A Foretaste of Death.

A foreshadowing affecting its subject rs
with foretaste OF death was that recorded
by Charles Mackay of his friend, Mr., In
gram, founder of the London Illustrated
News Travelling together in Switzerland,
the two were witnesses one night in Cha
mounix of one of the thunderstorms that
rage with such appalling grandeur amid
those mountainous regions. Mackay's rap
lures over the scene were checked by see
ing his friend crouched in a corner on the
floor, his face pale, his hair on end with
terror. The paroNysm was succeeded by
Inconsistencies, On recovering from which
be told Mackay how, ever since he could
remember, he had been possessed Of this
unnccountable and utterly uncomfortable
horror Of a thunderstorm,
Some eight years later Mr.. Ingram was
crossing Lake Michigan when the steamer
was run into by a sailing vessel, and amid
a scene OF terror and confusion, it being
night and violent thunderstorm raging,
crew and passengers were precipitated into
the waters AS it was five hours before In
grams body, still warm with recent life,
was washed ashore, he must have been

John Barker, who fills the role of the old
Connecticut farmer in "A Nutmeg Match"
tells of an actor who once took the leading
Juvenile part in a play in which Mr.. Barker
was the chief comedian. The leading juve-
nile was vain of his mustache, whose ends
he had curled daily in BARRIERS shop. One
evening he had just been shaved, and the
barber was putting on the finishing touches,
when n fire broke out in the building in
which the shop was located. The leading
juvenile was one of the first to flee.
Ii was almost time for the performance
to begin, and he went Mt once TO the the
alter. His role required him to wear ordi-
nary street clothes and TO use no makeup.
He had hardly reached the theater when
the moment came for his entrance ON the
stage. He went on, assuming his most kill
ing air
A shout of laughter from the audience
staggered him. He turned to mirror that
was used in the scene and saw with horror
that in the excitement due to the fire the
barber had neglected to remove the curl
papers from the ends of his mustache.--

Mysterious Music.

An account of IA mysterious buzzing
sound that is frequently heard in Skookum
bay, which is now going the rounds of the
papers, reminds us of still more mysteri-
Gus sound that is heard during the sum-
mer months and always just before sun
down, on what is called Big river in Men
docino county, Cal. Another strange CO.
incidence is that the locality near which
the sound is heard TO best advantage in
both cases has the same name-viz, Cape
Horn.
The soundsin the Big river case resemble
the sweet strains of band music, heard
plainly, though apparently from great
distance. 1t is impossible to locate the
direction from which these sounds proceed,
as when several persons are listening at
once some will hear it from the air above,
some from the water below and some from
the shore ON either side Many learned and
scientific people have striven at different
times to investigate this strange phenome-
non, but though the sounds have been
heard for many years, the mystery remains
as great today as at the beginning Will
