The death Of Lord Napier. Of MagdalA
recalls a story Of the old soldiers nerve
as exhibited once, in a time Of profound
peace, in India. The Sikh warriors were
famous swordsmen. and, if any one " as
hardy enough TO test their skill, they
could cut an apple, resting on the palm
Of mans hand, cleaniy in two equal
pieces. so that each piece dropped sep
arately to the ground. without fraying
the skin Of the outstretched hand. Per
feet steadiness was required in the per
son holding the apple. for If the hand
shrank the consequences were likely to
be serious. Ii is, perhaps. needless to
say that the offer to perform this feat
was more often made than accepted.
For long time Lord Napier refused
TO believe that the wild soldiers could dc
this thing, and when one Of them
invited him to hold the apple and wit,
ness the exploit he promptly consented,
supposing that the swordsman would
finch from the undertaking.; but the
Sikh had entire confidence in his OWE
skill. His eye, however, detected little
irregularity on the generals right palm
as it was held out, and he asked him e
present tine apple in his left hand. Lord
Napier afterward said that. for the tirs'
time in his life, he was conscious Of the
sensation of fear, as the conviction
flashed upon him that the man was moi
going to back out" However, firm as
a rock. the hand, with the apple upon it.
was extended, the sword flashed down
and the fruit fell in two segments to the
earth. The skin was not scratched, but
its owner said he felt the keen blade
touch it, as though u hair had beer
broken across it. He added that. though
he was at last convinced of the Sikh
swordsman's skill, he would never agar
allow one of them to test it in that way
and he advised his officers to make the
anne resolution. York Sun.

the last few years at a rate calculated to
excite alarm, and such legislation as that
proposed b. Senator Teller, allowing min

destruction before II shall be too late

how the desire to make something off a

In a parish, not far from Cambridge
university, the Fellows Of colleges used
to hold service every fortnight. A Eel
low, who had gone by mistake one Sun
day too soon, found no preparation for
service. He hunted up the clerks wife,
and she told him it was the wrong Sun
day, but he, as he had come from Cam
bridge, suggested that she should ring
the bell and call the people to worship.
The old lady made a score of objec-

The clergyman stuck to his point: he
would have a service.

Curtis, in his Capitals Of Spanish Amer
ica, - comments upon one OF the curious
notions prevalent in Santiago, city
which he describes ~ ''by far the most
modern and elegant fashionable resort
in South America" Although the eli
mate of Santiago b similar to that Of
Washington or St. Louis. the people
have an idea that fires in their houses
are unhealfhful, and. excep, in dwell
ings built by English or American resi-
depts, there is nothing Ike crate or
stove to be found. Every one wears the
warmess sort Of Undertaking and
heavy wraps indoors and out. The peo-
ple spend six months Of the year in .
perpetual shiver and the other six in
perpetual perspiration. It looks rather
odd TO see civilized people sitting in a
parlor surrounded by every possible lux
ury, fire alone excepted, wrapped in
furs and rugs, with blue noses and chat
tering teeth, when coal is cheap and the
mountains are covered with timber; but
nothing can convince a Chillano that ar
tifcial heat is healthful, and during the
winter. which is the rainy season, he
has not the wit TO warm his chilled body
1t is odd, too, to see in the streets men
wearing fur caps, and with their threats
wrapped in heavy mufflers, while the
women who walk beside them have moth
ing at all ON their heads. During the
morning, while on their way from mass,
or while shopping, the women wear the
manta, as they do in Peru, but in the
afternoon, on the promenade or when
riding, they go bareheaded. The prevail
ing diseases are pneumonia and other
throat and lung troubles, and during the
winter the mortality from these causes is
immense, but the Chillano persists in be-
lieving that artificial heat poisons the at
mosphere, and when he visits the home
Of foreigner, and finds fire, he will
ask that the door be left ajar SO that he

like, women may be seen in full evening
