UHLAND'S THREE CAVALIERS.

I'll fetch thee thy goblets full foaming,
'But in yon darkened chamber the maiden

And To- as they stood in the doorway the
white
OF a shrOud and dead shrunken face met
their sight.
Then the first cavalier breathed pitiful
sigh,
And the throb of his heart seemed to melt
And he cried ''Hadst thou lived. o my pref

The next cavalier drew aside a small space.

And this was the heart cry that came with
his tears:

years!''
But the third cavalier kneeled him down in
that place,
And. as it were holy, he kissed that dead
face;
81 loved thee long years, and 1 love thee
And IN love thee, dear maiden, forever and

EATING IN SWEDEN.
The Smorgasbrod, F1adbrod and Other
Features of a Meal.

The Smorgasbrod, F1adbrod and Other
Features of a Meal
Table methods in Sweden differ from
those in most other countries. An lnStitu-
ton which exists everywhere and precedes
all meals is the so-called ''smorgasbrod."
This is high table III every restaurant
room spread with small appetizerS, such as
shrimp, anchovieS, cold roast meats, rad
dishes timed fishes and an abundance of
bread and butter. To this the guest walks
up and helps himself to his satisfaction. at
the same time ordering OF waiter what
he desires for his next later course. When
he has finished his standing meal he
takes his seat and is ready for the main
meal. which is very like what is to be
had in other countries. The visitor will
be impressed with the fresh milk, cream
and butter which are set on the table III
lavish quantities, a circumstance which
is easily explained when it is remembered
that Sweden and Denmark provide Great
Britain and some other parts Of the world
with great part of their dairy products.
The system of helping yourself also eX-
tends often to the entire meal, as at such
places as railway stations where halt
is made for dinner. A great table set
with an abundance of most excellent
viands is placed unguarded at the mercy
of the guest, who, each for himself, walks
up to the soup dish and dips out what
he wishes and takes it away for silent
by. When the soup is finished he casts
his plate aside, takes new one and goes
to the fish salver, and so on, throughout
the meal. When he is done he walks up
to the cashier, reports what he has eaten,
and pays the bill, which is never extrava-
CANT.
A feature of the table in Sweden is the
so-calIed "hadbrod," or fiat bread, which
a stranger is not apt to like. 1t occurs i'll
the form of thick wafer extended to
about the circumference of a bucket top.
1t has a hole in the middle into which
one might almost poke his head and adopt
the thing as a new mode in collars. 1t Is
mostly very dark, and is made variously,
usually from wheat, or barley, and mixed
often with mashed potatoes and peas.
In the far North it is sometimes made of
groundup bark. 1t is very brittle. cracks
under the teeth like nothing else on the
bill of fare. and tastes at times like coffee.
at other times no worse than a leftover
from last Christmas cracker. 1t is set
on the table ten or fifteen thicknesses
high, joy to those who like it and n
pest to those who do not and who would
like to see the space filled up with some
thing else.-Philadelphi Telegraph.

HOW A MAN GOES TO SLEEP.
Slumber Begins at the Feet and the Senses
Become Dormant One After Another

Slumber Begins at the Feet and the Senses
Become Dormant One After Another
"Order is heavens first law and the
old truth is manifested even in the pro-
cess of going to sleep. When a man drops
off to sleep his body does not do so at
once, so to speak. Some senses become
dormant before others and always in the
same order. AS he becomes drowsy the
eyes close, and the sense of seeing is at
rest. 1t is quickly followed by the disap-
pearance of the sense Of taste. He next
loses the sense of smell, and then after a
short interval the tympanium becomes in
sensible to sound. or rather the nerves
which run to the brain from it fail to
arouse any sense of hearing
The last sense to leave is that of touch
and in some representative people at is
hardly ever dormant. Even in their case.
however there is no discriminating power
or sense Of what touched them. This
sense is also the first to return upon aWak-
ening. Then hearing follows suit, after
that taste, and then the eye becomes able
to flash impressions back to the brain
The sense of smell, oddly enough, though
it is by no means the first to go, is the
last to come back.
The same gradual loss of power is OBJ
served in the muscles and sineWS as well
in the senses. Slumber begins at the
feet and slowly spreads up the limbs
and trunk until it reaches the BRAIN
when Inconsistencies is complete and the
whole body is at rest This is why sleep
is impossible when the feet are cold.

JAMES HOAR'S EXILE.
a Queer and Romantic Story from the
Mountains of Pennsylvania.

