some Peculiarities of Ioebergs.

Derelicts and icebergs are among the
dangers to which vessels are constantly
exposed, the latter being perhaps the
more formidable of the two, because
there are more of them at certain sea-
sons, and there is no telling when one
of these monsters may heave in sight.
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth Of
its bulk above water. During the pres
ent season a number of these masses OF
ice-at least 100 feet high-have been
encountered by steamships. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet of its bulk below water. One cap
tain reports having seen an enormous
field of ice at least 800 feet high and
1000 feet long. 1t had evidently but
Just turned over, as the upper portion
was full of sharp angles and points, and
the water was trickling down its side.
One of the greatest dangers from ice
bergs is being in their vicinity when
they turn over. The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts Of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below SO
much more rapidly than above that the
center of gravity becomes disturbed, and
they turn with tremendous force. Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
a tidal wave and is sufficient to upset
any small craft that may be in its way.

Isil'll "a lssRnly. seildisg the Sparks ny
rs sssoin Eiss...stl, ITS Hlur feet, vanished
into the darkness like phantom
Barka, like some great NEUROLOGICAL
creature with wings, devoured space
Her fine, nervous legs hardly seemed to
touch the earth, aud Lux kept her going
at her utmost speed.
At length they stopped. Barka was
white with foam. and Lux covered her
with his cloak He did not feel the cold,
for the awful thought in his mind kept
his whole body warm and tingling
1T is yonder, he said to himself in
deep voiced growL ut is there that
they are to perish. -
At this point the road made sudden
turn. and apparently came to an abrupt
end As matter Of fact, however, it
did not terminate. but continued in a
steep, terrible slope On the right was
dark, mysterious wood, and on the left
a deep and dizzy precipice, such as are
often seen by mountain roads.
Children were afraid to pass it by
The gulf of death, as it was called, had
its legend. The old folk said that it was
within its gloomy depths the monsters
lived that ravaged the country at night
If my calculations are correct, . said
Lux in low voice, they will be here
in ten minutes.
He tied Barka to tree stem ON the
border of the wood, and strange smile
passed over his lips.
An extraordinary scene might then
have been witnessed. Lux melt down
in this solitary, accursed, haunted spot
in the nighttime and turned his face to
heaven 1t looked like sinner asking
forgiveness for his sins rather than one
planning an awful deed for the satisfac-
ton of his rage and hate
Not sound was to be heard in the
surrounding country All seemed dead
or asleep, only murmur of the wind
in the pines.
Lux placed his ear to the ground, as
the Indians do in the wilderness, and,
hearing a faint sound of hoofs in the
distance striking the hard road, he raised
his head. His face was TRANSPORTED.
AT last shall have my vengeance |"
he Kissed.
Then he crouched down on his hands
and knees and waited
A few seconds more and the carriage
with the four German officers would be
upon him.
He uttered terrible cry of "Vive la
Francer' to which Barka replied with
a joyful neigh
The carriage, which had been ap-
preaching at tremendous speed, came to
sudden stop, as if arrested by an ire
sistible force, and remained there stand
ing.
Lux had not moved an inch. He was
not a man, but stone wall
He made a last and supreme effort
and raised himself upon his legs. Then
with terrific heave he pushed over the
dizzy brink horses, carriage and men.
An awful noise rose on the still night
air, sound of crashing, cursing and
horses screaming. Then there was 81
lence, heavy, complete, tragic
The man rose and peered over the
edge into the black gulf Of death. He
saw nothing. Then he sprang into his
saddle and disappeared like shadow
into the night. From the French.

Held hv a Hair.

In a gathering of officers after the
Franco-Prussian war French officer
claimed that the French nation is the
most artistic nation on the earth, and
that her artisans can make thing OF
beauty out of anything, however ordi-
nary or crude.

teufel, who was present, plucked hair
from his shaggy beard, remarking, Let
them make something beautiful out OF
that.
The French officer sent the hair to
friend in Paris, telling him the circum-
stances and urging that, as the Prus-
slams had defeated the French In the late
war, they should not be permitted to
defeat them in the claim to artistic su-
premacy. Giving the hair to capable
artisan, with proper instructions, the
result was a beautiful scarfpin repre-
senting a Prussian eagle, artistically
wrought in gold, standing ON a rock,
and depending from his beak was sim
gle hair, at the ends of which were two
beautiful gold medallions, on one OF
which was inscribed "Alsace" and ON
the other Lorraine.
Thus the artistic scarfpin aptly de-
scribed the political situation: Prussia,
as tho eagle, with it's conquered prov
inces dependent, but held by hair, foH
the temper of the people of Alsace and
Lorraine was bitter toward the Ger
mans, and the tie which held them was
very slight.

And rich in majesty

The tresses on thy mountain brows.

Some Titan 8 only tear
Where crushing down the fern and brake
Stops low the drinking deer.

Push out from its untrodden shore;

Serene, unhaunted, let it lie.
Here may the heron plash and scream,
And here the redbird's piumage CLEAN.

That swing their ponderous scythes,
The sea when fiecked with swanlike sails
Or when it foams and writhes.

The curtain from before my soul,
More richly blest, that all may share
My sacred rights in earth and air.

Mr. Clarke repeats what is well

How a Bored Irishman Silenced Crowd
of Self Admitted Genials.
There were four of them, as genial,
good natured, whole souled retailers Of
old wives tales as ever got together in
the smoking compartment of sleeping
car. They had all fed we'll in the diner
and settled down with the anticipation
of enjoying a long evening of yarn
swapping They spread themselves over
as many of the seats of the smoker as
they could cover and crowded into a
corner large, round faced, jolly look

after dinner cigar Somehow he wasn't
amused by the stories. The narrators
spread themselves, but they couldn't
feaze him, and the bored expression on
his face grew in intensity as the stories
went on. The stories were not funny.
Once in awhile there was CLEAN of
humor, but for the most part they were
Just commonplace or vulgar. But they
seemed irresistibly humorous to the
four, who pelted their thighs and
wheezed and chorttled and roared as
each in turn finished his yarn.
At last the big Irishman could endure
it no longer, and he broke in:
THAT reminds me of the farmer who
caught three boys stealing apples in his
orchard. +"
The original four turned toward him
with a look of expectant triumph, ready
to veil at the first sign of conclusion.
"He chased them, - went on the Irish
man, "and they all ran up tree.
Come down, said the farmer, but they
wouldn't

uproariously for a second or two, and

Old Shoes For New.

Inmates Of the House of Correction,
when they are discharged from that in
stitution, are usually furnished with a
brand new pair of shoes in which to
start anew the journey Of life. The
traders stand outside the gates and wait
for these discharged prisoners. The lat
ter are not slow to part with, their new
shoes in exchange for the old ones offer
ed by the traders, not only because the
old shoes are more comfortable, but be-
cause there is a money consideration
too. The House of Correction shoes are
strongly made and command fair price
among workingmen. The traders pay a
bounty of about 30 cents, together with
the old pair of shoes in exchange for
each new pair, and they make money by
the deal. Philadelphia Record.

Simpson and Pelissier, were men of very
different character and appearance. The
one was tall, thin Scotchman; the
other a short, stout, thickset Norman.
The FIRST time they met after the capture
of the city, Pelissier rushed up to the
English general and embraced him with
great fervor, having almost to climb up
to reach his cheek. The English staff
were amused at this demonstration and
