Had an Eve to Rusines..

A queer thing occurred at Christ church,
in Louisville, on recent Sunday. A little
child or years old was taken to church for
the first time by its grandmother. The old
lady gave the little darling quarter to drop
in the plate when it was passed around, but
the child had an eye to business and
instead OF depositing the money when
the contribution box got within reach
it grabbed a handful of change. The
grandmother was horrified, and or
dered the child to put the money
back, but 1t would not obey Then a rough
and-tumble scramble ensued and the little
hand bad to be forced open, and the screams
filled the church.

SOLITARY White Men " no Live Among
the sayagss Of Oeeaufca.


the ssvagss of Oeeasiea.
Many solitary white men live on lit
tie islands in the Pacific ocean. They
are traders in the employ Of large con-
mtrcial houses in Europe. They rarely
OF never see other white men, excep'
when vessels come about twice q year
to bring them food supplies and articles
Of barter and take on the cargoes they
have collected. After getting psrmis.
sion Of the native chiefs to settle, they
build . station, with lumber landed for
the purpose, and then open trade with
the natives, bartering their tomahs@ks.
knives, tobacco, and other articles for
cocoanuts. With the assistance OF
native labor they open the shells, dry
the nuts, and make Of them the preps'
ration known as coprs, which is taken
to Europe and there converted into oil.
4 few white men may be found in
some savage groups who went there as
traders many years ago, finally adopted
native msnners and customs of their
own, married an inordinate number OF
native wives, and are moro lazy and
degraded than most of the aborigines.
Mr.. Rorilly, who has met q number OF
them, says their offspriugs are gen.
orally the most worthless vsgabonds on
the island.
A while ago the crew Of vessel
which touched at one of the Admiralty
islands were greatly surprised to hear
the firing Of gun. Presently white
man, who gave tho name Of John Dunn,
appeared. lie had been on the island
about two months, and is believed 10 be
tho only white man who has ever lived
on any Of the Admiralty islands. lie
was engaged in an enterprise OF his
own. He had been driven from the
island on which the vessel had landed
him by the hostility Of the natives, and
had taken refuge where he was found.
lie was fishing for beche de D'cr, which
i3 esteemed by the Chinese as 4 great
culinary dslicacy, and said he expected
to dry enough to make him rich if the
natives did not kill him, or the vessel
forget to come back and take him away.
Whether John Dunn has safely de-
parted from the home Of his cannioal
friends has not yet been reported.

An Engineers story.

W. G. Roberts, a clesn.shaven, alert
looking delegate from Division 81 Of
Philadelphia, comes from family OF
rairoad-men. His father took out, as
conductor, the first passenger train that
ever went over the Baltimore and Ohio,
and many of his relatives are piloting
locomotives on roads East and West.
lie is first assistant engineer and secre-
tary in his division. lie has stood in
the locomotive-c1b twenty-four years,
and is now running out Of Philadelphia
on the Wilmington and Baltimore road.
Here is story Of his that is both
thrilling and pathetic: One afternoon,
twelve years ago, he was driving his
locomotive and nineteen cars over tho
road at speed Of thirty miles aa hSa'
when he saw on the track before him a
little black object that ho took 10 be
inanimste. As the engine sped nearer
the obstacle moved, and Roberts
thought it must be dog. Three hun
bred yards further on, the train still
running with no slackening Of speed,
the engineer made out a little child
standing between the ties and looking
innocently at the coming monster.
Roberts realized that his locomotive
could not be pulled up in time. The
child must either move or be killed.
Ills whistle sent out n succession Of
piercing shrieks and be reversed his
engine, but still the baby stood there,
its frock blowing in the breeze aud a
gleeful expression On its face. The en-
gineer was in agony Of despair. 1t
flashed across his mind that in another
second he would crush a little innocent
about the same age as one be had at
home. He shut his eyes when the en-
CINE was at the spot where the child
stood. A hundred yards further on 1t
came to a s.sndstill. For minutes
Roberts leaned against the side Of his
cab without finding courage to get
down and look at the bsby's mutilated
body. BY this time the conductor nd
hurried to where the little one had been
standing. lie called to Roberts to
come there. The engineer obeye1 like
a criminal going to the place OF exocu-
ton; but the next moment he felt that
God had reprieycd him. Sitting on
patch Of grass, the only soft place
along the road for half a mile on either
side, vas the child, sound and unhart.
Just as the engine, sxsying under the
reverse motion, reached her the child
had fallen forward on the cow-catcher.
The coupling-hoOk caught in her dress,
and held her for an instant. Then
reel Of the engine to tho right threw
her to one side, where she fell on the
grass. One triliog bruiso on the fore
head was the only mark on her skin.
The child is now a young lady, who
lives on the lire Of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad.

