Near n Tornado.

While Captain Powell was in charge
of the Florida Convict camp, as mar
rated in his book. "The American ST.
beria," he was one day out with a
gang of fifteen negroes dipping, tur-
pentine in the woods. The weather
had been warm and genial, with no
sign of storm, but just as he was ready
to quit work he heard dull, roaring
| sound and saw singular cloud bear
ing rapidly down upon him. 1t was Of

had never seen such thing before,
but recognized it from descriptions
as the famous funnel-shaped cloud that
has figured in the history of so many
terrible tornadoes, and shouted to my
men to lie down.
. AS the monstrous apparition APP
preached, the noise increased to roar
that beggars all description. The
earth vibrated under MS, and could
see pine-trees turning over and over in
the black swirl, like chaff in puff Of
wind. l took it for granted that we
were lost, but with one supreme shock
the great cloud passed us, and tore
away with a strange bounding or hop
ding motion, and finally disappeared.
During the passing of the tornado it
was impossible to see or even to think,
but as it recedcd found myself stand
ing in the midst of my PROSTATE squad,
with at least half n dozen of the ne
grses hanging to my legs like scared
children. They were frightened half
out of their wits, as well they might
be, for we were right on the edge Of
the tornado, and the difference of a
few yards would have swept us all into
eternity.

Had Broken Something.

If people never cried until they were
hurt, there would be much less noise
in the world; but sometimes the crying
is both amiable and amusing.
An exchange says that servant sent
money to Ireland to pay the passage
of her sister to Boston. She was to
come by the Cephalonia. Meanwhile
the girl watched the papers daily to
see whether the steamer had acrived.
At last she found the desired item, but
it came to her as a terrible disap-
pointment, and she ran to her mistress
in state of distress.
"The Cephalonia has got in" she
said, ''but oh, saints In heaven, an ac
cident has happened to her!'
"What is it?" said the mistress. She
took the paper, and this was what she
read:
1.-The Cephalonia below; she has
broken her record"

Had Roads.


In these days, when so much is said
in American newspapers about the
Importance of good roads, it may be in
feresting to know how such matters
are looked upon in Ecuador. Mr.,
Whymper, in his new book, says:
had been rebuked in Quito for OBJ
jecting to the ''royal" route, because
our animals had sunk halfway up to
their tanks. When asked my moni.
tor what he considered bad road, he
replied:
"A road Is bad when the beasts
tumble into mud-holes and vanish
right out of sight"
At one place my animal stopped or
the brink, unwilling to proceed. Dis
mounting, gave it q touch with the
whip. 1t went head-frst into the
slough, and emerged on the other side
q miserable object, dripping with filth,
which for second had risen above its
headquarters.
This mud hole was about four feet
deep, and was the finest we discovered
In Ecuador.

The Pail, or 'prccipice," to be
reached by long drive from Homo
lulu, is worthy of being reckoned
among the wonders of the world.
There one may stand on rim of rock
a thousand feet above the green mead
ows below. Gray walls rise 5000 feet
above the head, and far off the mighty
pillows of the Pacific sweep shore
ward. The scene is full of awe and
wonder, and there have been but two
visitors known who returned from the
trip with rancor in their hearts and
displeasure in themselves.
They were ladies who had travelled
much, and were accustomed to hearing
French spoken in foreign countries;
and SO when they were told that the
pail was one of the places to be visited,
they translated the word palace"
AS they were invited 20 the latter place
to reception one evening, they
ordered a carriage and set out, in their
best finery, after giving the coachman
the order, ITO the pail"
~ fear you will have an unpleasant
drive" the hotel clerk had ventured to
remark, but they only replied:
80, no, we have determined to go,
and it doesn't matter"
The distance seemed interminable,
and at last the ladies called to the
driver:
"Do you know where you arc going?"
Faith, an do" was the assured
answer; 'it's to the pail. an I've been
there often"
Settling back in their seats, they re-
signed themselves to the fact that they
were going to some country place be-
longing to his Majesty. They were
now in the open country.
An hour or more had elapsed, the
roadway was steep and rough, and the
rain was still falling. The ladies, in
their anxiety, had forgotten their
French, and cried out in honest En-
glish:
where is the palace?'
"Palace!' quoth the driver, "tis not
the palace at all, at all; it's the pail,
an there It is!''
After this there was nothing to be
done but to turn about and retrace
their steps, but they were forced to de-
scend in the mire and rain while the
driver turned the carriage. Wet and
bedraggled, they arrived at the palace
just as most of the guests were depart
ing, and the next morning found that
their adventure had become town talk.

A noY,s Philosophy.

"Little Johnny" whose sayings are
reported in the New York Herald
must be a bad boy. Can his father
and mother be at all to blame?
''If you tell the truth about some.
thing" says Johnny, you get licked,
and If you tell a lie you don't. unless
you get found out, and then you ge,
licked twice.
~ know a boy" he adds, "Yho al.
ways tells the truth. His mother is in
Europe and his father is out West"
The same youthful philosopher de-
livers himself upon another point after
this fashion:
"Some boys is brave cause they al,
ways plays with little boys, and some
boys is brave cause their legs is toe
short to run away, but most boys is
brave cause somebody's loolsin'."
