Despite the defeat of home rule, it
is an encouraging feature of the con-
test that Irelapd's demand for JUS
tice has been backed by Scotland
and Wales. The proportion Of home
rulers elected in Scotland is even
larger than in Ireland. The Tory
gains are in England alone. The
sectional issue thus becomes more
conspicuous than ever before in
British politics. 1t will undoubted-
ly remain the paramount issue as
long as the question Of home rule
is still unsettled, and it will disap.
pear only when the question shall
have been settled justly. Heretofore
Ireland has been compelled to fight
her battle single handed, but hence.
forth she will have the assistance
of Scotland and Wales. England,
with the other three important d.
visions Of the kingdom arrayed
against her, will soon he forced to
yield. Itis donbly important now
that Ireland should so bear herself
in adversely as not to lose the sup
port Of her new allies.

Attacked by Bees.

Last Friday John Humberd a
contractor on the new road between
Piedmont and Cumberland, W. Va,
while driving from Keyser to Cum
berland was attacked by a huge
swarm of wild bees. The insects
settled by thousands on the man and
beast, tormenting the animal until he
became mad with pain, finally drop
ping on the shafts and breaking
them and then kicking the vehicle
loose. The bees kept up their fero-
cious attack causing the animal to
rear aud plunge madly. The horse
finally snccumbed to the torture and
dropped to the ground biting and
crushing the pebbles in his path, dy-
ing after few minutes 10 the most
horrible paroxisms. Mr.. Humberd
also received his share of the insects
attack and was painfully stung
about the head and face by the
swarm which lowered around him.
He made vigorous defense, but
would probably have been stung to
death had it not been for small
lake in the vicinity into which he
plunged securing instantaneous re-
lief.

Lost in Mammoth Cave.

A party of men and women who
had been traversing the Mammoth
cave the "lopg route" met with a
thrilling experience. The company
was composed of twenty-seven. Du.
ring evening, while in the winding
passages beyond Echo river, nine of
the number became separated from
the main body. The only guide was
at the head of the line, and the alb.
sence of the rear guard was not
noticed. The unfortunate were lost
for eight hours. .#.r.=
To add to the terror of their stu.
alton their lights went out and they
shouted themselves hoarse in the
terrible darkness. The main group
did not notice that any one was mis-
sing until they gathered in*the hall
at the end of the long route. Then
their anxiety was great and they
began vigorous search. The lost
finally adopted the plan Of leaving
small articles Of clothing in the path
as they walked along, and by these
means they were finally found sit
ting on the banks Of the Echo river,
to which they had finally arrived
The women in the party suffered

May was still lingering out its last
"ayS' and Marjory's picture of the chan
''l-Screen had not yet received her sig
nature; the completion Of her work
would terminate the pleasant hours in
winch she painted TO the sound of the
'ector'S music. Paul spent part of each
morning at the organ now, and his grave
oolce rising in the words ofth oratorios
llled Marjory with sense of satisfac-
"O' almost, but no, not quite-nothing
1Ould ever do that almost as deep as
That she realized in art.
between the two a mutual bond was
ouengthening; kind Of camaraderie in

A STUDY IN OAK.

POSSIBLY not. quite agree with you
IA merits of the picture: but it owes
:, value, technically, to the fact the de-
,ls are subordinate to the composition;
h,t the significance Of the study is not
Jpstroyedby giving undue prominence
n,nutia which would attract atten-
i'm from the thought itself, to its expo
,ton OF rendering"
Paul had certainly increased his score,
INT he lost all he had gained by his next
remark.
II must say Chill October commends
itself to me in preference to another of
Nilais' pictures, Christ in the House of
His Parents, which, | confess, seems
absolutely repulsive to me.
Marjory raised her eyes sorrowfully
and reproachfully to his. What a pagan
this man was How different from the
ardent youths who receive her doctrines
as Inspirations! Yet he looked in his
ascetic calm amenable to the teachings
ofthe higher cult she could afford to be
generous, and there was no bitterness in
the sadtones in which she spoke.
Tome that most lovely picture is the
highest embodiment of art it is a reve-
lation-a gospel! 1t touches me at the
point Of personal preference. Wooden
details possess a great charm for me. y
Her clasped hands, her rapt air, the
devotion in her voice, all were lost upon
her unsympathetic auditor, who answer
ed briskly-at last he had found safe
ground
"Ah, that's why your subjects are
chiefly architectural you rarely paint
landscapes, think
mo, l like interiors best" Marjory
answered and the conversation drifted
INTO discussion Of style in architect
ure' until it ceased to be conversation
and resolved itself into an exposition
delivered in the rector'S unbroken mon
Otone-of archaeological art.

