Llsk each put bullet into the pros-
trate brute, but without eliciting even
kick-the job had been neatly aud
expediliously done by Mrs. Cameron.
The two cubs, about six weeks old,

Rebuked by a Baby King.

Here is an old story in new dress. 1t
is told by Paris writer for the Phila-
delphia Telegraph:
There come from Spain the most cheer
ing accounts of the health of the child
sovereign Alfonso XIII. He is growing
fast, is once more strong and lively, and,
in fact, gives no end of trouble to his
mother and his governess by his exuber-
ant spirit and head over heels ways.
Just now he is enjoying the baths and
sea breezes of the lovely seaside resort of
Concha, and whenever his small majesty
makes his appearance in front of the
royal bath house he is saluted on all sides
with cries of Long live the kingW
A comical story is told concerning his
behavior in church. He has been often
reproved for laughing and talking loudly
during divine service, and has become
quite exemplary in those respects. A few
Sundays ago he accompanied his mother
to the service at the church at Concha.
The priest whose duty it was to preach
the sermon was a stalwart and energetic
ecclesiastic, and he got excited by his
own eloquence, and banged the pulpit
cushion and shouted out his denunciation
of the wicked in very vehement style.
At the first pause there came from the
royal pew little piping voice, remark
ing shrilly, 'Look here, man, don't you
know it is very wrong to talk out loud
| in church?"

The Nimble Swiss Cow.

Its cows and goats are the pride of the
Prattigau, in Switzerland. No people
in Europe is so rich in them. Each has
her bell fastened by broad strap and
great brass buckle, in whose size the
owner glories as our ancestors in their
shoe buckles. These bells are carefully
chosen; each has different tone, and SO
serves to identify the animal, as well as
to trace it should it strsy, The tinkling
of the bells as the herds come down
from the mountain pastures in the late
afternoon has never-failing poetic
charm, and no doubt many wanderer
in the painless uplands has been led by
their sound, as l have, to the hospitable
Sennhutte, and guide.

She will find the shortest way to get any

Only One Chinaman in the Late
War.

E. D. Cahota visited Libby Prison
War Museum few days ago and inspec
ted the curious relics of the war. Mr..
Cahota is a native born Chinaman. He
has lived in this country nearly forty
years, having left the land of his birth
when only six years old. Long before
the Chinese Exclusion law was dreamt of
he had proved his fitness for the duties
of American citizenship by taking up
arms in defence of his adopted country
and marching to the front. Although
but fifteen years old when the war broke
out, he declared that he was over age and
enlisted in the Twenty third Massachu-
sets Volunteers, under command OF
Colonel Andrew Ellwood--the only rep
resentative of the Mongolian race among
the millions of men thus facing each
other in struggle for life and death.
Cahota was an unique character. Un-
der fire Cahota proved that he was made
of the stern stuff, for his bravery was
commented on during various engage
ments, notably at Cold Harbor and in
the building of General Buffers signal
station in front of Petersburg. At the
close of the war Cahota was mustered
out along with the survivors of the regi-
ment, then under command of Colonel
Raymond, of Marblehead. Since that
time Mr.. Cahota has devoted himself tC
business, there being little in common
between him and the ordinary Chinamar
beyond certain race characteristics ot
feature. In speech and dress he is al
ordinary citizen. Chicago Herald.

The Story of an Old Bible.

In the summer of 1854, while the Union
army was lying in, front of Petersburg,
Va, D. G. Reinohl, now patent attor-
ney in this city, was stationed at City
Point. He found, in disabled ambu-
lance, an old family Bible, in which was
genealogical tree of the Hatcher fam
lily. For years Mr.. Reinohl has been
trying to locate the owners of the vol
ume and on September 13 last he wrote
to friend in Virginia to assist him in
his search. That letter was published in
Virginia paper and this morning Mr..
Reinohl received a reply from Thomas G.
Hatcher, of Chester Post Office, Chester
field county, Virginia. Mr.. Hatcher gives
an accurate description of the Bible In
question and says it was lost in May,
1864, when Gen. Butler attempted to
march from the Bermuda Hundred to
Richmond. Itwas taken from the Half
way House between Richmond and
Petersburg.
This morning the oil Bible, with the
history Of the Hatcher family for several
generations, was started homeward by
express, after having been in the posses
sion of Mr.. Reinohl for twenty-six years.
Mr.. Reinohl has also written letter to
Mr.. Hatcher expressing his delight at
being able to return him his long lost
copy of the Scriptures. Washington

A Wonderful d scovery.

