Here, as we turn n corner, we meet one
Of the queerest looking professions In the
world. 1t is small company Of men,
their heads perfectly covered with white
mantles, with holes for the eyes and
mouth They look in the moonbeams like
company of dead people, just resurrectcd
and walking about the streets, with
shrouds still upon them. One OF them,
met alone i'm an American town, would
scare any girl into Mysteries.
A feeling OF Indignation comes over us
as we glance at this strange walking
group, but when we know what they are,
it turns into n sentiment Of fervent love.
They are the Miscricordia--an association
formed to comfort and relieve misery
wherever they can hear OF 1t. They are
recruited from all classes of citizens, from
the prince TO the pauper. When n certain
signal Is struck by tho bell OF the big
cathedral, IL means that somebody Is suf-
fering and needs their help Those on
duty that week must rush TO their rendez-
vous as village people do to n fire, and
help the afflicted ono. These masks con-
ceal their faces from bystanders and from
each other No one knows who they are
not even the person who Is receiving
their help. Six of these men are bearing
n human body with them. II the stretcher
is tightly closed they carry corpse; this
one is open, thank heaven, and they are
trying to save a life to its friends. II any
association in Italy has the approval Of
God, the Misericordia has. viii Carleton

A curious effect of the wear and tear to
which the earth's crust is ever being sub
jected is exhibited in the singularly
capped pinnacles existing on the South
river, in the Wahsatch mountains. There
are hundreds of these slender pillars,
ranging in height from 40 to 400 feet,
most of them crowned by large caps Of
stone fhey are not works of human art,
as might almost be imagined, but are the
memorial monuments Of the once rounded
hills, from which they have been cut by
the action Of air and water These PIN
nacles alone remain Of some square miles
of solid rock, which has been washed
away to Il depth of 400 feet. The greater
hardness of the surface has caused II 10
resist corrosion more than the underlying
rock, thus leaving the huge stone caps
perched high in air ON the points of the
thin columns. At one point, while this
carving process has been going on, thin
wall of rock was penetrated, leaving a
lofty natural bridge or arch, which adds
to the picturesqueness Of remarkable
landscape. pe.--Arkansaw Traveller.

A richly dressed, handsome young

present who excclled her In personal
charms--that made her conspicuous,

Inent on her part. The whole claim upon
fame rested In the magnificent solitaire
diamond earrings she wore. As they
caught the rays Of the electric light they
almost dazzled the eyes OF the audience.
There evidently was no pnste about them.
They were genuine stones and worth not
less than $1,000 each. When the play

observed the lady during the performance,
saw her as she was leaving the building.
He looked for the diamonds, but they

Facts CONCERNING Cold Waves.

There are many other curious facts con-
nected with the progress of cold waves.
Many instances occur, says Lieut.. Wood
ruff, where the temperature at given
station, ut the time of the appearance Of
the cold wave in the northwest, is lower
than the minimum afterward produced
by the cold wave. 1t often happens that
a cold wave sets in from the extreme
northwest, and upon reaching the Missis.
sippi valley divides, part going north
easterly to the lower lake region and the
other part southwark to the Gulf states.
In either case the intensity appears to be
greatly diminished. This action seems
generally to be due to the sudden devel-
opment of storm somewhere in the
southern part Of the Missouri valley
Sometimes storm Of slight energy re-
mains in Kansas, Missouri and the Indian
territory, and has the effect Of retarding,
or even totally destroying n cold wave.
Again, when cold wave Is retarded in
this way it seems often to gather force
and intensity, and rush rapidly forward
and spread over the entire country. An
other frequent feature is that after cold
wave commences the temperature con-
tinues to fall in the northwest, and an
other wave is formed entirely distinct
from the first, from which 1t becomes sep
arated by warm wave. The warm wave
is only narrow belt, but the cold waves
are perfectly distnct.-Pioneer Press.
