On a lovely spring Sunday some months
ago sone Eng ish ladies in Suakin mounted
to the housetops and witnessed a thrilling
spectacle. in the clear atmosphere every
movement was visible on the sandy plain be-
hind the town, across which Osman Digna's
horsemen, posing their long spears and with
terrific yells, charged furiously, while the
Egyptian troops drawn up in battle array
pour volley after volley into the turbaned
hosts. Shells from the gunboats In the har-
Dor Kissed over the heads of the ladies and
plunged into the mass of advancing Arabs.
The charge was as desperate as the furious
rushessat Abu Klea, and the tremendous fire
that emptied many a saddle did not daunt
the fanatical courage Of the desert warriors.
Then the ladies saw on the yellow sand a
fierce hand to hand 6ght, soldiers who were
defending themselves pierced with spears, q
wavering of the charging line, and finally
the slow retreat of the enemy, who carried
their dead and wounded from the field as
they sullenly retired
There was not a tree or q house to hide a
single detail or to impair the ~vividness of that
Sunday morning spectacle It cost over 200
lives, and it was one of those rare occasions
when non-combatants are able to see, spread
out before them as on a stage, the carnage
and all the realities Of battle.-New York

by F. N. Fay, who had an extensive orchard.

verted into vinegar. While the fluid was

Port Huron, Mich, has a gas well that b
six years OLD The finders did not know
what it was when they struck IL. It was put
down for oil, and, the objects for which the
work was undertaken not having been
reached, it vas abandoned. and by some
strange phase in this wide awake community
it is being forgotten. The site of the hole
was originally a hollow basin. It is now q

Mechanism OF the Heart.

In the human subject the average
rapidity of the cordiac pulsation of an
adult male is about seventy beats per
minute. These beats are more fre.
quent as q rule in young children and
in women, and there are variations
within certain limits in particular
persons owing peculiarity Of organi-
zation.
In animals, the range is from
twenty-five to forty-fve in the cold
blooded and fifty upward in the warm
blooded animals, except in the case of
a horse, which has very slow heart
beat, only forty strokes q minute.
The pulsations Of men and ell ami
mails differ with the sea level also.
The work of a healthy human heart
has been shown to equal the feat of
raising FIVE tons four hundredweigAt
one foot per hour, or 1875 tons in "a
hours. The excess of this work un-
der alcohol in varying quantities is
often very great. A curious calcula-
tion has been made by DR.. Richard.
son. giving the work of the heart in
mileage.
Presuming that the blood was
thrown out the heart at each pulsa-
tion in the proportion of 50 strokes
per minute, and at the assumed force
of nine feet, the mileage of blood
through the body might be taken at
207 yards per minute, seven miles
per hour, 16s miles per day, 6l,320
miles per year, or 5,l50,S80 miles in
q lifetime of 81 years. The numbec
of beats of the heart in the same long
life would reach the grand total Of
2,S69, 900.

The Tune Which Killed the
Cow.

There was certain cow whose
death has insured her long literary
life. The event is chronicled in verse,
which runs somewhat in this style:-
There was u man who bought a COW,
And he had no food to give her,
So he took up his fiddle and played her a
tune:
Consider, tuy COW, consider,
This it not the time from for grass to grow,
Consider, my COW, consider.
This is said to have been the famous
tune of which the cow died, but long
experience has convinced me that an
obvious derivation is seldom the cor
rect ode, and l would rather put for
ward another, Among the inspirit-
ing airs often performed on the me-
lodious and richly modulated bsgpipe
is one known as :'Nathanial Cows
Lament for bis Brother" and when
listening to it have felt an internal
conviction that it, and no other, is the
"tune the old Cow died Of"

At Sunset Time.

The painted shadows fall
From the church windows tall;
It's pictured saints look down,
Upon the quaint old town,
At sunset time
No tramp of horses feet
Disturbs the quiet street;
The distant hill-tops seem
Wrspt in halcyon dream,
At sunset time.
A bird Hits to and fro,
Above the branches low,
And sings in monotone
Ofioys forever flown,
At sunset time.
Strange shadows, floating, rise,
Across the evening skies
As daylight wanes apace
In this sequestered place,
At sunset time.
The glowing tints grow dim,
And family. like hymn
Heard through the half-closed gate,
They fade-and it is late,
At sunset time.
Pale watcher, though the night
Shall quench you rays of light,
Know that all sorrows cease,
And troubling sinks to peace,
At sunset time.
We seek the fields where bright
Stream run, and lilies white
And fadeless roses grow
Where deathless summers glow,
At sunset time.
There is the perfect rest.
In pilgrims garments drest,
We march, with staff in hand.
Straight TO the Sunset Land.
At sunset time.

of the people by licensing an increas-
ed number of drinking places, and has
thus continued the reign of vice and
crime and misery within our bounds.
Some judges seem to have a
strange and very unwholesomc dread
of the influence Of public sentiment
and think that it should not be re-
garded, lest it should drive the Court
"irom it's moorings and tend to an
archy." But the strangest feature of
this strange dread is that it seems to
operate only when public sentiment
is in favor of temperance, truth and
righteousness, sound morality and
good government, and no fear is ex-
pressed when it is in favor of the op-
evils and vices, But is this strange
dread of public sentiment we'll found
ed? Who ever heard of public SEN
timent in favor of truth, righteousness,
sound morality and government tend
ing to anarchy? On the contrary,
are not these public sentiments the
very foundation and bulwark of oil
wholesome law and good government,
80 far as human instrumentality is
concerned? What is government
worth, or what is law worth, how
ever good it may be in itself, if it has
not sound public sentiment to sus-
tain and execute it? Without the aid
of this mighty influence to impart
vitality and power, the one is simply
q tottering fabric falling into ruin and
the other is dead letter upon the
statute book.
On q question like this. OF license

A Sad Discovery.

From Titusville, Pa, comes this
strange story; A year ago promi-
nent young man of Titusville, who
had spent couple of years in Rich
mond, returned 20 his fathers homo
and introduced as his wife beauti-
full young woman. A few weeks
ago the young wife became a mother.
For four days no one was permitted
to enter the room, nor was the moth
or allowed to see her offspring, the
room being being kept dark. The
young husband finally demanded n
admittance. Then followed start
ling development. He discovered
that the child was an undoubted me-
gro.
The indignation of the husband al |
his parents was terrible. The wite'5
father was communicated with, and
a letter from that gentleman in o
measure makes matters plain.
Briefly stated, the answer was
this: Bessie. the young wife, was
adopted when . child from an asylum
in Richmond. About four years atlcr
the adoption, the foster parents acci.
dentally heard that the girl was tn
child of a miscegenous marriage. No
trace of this was visible in the child.
who was as white as any Caucasisa.
The secret of her life and true paren-
tago was never related to her until
now. The distraction of husband and
wife is very pathetic. Family pride
will not allow q continuance OF fmarital
relations, yet the two are deeply a.
tached to each other:
