TWO Negroes, subterranean Swim.

Word comes from Tallahassee, Fla.l
of a miraculous escape Of two negro
fishermen from a horrible death. In
that section there is a creek that disap-
pears in the ground, then flows under a
high mound, and at distance of over
ealf mile reappears with added force,

Eace,s and scores Of negroes are found
fishing at the upper end Of the tunnel at
any time. Last week while a party Of
twelve men were there two of them,
Bill Brooks and Josh Gill, fell into the
water and were almost instantly
whirled into the underground creek by
the swift current. Their Mortified com.
panions tried to rescue them, but in
vain, and they were swept away. The
party hastily rushed to the lower end
of the land where the creek reappears
and waited to recover the bodies.
Shortly both negroes shot through,
feebIy struggling in the swift current,
showing Slight signs Of life. Several
men plunged in and brought them to
shore, and they were worked over for
an hour before they were out Of dan
ger This is the first time that such
an escape has been made. The negroes
regard it as special act Of Providence,
and revival meetings have been started
there by preachers.

Double standard Maple Sugar.

The Mohawk valley was settled by
the Dutch, as your readers know. When
the country was new Yankee peddlers
came through the settlements and pur-
chased the crop of maple sugar. On
one occasion a green Dutchman sold a
Yankee his maple sugar far below the
market price and his neighbor teased
him for being deceived. He said in re-
ply: "You wait and | will vix him
next year" The next spring he sold
his crop of sugar to the same Yankee
at the same price. When his neigh
bors rallied him he said. 7 am no fool.
I made the sap that sugar was made
from of half spring water" The green
Dutch farmer had just as much COM
mon sense as those cranks who assert
that SO cents worth of silver and an
equal amount of water will make dol
lar worth 100 cents in gold at the pres
ent Standard. G. in New York Sun.

A New York woman, an art lover, is

the marbles rather than the paintings
to which the soul responds. With the
first headless muse, whose flesh still
throbs after hundreds of years through
the draperied masses Of her thin Gre
clan robe, is established bond which
strengthens with almost every step
through the marble-lined Galerie of the
Palais du Louvre. It is a bond of the
winged Victory and the fulfillment OF
the Venus Of Milo. No statue in all the
world perhaps stands so irresistibly for
the message of womanhood as does this
Venus. From her beautiful throat. her
nobly set head and her sweet and gra.
eious mouth to her yielding but perfect

and that to see her is why. you have

look at her, and her eyes that have been
telling their secret for ages look into
yours and bid you read. They tell you
that the hand of her fashioner, some
young, hopeful enthusiast, some in"
spired master of his loved art put, all
unknowing perhaps, his very heart into
this master creation of early Greece
and of the whole world. What matters
though he be unknown? To see the
