Marvels to the Natives,

Dr.. Gregory. in exploring the lofty
ranges of Mount Kenya in Africa, was
accompanied by native followers from
the coast, to whom the frost and snow
met with at great attitudes were mex
plicable wonders that could be at
tributed only to magical agencies
"They came to tell me, +" writes the
traveller, "that the water they had left
in their cooking pots was all bewitched-
They said it was white and would not
shake. The adventurous Fund.- had even
hit it with a stick, which would not 60
in. They begged me to look at it, and I
told them to bring it to me. They de-
cllned, however. to touch it and i'm
plored me to go to it. The water, Of
course, had frozen solid. I handled the
ice and told the men they were silly to
be afraid of it, for this change always
came over water on the tops Of high
mountains I put one of the pots on the
fire and predicted it would soon turn
again into water. The men sat around
and anxiously watched it. When it had
melted, they joyfully told me that the
demon was expelled, and I told them
they could now use the water, but as
soon as my back was turned they poured
it away and refilled their pots from an
adjoining brook"

Anthony Trollope-A Portrait.

Hirsute and taurine of aspect, he
would glare at you from behind fierce
spectacles. His ordinary tones had the
penetrative capacity of two people quar-
reling, and his voice would ring through
and through you and shake the win
dows in their frames, while all the time
he was most amiably disposed toward
you under his waistcoat Tome his viso
sciolto and bluff geniality were very at
tractive. and SO were his gusty denun-
Citations, but most attractive of all was
his unselfish nature. He may quite we'll
have been the most generous man of let
tiers, of mark, since Walter Scott.
Trollope had a furious hatred of
shams and toadyism, and he sometimes
recognized and resented these weakness
es where they would hardly have been
detected by an ordinary observer. He
resembled in this respect the Prince de
Ligne, who, after making strenuous but
almost fr1itless endeavors to create a
piece of water in his desmesne, was told
that a man had drowned himself in it.
"Bah" exclaimed he. "Ce TAFT un fat
teur"'-'My Condolences, by Locker
Lampson.

Do They Enjoy It?

II the republican party had any
sense Of humor it might have great
fun with itself. 1t does some very
queer things, without even q smile.
and one Of them the Decatur Review
calls attention to as folllws:
"During q campaign before the
people 1t puts in overtime informing
us that its elements are the salt of
the earth. just a. soon as the cam
paign closes some member of the
party at once begins to inform other
members that the party is largely
made up Of those who would never
be put in . position of trust. A,
this stage Of the game 1t is declared
that those standard bearers around
whom the battle was fought are only
. corrupt machine. who must newt.
ably be overthrown BY an outraged
people.
..And by and by the machine tri.
umphs in other conventions and
again seizes the standards for 9
campaign before the people. And
then 1t becomes very holy, sacred
It has been remarked that q re-
publican nomination has always
been more efficacious in cleansing 9
heardened old sinner than have al
the sacraments of all the churches in
their palmiest days.
''And in time the standard bearer,
purified by the saving grace Of q
nomination. gets elected. And
then he becomes the same unregener.
ated old rascal. In this way the Law
Of compensation is allowed full pay,
while nothing purities like repub
lican nomination, it 10 equally true
that nothing 90 contaminates as 9
republican election.

There are probably 90 beefsteak clubs
in the city whose members meet once q
month or oftener in the colder seasons
to eat beefsteak and enjoy themselves
generally. Some Of the clubs rent rooms
for permanent occupancy; some meet
where it may be convenient. The great
increase in the number of beefsteak
clubs is due in large measure to the in
PRODUCTION of gas broilers. Formerly
the broiling of steaks in the best man
ner called for special labor and art. The
fire must be just so, and the broillng
must be done just SO too. There are one
or two men who have justly attained
celebrity for their skillful and delight
full broiling Of steaks. But the gas
broiler simplifies the broiling very
much. The gas broiler looks like a thin
iron box standing on edge. It has in
the front end narrow upright doors,
opening in the middle. The steak is
held ON edge in the gas broiler and
cooked on both sides at once.-New
York Sun.

A Source Of Coptaeion.

