A Dangerous Passage In the Rhone.

Below Viviers the Rhone breaks out
from its broad upper valley into its broad
err lower valley through the defile of Don
zcre Here the foothills of the Alps and
the foothills of the Cevennes come togeth-
or, and behind this natural dam there
must have been anciently n great lake
which extended to the northward OF where
now is Valence. The deflle Is veritable
canyon that would be quite in place In
Sierra Madre On each side of the sharply
narrowed river the walls of rock rise to
sheer height of goo feet. The rush of the
water is tumultuous. In midstream, sur
rounded by eddies and whirling waves, Is
the Roche des Anglais, against which the
boat of luckless party of English travel
ers struck and was shattered 100 years
ago. Indeed so dangerous was this pas
sage held to be OF old, when faith was
stronger and boats were weaker than In
our day of skepticism and compound en-
gines, that it was customary to Ito up at
the head of the deflle and pray for grace to
come through it safely, but nowadays,
with the same practical result, they put
extra men at the tiller and clap on more
steam.-Thomas Janvier in Century.

Rural China.

On every side white homesteads are
scattered, each in its setting Of giant
bamboo shoots. When you have realized
the fact that each of these little lusters
Of lime washed cottages represents the
home of fathers, sons, grandsons and all
their female belongings. you will begin
to appreciate the density Of the popula-
tion. In front Of every farm stand vel.
low straw stacks raised on wooden legs,
and under each tiny red COW ruminates
or else a dull, hairy water buffalo,
stupidity wondering whether mouthful
of straw snatched from above will repay
the trouble of balancing on his hind legs.
The general effect is most homelike
and pleasant 1t must be added that q
closer inspection of one of these farms
does not prove SO satisfactory. Round
about the ground is strewed with litter
and broken earthenware, while the
drainage from the cattle sheds forms
puddles on the roadway. The plaster has
fallen in flakes from the walls The gay
lanterns and gaudy texts in red and
black that adorn the entrance only ac-
centuate the dismal untidiness. Nor is
the semi circular fish tank, half full Of
stagnant water, pleasing either to eyes
or nose.
Gathering across the drying floor be-
tween it and the house, l bring out a
pack of curly black haired dogs, who
bark furiously, but at a respectful dis
lance. / am known here and am let
pass without further comment than
the customary "Stit Ii fan m thyam?"

which, like "How do you do?" calls for
no particular answer. -Blackwood's

"On two occasions within few years"
said citizen, "when have attended fu-
nerals, have observed at the cemetery
methods that were quite new to me, al
though one Of them at least has obtained
for some years. That one is the inning OF
the graves with white muslin, so that the
earth is not visible. The other method
that was new to me was the spreading
upon the ground, Immediately around the
grave, of evergreen boughs, so arranged as
to cover the freshly thrown out earth from
view, while the tips projected slightly over
the edge of the grave. The opening OF the
grave was, Of course, plainly visible among
these green boughs, but not the sides. Inc
modern burial casket in form and finish Is
as unlike the old fashioned coffin as 1t Is

DDS pertaining to the actual intermcnt
seem, in some measure at least, to rob even
the grave of its terrors. Now York sun.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT SPIDERS.
They Are Said to Have Artistic Tastes and
to BE Greatly Affected by Music.

10 DC uTedtiy AueCteu ny husiC.
My attention was called by a clerk in
drug store to a web which had been SUI
perbly decorated with flakes and scales of
logwood. / thought at first that this beau
tiful passementerie effect had been pro-
duced accidentally, but after watching
for few minutes 1 saw a spider descend
into the box of logwood, af1ix thread of
silk to flake of the dye, hoist it to the
web above and securely fasten it to one of
the transverse strands. The glittering
scales moved at the slightest jar, or when
they were struck by "a current of air, and
were dazzling to the eye This little dec
orative artist had indeed constructed q
truly palatial residence.
Some spiders unquestionably are affected
by music TO q marked degree. On one
occasion 1 noticed spider which had
swung down from the ceiling of church
and hung, suspended, just above the or
ganists hands. The organist informed
mo that he had repeatedly noticed that
spiders were affected by music. Several
days afterward, while seated at the organ,
l observed the same spider. Several times
l drove her away and enticed her back by
playing altern ately soft andante and loud
bravura selections Professor g. Reclaim,
during u concert at Leipsic, saw spider
descend from one Of the chandeliers while
violin solo WAS being played, but as soon
as the orchestra began to sound 1T quickly

GOT ONE ON HIS WIFE.
The Trick Cornwall Comedian Played on
His Spouse.

His Spouse.
A we'll known comedian of conyiyial
disposition not long ago received as a gift
from his wife handsome diamond scarf
pin, together with the Injunction that
when he caught sight of the pin reflected
In mirror behind bar 1t would serve to
remind him that ''some one was waiting
at home" The comedian was deeply
touched, but it was not long before he fell
from grace. 1t was o'clock In the morn
ing before he caught the reflection of the
pin, and then his conscience smote him.
He fastened home, and. finding his wife
In bed and apparently asleep, he hastily
disrobed and turned In without disturbing
her. While he was figuring out what kind
OF a lie he would tell her the next morning
he became aware that she was really
awake, but evidently believed that he had
dropped off into "a profound slumber. She
got out of bed most caU..susly, SO as not
to awaken him, and, goic:y to the bureau,
where he had left his new scarfpin in his
cravat, she took the jewel bauble out and
dropped it into vase on the mantel, all
Of which he was enabled to perceive by the
dim rays of gas jet upon the glass of a
picture frame
Then the lady came back to bed with
caution, and having kept herself awake
by an effort for some time she fell into the
deep slumber of exhausted nature Now
1t was the eminent comedians turn. He
gave his wife good half hour to get
soundly to sleep, and then he got out of
bed, took the scarfpin out of the vase and
put 1t back In the cravat, where he had
left 1t before. Then he got back to bed
undecided aud fell into the refreshing
slumber of the just. At O'Clock in the
morning he was aroused by vigorous
shaking, and his wifes agitated voice,
which said: "Wake upl You've been rob-
bed Somebody has taken your scarfpin %
"My scarfpin" said the eminent come
dian. "Why, it's in my scarf on the bu-
reau. remember / left it there last
night" "Oh, did your" said she, with
asperity, as she snatched the scarf from
the bureau. Just look here!'' eyes
there it is" said the eminent comedian,
and he turned over and went to sleep
again. He says that ever since then his
wife has been subject to occasional relapses
into deep thought when her eyes are fixed
upon him with PARKWAY look, and he
knows that she is wondering about her
vivid dream of getting up in the night and
dropping his scarfpin in the vase. New

John Kipana, Of Calumet, visited the
court house the other day on queer
Grand. He desired to find the owner OF
certain property near Van Orden's lime
KILN that he might get permission to dig
thereon for buried treasure. Lipana as
far back as the Fourth OF July began to
dream OF hidden treasures and In his
dreams stranger would appear and
command him to go and dig in certain
place, describing it infinitely. Though
be had never been in Houghton except to
pass through on arriving in the country,
be had no trouble locating the spot in
dicated in his dream, W hich was on Mat
Van 0rden's lime kiln property. Mr..
Van 0rden readily gave the desired per-
mission, thinking no doubt that some OF
the rock with which he has had 80 much
trouble would he removed anyway.
Kipana has done little digging, but the
measure OF his success has not been great.
County Treasurer Frmodio thought he
bad to deal with a man whose mind was
unbalanced, but inquiry among Kipana's
trends results in the universal opinion
that the man is all right in mind and
simply influenced by repeated dreams.
