Quite runaway accident occurred
here last Saturday. Willie Edredge,
student of the college, had occasion to
go into the pasture and took with him
Artie, the eleven-year-old son of Mrs. f.
A. Bradley, to hold the horse while he
left the carriage to let down the bars
The team had passed into the lot, when
the colt took fright at something, the wind
was blowing hard at the time. and started.
Artie was unable to hold her and she
made a circle around the lot and passed
out through the opening into the high
way and started for home. With true
courage and forethought Artie chung
bravely to the rens and kept the seat the
best he could. They passed down the
steep grade of the school house hill, 60
ing at fearful rate, where the roadway
is narrow and on one side Is a steep en-
bankment where misstep or slight
turn would have thrown them over and
down the bank many feet. On turning
the corner of School street the carriage
again nearly capsized, but righted, and
they passed on down Main street, where
the colt turned into the yard at home.
The carriage struck the corner of the
house, completely demolishing the vehicle
and throwing the colt on her side. y
young man who saw the team coming
sprang to the colt and held her down
while Artle was eXtricated from under
the wreck of the carriage, and, strange as
it seems, he was uniniured, though terribly
frightened. Probably his pluck and pres
ence of mind saved not only himself but
the life of the colt, which is valuable
animal.

Hesitatingly, a bit of aurora's saffron colored gown appeared in the mist. There were painfully rolling on the pavement phantoms of cabs drawn by phantoms of horses. Street cleaners, hideous, covered with mud, were sweep ing and shoveling Two young men, evidently unconscious of the hour and the scene, discussed Aldrich and Sully- Prudhomme. Out of an eating house, in the green glare of an electric light which made livid their faces. came young men and women laughing. They threw lighted cigar in the crowd of workmen. One of them lifted his head in sudden surprise, passed his hand on the back of his neck, looked for an instant with the angry black eyes of a young athlete, leaned his el- bow on tho handle of his shovel and said to a companion in Italian:
 When he and I return to our re spective stations will be a presentable loafer, but you will see what sort of a street cleaner he'll make. ."-New York Times.

Aaber carvinrz.

As material for art carving nothing can be more beautiful than amber. There are many beautiful specimens of 1t to be found in the royal collections of Europe. In the English collection at South Kensington is an octagonal casket belonging to the queen, tho ob- long plates carved with figures emblem atic of the cardinal virtues.
 There is also in the same collection Q larger casket of architectural design, very remarkable for the variety of col. ors of the amber used in its construc- ton. It Is ornamented with statnettes, twisted pillars and quaint paneling, the workmanship being Flemish of the Seventeenth century. One interesting specimen of modern carving in amber was shown at the International exposi ton in 18e2 in the form of a vine branch with leaves and fruit. t.-Phila delphia Times.

The Herb of Prophecy.

Another remarkable plant has re- gently been added to the long list of botanical curiosities, M. Carrera, dep uty of oaxaca, having taken to the City of Mexico plant which is known to grow only in Mixteca. called the ''herb of prophecy" by the natives Devotees of this weed take it much in the same manner that cocoa leaves are taken by those addicted to the habit. In a few moments after a dose of it has been taken a sleep is produced similar in all respects to, and it might be said identical with the hypnotic state. When under its influence the sleeper is completely insensible, but will answer with closed eyes all questions put to him.
 1t is further said of this wonderful plant that the pathologic state induced on whomsoever partakes of the herb brings with it kind of prophetic gift and second sight One who has taken this herb loses his will even more eom- pletely than does the person who is in the hypnotic state, and is So thoroughly under the control of any voice that he would shoot or stab himself at any mo- ment if commanded to do So. When one regains his senses after being under the influence of the prophetic herb" he remembers nothing of what he has done when in the trance.-St- Louis Rapuhiie

English Monarchy on Its Good Behavior.
 The monarchy is accepted by the
 vast majority of Englishmen without
 any strong enthusiasm for 1t. but with
 out any desire to put an end to 1t. The
 onward march of democracy will sweep
 away the house Of lords and the estab-
 lished church; it will concentrate power
 even more than is now the case in the
 house of commons; while. by the pay ment of the members of that house, 1t
 will convert 1t from an assembly of plu-
 tocrats into one more directly in har-
 mony with the people.
 But the monarchy is likely to survive
 these changes Its abolition is not within the area of practical politics, nor will it be s1 long as those who have at
 herrt its continuance are wise in their generation. Tho monarchy has de- voted adEereats among the upper
 classes on acsRnt of its social aspect; the middle classes like 1t because they have a notion that it is respectable l; the artisans and the agricultural labor
 CTS have grievances that touch them
 more closely, and a change from a
 monarchy to republic would not so directly benefit them as the removal
 of these grievances.
 At radical gatherings, while have never observed any ardent desire to sing "God Save the Queen" have never heard any desire expressed to substitute republic for our present system. Were parliamentary candi- date to address an electoral meeting on the advantages of a republic, he would be deemed filter at a windmill, and he would be requested to favor his hearers with his views upon more prac- tical and more immediate issues.-- Henry Labouchere in Forum.
