 SAVED BY HIS HORSE.

A graphic story is told by Surgeon Capt. Grey, one of the officers who served in Rhodesia, In the attack on Mashangombis the horses began to drop, and soon thirteen lay on the ground, and 1t looked as if the men would all be killed. Evidently Capt, Turner thought so, for he virtually gave the order. "Sauve qui peut," telling every man to fight the best he could for his own hand. But though the horses continued to fall, the men escaped. Dr. Grey, to use his own words. led towards the way out" un- der a raking fire at gallop, and was closely followed by the troop.
 Very soon, however, l fell from the saddle, struck with a bullet from an elephant gun about 800 yards off. The bullet struck me on the top of the thigh, smashing the socket of the thigh-bone. breaking vein, and other wise wounding me. My horse was car red on at full speed with the rear guard, which rushed at desperate speed to clear the pocket-like entrance of the drift where the natives were rallying in the hope of killing us. As I lay on the grass, bleed ing profusely, I looked up and saw two natives aiming al me at distance of about forty feet. At the same mo- ment I saw my horse come laundering back from the drift It suddenly stop ped and came and stood over my prostrate body, covering me from the firing, and at the same time making a peculiar noise through its nostrils. I thought it had been wounded and that with the pain, noise, and confusion it had gone mad. This notion however was soon dispelled, for 1t continued to stand over me in a kneeling posture and I could see that the faithful animal had come back to protect me.
 II may remark here that this horse, which I myself selected 1 made a pet of The assegais from the approaching natives were now beginning to fly around me and thinking if I could reach my horses back I should be shot, which was preferable to being as segaied, I seized the reins put my right foot in the stirrup, and made su- preme effort to mount. And I was successful; but how I did it I do not know, for my left side was entirely paralyZed. On finding myself in the saddle. I called, Go to,my horse, which darted like an arrow towards the exit from the drift. ''-St James Gazette.

SUDDEN DEATE..

We wonder whether any statist or any doctor in great practice knows ac- curately whether there is any positive increase among the educated classes
 in the number of sudden deaths, by which we mean deaths without any recovery of consciousness from the mo- ment of seizure. We fancy it is SO though the fancy may only be born of the special notice one accords to such events and we fancy also this time with more certainty, that there is a marked change in the manner in which such incidents are regarded. Forty years ago everybody who heard of a death among his acquaintance like that of the Archbishop of Canterbury deemed it incumbent on him to pro- fess. and in many cases actually felt, a sort of horror which to-day is al most absent from mems minds.
 Conventionalism on the subject is eE- tinct, no one deplores the suddenness of the event, and those who speak

GREAT POWER SCHEME

ANOTHER CHEAT POWER SCHEME.
 The success of those who have set mighty Niagara at work has encour- aged other schemes to produce power on an enormous scale by taking ad- vantage of natural forces. One of the most interesting and important of them is to have it's headquarters in the town of Massena in St. Lawrence county in the State of New York Massena is on the south bank of the St. Lawrence riv- er nearly opposite Long Sault Island. It is on two railroads, and within easy access of the forests of Canada and the Adirondacks. The peculiar merit of the situation as a source of power is that about three miles from the St Lawrence runs the Grass river, a con siderable stream, which at this point is ~ feet lower than the St Lawrence The plan is to cut 8 canal from the St. Lawrence across a high plateau WHICH lies DeIWeeu lHe two TlNeTS ana deliver the water from it to turbines situated on the narrow strip of low land which borders the Grass river This water can be used with a forty foot head, and the supply is practical ly unlimited. It will yield more power than can now be obtained at Niagara Falls, and will do this at a compara- lively moderate cost and without deliv- ering water in such a way as to destroy the natural beauties of the scenery. From 1000 to 200, 900 horsepower can be had easily if the calculation of the engineers are correct.
 The act under which the power com pany has been formed gives unusual powers, but slipped through the legisla- ture without attracting attention The charter permits the company to ac- quire title to lands by condemnation proceedings, with the water, easements. or rights therein. They may also en- ter upon and use the ground or soil under any street. highway or road, and such right shall be continuous for such purpose, including the relaying, repairing, altering, or extending it's works, provided that suitable bridges be maintained and the surface of the roads kept suitable for public travel Several other provisions in the charter show it to be invaluable.

