Doctored to Death.
John Boris sighed. No need had one
to ask why. A glance at the untidy room
revealed the cause. He looked like a
man of pluck, John did, and he was.
His shop had grown into goodly dimen-
sions, for he did most of the plumbing
for a large and rapidly growing village,
so that he had taken the whole of the
little house in which be commenced life
as a married man, for his business, and
moved his family into a little cottage. not
quite a mile away. The people of Luke
town talked of John as a rising man, but
they shook their heads at sight or men.
tion of Alice Borie, his wife. Alice had
been a little beauty at eighteen, and that
was ten years ago. Now, she was only
twenty-eight, but looking more than ten
yours older.
" How do you feel this morning, dear?"
he asked, as the door opened from an ad-
joing room, and Alice come in, her hair
uncombed, her soiled morning dress
dragging behind her, her cheeks white
and flabby, her eyes glittering unwhole-
comely.
"I don't- know. I wish I did,” druwled
Alice, in the plaintive voice of one ill
used by circumstances.

"Why, no, I haven't pain. I almost
wish I had. . There's such a dreadful
sinking; Aunt Milly used to have such
films ; a sort of gonencss and faintness.
You know she died of heart-discuss.
"At the ago of seventy. Yes, I re-
member," replied John. as he shook up
the pillow in a large rocking-chair, and
drew a carpet-cricket under her feet.
“Shall fiend Jenny in with some break-
fast now ?"
Alice nodded her head.
" No, I’ll take the wine-hitters, if
you'll pour them out ; and please get. the
iron stnfl‘ that Dr. Ford left yesterday,
and a spoon. and draw the little table up.
01‘. such a languid feeling !”
John did as 'he was desired.
“Therel now you are comfortable,”
he said. “I’ll tell Jenny to look in.
You may need a cup of ten, and you had
better out something to keep up your
strength. I dressed Benny and Minny
the best I could, and they took breakfast
with me ; after which I sent them off to
school. I tried to tidy the room against

will do that, though she is washing, and
very cross. Now for business. I’ll come
home to dinner as soon as I can. DO try
to get a. little color, dear. I can’t bear to
see you so sick," he added, as he stooped
down and kissed her.
‘ “Color? She 2" snifi'ed Jenny, who
was a very distant cousin, and availed
herself of the privileges of relationship,
though she was "the girl. " She had
opened the door as John spoke, and now
retreated with an angry red in her face.
“ I wish he could see her cat sometimes.
If 'twasn't'for him, poor soul, I wouldn't
stay and do the work I do for the wages,
not I." Then, as she heard the door
shut, she rctroced her steps, and entered
the living-room.
"I wish you could clear up a little,"
said Alice, fretfully. “It makes my head
ache to see so much dirt."
"Then I’m afraid it’ll have to ache till
the washing is done, Miss Borie, retorted
Jennie, her manner entirely wanting in
respect. “ I come in to see if you’re go-
ing to take any breakfast. There’s some
slapjacks, and a. cold sausage ; and if you
must have it. I spam I could toast you
some bread.”
"Don’t! Don't I" ejaculated Alice,
faintly. “ I don’t feel as if I could touch
a thing, unless it was some gruel with
raisins in it. Dr. Ford said raisins
would agree with me.”
“As for gruel—in this hurry—there's
no menti' ning it. The fire's all took up,
but. I’ll fix you a bit of toast and a cup of
cofi'co. I guess that won't hurt you ;"
and v ithout pausing to hear you or nay,
she fiounced out of the room.
“Oh. that miserable girl! And my
nerves in such a state !" moaned 'Alico,
leaning back upon her pillow, and closing
her eyes. " ]f I only could get well, and
see to things i" 4
Nevertheless, she made a comfortable
breakfast on toast and, coffee, a dozen
little cakes that John had brought home
the night before, and a bunch of delicious
white grapes Then she solaced herself
with some nerve-hitters, two pills. and a
novel. which bore on its flashy back and
sides the marks of many thumbs.

