A Trembling pillar.

The Church of st. Nicaise, in the city
of Rheims, is surrounded with pillars,
one of which sways perceptibly with
the ringing of one of the bells of the
tower. When the bell is rung it causes
the top of this pillar to sway to the ex-
tent of seven inches on each side, al
though the base of the pillar is inn
movable, and the stones are so firmly
cemented as to seem like a solid piece of
masonry. Although each of the four
bells in the tower is about the same dis
lance from the trembling pillar, only
one of them has any effect on it, the
ringing of the others either singly or
all together not causing it to tremble
in the least. When board was placed
OH the pillar bearing two glasses of
water, and the bell was rung, at the
fifth stroke of the bell the two glasses
were thrown off. Curiously enough, it
was an adjoining pillar that formerly
swayed, then it became immovable, and
some years ago the present trembling
pillar became the eccentric one.-Cin.

A UNIQUE VILLAGE.
It Is Almost Ideal In Many Ways-Tw0
Beautiful Boulevards.

It Is Almost Ideal In Many Ways-Two
Beautiful Boulevards.
Along the Second street pike, just be-
yond the village of Bethayres and IN
miles from Huntington Valley station.
on the Newton railroad, John Pitcairn,
wealthy Philadelphian, founded a
little settlement several years ago for
Swedenborgians, or members of the
Church of the New Jerusalem. He
bought large tract of land, built
fine house and surrounded it with con-
veniences. The country, naturally pref
ty, attracted others of his faith, who
viewed with favor the idea of the Sec
tartan community. They secured lots
from the original property, which was
nearly square mile in extent, and put
up houses. Eight or nine families are
now included in the settlement and
more are to Join it, only awaiting a
favorable opportunity to build.
The place has no name other than
Bethayres, which it takes from it's close
proximity to that old town. 1t is, how
ever, entirely distinct from Bethayres
proper. Every house within it's borders
is large and handsomely finished, in
side and out. There are improvements
in this new and well-regulated little
settlement of which a municipality
would be proud.
The houses are built along two beau
tiful boulevards, one Of which is three
fourths of mile long and the other
somewhat shorter. The driveways, of
hard crushed stone, are fanked on each
side by a strip of sod, with young shade
trees planted at regular intervals. Out
side of these green borders are the side
walks. The larger of the boulevards
has half a dozen rounded turns in it's
course and the other is laid out with a
proportionate number. The effect is
novel and pleasing and reminds the
visitor of well-kept park.
A complete system of underground
sewers drains the village and an cleo
tric-light plant furnishes illumination
for all the inhabitants. Water is dis
tributed under good pressure from a
huge tank, the pumping being done by
windmill. Many other conveniences
contribute to the common comfort

HEAVEN ON EARTH.

The heavens may lose their blue and gold,
The lilies scentless lie;
THIS roses, when the winds blow cold,
/ May fade, and fall. and die;
The merles may hide In bush and brake,
The lark and thrush be dumb;
But Love can constant summer make
, Within the walls of home.
Though tumults loud may rise and reign
In market place and square;
Though greed and strife In street and lane
Make discord on the air;
Yet angry feelings enter not,
And discords never come
To noble hall or lowly cot,
II there Is Peace at home.
And though the years bring pain and woe.
And many an hour Of care;
Though soft cheeks pale and hollow grow,
And silvery white the hair;
Still sorrows lighter seem to bear,
And fuller joys become
A heaven on earth is surely where
Love reigns with Peace at home.

Australi.,s Rem.rkable summer.

AS is generally known, the AUS
tralian summer of 1886 was a record
breaker in the way Of great heat. Some
facts that have just come to hand in the
way of government statistics kindly ar
ranged for the Press by H. C. Russell,
the government astronomer, of Sydney,
New South Wales, point out some of
the more extraordinary features of the
hot spell which broke the record in
Sydney. That city's hottest day ranged
from s3.6 at six o'clock in the morning
to 100 at ten o'clock, LOG at noon, 1881
at $3.50, when the breeze shifted around
to the sea and the temperature fell,
reaching SO at six o'clock in the even
ing. Bourke, an inland town north
west of Sydney, however, is the banner
hot town, with record Of 1877 degrees.
This year it struck 10, and in January
rs days were above 100 and 10 above
10. Only Arizona and the California
deserts can equal these figures. Phila-
delphia may be warm, but it cannot
keep pace with Sydney.-Philadelphia

