DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES Some
time ago In our neighboriug town Of Gull

night whsa they were about to dsband they
found the door 60 seoufely fastened from
the outside that it could not be opened from
within, 80 one Of the young men got out OF
an upper window and reached the ground
by sliding down the iron bars of an awning,
and then upfastened the DOOR
The next night the dancing school met
the floor OF the ball was spread with red
pepper, and the room was filled with smoke.
They tried to get out, but this time the door
was securely screwed up,and when, as before,
one of the young men got out on the avn
log he found it smeared with tar, and those
who attempted to escape in this way got
their clothes literally ruined. Ia the mean
while the smoke and red pepper were play
ing destruction with the ladies within. just
as some of them were on the verge OF faint,
ing, some from the effect of the smoke and
pepper and others from fright, supposing the
building was on fire, the ecre~s were re-
moved from the door and they left the holld'
ing in sefety. The smoke was occasioned oy
a blanket being tied over the chimney =

cense. At4 o'clock the next Sunday morn
Ing the girl returned to her home rsving
maniac, having walked all the way through
the night and storm from Trogler's house,
ten miles distant. In her lucid Intervals
she told that instead of marrying her frog
Ter had taken her to bis home aud kept her
there all the week, so that she lost her
mind over shame at her situation. Her
mothers mind also became unbalanced. On
Friday the father and son armed themselves
and went to Trogler's house, where, at the
points of revolvers, they compelled frog
Ter to promise reparation and the party
went to Mercersburg, so that Trogler could
draw money out of the bank. On arriving
there Trogler had the Rebucks arrested for
attempted abduction and false arrest.

CHANGING ITS CLOTHES.
The Amusing Way In Which Q Toad Re
moves His Skin.

moves HIS Skins
It is safe to- say but few people have
ever been fortunate enough to catch a
toad in the act of changing its skin.
A man who processes to have been an
interested eyewitness to such transac-
ton describes the novel operation as
follows: l observed him pressing his
elbows against his sides and rubbing
downwards. His movements seemed 80
singular that l resolved to find out II
possible what he was up to. After few
smart rubs his skin began to burst open
along his back. "Now," said /. ''old fel.
low, you have done it," but he appeared
to be unconcerned and kept on rubbing
until he had worked his skin into folds
on his sides and hips; then, grasping one
hind leg with his fore-paws, he pulled
the skin from the leg as slick as man
would remove . pair of pants; then
stripped the other hind leg in the same
way. He next took the cast-off portion
of his cuticle and pulled it forward be-
tween his forelegs until he could catch
it In his mouth, whereupon he forthwith
began to swallow it; then, by raising
and lowering his head, swallowing q
the head bent forward each time, he
stripped of the skin underneath until il
came to his fore legs. At this stage Of
the curious proceeding he grasped one
of the forelegs with the opposite paw,
and by much pulling stripped of the
skin; changing hands, he stripped the
other, and by a slight motion Of the
head, all the time swallowing, he drew
it from the neck and swallowed the
whole. The entire operation occupied
but a few minutes OF time.-St. Loui1

Covered with the Mummified Bodies o
Men Slain Ten Years Ago. "a,


Captain Thompson Of the schooner
Challenger has Just returned from
long cruise in the Sea and along the
South American coast. He had in his
possession a little black earthenware
jar which was taken, with valuable jewell
ry, from the tomb Of one Of the, Peruvian
Incas, near Pisagua. No tinted pottery
Is made by modern Peruyians, and it is
estimated that'this jar was!made in the
time of Cortez. The Captain also secured
one Of the Inca's teeth. He visited the
battlefield Of Tarapaca, where the Chill
lians and 'Peruvians met November II,
1879, and the Peruvians, after losing
1000 men, were forced to retreat, leav-
ing their dead unburied.

no wild animals and the bodies remained
undisturbed by them. The soil, too, is
strongly impregnated with nitrate Of
soda, and this, in connection with the
hot, dry atmosphere, has converted mer
and horses into perfect mummies. Seer