the house. What was it 7
Jenny came in, bare arms uplifted, and
apron white withnuds.
“The land protect us, Miss Boris!
Company’s come !” she said, ng’iittflt.
"There isn't a mite of cake in the house,
nor bread, author. No, 1101' so much as
a taste of yeast, and the butter’s all out.
The children drunk the last speck of
milk, and I scraped the flour-bag yester-
day."
Ring went the bell, sounding through
every corner of the house.
“ That's a. yank l” exclaimed Jenny,
trying to tuck up her whisp of black
hair. “Well, come she must, bad as it
looks. So here goes!" and she plunged
into the entry, and made for the door.
As for Alice, the excitement, and the
shame, and the wonder, all together, had
brought snfiicient color to her face to
give the lie to all her pretension. Hair,
dress, surroundings, were all snatched
at, and that was all. Nothing could be
battered—dirt, untidinoss, sickness. 9-11

fell upon her.

'rmc omen: 0F Tm: 'Mosqur'rons,
The Indians have a very satisfactory
account of the origin of the Montezuma
mosquitoes. The legend runs thus:
There were in times of old, many moons_
ago, two huge feathered monsters per-
mitted by Manitou to descend from the
sky and alight on the banks of the Seno-
cnRiver. Their form was exactly that
of a mosquito. They were so large that
they darkened the sun like a cloud as
they flew» toward the earth. Standing
. one on either bank they guarded the
I river, and stretching their long necks
everything she touched; then, placing a :
pair of spectacles over her prim little
ncsc, proceeded to work at a. stocking
\vhich she had picked from some corner
of her dress. “Rheumatics is dreadful
prevalent- in the parts I come from.
Mebby you've had a fever, though. N o
matter what it is, I'll nuss you till you're
well agin. Now, you jest sit comforlnble,
and let me talk to you. John’s well, 1
hope. That boy never had a sick day in
his life. I alwus told him he'd get u
sickly wife. Got two children, haven’t
you? Both to school, ch? Oh, you're
takin' your medicine! What is it 1' Wine-
bittcrs? Don't believe it comes up to
my summer-cordial. Why, I could make
a fortune out of it of I was so minded.
John's father was a doctor, you know;
one of the good, old-fashioned sort. I've
got all his books, and all his receipts.
They call me the doctor, down to home,
and I do lots 0' cures, I can tell you."
Alice longed to scream—40 fly—to do
all sorts of impossible things, to get out
of the way of this overflowing bubble,
but there was nothing to do but to bear
it. Her nerves were on edge; and when
John came home, astonished beyond
mcasurc at this raid on his household,
she came near going into liysterics.
Aunt Emory J une's visit-was beneficial
in one way. Alice could enjoy the lux-
ury of solitude in her own room, and
stolen bits of her borrowed novels, sure
that all the household Would go right.
Emery Jane was a prodigious worker.
John had never known what real comfort
was, since he left. his prim New England
home, to make his fortune in the West.
The little ones were kept rosy and chin-
ing. for Emery Jana adored children,
I and had the secret of attraction for them,
so that. they no longer want about in
sailed pinafores;but the neighbors as.-
cribed it all to the odd, quaint little Miss
Emery Jane.
Emery was keen in her way. She soon
fathomed the trouble in her brother’s
household. Saying little to his wife for
the time, never making light of her ail-
ments, she watched her chances, and de-
termined to give the self-styled invalid
the benefit of her wisdom.
“Doctors will be the death of you,"
Miss Boris,” she said one day. “That’s
the seventh time you’ve taken medicine
this mornin'. How long hev you been
living on medicine as a straight along
dieti"
“I'm sure, Miss Emery, I’d do without
it if I could. But if you knew what awful
feelings I have! Sometimes I think, I
am going to die."
“Yes. I've got a neighbor tohome,
whose bin at the pint of death twenty-
five times in ten years," said Miss Em-
ery. solemnly. “ It's nothing but nerves.
I, took her in hand, and I cured her. I've
got an elixir my poor father left. Costs
aproper sight 0' money to put up an
ounce. but it never fails."
"Oh ! Emory, what is it?

