EdObe combined.
The cliff houses conform in shape to
the floor of the niche or shelf on
which they are built They are of
firm, neat masonry, and the manner
In which they are attached orcemented
to the cliffs is simply marvellous. Their
construction has cost great deal OF
labor. the rock and mortar of which
they are built having been brought
hundreds of feet up the most precipi-
tOus places. They have a much more
modern look than the valley and, cave
remains, and are probably in. general
more recent, belonging rather to the
close than to the earlier partsof long

It seems probable that a rich reward
awaits the fortunate archaologist who
shall be able to thoroughly inyesti-
gate the historical records that lie
buried IN the masses of ruins, the un-
explored caves and the still mysterious

IS quite improbable that any certain
light will ever be thrown on the origin

How Ii Feels to Be Eaten.

Sir Lyon Playfair recently related
that he knew three men who escaped
with their lives after being partially de-
voured by wild beasts. The first was
Livingstone. the great African trav-
eler, who was knocked Oh his back by
lion, which began to MUNICH his arm.
He asserted that he felt no fear or
pain, and that his only feeling was one
OF intense curiosity as TO which part Of
his body the lion would take next
The next was Rustem Pasha, now
Turkish Ambassador in London. A
bear attacked him and tore of part
of his hand and part OF his arm and
shoulder. He also said that he had
neither a sense of pain nor of fear, but
that he felt excessively angry because
the bear grunted with so much salts
faction in munchiug him. The third
case is that of Sir Edward Bradford,
an Indian officer now occupying a high
position in the Indian Office. He was
seized in a solitary place by tiger.
which held him firmly behind his
shoulders with one paw and then de-
liberately devoured the whole of his
arm, beginning at the end and ending
at the shoulder. He was very positive
that he had no sensation OF fear. and
thinks that he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
is certain that he felt none during the
munchinC of his arm. Manchester

NoTICE.-Parties who have nothing

of Pine River, will be kind enough not
to start any fires as they are liable to
do more damage than they think of.
Two years ago We had about 40 cords
of wood burned by some thoughtless
person starting fires on the river bank,
and about week ago some one started
fire some distance below VOLTS
Bridge. Everything was very dry and
the fire spread very rapidly, which
caused us considerable trouble and
loss of time fighting fires to keep them
from burning wood and fences. We
hope parties will be kind enough to
take a gentle hint and be more careful
in future. Also if they open gates and
take down bars they will be kind
enough to leave them as they find

RECIPE FOR BEAUTY.
The Effect Of Habitual Nobleness on the
Expression Of the Face.

Ekpressioh of the race.
Looking on fine faces we admire
three things-features color and ex-
preston. The features, these forms
OF brow, nose and chin, are requests.
coming often from far ancestors; our
colors, too, are ia the main requests,
depending on the quality of tissue and
Of blood, the more immediate parents
give it; but expression is very largely
own our affair And, even with good
features, and clearest colors, expression
is 1.-THE best part Of beauty" The play of
thought, will and feeling on the face
OF noble thoughts, firm self-controls,
and pure, unselfish, gentle feelings
we can ourselves secure, if so we will.
Ten years of habit, three years, or only
one, will affect expression much Some
one has said that "every face ought to
be beautiful at forty" and another,
that mo old person has a right to be
ugly, because he has had all his life to
grow beautiful" That is to say, life's
opportunities of nobleness, or even
forty years of opportunity, if we'll
used, are enough to make so much
beauty within that it can not help COM
ing through the surface in graceful
habits of the nerves and muscles. The
TRANSPORTATION of pleasant smile,
kindly lightings of the eyes, restful
lines Of self-control about the lips,
pure shinings of the face as great
thoughts kindle inwardly - these
things no parent makes inevitably
ours, and no fitful week or two of
goodness gives them, and no schooling
OF the visage either but only habitual
nobleness and graciousness within; and
this will give them all.
Splendor from within! 1t is the only
thing which makes the real and last
ing splendor without Trust that in
evitable law of self-expression. Be,
not seem! Be, TO seem. BE beautiful,
and you will by and by seem so. Carve
the face from within. not dress it from
without. Within lies the robing-
room, the sculptor's workshop. For
whosoever would be fairer. illumina-
ton must begin in the soul-the face
catches the glow only from that side.
1t is the spirits beauty that makes the
best face, even for the evenings com.
pany; the spirit beauty is the only
beauty that outlasts the work and
wear and pain of life Christian Reg
lister.

