"for my part, I see not the slightest
sorcery in the whole affair, and il there
is it is very natural sorcery, which you
perhaps are now too old to comprehend,
but which is nevertheless no offense to
God"
"But what shall ! do2 What shall ]
dol" still cried the old Betzkor.
"Do2 A very simple thing-give him
Dodena to wife. Is he not the bravest
and handsomest boy in Sotwinka2 And
If | say this to you, you will be able to
believe it with closed eyes, for after God,
if there is any one upon the face of the
earth able to sound the hearts of men
and women, it is truly, it seems to me,
the minister of God"
The old Betzkor was by no means con-
vinced, but as in the end his sighs and
lamentations brought about no change
in the situation he was forced to give up
the argument aud yield the game.
Now Dodena is the wife of Vlasin, and
when they take themselves to the steppe,

unitedly toward the heavens blue and

A Man Daposlted In Bank.

Joseph Cannon. the young man who
was imprisoned few afternoons ago in
a vault in the unfinished building of the
Keystone National Bank at Juniper and
Chestnut st; eets, Philadelphia, in conse-
quence of friend playfully pushing the
spr ng latch door shut while Cannon was
inside, was liberated at eight O'clock tho
next morning, after having been pris-
oner for fifteen hours. The safe was not
finished, and had no handle or knob on
the door. When Cannon's friend dis
covered the plight in which he had
placed him, he became greatly alarmed
and called for help. A number of men
worked with chisels and bars for several
hours, but ouly succeeded in opening
the door about an inch, which, however,
was sufficient to admit air to the prison
er and permit food TO be passed to him.
The effort TO release him was then aban-
doned for the night. About eight
o'clock the next morning an expert with
pair Of tongues reno ed one of the
bolts, and the door swung open. A
crowd of people had gathered and a
hearty cheer greeted the young man
when he stepped out Of his 'cell, " not
much the worse for his confinement.
Cannon admitted that he was badly
frightened when he found the door
closed on him, but said he vas comfort
able after the door was loosened and
fresh air admitted. -Nei0 York Sun.

American and European Herons.

North America has a fine array OF
herons. Not less than round dozen of
species make up the list, while in Europe
only two are at all common, the lew
other species mentioned being only visit
ors, more or less rare. The heron OF
Northern Europe-the bird embalmed in
song and story as the noblest quarry at
which king or prince could fly his falcons
the bird which it were death, in
medieval times, for villains to harm-is
still carefully protected in England. II
is closely related to our ''great blue
heron but is not so large nor so hand
some, and, presumably, less courageous
than the latter. The large herons are
everywhere shy and wary birds. The
great bulk and Imposing carriage make
them a conspicuous target for gunners,
and their hereditary suspicion is intensl-
fed by personal experience of the treach-
cry of man until they show an eagerness
to vacate the neighborhood at his ap.
proach that edectually precludes all at
attempts at close observation. The
smaller kinds, on the contrary, manifest
but little timidity, and were they not
persecuted would soon familiarize them.

Primitive African Telephone System.

A part of Reclus's map showing the
tribes who live in the CAMERON district,
West Africa, is shaded to show exactly
what portion of the country is the home
of the four or five little tribes who have
perfected an ingenious and practical
telephone system that distinguishes them
from all the other natives of Africa.
Everywhere among the blacks of Africa
the big drum or tam-tam is used in war
and on festive occasions, but it is only
these CAMERON natives who have dis.
covered how useful the tam tam may be
made as a rapid promulgator of news
ovet mountain and plain.
OF course, the news is telcphoned by
drumming on the tam-tam, hut the
sounds produced are not signals. Ac-
cording to the New York Sun they repre-
sent syllables and words, and so grow
into sentences like the ticks of tele.
graph instrument. 1t is a very ingenious
invention, and deserves to rank with any
of our own devices for the rapid trans
mission of news that we're in vogue
before the electric telegraph superseded
them. The force and rapidity with
which the instrument is beaten are elc-
ments in the Interpretation ofthe idea to
be expressed, and syllables and words
are also formed by combinations of
strokes, something like the Morse alpha.
bet. 1t is complicated system, and
speaks highly for the intelligence of the
people who devised it.
The system is a secret that is confided
to only about 200 of the natives. Though
| five or six of the white residents and ex-
plorers in that region have told all they
know about the tam tam telephone, its
language is as yet wholly unintelligible
to them, as the secret is carefully
guarded. Only few women have been
instructed in the art, and no slave is per-
mitted to acquire it.
! 1t is the duty of every operator to be
ready, if need be, when he hears the
tam tam to repeat the message, which is
taken up in turn by operators further in
land. In this way any news may be COM
municated for distance of forty or fifty
miles in few hours. Thus the chiefs
correspond with one another. and no
important news happens that is not
promptly telephoned all over the dis
trict. When q ship arrives at the mouth
of the CAMERON River the tam.tam may
be heard beating far up the side of the
neighboring mountains, and the news is
repeated from drummer to drummer
until it reaches the furthest confines of
the district. If white party proposes
to visit some chief in the interior the
| tam-tam carries the news to him that
; white visitors are coming almost before
they have started on their journey. Thus
our benighted African brother has taught
himself a way to annihilate space aud 70

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Pineapple Pudding.