” Well, I'd cure you for uuthin'. It's
wonderful stuff. Why, people have been

given over."
“I must have it," said Alice.
fake it, and be glad to."
“ I've got some with me."
“Oh, let me see it," said Alice.
Emery went up to her room and soon
returned, holding a two~inch long bottle,
half full of a pure amber-colored liquid.
that looked like a flame.
"How much must I take i". queried
Alice.
“ Three drops is a dose. It's precious,"
was Emery Jane’s reply.
The medicine was measured out, and
very eagerly taken.
“There, now, you must lay down, and
keepasstillas possible for ten hours;
and if by that time a sweat breaks out,
you’re all right. If it don't-—"
She shook her head.
“And what if it don’t?" questioned
Alice. .. - -
“Well," said Emery June, with a soi-
omn countenance, “that medicine is
either kill or cure. There's no hmnbug
about that." , '
"What!" screamed Alice, in sudden
terror. "You said it would cure me."
“And lo it will—if it- dou't do the other
thing."
“Oh, you've poisioned me!" moaned
Alice. ” I’m sure I shall die. 011! John,
John l Run for John 1 I feel as if [were
dying already. ”
“Well, my dear, then you'll be nicely
out of your trouble." said Emery Jane,
soothingly; “winch I'm sure life must
beaburden to you, and to John. too,
poor soul. Then he’ll marry some strong,
healthy girl, who knows enough to keep
out of the doctor's hands, and have some
comfort of his life. I've often thought
how he might enjoy his home, if he had
such a woman as that pretty, happy crea-
ture who called to see you yesterday.
Such rosy checks and bright eyes! I
- noticed how John looked at her, and I
don’t wonder." '
“Miss Emery, you’re a wicked woman!”
cried Alice, with new energy.
"Well, my dear, I ain’t a. sick one,
thank goodness." said her sister-iu-law,
with imperturable good nature.
"And you're in league with John to
do away with me," ‘sobbed the angry
wife. .
“I'd do away with myself, if I hadn't
any more life than you. And you ought
to be thankful that somebody has took
you in hand," responded the little old
maid.
“I'll not die! You shan't kill me!"
And Alice flounccd out of the bed like a
mad creature. " I never felt stronger
in my life, and I’m going to dress me,
I’d give a
" I'll
tell him how you’ve talked to me. He
marry that turnip-faced Merrill girl!
She lord it over my children—wt any-
body olael We’ll see!" And she actually
did get on her hat and shawl, and go out
of the house, with hurried step and
heightened color.
“I thought it would cure her," said
Miss Emery, with an odd little laugh.
We pass over the immediate cousc-
quencos, which were partly ludicrous;
for John and Miss Emery had been in
league together some time. and hasten to
any that never was cure more complete.

tempted to paddle along the stream,

the fable gobbled up the frogs. The dc-
struction of life was so gre-It that not an
I ndiim could pass without being devoured
in the attempt. It was long before the
monsters could be exterminated, and
than only by the combined efforts of all
the warriors of the Cayuga and Ononda-
ga nations. The battle was terrible, but
the warriors finally triumphed, and the
mammoth mosquitoes were slain and loft
unburied. For this neglect the Indians
had to pay dearly. The carcasses decom-
posed, and the particles, vivified by the
sun, flew ofi‘ in clouds of mosquitoes,
which have filled the country ever since.

A PBEACBER’S GOOD FORTUNE.
_..._—
Says the Boston Herald.- For thirty-
one years Rev. David Walk, pastor of the
Cent-ml Christian Church, Indianapolis,
Ind., plodded along. confining his ener-
gies to preaching the Gospel, and. pay-
ing no attention to the accumulation of
worldly goOds. Many years ago, thou
a pastor at Memphis, he made a trip to
Kansas City. While there he observed a
beautiful five-acre tract of ground
which was so attractivc 115 II. resi—
dence site that he purchased it for
$1,500. He has held it ever since,
though it; has been unproductive and
calling for heavier taxes year by year.
Much to his astonishment, a few days
ago he received 11 letter offering $11,000
for the property. This was a nice little
sum for pin money, but with an eye to
business he declined the proposition,
stating that he hoped to make a country
residence of the place some time. The
would-be purchaser wrote back and
doubled his first offer. The next day Mr.
Walk received 9. telegram Offering $30,-
000 for the property. Finally, on in-
quiry, he learned that his five acres
were in the heart Of Kansas City, and
would sell for almost any price he would
ask, and that, without knowing it, he
had gradually becamea rich man. He
will probably retire from the ministry at
the close of his year, in April, and after
spending a year in looking after his busi~
ness matters, will go to Palestine to
spend a year or more.

