aGirl's Life.
Snow, my friend Mr.. So-and-so had
entirely different experiences that convert

night, many years ago, he and his family
retired. Shortly after midnight he was
awakened by the voice Of his dead wife.

about 1t for some time. As he was doing

Just doing OF to sleep, and may have

that'-just then the voice came again with
greater sternness, saying in an imperative
way, Gas. quick, quick, quickp My
friend waited no longer, but jumped from
his bed and rushed to the rooms on the
second floor where his daughters were
sleeping. There was no gas there
Down stairs he hurried, looked into the
cellar ana all about, but no gas was to be
found. He suddenly remembered IA newly
arrived Swede girl who came that day to
do housework, who was sleeping on the
third floor. Up stairs he sprang with n

and found it filled with gas In the still
ness he could hear the heavy, labored
breathing of the girl on the bed.
"lie saw no time was to be lost. Down
on his knees he got, and keeping his face
as close to the floor as possible, he crawl
ed to the window which he opened. He
then reached for the girl, and catching
her arm, which was hanging over the side
of the bed, pulled her to the floor and
through the open door to the next room,
where restoratives were applied. The girl
was asphyXiated and in ) minutes more
would have been dead. 1t took several
days for her to recover. She had tried the
old experiment of blowing ont the gas
with almost fatal results. My friend tells
me that frequently in times of danger the
warning voice of his wife comes to his res
cue. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

English Egotism.

We English, dear Lady Betty, are
a righteous race, an altogether su-
perior people.
But our neighbors do not love us.
The reason of this is simple. We
have too high an opinion of our
selves and too low an opinion of
others.
According to the popular estimate,
Americans are vulgar, French are
immoral, Russians are barbarians,
Italians are beggars, Spaniards are
cutthroats, Germans are Doors,
Greeks are sharpers, Australians
are convicts, Swiss are harpies,
Turks are unspeakable, and every
other people below contempt.
Foreigners are. in fact, deceitful,
effeminate, irreligious, immoral, un-
clean and unwholesome.
Any N Englishman is a match
for any seven of them.
The only wonder to me is that the
nations do not arise and annihilate
us.-London Truth.

an arena might resemble the Nj

of trees and rising mounds, while
again it pictured the great rocks and
caves of Thrace.
With these surroundings the com.
batants advanced, retreated, encir-
cled their adversaries or kept wild
beasts at bay, as occasion offered, or
as their courage or fear suggested.
Men combated not only with the
common brutes, but with such
monsters as elephants, rhinosceroses,
appropriateness and crocodiles. On
other occasions fiocks of game, such
as deer and war ostriches, were
abandoned to the multitude, and in

The Black of the Eye.

The invariable blackness of the pu-
pill of the eye was q puzzle to scien-
tific men until Professor Helmholtz
showed it to be the necessary effect
of refraction. Sufficient rays are re-
fiected from the bottom of the eye to
render visible the parts there situat-
ed, but since these reflected rays in
emerging from the eye must traverse
the same ocula media through which
they passed in entering the eye it is
evident that they must undergo the
same refractlon which they under
went as entering rays, only in an op-
posite direction. The result of this
is that the paths of the emerging
and entering rays coincide, and the
former will therefore return to the
source whence, as incidental rays,
they originally started. There is
nothing in the pupil to reflect light
in fact, it resembles a window look
ing into a dark room.-Brooklyn

A SONG OF SUNLIGHT.

Life and death. and the power Of love, and the
strength of laughter;
Music Of battle and ships that sail away to
the west;
All that hath gone before and all that follow
eth after;
The mad, blind struggle for gold, and the
restless seeking for rest
The brain reels round with them all, and
WEAKNESS is their name;
Come to the long. low moorland and here,
e'er the winter win it
Where the broom. like a sunlit beacon flashes
in golden flame
The music Of wind and water, of the bee and
the mountain linnet-
Blue is the sky overhead and purple the
heather about MS,
Far on the dim horizon the white sails CLEAN
in the haze,
One l. the dream within and the song that Is
ours without us.
The JOY of the sun STEPPED present, struck
free from the whirl of days.
Hark! How she sings in the fern a passionless
song of content,
The wren, now hanging a moment where the
foxglove's bells are shaken,
Now by the waters edge the iris bowed as she
went.
Weaving her melody out of the sweets by the
way she has taken.
of the river,
A song that ripples and leaps as the waters
leap in a spring.
The wind breathes low in the grass where the
threads of the gossamer CULVER,
And all the sunlit moorland is silent to hear
you sing.
Sing that life is glad, and fair are the land and
the sea,
The wonders of stars in the night and the
noOntide's golden glory.
Ours is the joy of the present: we care not what
Is to be.
And the past is dim as u dream or a half re-
membered story.

How AN Infan, school Wa. Founded.

1t is well known that the society of
Friends object to all war. This con
scientious feeling has sometimes
placed individual Quakers in an awk-
ward position.
Forinstance, during the war against
the first Napoleon a ship that was
partly owned by a Friend captured a
Dutch vessel. The long continuance
of the state of war prevented him
for several years from compromising
the owner and sailors of the seized
vessel, in accordance with his prin-
ciples.
In the meantime he invested the
money received as his share of the
prize, and when at last peace vas de-
clared he paid it over, with interest
to date, to those who had suffered by
the capture of the vessel.
Not being able to find them all, he
founded with the rest of the money
a free infant school in Amsterdam,
this being the port from which the
Dutch ship had sailed. The school
was the first of the kind set up in
the city, and it was housed in build
ing called Hollands Welfare
which was the name of the captured
vessel.-New York Journal.

Cleaning by sand Blast.

A successful method of applying
the sand blast to the cleaning of pub
lie buildings externally is found to
be by the Isl of an apparatus in the
shape of a sheet tin tube of some 3
feet length and q inches diameter,
this being bent into a goose neck
at one end and terminating in a 2
inch nozzle. A second tube, an
inch in diameter, enters the first at
the upper bend of the goose neck and
terminates about three inches inside,
being thus central with the nozzle.
The sand is fed with the proper de-
gree of directness and force through
this tube from a hopper and is pro-
jected steadily against the work by
an air blast through the outer tube.
1t is stated that with an air pressure
Of two pounds per square inch at the
nozzle IL square foot of marble will
be abraded to a depth of one thirty
second of an inch to one sixty-fourth
of an inch in one minute, leaving a
fresh clean surface.-NewYork Sun.

How to Ascend Stairs.

The manner in which people go up
stairs is productive of many ailments,
and a careful observer who under
stands the anatomy of the body would
not wonder that it is so. Notice how
much of the dead lift" there is about
it. The feet and legs are made to act
as levers, not only to force the weight
of the body up, but also the addi-
tional weight which is the result of
inertia. Instead of raising the chest
and animating the body to lift its
own weight, we bend the body near
ly double, cramping the organs, him
dering free circulation and conse-
quently easy breathing. Painting for
breath we reach the top, but in the
effort what a spectacle we present!
Going up stairs is easy and healthful
when properly done. We will not
say that it will not quicken the pulse,
for in this as in any other exercise
the rapidity and force of muscular
action determine the rate with which
the blood Is forced to and from the
heart.-Good Housekeeping.
