Fear Conquered By Instinct.

An amusing illustration of the
strength OF involuntary impulse was
recently afforded by the visit OF burg.
lars to the home of certain we'll
known official of this city, who lives
Just outside the district limits, in the
country. About three o'clock in the
morning he and his wife were suddenly
aroused by the appearance in their
bedroom OF three masked men. Two
OF them stood at the head of the bed
and, with revolvers cooked and point
ed at the temples of the bed.fellows,
ordered them to lie still and save
their lives by so doing. They com.
piled with the request while the third
rufiian began to explore the room.
His bulps-eye lantern being awkward,
he took q candle from the bureau ami
lighting it began TO ransack closets,
drawers, boxes and bureaus in the
room. While so engaged he carelessly
let the paraff;ne taper drop in swift
succession hot drops all over the floor.
The housewife, though bound to the
pillow by the muzzle of revolver,
could not restrain her impulses despite
the blood-curd!ing threat OF the burg
lar at her side. She ha(f-rose in bed
and cried out:
'Shame on you; don't you see you
are spelling my carpet?"
An unintelIigible grunt was the only
answer.
"Now. look here, you villain"
again cried out the housewife, IL

how we can't take it with u.s." he
gently remarked.
The scoundrels at tho bedside only
chuckled. At that moment an alarm
clock set up its call for an eurly-ris-
ing servant up stairs. The thieves
became suspicious at once. They
snuffed out the candle and threw u
blg bag cont aiming their plumber over
their shoulders, closed the door be-.
hind them. and stole down the stairs,
out OF the front gate and decamped.
And then it was that the good
housewife tainted.

walked her into the little dark parlor,
where the horse-hair sofa and mildew
were. LET us talk together q

And then Marian came slowly neal
and shyly took hold of Eugene's coat

she spoke.

"you took a long time to tell me so. !"
"Marian!"
"You did. This is the first time

"Dearest-but you must have

"Only tell me by what means. l

Danger in the House Fly.

Few realize what an enemy to man
is the common house fly. It is bad
enough to have them crawl over our
berries; it is tantalizing to have them
speckle our glassware; it is maddenine
to have them investigate our bald
heads, but there are deeds of which
the fly is guilty that put all these in
the shade. Flies eat sewerage and
putrid matter that is reeking with
disease germs until they arc filled with
them, and then bite us and so inocu-
late us with disease, or leave the
contaeion in our food. We hear q
great deal about the little things that
make up life. Let some one tell us

superstitions Erpptlans.

LONDON, Oct. lS.-There is a fast
growing fear among the Egyptian ma
tives that the present low stage of the
Nile is due to the Vaccinations of the
madhi. 1t is argued that the ancients
were fully aware that it was possible to
defect the course of the Nile, and in sup
port Of this argument the opponents of
this theory quoted Ezekiel and Isaiah,
threatening desolation of Egypt and the
turning of her waters from their courses.
1t IS further alleged that the king of
Abyssinia, in 1904, threatened the Turk
ish pasha at Cairo, to avail himself of his
power to tnrn the Nile from its course at
some unexplored region through which
the great river runs, and any persons
not sharing the fanaticism OF the madhi's
followers are inclined to the belief that
he, too, has discovered the place and the
means Of putting Egypt to death slowly
by drying up her fountain of life.

and the state secretary has issued strict

disease.

Rugby, which arrived at quarantine from
