When "The Philadelphia Record" un-

But the world of readers was not asleep.
Consequently s'The Record'' was notlo long
in reaching a commanding position, and,
improving upon this, its circulation and
influence were finally recognized among
the foremost of Americas great journals.

is now paid to it in every city of note

a paper was recently read before the |

Medical association by DR.. r. Osgood
Mason, the medical scientist, whose in
designations in psychical phenomena
have attracted wide attention, on the
origin and medico-legal aspect of the
iual personality.
He believes that not only physical Pc
euliarities and tendencies to certain dis
eases, but mental characteristics, may

LIZ the fifth generation appeared a man

exist during the four intervening gen

fourth generation was a mild and re-

health. Some sudden shock, syncope or
loss of consciousness occurs, and on re-
covery an entirely new personality is
found. The patient commences to
curse, to vilify everything good, and to

most criminal character. The newly
arrived personality has chain of mem

Some years ago. when three sturdy

in the colony married kaffir girls L
am told that this is no unusual thing,
that it is done by hundreds of colonists
owing TO the scarcity of white women;
and thus. instead of propagating the
English race there, they only succeed
in raising up a wretched mongrel breed.
Such q mistake is not made by the
Dutch settlers, however rude, ignorant
and unprogressive they may be con-

CHAPTER TX.
THE HEAD OF ERASMUS.

THE HEAD OF ERASMUS.
Waiting, and waiting alone! The
gates were almost down now. The
gang of ruffians without, reinforced
each moment by volunteers eager for
plumber, rained blows increasingly on
hinge and socket; and still hotter and
faster. through dozen riffs in the tim
bers, came the fire of their threats and
cures. Many grew tired, hut others
replaced them. Tools broke, but they
brought more and worked with savage
energy. They had shown at first a
measure of prudence; looking to be
fired on, and to be resisted by men, sur
prised, indeed, but desperate; and the
bolder of them only had advanced. But
now they pressed around unchecked,
meeting no resistance. They would
scarcely stand back to let the sledges
Lave swing; but hallooed and ran in on
the creaking beams and beat them
with their fists whenever the gates
swayed under a blow.
One stout iron bar still held it's place.
And this L watched as if fascinated. I
was alone in the empty courtyard,
standing little aside, sheltered by one
OF the stone pillars from which the gates
hung. Behind me the door of the
house stood ajar. Candles, which the
daylight rendered garish. still burned
in the rooms on the first floor, of which
the tall narrow windows were open. On
the wide stone sill of one of these stood
Croisette, boyish figure, looking
silently down at me, his hand on the
latticed shutter. He looked pale, and
nodded and smiled at him. felt rather
anger than fear myself; remembering,
as the fiendish cries half-deafened me,
old tales of the Jacquerie and its doings,
and how we had trodden it out.
Suddenly the din and tumult flashed
to louder note; as when hounds on the
scene give tongue at sight. 1 turned
quickly from the house, recalled to IL
sense of the position and peril. The
iron bar was yielding to the pressure.
Slowly the left wing of the gate was
sinking inwards. Through the widen
ing chasm L caught a glimpse of wild,
grirny faces and bloodshot eyes. and
heard above the noise q sharp cry from
Croisette-a cry of terror. Then I
turned and ran, with a defiant gesture
| and an answering yell, right across the
| forecourt and up the steps to the door,
I ran the faster for the sharp report
of a pistol behind me, and the whirr of
ball past my ear. But 1 was not
scared by it: and as my feet alighted
! with a bound on the topmost step, 1
glanced back. The dogs were halfway
across the court. made a bungling at
tempt to shut and lock the great door

roar of coarse triumph. I waited for
no more. I darted up the oak staircase,
four steps at time, and rushed into
the great drawing-room on my left,
| banging the door behind me.
The once splendid room was in a state
of strange disorder. Some of the rich

railway of Budapest on account of lack
of ventilation. Fer stretch of more
than two miles there is only a single
ventilator. which is entirely insufficient.
and the trains running through the
tunnel compress the air within like that

occasions the cars were raised bodily

THE SMILE OF eAREIM SLEEP,

AS sweet as the breath of early morn,
AS white as new-failen snow
AS pure as the love of God Unborn,
As honest as tears that flow;
AS soft Is the touch of the blushing rose
AS clear as bright water deep,
AS tender as the life that shows,
The smile of babe in sleep.
Like the gentle touch of a fairy wand
Like the fallen dews of even,
Like the searching eyes that look beyond.
Like hopes which rest in Heaven,
Like the thought that comes unasked. I'M
heard,
Like the troth which angels keep,
Like the force of a low, unspoken word.
Comes the smile of babe in sleep.
The smile of a babe in slumber deep.
Was there e'er a tenderer gift,
To a world of sin, to hold and keep,
Than this opening child-cloud rift,
Bringing to earth-born women and men
Messages dear that creep
Into memories new each day again,
The smile of a babe in sleep.
