He Wears the Scar To-day.

DO YOU see that tall man standing
there?n asked the colonel. Notice
how he brushes his hair forward on
the sides. as some Englishmen do.
One of these locks hides a scar which
bears eloquent testimony as to a mar
row escape from death.
Thirty years ago he was a deputy
marshal in Nevada. He started out
one day to arrest a notorious gambler
who had killed a man over a game oil
cards. The gambler knew that the
marshal was seeking him, but with u
cool efIrontery walked about the
streets ali day. W that is the dep
uty marshal heard that the man he
wanted was in the well-known bar
room. He set out for the place and
carelessly walked boldly into the
room. He had not crossed the
threshold before he found himself
looking into the barrel Of a six
shooter.
"'Come, Hardy, he said, coolly,
this won't do. I've come to get you
and / want you
See here, John, said the.gambler,
L don't want to kill you, but / won't
let any man arrest me. Go away and
let me alone.
"'No, | want you said the mar
shal quietly. Put down the six
shooter and come with me-
"I'll see you shot first, said Har-
dy.
~ can't help that said the other.
Il must have you. Now you have the
drop on me, but you must come with
me or kill NE in cold blood
az don't want to kill you, said
Hardy.
Then put down your gun.
"John, / won't be arrested. Don't
touch me. ! don't want TO shoot
man without cause.
I've got to do it Hardy
See here, said the gambler, turn
ing white, if you move a foot Ill Kill
YOU. But ! hate to be coward. That
was fair and square last night. We
both pulled together
"The marshal shook his head.
I'm do one thing, John, Hardy
went on. III back up to that wall.
You back up to the other. I'll drop
nv revolver to my hip and you can
draw yours. Then it's the best
man
'The marshal moved backward 10
the wall and Hardy did the same.
Then the marshal drew his revolver
and held it at his side, muzzle down.
All this time Hardy had kept his
weapon leveled at the marshal.
Slowly his arm sank, until his revol-
yer touched the seam of his trousers
Both men were perfectly calm and
immoyable, the marshal determined
looking, the gambler still pale.
".Now, John said Hardy. In
stantly both weapons went mp. Ii
was all over so quickly that both men
were on the floor together But
Hardy had fred too soon; his ball
went at an angle and grazed the
marshals temple. But the marshal
had sent his bullet straight on line
to Hardy's heart, and there was no
need to arrest the gambler

Farmer Bowers folded the letter

Farmer Bowers folded the letter
and turned to look at his daughter;
but her place was vacant. Up in her
room she was kneeling by the bed,
her face buried in the counterpane,
and glad tears falling like rain over
her cheeks.
Supper was late that night, for
neither the hour nor his fatigue could
restrain Mr.. Bowers from going at
once down to the village TO see aud
bring back their benefactor.
Eddie went with him, and Millie
and her mother had a good comfor-
table cry in each others arms before
they got back.
After tea the story of those four
years was told; and when, at late
hour, Geo. Stanhope prepared to take
his leave, he drew Millie close TO the
door and took her in his arms under
the light of the beautiful harvest
moon.
Il told you if | ever came back IL

Welcome beyond all that earth

answer.

And with her face hidden on his
shoulder, and his arms holding her
close, Millie felt that ner harvest was
plenteous indeed.

BEYOND.

Beyond the mountains blue and dim,
Far o'er their purple. misty rim,
There are strange beauties, sweet and rare
Beyond the valleys, cool and green,
And all the hills that are bet ween,
There is land divinely fair.
Beyond the fading of the light.
And past the darkness OF the night,
There is a land of endless day.
Beyond the golden, fair sunrise
That comes in rosy eastern skies.
1t is bright morning there Away.
Beyond the winter winds that blow,
And bitter skies and drifting snow,
There is eternal, lovely spring.
Beyond the summers dusty heat,
And MONDAY rays that scorching beat,
Soft, perfumed breezes are awing.
Beyond the heartaches that befall,
And grief and pain that comes TO all,
There is a refuge, sure and sweet.
Beyond life's sorrows and sad cares.
Beyond lost hopes and falling tears,
There is a home where loved ones meet.

Swallowed His Cigarette.

