Rhod., 4 Temperance Girl.

Rhoda's mother died and left seveL
children, she being the youngest. Her
mothers sister took her and brought
her up as her own. At the age of two
years, Rhoda had the. scarlet fever and
when she recov cred she was nearly
blind. A bandsEe was worn over
the eyes, or else she carried her right
arm over them, until the shoulder
blade grew out Of shape. Doctors were
called in but they said at thirteen years
Of age she would be stone-blind and
there was no help. In spite of this.
Rhoda learned to read and write.
Building blocks and A B G books were
gotten for her; in fact, she lacked moth
ing to make her happy. As she grew
older glasses were fitted, but to no
avail, for she had nearly lost the sight
of her right eye. When she was eight
years old she commenced to go to
school, and, under difficulties, kept
along with her class, and at thirteen
her health and left eye grew stronger.
Her education is snow nearly com
pleted. The Lord has been good to
her through these years and by His
help she will fight King Alcohol while
he gives her the poa&er to do it.De-

Railroad Economy.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables,
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. It generally
takes four men to turn locomotive.
and while they are doing 80 their reg
ular work Is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter Of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant.
and it cost on an average Of less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand 1t cost IL cents for
each engine. The yearly saving Is
about $709.

A Moorish Execution.

A correspondent at Tangier gives
the following account Of the execution
of native for the murder OF Herr
Hassner. a German banker, In Decem-
Der last, says the London Times. The
circumstances of the murder have re-
NAMED extremely mysterious. The
German legation there put pressure on
the local authorities. After short
time a woman went over to Gibraltar
for safety and sent word from there
that she could throw light on the al
fair. Upon her information three men
"a Spaniard and two Moors-were ar
rested and thrown into the kasbar
(prison). Here they were tortured by
the thumb-screw and the Spaniard
confessed. He, however. was claimed
by the Spanish authorities and what
has become of him do not know
The other two were kept in prison.
They lay chained hand and foot by a
heavy three-inch chain in a small dun
geon, where they remained in almost
pitch darkness from the end Of De-
cember, with nothing to eat but bread
and water and very little Of that. OF
course, had not the murdered man
been . European, little would have
been heard of the matter.
A message then came from the sui
tan that one of the men was to be
shot. The basha, who is an authority
here, desired this to be carried out in
private. but the German minister In
sisted upon a public execution. On the
day Of the execution / went down to
the Soko market place.. About 9
dozen Europeans only were present
and among them were two French la
dies on horseback. "A posse Of sol
diers soon marched through the gate
way, having in their midst the con-
demned man himself, seated on dom
key, with his feet chained together. l
think he was too much dazzled to COM
prehend fully all that was passing.
The prisoner was taken, unresisting,
of the donkey and made to kneel with
his face away from the soldiers. Two
of the men were told off to shoot him.
They refused, upon which the basha's
head man with asperity repeated the
order. Then they walked up to within
five yards Of the prisoner and fred
two shots into his back. He rolled
over, but was not dead. His body con-
tinued twitching spasmodically for
fully five minutes, when an order was
given to dispatch him finally, where
upon one of the men walked up to
him, placed gun close to his head
and fired. The corpse was buried in
sacred ground. All the Moors, even
the authorities. basha included, looked
upon the prisoner as a martyr. Why,
they asked, should a good Mohamme-
dan die for dog of a Christian? The
feeling Is universal and If it were not
for the legations Europeans would not
be very safe.
