THOMAS IS MARRIED.


Otomie turned and went. Watched the

sank back upon the couch and instantly
was lost in sleep, for was faint and weak
and so dazed with weariness that at the
time scarcely knew what had happened
or the purpose of our talk. Afterward,
however, it came back to me. must have
slept for many hours, for when I awoke it
was far into the night. It was night, but
not dark, for through the barred window
places came the sound Of tumult and fight
ing and red rays of light cast by the flames
of burning houses. One Of these windows
was above my couch, and standing on the
bed seized the sill with my hands. With
much pain, because of the flesh wound in
my side, drew myself up till could look
through the bars. Then saw that the
6paniards, not content with the capture Of
the teocalli, had made night attack and
set fire to hundreds of houses In the city.
The glare Of the flames was that of lurid
day, and by it could see the white men
retreating to their quarters, pursued by
thousands of Aztecs, who hung upon their
fanks, shooting ut them with stones and
arrows.
Now dropped down from the window
place and began to think as to what
should do, for again my mind was waver-
ing. Should desert Otomic and escape
to the Spaniards, if it were possible, tax
ing my chance of death at the hands of De
Garcia? Or should I stay among the
Aztecs, if they would give me shelter, and
wed Otomie? There was third choice
indeed-to stay with them and leave Oto-

Old Time Kentucky Feuds.

An unmerited atmosphere of romance
has been thrown about feuds by fanciful
writers. The plain truth is that they were
remarkable only for brutality. Most of
the killing was done from ambush. All
sorts of treachery were practiced. Open
fights rarely occurred unless one side had
big odds and the other couldn't get away
Human life simply had no value, and there
We're hundreds of men in the mountains
ready to accept employment as retainers
for any man who was able to pay them for
committing murder and to put up money
to protect them afterward Recently, in
trial of murder case brought to the
federal court from that region to this city,
a ruffianly mountaineer stated on the wit
ness stand that a man had offered him $3.50
to kill an enemy for him. The witness
haggled over the price; the proposed vic
tim was an important character, he said,
and he thought the job ought to be worth
$3.50.
But the old conditions are fast passing
away in the mountains. The light of civ
ilization is leaving fewer dark corners for
lurking feuds. Railroads run through
Bell, Breathitt and Rowan counties. The
mineral land syndicate has invaded every
mountain nook. There are newspapers i'll
Breathitt and Harlan, and three of them
in Bell. The sale of whiskey is forbidden
by vote of the people themselves in most OF
the counties where feuds ragged. The law
is more respected. Breathitt and Rowan
are especially peaceable, and the embers OF
the feud are dying elsewhere. The trade
of murder is Improbable since the chances
of being called to account have SO multi
piled.
Mountain rows that would be given little
attention if occurring elsewhere are still
written up in flaming style as 'feuds," bu
in truth the day of the genuine Kentucky
feud is gone. There are outlaws and muir
derous quarrels, but there is little prospec
of any more long sustained feuds.-Cor

Hindoo and Irish Bulls.

A correspondent in India heard a very
unctuous Hindoo police kharvari say the
other day: "When l went into the house,
saw four dead bodies. One of them was
carried away alive"
"Then you saw three dead bodies and
not four?" queried.
"No, sir" was the reply, emphatically
and reprovingly given. 81 saw four dead
bodies. The one taken away alive turned
out to be dead"
"Wbat does he meant" asked of his
European superior, an Irishman.
"He means, SOFT, that Of the four dead
men the wan carried away aloive doyed,

A CrueI Exhibition.

81 have fancied," said a woman the
other day, that the hunting field devel-
oped only a most manly sport, and one
against which no objection could be
brought, particularly in these days of
anise seed bags. Inever saw meet until
short time ago when visiting some
friends in a hunting county, but am in
no hurry to see another after my expert
ence. The field got off well, and we in ~,
carriages drove a half mile down the road
to see them cross. shortly they came, the
dogs in full cry and the riders almost
abreast. Two fences were taken and then
the course turned, and we were preparing
to go on again when delayed rider sud
denly appeared at full gallop. So the car
riages stood still to watch him.
His horse was evidently refusing to
jump, which had put him behind, and as
he approached the fence near us l could
see him dig his spurs into the horses sides
to urge him on. The animal came up mag
nificently to the very rails, when he
stopped and stood still. His rider swore
and wheeled the horse, riding back half
way across the field and then advanced
again, pounding his spurred heels against
the horse at every bound and plying his
whip vigorously across his TANKS. But
animal stopped as before when the fence
was reached. And then there ensued to
me most painful scene. The rider was
maddened and mortified beyond all con-
troll. Again and again he rode his horse
back, beating him about the neck and
head with his heavy loaded whip and using
his spurs like trip hammers, the animal
refusing every time to take the leap.
"Once the Infatuated rider gave his mount
blow above the eye that rang out like
the crack of pistol. The horse dropped
and quivered snd seemed about to fall, and
l turned my head to avoid the sight. But
he did not, and shortly raised his head to
receive more cruel thumps and blows. 1t
was contest between brute and brute,
WITH it seemed to me, the dignity on the
side of the four legged one. The animal
did not balk nor kick nor betray any
viciousness; for some horse reason he
could not take the leaps, and being denied

Mount Rainier, or Tacoma.

