Smooth Sailing Ahead.

According to indications the tariff bill will
be pushed in the senate as well as in the
house. This is logical. On the one hand
the democrats must be loyal TO their pledges.
On the other, if the republicans are sincere
in their protestatious that the bill will kill
the democratic party, the sooner it is passed
and the democrats hang themselves the
better for the republicans. Everything,
therefore, points to smooth sailing.

sene oil sold in this state. The showing
fully confirms the belief that generally
prevails that immense quantities of Ian
gerous compounds, called coal oil, are
hawked about the state and sold to In
suspecting dealers and citizens. Exper-
fence the past six years has fully demon
strated the fact that the law providing
for oil inspection is not only defective,
but has only created a system of direct
taxation for the support of a few polit-
ical inspectors. 1t is needless to say
that no matter how good a law might
be passed it would be of no
benefit If tho officers charged
with its enforcement were derelict
of duty and persisted in serving time
for revenue only. THE BEE has gone
about an examination of the operation
of this law in a business-like manner.
No attempt was made at sensational an
~nouncements of the terrible results that
might be expected from the use of inn
pure and dangerous oils. We are con-
TEN with a simple, straightforward
showing of fact, that the public may be
warned against the sale of oil that has
been rejected and condemned in other
states and dumped into Nebraska, where
it is known that rigid inspection will
not be made. We do not anticipate that
this work will accomplish a great deal
in the way Of reform. But it may create
a public sentiment throughout the state
that will in time formulate a demand for
a better law on the subject, and also for
a rigid enforcement OF that law.

4 Tree on q steepie.

The spectacle Of q tree standing
upon tower of the Unitarian Church
in the city of Utica, Ny. has aroused
much interest, as well as discussion,
as to what is really essential to plant
life in order that development may
continue. e.
This mountain ash has been growing
for thirty years upon q narrow ledge
of sandstone, sprouting from Joint
in the masonry less than an inch IN
width; the main stem, Just above the
stone, at the present time has q
diameter of I've inches. The tree is
fifteen or sixteen feet in height and
possibly eight feet across its widest
port; the branches are thick and
numerous, and for some years each
autumn they have been bright with
the vivid scarlet berries peculiar TO
this species Of tree.

Mark Hillary. After Dorothea had taken
possession of her title and her .lands,he
had given up his Indian life and followed
in the next ship. =,
He still held to his opinions, but IN the
chaplain of Clancy he met a priest who
was at once learned in book lore and
possessed of good sense. Once ne SAID 10
Mark:
HMark my word, Hillary, the trouble
with you is that you never make your
self understood, and you deserve TO DC
hung. You, with an honest mans IN
stincts, have held what the Catholic
Church has always held. Had you acted
with common sense in England you
would never have gone on that wild
goose chase of yours, and had you been
less obstinate, and told folks just what
you meant, believe you would not have
been SO badly treated in America"
3You do not know them," interrupted
Mark. II believe they. would have done
the same had St. Michael and all tho
archangels been in my place."
Possibly" said the priest. "Still," he
continued, II cannot conceive Or 1nJelll-
gent men convicting Oh the charges they
did"
"But about the poem?"
@That was a work Of fantasy. Let the
literature of the coming age decide where
it shall be placed"
The Rev. Henry Granville never fully
believed that Dorothea was not witch,
and to the last day of his life was heard
expressing his opinion that it was strange
his daughter should have recovered on
"that wild, wet night" His former
health, however, recovered when his
child's strange malady left her, and in
after years he became prominent cler-
gyman Of the colonies. 1t was even said
that he preached more Of mercy and less
of justice as he grew older.
Long years after the trial In Sagnauck,
q white-sailed ship anchored in the bay
at Boston. 1t bore in its bosom the
Duke and the Duchess Of CLANCY. They
stopped for but night in the city, ans
then travelled on to Sagnauck. They
could not remain in the new world, be-
cause greater claims held them to old
ENGLAND. But when they returned to
their castle they left son in the new
world, and from him has descended the
family of New England Glancys.

