Took no Chances.


The late Emperor Dom Pedro Of
Brazil once gave audience to a young
engineer who came TO show him a new
appliance for stopping railway engines.
The emperor was pleased with the
thing and said
1--WE will put it at once to prscti-
cal test. The day after tomorrow have
your engine ready. We will have it
coupled to my saloon carriage and then
fire away When going at full speed
l will unexpectedly give the signal to
stop and then we will see how the ap.
paratus works"
At the appointed time the emperor
entered his carriage and the engineer
mounted his engine, and on they went
for considerable distance, indeed the
young engineer begsn to suspect that
the emperor had fallen asleep. when
the train suddenly came to sharp
curve round the edge Of a cliff, on
turning which the drive; saw to his
horror an immense bowlder lying on
the rails.
He had just sufficient presence Of
mind to turn the crank Of his brake
and pull up the engine within couple
Of yards Of the fatal block.
Here the emperor put his head out
Of the window and asked what they
were stopping for. The engineer
pointed to the piece Of rock, on seeing
which Dom Pedro burst into merry
laugh.
Push the thing on one side ne
called out to the engineer, who had
jumped down from the locomotive, and
when the latter in bis confusion blind
ly obeyed and kicked the stone with
his foot il crumbled into dust.
1t was block Of starch that Dom
Pedro had ordered to be placed on the
rails the night before.

the English Bible is being carried on.
During last year about $4,000 Bibles,
Testaments and portions of Scripture
have been distributed by the various
home societies. Six thousand families
have been visited. About one-hfth Of
them were found without Bibles and
were supplied.
Then thousands of volumes ofScrip-
lures are being distributed among desti-
tute Sunday schools, given to the army
and navy, to immigrants, freedmen,
the poor and criminal institutions. In
this connection the blind are not lost
sight of, for fifty years ago was begun
the publication of the entire Bible in
the Boston line letter, and the books
are yet manufactured in increasing
editions and sold at price slightly
below their cost.
During last year $4,000 volumes of
the Scriptures were distributed in this
city. The city work in the di,tribu-
ton of Bibles has some interesting feat

Heathen Gods Made in England.

There has been discovered in Bir-
mingham. the very centre Of Christian
England, factory where idols are
made for heather Nationsl Many
attempts to obtain admission to the
factory have been made, but a strict
watch is kept upon outsiders anxious
to pry into the secret chambers where
the heather gods are made, and re-
porters, especially, are prevented from
entering the works.
Idols of all kinds are turned out.
representing the gods of all heathen
Nations, from Toxic to Timbuctoo.
The export trade to heathen countries
is fairly large one, although moro
gods are sent out to foreign dealers in
curios in the bazars of Cairo. Damas-
Gus, Colombo, etc, for sale TO unsus-
pecting travellers anxiousto take homo
some mementoes of their stay abroad.
The price of gods varies greatly.
You may get Birmingham made one
in a London curiosity shop for halfa
crown, or you may run up the pretty
bill of 500 for an especially ugly one.
"stolen,' according to the dealer, "by
a sailor during the Chinese warl" In
the Cairo bazar, however. the price of
first class god Of this kind may run
up from 800 to anything. A traveller
says that there is little difficulty in de-
tecting god OF native make from one
of Birmingham manufacture. The first
generally displays some slight irregu-
larity or change Of design, due to the
native working by hand, while the
Birmingham god was correct in form.
The trade in idols is kept such
close secret that il is difficult to esti-
mate the output. but there is no doubt
the trade is fairly large one, aud
that some enterprising Birmingham
men do very well in the business.

Why We stand Upright.

We are 50 accustomed to standing
upright as natural attitude that few
Of US think what special complex
mechanism is required for thispurpose.
A moments consideration will show
that the ordinary explanation Of the
erect position (the centre Of gravity
to be directly above the feet) is INSULT
cient. When a man is suddenly shot,
whether from the front or behind, be
drops on bis face. for the truth is that
there is much more weight in the front
Of the spinal column than behind II.
The fact is that when we are stand
ing large number Of powerful mus
cles doth front and back are stimuli
taneously at work, the effects Of their
action being TO neutrslize each other.
Thus, the legs would fall forward we're
it not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by the strong tendon (the
Achilles at the back Of the heel.
at the same time the muscles Of the
thigh are tightened 20 as to prevent Us

The head is prevented from dropping
on the chest by the ligaments 10 the

That the upright is not its normal
position is easily shown BY the fact
that man mods as be Is falling asleep;

How He Lost a Finger.

