Ore bright spring morning few weeks
later, before the sun had fairly risen over
the eastern heights, Hugh might have been
seen, grip in hand and whistIing softly,
walking leisurely towards quiet, pleasant
farm house of the New England stamp,
which was half concealed in thick and lux
uriant shrubbery. Spriug-time had burst
forth with its quota of loneliness, and the
air was sweet with tho perfume of cherry,
plum and apple blossoms. The lowing OF
the cattle, the growing of the cocks were
heard, and now and then the sound of dis
tant breakfast-bell. As Hugh drew nearer
the fragrant odor of coffee and frying ham
greeted his oletactories, sharpening an ap-
petite already made keen by fatigue and
travel. A Newfoundland pup frisking about
the gateway made friendly advances to-
wards the stranger, and at the door he was
met by Mrs. Warrin, comely, matronly
woman, who conducted him at once to
large, airy apartment, overlooking the blue
hills and rolling meadow lands. After re-
calling himself with bath and fresh linen
he descended the broad oaken stairs, where

Baron Muncl,auscn Abroad.

A native newspaper published ut
Bitlis, i'll Asiatic Turkey, narratcs
the following remarkable story:
Three Mussclman travellers were In to-
ly iourneying to Poulank. On ar-
irving ut spot called Ahlat on the
Lake of Van one ofthem approached
the water and began his ablutions.
As he was dipping his feet into the
lake he uttered scream. His leg
had been seized in the jaw of % ma
riLe monster, which was dragging
him into the water.
His companion ran to his assis-
lance, and, taking him by the hands,
they succeeded in bringing him
ashore; but what was their surprise
when they snw the monster also
emerge from the water, firmly at
tached by the teeth to the calf OF his
leg. Knives, sticks, and everything
else that was brought to bear upon
the monstcr proved unavailing, and
at last the ingenious travellers be-
thought themselves of a heroic meas
ure. They lighted n good fire, and
on it the inv of the obstinate animal
holding the mans leg was placed,
the companions of the victim, who
was yelling with pain all the while,
standing near to watch the result.
The heat apparently reused the
animal from its torpor; it began to
move it's body, and suddenly flew
into the air, still holding the man by
the leg. After flying up to IL height
ofabout forty yards it directed it's
course toward the lake, in which it
plunged with a mighty splash, bury
ing its victim in the depths of the
water.

A Stupid Bigamlst.


stupidity" was admitted in one
of the Berlin law courts as an ex-
tenuating circumstance in case of
bigamy. The defendant. a Pole, had
married some years ago a native of
his own village, who had borne him
four children. The greater part o
the year he was absent from home,
like many Polish workmen, working
elsewhere. In the winter when he was
at home, his better half mingled with
her caresses bitterreproacles because
he did not earn SO much as his CON-
rades. AS this kind of welcome re-
peated itself every year, the little
reason that he is now judged to pos
sess suggested to him that it was
more prudent to quit his home for
over. He came to Berlin, and here
also his want Of common sense made
him yield to the temptation to get
married again. When sunmoned be-
fore the court the Judge duly ex-
planned to him the enormity of the
crime of bigamy, remindingh him that
We were not living in Turkey. His
legal and geographical knowledge
could not bring the matter home to
him, and he excused himself on
the ground that, as he had not seen
his wife for four years, he did not
consider there was any harm in
marrying Il second time. The public
prosecutor asked that the defendant
should be sentenced to two years.
imprisonment with hard labor, but
the Judge wisely took n lenient view
OF the case, announcing that tho
boundless stupidity of the prisoner
was an eXtenuating circumstance.
and therefore he would only sentence
him to Imprisonment for one year
and Al half.-London Telegraph.

A Good Way to Buy Spongcs.

"Say, how much is this spongc?"
called a man in Perry's drug store
yesterday to one of the clerks, ut the
same time holding up a good-sized
sponge which lie had picked out of a
basketiul. The clerk was behind the
counter busying himself with some.
thing, and he surveyed the sponge
critically from u distance and then
answered.:
"Sevcnty-five conts."
The man dived in the basket again
and pretty soon held up u smaller
sponge for tho clerk to see.
allow much is this onew he asked.
ooh, 60 CENTS" said the clerk.
Again the man fislled around in the
basket. In few moments he held up
a sponge smaller than either of the
others.
"How much for this one?" he in.
quired.
"You can have that one for As
CENTS" said the clerk, as he sized it
up.
Then there was q roar of laughter
from the would be sponge purchaser
and two men who had been watching
him. The clerk looked mystifed for
moment. Thenhs discovered what
they were laughing ut. The man
had been holding up thes same sponge
each time. BY squeezing it he had
diminished it's size. If he had had
enough strength in his hand and
could have kept his face straight he
would have run the price of that
sponge down to Is cents before the
clerk saw through the game.-New

her to do SO. The natural benefit So

copied to some extent by working

the old line companies thinking.
Formerly all tliesccompanies refused

poses him.

The Fate of the Horse.
,w York World

New York World.
Thcopinion has been expressed that
before very many years the horse will
have become an extinct species OF
animal. The effect OF the Walker
street cnr-motor law will probably
he to strengthen what little belief
there may he in this prophecy.
Steam has alren1y done much to
supplnnt the iorse as the service of
man, anu is on the road to doing
much more in that direction. Flee.
tricity is also being made IL substi-
tute in some respects. Should all the
street-car lines in he city under the
operations of the new law gradually
dispense with the USE of horses it
would diminish the number of those
animals here by more than fifty per
cent. The day OF road wagons driven
by stored power is not tar off in all
probability, andeven on farms steam
has begun to replace horse. power.
But, without looking so fur ahead,
it can be seen that the discontinu.