The extraordinary resuscitating pow

lustration few years ago in the silver
mines at Lauriam. The mines had been
abandoned more than 1000 years ago
as unavoidable, and consisted for the
most part of the ''slag" produced by the
workings of the miners. An enterprise
ing Briton discovered that the Stag
contained plenty of silver, which could
easily be removed by modern appli-
ances. When the Stag was removed to
the furnace the next visit to the mine
found the entire space covered with
a most gorgeous show of popies from
the seed left under the Stag when the
mine was abandoned. After their 60

An American Tourist Finds It Strange
Continuance.
The German wagon is a strange
mixture of use and discomfort and well
adapted to both. Being devoid of elas-
ITCHY, morning ride in one over the
rough cobblestone pavement is fine
constitutional; it brings into active
motions all the members of the body,
and if thorough shaking up is good
for one, then it is also healthful con-
trivance.
The body is coffin-shaped; the wheels
about three feet in diameter and the
shafts a single pole. what is the use
of having two poles where one will
do?" says the matter-of-fact German.
The lock is often in the most incon-
venient place for the driver to manage.
It is generally some kind of screw ar
rangement, placed as far to the back
of the wagon as possible, and If there is
any necessity for it's use the driver
winds it up something like hand or
gan, and in many cases the music is
about as melodious. The attachment of
the motive power is understandable; IT
must be seen to be appreciated. 1t Is
neither an attachment of love or
beauty; it may be one of usefulness.
The custom is for the driver to walk,
the wagon generally being so small
there is not room enough for the load
and his ample proportions. / have often
thought in watching these wagons that
an appropriate motto would be to those
who sought to ride in them: "Memento
Morl."
If while walking along the street in
conversation with friend one of these
crude vehicles comes near you will i'm
agine that 161 distinct noises have

The laws in regard to the right of
way appear strange to Americans. 1t
does not seem mutual right, the
equity, If there be any, is very one
sided. In this case the driver has the
advantage. If he happens to run over
you in the street he is the damaged
party, and if you are killed you are re-
quired not only to pay your own fu-
neral expenses, but pay the fellow well

Maudie? Promise me-"
And she had spurned his warning;
had refused his last request, and set her
whims in defiance of his feelings and
wishes. As she rode by the side of Lord
Perceval that day on the banks of the
canal she had listened with pleased
vanity to his whispered words of adj
miration; words which conveyed to her
mind the roue's worship of her beauty,
and at the same time insisted that such
beauty was wasted on the grave and
serious-minded soldier, who was en-
crossed, heart and soul, in his profess
sion. She had listened without protest
to Lord Perceval's thinly-veiled sneers
at her absent husband; she had been
disloyal, traitress in her passivity;
false in word, if not in deed, to the brave
and tender heart which beat with such
true and passionate love for her.
That evening, outside the railway
station, detachment of soldiers await
ed, in melancholy silence, the coming
of the train which was conveying to
them the body of their dead officer and
comrade, whom they had all respected
and admired. Close by the gun car
rage was standing on which Gerald
Jocelyn was to make his last journey to
the cemetery on the hillside a mile
away; and at few yards distance g
closed carriage was drawn up in which
sat Mrs. Tailyour holding in mute SYM
pathy the hand of tie girl widow, who,
white and fearless, leaned back beside
her, immovable in calm despair. She
had scarcely spoken since she recovered
from the deep swoon into which she had
fallen after hearing of her husbands
death; had only announced her deter
mination to bid him last farewell be-
side his grave.
Capt. Ferguson was standing near
the carriage, and whispered. to Mrs,
Tailyour that the train was signaled;
then he withdrew from her sight inside
the station. Putting and painting, the
train swept in; there was astrange 81

and hurt the man who loved her with
oil the passionate intensity of his
strong and sensitive nature. Such a
slim, fragile-looking being, and yet so
powerful in welding an influence over
the hearts of those around her.
A look of helpless and baffied anxiety
passed over Maj. Jocelyn's handsome,
careworn face. Without CHANGING at
him his wife continued cofdly: II con-
slider it very ungenerous of you to at
tack Lord Perceval in the way you have
done lately, limiting at things against
him, throwing out insinuations as to
his character, but with. nothing really
definite that you can state against him.
You know like him, that he is my
friend. / call it mean of you, Gerald,
