London, June 4fh.-A Vienna official stale
ment says 'Przemysl is again in the hands
of the Austrians'.
A Berlin ofdcia, statement announces
''Przemysl was taken by us early Yesterday
morning after the fortihcations on the north
ern front which still held out had been
stormed during the night. The booty taken
has not been ascertained. The army under
General Won Linsingen is penetrating the
district Of Zydaczow, northeast of Stry, and
fighting is proceeding for the Dniester sec
ton east Of Mikolajow. The prisoners taken
in the battle of Stry have increased to 60
officers and 12,176 men,.
A Russian official commuuiqu6 says:
"Permysl was bombarded with guns of up
to sixteen inch calibre. the enemy delivering
the principal attack against the north front

the Austrians almost completely demolished
before they surrendered the fortress. When
we repulsed these attacks the enemy sue
ceeded i'll taking several of our guns which
had bombarded his columns, the latter
were close to their muzzles, and our last
shell spent. According to supplementary
information we took two hundred more
prisoners and eight quick frers. There is
no change between Permysl and the great
marsh of the Dniester. Between Lysme-
nitza and Stry the enemy, who had concen-
trated there his heavy artillery aud rein
forcements, achieved some successes in the
course of the night by stubborn attacks
with large forces. The fighting was con-
tlnued on Tuesday morning.
The Austrians entered Przemysl on
Thursday morning, after hammering with
heavy guns for over twenty days. The Rus
SLAMS were in possession of it for seventy
days following their siege of two hundred

Primitive Fire-liqhts.

Many people believe that the orig.
inal method of finding fire was by the
simple friction of two pieces of wood.
The ''stick-and-groove" method, in
which blunt,pointed stick is run
along groove in a piece Of wood ly.
ing on the ground, is used by the Tahi-
tians, who by this means can produce
fire in few seconds. The aborigines
of Australia used a stick eight or nine
inches long which they revolved with
their hands on another fiat piece, US
ing as much pressure as possible.
Many improvements upon this simple
method are found, as that on the
principle of the carpenters brace used
by the Gauchos OF the South Ameri-
can pampas; the Eskimos' method Of
winding a cord round the drill, SO as
by pulling the two ends alternately
to make it revolve very rapidly; the
Sioux bow-drill, in which a bow with
a loose cord is substituted for SIM
pie cord; and the pump-drill, familiar
in English tool-shops, and used by the
IroQuois to generate fire.

Well might bluff, hearty, but in
tensely selfish Basil Drake speak in
diligently and patronizingly of his
cousin, Hugh Evans. Years before
Drake had been clerk of the senior
Evans. When the latter died he
turned the business over to Drake.
"All ask, BASIL" he said, lis that you
take care of my boy. Help him along
until he can take care of himself, and
If you feel like giving him start in
life, then, SO much the better"
Now, Drake had done fairly well for
this quasi ward, in his own estima-
ton. He had sent him to school and
provided for him, but he found Hugh
. good helper about the store and had
kept him ground down in a business
way. OF late Mrs. Drake had init.
mated that she wished Hugh would
find quarters elsewhere, not that she
disliked him, but the growing family
needed all the living room in the
house.
Hugh was a good man. When that
was said, it covered the case. He was
honest, industrious, sympathetic and
kindly to all humanity. The Drake
system had in a measure tended to
suppress ambition, but the mental and
spiritual aspirations of the man were
pure and strong. He was content to
remain in the humble situation fate
seemed to have awarded him. As for
the rest truthfulness and earnest sen
timents of humanity for all his fellow
creatures gave to Hugh that greatest
of all blessings, peaceful mind

A happy man was Clyde Brewster
