Didn't Know His Neighbor.

Jonathan has been into the Maine
woods eighteen seasons, and his occu-
patton there has been gathering spruce
gum. He builds a cabin in the fall
when he is about to begin work in a new
territory. 1t is generally a small one,
but he takes great pains to make it one
that can easily be kept warm. One
year he passed five months without see
ing a human being, and at the end Of
that time he found that another man
lad been in camp less than two miles
from his all winter. They did not see
each others tracks for the eason that
the other fellow was trapping, and con-
fined his journeyings to a valley where
large stream and it's branches gave
him a field for his operations. Two
miles away Mr.. Stone lived in his little
camp on the edge of a big spruce
growth, and in following this he went
away from, instead of toward, his
Eeighbor, the trapper. When they had
finished their seasons work and got
acquainted coming out, they told each
other of the lonesome evenings passed
IL. their respective camps.

He rushed toward her, tearing away
the blazing obstacles that interviewed
between them, but even as he laid his
hand upon her, she fell forward into
the surging sea of fire, and then the
smoke and flame closed over every
thing.
Ralph's loud cry of horror brought
the servants to the spot, and the flames
were stayed; but when they lifted I'm
ogene up, she was past all aid. In this
world she would never suffer more.
They buried her in the old graveyard
by the sea, and with her they buried
her great crime. 1t was never after

The Postal Staff and the Cats.

The cats are invariably treated with
great kindness by the postal staff.
Kittens are born in all sorts Of odd cor
ners, even occasionally under a desk
or table in the sorting Office. One cat
has successfully reared during the
present year a family of six in the regis
tered letter department, but this, of
course, is exceptional. They are gen.
orally born in the Kitchens. as there
are plenty of old wornout coats about
which makes a comfortable bed. AS
soon as they are old enough some one
requiring a cat takes one home to the
domestic hearth. There is often a keen
struggle for their possession and a
man will feed both mother and kitten
on milk and watch them with anxious
eye, only to find in the end that he is a
day too late, some one having fore
stalled him and disappeared with the
coveted pet.-Westminster Gazette.

Air Injected Under the Skin Will Float
Nan.
DR.. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in Basic,
has discovered a novel means Of saw
ing life in marine accidents, which if
generally used will probably lessen
greatly the number of lives lost by
such accidents, says the Philadelphia
Record.
His invention has been pronounced
very important by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, which in one of their
last meetings listened very attentively
to a lecture by DR.. Lanveraux upon the
new invention. The inventor does
away with all artificial belts and other
floating appliances; he proposes to in
fate the cellular texture beneath the
human skin on the breast, which, if
filled with air, forms a natural pneu-
matte belt, by the aid of which n
may not only float himself but even
support another body. The idea is said
to be perfectly practicable. 1t has been
proved that a man weighing 100 pounds,
whose specific weight is between LOS
and Ito, whose head may weigh seven
pounds, needs only about 200 cubic
inches of air within his body in order
to float with the head out of the water.
This amount of air is easily inserted
into this hollow space beneath the
skin with DR.. Schneider's aseptic syr-
inges, which will in n injection in
fate from twenty to thirty-five cubic
inches of air. The Introduction of the
point, which is only two millimeters
thick, will hardly be felt. Such a pump
is not eve necessary. 1t is much SIM
pier to use a little apparatus, also pat
ented by DR.. Schneider, which consists
of a hollow needle, a thin rubber hose
eighteen inches long, into which this
needle is inserted. A little aseptic
cotton placed into the open end of the
rubber hose is all that is necessary.
The skin is simply raised, the hollow
needle introduced into it, and then the
other end of the rubber hose is taken
into the mouth and the mans own
breath blown into it. Two deep res
pirations, which are blown into each
side of the breast, will be sufficient to
float a man, however heavy.

Judges of the oiympian Games.

Universal peace during the month of
the games was proclaimed by heralds
IN every part of Hellas, and the slight
est breaking of the sacred truce was
thought sacrilege, which deities and
men alike were bound to punish. The
Judges of b games. or ''Hellanodi-
cate" ranging from nine to twelve in
number at different times, were elected
by the cleans All who wished to be
judges were required to show not only
that they had never committed a
crime, public or private, but that they
were stainless in moral character.
Not unfrequent!y even men of distinc-
ton were excluded by this severe test
during the golden age of Hellenic
honor.-r'The Olympian Games,n by

strong passion I felt for her, but the
calm, pure, all-enduring affection that
will last through all time. Once you

dearer to a woman than her life-your
reputation-for me. Why did you do
it? Shall dare I-put upon that ac-
ton the sweetest Interpretation l can

ut would be that you did it because
you loved me-"

Trade in Bananas.

Few persons are aware of the extent
to which the banana has become popu-
larized in the United States. Accord
ing TO the statistics there were import
ed 16, 100, 127 punches of bananas in
1895, of which number 92s, 1856 lunches
came to Baltimore. 1867. 500 to Boston,
2,499, 61S to Mobile, 5,OSS. I19 to New
Orleans, 4,54S, 572 to New York and
2.026, $50 TO Philadelphia. The Balti-
more, Boston and Philadelphia supply
was from Jamaica. New Orleans and
Mobile got their supply largely from
Central America, while New York got
hers from all sources. The people find
in the banana a cheap and wholesome
article of food, which is valua BILE at
when few fruits are to be had.