LOCOBSO'A‘AVE BELLS.
The “Railway World" says that a num.
ber of locomotive bells of various shapes
and composition have recently been cast at
the Altoonu, 1’s. shops from which a selection
will soon be made for the purpose of finally
establishing a. marked distinction between
the sounds produced, respectively, by the
bolls of freight and passenger engines. A
corresponding distinction will probably be
made in the sounds produced by locomotive
whistles. The success of this undertaking
will manifestly render good service by en.
abling railway employees and the general
public to distinguish the character of an
approahing train while it is still a great
distance otf, and valuable inferences may
often be drawn from this information.
The period is probably near at hand when
a bell of long, clear and pleasing reverbera-
tion, or other marked characteristics, will
apprise all whom it. may concern that a
passenger train is approaching or passing,
while a heavier, duller and more business-
like sound will givc notice of the movement
of a freight train. In the bells already
cast, marked variations in the. sound have
been produced by slight changes in the
composition, shape or distribution of metal.
Onc bell, containing five parts of copper to
one of tin, is in the key of A, and another
bell of the same composition, but with
slight_ variations in the shape or distribu-
tion of the metal, is in the key of B flat.
Various other modifications and composi-
tions have been tried which have produccd
such good results that. between the sound
of several of the classes there is a contrast
that any car of average power could readily
distinguish.

DBIJNKARDS.
In a monograph in the “Quarterly J our.
nal of Inebriety,” Dr. George M. Beard
asks: “Are drunkards automatons ?" Dr.
Beard is clearly of the opinion that they
are. Some men, he says, habitually drunk
while on or near the sen, are habitually so.
her while living inland. We know of simi-
lar instances, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut, of automatic inebriety. Smith is
always drunk when he has the money, so-
ber when he has not. Jones drinks like a
fish when he is out of jail, but when he is'
in, why, bless him, he would delight the
soul of a temperance crusader, but doesn't
delight his own, for Jones prefers himself
as drunk as he can get. Then there is
Robinson, who, when he is full of icewvoter
is as steady as a headstone, but fill him up
with whiskey and he is just beastly. Yes,
it is clear that drunkards are automatic;
their condition is determined not altogeth-
er by their surroundings, but by those and
the thing which they surround.

nofinnmor AND ms VIOLIN.
The eloquent French preacher Bour-
delot was a performer on the violin, and
ustory is told that he was once appointed
to preach on, Good Friday, and the
proper oficer to attend him, having or-
rived at his home, was directed to his
study. As he approached he heard the
sound of a violin, and, the door being a.
little open, he saw Bourdelot, stripped to
his cassock, playing a brisk tune upon
the instrument and dancing about the
room. He was much surprised. and
knocked at the door, when the dis-
tinguished divine laid down his instru-
ment, and, putting on his gown, told the
officer, with his usual composed look,
that he was ready to attend him. On
their way, his companion expressed to
Bourdelot his surprise at what he had
seen, who replied that he might be, un-
less acquainted with his practice on
these occasions. 0n thinking over the.
intended subject of his discourse, he .
found he was too depressed to treat it as
he ought, and so had recourse to h s
= usual method, some music, withnlittlo
bodily exercise, and time put himself
into a proper frame of mind to do with
pleasure what would otherwise have been
a work of pain and labor. "