y A question of great deal of in
terest to pension claimants has been
solved by decision of the assistant
secretary Of the interior, in the some
what famous zimmerman case"
The question is, what constitutes be-
ing in the line of duty in the service?
zimmerman was a soldier in an Ohio
regiment, and, one day, in the fall of
1888, was standing in front of his
tent. Several of the men were en-
gagged in a general frolic near by,
and one of them leaving the others,
came up to zimmerman and engaged
him in conversation. While his at
tsntion was thus attracted, another
kneeled down behind him and his
comrade pushed the soldier back
ward, after the fashion of small boys.
zimmerman broke several bones
around his shoulders, and has since
suffered greatly from the injury.
He applied for a pension but his
claim was rejected. The case was
appealed, and in June, 1886 the then
assistant secretary, Hawkins, after
arguments, decided that the reject
ion by the commissioner of pensions
should stand, and the case was en-
tered in the bureaus book of leading
cases as exemplifying the principle
that "the proximate cause of the in
jury must pertain to and have direct
connections with service and the line
Of duty in order to give the title
of pension" But as zimmerman
was not engaged in play himself, and
was not in anyway transgressing any
of the ordinary rules of camp life,
be still claimed that his case was
good. Mr.. Bussey reversed the rul-
ing Of the Office in this case and
ordered the claim of zimmerman adj
mitted. His position was that the
claimants injury was connected as a
result with his military service, in
that the service placed him in a po-
sition where without fault on his

visit to the farm of l.. II. Treat, stu
ated three miles south east of Alma,

fair last fall with five of his colts by
his side, these colts were all raised by
Mr.. Treat and two of them were raised
by one mare.
Riley is dark snow gray, well pro-
portioned. good bone and muscle, has
good feet and remarkably fine action
for heavy horse. He was sired by
Montrose, imported by Durham Bros,
of H., and owned by Hiram Byam,
of WATERFOWL, Clinton Co, Mich.
In order to introduce his horse, Mr.

MACAULAYS STYLE.
Why 1t Can Not BE Reproduced by His
Admirers and Disciples.

Why 1t Can Not BE Reproduced by His
Admirers and Disciples.
1t has become of late fashion TO
speak of the decaying influence of Lord
Macaulay. In measure there is truth
in the reflection. The number OF those
who are tempted to initiate, or try to
initiate, the perilous combination of
ease and stateliness in his style, has
dwindled down to one or two assiduous
but not over-fortunate disciples.
1t by no means follows, however, that.
because it has ceased to be a model, it
has in any degree lost its attractive
ness. 1t is no dishonor to vanished
hero that no survivor presumed TO
WELD his sword. Macaulay's style
was perfect from the pen OF Macaulay,
but IL was not one that could be repro
duced by lesser men at will. Soak
your mind with Cicero" was his add
vice once to a beginner. 1t was not so
easy a thing 10 imbibe Macaulay.
What was with him etfortless splendor
became with the mechanical copyists a
poor affectation. The flavor of novelty
soon left the Fictitious mimicry, and
nothing but the artificiality remained.
What was grand became grandiose;
the stately periods, the picturesque
imagery, the matchless lucidity
shriveled into a spiritless array of
thin, stilted sentences, painfully simu-
lating an appearance Of rich and rest
full ease.
Macaulay could be reproduced just
as little as Carlyle, and though the
copyists Of the more kindly master Of
Tended less than those who caught at
secondhand only the crabbedness and
ruggedness OF the Sage of Chelsea,
still they offended, and little by little
have wisely abandoned in despair an
enterprise on which it was folly to
enter. Liverpool Courier.