An old soldier who bears the scars
of several wounds received in the late
unpleasantness, was speaking to the
writer about odd incidents of the war,
and among other things SAID:
Courage is so different in different
people that l have been often sur
prised to see exhibitions Of bravery In
unlooked-for quarters. There is
man who used to live in Marion, Ohio,
who has the index finger Of his right
hand missing and, if asked the manner
of its loss, will simply say that he lost
it in the Civil War. The story Of the
affair is peculiar, though am told
that there are instances OF the same
nature that have occurred. He was
married few months when the call
for volunteers was issued, and he
yearned to respond to his countrys
invitation. His wife put her foot
down at once and said that he should
not 90. Two months passed, and as
the stories came from the front OF the
roaring Of cannon and Of blood being
split, William, for that was his name,
vowed that he would 60 to the scene
of battle. One night his wife saw him
get up in hi. sleep and, putting him
self in heroic attitude, extend his
hand as though it clutched a sword,
and cry Forward This preyed on
her mind so that the night afterward
she asked him if he fully intended to
join the army. He replied emphatic
ally that he did.
"That night when William slept she
arose and with stealthy step and de-
termined look took a hatchet from un-
der the bed ard came to the side OF
her sleeping husband. She noted the
ealmness Of his countenance and bent
and kissed his forehead as a tear
coursed down her cheek. Then she
took the index finger Of his right hand
and, separating it from the others,
laid it upon the side rail and brought
the hatchet down with such force as
to sever the digit. William awoke,
and what he said is not recorded, but
he was made of sterner stuff than his
better half thought. When the smoke
of battle rolled upon the field OF Bull
Run and Union hearts beat wildly IN
the first great encounter, the martial
sound Of Williams drum urged on to
glory many an Ohio man. He could
not handle musket, but he went to
war. Columbus Dispatch.

swords and fired upon at short range
with blank cartridges, the powder en-
tering the flesh and causing excruciat-
ing agony.
The executioners are powerful
brutes, fantastically clad. They seize
huge swords, which they flourish in
the air, looping off the heads of the
victims one after another Then they
retire from the scene, drenched with
blood, leaving the victims lying where
they fell.
The vultures then swoop down from
the trees above, the jackals and other
beasts emerge from the forest jungle,
and the night is made hideOus BY the
snarling and fighting over the re-
mains.
1t was one of the stipulations made
by Sir Garnet Wolseley at this time
that the Kingo Ashantee should cease
these human sacrifices. Koffee prom
ised that the useless putting to death
of innocent people, as well as tOrtur-
ing of criminals, should come to an
end.
Although the conquest of Ashantee,
which the British now have under
taken, will be expensive, it will doubt
less be thorough, and when the troops
get to CoOmassie again it would be a
good idea for them not only to burn
that town but to burn and destroy
the Grove of Skulls as we'll.

A Spy in Camp.

Darkness was Just setting down,
and the advance had halted for the
night, when squad of cavalry brought
in a young man from our front. They
said he was spy, They said it care
lessly enough, but there was an awful
significance in the term at that hour.
In camp he would have been searched,
interrogated and imprisoned 1t might
have been weeks before his trial, and
he would have been allowed every
chance for his life.
We were on the march. There had
been fighting; there would be more
tomorrow that meant drum-head
trial for the spy.
How speedily everything was ar
ranged I was at headquarters, and
saw and heard it all. Within half an
hour a court martial was convened

the face of the young man at first with

miration. l said young man. | was

eighteen. He had big blue eyes, chest
nut curls, and his cheeks were as
smooth as girls. He was a hand

in the tent felt pity for him.

What regiment p
No reply.
"Are you a citizen or soldisrf'
No reply.
"Can you make any defence to the
charge of being spy"
No reply.
The officers looked at each other
and nodded, and the president waved
his hand. 1t didn't seem minute
before file of soldiers came. The
bows face grew white, but he moved
like one in a dream. His big blue
eyes looked upon one after another,
and my heart yearned to cry out that
he was only boy and ought to be
given more time.

the boy and warn him that 1t was not
even yet too late to prove that he was
not what they believed him to be, but
the grimness of the scene parched my
tongue.

How Easily Things Go Wrong.

Alas how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much or kiss too long,
And there follows mist and a weeping rain
And life is never the same again.
Alas how hardly things go right

For the sigh will come and the kiss will stay
And the summers night Is a winters day.
And yet how easily things go right,
II the sigh and the kiss OF a winters night
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That Is born in the light of the winters day |
And things can never 60 badly wrong

For the mist. II it comes. and the weeping
rain