TIT".
A CASE OF
Studebaker shops, has been a resident of
this place for two years. A few months
before coming here he was the victim of
one of the most wonderful cases of mista-
ken identity on record. Mr. Hill and his
family lived at No. 21 Graanlace, Chica-
go, and he followed his trade of gardening
in Evanston and adjoining villages. He
had formerly resided in Evonston, and was
known by nearly every person in the vil-
lage. On Sunday morning, June 11, 1876,
a man was run over and killed at Evansion
by an incoming railroad train. The corpse
was as at once identified as that of Mr. Jo-
siah Hill, the gardener. Word was sent to
his family, consisting of a wife and daugh-
ter, aged 16, and they went to Evanston to
cure for the body of the unfortunate hus-
band and father. The wife wept, and in
her almost inconsolable grief frantically
caressed the dead one. The inquest, was
held, and there was no lack of evidence
concerning the dead man’s identity. In
- fact there was so much unimpeachsblc ovi-
dence establishing the identity that it was
never once questioned. When the inquest
was over the wife took charge of the re-
mains, and on Tuesday, the day appointed
for the funeral, the body was homo to the
grave, amid the lainentations of a large
circle of friends and acquaintances. That,
apparently was the end of Mr. Josiah Hill
on this earth. On the jury kit the inquest
was Mr. Kearney, Deputy Sheriff. of Cook
County, who, among others present at the
time, know Mr. Hill very well, and swore
to the identity. On Tuesday, the day of
the funeral, he made an official trip to
Winnetka, a place about five miles distant
from Evanston, and was frightened out of
his senses at seeing what he first took to
be Mr. Hill’s ghost at work in a. garden,
setting out celery plants. He finally hailed
the object, and was somewhat reassured
when he heard Mr. Hill's voice return his
salutation. Still, he could not disubusc his
mind of the idea that it was Hill‘s ghost.
Mr. Hill thought the man was crazy at first
and uponlisteniug to a subsequent explana-
tion concluded that his surmiscs was cor-
I‘Gi't, and all the way back to Chicago, to
which city he returned with Sherifi Kear-
ney, he regretted the untimely fate of his
friend’s brain. But judge to his surprise
and astonishment upon entering his own
home to see his wife scream out and faint
before what she took to be an apparition.
Stu-riff Kearney assured her that it was her
husband, and that he found him working
in a garden at Winnetko, and that the party
she had just buried, and whose identity
they had all sworn to, must be somebody
else. Mrs Hill never doubted the identity
of the dead man for an instant. Her hus-
band had left her only a few days before
to do some work at Evanston and Winnet-
ks. Indeed, it was some time before eith-
er she or her disccnsolate daughter could
be convinced that their husband and father
was still alive. To this day it is a. mystery
who the man was that was killed—South
Bend (1nd.) Tribune.
SINGULAR WILLS.
A Frenchman, dying after a life of
bucbelorhood, left a. handsome legacy to
a lady who had, twenty years before,
refused to marry him, in order to ex-
press his gratitude to her for her for-
bearance, and his admiration for her
sagacity in leaving him to ahappy bache-
lor life of independence and freedom.
A punster of the seventeenth century,
who seems to have carried his sense of
the ridiculous to the confines of this
world, bequeathed to his valet a worn-
out portmanteuu, not so much for its
own value as for that he would attach to
its contents, there being within it some-
thing which would enable him to drink.
The man, who it appears was somewhat
given to the bottle. lost no time on his
return from his master's burial in ex-
amining the mysterious legacy. On
turning the key, however, his disgust
may be imagined at finding nothing in
the box but a red herring l A man who
had long- maintained the appearance of
great poverty, died in Berlin, leaving be-
hind him 9. fortune of 0110 hundred and
thirty-five thousand marks. He also left
a. will, in which he directed that, with
the exception of three thousand marks,
the whole of his property should be
given to the nuthbritios of his native
place in Bavaria. It. was further directed
that the three thousand marks should be
divided in equal sums among nine of his
relations and one friend, with whom, as
he said in his will, he had formerly had a
difference. It was stipulated that none
of those legatecs was to follow his coffin;
and the relatives strictly observed this
stipulation. But the friend, mindful of

in three handfuls of dust. This friendly
act has met with substantial reward, for,
on further search, 11 codicil was found,
directing that, in the event of one of the
ten legutees disregarding the injunction
not to follow the coffin, the contuma-
clous one should receive the bulk of the

