Queer Phenomena OF Failing nod,e..

! am unable to say who first noticed
the peculiar caprices Of stone or other
heavy body dropped from the top of a
high tower, but it is nevertheless curl
GUS fact that such objects invariably fall
slightly to the east of the perpendicular
line. Persons of inquiring turn of mind
who ask why this is as 1t is may find an
answer in the following: All falling bod
les partake of the earth's eastward mo-
tion to greater or lesser extent. There
fore during the time occupied by stone
in falling from the top of a high tower
or other eminence the earth's rotary mo-
tion has carried it an appreciable dis
tance to the east. The initial impetus
of the stone has carried it to the east
ward also, therefore it strikes the earth
to the east Of the perpendicular, vary
ing in degree according to the height
from which it has fallen.
A curious article on this subject NAV
be found in the Leipsic Zeitung of MAY
0. 1889, page 8. The author of the ar
ticle, who has given it the title of "The
Nonperpendicularity of High Towers"
claims that the tower on st. Peters ca
thedral at Rome leans 18 inches to the
east.-St. Louis Republic.

In Russia, where the cold is very in
tense, the markets are very curious
things. The meat is frozen; the carcases
of dead animals, as sheep and pigs, stand
upright outside the stalls; everything,
even game and poultry, requires to be
thawed before it can be cooked, and the
market peoples dress is as picturesque
as IL is warm and comfortable.
Then the rivers are frozen over all the
winter long, and so thick is the ice that
every one can skate, anywhere and any
time. Stalls are put up on the ice and
busy markets held there.
In the Asiatic part of Russia the peo-
pie live chiefly by hunting and fishing,
and the fur of the Russian animals Is
very beautiful-the ermine. fox. sable,
sea otter and others.
At the end of the winter. when the
snow melts, the huntsman pr 'ues the
elk, wearing long shoes, in which he
can glide over the snow very quickly,
while the poor elk sinks into the snow
deeper and deeper every step and is at
last overtaken and killed. Good Words.

GRANDMOTHER SAID.

@Always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave It in the middle Of the room OF
standing carelcssly."
This is what grandmother said, as often, when
boy,
I jumped up and ran out OF doors reckless
hobble-de-hoy.
always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave II in the middle OF the room or
standing carelessly."
These words, repeated long ago, come ever
fresh TO mind,
When little duties are ocrlooked or left to lag
behind.
In the daily walks Of busy life. when we think
we haven't time
To be orderly and almost look upon politeness
as n crime.
We are quite too apt, from carelessness. to
think, II not TO say,
That Il matters not IL we forget 10 set our
chairs away.
But II will be found that daily life will bo
moro worth the living
II we blend, in harmony, the precepts Of re-
ceiving and Of giving;
II No heed the tender chidings dealt out in
childhood's day,
And always "set our chair back when we arc
going away"

A Widow.

Our house servant is Japanese, po-
lite as are most of his race. Among his
duties is taking care of the chickens.
One day he CHANGED to find nest of fine
eggs at the barn, away from the chicken
yard, contributed by hen that had es-
capped from the others, and as a conse-
quence the eggs were not fertile. In ig-
norance of this fact. however, an old
lady of our household-a widow-imme-
diately put hen to "set" on them. Bid
dy stuck to business, but to no purpose.
When the required time had more than
elapsed, the lady was very much put
out and puzzled that no chickens had
been Matched. Turning to the Jap, she
said, what do you suppose is the mat
ter of those eggs, GeorgeY" George

A singular Coincidence.

The chaplain of an American Jail
vouches for the following. A little boy
was taken by his parents to visit the
prison, and on passing one of the cells
in which notorious criminal had been
incarcerated his father playfully pushed
him in and closed the door upon him.
The child, overcome by some vague ter
ror, screamed aloud and could scarcely
be comforted by his mothers caresses.
Years passed. The lad half thought
lessly fell into crime and was only re-
called to his better nature on finding
himself, having been sentenced to term
Of Imprisonment, in the identical cell
into which he had been momentarily
thrust as child.

Cannibalism In Saghalien.

The Vladivostock, newspaper pub
lished in eastern Siberia, reveals terri
ble state of affairs among the convicts on
the island of Saghalien. 1t would ap-
pear that the convicts there have been
treated by some of the subordinate prison
authorities so harshly that the governor
of the island has been obliged to inter
fere for their protection.
A warder named Khanoff and some
of his assistants, who at one time were
convicts themselves and had been raised
to the rank of jailers, have been removed
from their posts. Khanoff's treatment
of the prisoners was so abominable that
number of them crippled themselves,
cutting off fingers and toes, in order to
be treated as invalids and to be freed
from his terrible cruelties. Others fled
to the impenetrable forest, where they
suffered all the horrors of hunger.
In a satchel belonging to fugitive
convict who had been hunted down
were found some pieces of human flesh.
Investigation revealed that this man had
been one of party of four, and that
only one Of them now remained. The
others had been killed and devoured by
their comrades. Similar cases of canni-
balism are, according to the Siberian
journal, not infrequent.

got into the rigging, while others tried
to build raft. Night came on. The
storm continued to rage. The ship quiv-
cred and careened. Rockets scared up
into the believing, angry heavens. Slow
ly the vessel filed with water, and the
doomed host clinging to her deck and
rigging prepared for death. There was
no weeping and no shrieking, no wiring
ing of hands. The captain stood at the
wheel to the last.
All at once the ship, as If in an agony
of death herself, made a plunge at an
angle of 45 degrees, and with an appall-
ing shrek from the engulfed mass she
disappeared, and nearly 800 human be-

fierce waters. The scene was horrifying,

tainted at the mere memory of it.

PULLED OUT HAIR BY HAIR.
A Remarkable Story of Indian Cruelty su-

perinduced by Jealousy.
Living near this town is woman
whose prefectly bald head tells curious
story of jealousy and Indian cruelty. In
1859 Oswald Thurwald, Swedish farm
er, had home in the territory close to
the Texas border, and his family con-
sisted Of his wife, two daughters and
son. The Indians seemed friendly, pass

quenting their place to sell their wares
and to purchase such goods as Thur
wald brought out from the states for
barter. He was rapidly growing rich
and had made his preparations to move
to Dallas, where he intended 70 extend
his business, when the tragedy occurred
that destroyed his home and scattered
his family.
II seems that the chief of the Tonkawa
Indians, who visited that part of the
country from the south on raiding ex-
peditions, had seen Elsa, the elder
daughter, and fancying her offered to
buy her Of her father. But Thurwald,
though fond of money, refused, which
gave great offense to the chief. Return
ing home, he melted his people against
the Thurwalds, and the following spring
they made an attack on him. He and
his son succeeded in escaping, but the
wife and younger daughter, though they
eluded capture the first few days, were
