Twenty years ago l.. o. Titus was n
young farmer living in New York state.

reciprocated his affection. For some rea-
son, perhaps lovers quarrel. the engage

Aida @. Lewis, and she and her husband
moved west. Titus also married and fol-
lowed Horace Greeley's advice. Recently
Mr.. Lewis and Mrs. Titus died. A CORE
spondence was begun between the old
lovers OF twenty years ago, and they were

Narrowly Escaped Dissection.

Alphonso Pansard, the Frenchman who
murdered the Lelieore woman, recently at
tempted suicide in prison by gashing his
throat in a horrible manner. The injured
organ was sewed up, and after awhile,
Pansard's body having become rigid, the
medical attendant thought he was dead
and ordered the ''remains' to be carried to
the morgue. Before the doctors there
began to dissect Pansard it was discovered
that life was not extinct. Prompt me-
sures were adopted to revive him, and in a
short time he was taken back to the hos
pital, where he improved rapidly.

No Gordon sashes on tho Exchange.


The masculine sash appears this sum-
mer TO be proper subject for discus
sion, as well as popular adjunct to the
toilet OF gentlemen. The time has gone
by when decorum demands that the
waistcoat shall be worn with the Their
mometer marking the nineties. If one
may judge from the samples displayed
in the windows of the furnishers' shops,
the sash which is worn at the seaside
and in the tennis court is unlimited as
to color. But sashes of modest hue are
creeping into use in the streets Of Boston,
especially since Speaker Reed and Mr..
Lodge popularized them upon the floor
of congress.
But there is one place in Boston where
the sash may not enter. One daring
member of the Boston Stock Exchange
ventured upon the floor with his waist
envelopel in the silken adornment. He
was at once and unceremoniously hus-
tied out and warned never to appear
again upon the floor of the exchange in
such q guise. The congress OF the Uni

The time has come for the summer re-

the following experience of a Washing

seashore every summer, and had fallen

store afforded, being q moderate smoker.
with il taste for a good weed. But up
TO certain time he found it difficult to
obtain any enjoyment out of his costly
tobacco, finding that as soon as he got
near the air of the ocean the cigars be-
gan to droop and wilt, as the smokers
phrase goes, and their draught became
difficult, and the process of pulling them
became an altogether tedious operation.
One day he was smoking one of them
with good deal of difficulty on chair
on the beach when a gentleman sitting
near accosted him, saying that he had
noticed the trouble he was having with
his cigars, and that they were probably
OF an imported brand. To this the drug
glst assented, and the other, pulling o
couple of cigars from his pocket, handed

with the remark that he thought they
would go better. So the druggist lit one
of them, and in o minute was enjoying
one of the most delightful smokes he had
had since he left home. The cigar drew
finely and did not wilt as the others had
done.
He asked his new friend why it was,
and was told that il seemed imported CT
gars are SO affected by the salt air as to
lose their shape and their drawing quail
tiles, while cheap cigars or ''two-fers,"
as they are called, seem to be at their
best in such an atmosphere, absorbing
just enough of the salt air to take on a
delicious flavor. Thenceforth the drug
gist saved money by smoking nothing
but cheap cigars while he was at the
seashore, and every time he saw man
trying to smoke good cigar with the
same'luck which he had encountered he
played the ''good Samaritan" and offered
him bad one, together with the advice
to smoke none other within reach of the
air from the sea. He also found that
when he returned to town the good ci-
gars would regain their shape and quail
ity and were as enjoyable as ever, while
the others were as detestable as he had
always found them to be.-Washingto

An incident is related by an Americans
judge which illustrates the tender affcc-
ton of a bird for its young. He says that
while he and some friends were out at
Shanty creek fishing, one of the party shot
female redbird, and shortly after found
her nest containing three young ones,
which they carried to their shanty about a
mile and half away. They put the little
birds in box and set them outside the
door On waking next morning and look
ing out of the window, what should tho
party see but male redbird, singing and
chirping in his delight at having found his
young. He soon disappeared and returned
with worm in his beak, which he fed TO
the little birds. The young birds were
then put in box with one side covered
with latlls, and placed in tree; but the
male bird, nothing daunted at this, still
continued to bring food, reaching his head
through the laths and feeding the young
ones.-New York Recorder.

In his Investigations of the period of 70
variable star Algol, DR.. Seth G. Chandler
discovered some irregularities both in
brightness, period and in proper motion.
A consideration of these irregularities has
convinced him that Algol, together with
its dark companion, are revolving together
about third body nearly central in the
system in 1870 years, and that minor per
turbations Indicate, but do not prove, the
existence of still other planets in the sys-
tenn. This is the first statement with any
foundation of proof that there exist in
stellar space any systems comparable with
our solar systera. DIR. Chandler considers
that the central body, although dark, is
probably observable under favorable con-
ditions by the largest telescopes. He is
inclined also to the opinion that the evil
dence tends to show that such systems are
by no means rare in the universe.-Phila~

And the storm blown, weary birds

At night, when the snowRtorm piles

And the eastward hills CLEAN white,
lean in the vague, dim light
And listen, and sometimes hear
The feet of God draw near.

The sigh of the dropping flakes,
The far Off shrek and crash
OF the bleak, storm burdened ash,
And the leaves that fall in-scnools

In winter shelter the dreary;
Tent of his dumb, sad herds,
House of his homeless birds,

Doing the win of God.

Electric Light in African Mines.

Working by electric light in the desert
OF africa, with power furnished by coal
costing sixty dollars n ton, was the novel
subject discussed by George ID. Longstreet,
an English mining engineer. During O
bong residence in south Africa, Mr.. Long.
street travelled as far into the interior as
Livingstone did, visited number of places
which have never been seen by a dozen
white men, and in many regions found that
he was the first white man the natives had
seen.
1.-THE control of the diamond mines by
the Rothschilds," says Mr.. Longstreet, lis
entirely due to the decentralization of
the original companies. Some of them
were capitalized as high as $25, 600 900.
They are now limiting the production of
gems to the demand. Diamonds will never
go down in price, and the days Of romance
in south Africa diamond mining are past
forever. In early days the mines were di-
vided into little allotments of thirty feet
square, and each of these was sold to a cor
poration for 500,000-a neat sum for a
little land scarcely large enough to put
Rhanty on.
II have seen working for one company
and in one mine as many as 10000 naked
zulus, whose work, oddly enough, was
carried on by electric light within year
after it was invented. In those days our
chief difficulty was to prevent the thefts
of the workmen. We had an overseer for
every five men, and yet they managed to
steal large numbers of diamonds These
Zulus are born thieves All the tales of
Rider Haggard, whom l knew in south
