out delay. Intent on this, she resumed
her sunbonnet, and FASTENED down the
street to the village store, kept by
Deacon Ransomc.
The deacon, q pompons little man,
and Aunt Martha were soon in deep
conversation. There had always been
o settled conviction in the deacon's
mind, at least, that the legal profession
would have gained shining light had
he chosen it, rather than the mercantile
one, at the beginning Of his career. 1t
was with inward satisfaction, though
with much outward unwillingness. that
he consented to conduct the investiga-
ton that evening. Perhaps certain
rumor that Deacon Perkins had accused
him Of little irregularities" added
slightly to that satisfaction, but it was
noted that he was more than usually ur-
bane the remainder of the day.
1t was also remarked that evening,
how Aunt Martha seated herself di-
rectly behind Deacon Ransome, though
her usual place was on the opposite
side OF the church. The kindly old
minister opened the services and after
hymn. sung to the good old tune OF
Federal Street. requested Deacon Per

TERRAceD MOUNT ANS.


A Geological Curiosity Loca ted Near Mag.
dslena, Mexico.
A Southwestern newspaper describes
terraced mountain in Mexico. located
about fifty miles southwest of Magda-
lena. The mountain is circular in form,
about three-quarters Of mile in dame
ter and terraced from base to peak.
The height Of the terrace is from ten to
twelve feet and in many places is built
Of solid masonry. At many other places
it is cut out Of the solid rock. The road
way is from fifteen to twenty feet in
width, starting at the base Of the
mountain and coiling itself spiral-like
to the peak, which is not less than /, 200
feet higher than the base of the mount
ain. The cost Of the construction and
cutting out of the solid rock of this ter
raced road must have been enormous,
and the remarkable feature Of this won
der is the state OF its preservation.
Here and there masonry has yielded to
the crumbling influences of time, but
these are exceptions.
At the base of this terraced mountain
is = mighty rock. which has the appear
ance of having been hewn out Of the
solid mass; and weighs 100 tons or more.
It is placed at the mouth of what APP
pears to be the entrance to this terraced
mountain. Here another query is sug-
gested: Does this door to the mou ntain
open the way to mineral treasure or to
the shrine OF ancient religious devotees?
Again, does the terraced road which
coils itself to the peak Of the mountain
lead to the shrine Of the ancient vestal
virgin who kept eternal watch on the
sacred fire which was never suffered to

''The witness for the persecution will

Ozro Meachim, sitting in one of the
back pews, stood, but declined to come
forward. Turning slowly around the
deacon faced him. and proceeded to
question him as follows:

"Thefs so, deacon, can't deny it,
ibid you, or did you not, declare
that, to the best OF your ability, it wuz

The courts OF Cyprus are affiicted by

The interpreter was an Armenian. The
Christian compliments accused the Turk

Armenian interpreter confused kudella
with kopella, and thus gave the idea
that the case concerned the abduction

the women folks in the village.
