-Absalom Thayer and Miss Estelle
Flagler stood up to be married at Eng
lish, Indiana, recently. The minister
had reached that place where he turned
to the bride-elect and said: "You take
this man to be your lawful husband ?"
She answered: "No, sir, do not. You
are the first one who has asked my opin-
ion on the matter. Mr.. Thayer has been
courting my mother for more than a
year. I thought it was herself he want
ed, but it appears that he only wanted
her consent to marry me, and she con-
cluded to compel me to marry him."
The minister then said: "This ends 1t.

his or her will" The crowd broke up,
cheering for the girl.
-"In reading of the terrible havoc
wrought by the late storm on our Allan

United States navy, at the Ebbit, II
couldn't help thrill of horror at the fate
of the poor wretches that were drowned
in sight of the help that was powerless to

1t is facing death in its most dreadful
form. The forces of nature exerted

I have seen South Americans cover and
collapse in times of earthquake. They
would lose every spark of courage and
act like frightened children. The same
men would stand up, and with smiles on
their faces, stab each other with their
keen. long g-bladed knives. During the
earthquake at Charleston, s. c., old SOL
diers that had demonstrated their nerve
on many q battlefield were victims Of
abiect fear. Yankee bullets could not
make them fly, but the unseen forces
that moved On them so mysteriously
were too much for human endurance"

Before Athens.

When Joseph was carried captive
into Egypt by the Arab traders, whose
camels were laden with "spices, balm
and myrrh," the rustic Hebrew found
himself in the heart of a rich and
populous country, filed with great
cities adorned with magnificent build
ings-a country governed by ancient
and equitable laws, having venerable
church wealthy endowed, and an en-
lightened priesthood, containing num-
erous colleges and schools and teeming
with the products Of the known world.
Linens, glass, ornaments Of silver
and gold, and beautiful examples of
cabinet work and objects of art and
refinement, were of home manufacture.
Various gymnastic exercises and the
games Of draughts, ball, mora and
other well known modern amusements
were common at the same period. The
army and navy were well equipped
and drilled and furnished with power
full machines and deadly weapons.
Sculptors, painters and scrabes abound
ed and three modes of writing were
practiced.
Musical instruments were numerous
and consisted of cymbals, trumpets,
drums, harps, guitars, Tyres, flutes,
pipes and others. There were bands
Of. music, as with US. Yet Troy vas
not built until about three and half
centuries after. Two hundred years
elapsed before Athens was founded,
and 1000 before Romulous laid the
foundations of Rome, 300 before Her
cules was born and 1 200 before Pyth-
agoras wandered into Egypt and drank
from the fountains of ancient learning.

A. Heroic Little Maid,

By way of preface to the recitation
of his poem, "The Veterans Of the
South" at the Birmingham Confeder-
ate reunion, Henry Clay Fairman, ed
itor of the Sunny South, related the
following thrilling story as having
been vouched for by General N. B..
Forrest himself:
"My authority said the speaker,
"is Colonel John Goode, Of Virginia,
who related it to me and two others at
Richmond last May with the remark
that nobody ever heard the General
repeat the incident without heart
thrills and watery eyes"
Forrest (as the story goes was glow
ing under the conception of one of
those bold and unexpected enterprises
which have immortalized him as
a knight of the saddle and cavalry
captain of the frst-class.
Night was upon him and river was
before him.
The blow must be struck at once or
the opportunity of surprising the ene-
my would be lost.
At the head Of his eager and devoted
columns, he stopped at the door OF a
log cabin, and to the poor woman who
appeared in answer to his call, he
said:
my good woman, Iwant to ford the
river right away
"You can't do it," she answered !;
cts up.
A slender young girl came to the
door and said:
"I know where you can cross.
The mother frowned and interrupted {:
"No he can't, child The river s up
I tell you, and it's dangerous Dan
gerous RI
Forrest laughed at the strange word,
and the faces Of his follow ers reflected
his invincible resolve.
The girl looked bravely at the Cen
eral, and replied firmly
Mother, of course it's dangerous
But I know where he can get over |"
Madam" said the commander, III
am General Forrest. Let your daugh-
ter 90 with me. I'll send her back,
safe and sound
The child rushed forward impetu-
ously, and the anxious mother yielded:
General, I'll ride behind you, y
cried the girl, and strong arms lifted
her to her place, and the. column
pressed forward through the dark un-
der the guidance Of the womanlike
little maid.
By paths she led them a mile or two
down the river, and at length pointed
out the place where the perilous at.
tempt must be made, if made at all.
Ordering his men to halt, Forrest
rode in to test the ford.

turbulent when the horseman was neal

Diamonds In the United States.