A Queer and Romantic Story from the
Mountains of Pennsylvania.
The death of Mrs. Jennie Hoar at her
mountain cottage back of Jumonville,
Pa, removes one of the most romantic
characters that ever dWelt in the mount
aims Of Fayette county. She was born
where she died. and her sOrrOWfully rO-
mantle life covered a term of 93 years.
Seventy years ago there came to this
county from Massachusetts young man
named James Hoar, son of a prominent
citizen Of Boston, educated at the lead
ing Eastern colleges Beyond this moth
ing could be learned of his life. He Sc
cured work as a day laborer at the old
Wharton furnace. Everything about this
ure. This fact. added to the mystery of
his life, led to the conclusion that he had
left Massachusetts for reasons which he
did not care to diyulge
One day as he was handling large
piece of metal, it broke and fell on his
leg. He was taken to the home of Ben
jamin Bronson. Bronson had a daughter
When HOar was taken to her home her
spare time was devoted to the 'are of
the new arrival. After the patient was
able to be about his attentions to Jennie
became apparent, and quiet country
wedding followed. They took up their
abode IN little log house about a mile
east of Dunbar. A household of chill
dren came to their fireside. James Hoar
had become a typical woOdsman, and
many stories of his prowess as an athlete
are still told
The tranquility of the little mountain
home was broken by the appearance of a
Southern planter named LIE Clair. He
was accompanied by his wife, and to-
gether they secured quarters at Hoar's
cabin. The latter had a daughter p
years old. lie Clair pretended to have
become enamored of the fair-haired
mountain girl. The secret of his pretend
ed love was kept from his wife, and when
LIE Clair left she disappeared. What be-
came of her is still mystery, and it is
believed that she was kidnapped by the
LIE Glars and taken South. The broken
hearted mother never recovered from her
loss, and from that time life for her was
one long sorrow. James Hoar died at
the age of SO.
1t is now known that his connection
with some of the Cape Cod pirates drove
him into this mountain exile He was a
cousin of Senator HOar of Massachusetts.
Jennie Hoar made livelihood after the
death of her husband by selling roots and

JAPANESE PAGODAS.
Earthquake-Proot, and, Therefore, Able
to Stand the Severest Shock.

Earthquake-Proof, and, Therefore, Able
to stand the Seyerest Shock.
The absence of buildings of any size
and antiquity in Japan is ascribed to the
destruction of them by the frequent earth
qual1es which occur. The only structures
which seem to be acknowledgement are
the pagodas, which are erected before
the temples. There are many pagodas
which are 100 and 800 years old and as
solid as when first built. There is a rea-
son for this. and it lies in their construc-
ton. A pagoda is practically a frame
work of heavy timbers which start from a
wide base, and is in itself a substantial
structure, but it is rendered still more
stable by a peculiar device. Inside the
framework and suspended from the apex
is a long, heavy balk of timber two feet
thick or more. This hangs from one
end and to the other end are bolted, at
each of the four sides, four more heavy
timbers. and if the pagoda be very lofty
still more timbers are added on to these.
The whole forms an enormous pendulum
which reaches to within six inches of the
ground When the shock of an earth
quake rocks the pagOda the pendulum
swings in unison and keeps the center of
gravity always at the base OF the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium of
the pagoda is never disturbed, and this
is the explanation of the great age of
many of them. when from their height
one would suppose them to be peculiarly
susceptible to the effect of an earthquake
Hitherto the long sticks of timber in
the center of the pagoda have been sup
posed to be for the purpose of supporting
the framework. 1t was not until the
recent earthquake brought them into
prominence that their purpose became
generally known among Europeans.

Against a SchooImaster.

The ways of the schoolmaster in Mon
tillana, province of Granada, Spain, are
hard. The schoolhouse in this particu-
lar place is used as a granary during the
summer vacation. A few days ago the
schoolmaster wished to begin his instruc-
ton again and wrote letters to the villag
ers who had the grain in the building,
asking politely that they remove it. The
answer was unexpected. The peasants,
angry at the assumption" of the fellow,
sto11ned his house, pulled him out into the
street and beat him badly. The excite
ment soon extended to all the people in
the hamlet, and a large mob of bowling
men, women and children gathered about
the house of the mayor. This doughty
ruler brought order out of chaos by order
ing two of his servants to chase the
schoolmaster out of town! He will not

And AL the roads are fringed with green
When larks are pouring, high. unseen,

Then l. too. with the lark would wing
My little flight and, soaring, sing.
When larks drop downward to the nest,
And day drops downward to the sea,

And l, too, turn within my door
Content TO dream, and sing no more.
