unusual sounds in the hall below. She

denly In an unlucky moment he struck
match upon the staircase. The lady
could see the burglar, but the burglar

Every day at noon at Grindelwald
there is a rush of visitors for the tele-
scopes in order to gaze at one Of the
most interesting natural scenes In the
Alps, 1.-The channels trail" Regularly
at this hour a herd of twenty to thir-
ty channels may be seen passing in
Indian file up the yawning abysses of
the precipitous Mettenberg rocks, sep
arating two glaciers, the male animals
leading the way, the king of the herd
keeping twenty yards in advance and
on the watch. At the bottom Of the
Mettenberg, where the slope is freed
from snow, the chamois find a meager
subsistence when their usual feeding
grounds are under deep snow. 1t is
a curious fact that the channels de-
scend to their feeding grounds at
dawn, when there is little likelihood
of avalanches, and return to their
haunts at an hour when avalanches-
for this portion Of the mountain has
frequent avalanches-have already fall
en- and the danger is past.-Geneva

that upon one occasion MADDOX Brown,

Mrs Whistler, who begged him to go

A Queer Hiding Place.

During a furious storm In Paris a
janitor was struck on the shoulder by
small but heavy tin box which had
fallen from an upper story of house
in the Rue de rOuest. The box was
found to contain $4,000 in gold and

station by an elderly woman, who said
that the money constituted her entire
savings. which she had hidden by ty-
ing the box to the drainpipe outside
her window.
