Father OhrWOldef.

At the central entrance of the Refuge
home we were received by an Austrian
priest and conducted into q spacious apart
ment with whitewashed walls and marble
floor. Scarcely had we seated ourselves
before q tall, thin man, with sunken cheeks,
long black hair and struggling beard, en-
tered the 0 and greeted us kindly.
It was hard to realize at first that this
wal really Father Ohrwalder; that there
before us in actual flesh and blood was the
patient, noble, heroic martyr who had en-
dured such terrible sufferings for the last
10years; who had been intimately acquaint-
ed with the mahdi and the khalifa; who
had enjoyed the personal friendship Of Gen
eral Gordon, Emin Pasha, Slatiu Bey and
most of those whose names are as house
hold words in connection with the Soudan;
who had actually been at Ell Obeid at the
time Of the humiliation of Hicks Pasha's
army; who was familiar with every nook
and who had SO lately emerged from what
had been in literal truth ''the valley of the
shadow Of death"
Plain, simple. straightforward and unaf
fected, without the slightest trace Of self
consciousness on the one hand or of mock
modesty on the other, ready to answer all
inquiries fully, freely and without exag-
geration or reserve, Father Ohrwalder
might have been the most commonplace of
individuals for oil the pretension which he
made to the contrary.
And yet as the conversation deepened in
interest and intimacy n became gradu-
ally more sensible, not only from his words,
but from the expression Of his countenance
and from his general demeanor, hat he in
whose presence we were was no ordinary
man..-Blackwood's Magazine.

The Speed of q Cricket Ball.

The speed at which a cricket ball is de-
hvered by q fast bowler may be roughly es-
timated at Il mile q minute. When Mr.. C.
T. B. Turner, the Australian bowler, Wis
tied Woolwich arsenal, he was requested
by an official to bow through the electric
screens in use for measuring the velocity of
projectiles. 1t was found that, at a point
representing half way between the wickets,
ME velocity of Turner's ball was 81 feet per
Second, or so miles an hour. AT this rate
the ball would traverse the pitch in 2-27ths
Of a second. Several bOwlers, however, as,
for instance, Mold, the Lancashire profess
s%ional, and kortright, the Essex marvel,
bowl faster than Turner, and this would
bring the pace to the mile per minute. It
may be well understood that q batsman
has to keep all his wits about him to guard
his wickets and his body from such at
tacks as these. Scottish Referee.

A Dogs Gratitude.

A 10-year-old little girl had fallen into the
Tiber that day July 2) from the parapets
of the Ponte Margherita. The crowd who
witnessed the accident merely ran hither
and thither on the bridge and the banks
calling for some one to help the child-no-
body daring to do 80. Two policemen
spent the time in making inquiries as to
whether "it was a case Of murder or sui
eide" The child meanwhile was visibly
drowning, when a dog-a workman's mis-
cradle dog, destined to end a wretched day
in the stabularia municipale Qost dogs
yard)-leaped barking into the Tiber under
the eyes of all the screaming but useless
crowd.
The poor beast. accustomed to feed upon
street offal and to sleep in any shed it
could find, swan out to the little girl in
peril, caught her dress and drew her to the
shore. When he saw her in safety, the dog
jumped and bayed for joy, licking the
child's face and hands. 1t appears they
had been friends. The child had known
the dog in a mandatory at Pratt di Cas-
tello, and the poor animal was grateful to
her to her for some crumbs or caresses.
The crowd then cried to catch the dog to
see how an animal more brave than so
many men was made, but it ran through
their midst and disappeared. -Zoophilist.

The following incident l heard related Of
. recent banquet. Captain Wimans Of
Rhode Island was there. He is a venera-
bic looking, but lively old gentleman, with
white hair flowing down over his coat col
lar and with a face resembling that of the
late Henry Ward Beccher. The toastmas-
ter arose to introduce Captain Wimans and
jokingly said: The captain halls from that
famous state of Rhode Island. Let me see,
how many square feet Ere there in Rhode
Island, captain?"
Quick as a fash the little old gentleman
was standing, and with his white hair
flowing over his shoulders he exclaimed:
Rhode Island is not measured by feet,
sir, but by heads. Seattle Post.

Those flower lovers who's aesthetic ideas

of earth in which potted plants are grown
will rejoice to hear of a more decorative ar.

in the same way with which it is usually
filled with earth. Then plant the seeds or

The effect is not only much prettier than
that of garden mold, but the plants thrive
better in the moss. The moss absorbs lust
enough moisture to insure nourishment for
the root of the plant and 10 more-a state
