Calm I'm the Face OF Death.

A tradesman of Lyons, in France,
of the name Of Grivet, q man of mild
and simple manners, was sentenced
during the French revolution, with a
number of others, to die next morn
ing Those who were already in the
cave pressed around the newcomer to
sympathize with and to fortify him.
But Grivet had no need of cQnsola-
ton; he was as calm as if he had been
in his own house. "Come and sup
with us" said they; ''this is the last
inn in the journey of life; tomorrow
we shall arrive at our long home. "
Grivet accepted the invitation and
supped heartily. DESTROYS to sleep as
well, he retired to the remotest corner
of the cave, and, burying himself in
his straw, seemed not TO bestow a
thought on his approaching fate.
The morning arrived. The other
prisoners were tied together and led
away without Grivet's perceiving
anything or being perceived. Fast
asleep, enveloped in his straw, he
neither saw nor was seen. The door
of the cave was locked, and when he
awoke, after awhile, he was in the ut
most establishment to find himself in
perfect solitude The day passed and
NO new prisoners were brought into
the cave. The judges did not sit for
two days. Grivet remained all this
time in his solitude, subsisting on
some scattered provisions which he
found in the cave, and sleeping every
night with the same tranquility as on
the first. On the evening of the
fourth day the turnkey brought in a
new prisoner, and became as one
thunderstruck, on seeing a man, or, rs
he almost believed, a spirit. in the
cave.
He called the sentinel, who instantly
appeared. "Who are you" said he to
Grivet, land how came you hereg'
Grivet answered that he had been
there four days. Doubtless" he
added, when my companions in
misfortune were led away to death !
slept and heard nothing, and no one
thought to awaken me. 1t was my mis-
fortune, since all would now have
been past, whereas l have now lived
with the prospect of death always be-
fore me; but the misfortune now will
undoubtedly 6e repaired and / shall
die"
Grivet was summoned before the
tribunal. He was ipterrogated anew.
1t was moment of leniency with the
judges, and he was set at liberty. -

Stirring Up Strife.

One morning, says traveller in
Java, was standing beside small
lake fed by one of the rills from the
mountains Stretching its limbs over
this pond was gigantic teak tree, and
in its thick, shining, evergreen leaves
lay huge boa, in an easy coil, evi-
IDENTIFY taking his morning nap.
Above him was a powerful ape of the
baboon species "a leering race of
scamps, always bent on mischief.
The ape, from his position, saw a
crocodile rise to the surface of the
water, just beneath the teak limb
where lay the serpent Quick as
thought he jumped plump upon the
boa, which fell with splash into the
water just in front of the crocodile
The ape saved himself by clinging to
the limb of the tree; but q battle royal
Immediately began in the water.
The crocodile had fixed its jaws in
the snake, which made the water boil
by its furious contortions. Winding
its folds round and round the body of
his antagonist, the boa disabled it's
hinder legs, and by his contractions
made the scales and bones of his
enemy crack.
Over and over the combatants roll
ed, neither being able to obtain a de-
cided advantage.
All this time the cause of the mis-
chief was in high glee. He leaped up
and down the branches, came several
times close to the scene of the fight,
uttered yell, and again frisked away.
Perhaps ten minutes passed, and the
noise of the conflict began to fade into
silence. The folds of the serpent were
relaxing, and though they trcmbled
along the back, the head hung life
less in the water. The crocodile, also.
was dead.
The monkey now perched on low
limb just above the dead bodies of his
two foes, and amused himself by max
ing faces at them. This seemed to be
adding insult to injury. picked up
a stone from the edge of the lake and
hurled it at the ape. 1t struck him on
the head and down he fell, upon the
crocodile's body. He was up again in
a moment, and sprang into the teak
tree, where he disappeared among the
thick branches.-Youths' Companion.

James Miller.

Writing of James Miller reminds
one that the first martyr of what is
now Somerville, contributed to the
cause of liberty in 1775, was named
James Miller. 1t was on the day of
the Concord fight The British were
retreating pell nell 70 Boston. Their
line of march lay through what is
now Washington street, Somerville.
A few rods west of the corner of that
street and Medford street, and just at
the base of glorious old Prospect hill
-whereon the first stars and stripes
ever flung to the breeze was raised,
according to some historians-Miller,
man 20 years of age, by the way,
took his place behind stone wall
with farmer neighbor and began to
blaze away at the passing redcoats.
The fire getting too hot for safety,
the officer in command of the British
troops sent back platoon to dislodge
the plucky Americans.
Come, James, il is time for us to
CO." said Miller's companion, prepar-
ing to retreat.

THE NATIVES OF SAMOA.
A Curious Race of Mahogany Colored
People of AmphfbIous Habits.