The United States has a large mar ket for cotton piece goods, especially sheeting and drills, in Africa, and has held 1t for some years against all com petitors. "Hardel's Museum" a Brit ish concern, has been Investigating this trade and has found that it is mainly with the markets of Africa's eastern coast, the western buying such goods from England or Germany. In the Red Sea ports American goods have ready sale, because their prices, quality con- sidered, are very moderate The lower grades are used as loin clothes in very much the same way as dhooties in In dia, whilst somewhat better ones are employed as mantles or shawls. Four or five million yards are sold annually in Arabia, where they are dyed blue, but on the African continent the na- tives use the cloth in it's original grey tint. Only one house is engaged in this particular trade in Arabia, whilst 8 dozen or more carry it on in Africa. To large extent these goods are land ed at Alden, and from thence are dis tributed to the various markets. Amer ican cotton goods have for many years taken the lead in Madagascar, but whether they will hold that market since that island has become posses sion of France is a question yet to be decided.

Wraps That Are Gay on Both Sides.

Wraps That Are Gay on Both Sides.
 Wraps for carriage, opera and doWa- ger wear were never more sumptuous than this season, and all show ampli- tude of fold and luxuriance of material. Fur is generously used, and Miss l. andYou is very likely to wonder how she can ever have the heart to leave such lovely things in the cloak room when she goes to ball. Indeed, it is quite the right thing this winter to say your good night" to the hostess after you have put yourself into your wrap, That is some compensation. It is also true that many of these handsome gar ments are made reversible. It Is 6 comfort, isn't it, to realize that we are not the only folk who turn" things? Even such rich cape as that the artist puts here was made after this manner, though it's outside was composed of al ternate rows of chinchilla and yellow lace.

The action of the Ohio Supreme court in declaring unconstitutional the me- chanic's lien law has the hearty ap- proval of the lawyers in that state. Like laws are on the statute books of several states, the general provision be- ing that those who furnish building material to contractors have a lien on the building for the value of the ma- terial furnished in the event that the contractor should fail to pay The law also protected workmen in the employ of contractors upon buildings, but the Supreme court held that the larger good is to protect the validity of honest contracts. The law as 1t stood, the lawyers say, might work hardship on innocent people, by compelling the owner of building to pay part of the bill again. In addition the law tended to breed rogues among the contrac- tors.

 The following good one is told at the expense of a prominent Fargo divine, who told some boys of the Bible lesson he was to read in the morning The boys finding the place, glued together the connecting pages. The next morn ing the minister read on the bottom of one page:
 When Noah was 120 years old he took unto himself wife, who was turning the page-"140 cubits long, forty cubits wide, built of gopher wood and covered with pitch inside and out"
 He was naturally puzzled at this, He read it again, verified it, and then said:

TRYING GOTO'S LEPROSY CURE,
 The unfortunate lepers at the pest house were never so happy since they first entered the forbidding institution on Twenty as at present. According to their own statements and the observation of the superintending l physician there seems to be good reason 1 for the lepers rejoicing. For the sufferers claim that the Goto cure--the unknown quantity in medicine brought over from Japan-has at least arrested the ra- wages of their dreadful disease, put an end to the pain and burning sensations and healed their bodies. The physician more particularly the one of healing because he has noted the change for the better and can speak bis convictions based on observation. From this it may be inferred that the remedy of ''Dr." Goto of Japan has a beneficial effect on leprosy
 "The patients are taking the cure constantly" said the doctor yesterday. 'and they are apparently comfortable and cheerful, but beyond healing the ulcers see no change in their condition. They claim that their general condition has improved, but the cure now seems to be at standstill. appetites are good and the pain and burning sensa- i tion in those who suffered have nearly totally disappeared. Only the deform- 1 ity remains. San Francisco Call.

The Baltimore Sun says: The multi plex printing telegraph, invented by Professor Henry A. Rowland, of Johns Hopkins University, will soon be put upon the market. Dr. Rowland is at present perfecting the invention and expects in short time to exhibit the instrument. He has used a synchro- nous device in his invention, and in the mechanical arrangement of the type writer has used but eight signals, the letters being produced by combinations. The current of electricity transmitting the message can be relayed, and in this matter the invention can be operated for great distances. When completed, Dr. Rowland says, the new instrument will be as convenient and as easily op- erated as the ordinary telegraphic dis patching and receiving apparatus.