Though diamonds will never be an
important product Of the United States
only an occasional gem Of this kind
being picked up here and there-such
vast quantities Of them are consumed
here that the geological survey has
thought it worth while to prepare a
monograph on the subject, which will
soon be issued.
The fact has been established that
the supposed diamonds found in me-
,teorites near the Canon Diablo, in
Arizona, are actually such. This is a
matter Of profound interest, indicating
as it does that such stones exist on
other planets. Some authorities as
sert that diamonds-like coal, which
is so nearly Of the same chemical con-
stitution-could not possibly come
into existence without previous vege-
table growths to generate their ma
terial. For this reason they infer
that the finding Of the gems in the
meteorites proves that there must have
been vegetable life in the place whence
the meteorites came. If there was
vegetable life there it is fair presump-
ton that there was animal life also.
All this may be untrue, but it affords
the first guess-glimpse ever obtained
into the greatest problem that man
kind has attempted to handle, namely,
the question whether life exists in
other worlds than ours.
It seems strange to take couple OF
ounces Of charcoal is ones hand and
to consider that one is handling the
pure material of the diamond. If you
could transform it into crystalline,
you could sell those few pinches of
stuff for 100000. No wonder that
chemists are eager to discover the
secret Of eAecting the change. 10
assert that they will never learn how
to make crystals of carbon would be abb
surd. My means of the voltaic bat
terry real diamonds Of almost micro
scopic size have been deposited upon
threads Of platinum. But even if q
successful process should be discover
ed, it might be chat the cost OF making
a diamond by it would be bigger than
the price of a stone Of equal size and
purity from the mines.
One recalls the experiments Of Prof.
Sage, who turned out gold pieces in
his laboratory from gold extracted
from the ashes of certain burned vege-
table substances. The result was
beautiful, scientifically speaking, but
tie expense of making in this way one
IS piece was about $25.
The value of rough gems Of all sorts
produced in this country in 1893 was
$4,000 less than the output tor td the
year before, amounting to only $751;,
600. The decrease was mainly owing
to the industrial depression. The
precious stones Of the United States
are sold in large part to tourists, who
purchase them as souvenirs Of locali-
ties visited.

Corpse Wonderfully Preserved.

One Of the most shocking chapters
in the history Of the French revolu-
tion is that vhich tells Of the desecra-
tion of the graves Of the royal rulers
of France. The remains Of these
kings and queens were stored away in
the sacred vaults of the Church of St.
Denis. They represent the deaths in
the royal line from the time Of Dago-
bert I, and among them were the re-
mains of fifty kings and an equal num-
Der of queens. They were in all con-
ditions from few scattered bones to
leathery mummies, which seemed to
defy the corroding touch Of time.
The corpse that was most remarkably
preserved was what had in life been
Henry ~. A witness who was pres
ent when the revolutionists turned
their ghoulish fury to the graves at
St. Denis says: "Any one who had
ever seen Henry's image could have
recognized him in the midst Of thou
sand bodies, his features, even though
he had been dead over 200 years, were
so little altered. It looked as if pu-
trefaction was afraid to approach the
heroic remains. Yet, the profane
hands of the Dantonites took them
from the tomb and dragged them in
the mud"
A soldier who was present cut of
portion Of the kings long beard and
another, emboldened by the act Of his
cowardly comrade, produced a pair of
forceps and pulled few of the mon,
arch teeth which he afterward sold
as relics, From the vault the remains
were taken to street corner and the
cofins placed in an upright position
against pillar, where they were in
plain view of and subjected to outra-
eeous insults of the hoodlums Of the
blood-drenched capital Of France.
Boys pelted the feeling less mummy
with stones and decayed vegetables,
men (2) prodded it with their canes
and creatures that were supposed to
be women thumped and kicked all
that the "cold, chill hand Of dealt"
had left Of ''Henry the Good" Fl.
nally a gigantic being in skirts and
petticoats, but. with no other marks
that would class it as being Of the &c.
nus homo, gender feminine, squared
of" and struck the dead face blow
sufficient to knock the head from the
shoulders and send it rolling in the
dust. This ended the horrid specta-
Gle and the remains were taken to a
room in one of the public buildings,
where they lie unburied even to this
day.-&. Louis Republic.