OUT OF SIGHT AND MIND.
When disposed to grumble over things
that cannpt be helped, Iam reminded of
a neighbor of mine who once surprised me
by throwing away an old, rusty knife. It
was one of a set of silver-plated knivesI
and been spoiled by carelessness. I asked
her why she threw it away. “It is not
worth while to be uncOmfortablc,” she said.
“Life is short, and I believe in being as
happy. as I can, and I will be happy so far
as I can control circumstances. What is the
use of keeping a rusty, spoiled knife on
the shelf,. where it would cut me every
time I looked at it by its unpleasant refer-
ence to my carelessness? You see, acting
on this theory, I have thrown it away.
intend to pursue the same course in every-
thing that puzzles me. What I don't like I
shall put away if I can; I will not out un-
palatable food, nor associate with disagree.
able people, and when I feel discouraged
or blue I put on my things and take a
pleasant walk or call on some cheerful
neighbor and come home cheery myself,
with a good appetite for tea. People who
are unhappy, discontented and who just
enjoy life, don't know how much they miss
for want of a little efiort on their part to
make themselves happy.” Is not the loa-
son which thesc words embody worth
learning?
THE SUEZ CANAL AS AN INVEST-
MINT.
The Suez canal cost 47 21,799 francs.
The stock of the company comprises 400,-
000 shares at 500 francs each. These shares
have sold as low as 100 francs each. At
to only 800 francs. They are now quoted
at 717 francs and are probably worth more.
The British government paid about 568
francs. The number of shares bought in
1875 by Lord Beaconsiieid at this price was
: 176,602. The balance of the stock is held
I by a large number of persons mostly
Frenchmen. The revenues have risen to
over 30,000,000 francs, while the expenses
and while the income is steadily increasing
the expenses are either decreasing a star

Two DETEU'uvn atoning,
The English detective is the exact
contrary of his French confrcra, He
does not wear uniform, but he might as
well do so, for his appearance and dress
proclaim him to be what he is as plainly
as if 110 was clad like X 142 of his force.
He is a well meaning, intelligent fellow,
but both his want of training and the
system under which he has to work
quite unfit him for the detection of any
crime which is hidden in mystery. I re-
member, somc years ago, being’ on a
visit to a country house where the jewel
case of a lady visitor was stolen. It was
quite safe when the owner had finished
dressing for dinner, but a. couple of
hours later her maid missed it and gave
the alarm. Search was made—it is need-
less to say in vain. The house was full
of guests, many of whom had brought
with them their own maids and valets,
besides which there was a large staff of
servants belonging to the house itself.
A telegram was dispatched to Scotland
Yard the next morning, and in due time
two detective officers arrived from Lons
don. They examined the room from
which the jewel box .had been taken;
quesdoned, and as a natural consequence,
set by the cars, all the servants in the
house as these of the dififcrent visitors;
made inquiries at the neighboring rail-
way station about the travellers who had
left the place during the last few days ;
and finally took their departure, leaving
matters exactly where they were—where,
they have remained to the present day,
and where they are likely to remain for
all time.
As a comparison with the foraging. I
may mention a case of u very similar
kind which I once witnessed in Paris.
A friend of mine, living with his wife,
daughter, and a male and 11 female scr-
vant, in a large old-fashioned house,
found one morning that all his plate had
been stolen. It was safe when the
family went to bed the previous night;
but in the morning it had vanished
He communicated with the police, and
an elderly gentleman who looked like
the manager or one of the head clerks of
a band was sent to the house. Neither
the concierge nor any one else had the
slightest idea who thciudividuul was;
he come ostensibly to see a friend on
business, and only told him what his
business really was. He came again the
next day, and the following four or five
days, making his visit purposely when
my friend and his family were out, so as
to have an excuse, while awaiting their
return, of talking to the servants or of
wasting a quarter of an hour in the con
cicrgo's den. He managed to ingratiato
himself with this latter individual, and
in the next few weeks, during which
time he still puidocccsional visits, osten-
sibly to my'friend, because quite in-
timate with the servant. It ended in
the concierge being arrested one fine
day on 11' charge of having stolen the
plate. This was brought about partly
by something the detective had seen in
the concierge’s room, but chiefly on ac-
count of what he had heard at a place
where a number of the agents or
brokers for stolen. goods used to con-
gregate for business, and to which the
detective went in the charactcr of a.
thief. The crime was thus discovered
and the thief was duly punished.
W
unsculprlon or A VILLAGE an
inn MOUNTAINS on ronann.
It reminded us of the lower parts of tho
Yorkshire fella,.or the outskirts of the
Scottish highlands, with grass just as green,
and a profusion, even in August, of ferns
and wild flowers. The roads wero almost
covered with gully-dressed peasants wand.
ing their way to church or market; some in
wagons like our own, but the greater num-
ber in long processions, thirty or forty
strong, which moved slowly along in loose
array, generally preceded by a priest or
two with attendants carrying banners.
Many of them were singing, and the sound
of tho hymns rising through the still air,
and often heard before the companies came
in sight, lent an additional charm to the
scene. Toward noon we rattled into the
marketplace of the town, where our drivar
meant to take his midday half. It is
called Myslenica—a straggling place of per-
haps 2,000 souls, built, like all Polish vii.
loses, roimd a. big, irregular, open space,
which seems the larger because the houses
are so low. The whole population of the
district seemed to have poured in. The
large church was crowded to suffocation;
and in the walled inclosurc which sur-
rounded it hundreds were sitting on the
grass, the men on one side, the women and
children on another, waiting fill their turn
should come to enter, some praying, or
reading their books of devotion, and all
perfectly still and silent. Such a picture
of devotion we had never seen; and I doubt
if even Ireland is so profoundly and earn-
estly Catholic as Galicia. The shrines and
crosses along the roads are more numerous
than anywhere else in Europa-certainly
more so than in Spain. France, or even
Tyrol; and nobody passes the smallest of
them without taking off his but. It was
pleasant to notice how well-these simple
peasants were dressed, how happy and
cheerful they looked, Though their houses
are rough enough, they are not squalid;
there is a general air of primitive comfort.
The impression of melancholy one géts in
Crakow is not felt in the country parts of
Galicia, where the peasantry are as well ofi
as they have ever been, and far better than
in the not vcky distant days of serfdom.
Now they have fixity of tenure and im-
munity from forced labor. Politics they
never knew or cared about, for all the
and the townsfolk. Even in Russian Po.
land the peasants took but little part in the
last. two struggles; and, aseverybody knows
they were sometimes actually hostile to the
insurgents. They are goodJookiug people,
these Galicinns; the men tall and well
made; the women with plenty of color and
fine eyes, though the hard toll of the field
sccn tells upon them, and their looks are i
set off by a picturesque costume, gayly
striped petticoats and bright red or blue
haudkerohiefs tied over the head. We
wondered to see no Jewish faces and fan-
cied there might be none; but stumbling
upon a. school full of Jewish boys, per-
ceived that here, too, the Jewish element
was present, though of course it did not
figure in the crowd of churcli-goers.-Tlu

