Saved by q LAssO.

Death in a terrible form stared 13-year old
Charlie Rouser in the face, but he was
rescued in a manner as thrilling as it was
unique. The lad was swimming in Juniper
lake at Cynwyd, on the North Penn railroad,
and stumbled into what seemed like patch
of quicksand, concealed under the soft,
sticky mud, says the Philadelphia Record.
Despite his efforts to extr1cate himself,
young Rouser found himself slowly sink
ing. He called to his companions for help,
but they lost their heads, and instead of
trying to assist him set up lusty shouts
In the hope of bringing some men to the
rescue
Their shouts were heard by Mounted Po-
liceman Byrne, who came galloping up.
Realizing the gravity Of the situation,
the officer quickly procured rope, and
making it into loop threw it out to young
Rouser, instructing him to slip the moose
around his body under the arms. The boy
obeyed and held on to the rope frantically.
Fastening the other end around his waist.
Byrne remounted his horse an literally
dragged the boy out of the clutches Of
death, which few minutes previously had
seemed inevitable.

tor Of wealth, heaping up what has been
produced by others. He is an organizer of
industry, an inventor of new and better
methods Of employing labor and serving
the needs Of the people. And equally 80
were his predecessors of the same name.
His father, Isaac Pereire, and his uncle,
Emile Pereire, were also great organizers.
The former founded the French line of
steamers to the United States, and the son
is today president of tho Compagnie Cen
erale Transatlantique. The railroad COM
panies Of France, Spain and Austria, the
most important in Austria being the Fran
chs Joseph railroad, as we'll az many in
Switzerland and Russia, owe their success
to the Pereires. The omnibus and gas COM
panies were chiefly organized by Eugene.
He In fact inaugurated what is today known
in France as the system of grand commerce,
the system of economizing by through ship
ment on long lines.
Some 20 years ago he began to devote his
energies to banking, in which he has effect
ed great reforms. He is at the head of the
Banque Transatlantique, and his name is
held in veneration by all the bankers of
Europe. He has always been liberal pa
tron and encourager of fine arts end
sciences, of all, in short, which goes to make
France great. He is now 60 years old, in
full vigor and active work, and loved by
the people of France in a way Jay Gould
never was in America.

It appears that the Dominion census
is not complete yet. The figures from
the northern part of British Columbia
were sent to Ottawa but the other day,
and the Peace and Mackenzie sections
will not be heard from till June next.
The work Of enumeration in these far
off districts is very laborious and entails
lot of travelling. In taking the census
Of the Cassiar and Stickeen river Sec
tons Of British Columbia the enume-
rator had to 60 to Alaska and travel in
land to the Canadian border
He found the natives in state of al
most primitive barbarian and entirely
unenlightened as to Christianity. A few
Chinese had settled upon claims, but
were making very little progress. In
numbers these people will not add very
much to the figures already given, and
they will add less to the sum Of our ag-
gregate wealth.-Toronto Mail.

One on tho Boy.

Change nickel fur mel" asked the
newsboy with the frescoed face, climbing
on the platform.
"Yes," said the street car conductor;
'hand it over"
The boy handed him the coin, the official
put 1t in his pocket, gave him cents in re-
turn and punched hole in his half fare slip,
where's de tree centsi" demanded the
boy.
1.-THE cents is all right, sonny"
"But l didn't want to ride"
"What did you get on fors"
II wanted to git de change for custom
er."
"That's all right" said the conductor,
putting his tongue in his cheek and wink
ing at the passengers. you've got your
change, and you've paid your fare. You
can stay on as long as you please"
The boy, with something in his eyes that
made him wink and something in his
throat that choked him, got off and ran
back.
But let US not waste any sympathy on
him. He was only newsboy with fres-
coed face. Let US admire the conductor,
who chuckled over his little joke for the
next two blocks because there was nobody
in the car big enough to knock him down.

Trim ming without Hats.

Women have = great many ways Of
posing" the impossible. but one Of the
things that is denied to most OF them is
to make home trimmed hat that will
look like the work Of q milliner. They
understand just how it ought to look.
but when they come to work out their
understanding through their fingers
the fingers show their lack Of education
and fail to give those deft airy touches
that lend the proper air of distinction to
headgear.
A shrewd milliner in New York has
put forward the first bit Of real helpful
ness to women who must do their own
hat trimming. but are nevertheless not
DESTROYS Of having that fact proclaimed
to the world. In his showcases he has
for sale knots of ribbons and velvets of
all hues made up with the very newest
twill and twist, securely stitched and
ready to be fastened on the hat or bon
net Some Of them are designed for the
only decoration. and some need feathers
or other ornaments to complete them

bet discipline Among tho Faithful Il En-
forced.
Some years ago the Russian ambassador
at Constantinople entertained distin-
guished party at dinner, and after the dis
appearance of the comestibles, when the
soothing cigar shed its benign influence
around them and helped them or impeded
digestion beneath their respective dia-
phragms, the conversation, which had been
desultory, turned upon the discipline main
tanned in the several forces represented.
II assure you, gentlemen" said Rus
sian general who was present, that my
servant Ivan, an old campaigner, can be
dispatched upon an errand to any part Of
the town, and will tell you to an instant
the time of his return
As some appeared rather incredulous
Ivan was summoned.

placing his watch, "Now, gentlemen, he II

''Ivan!'
Az he uttered the word the servant en-
tered the apartment with the cigars.
All agreed that it was very cleverly done,
with the exception of an obese and guile
less pasha, who opined that it was nothing
out Of the way and boastfully asserted that
discipline among the faithful was, If any
thing, superior to that Of any other coun-
try, and to prove the veracity Of his state
ment announced his intention of perform
ing similar feat.
His servant was summoned accordingly.
"AN," said the pasha, II wish you to go

sian and consulting his watch, ''he leaves

THE SONG OF rHe ANGELS.

