"Shall I send for a cab for you2" said
the host at last.
"No, thank you; I'm staying in the
house."
"Staying in the house! Who are you,
sir2"
"Why, don't you know me9 I'm the
corpse that was brought in this after
noon"
The undertaken in horror rushed to the
mortuary chamber, where in Spain it is
usual for the dead to be removed. The
coffin wss empty. His wife and daugh-
ter had been dancing with corpse!
But it turned out that the gentleman
had only been in q trance and had sud-
denly recovered. Hearing the revelry
above, and being possessed of keen
though ghastly sense of humor, he had
got out of his coffin and joined the
festive party. He was presentable, for
in Spain the dead are generally buried
in full evening dress.-Ne0 York Herald.

THE HERO OF THE coNEMAUGH.

Above the valley of the Conemaugh
Black, boding clouds frowned down;
The spirit of the tempest shrieked
Its voiceless warning to fated town.
''Flee, flee for your lives" it cried;
Escape the surge of the relentless tide"
Yet no one heeded-no one understood;
No warning reached those oft-warned ears.
Fathers but laughed and mothers fond
But smiled, and soothed their children's
fears,
While still the tempest sobbed and cried:
stFlee, fee for your lives! Ride! ride!"
Far up the valley one man understood;
An unknown hero heard the awful cry,
And Ikea whirlwind rode he down
To warn them of deaths horror nigh.
"Flee, flee for your livesm he cried;
''Escape the surge of the relentless tide"
'eHe's mad" they thought. Few needed what
he said;
Some laughed and scofed, a handful fed,
But nearly all remained behind
Within that Valley of the Dead.
Still on he rode and madly cried:
'.Flee, flee for your lives! Ride! Ride"
On, on he rode and raced with death,
Till, beaten in that unequal strife,
The torrent caught him, and his corpse
Swept on with those of men for whom he
gave his life;
And over all the tempest vainly sighed,
'.Flee, flee for your lives! Ride! Ridem

On Pixies Peak.

The officer in charge of the United
States Signal Service Station on the top
of Pixies Peak passes his days in low,
flat building made of stone, and anchored
and bolted to the granite boulders. Dur
ing the winter he has no connection what
ever with the rest of the world. No hu-
man being can ascend to his station, and
it is almost impossible for him to 60 down.
Lee BIeriwether, who assembled the snow
covered mountain one July day, says the
signal officers face wears that careworn,
depressed expression which comes from
unbroken solitude.
"You don't often see snow in July 2"
he said, after had thawed out before q
blazing fire.

Snow is my only water supply. That

"Does not life become weary and des-
olate here, so far from the world 2"

will drive me crazy. My official duties
are light; they require only an occasional
inspection of the instruments. The rest
of the time I have nothing to do but to
read. Too much reading becomes weari-

with my telescope. The wind without IS
keen and cutting as knife.

and animal life, men and women, fade
away like creatures in a dream, and am
the only living thing in world OF eter-
nal ice and snow and silence.

The Death.Roll Of Football Players.

Footballers, commencing their practice
matches, will do we'll to study the death
roll of the English season now closing.
1t has been one of the most grusome on
record. Scarcely week has passed but
some would-bc champion has been laid
low by brutal kick in the stomach, or
has been incapacitated from further Wig
orous exercise by having his leg, thigh,
collar-bone or shoulder-bone fractured or
receiving serious and life-lasting internal
injuries. Within two months no fewer
than eight young men were killed; while
during the season fourteen were injured
in sufficiently serious manner to justify
public attention being drawn to the dan
gers of the game.-Cape 7oun (Atrica)

fore we could reach the spot the enraged
negro wrested himself from the grasp of
the Portuguese, and drawing his knife,
buried it in the unhappy wretch's breast.
"See," he cried, springing to his feet.
'It is right he die, when all my people he
betray!"
We tried to seize him, but with cry
he sprang into the forest and disappeared.
Torres was stone dead; and leaving
him where he lay at the foot of tree,
we hurried on to the creek and reached
the boats in safety.
The Arabs must have been in close
pursuit, for heavy fire greeted US from
shore as we rowed out to the gunboats.
A few rounds from small cannon, how
ever, soon drove the enemy back.
Before night we were gliding under
full steam down the creek, for my orders
were imperative and admitted of no delay,
much as I would have liked to punish the
Arabs.
The Racer at once organized an expe-
dition to start inland from the coast, for
was satisfied that slave station existed
in the vicinity. While the preparations
for this was going on, an Arab dhow was
captured at the very mouth of Vannas
Creek, which, to my surprise, proved to
have on board the remnant of Zuba's
friends. More than half had either per-
ished in the fight or still remained in the
hands of the Arabs.
Of Zuba Inever heard more; but I al
ways regarded the death of Torres and Of
CASTILLO, who had caused all these mis-
fortunes by their dastardly treachery, as a
Just retribution for their crimes.-7he

The Kabyle huts at the Paris Exposi-
ton are curious. Inside each one is a
strange loom, where the women work
incessantly, weaving coarse cloth for
haiks and burnouses, young girls perched
on shelves spinning, children crawling
about in the corners; and the women
weave from morning until night, never
lifting up their eyes, and seeing nothing
of Paris OF its fetes, or even of the visitors
to the Exhibition, for the Kabyle men do
not allow the vulgar to contemplate their
women.-Lon0on World.

