that could be imagined. 1t lasted for
many minutes, and when it subsidized
from pure exhaustion Hill rose and with
husky voice said: Il am grateful to the

There were cries OF mo. no." and "you're

little, promising to make a statement

G ron LIFE.

On the morning which followed his
interview with the Mormon prophet,
John Ferrier went into Salt Lake City,
and having found his acquaintance,
who was bound for the Nevada noun
tsins, he intrustcd him with his mes
sage to jefferson Hope. In it he told
tho young man of the Imminent dan
ger which threatened them, and how
necessary II was that he should return.
Having done thus, he selt easier in his
mind, and returned home with n light
or heart.
As he approached his farm, he was
surprised to SEQ a horse hitchcd to
each OF tho posts of the gate. Still
more surprised was he on entering to
md W young men in possession of
his sitting-room. Cre, with u long,
pale face, was leaning back in the
rocking-chsir, with his feet cooked
upon the stove. Tie other, n bull
necked youth with coarse. bloatcd fca-
lures, was standing in front Of the
window with his hands in his pockets.

them nodded TO Terrier as he entered,
and the n in the rocling-chair COM
menced the conversation
"Maybe you don't know u.s." he said.
This here Is the son OF Elder Drebbcr,
and I'm Joseph Stangcrson. who trav-
cled with you In the desert when the
Lord stretched out His hand and gath
cred you into the true fold"
"As lie will nll the nations in Ills
own good time" said the other, in u
nasal voice; "He grindeth slowly but
exceeding small"
John Ferrier bowed coldly. He had
guessed who his visitors were.
1--WE have GOMEZ continued Stanger-
con, 'at the advice of our fathers, to
solicit the hand of your daughter for
whichever of us may seem good to you
and TO her. As ! have but four wives
and Brother Drebber here has seven it
appears to me that my claim is tho
stronger one."
"Nay, nay, Brother Stangerson,'
cried the other; 1.-THE question is not
how many wives we have, but how
many we can keep. My father has
now given over his mills to me, and l
am the richer man."
"But my prospects ara better" said
the other, warmly. "Whcn the Lord
removes my father, I shall have his
tanning-yard and his leather factory.
Then ! am your elder, and am higher

During this dialogue, John Ferrier
had stood Tuning in the doorway,
hardly able to keep his riding-whip
from the backs of his two visitors.

ing up to them, "when my daughter
you, you can come; but until
then, I don't want to see your faces
again"
The two young Mormons stared at
him i'm amazemept. In their eyes this
competition between them for the
maiden's hand was the highest of
honors both to her and her father.
"There are two ways out OF the
ROOM" cried Ferrier: there is the door,
and there Is the window. Which do
you care to usc?'
His brown face looked so savage, and
his gaunt hands SO threatening, that
his visitors sprang to their feet and
beat q hurried retreat. The old farmer
followed them to the door.

settled which it Is to be-" he said

The CLOCK Winding snnI,o.

In Persia there is q kind of snake
which is known to the natives as the
clock winding snake. 1t derives its
name from a peculiar buzzing noise
which it makes that resembles the wind
ing Of a clock. These snakes are per-
fectly harmless and frequently glide in
and out Of the houses, no attention be-
ing paid to them by the natives. Dur
ing a visit there several years ago 1
was attracted L morning by an unu-
sual twittering Of birds, and on looking
up saw about 20 sparrows on thestop
Of a wall, all jumping about in an ex-
cited manner or- '1 o. ettI
At first l was at a loss to understand
the cause of such a commotion, but
presently I heard the peculiar buzzing
of the clock winding snake and i'll a
minute perceived the reptile crawling
along the wall, making directly for the
birds, which appeared to be fascinated
and made no attempt to fly away. The
snake glided in among the birds, and
choosing one to his liking deliberately
seized it in his mouth and swallowed
it, ! picked up q stick, and after kill
ing the snake cut him open and extract
cd the sparrow. After about 10 min
utes' exposure to the sun the bird got
up, and in a few minutes more flew
away apparently unhurt. - st. Louis

The foresight Lord Rosebery display
ed in arranging his matrimonial plans
is illustrated in the following anecdote:
Shortly after he had returned from his
continental tour he was one of a house
party at MentInore, a lordly pleasure
house which Baron Meyer Rothschild
had built for himself in Buckingham
shire. One evening, at dinner, the con-
versation turned on the exquisite deco
rations of the room. Lord Rosebery's
observation to his next neighbor, by
way Of epilogue to the conversation,
was, Eyes, this place would suit me ex-
cellently. When, seven years later, he
had married the daughter Of the house
and was the owner of Mentmore, his
friend, happening to meet him, remind
ed him Of this observation. Lord Rose
berry replied with assumed gravity, but
with a ~telltale twinkle in his eye,