One of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that has been made within the
last year or two is the fact that u beam
of light produces sound. A beam of
sunlight is thrown through a lens on a
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or other sub
stances. A disk having sits or openings
cut in it is made to revolve swiftly in
this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus
making alternate flashes of light and
shadow. On putting the ear to the glass
vessel strange sounds are heard so long
as the flashing beam is falling on tho
vessel.
Recently more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight is
made TO pass through prism, so rs to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum or rainbow. The disk is turned,
and the colored light of the rainbow is
made to break through it. Now place
the ear to the vessel containing the silk,
wool or other material. As the colored
lights of the spectrum fall upon it,
sounds will be given by different parts
of the spectrum, and there will be silence
in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains
red worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard when
the red and blue parts of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no sound at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light. Every kind of
material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others.
The discovery Is strange one and it
is thought more wonderful things will
come from it. Golden Days.

PREPARING FOR THE TRAGEDY.

PREPARING FOX THE TbAGEDfs
Mildred Lester and her devoted friend
and constant companion, Clara Denton,
did not spend all their time in New
York Scarcely week passed during
which they did not visit Clara's home in
Roxbury for day, at least, and often
times when they returned to the city,
Edith Denton, who was rapidly develop
ing into a lovely young woman, would
accompany them.
The great specialist was assiduous in
his attentions on Mildred. and almost at
every visit emphatcally declared that the
time was now close at hand when all
that she had ever lost would be restored
! to her.
Thus far the past had come back to her
gradually, but in the doctors opinion
the complete restoration of her faculties
would be instantaneous, and probably
brought about by some great and sudden
! shock.
Warren Leland, who had now attained
the object OF his ambition and was a
member of Congress, was indefatigable
in his attent ons to the two ladies'.
Whether they were in New York or Rox-
bury, he too was there, and at last the
! devoted Clara ID the desire of her soul
|
ferred to Mildred, and abruptly, one even
inc. he asked her to be his wife, and was
accepted.
Strange as it may seem, while he yet
retained the warmest regard for Clara
Denton, he almost idolized Mildred-felt
| for her q love, passion, which even the
beautiful and royal Clara had never in
suired, and he could not bear to be absent
| Fropo bar sida ayan for q dAV
Under these circumstances he urged
that the marriage should take place with
the least possible delay, and after some
delit Grafton an early day was set, and
preparations for the interesting event
were begun in earnest.
And now Edith became very lmpor'

quired by her mother and Mildred from
early dawn till latest eve. Everybody
called upon her for assistance. She be-

More than once in her excursions sht
had met lovely young lady, severa
years her senior, but with the sweates
yet sadest face, she thought she had eve

One day, in Marcey's she saw this lad.
in conversation with the physician wh'
attended Mildred, and at once intimate(
to him that she should like an introduc
ton.
He responded promptly.

vaseline as a Shoe Cleaner.

It is not generally known that the
easiest way to clean shoes or rubber over
shoes which have become muddy is with
vaseline. A little ''swab" of flannel on
the end of a stick is good for this pur-
pose. Even if the vaseline touches the
hands, it forms a coating over them 50
that the task is not so unpleasant as il
otherwise would be. Such dressing as
this is sufficient for some fine kid shoes,
but Others may need coat of polish. II

and it lasts much longer. Rubber over
shoes, especially, look much better and
lass much longer if cleaned in this wa!
than if they are washed with water.
