An Accidental Cure.

A gentleman was suffering from an
liberated sore throat, which finally be
came so swollen that his life was de
SPARED of. When his household came
to his bedside to bid him farewell, each
person grasped his hand for a moment
and then, turning, went out weeping.
A pet ape, which had modestly waited
till the last, then advanced, and grasp
ing his masters hand for minute, also
turned and walked away with his hands
TO his eyes.
This assumption of deep grief, which
it is hardly possible the animal could
have really felt, was so ludicrous in its
perfection that the sick man was seized
with an uncomfortable fit of laughter,
which broke the ulcer in his throat,
whereby his life was saved. American

PapYrus Books.

Early writers made use of linen or
cotton fabrics, of skins and even of
scales of fishes for writing. For long
period papyrus was used, the books
being made in rolls, being about L 1-2
feet wide and sometimes fifty feet long.
Papyrus was flag, or bulrush, growing
eight or ten feet high, found in the
marshes of Egypt; from its inner pith
the form of paper called papyrus was
made.
Papyrus sheets were neatly joined,
attached to stick and rolled upon it
(whence we have our word volume, "
from the Latin volvere, to rolD. The
titles were written on tags attached t.
the sticks or inscribed on the outside
of the rolls. The rolls were kept in
round wooden boxes resembling the old
fashioned bandboxes, and could easily
be carried about.-C. A. Lynde in st.
Nicholas.

THE MARRIAGE OF MISS MATTE E.
MITCHELL FIXED.
PARIS, Dec, 2.-The marriage OF
Miss Matte e. Mitchell, daughter
ex-senator Mitchell of Oregon toDuke
Francois de la Rochefoucald, will
take place early In January.
Though the engagement was only
lately announced, the betrothal is of
long standing, The young people
first met six years ago at a dinner
given in Miss Mitchel's honor al
st. German, where the duke was
then stationed, and it is said thai
the romance opened with love al
first sight, Reasons of a private
nature at that time preventing the
marriage of the young officer, but
upon Miss Mitchell's arrival in
Europe last summer the dukes mat
ters were satisfactorily arranged and
the young couple were made happy
by the formal consent of both fami
lies. The duke is gallant young
officer In the Chasseurs d. Antique,
and has been stationed with his regi
ment at Aleiers for three years.
Upon his recent promotion to u cap
fancy he was ordered TO duty In the
neighborhood of the Paris station,
which he found especially cosgenial,
as 1t brought him nearer to his
fiancee. The duke Is no carpet
knight. Throughout his career he
has always sought active duty. His
service In Africa has been of most
arduous character. Though but 3S
years of age, he has already made a
brilliant military record, He is heir
to three moderate estates in France,
though his present income is not
large.
THE BALTIMORE RELIEVED.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 2.-The United
States ship Yorktown arrived here
Monday. Her crew received a royal
welcome from the men of the Balti-
more. which will, In all likelihood,
sail for the north. The intendente
of Valparaiso has requested Cap.
tain Schley to furnish the evidence
Of the Baltimore's surgeons In re-
gard to the nature Of Boatswain's |
Mate Higgins wounds, TO aid In
whether the latter's |
wounds were caused by pistol or u
rifle bullet. Rifles are carried by
Chilian police. The Chllian doctor
who attended Riggin swears his
death was caused by revolver bullet.
Notwithstanding this there Is sill
snt witness to the contrary In the
hole made In the shirt and necktle
1f the Baltimore's sailor who was
holding Riggln In his arms after
Riggln was stabbed. This hole was
made by a rifle bullet OF 42-cahber,
md proves conclnsively the shot
was fired by the police. This Is sus-
aimed by the evidence Of the Baltl-
nore's surgeon, who measured the
bullet wound. In the course OF
conversation with British Minister
Kennedy yesterday, he said he re.
gretted the attacks made la some
