Exciting Episode From Indin.

Dinner was just finished, and sew
eral English officers were sitting
around the table. Tho conversation
had not been animated, and there
came a lull, as the night was too hot
for small talk. The Major of the
regiment, clean-cut man of fifty-fve,
turned toward his next neighbor at
the table, young subaltern, who was
leaning back in his chair with his
hands clasped behind his head, star
ing through the cigar smoke at the
ceiling. The Major was slowly look
ing tho mau over, from his handsome
face down, when, with sudden alert
ness and in quiet, steady voice, he
said; Don't move, please, Mr.. Car
ruthers. want to try an experiment
with you. Don't move muscle" +"
"All right, Major, responded the
subaltern, without even turning his
eyes; "hadn't the least idea Of NOV
ing, assure you! What's the game?"
BY this time all the others were listen
ingin lazily expectant way. "Do you
think" continued the Major-and his
voice tremblel just little-"that
you cGn keep absolutely still for, say,
two minutes-to save your life?" care
you ioking?" 'On the contrary,
movo muscle and you are dead
man. Can you stand the strain P'
The subaltern barely whispered
YES" and his face paled slightly.

The good ship Regular, while on a
voyage from Liverpool to Bombay,
was caught off the Cape of Good Hope
in gale. She sprung serious leak,
and captain and crew had to take take
to the boisterous sea in open boats.
They had run so far off the course Of
vessels that there was small prospect
OF rescue. "What seemed the direct
intervention of Providence was evil
dent in their case" says Commander
Pasco, in ga Rowing Commission"
Captain Boi, of the French frigate
L'Alcmene, who rescued the captain
and crew from the boats, tells how it
was brought about. He was on the
deck of his vessel at the moment, as
afterward appeared, when the sinking
ship was abandoned, and remarking
to the officer of the watch that it was
time to change the course of
L'Alcmene, he went below to consult
the chart.
'I went into my cabin" he says,
"for the sole purpose OF consulting
the chart, but paused for moment to
S'UAOo Nv u pOOh thup iuy OpGn Ou lho
table. There l fell asleep, q most un-
usual thing for me during daylight.
"I slept on, knew not how long,
but when I walked it was dark and I
was both cold and hungry. My last
waking thought had beon of changing
the vessels course; and I went on
deck, supposing that that had been
done, but found the ship still steering
east.
"'How is this?" I asked; did I not
direct the course to be altered?'
"I was told that you were going to
consult the chart, replied the officer,
'and then fix tho course
$50 I did; what time is it?' I
asked.
"'Past midnight, sir; this is tho
middle watch
"'All right I said, we will con-
tinuo on this course until we get sights
for longitude in the morning
"Before that was done we had
sighted ono boat and rescued its crew;
and we kept on the same course until
we found the second boat"

Consul Convey at Yokohama says
there has been an astonishing increase
in the imports of American -four into
Japan. In 1892 the total import of
flour was 1902 pounds, but in 1896
the business had sweued to total of
50, 600, 600 pounds. During 1897 the
quantity of imports slightly fell off,
but the value increased $50, 1873, as
compared with the preceding year.

We call ourselves big people, and
we are in many respects, as for exam
pie, in the matter of size of our iron
mills, Some American furnaces pro-
duce from 25OO to 1000 tons of pig
iron every week, while the average
weekly output in England is from
500 to 700 tons, This fact explains
in part the ability of American iron
manufacturers to successfully CON-
pete with English manufacturers.

On the island of Sardinia brigaud-
age is apparently more profitable
pursuit than literature. Perhaps the
same is true elsewhere. However, in
the case of Italy's little island the
death of Sails Giovanni Corbadu, poet,
novelist, historian - and brigand-
proves it. Now that he is deal, it
appears that robbery furnished him a
living, while the composition of un-
salable verses diverted his leisure
hours. His productions are now be-
ing published

Pending the construction OF the
"Cape to Cairo" railroad in Africa it
is to be observed that there is at the
present moment highway open for
travel over that very route, partly on
lakes and rivers by steamer, and part
ly on land by railroad and wagon, 1t
follows the Nile, the great lakes, and
the grand trek through Matabeleland
and Mashonaland. The distance from
Cape Town to Cairo is about $3.50
miles, and it may be traversed in safety
and comfort in eighty-fve days.

HOSANNA AND HUZZAH.

Ere ever the guns arc silenccd;
Ere ever the mandate, Peacel
Shall fall on the raging nations,
Shall bid all their warfare cease;
Ere ever the lamb in slumber
Lies safe meath tho lions paw,
We will cry to the East: Hosanna!
We will call to the West: Huzzah!
A hymn to the God Of Battles,
Who giveth the conq'rlnS sword,
Who harlls to the cry for justice,
Who bends for the weak ones word;
A hymn for the grandest triumph
Fer given the world to cheer
We will lift that the East may harken,
We will sing that the West may hear.

Far over tho waving banners
The foundry's fiame-plumes swirl;
And over the stoker blazons
The flag which he helped unfurl.
But il o'er our hearths one hovers
The glory of sacrifice
We will make to the East no meanings,
We will make to the West nc cries.
The fires of conquest kindle;
Tho clang of our sword sounds far;
The lion pUrrs as he watches
His whelp at the game of war.
But ere we forget In our triumph,
And lest we grow faint in our cause,
We will cry to the East Hosannas,
We will shout to the West Huzzahs.

When you come to think of it
Adam and Eve were very fortu-
nate people. Adam never had
to run dead heats with the
house dog He did not even
have to sit in the parlor and
talk politics with Eve S father.
When they quarreled and Eve
climbed a tree, Adam didn t
have to write long letters and
wait until Ewes temper recov-
cred it's sweetness. He never
patronized confectionery stores;
he plucked d nice pineapple and
presented it with his compli-
ments. Theirs was a beautiful
dream Of welded life. When
Eve wanted new dress Adam
went to the nearest fig tree and
got it. And Eve never felt
called upon to mend a bursted
buttOnhole or to take all the
blame when he stumbled over
the rocking chair It was a
monopoly ofunadllterated com
fort; and if Eve had only had
the feminine sagacity to lift up
her skirts and scream when she
saw the snake we would not be
having all this trouble now,
