The Awful Cold That Comes With
Eighty Degrees Of Frost.

1t is difficult to form any conception
Of the degree of cold represented by 80
degrees of frost that at times prevails
in certain parts Of Russia. Sir Leopold
McClintock tells us how in one Of his
arctic expeditions sailor was foolish
enough to do some outdoor work at
precisely this temperature. His hands
froze, and when he rushed into the
cabin and plunged one of them into a
basin of water so cold was the hand
that the water was instantly converted
into a block of ice.
At % degrees, DR.. Kane says, ''the
mustache and underlip form pendu-
lous beads of dangling ice. Put out
your tongue, and it instantly freezes to
this Icy crusting. Your chin has a
trick of freezing to your upper jaw by
the happy aid of your beard. My eyes
have often been so glued as to show
that even wink was unsafe
During a theatrical performance Civ
en- by the crew of his ship at an inside
temperature of 80 degrees "the con-
densation was so excessive that we
could barely see the performers. Their
hands steamed. When an excited Thes-
plan took off his coat it smoked like q
dish of potatoes. Any extra vehemence
Of delivery was accompanied by vol
umes of smoke."-Pearsons Weekly.

War Office Methods and the Test OF a
Mountain Gun.

The story that a gun of marvellous
possibilities invented in England may
be sold abroad owing to the apathy OF
the powers that be is not altogether
surprising.
Whitworth refused Napoleon HIS
offer of $4,000 year for life 10 80 to
Paris and manufacture his cannon for
the French army but perhaps our war
Office was not so faddy then AIS now.
Some little time ago new gun for

out to India to be tried. 1t was drag

to all the tests which veteran officer
accustomed to war with the hill tribes
could suggest.
The report was satisfactory In every
respect but a war Office genius bland
" asked If the gun had been dropped
down precipice. 1t had not.
The war office was Mortified and
amazed at the neglect of so elementary
a test. The gun was now dropped down
a precipice with the inevitable result
its Intervals were irremediably dam
aged.
How was 1t possible, the war Office
asked, to accept such weapon? And
the army of India was left to potter
along with obsolete weapons because
this new arm would not stand impos-
sible tests.-London Sketch.

The Order of ST. Patrick.

The most illustrious Order of ST.
Patrick" dates only from 1888, says a
London writer, when it was founded
by George Ill, and is not to be COM
pared in age with 'the most ancient
and most noble Order of the Thistle"
which, dating from remote antiquity,
was revived by James III. in 1857. The
curious thing about the bands, or rib
bons, of these two orders is that ST.
Patrick's is blue of the hue that may
be seen in the tackles" or plumes, in
the bearskins of the Irish guards,
though it suggests the blue bells of
Scotland, while the sash Of the thistle
is dark green, suggestive Of Erin's
verdant isle. On state ceremonies
these two orders are frequently con-

half lifted his hand as If he ex-

dropped again, and he stood looking at

and when he spoke there was world
Of pathos in his voice.

sentfully. This man should have no
opportunity for bringing up those vul-

a trife waniy.
II don't just see how that's posi-

hand Indignantly.
"Will you please sit DOWN." she said,
and Pike made an awkward bow.

with the faintest accent on the last
word, and obediently took the chair

She was about to answer when from
a distance came the roll of drums and
then the sound Of bugle. The sounds
came from afar off, as If below the
cliff.
They both stopped to listen. Then
the servants came running, with Mari
ano at their head. They rushed to the
wall and leaned over, all excitement.
Mariana turned to call to them over
his shoulder:
1.-THE bandit Of Russia! The soldiers
think he is hidden in grotto under
these cliffs
AS he spoke Almeric ran down the
steps with shotgun in his hand and
made for the steps leading down the
face Of the cliff. Pike turned to Ethel:
81 saw that fellow on the road here.
What's he meant for?''
Ethel turned angrily from the law

"Almeric!'
st. Aubyn turned and stopped.
"Hellow he said.

approached. This is Mr. st. Aubyn,"
she said steadily.
Almeric stared at Pike through his
monocle and laughed.

