That night no died and there we're
two funerals from the Rogers mansion
three days later.
But what of John, meantime? His
wound was severe one and it required
the best of care to keep II from proving
fatal, and this he received. His father
had rayed too. when he heard oil, but
hisrage was not SO terrible as that OF
Mabel's father had been.
John was very near the grave and as
he kept constantly asking for Mabel,
the doctor advised the old man to send
for her if he wished his son to recover.
There was fierce struggle in the old
mans mind. He loved his son, but he
hated the very name of Rogers. All
night the battle ragged in his mind, but
when morning came reason had won
the victory, and he dispatched servant
with carriage for Mabel.
She gladly came and thereafter was
almost constantly at her lovers side till
he was brought back to health.
A year Later there was quiet we'd
ding at the Highmore church that made
these two loving hearts one.

A zulu sham Fight.

"A AuAu Shts
A sham fight among the Zulus is an
impressive spectacle. The dusky war
riors are fine, muscular fellows, active,
athletic and highly trained. The rank
and file, untrammeled by ornaments
and dress. move about with grace and
freedom. The officers-chiefs and
headmen--wear coronets of rich ostrich
feathers, which rustic freely with every
movement of the body; circling their
brows are rolls of tiger-skin, from which
descend fringes of coarse hair; from the
necks and shoulders downward to the
knees their bodies are covered with the
tails of monkeys and tigers and strips
cf various hides strung together in
girdles; their wastes are girt about with
tufts of lions name and cowhair. Form
ing into line, their yariegated shields
are so close and regular that they APP
pear interlocked, while above them
bristle rows of cleaning assegai heads.
The foe is imaginary, as even among
their own tribes they are reused to such
pitch of excitement that, had they
any opponents, though only in mimic
warfare, they would be so carried away

bloodshed would inevitably result.
At the word of command they adj
vance in precise order, first slowly, then
quick march, then double. and with
shouts of "ChilaT they charge their
imaginary enemies, and the battle be.
comes fast and furious. Brand1shing
their assegais, stabbing and lunging
with strength and dexterity, each stroke
accompanied by fierce grunt of salts
faction, stamping, gesticulating and
crashing their teeth, they work them
selves into mad frenzy, in which their
features are distorted and their eyes
glare with fierce lust of blood, quite
frightful to witness.
Suddenly the word of command is
given to retire, and, as victors shout
ing triumph they march from the I'D.
Then there appears upon the scene q
horde OF Wi1d-Io0K1ng, black creatures,
running and leaping from place to place,
screaming Economically, and frantically
beating the earth with short, heavy
clubs. These are the women, and they
are engaged in the horrible atrocity Of
killing the wounded. After a sham
fight the night is spent in feasting and
revelry.

Cincinnati whisky is justly famed for
the picturesque effects it produces In the
nan who is foolish enough to drink it.
The case of VIM. Redmond, who regis
istercd at the police station as residing
in New York, is fair illustration. 1t
was reported to Patrolman Jordan the
other night that an unknown man was
seen sitting in the belfry of st. Xavier's
church with his feet hanging over the
side. The policeman climbed the three
long ladders which led up the steeple
and there found Mr.. Redmond in a
drunken stupor. Redmond was lowered
by block and tackle and locked up in
a cell for safe keeping. When he was
sober enough to give some account of
himself he said he had climbed the stee-
pie and slept there for three consecutive

"They may not care anything for him

within a week you will have orders for
at least thousand copies"
Nonsense" the dealer replied.
"No. it's not nonsense. The Brook

THE PATHWAY THROUGH THE
WOODS.
BIZ WILLIAM LYLE.

Twas only little pathway,
Bordered with marigold sweet,
With the green leaves overarching
The marks of unfrequent feet.
The golden tints of the autumn
brought one Of my saddest moods,
As took that lonely pathway
Through the solemn, silent woods.
Chifp, chirp, said the wee brown sopgstor,
~ he hoped from limb to limb,
stealing one look at the stranger
Then seeking the shadows dim.
Anon a sound that was sweeter
With fniry-like interludes
came over my soul like ether
And charmed that path through the WOODS
thereafter there came vision
AS bright as a tabled fay,
A maiden of wondrous beauty
Stood right in my morrow way.
She blushed, and twilight grew rosy
Down through the soft solitudes.
1 had mot my fate and knew it,
In the pathway through the woods.
Many happy years have blessed me
Since that quiet cleaning hour,
And to-day, beside my home hearth
dote on that woodland flower.
There Is sunshine in her presence
NJ, matter what care intrudes,
And dear for her sake, forever,

She inherits a better legacy than

are no graded courses of study, no ex-

eternal and intolerable smashing of
piano keys. Aspirants for degrees can
go to the Harvard annex. Would-be
grenadiers are directed to Holyoke and

universities for intellectual force. Here
coquetry is fostered, and no secret is

kiss curls; harsh voices lowered whole

joints loosened and every symptom of q
strong mind rigidly suppressed. The
pupil is sweetened, softaned, and
curved. She is carefully instructed to
know nothing and to do nothing that
will rob grace or mar smile. And

of her native city, and see if she is not
speedily captured by the most promis-
ing lawyer or physician in the vicinity!

An Old-T5me Inventor.

1t is very seldom that a request for a
patent is refused to Scottish applicant,
and when it is the reason almost invari-
ably is that the idea has already been
patented. One of the earliest Scotch in
ventors in this country was old Hugh
Orr, Lochwinnoch man, during the
revolutionary times. He was well known
in his life time to Washington and the
other American leaders, as from his
foundry came most of their iron and
brass cannon. Orr invented many agri-
cultural implements.
