Arendrup. This man was a Danish
lieutenant. He had come to Egypt
and had been given charge Of the army
at Massowah, on the Red Sea. From
here he marched with $500 men against
the Abysslnian capital. His men were
armed with Remington rifles. They
had two six-gun batteries. After few
days march from the sea they came
to the mountains, and they got within
ten hours of the Kings capital before
they saw anything of their foes. At
this point, however, tens of thousands
Of Abyssinians sprang out of the hills.
They rode their horses right up to the
cannon and cut the Egyptians down al
most to man. OF the $500 men 1,S00
were massacred. Those who were
wounded were brutally mutilated.
Their bodies were not buried, and a
French consul who visited the battle
field few days afterward tells how
he saw the bones of 1000 men piled up
together in one place, and in another
jackals, wolves and hyenas eating at
the corpses. Arendrup was killed.
The horrors of an Abyssinian battle
field cannot be described. They mutt

their fighting is accompanied by all
sorts of unnecessary cruelty. The

more violent than the recent st. Louis
tornado. The Rochester, Mimi, calamity
was preceded by a strange greenish line
upon the clouds, and when the, tornado
struck the heart Of the city a passenger
train was torn to pieces. 1t also bit
piece thirty feet square out of six-story
Touring mill, leaving the higher portions
intact. At Hamilton, Ca, cotton bale
weighing $50 pounds was carried mile.
This tornado is described as being an in
expressibly beautiful sight, having all the
colors of a rainbow. Up in the air it re-
sembled boiling caldron, while under
meath showed the reflections as of a ter
rife fire. A man and his family were in
an open field. They saw the cloud coming,
but thought it was a confagration. A
child was killed in the fathers arms and
all were nearly drowned with the water
and mud which had been sucked up from
a pond. A horse was blown half mile
and lodged between two trees, one Of
which had to be cut down before the ami
NAL was released. A gin mill executed a
complete somersault; woman's bonnet
was carried thirty miles; the door of a
church was found ten miles away; pine
tops loaded with ice were dropped ten
miles on the other side of the storm. In
another storm, sheep had the wool strip
ped from their bodies and chickens were
denuded Of feathers.

Tasmanian Annles.

Apples ripened this year and success
fully transported distance of 10000
miles are on exhibition In the East.
They were grown In Tasmania, Aus
tralasia, and were shipped by way of
the Suez Canal to London, thence to
Southampton, from which port they
were brought to New York by the
American liner New York, arriving
about fifty days after being picked
from the tree. This probably Is the
champion long distance apple shipment
on record in this country. The fruit ID
not very large, nor Is II especially
handsome, but 1t Is In fine condition,
and the aroma Is certainly delightful,
while the flavor is very good. The ap-
pies are separately wrapped In paper
Of odd style, and the crates also show
their foreign manufacture. The ship
ment was partly as an experiment and
partly to furnish a curiosity to Provi-
dence people, who are Interested In
fruits.

The Waltz.

An earnest attempt has lately been
made by French musical writer's to
prove that the waltz originated in their
own country, that 1t was danced In
Provence as early as the fifteenth cen
fury, that it spread all over France In
the sixteenth and seventeenth, and was
introduced into Germany, where 1t be.
came popular, during the eighteenth,
while 1t died out In France and was
reintroduced from Germany In the pres.
ent century. The historic evidence for
these statements does not appear to be
satisfactory, for, from time immemo-
rial, the waltz under the names Of
LANDER, Schliefer and others, has been
danced In Bavaria, Bohemia, Tyrol and
various parts OF Australia, where, In
its original form, it may still be seen
pleasure grounds of the rural villages.
1t was originally a slow, graceful, turn
ing dance, but when brought into the
cities its character soon changed and 1t
became very rapid. 1t was forbidden
by an imperial edict in 1875, but spread
even faster afterward than before, and
two years later was danced on the
stage Of the Imperial Opera House in
Vienna, in a scene of Martins opera,
"Una Casa Rara." The early waltz
melodies are all slow. Those written
by Mozart and Beethoven for the early
days Of this dance are very different In
tempo from the brisk, swinging strains
of Strauss

" Kicking" Trees.