Mr. Mackey writes to the Pall Mall 0o;
salts on the meaning and origin of the word
”caucus.” He says: “In default of any
other suggestion, the derivation of the
word from the ship-calkers has been unwili.
ingly accepted. I venture to assert that
the true root of the word is to be found in
the language of the early Irish'and Scotch
immigrants into the United States, and that.
‘ it is no other than the Celtic ‘comin' (pro-
nounced ‘co'), a. prefix implying concord
l and agreement with, and ‘cuis,' signifying
l cause, afiair, concern, business, procedure,
' etc. From this comes ‘co-ouis,‘ or caucus,
l a meeting of those who agree with the
3 business in hand, whatever it may be, a
T packed meeting in fact. Very many words
that are clearly traceable to the same Gaelic
source exist in the American vernacular."
Actions, looks, words, stops, form the
steps by which we spell characters.—

SHINING LIGHTS.
’l‘hc genial manager, John Stetson, once
went behind the scenes in his New York
theatre, and [mind iauit mm a match
piece of scenery then in use.
““ hat is the blamed thing, anyway ?"
he asked.
The stage manager informed him it was
a scene after Michael Angelo, whereupon
Stetson promptly exclaimed :—
“Wcll, its no good—pay Mike his salary
and let him go !"
A day or two afterwards Dixey was
reciting the incident to Jack Haverly, but
Havcrly didn’t seem to understand the
joke. So Dixey repeated the yarn, and
Ham-lg, forcing a property smile, ex.
claimc :—
“Oh, yes, I see—-thcre ain't no such per-
son as Angelo."
This amused Dixcy more than the orig.
inal story, and he, hurried offto tell Stet—
son about it. But Stetson was quite as
thick-wilted as Haverly had been in do-
tecting the humor of the thing.
“Why, don’t you see," exclaimed Dixcy,
with rent earnestness. “I told th.s yarn
to overly, and he replied :,——-‘There
ain't no such person as MiclInt-l Angclol' "
“Ah, yes,” cried Stetson, wilh a sudden
beam of intelligence, “he ought to have
Michael AIIgclo'—ycs, yes—u good one on