Curious Race of Mahogany CoIored
People of AmphibIous Habits.
Cor. Boston Times.1
The natives of the Samoan Islands are a
fine race of people, not quite so gentle look
ing as the Sandwich Islanders, but beauti-
fully formed and with a nobility of carriage
that would teach an actor valuable lesson
in stage bearing. Their color is a bright
mahogany; their features are regular and
often really handsome. The men in some
cases were tall. and generally such perfect
types of manhood as to cause us TO wonder
why poor civilized people couldn't be blessed
with the same fine physique. We seldom
have so much symmetry, for some reason.
These islanders are not notable for extensive
dressing; one yard of cotton cloth would
make an elegant costume for either man or
woman.
The men are like fish, the water being as
natural an element as the air. Thev dive
in and tumble about quite regardless of
their draperies. The little boys made lots
of amusement for us by diving into the
water after money which the passengers
threw out to them, and it was remarkable
with what accuracy the little beggars would
grab the coins in their mouths, although
several feet below the surface and entirely
out of sight. But they would come up
every time with the money between their
cleaning white teeth and shout for more.
Their hair is black and fine, and curly, and
the women have curious fashion, not un-
like their more civilized sisters, of tinging
the ends OF the hair with bleaching prepa-
ration made of cocoanut oil, burning it sort
of golden color which is rather becoming
sthan otherwise.

1t was Saturday morning, and Patty was In
the kitchen mixing her dough for the morn
ing's baking, when who should call but her be
loved Jason? 1t put Patty in no amicable mood
to receive call even from him at that time OF

Jason meekly did as he was hidden, and sat
demurely with his thumbs in his vest pockets,
bis right foot crossed over his left leg. and his
left foot on the side round of his chair.

front of the kitchen range, filled with shapely
masses of unbaked bread that would an hour
or SO later be taken from the oven, their light
and snowy masses paying tribute to Patty's

THE SPEED OF THOUGHT.
How Long 1t Takes for an Idea TO Reach
the Brain.

How Long IL Takes Tor an 1dea to Reach
the Brain.
Some of the readers have no doubt fire.
quently made use of the expression "quick
as thought" but have any of them ever
stopped to consider how quick thought is?
A writer in the Nineteenth Century has
made some interesting calculations regard
ing the comparative length of time it takes
to call to mind various everyday facts
1t takes about two-ffths of a second to
call to mind the country in which we'll
known town is situated, or the language in
which a familiar author wrote We can
think of the name of next month in half
the time we need to think OF the name of
last month. 1t takes on the average one
third of a second to add numbers consist
ing of one digit, and half second to multi
ply them. Such experiments give us con-
siderable insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two to
three in less time than others; those
familiar with literature can remember more
quickly than others that Shakespeare wrote
Hamlet" 1t takes longer to mention
month when a season has been given than
to say to what month season belongs.
The time taken up in choosing motion,
the will time, can be measured as well as
the time taken up In perceiving. If I do not
know which of two colored lights is to be
presented, and must lift my right hand it it
be red and my left if it be blue, 1 need about
one-thirteenth of a second to initiate the
correct motion. 1 have also been able to
register the sound waves made in the air by
speaking, and thus have determined that in
order to call up the name belonging to a
printed word 1 need about one-ninth of q
second, to letter one-sixth of second, to a
picture one-quarter of second, and to
color one-third of second.
A letter can be seen more quickly than
word, but we are SO used to reading aloud
that the process has become quite automatic,
and word can be read with greater ease
and in less time than letter can be named.
The same experiments made on other per-
sons give times differing but little from my
own. Mental processes, however, take place
more slowly in children, in the aged and in
the uneducated.

very little use for this world now. Til.
pleasures of this life are not the same to m,
as they used to be. don't take much inter
est in them. All want is to have little
room where I can rest my weary bones until
the day comes for me to die. Now what ]
want to do is this: 1 will give you the mill
and everything belonging to it, and you can
work it for all it is worth and all the profit
shall be yours. All want you to promise
me is to keep me for the rest of my days.
Are you satisfied with that?
John, the eldest, bowed his head as sign
of agreement, but Felix, the younger boy,
said:
Father, the mill is hardly large enough
for John and me, and 1 don't think that
we could make much of fortune for both
of us, so 1 am going to make John propo-
sition. am going away to seek my fortune
in some other country, and il he promises
me faithfully to treat YOU well to the end OF
YOUR davs, will give him my share OF the
mill. But if he does not and L hear oil IL
when return, then he must give up to me
the whole mill, and will punish him into
the bargain. What do you say to that
John?"
i
we'll after father; believe me, 1 will do my
best, and if father should still live when
YOU return, he will say so himself.
"All right, " replied Felix, 81 believe you
nv brother, and your assurance makes 1t all
the lighter for me to go away, because
know that father is well taken care OF.
The next morning saw Felix turn his
back upon the old mill. He was young
fellow, who was fond of adventure. and his
heart had always delighted in brave deeds of
warriors and heroes. 1t was his dearest
wish to see something of the world himself,
and on that account the quiet, uneventtul
existence in the old mill did not suit him
very well. He wanted to go away, because
his excitable nature could not rest in con-
tentment with nothing else to cheer him ex-
cept the ciatter of the old rickety mill
wheel. He had no clear idea as to what he
would do when he got among strangers and
into strange places, but he had heart full
of hope for a bright future, and he was
fully confident that something would turn
up in his favor wherever he went
So it happened that he travelled through
