10 years Of age he was sent to his aunt
to carry her somo pindcrs to plant.
When he was going through tho
woods two strange black men seized
him end bound his hands. IIo cried
terribly and they soon gagged him.
They sold him to native, who took
him to Liberia. There, for tho first
time in his life, nc saw white man,
and he was terribly frightened at
him.
Umwalla was then taken to the
Wandcrcr, where Il large number of
captivcs had already been stored away
in the hold.
When the Wandcrcr approached the
South Carolina coast she was sighted
by government boat and given
chase. During tho night she dioppcd

A Veil's Flight.

Mrs. M. NJ. Hall, of Clinton, Ia,
who has recently been here visiting
her sister, Mrs. w. II. Wilder, met
with q remarkable experience at Roch-
ester last week She was the guest Of
q friend, Mrs. Page, of that city, whose
husband conducts harness business
there. Among other places the ladies
visited was Powers art gallery and
the tower. While at the-latter place
Mrs. Halls veil became detached from
her hat and n slight breeze quickly
waited it over the railing and out of
reach. Down it went toward the Main
street walk, 100 feet below. The ladies
stood and watched its slow and waver-
ing descent until it had nearly reached
the pavement. Suddenly it struck an
other current Of air and was borne
upward again. The ladies watched its
graceful movements curiously and be-
came more and more interested as the
airy fabric slowly travelled back in al
most the same route it had taken In Its
descent, and their surprise knew no
bounds when the veil actually re-
turned to tho tower and settled down
fairly and squarely on the owners
head. Mrs. Hall declares this to be
the fact, and those who met the lady
here certainly have no reason to doubt
her word.-Caledoni Advertiser.

a Check to Civilization.

Sexual selection, which has doubtless
greatly influenced the development
and advancement of certain races, has
been imperative in China during
many centuries, because, under the the
prevailing usages, the contracting par
ties have, before espousal, no oppor-
tunity to judge of the strength, beauty
or intelligence of their consorts. Ro-
mantle love has no part in marriage
or its issue. This may bo ono of the
causes of China's arrested civilization,
and Of tho astonishing fact that her
astute people have invented nothing
and discovered nothing during hum
dreds Of years. .-Adcle M. Fielde in
Popular Science Monthly.

Tho Increase of I}nIdness.

1t is curious how caducity has in
creased, and tho prevalence Of it taken
away the old reproach. All tho argu-
ments arc against its existence, and
all the facts provo that the arguments
are misleading. People lead healthier
lives now than they used to do, and
yet they are baldcr. People lead
longer lives, and yet they grow bald
earlier, and, morevcr, it is the
hcalthicst people who are often
tho baldost. Indeed, it almost be-
comes a question whether in
these days badness is evidence to a
very reliable extent either of ogo or of
delicacy. OF the decay of vital power
it Is certainly no conclusive proof.
,Consumptivo patients and persons suf-
fering from lingering Idiseasc are not,
as n rule, bald, and more frequently
than otherwise seem TO put q great
deal of strength into their hair.-Lon-

Tho Africans Propose to Turn tho Nirs
from Its Course.
The warlike Soudanese, who have
so stoutly resisted the introduction of
civilization into their land, are now
found, according to Sir Samuel Baker,
to be masters of the situation to q de,
gree for which even the fall Of KhaIS
toum has not prepared the outside
world. They hold the key of the Nile,
and prudent and thoughtful men wlp
know the geography Of the Soudnh
and the resources and recklessness q
the natives believe that that they arc
capable of turning that great river out
of its present course and bringing ire
trievable ruin upon Egypt. 1t appears
that in the inaccessible Businesses of
the desert, where the bayonets Of
Europe cannot reach, there is spot
where even savage African engineer
ing will suffice to find the Nile short
cut to tho sea, and they have already
threatened their enemies with this dis
aSter.
If the work is .done q fertile land
nearly equal in extent to the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
will be changed into O desert and a
population Of millions will be blotted
out of country that is the Oldest III
history. No such gigantic menace has
ever before been held out in the annals
of the world, and never before has it
been SO possible that grave threat
would be fatally carried out.
1t is figure of speech when we
talk about the nations changing the
map of Europe; the wild spearsmen of
the Soudan have it in the hollow of
their hands to alter in fact and deed
the map of Africa. They can, if they
please, we are told, spread the Sahara
like great yellow pail fully across
the continent from sea to sea. They
can build rampant of sand
against progress that progress can
not cross. Such tremendous power,
such O. mischievous possibility,
gives an interest to the Egyptian prob
lem that brings it homo to every
nation. The pyramids have stood
since the morning of time; empires
and dynasties have risen and have
fallen, and they have not been stirred
Yet the ignorant savages in the desert
are their masters and can bring the
sand upon them to bury them as the
temple of Jupiter Ammon and ths
Sphinx itself were buried. If tEs
savage wills the sacrifice, flood as
fatal as that in which Pharaoh
perished can sweep Egypt out of eXis
,tencc, slowly, perhaps, but surely. II
is tho land Of tombs and memories, tho
worlds graveyard; perhaps it is time
that it should be inferred itself. Civi
llization waits upon the Soudanese. i
is for them to say.-Chicago News.

At Rover's Grave.

The pet dog of Mrs. Samuel Wilmot
died Monday, plunging the household
into deep sorrow. Some heartless in
dividuaI had administered dose of
poison. Tho funeral occurred this
morning and was attended by the fam
lily and few friends.
Tho casket was lined with white
satin and covered outside with purple
velvet. The remains looked perfectly
natural and peaceful. Tho ihterment
was in tho family's private lot.
The members of the family stood
weeping around the grave, while what
remained of Rover was laid at rest.
Some of the floral offerings were
expensive and unique, one being dog
kennel of roses tipped with sprays Of
dog fennel. nel.-Bridgeport Conn., Cor.

Gocthe's Digestive Capacity.

According to the bills Of fare preserved
in the city archives at jena, Goethe was
in the habit of dining exceedingly well.
He also liked company at dinner, for,
during the period covered by tho bills
wheD ho had not one guest with him, he
had three. He always had four courses,
and sometimes more, the dishes of his
choice being such as roast beef and roast
pork on the same day; soups with dump
ling, and sirloin with anchovy sauce,
with roasted pigeons and roast mutton
to follow, the dinner rather of glutton
than of poet. For week and moro
he dined in this fashion, the bill OF
coming to n little more than G3.

THE FOOLS PRAYER.

Sought out some new sport 70 banish care.
And to his jester cried: 'Sir Fool.
Kneel now, and make for us prayerT'
The Jester dofYed his cap and bef@,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not SEQ the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore
He bowed his head and bent his knce
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord,
Be merciful to me. fooli
mo pity, Lord, could change tho heart
From red with wrong to white as wool
The rod must heal tho sin; but Lord,
Be merciful to me. fool
"rTis not by guilt tho onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we stay;
-Tis by our follies that 30 long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
These clumsy feet, still In the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard. well meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings Of friend
THE Ill timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp 1t pierced and stungf
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly 1t had rnngf
"Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them oh
But for our blunders-O, in shame
Before tho eyes OF heaven we fall
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knavo and scourge the tool
That did his will but thou, o Lord,
Be merciful to me, n fool"
The room was hushed; in silence rose
Tho King, and sought the gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low,
"Be merciful to me, fool"
