Charity to watch over her n1gnu anu
day. passed the greater part Of my
time with her. l could not satiate my
self with that adoring gaze, with that
beat1tude which each word, each ges-
ture OF mine bestowed. How we'll re-
member the twilight hours when
would sit beside her, watching her pale
face blend tremendously with the shad-
oWs, While she murmured to me her
words of love like the verses of a song:
Better than God! Better than the
Virgin! Better than my life and the
life of the universal
Thus time flowed by, and tho we'd
ding day came. After the civil mar
riage they sat up an altar in her cham
Der and dressed her in rich bridal robes.
She seemed to live in an atmosphere of
perfect bliss. She was as beautiful as
day in springtime when it draws to-
ward sunset and a misty glory rises
over the hills and lakes and the drowsy-
flowers droop their heads in sleep. She
lived 20 years in that hour. I have but
to close my eyes, and see her again.
Her eyes were SO large and bright that
they seemed to efface her pale visage.
A sanity smile played upon her lips.
Her little hands were clasped as she lis
tened to the voice of the priest. Our
fingers joined, and she trembled when,
at last, she pronounced the great eyes"
for she put in it all her religion, all the
force of her being; then she sank back,
her strength exhausted. But what de-
icious fatigue, what blissful WEAKNESS!
Tenderly she whispered as she dreamed
and drew me near her lips The muir
derous shadow of death crept rapidly
onward. Her spirit wandered in the
faroff land of twilight. saw her
cheeks grow leaden hued and her tenn
pies hollow. She felt not the approach
Of death, but continued to love, to be
happy, to forget herself in her dream
divine Her head was pillowed on my
arm, and watched her dark eyes grow
wider wider yet. Her hair shone upon
the pillow like mesh of gold. The
silken bridal robe enveloped her like
cloud.
The sun had set, and the daylight
was fading when she murmured:
'sThou lowest me, Jacques? Thou low

Her voice sounds as if she had turned
back at the entrance of that mysterious
land to call to me once more-it is like
bells heard far off upon the sea. Her
body grows cold in it's rich winding
sheet, but she no longer suffers. She
repeats:

A vague smile hovers over her face,
which always wears that look of inf

ow. My heart is still. At that moment
I am all that loves in the world am

How a Snail Breathes,

The breathing operation in snail is
one of the queerest processes imaginable
and is carried on without the least SEM
blance Of lungs. The orifice through
which he takes his supply Of ''the
breath of life" is Of course called the
mouth, Notwithstanding that it is stu
ated in the side of his great suckerlike
foot. The process Of breathing is not
carried on with anything like regular
ity, as it is in most creatures, the mouth
simply opening occasionally to let in a
supply Of fresh air, which is expelled
by the same opening as soon as the pxYs
gen has been exhausted. The snaiI's
peculiar mouth is provided with a
tongue set with hundreds of fine teeth.

Another Use For Paper.

Among the latest things made out Of
paper are artificial straws for slipping
eobblers and various iced drinks. Every
body knows that real straws are apt to
be defective, but the limitations never
fail to draw. After they are rolled they
are treated with paraffin to render them
water tight and nonabsorbent. The same
patent covers mouthpiecesf for cigarettes,
which are manufactured in similar
fashion.-Philadelp Times.

No Use For Ghosts,


A young gentleman who lately left
his fathers house, having exhausted his
credit, telegraphed the other day to his
parents: ''Your son Walter was killed
this morning by a falling chimney.
What shall we do with the remains?"
In reply check was sent for ego, with
the request, "Bury them" The young
gentleman pocketed the money and had
an elaborate spree. By and by he sent
his father the following note:
have just learned that an infamous scoun-
drel named Barker sent you fictitious &C.
count of my death and swindled you out of
920- He also borrowed e10 note from me
and left the country. l write to inform you
that am still alive and long to see the paren-
tai roof again. l am in somewhat reduced cir
cumstances, the accumulations of the last five
years having been lost--a disastrous stock
speculation-and if you would only spare me
$50 would ever be thankful for your favor
Give my love to all.
A few days later the cunning youth
received the following dignifed letter
from his outraged parent:
MY DEAR SOM have buried you once, and
that is the end of it. l decline to have any
transactions with ghost. Yours in the flesh

An Umbrella.

ssShow me an umbrella, says manu-
facturer, 'sthat has holes worn in the silk
about the ring at the top, while the body
of the material is still intact throughout,
and will show YOU the owner Of an umz
brella who doesn't deserve to own one,
if it is a good one. And show me an UNI
brella that has holes in along the ribs be-
fore natural use of it should make them
come there, and will show you an own
er who carries his umbrella more for the
sake of appearance than for utility"
A wet umbrella placed handle down
drips the moisture from it at the edges
of the frame, and the material with which
it is covered dries evenly and leaves no
spot still soaked with water. If the
handle is upward. the water runs down
to one spot at the top, where the strong
cloth lining about the ring holds good
deal of it and in a comparatively short
time rots the material, and it breaks
easily.
The man who carries his umbrella
swathed in it's case when it is not called
into use by rain will soon find it wearing
out from top to bottom.
This is because of constant friction be-
tween the case and the silk, and no mat
ter of how good quality it may be the
holes will appear in 1t long before they
should, and the provider Of the umbrella
will of course be blamed for selling in
ferior or damaged goods. There are
many people SO ignorant of the proper
treatment of an umbrella that they will
actually roll it up when wet and leave
it to rot and meld until the next time
they want it for use.-New York World.

Light for Russian Jews.

An important law which will miti-
gate the severe measures to which the
Jews have been subjected in Russia
for years past has been prepared at
the ministry of the interior at ST.
Petersburg. Jews living in villages
and towns situated within the western
frontier zone, which has breadth Of
fifty versts, will have the right of con-
tinuing to reside there; whereas the
law now in force depriv-s them of this
privilege unless they settled in their
present abodes prior to October 81,
1858. The new scheme is to be dis
cussed during the next session of the
council of the empire. Meanwhile the
provincial government hive been in
structed to suspend the expulsions of
Jews The projected discussions will
extend to any decree of expulsion that
may already have been issued or have
become operative.

from the hive and, placing it over his

them shot Hutchins in the shoulder,
but he advanced with his novel Gatling
gun, and, aided by the bees, drove
the McDaniels over the line into
