Furniture of Silver and Gold.

There are many rooms in the world
furnished in silver. Aside from crown
ed heads. Mrs Mackay is probably the
only person who possesses a set Of
silver furniture. In her London house
she has reception room in which the
chairs. tables, ETC., are of solid silver.
In Windsor Castle is set Of furniture
made of silver which was presented to
Charles III. by the city of London, and
the Shah OF Persia has a silver set Of
furniture in one of his reception rooms
The Sultan of Turkey, who is so heav-
lily in debt. has not only a set of sill
yer furniture, but a dining table Of
the same precious metal. The only
other person who is known to have a
set of silver furniture is the Car Of
Russia, who has one room in the Krem-
lin in Moscow filled with silver and
gold furniture.-New York Press.

CHAPTER X.

About IL o'clock that same night
Doctor brakes night bell pealed nois-
fly, to be answered almost immediate
ly by the Doctors head thrust out Of
an upper window.
whats up?" he inquired with char
acteristic briefness.
"Mrs. Eddy's baby, sir-fits; don't
think you'll find it alive when you get
there" replied the messenger with a
curtness that rivaled the Doctors.
Mrs Eddy Of Westbourne?"
Eyes. sir. She caught me as I was
passing, and begged me very particu-
larly to tell you"
All right, I'll be off in ten min
utes," said the Doctor, closing the
window, not in the very best of tenn
pers. He had been up for three nights
running, with the result that MS
groom had violent chill. and must
not, in common humanity, be dis
turbed.
II must put my own horse into the
dog-cart and drive myself unless"
thought the Doctor with rather grim
smile, II wake up that worthless dog
who is asleep on my surgery sofa. 1t
would do him no end of good to drive
five miles out in the night air. He
shall help me to harness the horse,
and can hold him for me at the other
end: and on the road I'll talk to him
and let him hear piece Of my mind"

Needless to say, the worthless dos"
referred to was Neville. whom Doctor
Drake had taken in according to ia
netta's request; but, determined not
to pamper the youth, had offered him
a resting place upon the couch in his
surgery. which Neville had accepted
rather shamefacedly.
Wake up will yOu?" said the Doc
tor, putting his hand on the lads
shoulder. you can help me II you
like. My groom is i'll, and I'm sent
for into the country; I want a hand
with the horse"
"All right" said Neville. looking
round him with rather dazed eyes. His
sleep had sobered him, but he could
not remember clearly where he was.
You'll do nOw-yOu are fairly So
ber," continued the Doctor, with blunt
frankness. III lend you a great coat;
the nights are cold
In few minutes more they We're
ready for the start, and presently the
dogcart passed at rapid rate up the
hill on the side of which lay the
Grange, standing out white and clear
in the moonlight
The Doctor pointed at it with his
whip.
THAT is where your sister lives"
q know was there last night"
said Neville.
Il though it more than probable that
you did not remember anything about
it," replied Drake. not unkindly. "You
may think me a queer fellow to bring
you out with me like this in the dead
of night l did it partly cor my own
convenience, but more that | may give
you a word or two of warning. I know
little enough of yOu-only that You
came half-seas-over to my house last
night, and that you are giving that
sister of yours a bad time Of It. I'm
older than you are-ever so much,
some fifteen years should think; and
it seems a pity to me that young
fellow like You should be going
straight to the bad"
The Doctor said much more in the
same strain during the drive. and Ne
vile had time for reflection as he
walked the horse up and down the
road whilst the Doctor watched by
the cradle of the baby. whose life he
was so anxious to save. Perhaps fo-
the first time in his life he was thor
Oughly ashamed of himself.
No man had hitherto troubled him
self to put the boys conduct before
him with such unyarnished simplicity
as the Doctor had done tonight. and
Neville was considerably taken aback
by the picture.
Eve been a perfect beast" he said;
but there shall be an end of it from
tonight"
He repeated the assertion to the Doc
tor when at last they were upon their
homewaTd way

Some time ago Anthony Holland
and wife, highly respected residents
of Tallahatchie county, Mississippi
were found dead in a wood near their
home. They were most devoted
couple and the conclusion arrived at
was that Mrs. Holland was accident
ally shot, Mr.. Holland through grief
committing suicide with the remain
ing barrel of the shotgun which he
carried. The estate was settled on the
basis of this suppOsition, but on ap-
peal to the courts it was shown that
when the bodies We're found that of
the wife was still warm, while Mr..
Hollands was cold. Therefore the wo-
man must have survived her husband

Report Was Not Explicit.