1t came upon the midnight clear.
That glorious song OF old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps Of gold.
"Peace on the earth. good will to men
From heavens all gracious king
Tho world In solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfuried:
And still their heavenly music aoats
Der all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing.
And ever DER Its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long:
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years Of wrong;
And man. at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring;
Oh. hush the noise, 70 men OF strife
And hear the angels sinai
And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low.
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look nowi for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
Oh. rest beside the weary road.
And hear the angels singl
For lol the days are Fastening On.
BY prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever circling years
Comes round the age Of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors ding.

THE LOVERS.

Upon the polished silver shine
The evening lamps. but more divine.
The light of love shines over all;
OF love, that says not mine and thine.
But ours, for ours Is thine and mine.
They want no guests to come between
Their tender glances like q screen.
And tell their tales OF land and sea.
And whatsoever may betide
The great. forgotten world outside:
They want no guests; the needs must no
Each Others own best company.

Why He Shaved or His whiske,

Why He Shaved on His WhiSkers.
The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage has at
length cleared up painful Brooklyn
mystery by telling reporter why he
shaved off his whiskers. There was a
vague suspicion that DR.. Talmage had
acted from some religious conviction,
but such. he frankly explains. is not the
case.
Dr.. Talmage shaved off his whiskers
solely in the cause of art. He had an
idea that he would look better clean
shaven than with whiskers, and that
was the whole secret of the mystery.
He also explained why he grew whiskers
originally. He was so very thin when
young, he said, that he grew beard in
order to help him cast shadow. He
at that time considered it necessary to
cast a shadow.
DR.. Talmage is not so thin now. He
can cast shadow now without the aid
Of whiskers. So. having accomplished
its sole purpose in life. the beard had to
go. DR.. Talmage did not shave to make
himself look younger. He thinks that
such articles are in vain and that no
one is deceived.
DR.. Talmage shaves himself every
morning except Sundays. His Sunday
shaving he does on Saturday night. He
has number of good razors. and he
says that good razor will sharpen itself
If let alone for few days.-New York
Herald.

Why American Girls Succeed In England.
The alleged mystery as to now it Is
possible for American girls to he 80 sue

mystery, but simply owing to their self
assertion They appraise themselves

to be ignored, all without the sacrifice
Of their dignity. The English girl does

Englishman something better than his
dog, little dearer than his horse" /
have stopped at the country house of an
English peer and seen twelve English
gentlemen ignore the existence of twelve
English ladies ut dinner every evening
for week. These men hunted all day,
talked nothing but hunt all dinner and
played cards and billiards all evening.
The fair sex were apparently a part OF
the furniture Of the establishment and
nothing more It was pitiable to see
them try to appear interested in the talk
about the days sport. asking timid ques-
tons and getting snubby answers.
This party was afterward joined BY
an American girl. After being there
two days she told me she would not
stand being ignored. She would make
the men talk to her and stay little
while in the drawing room after dinner
and abe did The next day when
they began ON their old subject
she said laughingly: ''Oh. have such

wanderings in Connecticut is Catherine
Walker, bent old woman. eighty three
years old. who wears u bingham dress
and q deep black hood. She has a
wrinkled. not unpleasant face. and looks
like any aged farmers wife in the coun-

Catherine is an excellent walker, but
she prefers to ride on railroad if she
can get a county selectman to forward
her in that way.
She says that she first started on the
road from birmingham. and has crossed
Massachusetts, and Connecticut several
times She came into Willimantic early
In the week. staid there awhile and
then told the selectmen of the town that
she had lots Of friends in Norwich who
would DO glad to see her. So the select
men bought her ticket for Norwich
and put her or board OF a south bound
train. She is such q kind, motherly
looking old woman that she had no
trouble in borrowing dollar or two of
people on the street in this town. After
. few days she informed Selectman
Lillibridge that she guessed she would

man accordingly bought q railroad
ticket for her. and she went back to

THE BELLS BENEATH THE SEA

The sea is calm. the wind is fair, y
Nor ever cloud doth lower '
The good ship speeds with the blessed bel
She bears to Boltreaux tower.
The pilot crossed his breast, and cried:
''Thank God! the harbor's near.
For vesper bells at Tintagel
Ring out their music clear.
AYE, thank the Lord for our good speed
Across the doubtful seal"
"Fool" sneered the captain. thank thysel
God holds no helm for thee"
The pilot crossed his breast, and cried.
"God pardon thee once more.
And grant that we may safely come
Unto the Cornish shore"
The captains oath was on his lips,
Or ever the sun went down,
And while the people thronged the cliffs
Above the harbor town,
A mighty wave swept DER the Yea.
With dull and sullen roar;
The good ship trembled all her length
As she sank to rise no more.
Then DER the whelming waters pealed
LAS tolling funeral knells
For those lost souls) the soft, sweet chime
OF the Forrabury BELLS
I.
The moss creeps over Boltreaux church.
Where rings no vesper lay:
Still waits the tower its blessed BELLS
And silent stands today.
For low beneath the Cornish wave.
Where tangled wrecks lie deep.
The Forrabury bells are hid
And their sweet echoes keep.
But ever 'gainst the pillows toss,
And storm winds shrek In glee;
Their muffied chimes the blessed bells
Still ring beneath tho sea.
