Scott's Bluffs.

Along the Nebraska River rises a
succession of beetling cliffs Of indu-
rated clay and sandstone, bearing
the semblance Of towers, castles,
churches and fortified cities. They
received the name of Scott's Bluffs
from a melancholy incident. A num-
Der of years ago, while party were
descending the river in canoes, their
frail barks were overturned, their
provisions lost or spoiled, and their
powder wet. The rifles were, of
course, rendered useless, and they
were unable to procure food by hunt
ing and had to depend upon roots
and wild fruits for subsistence.
They made their way on foot, as
best they could, suffering extremely
from hunger, until they reached Lar
amles Fork. Here, Scott, one Of the
party, was taken ill, and his compan-
ions came to a halt until he should
recover sufficiently to proceed.
While searching for edible roots,
they discovered a fresh trail of white
men, who, it was evident, had re-
Gently passed. What was to be done?
BY forced march they might over
take the travellers and thus be able
to reach the settlements in safety.
"What shall we do with Scott?"
said one. ale can't walk.
For a moment all were silent.
They realized that they were too
weak to carry him, and if they waited
for his recovery all were in danger Of
perishing from starvation and ex-
haustiOn.
ave must leave him here, some
one said, gruf1ly. ITO wait for him
means death, and to try to take him
along can't mean anything else"
1t was cruel thing to do, but it
was at length decided to abandon the
poor man to his fabe. Leaving Scott
to infer that they were in search Of
food, the whole party set off on the
trail. They succeeded in overtaking
the white men Of whom they were in
quest, but concealed their faithless
desertion Of their unfortunate COM
rade.
The following summer some of the
same party were visiting the region
again. They came suddenly upon
the bleached bones and grinninG
skull of human skeleton, which by
certain signs they recognized as the
remains of Scott. This was sixty
long miles from the place where he
/ had been left; and 1t appeared that
the wretched man had crawled that
almost incredible distance before
! death put an end to his miseries.
The wild and picturesque bluffs in
the neighborhood of his lonely grave
have ever since borne his name.

BEING A MAN MONKEY.


A Mechanical Tail Has Been Devised
Which Greatly Facilitates the Business.
had a chat the other morning
with Mr.. Arnold and the brothers
Donaldson, the monkey performers
and contortionlsts, says writer in
Pearson's Weekly
1t has long been the ambition Of
acrObats to invent a useful mechanl-
cal tail, without which no man can
properly initiate a monkey. At
length the tail has been devised.
Arnold and the Donaldsons are the
only people In the secret, and they
now hang and swing by their tails,
to the disgust Of rival man mon
keys
So like the original are their antics
and their whole get up that from a
distance 1t is impossible to tell, as
they swing from bars and ropes in
side cage, that they are not apes.
The masks they use alone cost $16
apiece, and are so naturally made
that they have even deluded the real
animal. Let one of my informants
speak for the trio:
Before we could attempt to iml-
tate a monkey In public we went
through course Of the closest study
in various geological gardens. 1t
was months before we were pro-
flclent, but then we did not consider
ourselves so until, having donned
our monkeys dress, / approached a
cage of real apes, one Of whom actu-
ally came to the bars and scratched
my head.
IAN acrobat and contortionist has
to crowd all his work into a short
space Of time, for after he has reached
81 years of age his work begins to
deteriorate. We experience no diff
Guilty whatever about blood rushing
to the head. When we begin to
train we could only hang our heads
down for half a minute, and even
then we were nearly suffocated. Now
we can hang for ten minutes and feel
no Ill effects.
"The great thing is to get the
cords Of the legs to stretch, which
they do gradually, and to loosen the
hips. So long as the cords of the
leg will give, almost anything can
be done with them. For instance,
we find it quite easy to cross the
right leg over the left, bring the lat
ter over the right shoulder and
finally crowd the toes under the
arms-a feat that looks exceedingly
difficult.
"A great deal depends upon the
backbone. BY constant practice it
can be made to bend like a whalebone
to the shape Of the letter G, either
backward or forward. One Of our
troop can spin on his head, but that
trick came to him naturally and it is
impossible to teach it. The chief
ailments which befall acrobats are
strains and the dislocation of the
hips"

