in basinet. AS the nurse
came out of her chamber she said to
her mistress: 'The little thing is
asleep for three hours, ma'am, LII war
rant" The nurse went down stairs,
and for about minute the mother
sewsd on. Suddenly a desire seized
her to go and take the sleeping child
from It's crib. "What nonsense" she
said to herself. "Baby is sound asleep.
Nurse just put her down. 1 shall not
CO." Instantly, however, some power
stronger than even the last urged the
mother to 60 to her baby; and, after a
moment, she rose, half vexed with her
self, and went to the chamber. The
baby was asleep in her little bed, safely
tucked in with soft, white and pink
blankets. One small hand was thrown
above the little brown head. 1t was
half open, the exquisite fingers slightly
curved, and the palm as rosy as the
depths of lovely shell. sMy baby!"
whispered the mother, adoring the lit
tie sleeper as mothers will. 'sMy own
little baby!" She bent over suddenly,
a third time impelled by the mysterious
force which was controlling her, and
for no apparent reason took the sleep
ing baby in her arms and went swiftly
into the other room. She had scarcely
crossed the threshold when startling
sound caused her to look back. Through
a sitting cloud of thick gray dust she
saw that the ceiling above the baby's
cradle had fallen, burying the basinet
and lying heaviest of all on the spot
where, but for the mystic warning, her
child would have been lying.