Cut fine ripe pineapple in slices and
boil it for ten minutes in a pint Of white
sugar syrup, then remove the fruit and
press it through a sieve. Add to the
syrup in which the pineapple was boiled
an ounce Of gelatine which has been
soaked in cold water for twenty minutes,
and stir over the fire until the gelatine
is entirely dissolved, then strain tho
syrup through piece of muslin, and
when rather cool stir it into the fruit
pulp. You can decorate the inside of a
mold with fruit if you desire. The fruit
used for decoration should be dipped
into melted gelatine, then it will adhere
firmly to the mold. Pour in the pine
apple, ETC., and imbed the mold in ice
until required. If the decorating is
done tastefully the pudding will form
an elegant-looking dish. When more
convenient, canned pineapple may lie
used instead of fresh, and will answer
the purpose very nicely.-Ne0 Yorl

The PeriIs of Damn Reds.

A respectable proportion of the deaths

fire in his bedroom. If,this be impracti-
cable, he wraps his cloak around him or
pulls out the sheets and sleeps between
the blankets, disagreeable, but often
prudent, expedient. The direct mis-
chief may result from the contact of an
imperfectly heated body with sheets
which retain moisture. The body heat is
not sufficient to raise the temperature of
the sheets to safe point, and the result
must be disastrous in the extreme, If, as
is sure to happen, the skin is cooled by
contact with surface colder than itself,
and steadily abstracting heat all the
night through. Country people in
particular are specially culpable in this
matter. A spare" room is reserved for
guests. For weeks it may remain un-
occupied, unaired and unwarmed. A visi-
tor arrives. Unconscious of the fate that
awaits him he calmly passes the evening
in social enjoyment. Later he is shown
to the spare" room for the night. The
atmosphere of the apartment has the
chill and damp of the tomb, and the
sheets of the bed are veritable winding
sheets-shrouds, in fact. He is fortunate
if he escapes with nothing more than a
''cold." There is no excuse for the
neglect of proper precaution to insure
dry beds. = Culfiuator.

THE HoME-eouND HOST.

The sound Of host advancing,
Trampl tramp tramp
Under the windy flicker
And flare of the evening lamp,
Under the steady whiteness
OF the clear electric light,
The sound Of an army marching
Is in the streets to night.
Not 10 the clamor Of bugles,
Nor the stormy beat of drums.
Not to the battles tocsin,
The jubilant army comes.
A sweeter music summons
And thrills along the line,
Though each for himself may hear it,
And make to the next no sign.
The patter Of tiny footballs
That run to an open door,
The mothers tender singing.
Her step on the nursery floor,
The boyish shout of welcome,
The girlish ripple OF glee,
At the click in the guarded portal
or the home-bound fathers key.
This is the army's music:
Cheerily calls goodnight
The merry voice Of the comrade
As he passes out Of sight
Into the heart Of the household
When the days long work Is done,
And wife and bairus are waiting
With q kiss for tho dearest one.
Under the windy flicker
And fare of the evening lamp
hear host advancing
With steady and resolute tramp
A host of the strong aud gentle,
A throng Of the brave and true,
Dear little wives and mothers,
Fastening home to you'll

Electricity as am AnesthetIc.

Mayor Hewitt, of New York, says the
MtI and EGrress, was not far astray in
his assertions made before the Electric
Convention the other day at the Hotel
Brunswick, when he said that electricity
was only in its infancy. A lady who
went through the trying ordeal is re-
sponsible for saying that dentist in this
city has successfully introduced eleSs
tricity as substitute for gas. She went
to him the other day to have a tooth
pulled, and as she feared to take gas an.
ticipated martyrdom. - dentist asked
her if she would not try Slectricity, and
his explanation satisfied her of its pain
lessness and safety. The dentist had a
small battery with which he charged her,
and when he placed the forceps to the
tooth to be pulled, the instrument acted
as a conductor OF the electric fluid, which
flowed from the tooth. When he pulled
she felt no pain, the electricity seeming
TO neutralize it, and the operation was
performed as easily as if gas had been
admini'tered. The patient beside felt
exhilarated aud strengthened by the
operation. There seems to be no longer
any ieason why the filling and pulling of
teeth should be accompanied with such
fearful dread and subsequent agoay. -

THE GRAY FATHER.
A tiny girl went singing

A tiny girl went singing
Among the meadow flowers;
Her father watched her bringing
Her happy thoughtless hours
She never saw his features,
She never knew his face,
OF all unconscious creatures
She had the joy and grace.
Years passed her father brought her
A jewel for her brow;
She thought-and while she thought, her
Gray father she saw now.
But she was not so mirthful
That father now she knew;
OF grief she found old earth full,
And she was older too.
The father of that maiden,
He is old Father Time,

With more of prose than rhyme.

Her words forever after
Are rather said than sung.
