You would search the Bible pretty

it would be in Sterne's Sentimental

tured mere once TOO often. AS sure
as there is life in me, you go not
hence alive"
Hold. Olga!!'' spoke the monk,
and so strange and powerful was the
tone that, though the duke had
turned toward the door, yet he stop
ped. "'This lady tells me you mean
to aake her your wife. Is it so ?"
"Out, accurscd monk. Who gave
thee right to question me? ?"
"By my soul, proud duke, you
shall know that anon. But listen.
If you force this lady to that thing,
you do it at your peril! You had
better seek the fabled potion Of the
gods and drink and be a dog than
do that thing
sHold a moment, monk!" cried
the duke, now nearly blind with pas
sion. ''You go not hence alive!
What, no, there! Without, [ say!
Zenobie, pull that bellcord-quick!
Back, monk! You pass not here
alive! What, no! Without, there!"
Beware, Olgap spoke the monk
as calmly as before, at the same time
drawing heavy pistol from his
bosom and cooking it. II would
shoot you as I would a dog! Offer
me one motion Of impediment to my
passage, and you die on the in
stant!"
Instinctively the duke moved to
one side. There was something in
the look and tone Of the strange
man that he dared not cope with
then. The monk passed out, but as
soon as he was gone the duke sprang
to the bellcord and pulled it till he
broke it. In a few moments more
the servants came rushing in.
"Out, dogs" the madman shout
ed, "and stop that monk from leav-
ing the palace! Kill him on the
spot where you IND him II he dares
to offer the least resistance! Kill
him! You have my orders, and l
am alone responsible!"
Thus speaking, the duke rushed
from the apartment to start up
more of his household. First to the
gate of the court he went. But the
monk was not there, nor had he
been there. Then he rushed to the
postern, but that was locked, and
the snow was untrodden before it.
He returned to the hall, and@one b.
one the servants came back from
the search.
No monk could be found!
At first Olga was tempted to be-
heve that his servants deceived him.
But he quickly set that thought
aside, for he could see by their coun-
tenances that they were as much
astonished as he. The search was
renewed, but the strange man was
not to be found! There was some
wonder and some urcasiness.

Brain Work and Longevity.

In lecture on longevity delivered
before the Royal College Of Physicians
Sir Hermann Weber, himself an octo-.
genarian, gave official support to the
doctrine that brain work does not kill,
but rather the reverse. 4 few of his,
instances were Sophocles, Plato. Gaien,
Cicero. Moltke, Bismarck, Mommsen,
and Gladstone, to whom we might add.
Hobbies. Carlyle. Spencer and Kelvin.
The facts are that brain work increases
the supply Of blood to the nerve cells
and promotes their nutrition and
health. Mosso. an Italian. laid man
on delicateiy balanced table and
showed that the head end sank when
ever the subject did mental sum or
any other brain work. The increased
weight Of his head was due to the life
giving blood. The truth is that brain
work. as such. never killed anybody

Changing a Snake Into Rod.
In q volume on the snakes Of Egypf
Hippolyte Boussac states that the in
cident referred to in the Scriptures of
changing :, snake into a rod is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They
touch the snake at certain place in
the neck. when it falls into a cataleptic
condition and becomes straight and
stiff. It is then restored to its former
condition by taking its tail between the
hands and firmly rolling.
