Tho Paris Executioner.

There has been considerable talk about Deibler's want of de1terity in dispatch ing Prado. After every execution we hear the same thing, for Deibler is a little, hesitating man, with anything but an impressive way of doing business. His appointment as executioner caused many heartburnings, for, when Hein- drichs died, there were 800 applications for the post. Deibler has married the daughter of Koch, the previous "Mon- sieur de Paris" He had also served as assistant to Hendricks, and had made several important improvements in the mechanism of the guillotine. Consider ing his familiarity with blood, he is a very nervous man, and he has never for gotten Tropman's biting off Heindrichs' fingers during the operation of adjusting the lunette. The fact is that it is very difficult in tilting the bascule to so work it that the neck of the condemned man falls exactly into the hollow of the lunette SO that the blade should strike in the right place; but Deibler was only 8 quarter of minute in fixing Prado, though, no doubt, it seemed much longer to the waiting crowd, and to Prado.- Paris Cor.

Extraordinary Canine Devotion.

The residence of Enoch McMahan, an old and highly esteemed farmer, near Ind, was burned. All the family, except the old man, were away at singing school at the time, and he perished in the flames, his half consumed body being dragged from the burning building with poles by the first persons to arrive after the fire was discovered. It has been question as to whether or not the old man was murdered and the house robbed and burned to conceal the crime. Leastwise, when the neighbors gathered they found Uncle Enoch's dog Mingo, bowling dismally about the burning building, and from that day to this the faithful animal has never left the place. The house was never rebuilt, and no one has since lived on the farm, yet "Mingo" fingers about the ruins and until recently slept in rain and snow. For months kind hearted people carried him food and water, and they built him 8 comfortable house on the spot where his master was burned, and like a hermit he stays there day and night, Respondent and melancholy.-Ind News.

Fuss Is All Right.

The cat has ever been regarded as a mysterious creature and has of a conse- quence been summed, as amateur swim mers avoid deep holes, by the youth of our land in their literary efforts. The dog and the horse are notoriously what are termed "old stand bys' as subjects fer composition, but it is noteworthy that the cat, though even more familiar to all than either of the aforementioned ami mals, is neglected in all Friday afternoon literature. The kitten is much beloved by reason of it's frivolous and gay nature. It's propensity to amuse itself with any light object or, in default of other mov- ables, it's own feeting tail endears it to all young persons, but there is an un- natural gravity and air of absorption in deep philosophical matters about the mature cat which is forbidding. not to say awe inspiring. tmay be that it's un- canny nature has caused it to be associ- ated with witches. Certainly it's habit of being out at all hours of the night gives color to the suspicion that it is baleful beast. A cat acts as if it knew that the disclosure of its secrets would result in death to all it's kind at the hands of an enraged humanity. Now there is some thing frank and open hearted about a dog. He may bite an enemy, but a cat will scratch it's dearest friend. A dog cannot keep secret. A cat never tells one.-Chicago Mail.

Flies and Wolves.

When visiting friend last summer he called my attention to a curious plan for preventing the plague of flies in his house. The upper sash of one of the windows in his sitting room being open for ventilation, there was suspended out side piece of common fishing net. My friend told me that not fly would ven- ture to pass through it. He has watched for an hour at time, and seen swarms fly to within few inches of the net and then, after buzzing about for little, de- part. He told me the flies would pass through the net if there was thorough ight-that is, another window in the opposite wall. Though the day was very warm, I did not see single fly in the room during my visit, though elsewhere in the town they were to be seen in abundance. I suppose they imagine the net to be spiders web, or some other trap intended for their destruction.
 My friend mentioned tho curious fact that in Russia no wolves will pass under telegraph wires, and that the govern ment are utilizing this valuable dis covery, and already clearing districts of the country from these brutes.-Notes and Queries.

CHAPTER XI.

Bebee was a dreamer in her way, and as pired to be a scholar, too. But allethe same, she was not little fool
 She had been reared in hardy, simple, honest ways of living, and would have thought 1t as shameful as a theft to have owed her bread to other folk.
 So, though she had wakeful, restless night, full of strange phantasies, none the less was she out in her garden by daybreak; none the less did she sweep out her floor and make her mash for the fowls, and wash out her bit of linen and hang it to dry on line among the tall, Haunting hoIlyhocks that were so proud of themselves because they reached to the roof.
 "What do you want with books, Bebee?' said Refine, tho sabot makers wife, across the privet hedge, as she also hung out her linen, Franz told me you were reading last night It is the silver buckles have done that; one mischief always begets another"
 "Where is the mischief, good Reine." said Bebee, who was always prettily behaved with her elders, though, when pushed to it, she could hold her own.
 ''The mischief will be in discontent.n said tho sabot makers wife. People 1.-Two on their own little patch, and think it is the world that is as it should be-everybody within his own, like nut in it's shell. But when you get reading, you hear of a swarm of things you never saw, and you fret because you can not see them, and you dream, and dream, and hole is burnt in your soup pot, and your dough is as heavy as lead. You are to buzz themselves dead against the glass of a hothouse."

