miles due west from Cabul the capital of
Afghanistan, aud about 200 miles southeast

Why Pa FOrgaye Her.

Once, when Carols mamma was very
ill, the little one hushed her sweet voice
lest she should "'sturb mamma"
A weary time it was for the wee gir-
lie She missed mamma; and tired of
watchful Mary, she liked to slip away
into papa's study, and play quietly be-
side him while he wrote his sermon.
His presence made the study pleasant
place.
Mr.. May often made calls in the after
noon; and one day noticing the shadow
ON the little girls face, he said Il shall
be home by four, Carol"
Carol watched and waited, and still
papa did not come. A thought occurred
to her. With great effort she climbed
up to the study clock, and, opening the
door, tried to move the hands along,
when, alas snap went one of the hands.
'..Where is my little girl3" asked Mr..
May, as he entered the house an hour
later. But no little girl appeared. When
he entered the study she pointed mutely
to the clock.
''But why did my darling touch the
clock2" asked her papa.
And Carol sobbed out: 81, wanted to
make it time for papa to come home. "
And papa could not find it in his heart
to chide hers. Nicholas.

The Oriental Bath.

A correspondent who has been taking
bath in Damascus describes the opera
ton as follows: Push aside. this gay
curtain on the street, and you descend
to room whose ceiling in palt is
dome and beneath it the omnipresent
waters of the Abana, flowing into mar
BILE basin. The floor is of marble. The
dome is encircled by demi, domes, under
which are corresponding inches with di-
vans on floors elevated two feet above
the main marble floor. These divans
are luxuriously cushioned and pillowed
The draperes are oriental in, color and
fabric, and the ever-present stripes of
blue, yellow and red, of which Moslems
are so fond, girdle the walls. The slip.
pered attendants move monotonousg
about in silken robes and rich turbanS
delicate, patriarchial faces which look as
if all forms of dirt refused to stick to
them. One immerses himself, SO to
speak, in these soft divans, and the pa
triarch fetches him pipe, the nargileh
and deposits on the Persian tobacco a
coal. This is the luxury of living, and
who wonders that recumbent in such a
place, the Oriental is ready to let the
world wag on without himself interfer.
ing?
This luxurious place into which we
are introduced is Damascus bath, and
is the best production now possible of
that age when the bath was the bourse,
the social exchange, the lettering place.
of the eisurely classes, as was the case
in ancient Rome and Athens. Here the
Damascene for song gossips and smokes
and bathes.
You do not undress yourself, but the
patriarch in silk disrobes you, girds a
towel around your loins as in the days Of
Paul, gets you into those ridiculous
wood clogs which lift you four inches
above the damp floor. You are now i
the hands of the turbaned priest of the
place, who ushers you over marble floors
into an interior apartment whose light is
sifted down through a dome punctured
with bullseyes of divers colored glass.
The place is full of the genii of the
streams, who are dashing water on the
bathers, which they dip from the dripping
fountains whose overflow runs down he
floor and out through conduits.

peatedly with buckets of almost scalding
water is, first that you are being perse-
cuted for being Christian even in a
mild way; and the patriarch seems to en-
joy your dilemma; for there is sort of
Koordish malice in his semi barbarous
eyes. The room is steamy and very hot,
but in the absence even of fig leaves the
heat is paradsacial. Then comes scrub
bing with hair mittens and barbarous
Arab outcry; then lathering; then an
other dousing with buckets of water,
and finally, not as lamb to the slaugh-
ter, but like pig to his cauldron one is
submerged in tank of water hot enough
to blister. This is oriental luxury, and
suppose there is nothing like getting
used to it, and really the last half-Aour
is luxury, when toweled and covered
with clothes you are left on one of the
divans of the cafe, with coffee, pipe
and quiet of heaven about the place.
When one is cooled he is assisted into
his clothing by the curious Arab, to
whom trousers and coat are never end
ing source of curiosity.

BIG FIRE AT BUFFALO.
Music Hall and ST. Louis Catholic
Church Burned.

Church Burned.
AS an attache Of Music Hall, Buffalo, N. "
was lighting the gas jes, just above the stage,
drop fly took fire from a defective burner. In
an instant the whole stage was in flames, and
in six minutes the entire building was burning.
An hour later the st. Louis Roman Catholic
Church at The rear of Music Hall took fire, and
it was soon evident the magnificent edifce
was doomed. Two citizens George Smith and
Joseph Green, ascended ladders in front of the
church Tor the purpose of assisting the fremen
in directing the work. The building burned
rapidly, and the iremen and Smith hastily
elt the roof, which they had reached, but for
some unaccountable reason Greene remained
behind and iiantically rushed to the cupola
climbing it in full view of the thousands ofspec-
tators. He clnmbered to tho lightning rod,
but leturned and rushed to the body of the roof,
which was now burning fercey. He
rushed 10 the corner of the building, and
needless Of the cnes OF the firemen, who had
Il tnrplulin stretched for him to Jump into q,
made fer the tower, and from it hong by his
hands fully 10 minutes. An attempt WIS made
10 reach him with ladder but was unsuccess-
tul, owing TO the network of telegraph wires
surrounding tho building. At this time the
entire front of the church was enveloped in
flames, and for a time n dense smoke hid the
imperied man from view. When the smoke
cleared away he was seen to be still clinging
to the edge of the roof. Then he lunged for
ward, let go his hold on the roof and iell. His
eet struck the lower roof as he fell, and turn
ing over he struck on his head and was
instantly killed.
The cost of Music Hall building is roughly
estimated at $4,000. There was an insur-
ancu of $50 600. Tho cost of St. Louis church
was about S75 900, and the building was in
sured for $25,OOO. About $4,000 has been
expended for extra decorations, etc, during