expected always happens. San Fran

lateral Futures Conton9ornncous with
Thought Impressed Upon tho Brain.
"a man converting in earnest, " says
Emcrcon in his essay on Mature, " IF
he watch his intellectual processes, will
find that a material image, more Y less
luminous, arises in his mind contempo-
raneous with every thought, which fur
nishes the vestment Of tho thought"
This power of forming mental images
appears to vary in strength among indi-
viduals to o considerable degree. Natu-
rally we should expect to find it power
full In poets and artists. Charles Dick
n has himself told Us that he actually
saw" his creations as he wrote, and M.
Taine mentions a painter who only look
ed ct an object while he skotched its
outline and was able to fill in the colors
from the image Of it in his mind. On
the other hand, there are peoploo of equal
intelligence who, being unable to see
such mental Wages themselves, have
doubted their existence, and Mr., Fran
els Gallon has shown that habits Of alb
stract thought, such as men Of science
and philosophers indulge in, are apt to
weaken the capacity Of forming mental
pictures.
Mr.. kirkpatrick Of Winona, MINI,
an experimental psychologist, has made
a series Of observations on this phenom-
enon with the help Of his classes. The
scholars were asked to write down just
what came into their minds when GER
tain familiar words, such as book, "
tree, " church, " were called out, and
the answers were carefully investigated
He found that the majority of the stu
dents formed distinct images Of the OBJ
iects corresponding to the words, and
the rest formed indistinct images, with
a few exceptions, who seem to have in
dulged in philosophical distractions.
Tho word ''book, " for example, called
up visions Of a Bible, q dictionary, a
novel, in all but a few scholars, who
thought of food for the mind" or ''the
thoughts Of some person" The word
tree" was represented by some kind Of
tree, more especially the illustrious cher
~ tree which George Washington cut
down. The word CHURCH usually
evoked a picture of some church in the
vicinity, but some Of the hearers thought
of a religious organization" 1t is ev-
ident from his results that most people
are ''visualizers" in thinking, while a
few are ''nonvisualizers. The tenden-
cy to form distinct images was very
conspicuous among the female students,
and in both sexes it reaches an abnor-
nal development about the ages of IA
and 10, or during the period Of Adde'S
cence, which, it has been otherwise OBJ
served, is also one Of exceptional good
health and rapid growth. The tendency
is further checked or fostered by the oc-
equations in ife.-Cassell's Magazine.

TAE PLANET A n

some Interesting Things n voyngo 20 the
Gigantic World would Disclose.
II Uranus, which is q star Of about
the sixth magnitude, wero a planet like
those little ono called asteroids, which
are being discovered by the dozen every
year, it couidnot have much claim upon
popular attention. But Uranus is really
a gigantic world, moro than 60 times
as large as ours. It's vast distance, now
about 1900. 600, 600 miles from the
earth, is what causes It to look 50 small
UraI1s has four moons, which revolve
backward in their orbits-that is to say,
thoy revolve from east to west around
Uranus, while Uranus goes, like all the
other planets, from west to east around
the sun. It is believed that Uranus ro-
tates backward on its axis also. More
over, the axis of that great, strange
globe lies in such a direction that in
the course Of its year, which is equal to
81 Of our years, the sun shines almost
perpendicularly first upon one pole and
then upon the other. Measured by our
time standard, there are 40 years of con-
slant daylight, followed by 40 years of
unbroken night, around the poles Of
Uranus. And the sun rises in the west
and sets in the east there. But the sun
looks very small when viewed from
Uranus-only one four-hundredth rs
large as it appears to us. Still it sheds
upon that planet /, 300 times as much
light as the full moon sends to the
earth, so that daylight upon Uranus,
while faint compared with the blaze of
a terrestrial MONDAY, is nevertheless a
very respectable kind of illumination.
1t is a pity that the telescope is able
to show us very little of the detail of
the surface Of Uranus. Some faint bands
or belts, just visible with the most pow
erful instruments, are all that can be
made out. If we could visit Uranus, we
should probably be greatly surprised, il
not greatly disappointed. It's average
density is but a trihe in excess of that
of water, and Of course its surface den
sity is far less,
A voyager from the earth landing OF
Uranus would probably sink almost as
rapidly as If he had leaped upon one

the meaning Of the slight density O
Uranus is that that planet is still in
vaporous or liquid condition and ex
ceedingly hot perhaps. If so, it may il
the course Of future ages contract an(
condense and cool until it comes into
condition resembling the earth's. Will
vital forces then become active upon i

LAST week we briefly announced
to our readers that President Car
not, of France, had been assassin
ated. The information was re-
ceiyed after our forms had been
closed and put on the press, and
consequently we could not give
the details. However, the report
proved too true and in point of
villianous cowardice has few
equals in the annals of crime. The
a@ssassin's name was Caesare Giov-
ami Santa, a young italian, and
and the assassination occurred
while the president was visiting
Lyons in connection with the in
ternational exhibition. At 9:25
o'clock he started for the theater
where a gala performance was to
be given. Several carriages were
in the procession, the first occu-
pied by the president. Rue de Ia
Republique was lined with enthu-
%siastlc crowds cheering loudly. A
man rushed out of the crowd,
sprang upon the step Of the presi-
dents landau. M. Carnot was
waving his right hand in response
to the ovation. People close to
the'carriage saw a blade cleaning
in the air as the ~assassin's arm de
scended, and then President Car
not fell back in his seat, his face
deathly pale. One of his hands
was pressed to his heart where the
steel had entered. NJ. Riyand, pre-
feet Of Lyons, who was seated by
President Carnot Immediately
struck the assassin a blow in the
face and knocked him from the
step, thus preventing him from
again stabbing the president, which
it was his intention to do. The
assassin was Immediately seized
and the police had difficulty in re.
straining the crowd from tearing
him limb from limb.