Very few who have never witnessed
the method of numbering in our forests
realize the danger. with it's accom-
panying fascination, the hard rugged
work with it's health-giving results, or
the enjoyment to be found in camp life
in the solitary woods, miles from civil
iZatiOn.
The danger from flying timbers or a
Kicking tree as it falls, lodges or
strikes upon stump or across a log,
and swing around or flies back with
terrible force, is not noticed by the
lumbermen If they are lucky enough to
dodge successfully. Another danger
that people little realize is that of the
teamsters who haul the logs from the
stump to the main road. Much of the
timber is cut up on the mountain sides,
which are so deep that a horse team
can scarcely climb up. At the top, logs
measuring from thirty to fifty feet in
length are loaded upon one sled and
are dragged down the mountain. In
places the road goes down so steep that
the ends of the logs are above the
horses hips. The logs with the sled
tip down, and away they go down the
mountain as fast as the horses can go,
with the teamster hanging to the reins
and keeping his balance upon the logs
as they thrash and roll around beneath
his feet. Occasionally the teamster
emits terrific yell that would put a
Comanche Indian to shame, to warn his
brother teamsters that he is coming, so
they can get out Of the way. They
drive in turnout, and the loaded team
spins past them. 1t is seldom that n
horse loses his footing; If he does the
team is sluic6d down the mountain
Occasionally they go against a tree,
and sometimes both Of the horses are
killed, but they generally come out all
right, with~a few scratches.
With the advent of the railroad and
invention of wood pulp, the uses of the
spruce tree have been changed or en-
larged, and so far as Byron, Me-, is con-
cerned, the matter Of getting it from
the forest to the market has changed.
The logs are now loaded on to cars in
the forests and hauled to the very mill
doors, where they are converted into
pulp and paper. During the present
winter logs have been hauled to the
Rumford Falls Paper Company's mill,
converted into paper, shipped to dis
tant cities, where it is used by some Of
the leading daily papers, printed, re-
turned and read by the camps crew
where the lumber was cut within a
fortnight from the time the tree was
cut in the forest. Such Is the effect of
progress of civilization upon this
branch of business. Only few years
ago-even now, in remote sections,
where railroads have not reached
one year is reconed on to get the lum-
Der to market, and it sometimes takes
to years to run the lumber out of the
stream to the main river.

up and carried out without being torn. A
horse weighing 1000 pounds was blown
through heavy hedge fence into an ad-
joining field distance of 40 yards.
Other storms have been accompanied
with remarkable manifestations of the
peculiar power of the wind. At one place
a church was moved across the street and
set down squarely on new foundation;
at another man, his load Of hay, wagon
and two horses went up two hundred feet
into the funnelshaped cloud, boulder
weighing 400 pounds was carried 300 feet,
and a new iron bridge had it's girders
twisted into ropes and dropped into the
river. In one peculiar tornado pressure
was experienced that seemed to reduce a
persons weight. Shavings, straws and
other light objects would ascend in a
straight line for a considerable distance
and then all at once dart with lightning
rapidity downward to the base or the
funnel cloud, and then upward through
Its vortex and out at the top. After the
storm passed a downward pressure was
experienced to such degree that SLOUGH
hat would be pressed down over the eyes,
and limbs on trees were noticed to bend
downward. A tool chest weighing 800
pounds had remained upon the ground
long enough to sink several inches into
the soil When the storm was approach
ing II was observed to rise about two feet
and move quite evenly and slowly toward
the funnel distance of thirty-five feet.
A three-gallon tin pail with covered top
and full Of water was blown forty-five
rods. The pail was found right side up,
still containing the water.
