HG Nerve Saved It's Life.

Len Henry, we'll known pioneer,
relates an adventure that is out of the
usual order. He was travelling on mar
row trail above the raging Grandc Bonde
river when he came to a landslide about
20 feet across that left no trail or even
IA niche in the smooth, PERCEPTIONS rock
The trail was so narrow that the horse
could not turn back. He was trapped
Above the 20 foot break in the trail was
a sharp crag OF oyerhanging rock. On
his saddle bow was a strong RATA 60
feet long, aud Henry is an expert in the
use of it, He stoadicd himself upon the
saddle, swung the rope over his head
and hurled il high into the air. 1t set
tied firmly over the Crag. He tried it
carefully. 1t was firm. His saddle was
a new and strong one with double
cinches. Around the horn he wound the
rope He urged the horse ON to the edge
of the precipicc.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
would not step over, but the rider drew
up the slack and pulled with all his
power. Inch by inch he drew the strain
ing horse forward till his feet slipped,
and he swung over the chasm The
rider held his breath as he looked at the
river below and the slender rope above,
but he was across the gap. He sprang
sp the trail and tugged at the reins to
aid the horse i'll gaining his feet He
pulled, and the horse lunged up into the
trail with the chasm behind. -Anacon-

Lord Palmerston and the Turl.s.

In regard to the Turks themselves,
may | venture to observe that the gen
ius Of their MANNERS and conversation
is that of yielding everything at hrst:
They begin by saying Good yes But
when you come to the matter IN ques-
ton and to its details you will find all
those fine expressions nean nothing
Like all people i'll weak position, they
respect you according to their opinion
Of your force If, however, you wisL
that force to have a permanent inhu-
ence and to be unaccompanied by dis
like, you must blend its exercise with
justice; and if you wish to arrive at a
quick result through all that ambuscade
of intrigues and doubts and fears and
prejudices which will be sure to be Sc
cretly formed against il, you must tell
the Turk what he is to do, why he is to
do it, when he Is to do ii and show him
that you only ask quietly and reasona-
bly, what you have right to demand
In this way, and this way alone, you will
do business with him. If he sees you
act thus, he will not only agree with
you, but rely upon you. - ~

CANDLE POWER.
How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Eject of a lame.

This question and ITS answer have
been until recently ef interest t. scien-
lists only. But since one method of
lighting Is competing with the other
for superiority the question Of lighting
power has seemingly become Il public
matter Low m@lv candle power: TIE
question lsYcry simple and yet mystcri-
Gus TO the laymau
Fer measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are Obtained by
III, AIS of Il Rlcase Spet. In lis most sim
pie application the experiment can be
tried easily at home. a sheet Of white
paper with grease spot IN the center
Is put into Il frame and placed between
two flames of different lighting power
for instance, NtNA,u an ordinary
candle and Il lamp.
When the frame Is equally distant
from the two uncqually bright flames,
the grease spot can be seen plainly on
both sides. BY moving the frame with
the sheet Of paper slowly toward the
less brilliant hght--that IS the candle
it will arrive finally ut point where
the grease spot has apparently disap-
pcared on both sides of the paper. This
deception must always occur when on
both sides Of the paper an equal bright
ness prevails and no side light exists.
Having reached this point it can be
ascertained how much stronger is the
light of the lamp than that Of the CALI
die.
If the candle is 20 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp 60 inches and
yet the brightness on both sides of the
paper is the same, then the light of the
lamp will be as strong as that Of nine
candles. The calculation is based upon
the distances, the figures of which arc
multiplied by themselves and then di.
vided-here, for instance, go times so
divided by 20 multiplied by 20 equals ..
This, of course, is the most primitive
method fer measuring light, but it is
the principle for all the delicate instru-
ments used in the laboratories Pear

JAMES W. JACKsON's GRAvE.-The
Marshall House tragedy was one
of the most stirring episodes of
the first part, if not of the whole
of the late war, and if the mar
tyrdom of Ellsworth is q lesson to
be taught to the young it is simply
meaningless unless the young are also
taught the martyrdom of Jackson, and
we have certainly reached the stage Of
American history, which shows us what
these two men really were. 1 believe
no drawer men ever lived; and if one
was rash so was the other rash. They
did but what they said they would do,
and doing it they gave and gave will
ingly their all to accomplish it. When
out in Fairfax at the Cults, or old jack
son place, not long ago, [ was surprised
to see that in the little Jackson family
burial plot the only mention of James
W. Jackson was his name on his dear,
good old mothers tombstone. His
grave is beneath sea of iris growing
waist high and wild, aad marked
neither by a stone, wooden slab or
stake, not even stick, whilst around
it the fences were down. The writer
of this is not one of that mans mind,
but is an Alexandrian, and as that flag
was an Alexandria flag made by Christ
ian Alexandria women from materials
purchased by popular Alexandria sub
scription, he looks upon this state of at
fairs simply as crying shame. Let's
do something. B.

In Danville yesterday at the meeting
of the Grand Lodge, K. of P, the ques-
ton of creating a tribune for the grand
jurisdiction, to hear and decide all
questions of law, etc., arising in subor-
dinate lodges was defeated.
A very tender letter was read from
MIR. w. T. Lithgrow, of Manchester,
who has filled the Office of Grand Prel-
ate for nearly two decades, expressing
his regret at his inability to attend the
Grand Lodge on account of sickness,
but saying ne hoped that he would be
permitted to die with the mantle of Of
flee still resting on his shoulders.
The election of officers was entered
upon, with the following result: Past
Grand Chancellor, W. E. Garrett, OF
Leesburg; Grand Chancellor, Harry
Wooding, of Danville; Grand Vice Chan
cellor, q. M. Darnall, of Roanoke;
Grand Prelate, W. Z. Lithgow, of
Manchester; Grand Keeper of Records
and Seal, w. A. Edwards, of Norfolk;
Grand Master of Exchequer, T. L..
Courtney, of Richmond; Grand Master
alarms, M. i. Walton, of Woodstock;
Graud Inner Guard, = Catlett; Grand
Outer Guard, - Bland, of Portsmouth.
Immediately after the election the
keeper of records and seal was auth
orized to wire Prelate Lithgow of his
unanimous reelection. After the in
stallation a recess was taken until S
o'clock.
On reassembling several reports were
submitted, resolutions adopted and the
time OF meeting changed from May to
February. The Grand Lodge then adj
journed.

THE WASHINGTON MURDER.

The eyes of Elsie Kreglo, who was
murdered in Washington on Monday,
have been removed from their sockets
and are to be submitted to scientific
process to discover if the face of the
wretch who so cruelty killed her was
photographed by natures kodak on the
retina.
An important scientific blood test in
connection with the Kreglo murder is
in progress at the labratory of the Agri-
cultural Department. Coroner G. NJ.
Hammett has sent to the microscopic
of that institution several drops of
blood taken from the body of the MUIR
dered girl yesterday. He sent at the
same time scraps of Irving l.. Ford's
blood.stained undergarments. Each
will be analysed to discover if the
stains on the mans apparel were made
by blood from the gaping wound in the
throat of Elsie Kreglo.
1t is reported at Emergency Hospital
that Mr.. Kreglo was out of danger.
He improved very fast during yester-
day, and although still suffering from
the shock his condition was such that
it could be stated positively that ne
would recover.