How very odd! You'll have to see the
governor and our solicitor about that
settlement, though. I've some impor-
tant business here. The police are
chasing bally convict chap under the
cliff yonder, SO you'll have to excuse
me. You know there's nothing like a
little convict shooting to break the
blooming monotony-what?"
He turned and rushed off down the
stairway. Pike turned to look after
him in mute establishment and then
turned to Ethel. She refused to meet
his glance, and the hot blood rose to
her face as she felt his scrutiny.
She tapped nervously with her foot,
and the establishment grew in Daniels
face. He looked from her to where AL
meric had disappeared and back to her
again. Then lie took a step forward
as If to speak and stopped. Finally
the dawning horror in his face took
concrete form, and he spoke.
"ThatV he groaned. Seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars for

But she was unable to meet his eye.
Turning quickly, with her cheeks fam

into the hotel and left him standing
speechless on the spot.

For a fieeting instant Horace stared
at him and then dropped his chin and
walked away.
II shall never hold up my head
again." he said.
The sudden horror of the revelation
that Horace had drawn forth bore
down upon Ethel's mind with a crush
ing weight.
To her artifcialized understanding
the disgrace was more than she could
ever hope to bear, and Horace's eX-
pressed thought that he should never
be able to hold up his head again was
but q vivification of her own.
Surely it would have been bad
enough, she told herself, If this fearful
thing had come upon them privately,
but to have it appear in the full light
of day and in the very hearing of the
family of the man she was about to
marry was too cruel.
And with an inward groan she leaned
for a moment against the terrace wall
where the countess had left her. When
the first establishment had passed and
she had time to realize what had oc-
CURED, events that had seemed but
feeting impressions rose up before her
In all their vivid nakedness. Nine. de
Champigny had looked at her with
astute contempt, she was sure. and she
dimly remembered seeing the look of
Mortified amazement upon the patrician
features of the Earl of Hawcastle.
Then, with an awakened resentment,
the fighting blood of the sturdy plebe-
ian Simpson stock the stock that had
upheld its end in the battle against
oppression in several wars. came back
to her with rush, and she decided to
see this awful man and give him to
understand that he must go away at
once and never insult her again by
his uncouth and vulgar presence. Such
business as had to be transacted could
be done through an intermediary.
With q bracing of her spirit she
stepped forward resolutely and came
up close behind Pike as he stood with
dropping jaw gazing in perplexity
after the retreating. Horace. Ethel cast
a look Of loathing upon the straight
back Of the guardian Of her peace and
ground her little boot heel into the
stone tagging. She glanced up and
saw that the common German was
looking at Pike with grave sympathy
and even understanding. and instantly
she hated him for it. Then she saw
him take his cap from the obsequious
Mariana and turn away. When he had
gone she said in q low voice:
81 am Miss Granger-Simpson."

CHURCH TIME.
Quaint Ways of the Early Dutch Set
tiers In the New World.


AS early as 1869 the Dutch settlers
at Kingston, n. Y, erected with their
own hands little church building and
dedicated it the following year. When
a regular minister arrived from Hol-
land the same year, writes Mrs. Nellie
Urner Wellington in Historic Churches
of America" he found himself a DOM
inie with membership Of but six
teen souls and a salary paid In wheat,
which was then legal tender among
these humble tillers of the soil.
In 1904 bell was imported and gave
such pleasure to the members of the
little. parish that they used it to an
nounce the hours for meals for the
farmers of the neighborhood.'
The observance of one quaint Gus
tom was reminiscent of their former
life I'm Holland-the announcement by
the gray haired sexton between the
ringing Of the first and last church
bells that the hour for service had ar
rived.
From door to door he travelled, rap
ped loudly and cried, Church timer
Notices of all kinds, whether Of fu-
nerals, christenings, weddings or mer-
rymakings, were handed first to the
sexton, who In turn gave them to the
clerk, who stuck them on the end OF
the bamboo pole which he kept for
that purpose and reached them up to
the dominic.
At the termination of the service, as
I'm other Dutch churches, the deacons
took up the collection with long poles
having little velvet bags hung on the
ends and tinkling bell to wake the
sleepers to the responsibilities OF
