the very top, where he balanced himself
on one foot holding the other in his

commenced the descent, and having
reached the topmost crotchets, to the
horror of the crowd below he deliber-
ately turned his back to the steeple
and stood motionless with extended
arms, his feet alone resting on the
slight projection of the crotchets.

crowd, who every moment expected to
see Ingram plunge headlong down
through the awful space. To the sur
prise of all Ingram swiftly turned
round again, catching hold of the stee.
pie by one hand and beran making the
descent in a swinging cat-like action,
to the relief of all onlookcrs. Ingram
warns any persons from initiating his
action up this special spire, as the
crotchets are nearly worn through by
the action of the weather Ingram
says he never intends ascending an.
other spire only for the purpose of
working thereon, .Rushden being the
last of many spires he has ascended."

"An Eclipse of Xirtne.n

"An Eclipse of Virtue" by Champion

contained in the March number of "Tales
From Town Topics" rather startling
exposition of the mysterious power of
love is made in this story. We find a

an ardent young lover. She philoso-

him away alone in her yacht,
Their life together is ideal but fatal,
and it only requires the appearance of a
wild little native of the San Domingo
to rob the widow of her cayilier. The
little Cuban girl is the means of bringing
the story to a tragic climax, and the
reader is made to see the possible de-
spair that results from woman's depray-
ity and mans deceit.
The story is written in brisk and
daring style, and is accompanied an un-
usually bright collection of narratives,

Indiana. 1t was there that Mars
finest faculties were developed. His
usual place at night was the largo
barn that stood about four hundred
yards from the dwelling. The master
of the house had frequent occasions to
be absent several days and nights.
Without one word or sign from any
one during the nights on these occa
sions, Mars would invariably lie across
the threshold of grandmother's door,
which opened out into a wide passage;
but as soon as the master returned
Mars resumed his usual place in the
barn.
Our grandfather was copartner in
dry goods establishment in the village,
about a mile from his home. Our
uncle, who resided with him, was chief
clerk. Mars was much attached to
him and would frequently attend uncle
there, then return. AS evening APP
preached he would go to the store, as
if to guard him on his return. In win
ter or in stormy weather, uncle would
often ride on horseback to and from
the place of business.
One stormy winter evening, with
Mars, as usual, in waiting, he hastily
| closed the store, locked the door, and
| leaped onto his horse to ride home.
| When Mars saw the horse wheeled for
home, he jumped and gently held uncle
by the pants. Thinking that Mars was
only glad at seeing him start, he shook
him off and proceeded brisltly on.
Again the dog leaped up and ratified
his teeth ominously Uncle stopped.
Mars gently wagged his tail and
trotted few steps back. Uncle pom
dered as to what he meant. He knew
the dog we'll enough to know that
something was wrong; but what? With
his eyes fixed on Mars, he slowly
started again homeward. In an instant
Mars arrested him as before. He then
turned his horses head and retraced
his way toward the store; while Mars,
| full of apparent joy, ran on before, but
still turning every moment to see if he
was followed. On they went. On com
ing again in front of the store, uncle
perceived at once the cause of the
dogs strange actions: for, although he
had locked the door, he had forgotten
to take the key out. He instantly dis
mounted and secured the key; seeing
which Mars ran homeward without
further pause, but with a look of as
sured content in his splendid eyes
which uncle never forgot.-Chicago

A Curious California weed.

In Santa Clara county, Cal, there
grows a weed called the rattlesnake
weed, 1t is so named from the story
that when rattlesnales get to fighting
and bite each other, this weed, if
eaten by them, will prevent death. 1t
grows about six inches tall, has red
stalk and slender leaves. On the top
of the stalk comes head of flowers,
and the seeds of these flowers are said
to be very annoying to one in passing
through mass of them, as they are
furnished with sharp barbs, commonly
called sticlfers. The early settlers
who had herds of sheep always made
their herdsmen keep with them bot
tie of strong tea made of rattlesnake
weed, and when any of the sheep were
bitten they were drenched with this
Tea, which always saved them.

THE STORMY PETREL.
Queer SuperstitIons sailors Entertain He

Queer SuperstitIons sailors Entertain ie-
gardinE the Bird
One of the best known of the sea
birds is the stormy petrol. tits oftehest
seen during storms, flying above the
waves in search of shclltish and other
small animals that are brought to the
surface by the tempest.
The sailors call petrels Mother
Carey's chickens" and do not view
them with much favor, owing to their
being constant companions of storms
Jack" thinks that rough weather may
be expected when he sees petrels
about and is not.quite sure that they
do not in some way cause the tempest.
When the bird is on the outlook for its
prey it seems to walk on the water.
Hence the seamen of the olden time
in allusion to Apostle Peters walking
on the water called the bird petrol,
from the Latin Petrellus, Little
Peter"
So far from the sailors being super
stitious as to the capture of another
kind of petrol, the cape pigeon, which
is of a black-and-whitec color and about
the size of tame pigeon, have

In southern ATTITUDES the cape pi
geons follow a ship in thousands, say
st. Nicholas. A common bottle corh
is tied to the end of a piece of thread
and trailed astern so that the cork
touches the water. This gives the re-
quired tautness to the thread.
AS the birds fly in clouds from side
to side astern some of them constant
ly strike the thread with their wings,
and the resistance is enough to turn
them over it, when the thread is
wrapped round the wing and the bird

On one occasion clipper ship carry

Now, the doctor was an enthusiastic
naturalist, and what to the sailors il
known as a "land lubber"-that is, he
was on his first voyage The doctor al
once took the specimen to his cabir
and made preparations to skin and pre-
serve it. In hot haste deputation Of
seamen, headed by the old, gray-hairet
sailmal1er, came aft with request tha'
the petrol be set atliberty, saying tina
otherwise the ship and all on boarC
would surely suffer.
. The doctor, somewhat surprised, in
, tended to set the bird free, but his en-

the sailors had disappeared the birt

soon became known forward among Tho
men, and the doctor was regarded witt
black looks by the crew for the re-
mainder of the voyage.
In the course of time the good shir
anchored in the IIugil river, and that
day at dinner the doctor suddenly
died.
There was a gathering of the sailors

a REMARKABLE DOG.
This Strange Story Is Said to lie True il
Every Particulars.

This Strange Story Is Said to lie True l.
Every Particular.
My grandfather once owned dog
that was cross between mastiff and
Newfoundland. He was large in size
as the largest-mentioned breed, and in
color that of an African lion, and
strange to say, had name like one.
His eyes, also, had the intelligent look
of that animal.
Mars was his name. He was noted
for his almost human intelligence. He
never was known to bark as dogs are
wont to do, but, when angry, ratified his
teeth by shaking his head violently, so
that they could be heard at distance.
This he never did except as warning,
and woe unto the intruder that passed
unheeding. His disposition was mild
and even playful with those of the
household, but friend or foe never APP
preached the house unchallengcd at
night. Mars had deep, sonorous
voice, when he chose to let it out,
which was very seldom; then it was
more akin to lions roar than to any
thing else earthly. He seemed to know
instinctively what was his duty, and
when and where his vigilance was
needed.
Our grandfather, who was clergy
man, was recommended to reside in
the country on account of feeble
health: hence the family retired for
several years to a beautiful farm in