The grandest single peak on the Pacific

tain within the United States is Mount

Rainier, or Mount Tacoma, as it is often
called, is pyramidal peak sloping serenely
from the very beaches of Puget sound to a
point in air II, A feet above the still inland
sea in which its image is reflected The
mountain itself is So miles from the sound S
edge, the level forest land and the ridged
foothills serving as an admirably com
posed foreground to the magnificent white
mass-the high altar to heaven. Forests
denser than anything the eastern mind can
picture, somber wildernesses aptly com
pared to the forests of the carboniferous
age, shroud the lower peaks, and the giant
peak shakes his rocky shoulders free only
to be met by the cowl of eternal snow that
rests upon his brow. The white giant is a
beacon and landmark from the entrance OF
Puget sound. 1t is seen from the plains lOv

High Mountains of the East Coast.

There is a prevailing impression, even
among would be graduates, that Mount
Washington is the highest mountain in
America east of the Mississippi river.
When, where or how this idea obtained
would be difficult to say, but it is fact
nevertheless that the item most frequently
met with in the "Column of Information"
is something like this: 1.-The highest
mountain on the Atlantic coast or in the
Appalachian range is Mount Washington,
New Hampshire, height 6,2S5 feet" Take
down Tire atlas while we investigate this
high mountain question. In North Caro-.
lima alone we find IA peaks higher than
the Yankee Titan; Mount Mitchell, 6,711
feet; Balsam Cone, 6,67l; Clingman'
Dome, 6,60O; Sandy Knob, 6,5l2; Hairy
Bear, 6,567; Cat Tail peak, 6, 595; Gibbe's
peak, $3.50; Mount Alexander, GAIT;
Sugar Loaf, 6,401; Potato Top, 6,393;
Black Knob, 6,637; Mount Henry, 6,373;
Bowler's Pyramid, 1886, and Roam noun
tain, 6,31S.
From the above it will be seen that
Mount Mitchell is the monarch of the east
ern range, and that he is 432 feet higher
than the foundation of the Mount Wash
ington observatory. These measurements
are by Guyot, Mitchell and Holmes of the
United States survey, and are doubtless
correct.-St. Louis Republic.

Dust Storms Here and Abroad.

Sand and dust whirls occur in arid re-
gions in hot weather. They may be any
where from rod to several rods in diam
eter and from twenty to a thousand feet
high. They are sometimes compound-a
score or more small whirls forming awhirl-
ing circle around a common center They
are very common in India. They some
times carry up so much sand in the Sahara
and Arabia that those on whom the sand
falls are overwhelmed. They occur also in
the arid regions of the United States.
In the Magdalena valley, across the
mountains westward from Socorro in New
Mexico, during hot day in summer they
form at the head of n valley in a long,
slender, vertical column, perhaps 600 feet
high, and then travel down the valley
toward the village of Magdalena, over
which they burst sometimes, bringing lit
tie puffs of contrary winds and a shower
of fine dust. In some places group OF

Rcter as the preceding are tied down to one

Caught in His Own Trap.

Something akin to the case of the engi-
neer hoist with his own petard has hap
pened to citizen who dwells in the Rue
Blomet. This person, who is evidently a
man of much foresight and precaution,
had hit upon very ingenious system for
the discontinue of the enterprising bur
glar. He fixed up behind his door re-
volver loaded with pellets, and so arranged
as to act as small battery, which would
be fatal, or nearly so, to any one opening
the door with undue pressure or bursting
it in suddenly.
The citizen had specially careful way
of opening the door, but unluckily for
himself he had dined too well, and the
consequences may be guessed. He worked
his latchkey all right and was entering
his rooms rather energetically, when the
temporarily forgotten battery set to work
and its inventor received full charge of
pellets in the body. Although his injuries
were slight, it is not probable, consider.
ing his experience, that he will retain the
battery as permanent institution. Paris

my attention was attracted to a man at

the name of the same bride elect as the one

He was evidently a friend of the groom, for
he directed his spoon to the bride, care Of
the groom, and gave the latter's house ad-
dress. This, it appears, is a new wrinkle
of fashion frequently carried out nova
days. The innovation struck me as having
a foundation in reason. Undou btedly MANY
unacknowledged wedding gifts are such,
from the fact that the bride receives no i'm
precision from the strange names accom-
panying them. If the card becomes sepa-
rated from the gift, as easily and often
happens, there is no recognizable record
left of the donor.

According to M. Rossel, the eminent
artist in photography, beautiful blue trans
parencies may be produced by means of a
very simple process. In carrying this out,
commercial cyanotype paper is exposed be-
meath negative until the image will be
very intensely visible, when it is thoroughly
washed and placed for fifteen minutes in a
10 per cent solution of bichromate of
potash. After the print has again been
well washed it is allowed to dry, and then
rendered transparent by placing it on a
warm glass plate and treating it carefully
with paraffin. The print is now framed
between two glass plates. The cyanotype
paper employed in this case, giving white
lines on blue ground, is very easily pre-
pared; that is, plain photograph paper is