Lonp Mining Tunnel.

! The longest mining tunnel in Montana has been begun at the Jay Gould, in Lewis and Clarke county. It is to be 4,30O feet long, extending directly into the mountain, and will involve an ex- penditure of $50, 900 and will require sixteen months for completion. It is being driven 500 feet below tho lower level, or over 1000 feet from the sur face. When this work shall have been completed an upraise will be made to connect with the main workings, which at present comprise 5000 feet of levels. The Jay Gould paid $a28, ,000 dividends last year.-Helena (Mont.) Cor. St. Louis Republic

but the drawings enticed and helped her, and she soon sank breathlessly into tho charm of the story. Many words she did not know; many passages were beyond her comprehen- sion; she was absolutely ignorant, and had nothing but the force of her own fancy to aid her.
 But though stumbling at every step, as a lame child through fowery hillside in sum- mer, she was happy as the child would be, because of the sweet, strange air that was blowing about her, aod the blossoms that she could gather into her hand, SO rare, so won derful, and yet withal so familiar, because they were blossoms

A Nynnph.

She stands a thing of beauty, passing fairl
 Around her head the struggling sunlight skins, And, oh, the beauty of her wet, brown hair,
 The lissome languor of her perfect limbs. would could describe her, standing there
 Above the dimpled pools white marble rim, Pausng with pretty, hesitating air
 Ere plunging in the pool to dive and swim. Breathless she rises, rosy the dawn
 Tho water from her hair she lightly hings. She is princess to the manner born;
 Like cerements her linen tunic clings. Lightly she walks into the sun kissed mist,
 And, bending OCT another nymph as fair, She gently strokes her shoulder arm and wrist
 And twines her fingers in her soft, damp hair Who can she be! And what may be her name'
 Who is this nymph who so much beauty hath? venus1 Or Helen of immortal fames
 No; an attendant in a Russian bath.

CHAPTER x.

The next day she had her promised book hidden under the vine leaves of her empty basket as she went homeward, and though she had not seen him very long or spoken to hin, very much, she was happy.
 The golden gates of knowledge had just opened to her; she saw faint, far off glimpse of the Hsperides gardens within; of the dragon she had never heard, and had no fear. Might know your nalnea" she had asked bud, and taken the volume in return that day.
 "They call mo Flamen."
 ''It is your namei'
 "Yes, for the world. You must call me Victor, as other women do. Why do you want my naneH
 "Jeannot asked it of me-"
 "Oh, Jeannot asked it, did hep
 "Yes; besides" said Bebee, with her eyes very soft and very serious and her happy voice hushed, besides, want to pray for you of course, every day; and if I do not know your name, how can make Our Lady rightly understand! The flowers know you without a name, but she might not, because so very many arc always beseeching her, and you see she has all the world to look after"
 He had looked at her with Q curious look, and had bade her farewell, and let her go home alone that night.
 Her work was quickly done, and by the light of the moon she spread her book on her lap in the porch of the hut and began her new delight.
 The children had come and pulled at her skirts and begged her to play. But Bebee had shaken her head.
 II am going to learn to be very wise, dear, :" she told them 'I shall net have time to dance or to play"
 But people are not merry when they are wise, Bebee," said Franz, the biggest boy.
 Perhaps not" said Bebeey"but one can not be everything, you know, Franz"
 "But surely you would rather be merry than anything elses"
 II think there is something better, Franz 1 am not sure; want to find out; will tell you when know"
 "Who has put that into your head, BebeeT
 "The angels in the cathedral" she told them; and the children were awed and left her, and went away to play blind mans bud by themselves on the grass by the swans water
 But for all that the angels have said it, said Franz to his sisters, "I cannot see what good it will be to her to be wise, if she will not care any longer afterwards for almond ginger bread and currant cake"
 It was the little tale of Paul and Vir .,inia" that he had given her to begin he, studies with, but 1t was grand copy, full oi beautiful drawings nearly at every page.