OF all the voices that speak TO me

igious privileges are we prone to liVe)
when suddenly, solemnly, sweelly peals
forth the bell, and at once the atten-
ton is arrested we feel rebuked for
our forgetfulne-s, and quickly drop the
curtain upon our surroundings and Tx
our thoughts upon sacred things. We
realize that there is a place where care
will no moro disturb us-where we
may dwell continually upon the love of
Jesus. We picture to ourselves heaven
with its hosts praising the Redeemsr,
and think, "Oh to be there "; then
we fall upon our knees and we fer
vsntly pray that we may in future live
lives that will give us an entrance to
the beautiful land -; then we are
ready for our temporal matters. We
can enter upon them in calm frame OF

latter had la thick, shaggy bark strippsf
OF nearly to the ground, being
dead tree, and thus losing much IN its
measurement. About thirty yards
from the camp was tree that gave
twenty one feet In circumference o.
about six feet from the ground. The
most astonishing part was that such .
forest should be found actually sur
rounded by ice ten to twenty miles
across in every direction. or course,
1t is reasonable to suppose that trees
were here before the ice and this forest
probably once connected with the forests
Of the great fiat lands. Here was un.
doubted evidence that this small forest
vas being oblitersted rapidly by the
advancing front of the Guyot glacier,
the foot-ice grinding the huge trees into
pulp snd splin,ers as surely as quartz.
cIusher grinds the rock into powder.
Trees Eve and six feet through we're
bent over and splintered as though they
were brush, while some Of the fallen
trunks were split loDgitudinally into
perfect kiDdlipg-wood. IL was the
mills Of the gods grinding slowly, etc.
Nor were they grinding so very slowly,
either, as one could see by comparing
them with other glacial action near by.
But a little way of, probably q hall
mile to a mile away, was small clump
of woods into which the glacier in the
past had trutruded, as shown by the
fallen, shattered trunks that lay near
the edge of small moraine, from
which the glacier had nov retreated
great number of rods. Out from the
bristling line Of shattered tree-trunks,
piled over each other for nearly or fully
one hundred yards, all the spruce-trees
were dead, but still standing, their
whi,ened trunks and long, gaunt limbs
contrasting strangely and conspicuously
with the trees still covered with foliage
that formed their background. These
dead evergreens hsd been actually
killed by the proximity to the ice
without it's touching them, and either
by its chilling influence kept up
throughout the year for probably cen.
turtles, or the constant application OF
the ice-water about their roots prevent
ing their growth for along this foot
ice there was always marsby stream
Of ice-water draining off to the nearest
muddy creek or rill. This was true Of
the glacier-foot not over fifty yards
from our camp in the forest, for here
We got our water for cooking purposes;
but here, also, the ice Of the glacier
had evidently como forward so fast
that the trees were rather killed by
direct crushing Of their Trucks and
limbs than BY the slower one of the
influence Of great masses of ice near
by, ard it was possible to sit down on
this foot-ice Of the Guyot glacier, pro-
badly ten to twenty feet thick at that
point, and at tho same time be under
the shade of huge evergreen tree, it
a person desired two such cooling In
Auences ct the same time. Thus l
came to the conclusion that the front
of this great glacier was like the fingers
Of some huge ra.iating animal proloug-
ing themselves outward and retracting
again at long intervals that would re-
qnire many human lives one after the
other to measure single stride and its
backward pow.
