THEIR K sMET.

Proverbs, like gram,aa,ical rules, are
liable to exceptions. For instance, the
familiar saying. Lightning does not
strike twice in the same place" had
its exception during the bombardment
Of widin by the Russian batteries Of
Kalafat on the opposite shore Of the
Danube. The incident Is described by
DR.. Ryan in his book, "Under the Red
Crescent" the Turkish equivalent for
che Red Cross society.
The shells from the heavy siege guns
at Kalafat were dropping necessarily
within the fortress. One Of them as 1t
exploded tore great hole in the ground
large enough to contain u horse. A
Turkish woman. who was covering
with her three children under the shad.
ow of the wall, took refuge in the hole.
According 10 the law Of chances, 1t
was the least likely spot to be again hit
by shell. But scarcely had che crept
in and drawn the three children after
her when another shell, leaving the
lannon's mouth at Kalafat, nNqrly two
miles away, dropped into the same hole
and blew mother and children to atoms.
To the Turks the grim exception was
vivid illustration Of their doctrine OF
kismet, or fate The woman's hour had
come: kismet led her into that hole; II
was the place assigned for her departure
from earth.
Another shell struck the angle OF a
house. tora down the walls and reduced
one half of a room to ruins In the eth
or half Of the room were Turkish wo-
man and two children. They were not
even hurt Their kismet, according %
Turkish ideas. saved them.

sen.ntion and raIn.

Sensation is really mental impress
sion or special state Of consciousness.
resulting from the application OF an ex-
ternal stimulus acting under normal
conditions and therefore mostly pleasur-
able.
Pain, ON the other hand, is physical
state resulting from injury to aud con-
segment change in the material tissues
affected.
Thus the pressure Of the hand in love
or friendship IL Il normal stimulus Civ
ing rise TO corresponding mental emo.
tions, while the crushing grasp Of a
strong hand upon weaker dislocates
the nerves, muscles aud bones and in
duces pain.
Warmth and burning, GOODNESS and

able glare are II few Of the many other
illustrations that will suggest them
selves on consideration Of the subject.

MISSING VACANCIES

A short time since quite q discussion
arose among the officials OF one OF our
prominent Southern railroads as TO the
reason OF the many vexati0us delays and
troubles In the transmission OF local
freight. IL was clsimed BY some Of the
parties interested that 1t Was caused al
most entirely by the stupidity or inefil-
cheney Of the local agents, and IS there
WAS some difference Of opinion on this
point, IL was decided that the matter
should be tested.
To this end q tracer was prepared 10
due and formal shape, calling for the
whereabouts Of '.One Box Post-holes, I"
which It alleged vas missing from q
prior shipment. This was sent out In
the regular order of business, with MOTH
Ing except Its ''internal nothingness" to
draw attention TO Its unusual character,
and passed agent after agent without
eliciting comment or information save
the stereotyped endorsement, Not
here"
Some fifteen or eighteen local agents
were actually passed In this way, until
the tracer fell into the hands of bright
young fellow who was accustomed TO
looking into the business passing
through his hands, and who speedily
came to the conclusion that the tracer
had gone far enough. At any rate the
document went speedily back to the
general Office with the following endorse
ment: "Box Of Post-holes, as per en-
closed, held at this station for local
charges to amount of e3.5O. Will be
on receipt Of same" Under
this endorsement was written: IN. B.
The price OF beer at this station IL 81 so
per key" 1t Is said that the charges
went forward.-"The Drawer" In