and did not arrive until noon. Beside
the regular train there was an extra num-
ber of coaches filed with excursionists
going West.
Jack, want to ride down to the big
bridge on the engine and get off there.
Am going to the picnic at the grove"
"All right, Ike; we've got heavy
train, and we are an hour behind; but L
guess we can make it up"
Ike had always had desire to run an
engine and often when riding with some
good -natured engineer friend they would
allow him to ''run be machine" few
miles. e
"Can l handle her down to the bridge,
Jackm
"Yes, guess So but we must make
up time Put on steam"
Away they flew. The long train thun-
dered down the gentle declivity, and the
ponderous engine swayed and rocked
and rushed forward like the wind.
Ease her little, Ike; we're nearing
the bridge"
Just then, as they shot around the
curve, lke's eye caught sight Of white
signal.
TMy Godl Jack, see that signal2
There's danger ahead"
Then began the struggle. Steam was
shut off and the engine reversed, as the
long, shrill whistle sounded for the ex-
ira brakes.
There on the bridge, stood Stella,
waving the banner frantically to aud fro.
Onward came the train, laundering and
roaring upon them. But there she stood,
pale as death, surrounded by those little
ones, fighting for the lives of those on
board-and for his.
And how the heroes of the engine
worked At last the train was under
control and was stopped at the brink Of
I destruction. ....
Two broken rails lay across the bridge.

Plants Growing in Money.

A number of persons have tried to
find money in plants, and failed. On
the other hand Hungarian scientist
tried to find plants in money and sue
ceeded. The money was in the form of
bank notes, even those which had been
in circulation but short time. To be
sure, the plants are so very small that a
powerful microscope is required to see
them. Nevertheless, they are as much
plants as is pumpkin vine, or an oak
tree. What is lacking in the size of tho
plants, is made up in that of their names.
One of them is Saccharomyces cerevise,
another Pleurococcus monetarum, and
SO on. These little plants with such
hard names, can grow and multiply in
the substance of bank bill, and the
matters that adhere to it, without its
owner being any the wiser for it,

THE WEEK
In the United States and the
Old World.
THE FRIEND OF THE INDIAN.
President Cleveland Promises Redress
TO Red Cloud.

President Cleveland Promises Redress
to Red Cloud.
The following is furnished by DIR. T. A.
Bland as report of the recent interview be-
tween Red Cloud and the President. Red
Cloud said: 81 am head chief of my people.
My people made me q chief, and when made
aueaty with the government II years ago, the
commissioners made me a chief. You are
chief of the white people and the Indians, SO
my people held a council, and told me to
come to Washington to see you, and have n
talk with you My people have been treated
very badly, and when we heard that u new great
father had been elected, we were all very glad.
Our agent is q bad man. He steals from us and
abuses us, and he has sent all of the good
white men out of our country and put bad
men i'll their places. For long time l have
been asking for n new agent, but the other
great father would not hear my words. Now,
l tell you | want a new agent The great
iAthcr sends us plenty to eat and plenty of
clothes to wear, but our agent doesn't let us
have what belongs TO us. He steals it, and lets
US starve aud freeze. l want my people to
work, and my people want to work and raise
corn and other things like white men. But
the agent won't let us have things to WORK
with. He doesn't give us seed1 10 plant nor any,
body to show VI how to wU.G. We want an
agent who will let US have what is ours, and
not steal what the great father sends us.
Some OF my young men have wanted to kill the
agent for treating us so badly, but told them
not to do it. l said wait till new great
father is elected. Then he will take this
bad agent away and give us a good agent. Last
year our peoi lie held a council and told me to
ask our friend, DR.. Bland, TO come and see us
and give us good advice. AS soon rs our friend
got there the agent arrested him, and sent him
away with guns pointed at him. ielt very
badly to see my friend treated that way, and
my young men got very mad. They wanted to
kill the agent and bring Dr. Bland back, but
told them not to break the law"
President Cleveland in reply said: 'I nm
surprised at what you tell me- and l will look
into the matter. l want you to have a good
agent, who will treat you kindly and justly ,and
teach your people to raise crops, and you shall
have such a one. You did right to advise your
people not to break the law, and am glad to
hear that you have obeyed the law, and that
you want your people to learn to work and be-
come civilized. l will do all I can to help
you"
The chief shook hands with the President,
and said: "Your words make my heart glad.
will tell my people what you have said to
me, and that will make their hearts glad"