but are divided into two principal di-

nakedness, and the sky-ciad Jains

formerly used to go about in q com.
plete state of nudity, but they now
wear garments of various colors and
are only sky-clad or naked when eat
ing their meals. Their former disuse
of clothing did not proceed from any
lack Of modesty, but arose from 2
curious belief in the sanctity Of naked
ness, and was also in measure SYM
bolical of freedom from the bonds of
sin and of transmigration.
The Jain religion is q very ancient

doctrines, but the Jains claim to date

undoubtedly both Jains and Buddhists
were originally dissenting Brahmins
and still resemble them in many things,
including their tenderness for animal
life, the theory Of repeated transmi- mi
grations, various hells for the purifca-
ton of the wicked, and heavens for
the solace of the good.
It is in great measure owing to
this tenderness fer animal life that In

Savage Indifference to Pain.

Generally speaking, the more. civil
lied and refined races are more sensl-
tive to pain than barbarous and un'
civilized races. This was proved by
DR.. Felkin in q series of carefully
planned experiments which he made
upon Arabs, Africans and Europeans.
The stoical fortitude Of the Arabs he
considered due to peculiar mental
characteristics, of which mental re.
preston, self-control and dogged en-
dursnce were the leading features.
The Indifference to pain in Africans, he
thought, was due TO diminished gen
eral sensibility, and he was led to be.
lieve that the relative sensibility of
Europeans, Arabs and Africans was IN
the proportion of one, two and three.
A n ew Zealander has been known to
chop off his great toes so that he might
get on a pair of boots which had been
given to him. On one occasiona native
Australian came to settlement to get
q wooden leg, his own leg being burnt
away at the knee. Ithad been wounded
so severely that amputation was neces-
sary, and as his tribe had no application
to stop the flow of blood his leg had
been simply burnt oil.

CHAPTER XVIII.
CONCLUSION.


When the next English ship sailed,
Egbert and Dorothea and the Kings
messenger were on board. The Kings
name opened all doors and drew back all
bars. The Judges, however, before they
left the council chamber returned a Ver-
dict of not guilty, so that Dorothea was
not troubled with the charge when she
reached old England.
The village Of Sagnauck grew and
spread farther into the woods around 1t.
Witches were found in other places, but
none there. After q few months Hill
lary's cabin again had an occupant and
Ingram's land was cultivated. But OF
either Hillary or Ingram the villagers
never heard, Such silence was to oe
expected. but it gave all air OF dreaml-
ness TO the story which the SagnaucK
people told to their children Of their
first and for that matters only witch.
Some Of the more dreamy young Purl-
tans would sometimes 90 out into the
meadow, and, looking over the cloud
specked field and out into the clouds in
the sky, think of Dorothea. But the
number of these was few.
In castle in England happy family
dwelt. The head Of it was Lord Oswald,
or the Duke of Clancy, which title he re-
ceived with his wife's accession OF for
tune. On state occasions his wife was
"the Duchess" but to her wide circle OF
friends she was LADY Dorothea," for
that less pretentious title suited the New
England girl the better.

One of the best known sights of Bonn

gers The hospital is located in the
centre of the most densely populated
quarter of Bombay, Black town, and
is the largest and most complete estab-
lishment of the kind in India. 1t is
supported solely by contributions from
the most wealthy members of the Jain
fraternity, and in it are received and
comfortably maintained all sick, help
less, and deformed animals of every
species. In this building the poor
brutes are we'll nursed and cared for,

all Hindoos they receive the first care
and have court and building exclu-
sively their own. In the next court
are disabled horses, while in another
sick dogs, cats and monkeys receive
medical treatment. Sheep and goats
also have q space set apart for them,
and further ON are birds, fowls, in
sects, and even reptiles, each class
having quarter distinct from the
others, where the peculiar wants and
habits of every individual inmate are
as far as possible provided for.
One visiting this hospital looks
upon a strange spectacle. Some of
the animals have bandages over their
eyes, others who are in lame or
helpless condition undergo the mas
sage treatment and are frequently
rubbed down by the attendants, and
both food and water are placed within
reach of the lame and paralyzed.
All the inmates are kept constantly
supplied with clean straw and water

