The Fall OF khnrtoum.

TRIMMER and ever more ghastlv be-
come the stories of the fail of Khar-
toun. That told by Greek refugee
who survived the storm of the ill-fated
city is full of lurid light. There are
passages that remind us of CARLYLE.
When the city was betrayed he heard a
hldcous uproar, as of men shouting and
yelling and Of women wailing, around
about on all sides. "Mcn with frightful
gashcs on their faces and limbs came
lying by and towards us; women with
torn garments and dishcveled hair
shrickIng, screaming, 'Jcsu Christor" >"
Gordon, according to the Greek, was
shot by an Arab in his palace as he was
reading the Bible; his head was cut of
and carried about the city on spear.
His body was then cut into little pieces,
Gordon head was taken over TO the
Mahdi. a grim. savage smile passed
over his face. He gazcd long at tho
countcnance of his late enemy. God
be praiscd' he cried. "Can this be
hep" Horrible, indeed, was the scene
in the bazaar, where gay curtains and
bright satins lay smeared and splashed
with blood. making strange contrast

President Clcvcland's Grand father.

President Clcvcland's grandfather
was the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, born at
Haddam, Connecticut. Fcbuary 3, l744.
Mr.. Cleveland was Fcdcralist of the
school of Jay and Hamilton, whom he
supported with more than ordinary
zeal, and perhaps not without some-
| thing of the prejudice which ranked all
Jeilersonians with French fatalists and
iniidcl5.
Many stories are told illustrating his
power of repartce. Among them is the
following: On horseback one day Mr..
Cleveland was riding from Middletown
to Durham; a little stream bounded
the limits of the townships. He halted
to water his horse: meanwhile Young
man. having come from the opposite
direction. drew rein SO suddenly as to
render the water by the disturbance un-
tit to serve for drink.
"Good-morning, Mr.. Minister" said
the youth.
"Good-morning, Mr.. Democrat" re-
piled the reverend gentleman.
And pray why did you take me for
a Democrat?" qucricd the young man.
''Pray why did you take me for .
minister3' rejoincd Mr. Cleveland.
"Oh. said the fellow, that is plain
enough-by your dress"
"And that you are a Democrat is
plain enough by your addreSs. " was the
retort of the preacher.
While visiting in New Haven, Com
necticut, Mr. Cleveland died suddenly.
September u, 1915 His remains were
Inferred in a cemetery in that city. His
inheritance was much-loved, respect
ed, and stainless name.
The m,u of whom we are speaking
must not be mistaken for his father,
the great-grand-father of President
Cleveland, although each was called
Aaron, and both were ministers of the
Gospel. The elder became a resident
Of Halifax the year subsequent to the
founding of that city. He there estab-
lished what was known as "Mather's
Church" so called after the great New
England divine of that time. His pas
torate continued five years; during that
period he founded a church library.
Many of the volumes were his gift
The library is still in existence. and q
number OF the books containing his
autograph presentations may still be
| seen.
A Scottish preacher succeeded Mr..
Cleveland. and the society has since
that date been known as est Mat
thew's." 1t was the first organized
Presbyterian Church in the British
lower provinces. To-day it is the FASH
ionable church of that denomination
in Halifax. The word is preached from
the old-fashioned boX-like pulpit, to
which the minister ascends by two
long winding stairways. The pews
are, as in the ancient time, padded
throughout with scarlet, and the Brit
ish "red-coats' constitute large por-
ton of the audience in the high gallery
that reaches around three sides of the
building, Editors DraWer. IN Harper's

Set one o.ucc of gum arabic in half a
pint OF boiling soft water; let 1t stand
twelve hours. Pour it carefully into
a bottle and cork it. This is used IN

with raw starch. Or: Take one ounce

THE SUWANEE RIVER.
A Description of the Beautiful scenery
Through Which u Flows.

The other day two or three OF MS,
boon companions well, there were
some thirty or forty in the excursion
went to that spot famous in song and
story--the Suwanee river. The ride
TO the gulf has already been described;
suffice 1t to say that the trip was swift
and agreeable. The junglcs had lost
none of their beauty, the splendid
magnolias were in bloom, the grand
oaks were garlandcd with gigantic
grapcvines, and the moss was as gray,
silkcn. and fantastic as ever. One
takes small steamer going for some
distance along the gulf, and, after n
nights rest looks from the sheltered
deck upon the lovely Suwance. The
river is quite as large rs the upper st.
Johns, bending in and out in innumcr-
able curves for over one hundred
miles. In its clear waters you can see
the fish lcaping ana swimming. Every
bend throughout its entire course seems
more graceful than the last; every
stretch more romantic and beautiful.
Nowhere is the verdure more tropical,
and rs far rs the eye can reach one
sees an unbroken line of symmetry. II
some gardener had the care of the
trees on either side his work would
call for hearty admiration, but IL is all
the handiwork OF nature, that magniii-

How Artificial Teeth May DO DAM

period Of life than to hear complaints
Of Indigestion experienced. so 1t is af-

The dentist deftly repairs the defective

without any intention to justify doc.

the significant fact that the disappear

There is in the town Of PhGnixville
to-day an eXemplttication OF the opera
tions OF nature as displayed in the
formation of coal. where 1t can be found
in actual process to transformation
from vegetable matter to a soft soapy
carbonic substance, and the latter
gradually changing to Ignite and then
again into soft coal of the bituminous
form. Go along the Pennsylvania
Schuylkill Valley railroad, between the
first passenger station of that system
and the next one, and you will find
force of men cutting down the bank
there, eighteen or twenty feet high.
and amid those rocks, perhaps three
feet above the railroad track, you will
observe a black seam. That black
seam is Laboratory of nature. From
above before the Morgan house was re-
moved and the surrounding bank, big
trees sent their roots down through the
soil and then through the crevices Of
the rocks till they reached the seam in
question. which in time they filled with
roots and tibres.
The trees above died and the roots
and flores confirmed in the seam began
to work, chemical changes took place,
| carbon was evolved, and coal was the
result The laboratory was opened by
| the building of the railroad before the
slow process was fully completed, so
that you can find there to-day the vege-
| table and carbonizcd matter and Ignite
and coal together, proving, indeed,
that the popular thought that Goa
| grows is true.

The house was new, and appeared
clean and comfortable. The host was
Il French Canadian. who, to do him
Justice, tried to do his best for the ac-
commOdation of his guests, but, un-
fortunately for the comfort Of our par
ty, his knowledge OF hotel-keeplng was
limited. The house was hIlcd with
summer boarderS, which mean, IN
Canada, tribes of children with their
mamInas and nurses. Not mascu-
line was to be seen anywhere (thcy
knew bcttcr). When the boarders de-
seconded to the dning-room with appe-
tltcs that would have done ample JUS
ticc to good meal, they were appall-
by the heterogeneous mixture OF babies,
mothers, and nurses who had posses
sion OF every table in the room. Ana

one of the walters for the quartctte, IL
was to sit down to soilcd table lmen

desirable to cmbody the same in writ

accomplishing this task the method of
Euclid has been followed, both as one
which will bo universally understood
and as showing moro clearly than any
other the connection between the sue
