John Dorison awoke the next morning
betimes, with an uneasy sense of having
passed through a nightmare. II was some
moments before he could recall the events
of the night previous. When he did, he
leaped quickly from his bed, for by them
was also recalled a resolution to seek Mr.
Nettleman as early as possible, to inform
him of the assumed name he had gwen
the police the night previous, and to beg
him TO assist him in preserving his incog-
nito.
Therefore he hastily dressed, the while
be cursed the impulse that had induced him
10 return to the city of his birth, where
everything served to remind him of his un-
deserved disgrace. Absently thrusting his
hand in his pocket he came upon the por-
trait and ring he had obtained the night
previous.
II was with shock of surprise that he
drew them out, for he had forgotten them.
Taking them TO the window he gave
them careful examination.
There could be no mistake
The portrait was that of his father and
the ring was too familiar for him to make
an error concerning it, But how came
they in the room where he had found

Dorison did as he was requested and
brought the box to the old man, who, open

picked out a letter or two
Dorison handed him the two fragments
of paper, saying;
"Please compare the handwriting on

The old gentleman, much excited. did so
and exclaimed:

ON THE AFRICAN COAST
The Barn Owl.

How soft is the plumage of the owl,
and how noiseless her fight. Watch her
as she floats past the ivy tod, down by
the ricks and silently over the old wood;
then away over the meadows, through
the open door and out of the loophole of
the barn; round the lichened tower and
along the course of the brook. Presently
she returns to her four downy young
with a mouse in one claw and a vole in
the other, soon to be ripped up, torn and
eaten by the greedy, swapping imps.
Young and eggs are not unfrequently
found in the same nest.
If you would see the midday siesta of
these birds climb up into the haymow
There, in an angle of the beam, you will
see their owlships snoring and blinking
wide their great round eyes Their duet
is the most unearthly, ridiculous, grave
noise conceivable; unlike anything you
ever heard. There they will stay all day,
digesting the mice with which they have
gorged themselves until twilight, when
they again issue forth upon their mad
cap revels.
This clever mouser has strong claim
to our protection; SO let not idle super
stition further its destruction Man

SHANGHAI, Oct. 27.-The anti-foreign
movement continues in the Human pro-
vince, and among the rebel. chiefs are
many of the viceroys, magistrates and
generals. The government seems to be
unable to prevent the spread of the up
rising and its propaganda against for
eigners. Following is the substance of
an important document which has been
displayed on the walls everywhere:
Inhabitants who are anxious of pre-
venting the violation of our country, let
uc prepare a plan of defense so that
every district may take up arms and
assemble its forces. Every great dis
trict should furnish 10000 men; every
lesser district Ii, 900, and every small dis
trict 10000. Let us chase from the prov
inces the deyil-mouthed European pigs.
Having power, money and men and being
brave, let us destroy the enemy. 1t will
be much better to burn their dwellings,
churches and mission buildings, than
confscate them for the purpose of in
creasing our revenue. We will extin-
guish the fires dangerous to Chinese
dwellings. Let US stamp on the cattle
of Jesus, the heavenly pigs. Let US
punish the converted Chinese, the trait
ors, and let us Danish the families OF the
guilty on the ships of the American
f1eet.''
HAMBURG, Oct. 27.-The semi-oficia
Hamburg correspondent today denies
the statement that the European powers
and the United States had decided to
take joint or cooperative action in
China, with the view of defending their
common interests. The correspondent
adds that no national or special arrange
ment is necessary to protect those inter
ests.

nobleman, II ride in the Bois, see few

The French national Printing works.

The French National Printing Works.
The French national printing works
date from the year 1910, and owe their
origin to Louis XIII, who established
them under the title Imprimerie royale
The works were suppressed at the begin
ming of the revolution and reorganized
in the Year II. The state printing office
has had many homes. 1t is now in the
former abode of the princely house of
Rohan, in the Rue Vieille du Temple,
which still retains traces Of its former
splendor.
Besides executing all the printing of
the ministries and other public bodies,
the presses of the Imprimerie rationale
are at the service of all private indivld-
uals who require in their works types
impossible to procure elsewhere. The
collection at the Hotel de Rohan IS
unique and contains 200 varieties. 1t
would almost satisfy the archdeacon OF
the story whose sermons could not be
printed because the printer had only one
ton of parentheses in stock.-London

EuROPEAN FLOODS.
Continued Reports of Damage in Eng
land, France and Spain.


MADRID, Oct. 37.-Througbout Spain
there is more or less evidence of dam.
age done by the floods and of the severe
nature of the inundations. In many
submerged districts acute distress pre-
walls among the poorer classes of inhab-
itants. The Ebro continues to rise, and
is flooding the streets of Tortosa,
in the province of Tarragona, and
placing the surrounding country under
water. On all sides animmense amount
of damage has been done. Many vii
lagos are entirely isolated from the sur
rounding towns and hamlets, and there
has been great loss everywhere in live
stock and crops. The villages of Gual-
chos and Urce, near Granada, are COM
pletely inundated.
THE FLOODS IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Oct, 27,-Floods are still do
ing much damage in various parts Of
England. A long railroad cutting near
Maidstone, Kent, undermined by floods,
collapsed today, completely blocking the
railroad lines. Additional details of
disaster afloat from the terrific gales
which have prevailed along the coasts
recently, continue to be received. A

fire crew, foundered in the gales.

Curious Condition of Patient In n

Curious Condition of Patient In n
Baltimore Hospital.
BALTIMORE, July 6.-The physicians at
the Maryland University hospital have now
under their care a patient who is suffering
great torments from very unusual acci-
dent. He is human balloon, whose sup
ply Of breath increases " ith every respirs-
ton, while there is no escape-valve to re-
lieve him. The sufferer is Otto Weir, who
was, until his misfortune, strong, robust
German, about 90 years OF age. Otto came
to this country about eighteen months ago
and secured employment at the freight
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad. Last
week, while unloading tlat-car at
Canton, he slipped and fell heavily
to the ground. He suffered great
pain, but did not know that he
was badly injured internally He began TO
swell, however, and suffered intensely, and
was taken to the University hospital. In
vestigation showed that in falling Mr.. Weir
had ruptured his left lung, causing the nir
AS he breathes it in to escape into his stom-
ach from which it cannot be expelled as
fast RS it goes in. Weir had soon swollen
to double his normal size, and the physi-
clans became convinced that if the influx
of air WAS not at once stopped the limit of
elasticity would soon be reached and their
patient would burst. They accordingly
swathed his entire body in heavy. strong
bandages, and in these the unfortunate
victim is patiently awaiting his end. Be-
tween pressure from within and the pres
SUE from without, Weir's sufferings are
frightful. Each breath he draws causes
intense pain. The physicians in charge
have small hopes of his recovery.