enough, the four explorers who have
done most to make his country known
to the world all speak in kind terms OF
him: He has been king for twenty
three years since the death of his
father, who led the Matabele Zulus to-
their present home.
The King has always treated white
men well when they have been permit
ted to enter his country at all. Mr..
Maund, one of the explorers of Mata-
belle Land, named one of his sons
Loben, after the King. For some
wears he wore European attire, but q
long time ago he returned to the mon
KEY skins, ostrich feathers and OK hides
of his fathers. He is now about fifty
four years old, five feet eleven inches
high, and is very corpulent. He is
every inch King and warrior. But
there is no doubt that he is forced into
the war with the British by his impe'
tuous soldiers. New York Sun.

The REsp1RAroR.

Where gas poisoning has occurred
all physicians agree that the blood be-
comes impregnated with gas and the
necessity for the removal OF the gas,
from the blood is as grestas the eyacna-
ton of the lungs to complete a6speedy
recovery. With the mode used IN the
past Of causing respiration this has
been impossible for the very small
amount Of air that is drawn into the
lungs; by moving the arms dees not
.expel the air before it becomes impreg-
mated with gas, and the patient being
unable to throw it off the result is fre-
auently fatal. 4,
IN case Of drowning the machine
when applied viii draw off the water
and force pure dir into the lungs.
With the old method the patient could
not begin breathing until aiF water
had been removed from the lungs,
whereas by use Of the resuscitator the
first action draws out water, the next
forces air into the cavity thus freed
and as fest as the water disapp ppears
fresh air replaces it, setting up in-s in,s
mediate relief. u.
81 In eases Of gas poisoning the same
process follows, the gas being replaced
by the air. Both the amonnt OF ar
and the number of respirations per
minute can be regulated by the lever.
The usefulness is increased by the fact
that air can be expelled and introduced
into the lungs without the yoiition OF
the patient, especially in cases OF adj.
vanced phthisis, emphysema and
asthma, where the effort Of breathing
proves great source of waste and ex-
haustion. New York Herald.

tragedy only little over week before,
they would have borne her from the
courtroom in triumph.
Hillary went on. 1t thad never been his
intention, Es sSid, to desert his little
girl, and so frequently he made trips to
Sagnauck and waited about the place
until he chanced to meet ''his baby" as
he called her. Once being unable to see
her, he wrote a note and left it in
his cabin, knowing that she
freouented the old hut. This note was
the one the minister found, and sub
sequently Hillary learned that Dorothea
never received it. The night upon
which Mr.. Granville had opened the note
and read it, Hillary was waiting in hopes
of seeing his daughter. With bitter
feeling in his heart he walked by the
minister's house, and, gIancing In at the
window, saw the latter open his note.
Burning with rage, he waited until the
piece of birch bark had been laid upon
the desk near the window, and then,
breaking q pane Of glass, he seized 1t
and departed. When Dorothea told him
of her approaching marriage he began
securing furs, and followed by six In
dians, bore her marriage portion to her.
This simple explanation Of all the
mysteries surrounding Dorothea turned
the tide of popular feeling against Mr..
Granville, and all at once the tickle mul-
titude remembered that he alone had
fostered and brought the charges against
the poor girl.
As Hillary was about to leave the
stand one OF the magistrates bade him
stop and asked Of him why he had COM
PEELED his daughter to keep silent con-
corning him, especially when that silence
had been the cause Of bringing upon her
the public ignominy, which had resulted
in her insanity and the murder OF her
babe? Hillary anwered;
II wished TO be considered dead by
every white man, for was disgusted
with their canting hypocrisy? But l
never suspected that my visits would
bring so much cruelty to such sweet
girl as Dorothea. did not know OF the
whipping until it was over, for yonder
reverend gentleman took great pains to
announce the trial but one day before it
occurred, and to follow the sentence
with it's execution before an hour had
passed. When the deed was once done
I might have led the Indians to burn the
town, but that would have been my only
way Of revenge, and I did not care TO do
that"
Dorothea was then announced to be
clear from the charge of witchcraft, and
was led back to prison to await the sit
ting Of the magistrates next day, when
she would be put on trial for her life for
the murder of her babe.
