—According to the Connecticut Experi-

An Experience on a Train Between
Motz and Paris.
“For scrupulous care and trouble
taken to return change I have never
heard of anything that equaled an ex-
perience of mine on the railroad be-
tween Metz and Paris,” said a national!
guardsman the other day. “I had becu
studying the battlefields about Metz,
and when I decided to get back to
Paris I converted most of the money |
had left into francs.
“It was a hot day in August, and the
second class compartments were so
crowded that 1 decided as we stopped
at a town near the French border to
change to a first class coach. There
was a supplement to pay, and the only
German money | had was in twenty
mark pieces. The official who made
the transfer did not have the proper
change, and while | was waiting for
him to come back with the 12 marks
and some pfennigs that belonged to me
the train moved off, and 1 gave wy
money up for gone.
“About 11 o'clock that night the
train stopped at a town about halfway
to Paris. There was only one other ve:
cupant of my compartment, a wan who
had got on at some station in France.
Soon after we stopped the door of the
compartment was opened and a mau
inquired which of us had given a twen-
ty mark piece to be changed at the
station in Germany. 1 replied that |

“Come with me, monsieur,’ he said
So 1 alighted and followed him into the
station office.
“There I found that my change had
been telegraphed on, and he had the
sum due me already counted out
There were a lot of receipts and things
to sign. and the train was beld up al-
most fifteen minutes on my account,
but 1 got my money and a lot of satis-
faction.” —New York Sun.
Hard to Kill.
The Hawaiian Islands have always
been famed for their freedom from
snakes. People and animals could
wander with impunity through val
leys and over hills and mountains. An
importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that might
have put an end to such delightful
serenity. This was the arrival of three
flimsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes, five of them rattlers.
Under a rule such animals arriving in
the territory of Hawail are ordered to
be immediately destroyed or deported.
“In the destryction of these snakes,”
says the narrator, “we had a surpris-
ing experience. 1 placed the boxes in
one of our fumigating chambers and
applied a charge of double density of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive at the end of fifteen
minutes, whereas if they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have succumbed in a less number of
seconds. They were again shut up,
and a quadruple charge of the same
deadly gas was administered. At the
end of one hour and a half the fumi.
gator was opened, and several of the
snakes still showed signs of life. We
then immersed them in 95 per cent al-
cohol. That soon put an end to their
venomous existence.” — Youth's Com-
panion.
Well Placed Generosity.
In 1835 Liszt went or a tour in the
French provinces. He arrived at the
little town of L. to give a concert, as
D8 | yunounced. But the inhabitants ap-
peared to take but little interest in
musical matters, for when the musi-
clan appeared on the platform he
found himself face to face with an au-
dience numbering exactly seven per-
sous. Liszt stepped very calmly to the
front, and, bowing respectfully to the
array of empty benches, he delivered
himself as follows:
“Ladies and gentlemen, | feel ex-
tremely flattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room is pot
at all suitable; the air is literaily sti
fling. Will you be good enough to ac-
company me to my hotel, where 1 will
have the piano conveyed? We shall be
quite comfortable there, and 1 will go
through the whole of my program.”
The offer was unanimously accepted,
and Liszt treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day
when the illustrious virtuoso appeared
to give his second concert the hali was
not large enough to contain the crowd
which claimed admittance.

LOVE'S REVOLUTION.
They lived beside 2 river. Theirs
had been a love mateh, and love ! him. But
possessed
matches are not often made on any
other principles than love. They bad
been brought up in affluence and kept
house on little or nothing, illustrating
the saying, “When poverty comes in
at the door, love flies out through the
window.”
No; this is not true. They loved
each other deeply—more deeply than
when they were married. But they
were overstrained. Moreover, they
fell into the habit of giving vent
to their feelings, and the more they |
gave way in this respect the more they |
were egged on by tired nerves to do
80. Their quarrels grew more fre- |
quent and more violent. He would |
growl at the table that there was |
nothing on it fit to eat, and she would
tell him that he was responsible for |
the quality of the food or the lack of |
it. From that it would be crimination
and recrimination till they would both
be trembling with anger.
One night they quarreled till he felt
that if he did not go away from her
he should do or say that which would |
be irreparable. He opened the door |
and went out into the front yard. The
air was balmy, and the full moon
shone down from a clear sky. He
went out to the gate, through it, and
as it swung back the latch caught |
with a click.
She heard it and said to herself:
“He is gone. I shall never see him
again. My dream has vanished. I do
not care to survive it.”
He went across the road and looked |
down at the river. At first he did not
see it. His brain was whirling and
could take nothing in through his

It was the nonresist-
ance of that pale face that changed
one overwhelming impulse
him. He must save her. If
i he failed the world would indeed b
| the horror he had a few moments be-
| fore conceived it to be. Life might
still throb faintly within her, and if he
i could get her ashore before it ceased
he might atone for all he now con-
ceived himself to be responsible.
Like lightning, power ran down
through his nerves to his muscles and
made them iron. With one arm about
her, bolding her chin above the sur-
face, he struck out with the other.
a few strokes brought him and
to the shore. Once there he took
up in both arms, climbed the bank
and ran with ber to his house.
On bringing her back to life depend-
ed whether that house should be hom»
or whether ae should be an outcast
and a wreck.
He was successful. When she opened
her eyes and saw him and where she
was a look of infinite pain passed
across her face.
“Live, dear heart,” he moaned; “live
that 1 may atone for the wrong I have
and
her
her
done you."
“You. It was I. I should have suf-
fered in silence.”
“No matter. 1 know a way to pre-
vent trouble between us in future.
Some wise person has said, ‘For the
causes of disagreement look first with
in yourself. Hereafter 1 shall blame
myself and not you. And. blaming my-
self, you will not move me to anger.”
“I never biamed myself till you left
me tonight.”
A year from that time a baby came,
and there was another revolution in

eyes. But presently he saw the wa-
ter peacefully flowing, reflecting the
silent heavens from its bosom. An ir-
repressible desire overcame him to |
put an oblivion to his troubles by |
sinking himself and them in this place |
of rest. He turned and walked a
short distance down the stream to
where there was a bridge. Going on |
to the bridge, he stood, looking over
the rail. The bark of a dog came
faintly from a distance. i
There was a sound above as though |
some one had thrown something into |
the river. He listened. but heard noth. |
ing more. Then, mounting the rail, he
let himself down on the projecting
planks beyond and stood there, listen-
ing to two voices. The one said: “Go
back to her. Soothe her. Say to her,
‘Let the past be passed; we will begin
anew: we will bring back the love we
felt before we were married.’” The
other voice said: “She will not listen,
or if she does the reconciliation will
not last. At the first annoyance she will
lose her self control. I will lose mine,

A Sensational Prophet.
One of the most sensational of
prophets wus u Kosa negro bamed
Umhlakasa, who did his prophesying
in British Kaffraria, Africa, in 1856-7,
His niece nad met some mysterious
strangers uear a stream, and Umhia-
kasa, naving gone to see them, report-
ed that they were the spirits of his
dead brother and others. They com-
municated a prophecy which rapidly
grew. On an appointed day in 1857
two blood red suns were to rise, the
sky would fall and crush the Kingos
and the whites, herds of splendid cat-
tle would issae from the ground, great
fields of ripe millet would spring up.
the Kosa dead would rise and live
with their descendants, and trouble
and sickness should be no more. Un-
happily there was a condition—the
Kosas must slaughter all their existing
cattle And so 200000 cattle, the
wealth and sustenance ot the people,
were killed, and probably 50.000 cred-
ulous natives starved themselves to
death.