Inconsistency! Why, she was more
absorbed in art than ever, and spent the
morning working at the screen, or paint
ing in the garden, when the harmony Of
Paul music alternated with the harmo-
ny of PauPs presence as he talked to the
two ladies in the dolce far niente OF the
summer quiet. But perhaps the happi
est time to the young people-for the
reetorwas only thirty-fve-was the post
prandial hour when they sat in the chap
Ell attachedto the rectory-Paul playing
on his own organ, while the sunset sent
shafts Of light through the stained win
dow when Marjory looked up at its de-
vice-St. Cecilia at her organ--wonder-
ed if the saints music could have been
more heavenly than this to which she so
intently listened.
The rector rarely played Bach's
stormy studies or Gounod's quiet melo-
dies now Schubert and Schumann, with
passionate strains from Wagner, were
more expressive of his moods, and when
these failed he improvised harmonies
which made Marjory think of Hugh
Drayton with regret that was not at all
sorrowful, seeing that her devotion to
art had taught her such content.
She, at least, had satisfied herself that
woman could find her life in art /;
f henceforth that theory would be more
postulate, but an axiom for the guidance
! of all enterprising and would-be-inde-
pendent young women! twas strange,
however, that sitting ldle-handed listen
ing to Paul's music, a fearful conviction
would force itselfupon Marjory that she
could be absolutely happy in conditions
: of which her art-which was only syn
onym for her life, everybody knew that!

"She is narrow and girlish in her
preJudlces, thought the rector, "yet
her work and enthusiasm are sincere.
How attractive she is in her inconsistent
cy and alterations, and how charming
IN her impotent intolerance of my
views"
1t may be laid down as basis of dem
onstratlon, that when a young man
gives up thinking Of a young woman by
her proper society title; when she ceases
to be concrete and becomes a mere alb
straction to him, that young man has
gone very far toward developing an alb
normal interest in the nameless object of
his nominations.
The frivolous cousins began to look
with respect upon Marjory severe dra-
per1eS, above which rose face so calm
in its inward peace; for during these
days the artist bore the aspect OF one
who has attained unto Nirvana They
did not know--how should they, gay,
butterfly rls?-that feminine devo-
ton to art for arts sake brings full salts
faction only when under the influence Of
a masculine appreciation of art, also for

the blessednesS of the life which has at

THE LEADER IN A MOCK RELIGIOUS SERVICE
DIES RAvING MANIAC.
A special to the New York World from Har-
risburg, Pa. February 7th, says: News Of q
strange and mysterious occurrence at Mil
lersburg, Dauphin county, has been received
here. On Thursday morning there was jovial
crowd in q hotel at that place and while they
were imbibing Samuel Motter entered. Motter
was well known throughout the county as q
patent-medicine peddler and was about fifty
five years of age. His wife died in the aims
house some time ago. and since then he has
been living near this place.
Shortly after Motter entered a discussion on
religious subjects arose. The sacrament of the
Lords Supper was talked about. Motter be-
came very earnest in his talk, and finally dared
the men to indulge in an imitation ofthe Lords
Supper. They agreed to have 1t with beer and
that beverage. They then knelt in mock
humility, and with the beer in one hand and
the bread in the other, Motter went along dis
tributing bite and a sup to each.
strange noise was heard, and looking up the
men saw q sight that "made their blood run
cold and frOZe the marrow in their bones" AS
near as the scared men could describe it, they

eyes that flashed fire. With wild yells the men
rushed out into the open air and scattered in
every direction. Finally all of them reached
their homes except Motter, who was away for q
long time, and at last he arrived, a maniac. He
was put to bed and physicians summoned, but
they could do nothing for him. He raved,
howled and prayed, declaring that he had seen
the Evil One and that he was lost His torture
was terrible. but nothing could be done to re-
The death-bed scene is said to have been full Of
horrors that can hardly be described.
