A New York Sun srecial from Wheeling,
Of May oath, says: In Nstkinsville, Mineral
county, w. Va, . little struggling village
half hid in the leafy mountains, three lively
young ladies intended to play an innocent
practical joke on Arthur Knowlton, rather
airy young clerk In the principal general
store In town. To this end they literally
seasoned pie with white powder which
they supposed to be EPSON salts, but which
turned out to be deadly drug. At picnic
the clerk ate freely Of the pie, but his sick
ness took rather more alarming turn than
the young ladies expected. He eventually
recovered, and the next time he met one Of
the young ladies on the street he cut switch
from bush by the road and whipped her
severely. She ran home, crying with pain,
rage and modification. Her brothers took
her part, and that night tarrsd and feathersd
young Knovlton. Last night one Of the
brothers, while walking In the street, was
shot and instantly killed by some one un-
known. The result Is division Of the COM
munity into two dangerous and Ievengeful
factions.

POETRY.
A QUIET PICTURE.

The shifting shadows lay
In changing quaintness on the bare white
floor,
Creeping in softly through the open door,
In a still, drowsy way,
Coming through mazss of the ivy-vines
That fall In shapeless masses from the pines
The fire-light gay and bright,
With CHEEKY bushes for Its ruddy charms
Steals trembling from the old hearths huge
Where, in their own rich light,
The giant logs I'm splendor fall away
In glowing shapes among the ashes gray.
The baby on the floor,
With tiny hands closed DER her pearly toes,
Watches the fire. blaze a. it comes and goes,
And wonders mere and more
Whence comes the red light on the snowy
feet,
And strives to catch it in her fingers sweet.
The happy mother sits
With folded hands, her weary work all done,
With the last smiling of the harvest sun;
And lists, her eyes love-lit
To the low prattle Of her eldest born,
Whose cheek is dewy as the early morn,
In hsmespun garb of gray,
The father sitting by the window wide
Unfolds his paper with an honest PRIDE
And, in his homely way,
Reads OF the pomp OF state-its wealth and
With scarce one envious longing in his heart.
Upon the lowly steps
The granddame watches for the coming
moon,
While murmurs of some half.remembered
Drop from her faded lips;
She dreams again of olden days more fair,
Nor marks the shadows fitting Ger her hair.

The Maldi's Cruelty.
Philadelphia Times.

1t is said that the Mahdi just cuts the heads
off those natives who are bold ennneh to
anestion his Divine mission, and promises
delightful paradise to those who are faithful
to him. Meanwhile his own private harem
numbers some thirty-nine wives, divorced
and taken back alternately to keep within
range of the Mohammedan law. His mac
tivity after ths defeat Of Hicks Pasha is ex-
planned by the statement of special corre-
spondent to the london Ne,os, to the effect
that in that fight the Mahdi received sword
cut across the forehead, which divided the
brass cap which he wears under his turban
and inflicted an ugly wound. For some time
after the battle he did not appear In public.
Mohammsd Ahmed is "a total abstinence
man of the purest water" When he read
General Gordon's latter offering to make him
Governor Of Kordofan, he burned It publicly
and sent back word that his mission came
from God, and he did not need human titles
and honors, and that If the General would
walt little while he Qhe AahdD would

Blondes Dying Out.

An old gentleman, who has studied The
subject statistically, tells . New York Sun
reporter that the blondes are gradually dying
out. In 100 studies made from women,
indiscriminately, In 1910, he found that the
blondes numbered forty-seven, the mezso-
tints twenty-one, and the decided brunettes
thirty.two. In 1870 similar number, picked
at random, showed . ratio Of twenty-nins
blondes, twenty-eisht mezzotints, and forty
three brunettss. The old gentleman's last
observation was made in 1880, when he dis
covered twenty three pure blondes out Of 100
women, twenty five semis, and dfty-two bru-
nsttes. Previous to 1S45, he says, the ten
dency was In the contrary direction, but the
large influx Of people from Southern Europe
and the incre reasingly great number Of Jews,
together with the gr,ater persistence Of the
dark as compared with the light color, under
the influence OF intermarriage, are response

Recently one Of the most dinhcult engi-

vas successfully accomplished at Buffalo,

and lhsy sgresd 70 undertake the work.
New iron towers were constructed, and the
work Of transferring The weight Of the bridge
from the old tower to the new was success

London World.

LoHuoH VoFtu.
Lord Ssafeld's will was very short, con-
sidering the enormous property which 1t
dealt with, as it simply left everything to his
mother, SO that the whole Of the estates
we're absolutely at her disposal. Lord Sea-
field had fully intended to make more elab-
orate settlement, BY which the property
would have been devised 10 his mother for
life, with revesion to the head Of the family.
Lady Seafield at once intlmated to her
brother-in.lsw that she would lose no time
in carrying out her sons intentions, which,
moreover, were In atrict accordance with her
swn wishes; and accordingly she has exc
cuted deed Of entail which conveys the
whole property TO the present Earl and his
successors after her death, and in the mean
time Lord SeafYeld will receive 1000 pounds
ayear. The British peerage Of the late Earl
has become extinct; so his successor will
not enjoy seat In the House of Lords, un-
less Mr.. Gladstone takes pity on him.
The Seafeld estates comprise 100000 acres
In Inverness-shirs, $4,000 acres in Banffsbire,
and $1,000 acres in Morayshirs, the total
rental amounting to 5000 pounds year.
Castle Giant, in Strathspsy, Is the old seat
Of the family, and around II are some of the
best grouse moors In the Highlands. Cullen
House, Bsnffshire, the favorite residence Of
Lady Seaield, Is very pleasant place, and
close TO the sea. Balmacaan, in Glen Urqu-
hart, 10 q largo shooting lodge, and lies
amidst an excellent deer. forest, which Is let
to Sir Henry Allsopp, who has sub let it TO
Mr.. Bradley Martin Of New York. Tulchan
and Advis, the we'll known shootings OF Mr..
Bsss, are on the Seafeld property, and so are
the noted forests Of Abernethy and Kinvea-
chic, let respectively to Lady Stamford and
Sir Greville Smyth.
The membranes on the Ssafeld estate
amount to nearly 100000 pounds, but the
Strathspey woods will, in the course of q few
years, enormously increase the income. 1t
was estimated recently that In thirty years
they will realize $4,000 pounds q year, not
merely for one year, but regularly year after
year. There are hundred square miles un-
der timber In the district, ON the estates of
Lady Ssafeld and the Duke of Richmond,
principally the former. The grandfather of
the late Earl commenced planting about
1920, and since 1855 the work has been done
in thoroughly systematic manner. In two
paintings near Carr Bridge there are 35,0OO,-
600 trees on $4,000 acres. The trees arc
principally larches, spruce and frs; but 1o5
varieties are grown on the estates, and thsrs
are large nurseries near Absrnethy. Over
200 persons are employed in the forests,
which are well worth visit from any one
| interested In the subject.

physically, aud found travelling by coach a
very distressing affair. The hotel fare on the
route did not agree with her, aud the various
changes and discomforts she experienced
brought on malady that became so alarm
ing when Lebanon was reached that q stop
was made here and medical aid summoned
TO attend the young lady at her ho'el. She
grew worse instead Of better, and one night,
after delirous fight, followed by brief
period of consciousness, she died In the arms
of her father. II was impossible for Mr..
CLAW TO return home with the remains of his
dead child, so 1t was determined to bury her
here temporarily. The intention was to re-
move her remains to Kentucky and place
them In the family burial place.