railroad alone. The air was cool and
bracing and the outdoor life had
already accomplished more for him
than physic had ever done. So he
started. A couple Of miles from
where he left the party he saw pile
OF railroad ties alongside the track.
The idea struck him that that
would be good hiding-place for
bandit. AS he drew nearer to it the
desire to look behind that pile of ties
became stronger as the distance
lessened, and when he reached 1t the
impulse was nearly irresistible. Still,
some indetnable instinct told him
not to. Love Of life Is strong, even
in a man who thinks consumption is
about to take him of.
The young man obeyed the instinct
instead of the impulse.
When Jones surrendered he called
the young man out Of the crowd and
said: "See here, young man, you
were nearer death when you were
walking up the railroad track than
you would have ever known il
hadn't been caught. I was behind
that pile Of ties, If you had as
much as made move toward look
ing behind that pile you would never
have known what killed you" The
subject Of this incident now thinks
life sweeter than ever because of the
close call he had.-Helena Mont. }

Married a Century.

We have all heard of tin weddings,
celebrated after ten years of mar.
rage, Of crystal weddings after If
teen years, OF china weddings after
twenty, Of silver after twenty-five,
Of gold after fifty, and of diamond
after seventy-tve-or, as Europeans
celebrate it, after sixty-two and a
half years. But the scale of celebra-
tions does not seem to extend any
further, and one wonders what pre-
cious thing would be selected to give
its name to wedding anniversary
recently celebrated in Hungary-the
one hundredth anniversary of the
marriage Of Jean Stationary and his
wife.
This appears to be circumstance
which is entirely impossible. But the
marriage Of the aged pair is duly and
officially recorded as having taken
place in May, 1898, at which time,
according to the record, they were of
manageable age. AS in Hungary at
that time a bridegroom must have
reached the age of twenty and bride
that of fifteen, the pair must now be
at least one hundred and twenty and
one hundred and'tlfteen years old,
The one hundreth anniversary was
celebrated at the town Of Zsombolyi,
in the Banat which has for long
time allowed the venerable couple
pension in recognition Of their great
age and fidelity to each other.
Even the oldest residents of Zsom-
bolyi have no other recollection of
Jean Stationary and his wife than as
old people. Not one relative Of either
survives. Their century of welded
life is so we'll and officially attested
that many notables and Hungarian

Side by Side.

Tangier, mnch-visited town in
Morocco, opposite Gibraltar, contains
two prisons. They stand side by side,
but one is for the use of town crimi-
nails, the other being reserved for the
rogues Of che country. 1t is very odd
that the latter has three times as
many inmates as the former, in spite
of the fact that brigands Of the hills
take the place of the thieves of the
town. In England there is far more
crime in towns than in the country,
and this only shows that though it is
50 near to Europe Morocco as a whole
is not very civilized. When prison
ers are unruly in Tangiers they are
always reduced to order and obedi-
ence by starvation. No food what
ever is allowed them. Some men in
their stubbornness will hold out for
days, and few have even starved to
death. Such plan for treating OBJ
stinate prisoners would not be per-
mitted in more enlightened countries.

literally turned out Of house and home

which prescribes that any member OF
the royal family who becomes areign-

house or apartments belonging to the

The Fastest Swimmers in the World


The fastest swimmers in the world
are, of course, jewellers in the vastly
deep, but they are not fishes for all
that. They belong to the dolphin
family, which includes, besides other
interesting creatures, the porpoise,
the true dolphin, and the fierce killer
whale, or orca-this last-named ami
NAL being so cruel, and so speedy
withal, that it is looked upon by the
inmates of the sea as the scourge Of
the ocean. The rate at which the
dolphins travel is over twenty miles
an hour, and they have been seen to
keepon swimming around and around
a steamer which was going at it's
quickest. But the orca can overtake
even it's cousin, the true dolphin.

CHAPTER XVIII.

OF Ethel Dacre, Lady Charnleigh
had grown very fond; there was a
warm and sincere attachment between
them. They were useful to each 9th
er. From Leonie, Ethel learned many
of the worlds ways, little lessons in the
art of SAVIOR vivre; she acquired more
gayety, greater brightness of look and
word, some OF the bright, pretty graces
that add so great charm to life. And
from Ethel, Lady Charnleigh learned
high and holy thoughts, lessons of gem
tie wisdom that she would never have
learned from another. And yet, though
they were dear friends, although their
intimacy was of the most familiar kind,
they never as yet had INDUCED in the
usual conversation about love and
lovers.
Lady Charnleigh, so bright, so hap
ply, had certain conviction that Ethel
had some sorrow preying upon her
mind.
"Tlere is at times a listless look
about her, and | have seen her dark
eyes fill with tears. Ethel has her
secret, although she may never tell it
to me-"
