Yes. ask it; and may the goddess

she hears you. She answers you.
The East Indian Company is about to
perish from the worlds surface, and
the first Englishman whose blood will
be shed''-she here paused a moment,
only to finish her sentence in ringing
tones-"will be yourself, George NAL
colm.'
George, seeing himself recognized,
started.
Betrayed am betrayed!' he cried.
But you do not yet hold me!'
He endeavored to draw his sword
and defend himself but he had moi
time.
Saugor and Djerid were standing,
one to his right, the other to his left,
and the circle of natives had pressed
close about him during Djella's last
startling speech.
He was disarmed and thrown to the
ground without the ability to make q
movement.
Stop uttered low:
~ mad adventure. Into what gulf
have we fallen!''
Djella extended her hand toward the
unfortunate valet.
He is an accomplice," she said.
Make him also your prisoner" Then
with indefinable triumph, she added:
Il lave them all! You have escaped
the Gauges, George Malcolm: but I
swear to you that you shall not escape
me. The door of the sepulchre will be
open to admit you. You shall perish
there with Hcra Burtell! Doorgal,'
she continued. addressing the rajah,
mount Your horse and hasten to your
palace. You will there find your be-
loved Agnes. Do not spare your steed,
Doorgal! Devour space. Travel with
the lightning's swiftness! You must
haste to prove your love for the once
betrothed bride of George Malcolm!"
Il fly, princess"' replied the rajah,
radiant, and kissing Djella's hand as
he obeyed her.

Englishman to himself, while the ma
tives dragged him toward the sepul-

quered! They are lost."'
Two great tears rolled down his
cheeks, and his head sunk on his
breast.
Hope. master" said a low voice in
his ear. Il am here!"
1t was the voice of kazil who spoke
to him.

Slang in Boston.

Young society people in Boston have
formed slang club which has for
it's purpose the cultivation of artistic
slang. and the society already num-
bers it's members by the score. The
more sedate of Boston's citizens wiring
their hands in alarm at the new idea,
for anybody who can introduce good
slang word is eligible for membership.
AS considerable number of the elite
Of Boston's society have already been
proposed it seems that the new So
ciety has made very fair start in in
Producing new slang words. A COM
mit1ee is at work on the formation Of
A slang dictionary, and it has discov-
cred that New York S Bowery does not
contain half as much warped and
twisted English as turks in and around
Boston. Members of the slang club
argue that slang is an art, and that
real good slangy word expresses far
more than any conceivable sentence.
As far as lies in their power they will
promulgate slang in the society in
which they move, and once society gets
permeated-well. then I'VE shall spec, y
as one of the slang club members OBJ
serves. A member OF the slang club
is known as ''slanger." A man is
more definitely known as canary
while woman is known. ii she is
pretty. as fairy otherwise as
rice" Every week ''yellups" are held.
at which everybody talks slang, and

a MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK.
Exceptionally Clever Fraud Perpetrated

| by an Ingenious Jewelcr.
4 few years ago pubic curiosity
vas excited by the curious beans
called the devil beans of Mexico"
which shopkeepers placed in their
windows. They somewhat rescmbled
roasted coffee beans in shape and
color They were also known as the
| jumping BEANS owing to the fact
that from time to time they made
| spasmodic movements which propelled
them quite a little distance. The
beans grew on small bush in the
Mexican mountains, and it is con-
iectured that they belonged to the Or
Ter euphorbiaceae. The bean really
consisted of three similar pods which
| formed a single bean. 1t is usually a
third of the bean which was exhibited
| as a curiosity On opening the pod it
was found that it contained small
| larva, something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. 1t is this little
occupant which gives motion to the
bean by its jerks and thumps against
the side Of its home If the bean is
slightly warmed it begins to turn
from side to side, and perhaps with a
sudden thump turns completely over
and stands on one end, and then by
successive jumps moves quite dis
lance. Those who are not in the Sc
:ret are often greatly puzzled by this
strange bean. An enterprising jew
sler devised a scheme of utilizing
them to make magic clock. He ac-
,omplished this by initiating the shape
Of two of the beans, making the
dummy beans out of soft iron. One
he gilded and the other he silvered.
The prepared iron beans were placed
with the ordinary jumping beans on
hin white piece of pasteboard, out
lined and numbered like the dial of
clock. but devoid Of hands. The
dial was located over the works of
arge clock, which was placed face
upward on the floor of the store win
low. He fastened small magnets to
The ends of the hands. The works
were of course carefully hidden from
view. All that was in evidence was
The cardboard clock dial and the
jumping beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the cardboard
over the concealed hands with the
magnets attached. The magnets were
moved by the hands of the clock SO
that they were almost in contact with
the cardboard AS they moved around
hey carried the iron beans with them
thus telling the time of day, and the
public was greatly interested by the
intelligence shown by the TWO beans,
which distinguished them from their
lively associates.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

THE TRUSTS.

The tendency of the age is to the
formation of the trusts and combines.
Every thing now is going into trust.
This is one of the great problems
which now confront the people. The
trusts are getting to be all-powerful.
After while the thing will progress so
far that one big trust with hundreds of
millions of capital will gobble up all the
little trusts and the thing will be in
the hands of one set of men. Hardly
day passes but what some big trust
is formed and factories are shut down
and the production curtailed and
prices run up. 1t is not to be denied
that trusts cheaper the production
of manufactured articles, but they are
not cheapened at all to the consumer
They are made dearer to the consumer
aud the saving in the cost of the man.
ufacture goes into pockets of the
combine
tits problem just what to do about
these trusts. The States are unable
to cope with the Aeyil and it will take
the strong hand of the United States
goyernment to bring them to terms.
Under tie present federal administra-
ton the trusts are having things their
own way. No attempt q being made
| to check them and every day. these
trade throttlers are being formed The

A Speech BY Governor McLaurin.

Gov. McLaurin reached here on the
cannon ball train from Jackson, Sat
urday afternoon, and spoke about an
hour and a half after court adjourned.
The governor was introduced to the
audience by Judge H. Cassidy, chair
man of the county Democratic execu-
tive committee, and was greeted with
loud applause. The speech was pretty
much the same in substance which he
has made at other places.
In the beginning he referred to his
rocord as Sen.ator and what he had ac-
complished, and invited an investiga-
tion of his claims on this score. me
main portion was given to defense Oh
his administration as Governor. he
made no reference whatever to his op-
ponent, "Private" John Allen, except
to say he vas not trying to get to the
Senate OH the bad record or lack OF
record of any other man.
The Governor was more personal,
however, toward some of his critics.
