Stories of an Inland State.

Misty Dawn went on through the night,
following the main-trayeled road with lis
high, grassy center and its deep ruts. She
walked rapidly and at dawn was very tired.
Rut she kept on obstinately, fleeing from
disgrace.
Soon in the east she heard a rumble and
turning. espied a wagon on distant hill
coming in her direction.
She qu.ckened her pace. For an hour
she fastened before the pursuing wagon.
Some one was crying TO her. She turned.
A man was standing on the wagon-seat
waving his arms.
Shes crept into the tall grass at the side
of the road to conceal herself.
The wagon drove up ana stopped. She
heard voice saying:
Swallowed up by magic if I'm alive.
Now where did she go?''
The man crept about in the grass and ran
across Misty Dawn. He took her by the
arm and pulled her TO her feet.
Surveying her he said: We'll you're
about the prettiest one 1 ever seen. Gosh.
but you'd do for fresco in a big church.
Lord. my girl, where are you going?'

QUEER RACING.
Massachusetts Oners n Honse-Buiid-
Ing Contest as n Novelty.

Massachusetts Oners q uouse-Build-
ing Contest as n Novelty.
The latest novelty in races is a house
building race. The only one so far run
seems to have come out a dead heat.
Recently a real state company auc-
toned off n number Of lots in Western
avenue, Westfield, Mass, and with the
idea of booming the neighborhood Of
fered prizes. Five hundred dollars TO
the first, $500 TO the second, was offered
the builders of new houses. One of the
Tor purchasers, a contractor named
Rivers, began at once to build. The
work was not hurried Mt first, as there
was apparently no competitor. One APP
pcared, however, four days after work
had commenced.
A Mrs. Lee was the owner, and night
and day men worked on her building.
Rivers responded with double gangs OF
men, and for several days the race went
on without a pause until both houses
were finished almost exactly together.
The Rivers house, which was built in
nine days. has nine rooms averaging
IA feet square, is trimmed with hard
wood, Is wired for electric bells, has
a furnace and running water, and is
completely painted outside as well as
papered and decorated inside. The Lee
house is not so complete, lacking a fur
mace and gas fixtures, but it was com
pleted in five days, thus breaking all
records sc far as known. Both sides
claim the $500 prize. About 20 men
were employed on each building and
every device known TO %up-to-date car
pentry was employed. Beth houses are
attractive in appearance and show no
Sign of haste in construction. During
the race the houses were visited by hun
dreds of people, who cheered on the
workmen In the novel contest.-N. Y.

FIRST NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED.
Boston Publisher Prevented from
Carrying Out His Truthful Idcns.

1t is curious to compare the latter-day
standards of journalistic enterprise
With those of Benjamin Harris, the pub
Usher of the first English newspaper
printed in America. This was issued
rom a Boston press in 1000, and was
entitled Publick Occurrences, both For
.ign and Domestick. Among the aims
announced by Harris was to do some
hing toward the curing, or at least
ihe charming, of that Spirit of Lying,
which prevails among us" He, there
fore, declared that nothing should be
admitted to the columns of his paper
save what he had reason to believe
was true, and that in quest of such
material he would repair TO the best
fountains of information.
In his very candid prospectus Harris
adds: 'lVhen there appears any ma
tcrial mistake in anything that is coll
ected. it shall be corrected in the next.
Moreover, the Publisher of the Occur
RANGES is willing 10 engage, that where
as, there are many False Reports, ma
~liciously made, and spread among us,

the pains to trace any such false Re
port, so far as to find out and Convict

SCIENCE GAINS FACTS.
Prince LuiRf's Expedition Answers
Qncstion. Abouf Mount St. EIins.


The expedition of Prince Luigi of
Savoy to the summit Of Mount st. Elias
has determined two facts OF Importance
60 the scientific world. II has fixed
once for all the altitude Of Mount st.
Elias at 1870 feet. The figures are
subject only to such slight corrections
As may change the total 80 or 40 feet
either way. The expedition has also
answered definitely and in the negative
the question so long asked by scientists
as to whether or not ST. Elias was at
one time a great volcano. There is not
the slightest indication OF volcanic ac-
tion anywhere. A new glacier was dis
covered by the explorers from the
cminence of Mount St. Elias between
the Augusta mountains and great Lo-
gan. Ii takes its curse apparently to
the sea, and vas named by the prime,

The rout was absolutely unknown.
The advance up these glaciers and mo
raines took 80 days, or until July 4, on
which day the prince declared for the
entire party a general holiday. AT Pin.

again in honor Of the flag.

A Trick of the Camera.

The Catholics of Hastings and st.
Leonards are going to celebrate the Au-
g~ustine thirteenth century by paying a
visit to the ruined chapel of st. Mary
~ Hastings castle. In former days this
chapel was a place of considerable i'm
rortance. being served by a dean and
IL prebendaries. At the reformation 1t
met the fate of SO many similar institu-
items, and Mas given by Henry VIII. TO
II of his favorites. 1t is now in the
possession of Lord Chichester, whose
family have done much to preserve the
lettering walls which crown the old
Cirque Port. Considerable curiosity
has been aroused in local Catholic cir
Giles by the discovery that in most. If not
all, of the photographs Of the ancient
chapel a trick of light discloses the
figure of n woman in a flowing garment
and veil, standing in an tttiiude OF de-
vction before what appears TO, be a
statue Of the Madonna and child. A
closer inspection shows the group TO be
nothing more than a broken buttress
and part of a door, but the illusion 81
first sight is distinctly remarkable, and
in Italy and France would probably be
regarded as a miracle.-Westminster

And, suiting action to word, the tum-

For a moment 10 n sound came from