Valuable Receipts.

Common starch, moistened with cam
phor or arnica and placed immediate
ly on a bruisc, will prevent discolora-
tion of the skin. Camphor takes
away all the soreness, while the starch
keeps the parts cool and excludes the
air.
If troubled from too free perspira-
tion, bathe in strong solution OF soda.
Battle the eyes, when tired or weak,
in warm salt water; it will soothe and
strengthen them.
To wash wicker chairs when soiled,
use trong brine.
A salt poultice, moistened with
vinegar, will instantly relieve pain
from the sting of bee or wasp. A
paste Of common earth and water is
also good.
To remove ink and iodine stain
(while fresh) from white goods, satu-
rate the garment in kerosene oil and
put it in the sun. After an hour or
two, wash it in hot soap suds. With
two or three applications of oil and
soapy water the stains will be entirely
removed.
To prevent bedbugs, brush every
crevice with beaten white of an egg,
into which a little quicksilver has
been stirred. Attend to it in March,
and you will not be troubled with bugs.
Either red or white oak bark is ex-
cellent to keep in your water troughs
for chickens.
Equal parts of sweet oil and vinegar
make an excellent preparation for
polishing furniture.
Wash oil cloths with sweet milk and
water. =.
Eat parsley, after onions, and it will
effectually destroy any odor of the
breath.
Wash gilt frames in the water in
which onions are boiled. Two large
onions to one pint of water.
When not too bad, nasal catarrh
may be relieved by snufing tepid salt
water through the nose two or three
times day.
Calomel, sulphur and lard, mixed,
is a certain cure for sore heads in
fowls; calomel destroys the humor-
sulphur and lard heal the sores.

Did Him q Good Turn.

They were talking about scattering
seeds of kindness, doing good turns
and things Of that sort.
"About the best turn ever did a
fellow" remarked one Of the circle,
was to have him arrested"
Everybody looked incredulous, and
one young man remarked senten-
tiously that he hoped the conversa-
tion was not going to be turned into a
jest.
''I am not jesting; l mean just what
T say" was the response, in some
what nettled tone, and if you will let
me spin my yarn without interruption
you shall judge whether it was a good
turn or not. :,
''I have a friend whom / will call
Tom for the good and sufficient reason
that that isn't his name. When Tom
is sober he is quiet and well-behaved
gentleman, who will take any amount
Of pains to avoid row; but when he
gets drunk, which, I regret to say, he
does two or three times a year, he is
worse than Kansas cyclone on tear.
Well, I met him one evening coming out
Of a saloon, chock full Of fight and
whiskey.
''I did my best to play the good Sa-
maritan role with him. I tried to get
him into cab. No, he wouldn't go
into cab unless he first licked the
cab driver. In fact, he wouldn't go
home uuder any consideration unless
he first had a set-to with some
body, and he intimated that if l didn't
find him victim he would take it out
on me.
''It would have been very easy
matter to drop him but 1 didn't want
to do that because I knew that he had
cashed a check for $3.50 that day, and
that if he were left to his fate he
would surely fall into the hands OF
somebody who would go through him:
It chanced that there were couple
of policemen across the street. l
summoned one of them.
"tOficer,' I said, this man is drunk
and disorderly, and he has threatened
to assault me, and [ want you to arrest
him.
''With the assistance of the other
policeman he was dragged to the near
est police station, where my charge
against him was formally entered on
the blotter. Then he was searched
and $125-what remained of the check
he had cashed-was taken out OF his
pockets and then he was turned
into police cell to cool off and get So
Der.
"He was arraigned next morning in
Jefferson Market Police Court, where
I withdrew my charge against him and
he was, of course, discharged. He was
then sober enough to recognize the
fact that his arrest had been the means
Of saving his money for him, and he
was eternally grateful. Now he goes
around with a card in this pocket
bearing this inscription:
"sIf any good Samaritan finds me
drunk he will confer great favor on
me by summoning a policeman and
having me arrested
"The safest place for drunken man
with pocketful Of money is police
cell.
And they all agreed that he had done
the man a good turn.-Neao York Her.