DR.. Lapeyre mentions a remarkable
case, in which an elderly gentleman, in
consequence Of a sudden slap on the
back, unconsciously drew the cigarette
he was smoking into his right bronchus
where it remained without causing any
symptoms or in any way revealing Its
presence for nearly two months, when it
set up pneumonia i'll a ciIcumscribed
area, and produced cardiac weakness and
some @dema Of the lungs
After this condition had lasted with
out much change for about two months
more the patient expelled during VIC
lent fit Of coughing the cigarette, envel-
oped in mucus and waxy looking matter.
and then remembered that he had never
found his cigarette after the slap on the
back four months before. The pneulno-
MIA persisted for two or three months
after the expulsion Of the foreign body.
and some adema Of the right lung, due
probably to embolism, remained at the
date Of the report nearly Il year later
This, as well as some other cases that
have been published, appears to show
that the brunchi are exceedingly tolerant

A LING Throwlnr Gnn.

Another addition to the list Of recently
invented life saving devices is the shout
der line throwing gun, invented by Capt.
Darcy Iryings " tlls English royal navy.
The invention consists OF a shoulder gun,
having the cop or coil Of line. suspended
in case, carried under the breech of the
gun. A rod is inserted in the barrel, the
fore end Of the rod being connected with
the end of the line, which is in the center
of the cop. The line is IA yards long,
and the charge of powder used is two
drains. Upon the gun being fired at a
high elevation the rod is projected up
ward and forward, carrying the line tEsfl-
ing after it. The object rs, of course, 10

When the Great Spirit created the
world he first made three men, oil Of the

leaped in in advance of his fellows, and
came out clean and white.
The other hesitated, but one soon fol
lowed the first. When he went in the
water had become somewhat stained
and he came out copper colored.
Then the third man went in. BY that
time the water of the pool had become
black, and he was consequently black
when he had bathed.
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men and black men in the
world.
Then the Great Spirit laiI down three
packages before the three men, which
contained their future fate. Out Of pity
for the black nan no permitted him to
have his first choice Of the parcels.
The black man, without hesitation,
took the largest Of the parcels; the red
man, whose turn was next, took the
next largest parcel, and the white man
got the remaining one, which was very
small.
Then the men opened their packages

contain shoyels and other implements of

New York is entitled to consideration
as the leading city of the Union in the
manufacture of ink. Fifteen years ago
English ink controlled the market. Since
then the American article has been
gradually pushing the British product
out of the market by its superiority and
excellence. There is great difference
between the wholesale and retuil price
of the fluid. a little bottle Of ink CON
tanning two ounces, for which a person
pays five cents, costs at the factory one
cent. The bottles are really more vaIu-
able than the ink they contain.
The best black ink is made from the
gall nut and iron. The gall nut is found
in Arabia, and is about the size of q
hickory nut and grows on small, scrub
by oak. A large majority of the col
ored inks are made from the extracts Of
coal tar. The most expensive colored
ink used for ruling is earlnine, mede
from the cochineal bug. The cochineal
bug is raised with much care in MexSso.
The dye from this bug is worth SIS a
pound. Since cochineal dye is becom-
ing scarce ink makers are compelled to
use an inferior red color from coal tar.
The ten different colcred inks are all
made from the extract of coal tar. White
ink is made for writing on black paper,
but the demand for it is not very great.

ne MORNING vs.. the Evening ripe.
1t has been ofttimes debated whether
the morning pipe be the sweeter, or that
first pipe of the evening which Hes.
perus. who bringt tn al good things
brings to the weary with home and rest
The first is smoked on clearer palate
and comes to unjadel senses like the
kiss of ones first love. but lacks that
feeling of perfect fruition, of merit re
compensed and the goal and the gar
land won, which clings to the vesper
bowl Whence it comes that the major.
ity give the palm to the latter, to
which intend no slight when find the
incense that arises at mathis sweeteI
even than that of evensong. For. al.
though with most of us who are laborers
in the vineyard, toilers and swinkeIs,
the morning pipe is smoked in hurry and
fear and a sense of alarms and excur-
sions and fieeting trains, yet with all
this there are certain halcyon periods
sure to arrive-Sundays, holidays and
the ike-the whole joy and peace of
which are summed up in that one beati-
iic pipe after breakfast, smoked in a
csre!cas majesty like that OF the gods
when they lie beside their nectar and
the clouds are lightly curled."
Then only can we be said really to
smoke. And so this particular pipe of
the day always carries with it festal
"reminiscences; memories Of holidays
past, hopes for holidays to come; sug-
gestion of sunny lawns and fannels,
and the ungirt loin; a sense withal of
something free and stately, as of faint
march music in the air" or the old
Roman cry Of Liberty, freedom and
enfranchisement. SCOTS Observer.
