quantities of snow fell from the
mountains that the whole region
greatly suffered and many fatal dis
asters occurred. Among the latter,
the cottage of Rosa Manila was buried
beneath falling avalanche 1t was
generally supposed that she was alb
sent from home at the time of the
catastrophe. But when the snow was
at length removed, and the mystery
solved. two bodies were discovered
beneath the ruins. that of the poor
girl and that of a man still young
whom she held in last passionate
embrace. -Romance.

An Automatic Proposer.

The tendency t. reduce everything
to mechanics is rapidly invading the
precincts of morality and we may
in time be taught to be upright by
machinery if we shall not in the year
OF our Lord 1894 do so from inSpr-
zion. But here comes an ugly rumOr
that has lust enough of a tolch OF
possibility mingled with its EumOr to
make it interesting,
4 thoroughly modern PhilistinC
announces the invention Of an ''autO-
matte prOpOser," in these words: 'ln
these Practical days, when time Is
literally and metaphorically money,
we must not waste it with signing,
doubling, longing and the many
other dilatOry circumstances Of love.
CourtShip must lie compressed to re-
duCe it to legitimate, up-to date
limits | submit, then, that it
should be obligatory for all under the
age of 10, and unmarried, TO wear
my Patent Automatic PrOpOScT.
This is a small mahogany case
which contains an electric apparatus
and bells connected by wires with
the heart and wrists. dwin and
Angelina adore each other but they
dare not declare the passion which
consumes them. Edwin and Angc-
lima meet; their pulses quicken; this
is at once upon the instruments
and starts the bells of both. They
then learn that each loves the other
and the tinkling Of the automatic
proposer' is the happy precursor to
louder reals from the wedding bells. :"
Nothing could be more delightful.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE CUSTOMS OF BOUPART

Human nature cannot always keen
on the full stretch of excitement. 1t
was wonderful to both Felix and Muriel
how soon they settled down into a
quiet routine of life on the Island of
Boupari. y week passed away-two
weeks three weeks and the chances
of relief Sc emed to grow slenderer and
slenderer. All they could DO now was
to wait for the stray accident of a pass
ne ship, and then try, if possible, TO
signal il, or to put Olt in canoe, if
the natives would allow them.
Meanw lille their lives for the mo-
ment seemed fairly safe. Though for
the first few days they lived in con
stant alarm, this feeling, after time,
gave way to one of comparative Sc
curity. The strange institution of
Taboo protected them more efficiently
in their wattled huts than the whole
police force of London could have done
in Belgrayian mansion. There
thieves break through and steal, in
spite of bolts and bars and metropolitan
COHStables; but at Boupari no native,
however daring or however wicked.
would ever venture to tranSgresS the
narrow line Of white coral sand which
protected the castaways like an in
tangible wall from all outer interior
ence. Within this impalpable ring
fence they were absolutely safe from
all rude intrusion, save that of the two
Shadows, who waited upon them, day
and night, with unfaiiing willingness.
In other respects, considering the
circumstances. their life was an easy
one. The natives brought them freely

What can hC done in one city in
the world can be done in any other;
consequently the proposal which is on
foot to light London with electricity
for nothing, is Of general interest, 1t
seems that 1t costs London four shil-
lings and siXpenCe per ton to get rid
Of its refuse, the contents Of dust
bins, road -sweepingS, and that sort Of
thing. Now Frenchman has in
vented a combination Of boilers, flues,
and steam-pToduCing apparatus gen
orally that will burn this refuse Of
London ut cost o. Il shilling a ton.
The steam generated by burning
street sweepings and the contents Of
dust-bins Will be sufficient to run
dynamcs enough to light London. So,
a, well as saving three shillings and
sixpcnce a ton on getting rid Of its
refuse, London can be lighted for
nothing, which is certainly cheap
enough to satisfy the most exacting.
