A Roman Method of Securing Power.

Prior to the introduction of water power
mills the public mills in Rome were Cd
Grated chiefly by slayea. These establish
ments were located in the vaults of an i'm
mense building, known as the Pistrinum,
devoted exclusively to the uses of the
bakers of that city. Often it happened
that this slave labor was very difficult to
obtain, and to supply the want the mill
proprietors resorted to violent measures.
They enticed strangers and ignorant persons
into the building on the plea of inspect
ing it.
In some of the rooms ingeniously con-
structed trapdoors were placed in the
floors. AS soon as an unsuspecting victim
stepped upon the trap he was precipitated
to the vaults below and there imprisoned
and condemned to perpetual labor. No
chance of communicating with his friends
was afforded the prisoner, and thus he was
compelled to drudge until released by
death.
This horrible state of affairs continued
for many years, until it was finally un-
masked by the merest accident. A lusty
soldier of the guard was enticed into the
Pistrinum and treated in the usual man.
ner, but not being rendered unconscious by
the fall through the trap, he drew his
sword, and after killing two of his would
be enslaYers forced his way out of the
vault. He soon laid bare the entire
scheme, the emperor Immediately ordered
the building to be RACED to the ground,
and all who were proven to have been ac-
lively engaged in this murderous method
of obtaining workmen were quickly ex-
ecuted.-Detroit Free Press.

THE STARRY HOST,

The cdtihtless stars which to our human eve
Are fixed and steatif;tSt. each in proper place
Forever bound to changeess points in space
Rush with our sun and planets through the
sky.
And like a flock of birds still onward fly;
Returning never whence began their race.
They speed their ceeseless way with gleam-
ing face,
AS though God bade them win infnity.
All, whittier. whittier Is their forward flight
Through endless time and limitless expanse?
What power with unimaginable might
First hurled them forth to spin in tireless
dance?
What beauty lures them on through primal
night,
so that. for them, to be is to advance?

starvation ut Bonner Lake.

On his arrival at Suffers fort, my father
made known the situation of the emigrants,
and Captain Suffer offered at once to do
everything possible for their relief He
furnished horses and provisions and my
father and Mr.. McClutchen started for the
mountains, coming as far as possible with
horses and then with pscks on their backs
proceeding on foot; but they were finally
compelled to return. Captain Suffer was
not surprised at their defeat. He stated
that there were no ablebodied men in that
vicinity, all having gone down the country
with Fremont to fight the MeXicans. He
advised my father to go to Yerba Ruens,
now San Francisco, and make his case
known to the naval officer in command
Ny father was, in fact. conducting parties
there, when the seven members of tEe for
lorn hope arrived from across the noun
tains. Their famished faces told the story.
Cattle were killed and men were up all
night drying beef and making -four by
hand mills, nearly 200 pounds being made
in one night. and a party Of seven, COM
manded by Captain Reason P. Tucker,
were sent to our relief by Captain Suffer
and the alcalde, Mr.. Sinclair. On the even
ing of Feb. 10, 1S47, they reached our
cabins, where all were were starving. They
shouted to attract attention. Mr.. Breen
clambered up the icy steps from our cabin,
and soon we heard the blessed words, RE
lief, thank God, relief!' There was joy at
Bonner Lake that night, for we did not
know the fate of the forlorn hope and we
were told that relief parties would come
and go until all were across the mountains.
But with the Joy sorrow was strangely
blended There were tears in other ewes
than those of children; strong men sat
down and wept. For the dead were lying
about on the snow, some even unburied,
since the living had not had strength to
bury their dead When Milf Elliott died
our faithful friend who seemed SO like a
brother-my mother and dragged him up
out of the cabin and covered him with
snow. Commencing at his feet, patted
the pure white snow down softly until |
reached his face. Poor Mill it was hard
to cover that face from sight forever, for
with his death our best friend was gone

She lowest price being four cents and the

Rev. Septimus Smith was many years
ago vicar of St Cross Neneham. He
made no secret at all of his habit Of
buying ready-made sermons. He was
lsindly-natured, easy-going man. and
was popular among his people.
One Sunday morning, on going into
the vestry after service, he found his
old clerk in tears.
'What's the matter, Jones3" inquired
the vicar.
40 SIR" replied the clerk. ''this Is q
painful surprise to us all"
Surprise, Jones; what do You mean,
man?''
"Your sermon this morning, sir. We
are all very sorry, and you gave US no
warming"

you mean?"
''Why, your farewell sermon. We
are all dreadfully cut up"
Rev. Septimus had actually read to
his congregation an old farewell SER
mon without either intending It or
knowing what he was saying to them.

d charming Swiss villa, Inhabited by

the nearest seaport town.
To the great surprise of his house
keeper, the Russian doctor showed no
immediate inclination to resume his
practice. He declared that he must
confine his social obligations to the
receiving and returning of calls, leav-
ing dinner and evening parties and
afternoon coffees to Marianne. The
writing of a long-contemplated medi-
cal work would engross him for some
time to come Until that was ended
he must abjure general society.
Marianne gave free vent to her dis
appointment. She had hoped for a
triumphal social career by her cousins
side. She had also hoped that he
would marry. In that event, why
should she not be the chosen one? "a
doctor is expected to marry" she said
to him. II venture to predict that
your hour will come; that you will
some time fall head over ears in love. {"
The doctor laughed, but Marianne
said to herself that her excellent man.
agement might hasten on that fateful
hour. The mirror she that night con-
suited in the privacy of her chamber
reflected a woman remarkably fresh
and youthful-looking for eight-and-
thirty.
Our Russian doctor had lived three
months in the vine-wreathed house.
He had heard the nightingales sing
their old-time songs to the roses; he
had seen these roses bloom and wither.

Once-summer was already passing
with light footsteps through the land
when Arnim, at his pupils request,
had recited these dreamy verses, Hor-
tense rose suddenly, and with feverish
haste plucked nosegay from the red
roses and white lilies, which bloomed
in wild luxuriance IN the garden, and
laid it on the table before him. He
carried it in his hand as he went home,
delighting in its beauty and fragrance.
What dear, kind-hearted creature she
was, this little girl! Even his mother,
spite of those "reminiscences of 1912,
could but love her.
The next noon when Arnim returned
from the gymnasium, he found letter
from the Marquis. 1t contained a check
and some obligatory words of courtesy,
expressing much regret that the les
sons must be discontinued for a season,
as his daughter was about to visit Paris.
Arnim persuaded himself that brief
pause in the lessons would be the best
thing for him, as his examinations were
near at hand. He also decided that he
would make no attempt to bid Hortense

he would choose path not leading by
the latticed gate.
If the roses and lilies in that glass Of
water had only been less enchanting in
their perfume as he came to this con-
clusion! He was about to throw them
out of the window; but why make the
poor flowers answer for reminding him
of the garden where they grew
He kept his resolution until evening
then he wandered again along the dear
old path, past the garden gate. HI
