The Herrinus' Heads.

Miracles are not only of religion
Perhaps readers may have forgotten
the strange adventure Of the great
Johann Sebastian Bach. The story
was told by Bach himself and Is there
fore, we may be assured, substantial
ly true. Bach was a very young man
at the time. bis Chief object then was
to hear a great organist Of Hamburg
named Reinken. He was very poor,
and on one Of these journeys, return.
ing home, he found himself destitute
and yet far from Luneburg. So he sat
down on a bench outside an inn and
tried to dine on the smell of the cook
ing. Suddenly a window was thrown
open above and a couple Of behring's
heads fell at his feet. He picked them
up and discovered in each a. piece of
money! He could not find out who
his benefactor had been. But he made
a good use Of the gift, for he 1mmedi.
ately tramped back to Luneburg to
hear Reinken once more. However II
happened, it was a miracle. But Bach
was dwelling in the regions of the
miracle.-London Academy.

Earthquake In the Desert.

Hans Doring writes Of a singular ex-
perience in an earthquake while trav-
cling in the desert Of Cobb: II had just
dropped off to sleep when l woke up
with a feeling of great anxiety, which
I could not explain other than that
had a presentiment that some great
danger was impending. 1t was ex-
planned soon enough. All of sudden
while 1 was still wondering whence
my sudden fear came I heard loud
noise beneath the ground which sound
ed as If a subterranean express was
approaching Nearer and nearer it
came, and before I could get off the
bed on which I had been sleeping the
compound and the whole hamlet were
shaken by an earthquake. I thought
that my last hour had come and ex-
pected to see the walls collapse. The
rafters of the roof ratified on the
beams, and the whole house shook. If
the house had been higher it would
have collapsed, but the walls, not
quite ten feet high. are built Of mud,
with an elastic framework Of wood to
carry the roof 1t appears that these
houses are built to resist earthquakes,
their simplicity and elasticity saving
them from destruction"
