TRAGEDY OF A GLACIER.
How Ono of the Victims Came to Have
Two Funerals.

How Ono Of the Victims Came to Have
Two Funerals.
In the cemetery at Goschenen in Swift
zerland a strange burial took place at
the end Of the nineteenth century. The
coffin, a small one, decently and decor
Ously consigned to earth, contained
part of human leg, boot, some
shreds Of clothing and 1 franc, so
confines of Swiss money. The unusual
ceremony was the concluding chapter
Of a sad history that began on the
Rhone glacier eighteen years before.
In the summer of 1882 the burgomas-
ter Of Goschenen and two friends un-
dertool1 the ascent of the glacier. All
three lost their lives, and the bodies
were found week later frozen stiff.
That Of the burgomaster was stuck
fast in a creyasse, and in dragging it
forth the frozen right leg broke off
like a snapped icicle and fell into the
blue depths of the assure The poor
mutilated body was laid away in the
cemetery with every honor, for the
mayor had been greatly loved and re-
spected in his little. community.
The peasants say "Seven years the
glacier grows, seven years she melts,"
and in melting she honestly brings
to the mouth Of her river all that has
fallen down her icy blue throat-a be-
lief that, although partly fanciful, con-
tains much that is true. BY this
strange operation Of nature the leg of
the mayor of Goschenen came to light
after eighteen years. The boot was
still on the foot; some rags of clothing
chung to the leg;. even the trifing sum
of money in the unfortunate mans
trousers pocket was honestly returned
by the glacier. which keeps nothing not
it's own.
After eighteen years the leg was
buried beside it's master. The tragic
pathos of its recovery robbed the oc-
curance of all surdity.-Exchange

How to Converse With Authors.

How to Converse With Authors.
l have learned, says a writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, that in conversations
with authors there should be long
pauses. This is because every remark,
after being received by the ear, must
be submitted to a strict brain analysis
and then given a soul bath before it
is proper to venture reply. have
found, also, that in answering too
quickly I myself lose caste. 1 now
make it a point never to respond to a
question addressed to me by an author
until I have counted twenty. If the
author is very distinguished make it
fifty for good measure.

BOSTON AND ITS NAME.
The City Was Originally Called Tri-
mountain by the Pilgrims.


mountain by the Pilgrims.
Boston was not always Boston. The
present name Of the city is of English
origin, but it was originally called Tri-
mountain, compound Latin name.
meaning three mountains. The Pill
grims landed at Plymouth rock in
1920, and when it was determined to
found a town on the present site Of
Boston they christened it Trimountain,
in recognition Of three conspicuous
hills that marked the site.
OF course this awkward name could
not last long, and in September, 1880,
it was ordered that 'Trimountain shall
be called Boston, after the borough
Of that name in Lincolnshire, England
from which several of the prominent
settlers had come.
But we have not got to the root of
the matter yet, for the English Boston
was an abbrevlatiOn of BOtOlph'S
town, so called from the fact that st.
Botolph had founded monastery
there several hundred years before
the discovery of@ America. And so
it came about that legendary saint
Of the middle ages gave his name to
the future literary center Of New Eng
land.
The kinship Of the two Bostons has
been recognized on both sides, for in
1851 the mayor sent over copy Of
that city's seals, framed in oak from
St. Botolph's church, and they now
hang in the city hall at Boston. In
1855 a number of Americans, includ-
ing Charles Francis Adams and Ed
ward Everett, joined in rebuilding part
Of st. Botolph's church at Boston,
England, which had become dilapidat-
ed. The part Of the old church thus
rebuilt by Americans has a tower,
called Boston tower, which forms
landmark for forty miles around

Ranjab, the Hindu, was crossing the

She grew silent and preoccupied, a
slight frown marking her forehead as
she resumed her examination of the
room and its contents.
Great lanterns hung suspended be-
side the shrine, but were now un-
lighted. On the table at which Brood
protested to work stood huge lamp
with a lacelike screen Of gold. When
lighted a soft, mellow glow oozed
through the shade to create a circle of
golden brilliance over a radius that
extended but little beyond the edge
Of the table, yet reached to the benign
countenance Of Buddha close by.
Over all this fairylike splendor
reigned the serene, melting influence
Of the god to whom James Brood was
wont to confess himself! The spell
Of the golden image dominated every.
thing.
In the midst of the magnifcence
moved the two women, one absurdly
out of touch with her surroundings,
yet thing Of beauty; the other blend
Ing intimately with the warm tones
that enVeloped her. She was 1.-the,
sinuous with the grace of the most &C.
ductive Of dancers. Her dark eyes re-
lected the mysteries of the Orient;
her pale, smooth skin shone with the
clearness of alabaster; the crimson
in her lips was like the fresh stain