An embarrassing moment occurred
at one of the annual meetings OF the
committee of the Church Of England
Temperance society, over which the
late bishop of London presided. Inc
report of the ladies committee was
read, which, among other information,
contained the statement that during
the last year much attention had
been paid to barmaids." very au-
dible litter ran round the meeting,
which was changed to undisguised
laughter as the following words were
read: This has, in many cases, led
to their being visited in their homes.
So loud was the merriment of the
clergy that the chairman, fearful OF
more alarming antiquities, rose and
smilingly observed: Perhaps gen.
tlemen, we may take the report as
ead."-London Chronicle.

"She and Mason between them have

She rose to her feet as she spoke.
for she heard a sound as of some one
moving gently about. and she went
swiftly to Clarices room to see if she
were awake. A fresh wave of repent
ance swept over her, for Clarice's fair
face, with the traces of recent tears
upon it, was pressed against the pill
lows; but, to Janets unutterable
thankfulness, her regular breathing
and fast-shut eyes showed her to be
asleep.
She crept from the room, shutting
the door behind her, and returned to
her own; and then her heart stood
still, for from behind her door stepped
a man with a mask on his face, who
rapidly shut the door and set his back
against it. and Janetta caught the
sound of a pistol lightly clicked

TESTED WITH SALT.
How an Apache Chief Selected Warriors
for a Hard CamnaIgn.

for a Hard Campaign.
In the early days OF Union Pacific
railroading, Victoria, Mana and the
present Geronimo the three chiefs OF
the Arizona Apaches. with 100 OF the
best bucks, came through TO Green
River, Wyo. They had heard OF the
heap wagon and no boss" and had
come to stop the train. They made
lasso of Tawhide and fifty men on each
side held on TO the rope as the freight
came down the Wasatch divide. The
engine driver saw, when several
miles away, what the Indians were up
10, so he whistled off brakes" and
opening his throttle let her loose. The
cOwcatcher struck the rope and hurled
the Indians in all directions, literally
tearing them to pieces. headless, arm
less and legless. The three chiefs went
south TO their cactus plants much
crestfallen. Before they selected these
men the old Chief Victoria had them
all eat piece of rock salt about as big
as a pecan, run swiftly about 100
yards, sit down on q rock or log and
cross their legs. Then he watched the
vibration of the feet which were cross
ed. The feet which yibrated the
longest strokes he declined to accept
for a severe duty or a dangerous trip,
or for one that was at all hazardous.
But he accepted the feet which vibrat-
ed short. distinct and regular strokes.
Now, what did that old chief know
about pulsation OF the arterial system
or of heart action, and, indeed. about
salt in the system? l have lived near
to Indian reservations and have had
occasion often to survey over their
lands for railroads and other objects.
and since this salt controversy I have
wondered where old Victoria got his
idea. Is not the child Of the sage
brush plains better posted than his
paleface brother2-New York Herald.

Not Half Paid.

Mr.. Barrie was one day at Waterloo
station in hurry to catch a train. He
was fastening from the book stall
laden with papers, "a good many six-
penny ones among them" he dolefully
relates, when, in rushing round a cor
ner he fell in the arms of Rudyard
Kipling, equally in a tearing hurry.
Then they smiled in recognition and
asked each other whittier he went.
Then Kipling exclaiming, Lucky beg

bundle from Barrie, flung him some
money and made off. But you did

Rnssia,s Many WATERWAYS.

No other country is so prodigaily
endowed with navigable rivers as
Russia. The rivers of Russia have
their sources within a comparatively
few miles of each other, all OF the
great streams rising within the area
of the broad plateau of the north. so
that it was no difficult feat to con
meet the headwaters of the numerous
rivers. The construction of less than
400 miles of actual canals, made it
possible TO travel by barge from Arch
angel on the Arctic to Astrakan on
the Caspian, a distance of more than
5000 miles, from st. Petersburg to the
foot of the Urals, and from the Baltic
to the Black Sea by three distinct
routes, to say nothing of Moscow and
numerous other inland cities which
were brought into direct water COM

person with a vivid imagination might
even believe in the theory of the Pytha

that inanimate things are endowed
with souls. Certain evOlutiOnistS OF
today trace the origin of man back to
stones. asserting that in their ALBANIAN

vading essence of spirit, and that the
spark emitted from their crystalline
hearts is the revelation of the i'm
prisoned soul within. From time i'm

pitiatory offerings at holy shrines, as
token of amity from one crowned head
to another as mystic messengers OF
affection between distant friends, as
pledges of cOnStancy exchanged be-

and died. Kingdoms have crumbled,
families have been rent asunder, hus-

The million left by sam Lewis, the

since his death continue to be a nine
days wonder among his acquaint-
ances in London. Beginning his ca

with marvellous rapidity. one reason
for this was that he never lost any, or
hardly ever, even at the gaming
tables, where he was delighted to take
his turn. To the poor people VINO

he always replied that a poor person
could not afford to borrow. An artist
