Saved by April Fool Time.

~SS~ ~ SNphp sSOs
When Francis, duke of Lorraine,
and his wife were awaiting death in
the prison of Nantes they chose as
the day for an attempt to escape the
LIST of April.
Disguised as peasants, says a
chronicler, the one bearing bod
on his shoulder, the other carrying
a basket of rubbish on her back,
they both at an early hour Of the
day passed through the gates of the
city. A woman having knowledge
of their persons ran to the guard to
give notice to the sentry:
"April foolp' cried the soldier,
and his comrades to man shouted
out, ssApril foolp'
The governor, to whom the Incl
dent was related as great jest, be-
came suspicious and ordered an in
vestigation, but it was too late, for
in the meantime the duke and his
wife were well ON their way. The
LIST of April had saved them.-Lon-

Sacred Trees Of India.

There are many sacred trees Of
India which enter largely into the
religious life Of the Hindoos. Chief
among these are the sami tree and
the trembling peepul. Nearly all
the higher hills and rocks in the
plains are crowned each by temple,
shrine or sacred tree. The peepul
is known as the king of trees. It is
the most holy, and the three great
spirits Of the Hindoos dwell therein.
The worship of the tree Is the wor-
ship Of the triad Brahma, silva and
Vishnu. Almost every Indian vii
lage has its peepul tree, with q
raised platform OF altar around it.
The devout remove their shoes be-
fore it and make obeisance before
proceeding on their way.

HE Very Remarkable Feat Required
/ Strength - Well a. Bravery.
The author of ssThe Malakand
Field Force" records the following
deed, which was performed in In
dia and was indeed q noble one.
It occurred after night had fallen
upon q holly contested battle
ground. The British had with
great difficulty repulsed an enemy
overwhelmingly superior in num-
bers and had withdrawn into their
defenses. The deadly. hollow some
distance in front Of their lines, call
ed ssthc cup" was commanded from
several directions by the fire Of the
natives and swept at intervals by
their swordsmen.
Lieutenant Ford had been seri-
ously wounded in the shoulder. The
bullet cut the artery, and he was
bleeding to death when Surgeon
Lieutenant V. Hugo came to his
aid. The fire was too hot to allow
OF lights being used. There was no
cover Of any sort. It was at the
bottom of the cup. Nevertheless
the surgeon struck a match at the
peril OF his life and examined the
wound. The match went out amid
a sputter of bullets, which kicked
up the dust all around, but BY its
uncertain light he saw the nature
of the injury.
"The officer had already tainted
from loss of blood. The doctor seiz-
ed the artery, and as no other iga-
ture was forthcoming he remained
under fire for three hours, holding
a mans life between his finger and
thumb. When at length it seemed
that the enemy had broken into the
camp he picked up the unconscious
officer in his arms and, without re-
laxing his hold, bore him to place
of safety"
For many hours after this feat,
as remarkable for the strength dis
played as for the heroism which in
spired it, the gallant surgeons arm
was paralyzed and useless from the
strain. Little wonder. Not every
man could carry another away,
using one arm only and with the
other hand retaining a grasp which
had already lasted three hours upon
q severed artery.
'Had he not had the strength to
do so Lieutenant Ford must have.
died." is the way his commanding
officer put it when he narrated the
act in his dispatches.

OF the flying machine, live in Dayton,

employee of theirs for a number of
years, was absent on account of ILL.,

with him some dainties, including beef
tea.
In week or two the Irishman was
back at work. Seeing him at his post,
Mr.. Wright asked him how he liked his
beef tea.

bluntly.

Soon after his first baby was born
his wife went upstairs one evening and
found him standing by the side Of the
crib and gazing earnestly at the child.
She was touched by the sight, and
tears filed her eyes. Her arms stole
softly around his neck as she rubbed
her cheek caressingly against his
shoulder. He started slightly at the
touch.
