A Brides Bolt.

A funny story comes from For
mosa. Mr.. Hiyama, a Japanese Off
cial, was recently married to a
daughter OF man of Importance in
the interior who had seen little Of
civilization, and lived in a hut of
bark and bamboo of one OF the great
mountains. During the first night
she spent in her new home, she
was awakened by the ticking OF 3
clock, Tho persstency and the
monotony OF the sound suggested to
her mind that the instrument must
be possessed of an evil spirit. She
awakened her husband, but his ex-
plantations did not allay her fears.
While he slept again she slipped
quietly from the bed and escaped to
the forest, safe from the influence Of
the ticking demon.

Knew Warren Hastings.

There has just died at Rugby
lady who knew Warren Hastings.
She was Mrs. Powlett, grand daugh.
ter of Sir Charles Wheeler, Bart, of
bennington Hastings, Warwickshire,
and was born in 1893. Her great
uncle was member of the Supreme
Council in India late in the last CEN
fury, and his widows house in Park
Lane was a place to which many
Anglo-lndians used to resort 1t
was here that, when quite girl, she
saw Warren Hastings.

Marriage by Proxy.

The Dutch are grave an d practi
cal people. That is why they have
retained the custom of marriage by
proxy to the present day. A young
man goes to the Indies to seek his
fortune, having first become engag-
ed. Fortune smiles on him. He
can afford to marry, but not to come
home and fetch his bride. 1t would
be possible of course, for the lady to
go out to the Indies and marry him
there, but this plan does not always
answer. Young men have been
known to cry off their bargains
when they have found that the lady
has not grown lovelier with the
years. Young ladies have been
known to change their minds upon
the steamer, and to prefer some fell
low passenger to the betrothed. So
the Dutch have arranged that some
friend OF the bridegroom living in
Holland shall go through both the
ceremonies on his behalf. "A mar
riage with the gloves on" is the
Dutch name for this ceremony. The
young lady, safely married, is driven
by her parents straight from the
church to the steamer, and the
honeymoon tegins five or six weeks
later.

The Eclipse.

New York, Aug. 22.-The Herald
this morning says: The following
communication has been received
from Miss Mary Proctor, daughter
OF the late Professor r. A. Proctor,
the celebrated English astronomer
Miss Proctor sailed from New York
on June 81 on the steamship Ohio
for the purpose Of obtaining view
OF the recent total eclipse Of the sun
the steamer being bound on a cruise
to Russia, Norway and the land OF
the midnight sun:
rs. S. Ohio, Trondhjem,
Norway, Aug 10.
"The passengers on board the ship
Ohio OF the American line had
splendid view Of the total eclipse of
the sun, which occurred on the
morning Of August 8. The sky was
cloudless and the atmosphere clear
so that we had a perfect view Of the
suns corona and prominence. The
planets Jupiter, Mercury and Venus
were plainly to be seen during the
total eclipse and also many we'll
known consultations. The tenn
perature fell two degrees-from 80
to 51-during the totality, and a
perceptible chill was felt at the time
The eclipse was viewed from most
favorable point, northwest Of the
island OF Stotven, the west coast OF
Norway, in latitude 66.57 north,
longitude 1880. The data of the
eclipse are as follows:
august 8, 12h. 5m. 22s.-First
contact; August 8, 15:53;25, total OBJ
scuration began.
august 8, 15:5500-total obscura-
tion ended; August 8, 16:50.00 last
contact. Duration 3m; totality I'm.

who had been disarmed and bound be-
fore we were-wisely, perhaps-was re-
leased and took command of The brig
ands. He left us in no doubt as to the
position of affairs, but at once ex-
planned the situation with cynical hui
nor. We had been entrapped by him,
as rich Americanos, and he expected to
make enough by our ransom to retire
from business and flee into Brazil to
drafts on Santiago and Valparaiso
banks for the modest sum of $4,000
each, with the alternative Of death.
Night had now come on, and he gave us
till morning to decide-no longer.
BY morning, however, we were free,
escaping through the jaws of a fright
full tragedy. The band gave them
selves up to a wild debauch, paying
scant heed to us. Even our Wholesalers
and baggage were carelessly piled in
corner of the outer cavern. From the
rough archway of the dividing passage
swung an oil lamp from a long spike.
BY an hour after midnight the brigands
were all lying dead drunk in the inner
cavern.
Come on, boys; let's make a break"
whispered Mattson. Howe" 1 in
CURED. II propose blowing that pas
sage down on the brutes and CITING"
was the cool reply. And, sure enough,
in ten minutes he had the case of dyna-
mite on the spike beside the lamp and
the electric wires connected up. Then,
taking our arms and valises, we started
for the outer darkness, NTattson delb-
erately running out his wire.
But we had counted without our COM
pulsoHv hosts. There was guard,
after all, ard we had not gone 100 yards
when Il shot from him set the whole
drunken gang a-howling in the cave.
Run on to the ravine, boys: I'll fol-
low" yelled Mattson, springing on a
rock that commanded the cave. Know
ing that he had no time now to connect
the battery, apart from the risk of
proximity, Curzon and l stopped short
to see what lie was at.
Just outlined in the darkness, krecl-
ing on one Knee and with rife to sight
was Mattson on the stone. What was
he about? The answer came literally
III 81 flash" For a flash from his rife
ilunincd the darkness. There followed
a terrific roar. The earth rocked as in
an earthquake, and we were all hurled
violently from our feet.
That we were not killed in the com
mon death resulting from that splendid
shot was miraculous. Hut the white
Andean dawn found us three alive and
sound, whilst the whole brigand gang
were evidently buried beneath the coli
lapsed granite masses of their golden.

pedal reaches point marked /, continue
ing the pressure to point marked j,
and allowing the momentum of the
wheel to carry them over the dead
centers \ and L. This may do on per-
fectly level road, although the chain
can be felt to suddenly tighten, aud
then loosen again, giving Il very ierlly
motion, instead of the steady rhythmic
glide so delightful to the finished cycler.
With little continuous practice, and
by dropping the right heel as the right
crank comes up on the back stroke,
the power can be applied at the point
marked K, which is back of the dead
center, A. As the right crank descends,
the foot gradually straightcns out, I'M
til at the point the foot is level After
passing G, if the heel is raised, and the
toe dropped with claHing motion, the
pressure can be applied to the point
marked L. The left foot at the same
time is applying power on the left pedal
at the point X. Thus the left foot is
pushing over the dead center A, while
the right is clawing over the dead cen
ter E, thus practically annihilating tha.
greatest bugbear, dead center.
Thus the rider who uses good ankle
motion applies power to five segments
out of the possible eight, while the in
different rider gets an uneven power
on only three segments out of eight
in single revolution of the pedal. In
ride OF 50 miles or more the immense
advantage to be gained in good ankle
work will be seen at glance.

bert is now 61a years old, and is quite
small for his age, weighing only 80
pounds. Every day he can be seen at

airy on a compositor's stool, a midget
among the printing fraternity. with
handful of type to distribute, or a
stick" and rule" to set type.
His inclination to learn the printers

than five years old, ard the first prac-
! teal work he did Mas to feed papers,.
to press. and in Il few weeks he was
able to feed the country Campbell.
at speed of 500 an hour.
From this achievement he naturally
turned to others, and many hours We're,
spent at the ease" where he learned.
his alphabet, and begged to set type,
but was denied the pleasure until q
few months ago. lie cannot spell u
word of more than few letters, YET he
now takes reprint and sets at the
rate of a galley of % inches long primer
in day. He is also accurate and quite.
speedy in distributing, and can throw
in type at more than half the average
