can be made very useful institution,

~-----------7----------7- A Trick at a Masquerade.

A trick that was amusing for the completeness of the deception was re- gently carried out at mask party. says the Boston Courier. The dancing was kept up until midnight, and sup per was postponed until that hour in order 10 delay the unmasking. Just as the guests had reached the supper room couple of policemen presented themselves at the door and insisted up- on being allowed to go into the house. Finding the host in the midst of the guests, and the fun of the surprise of the unmasking just at it's height, the policemen demanded of him the names of his guests.
 The names of my guests" the host repeated in surprise.
 Yes, sir; we must make list of them"
 Mako a list of thempn the gentle man repeated again, with growing in- dignation. What an insulti 1 never heard of such thing"
 Cant help it, sir; we have to obey orders.'
 The guests were as indignant as their host, but there was nothing to do but N' St"AhtAt hht sothC Ntl1 saStiN ie- marked that the simplest thing was 10 give the man the list and let him go, as no harm could come of letting the police have the nanes, although of course they had been sent for under a mistake. While the. list was being written, and the company were stand ing about with muttered expressions of indignation and sympathy with the host, one of the policemen stepped coolly up the supper table and helped himself to glass of champagne.
 Look here, my man." the host said angrily. 'the law may give you power to come into my house and take list of my guests, but it certainly doesn't give you any claim on my wine"
 Why, thought that was included in my invitation,h the policeman re- sponded dropping into his natural tone and pulling of his wig to disclose the familiar head of one of the friends of the host who had sworn to him that he would come to the party without being recognized. 'Of course, if you say so, my dear fellow, l will let it alone.'

MT. Montgomery's Breakfast.

''Oh, dear, Ferguson" said Mrs. Montgomery, as the 6:30 whistle blew the other morning, Il do wish you had been born a woman, so you might know how mean it is to get up and get break. fast"
 Mir. Montgomery had been wakeful that morning, says the Minneapolis Journal. and he determined to teach his wife a lesson. Stretching his arms up and yawning vigorously he said:
 Why am ashamed ofyou, my dear. It's no cross for me to get up. You just lie still and I'll show you how breakfast ought to be put on"
 Nr. Montgomery leaped up and into his pantaloons, and his wife subsided into the pillow with little deprecatory murmur When Mir. Montgomery found himself in the kitchen he looked around and felt a little out of hIs element. But he soon had the fire going and the ket- tie singing merrily.
 We'll" he said to himself. as he rubbed his hands and inhaled the soft morning air as it came through the open door, this is famous. Now we'll fry 8 little of that mashed potato that was left over and chunk of steak, and everything will be as merry as a mar riage bell"
 But he had made one little mistake And alas! he did not know it. What he took for mashed potato was lard First he heated the spider and dropped In little butter, watching it sizzle, Then he took a big spoon, and mold ing little Jumps oft the lard dropped them them into the pan. A dense smoke arose, and Mir. Montgomery went to put up the windows. When he went to see If the potato was done brown the material had disappeared and the spider was half full of bubbling fat.
 Suffering Bad" said Mir. Mont gomery in amazement. Il believe there's some witchcrsft here"
 Then he took closer look at the potato and sat down moment to dis like himself. At this moment his at. tention was attracted by the tea kettle. which had stopped singing and was cracking ominously. The water had boiled out. Mir. Montgomery jumped up to lift 1t of. The handle was red. hot.

Remarkable Ceremony in India

Invitations were recently issued to all officers and other European and ma. tive residents to witness festival known as "Agni Kund" which literal. ly means walking over a pool of fire, at the residence of the rani of Coorg, says a letter from Benares. The invi. tations were largely responded to, and all the European spectators were aston. ished at seeing the natives walking over pool of living coals. The place where the fire was placed was about 20 feet long. feet wide, and feet deep. At one end of this was situated the god of fires, made of kneaded flour, and the great god Mahadeo was conveyed around the fire three times in grand palanquin borne by priests. amid great singing and dancing Something after the fashion of the Indian war dance and song). After the third turn one of the priests. with a drawn sword. sever- ed the head of the god of fires, which they said had the effect of cooling the ire" After the defeat of the god several natives, young and old, of differ. ent castes, walked across the fire with bare feet. None of them complained, but repeated their walks.

 As this suggestion meets with ap- proval, they manage to convey mes sage to the captain, and in very few minutes he is with them, and is made acquainted with their hopes and fears. Silently, cautiously, without any light, but carrying two small lamps ready, for ignition, they go down to the corridor where is the door that leads to the secret staircase.

There has been on exhibition in New York an enormous sheep wool sponge, which is said to be the largo t one ever obtained l. measures ten feet in circumference and is two feet thick, being quite solid throughout. IL was tished up near the Bahama islands by the crew of a vessel en- gagged In that trade, and. judging by the stories Of the fishermen, they had tough time in getting their prize aboard. Being in small dngey when the hooks fastened themselves in the sponge, the men nearly upset their boat in tho effort to haul the sponge to the surface. When it was finally sc- cured, the iron prongs of the hook had become strengthened out under the resistance. When thoroughly soaked this monster sponge is said to hold ten pailfuls of water.

 At that rate, if secrecy is to be our first thought, let you and me go alone in search of Sir Adrian" Alone, and at this hour, to that aw- ful rooml" exclaims Dora, recoiling from her.
 Yes. at once"-frmly-"without an- other moments delay" "Oh, 1 can not!" declares Dora, shud- dering violently. Then shall go alone.' | AS Florence says this, she takes up her candlestiek and moves quickly to- ward the door.
 Stay, 1 will go,' cries Dora tremb- ling. But slight interruption occur ring at this instant, they are compelled | to wait for awhile.
 Ethel Villiers, coming into the room to make her parting adieus to Mrs. | Talbot, as she and her father intend leaving next morning, gazes anxiously from Florence to Dora, seeing plainly that there is something amiss. What is it?" she asks kindly, going up to Florence.
 Miss Delmaine, after a little hesita- tion, encouraged by glance at Dora s | terrified countenance, determines on taking the newcomer into their conf- dence.
 In few words she explains all that has taken place, and their suspicion. Ethel, though paling beneath the hor- TOT and surprise occasioned by the re- cjtal, does not lose her self-possession. .I will go with you,' she volunteers. -but, let me say,' she adds, Il think | you are wrong in making this search l without a man.
