HORRORS OF DARK AGES.
Visions conjured UP in Torture Room
of Ancient Tyrant.

The horror of horrors in all Italy is
found at Padua, known as the torture
rooms of that Economical monster Of
cruelty, Ecelino, a thirteenth century
ruler of Verona, Padua, Vicenza and
Brescia. His cruelties finally became
so intolerable that the church pro-
claimed crusade against him. The
peasantry rose and farmer killed the
brute with scythe. / was shown an
upright box in which was the skeleton
of victim. Two apertures enabled
the condemned to see table, just
out of reach, crowded with food and
drink. To-day. it is stage food and the
wine is colored water, but the realism
Is intense. The climax of shudders
was reached when l came to block
in the center of a small square room.
Nailed to the chopping block, severed
midway between the wrist and elbow,
lay the dainty hand of a woman, just
as it had been chopped from the living
arm! The instant my eyes saw this
sight the cell seemed to resound with
the shrieks of the terrified woman,
and, although the hand l gazed upon
was of wax, the mental shock pro-
duced was dreadful beyond conception.

ARE LoFTIEsT OF MINES.
Worked by Incas and Now to Be
Opened by New Company.

1t is thought that the old Caylloma
silver mines in Peru are probably sit
uated at greater elevation than any
other considerable mines in the world.
Their altitude varies between $4,000
and 1900 feet. They were worked by
the Spaniards in the sixteenth century,
and before that, it is believed, by the
1ncas. An English company is now
preparing hydro-electric plant for
them. This plant will be situated at
an altitude of between 5000 and 49,
600 feet. 1t will derive it's power from
waterfall on the Santiago river, and
in a dry season from Lake Huaillacho,
one of the sources of the Amazon. The
power will be transmitted by cable
about three miles. At the highest
mines the pressure of the atmosphere
Is only eight and one-half pounds
square inch, and water boils "a de-
grees below the ordinary boiling point.

Lieht-Toed Gentry,

THE best pickpockets,' said the de-
tective, are the Hlndoos. You have
to call them light-toed as we'll as light
fingered, for they can lift watch or
purse as easily with their feet as with
their hands. Trained from childhood,
these bare-footed rascals are wonder
fully skillful with their toes. This
gives them great advantage. A Hin
doc in crowd will stand with his
arms ostentatiously folded and sneak
with his foot the wallet from your
trousers pocket"

One Step at a Time.

1t is wonderful how much practical
wisdom about the smallest perplexi-
ties of daily life comes to men who
keep both their feet and their wishes
still until Providence-the world pre-.
fers to call it circumstances
clears path for them. No doubt in
all our lives there come times when
we seem to have been brought into a
blind alley, and cannot see where we
are to get out; but it is very rare in
deed that we do not see one step in
advance the duty which lies next us.
And be sure of this. that If we are con-
tent to see but one step at a time, and
take it, we shall find our way made
plain.-Rev. Alexander Maclaren.
