around for the amusement of the children.
The little one in the stern who sat near the
gunwale fell into the water and Moody at once
sprang in after it.
A crowd of people rushed down the bank and
one OF them swain out to where the child was
struggling and brought it to the shore. The

The balloon which left Lowell, Mass, on the
Fourth under the command Of Prof. Allen and
carrying Miss Lottie E. Anderson and MIR.
Charles G. Stowell, who had just been married
by Rev. W. W. Downs Of Boston, on their we'd

near heaven as wedding bliss and hydrogen
gas could carry them Mr.. and Mrs. Stowell
were brought to a realizing sense of earthly
things by the balloon coming down between
two tall pines, where it had become wedged in.
As all the ballast had been expended it would
not rise. This was an awkward position for
the bride, who could not have readily reached
terra frma. But the bridegroom calamity
climbed out Of the basket and down to the
earth, and by doing SO he caused the balloon
to ascend from its entangle ment, and when il
again descended it was taken to q safe anchor

He Forbids His Congregation to Use
Them and Thereby Causes Trouble.

Rev. A. L. Reynolds, pastor of the Methodist
Protestant Church at Mechanicsburg, Ohio. has
caused commotion in his congregation. One
night last week, when the heat was almost un-
bearable, Rev. Mr.. Reynolds was preaching to
his congregation about a very profound theme.
The constant wave-like motion of the fans Of
the large audience disturbed the pastor. He
struggled to get the members interested. and.
not succeeding as he wished, finally broke out
irri.ably: 1.-THE members of the congregation
will stop tanning; it is not at all necessary.
Think OF icebergs, the north pole and polar
bears and look at me-
This remark caused general indignation. and
many OF those present got up and left the
church. At previous meetings the minister had
demonstrated against the tanning, doing SO in a
mild manner

CANNIBALISM IN THE SOUDAN.
Men,, Women and Children Put to
Death to Serve as Food.

Adviees have reached Cairo that the famine
which has for some time past prevailed in the
Soudan. is increasing rapidly. Thousands of
natives are without food of any kind, and the
reported number of deaths from starvation is
appalling. With the reports of this state Of
affairs come horrible stories Of cannibalism,
which is also said to be on the increase. 1t
was reported not long ago that the dead were
being eaten by the famished survivors. but the
latest adyices represent matters still worse
1t is now asserted that large numbers of men,
women and children are deliberately put to
death that they may serve as food for their
frenzied companions Relief has been extended
to these unhappy people, as far as possible, but
1t does not nearly meet their necessities.

One Of the dancers at the Court Theater in
Berlin was found dead in her bed She had
performed at the theater in the evening before,
and seemed in good health. At first it was
supposed that the girl had committed suicide
by taking poison, but post-mortem examine

heart action due to tight laeing. The liver of
the unfortunate young woman was horribly de-
formed and crushed out Of shape. Prof. Vir-

Some beer contained in bottles was lately
found walled up in the cellars Of brewery at
Burton-on-Trent This beer was brewed nearly
one hundred years ago, as the records of the
firm showed, and as was proved by the old
style Of the bottles. The beer was brilliant
and quite drinkable; but it had lost its bitter
ness and had assumed the character Of sherry.
