beyond all, is the hallmark of your quality
Indeed, 1t was well that was so far fit
to show my face, since I was to be plunged
into the midst of the stream with a sudden
ness which startled, although it could not
| displease me. For the first beginning was
indebted to Mr.. Darrell for what followed TO
myself alone, and a temper that has never
been of the most patient.
We had reached our inn and refreshed
ourselves, and 1 was standing looking out
| on the evening and wondering al what time
| 1t was proper for me to seek my bed. when
| my friend entered with an eager air and
| advanced toward me, crying:
Dear sir, 1 hope your wardrobe is In
| order. for am resolved to redeem my word
forthwith, and tonight to carry you with
me to an entertainment for which 1 have
received an invitation. l am most anxious

| Rochester and the French ambassador, M.
de Cominges, very stately gentleman.
| These, however, being at the other end of
the table, 1 made no acquaintance with

Why. it my lords kindness. He has
spoken for me-

and nodded round the circle in the satisfac-

New Orleans and Voodoo.
From Lippincott's.


An oath to the sea serpent is part of the
Voodoo initiation. A hideous black mass is
sometimes celebrated, an inconsistent de-
sire existing to incorporate this Internal
cult with Christianity. Lighted candles are
placed on altar and invocations made to
satanic agencies to compass evil ends, the
ruin instead of the salvation of some per-
son. No respectable tradesman Will keep
these black candles.

figures he can't be stopped by any
mathematician in the world. He is a

Cotton Oil Company. In multiplication
Gardhire is as quick as thought. Be-
fore the average person can set the fig