1t has been proved by abundant inves.
tlgation that one prolific source of epi.
demic diseases is found in the liability
OF the germs of such diseases to lodge
IN the mouth around the teeth and gums.
A physician examined the teeth Of the
children OF certain school. He found
disease germs present in almost eyerv
case. By careful watching he discovered
that those children whose teeth were
Kept cleanest suffered less from cpl
demlo diseases. The neglected condition
OF the teeth is, therefore, a common
cause OF illness. Indeed, if one takes the
trouble to observe with what rapidity
the tartar and cheesy matter accumulate
around the teeth of people who are out
OF health they will not be long in max
ing mp their minds that thorough and
5udicious use of the toothbrush IL not
very far from a means of grace.-New
York Ledger.

THE Chicago Evening Post (repub-
lican) insists that Gov. Tanner should
apologize for the boorishness exhibi-
ted by his party on the occasion Of
the late Inauguration. 1t says:
while it is Uncomfortable that Gov.
Tanner was in any wise an accessory
to the fragrant breach of official cour-
tesy shown by the republicans of the
general assembly in refusing to hear
ex-Gov. Altgeld's parting address,
the good name of Illinois demands
that he express publicly his official
regret of the shameful occurrence. 1t
has been reported that the choking
of OF Gov. Altgeld,' as the incident
is described. was deliberately planned
by the repu blicans. II so, the more
reason why Gov. Tanner should as
deliberately and emphatically disa-
VOW all knowledge Of or participation
in such disgraceful program"

Screws In Stone.

A Dusseldorf engineer. knowing from
experience that wooden bowels intended
u secure screws IN stone are liable to
weaken the walls and not afford the de-
sired solidity, has devised an ingenious
method Of obtaining a firm anchorage.
For this purpose. as explained in the
Philadelphia Record, a wire Of suitable
thickness is cciled ON to the screw %
as to follow the threads of the same and
TO form q kind of screw nut. The ceiling
may commence near the head or thick
end Of the bolt and proceed toward the
point BY laying the wire into or be-
tween the threads, so as to touch the
bottom, the section Of each screw thread
being preferably triangular or trape1oid-
n and the core Of the screw oonical

Thrown Into the Fire For Failing to Re.
sPond to Prayer.
A missionary Of the Basel society in
India gives an account Of . lad IS years
Of age named velayuthan. whose ia
Their sought to take him away from Nhe
Christians, whom he had Joined. The lad
stood firmly, but efforts to shake his
resolution were continued.
In the middle Of July his mother
came and told her son, with many tears,
that his father was dangerously i'll and
wished to see him once more before his
death. This message melted the heart
Of Velayuthan. and, wishing to see his
father, he was permitted to accompany
US on our tour. How glad he was in the
anticipation Of seeing his parents and
brothers and sisters again his face clear
~ indicated. We heard no sound as we
entered the compound, the door of the
house was ajar. and Velayuthan's IA
ther, who was lying on q mat behind
the door, was heard groaning as if with
great pain. His son rushed into the
house, stopped down over his father and
asked him how he was.
All Of a sudden the seemingly dying
man jumped up, clasped his con in his
arms and dragged him into an inner
room, trying to fasten the door, raising
at the same time such howl that felt
quite stunned. When the missionary
tried to prevent the door being shut, the
father, brandishing his long knife,
wounded his arm and forced him to let
the door 60. The bowling ceased for q
few seconds, and q voice was heard
screaming in piercing accents: Don't
kill him! Don't kill HIM" We shud-
dered and feared the worst. But few
moments afterward there was q shout,
He is goner' and the lad was seen run
ming like a chased deer across the com.
pound, followed by his enemies, his
mortal fright giving him strength to
leap the hedges. In q few minutes he
had reached the missionary's house and
was safe.
We learned afterward that Velayu-
than's father, when he had his son in his
power inside the room, had uttered some
threats which made the lad fear that he
was about to be killed. Filled with ap.
prehension, he inwardly called upon the
Lord for help, when suddenly he saw an
opening below the wall plate and escap
ed thereby. The father. who now feared
we should bring an action against him.
made two deep gashes across his chest
with his knife. ran to the magistrate
and accused US Of having broken into
his house and wounded him.
But the magistrate asked some trust
worthy witnesses and rejected the com
plant. Next day the mother and brother
of Velayuthan came to ask our pardon
and told us that his father, after his ne
turn from the magistrate, had kindled 9
fire, taken his idols and thrown them
into the fire, with the words: "You die
not help me. You may burn. "-Parist