TEMPERANCE.

A NICE LITTLE TINE.
Isaw a little doggery
Upon a little hill;
Isaw little ugly man
A-coming from the mill. b
And in the little doggery
The little man did 60, ~
To take a little merry grog
With his little neighbor Joe.
! And when they took a little grbg,
4 They felt little big;
Y They laughed little hearty laugh
And danced little jig. y
They took little more, then
They got little tight;
They disagreed on politics..
And had little fight.
And when they had a little fight
They felt as large as life; #
Each staggered to his little home
And whipped his little wife.

THE PRODUCT OF DEATH.

A. B. Leonard, D. D., Missionary Secre-
tary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, re-
GENTLY delivered the following address 10
ChicEering Hail. New York:
"Alcohol is the product Of the law OF deatn-
It cannot be produced without first Destroy
ing the life principle of that from Wmcn u =
derived. Where the breath OF death Is nol
felt, alcohol is not found. FermensaIo
ALWAYS precedes the production Of alcohoI,
and fermentation is the first step in the pro
cess of decay. Fermentation must reach ing
stage of actual decay before alcohol Is
evolved The process Of decay renders tne
articles upon which it operates worthless Lo1
food purposes A fresh, wen-prepared beef
steak makes an excellent breakfast, but yo9
would not care to eat fermented or decayed
beefsteak. A fresh egg is a palataole arl1
Gle of food, but no one cares Tor q 1ermented
or decayed egg. A ripe pippin Is l9ciou1
to the taste, but fermented OF decayeo ptp]
Din is offensive and Is rejected. ~
prder to produce alcohol, the article fronI
which it is derived must pass through ting
process of fermentation and decay. Ihd
Cluster of grapes, the luscious peach, th9
beautiful pippin, the golden grain must dia
or rot to yield the intoxicating fluid: Alcono]
is horn of O dead mother, and IS thus an
orphan. Being the product of death and
having no life-giving substance, 1t causes
death everywhere. 1t has no elemeng OF
nutrition, and consequently cannot buid ug
tissues in human BODY. The only nutr1tloI|
there is in fermented liquors Is smsii
residuum of undecayed vegetable matter: q
quantity so small that many gallons Of tho
poisonous fluid must be consumed to obtain
even teaspoonful of nutrition, while in dis
titled LIQUORS there is not an atom OF 1000
material, the process of distillation having
eliminated the last particle.

shelter of heavy timber, where, from be-
hind trees, we picked off the reckless
Arabs that exposed themselves to our fire.
Encountered with helpless negroes, our
situation was desperate.
I concluded to retreat still nearer the
creek, for the firing must shortly bring as
sistance from the gunboat. The Portu
guese were dragged resistingly along, and
soon we reached comparatively open
space where already the forest began to
slope toward the water.
But the crafty Arabs had stolen a
march on US, for as we started to cross the
open, struggling fire was poured in on
US from all sides, and the poor negroes
began to fall thickly. It was more than
they could stand, and in frantic terror
they scattered and fed directly into the
midst of their foes. They were lost, I
saw at q glance.
Every second was precious, and we
were about to make dash for the creek
when hearty cheer rose above the din,
and up the slope came file of marines,

forces and charged the enemy, who fled in
confusion, but sad to say bore Oft with
them half of the negroes.
We found CASTILLO lying dead with a
bullet through his head fired by his own
friends, but Torres and Zuba were both
missing. The Arabs still greatly out
numbered us, and their knowledge of the
ground gave them decided advantage.
We started to march toward the creek,
abandoning the ivory, of course, but TAX
ing along the bodies of five of our men,
and picking up on the way half dozen
of the terrified natives who had been in
hiding.
A few struggling shots were fired at US,
but we pressed on unheeding.

suddenly he lifted his hand.
"Listen," he said. "What is that2"
Off to our right bushes were cracking,
and we could hear voices raised in anger.
I was sure recognized the sound of Tor

into an open glade, and found Zuba and
Torres struggling in deadly combat. Be-

evra exclaimed: 81 am no spirit, An
tonic! am that Ginevra that you once
loved, who was buried yesterday-buried
alive!" and fell swooning into the well
coming arms of her delighted lover.
He took her in, warmed, fed and COM
forted her, and when she had been nursed
back to health he privately married her.
The next Sunday they appeared together
as man and wife at the Cathedral. There
was universal CONSERVATION among
Ginevra's friends. An explanation en-
sued, which satisfied all but the lady's
first husband, who insisted that the orig
inal marriage had not been dissolved. The
case was referred to the Bishop, who de-
cided in favor of Rondinelli, on the un-
scientific but none the less POLITICALLY sat
isfying ground that the lady had really
died once and been released from all
former ties. The first husband was even
obliged to pay over to Rondlnelll the
dowry be had received with his bride.

poetry, romance and history example after
example of premature burial, but space

tale which comes to us from Spain:

ball. At the height of the festivities

company. He danced with the hostess
and her daughter, he danced with the
guests. He seemed to enjoy himself
thoroughly. The undertaken thoug ght he
recognized the face, but didn't like to
be rude and ask the strangers name. By
and by all the guests departed and only
the unknown was left.

But fair ballot in North is al
