Death of q Heroine.

Readers Of De Quincy will remember
the very touching account which the
essayist gives of family of children
who for two days and two nights were
showed up in their lonely cottage in
Easdale. The parents had gone to a
neighboring village, were overtalSen by
O terrible storm and never came back
The eldest child, a. girl of IL, who had
played the mother to her brother and
sisters in way which only some chill
dren can. ultimately made her way to a
farmhouse, a search party was got to-
gether and the frozen bodies of the
parents, who had been unable to make
their way against the wild force of the
storm, were found near the famous Eas-
dale Tarn. The incident has frequent
~ been the subject Of story and, If we
remember rightly, Wordsworth also
utilized it. We refer to il now in con-
sequence of the death of Mrs Hall, the
last survivor of tho orphan family, at
the age of 90. She was the youngest of
them all and it is singular coincidence
that she should have passed away at
time when the snow-which had such
a momentous effect upon her early life
again lies thick upon the fells--

DOOMSDAY AT HAND.
Astrologers Have Announced the
End Of the World.
Prophecies Of tho Past That Hav~
Caused Great Terror to the Be-
levers of Certain Reli.
sious Cfceds.

Several prophets of the astrological
order have announced the coming Of
the millennium during the year 1897.
Their prophecies are based upon un.
usual events in the planetary system,
but to the lay mind these adroitly ad-
duced reasons seem feeble causes for
such a momentous upheaval. To
present these reasons is not the
object of this article, but to de-
ages of the worlds history by similar
announcementsof the comingof dooms-
day.
In olden times the dread caused by
millennium prophet was worldwide,
affecting the rich and the educated
as we'll as the poor and tho ignorant.
Nowadays the audience of the dooms-
day terror is very limited, comprising
the very ignorant, whose minds have
been perverted by fantastic religious
notions.
This was demonstrated most pc
culiarly in Atlanta, Ga, some three
years ago, when a negro evangelist, ig-
norant but eloquent, announced that
the godly would be transplanted to
Heaven at a certain hour in the after
noon of a certain day. For weeks be-
fore the date set for this phenomenon
he went among the poorer negroes ex-
horting them to prepare for the celes-
tial fight.
Hundreds of his followers were
70 foto ~
enthusiasm and displayed implicit
faith in the truth of the prophecy.
They went among their less cody rel
atives giving away all of their house
hold effects and clothing. The few who
had accumulated savings gave these
away, too.
On the day the great event was to oc-
cur they mounted to the roofs of their
shanties and cabins in obedience to the
commands Of the exhorter, who had in
formed them that the angel could see
them more easily and get them to Heav-
en- quicker.
Although the fight was not to take
place until two o'clock in the afternoon
ell Of them were up on the roofs before
daylight. They waited there patiently
In the heat of the broiling sun, anxious
but confident.
Two o'clock passed, but the angels
came not. One of the negroes, who had
become frenzied with excitement, made
q leap into the air az the bells of q near
by church tolled out the hour. He ex-
pected to be waited to Heaven, but he
fell into the yard around his house and
broke his leg. When the ambulance
came to take him to the hospital he
fought the doctors. explaining that the
angels would come and not find him.
The others waited and waited, some
of them until midnight. Then they be-
came sleepy and hungry and began to
lose faith. First ono and then another |
climbed down and the exhorter disap- |
peared. The next day there was ire
mendous excitement among the kin |
dred of the cody ones. The latter
went about demanding the return of |
household effects, clothing and money.
Most Of the recipients refused to return
the treasures, and the civil courts were |
soon filled to overhowing with litiga-
ton. Thus ended the propbesied fig bit
to Heaven.-Washington Post.

The random" word, which, accord
