THE BIJOHHIST HADES. Eight Easy Stages of tho Most Awful Kinds of Torture. The places of torment to which all wicked Buddhists are to lie assigned on the clay of final reckoning is a ter rible place of punishment. This Bud dhistic hell is divided into eight "easy stages." In the first the poor victim is com pelled to walk for untold ages in his bare feet over hills thickly set with redhot needles, points upward. In the second stage the skin is all carefully filed or rasped from the body and ir ritating mixtures applied. In the third stage the nails, hair and eyes are plucked out and the denuded body sawed and planed into all sorts of fantastic shapes. The fourth stage is that of "sorrowful lamentations." In tho fifth the left side of the body and the denuded head are carefully roast ed, Yema, the Buddhistic Satan, su perintending the work. In the sixth stage the arms are torn from the body and thrown into an immense vat among the eyes, nails and hair pre. viously removed. Then in plain hear ing of the sore footed, blind, maimed, roasted and bleeding victim the whole horrid mass is pounded into a jelly. In the seventh stage the other side of the victim and his feet are roasted brown, and then comes the eighth and last stage, in which the candidate is thrown into the bottomless pit of perdition. DEADLY MINE GASES. White Damp, Firedamp, Black Damp and the Fearful After Damp. "White d.-iiiyi is the gas most feared by the miners, for its properties ren der it difficult to detect, inasmuch as it is tasteless, odorless and colorless and when mixed in the proportion of about one part gas to nine parts air is called "firedamp" and becomes explo sive to a degree hard to realize unless one has seen its effects. Black damp, unlike white damp. Is heavier than air, a nonexplosive gas which may be detected by its peculiar odor. Again, unlike the other, its ef fect is to suffocate and extinguish lire. This gas is so heavy and moves with such a sluggish flow that occasional ly, when miners have been trapped in a mine following an explosion and have detected the black damp creep ing in upon them by its smell, they have been able to stop its advance by erecting dams or barricades along tho floor, building them higher as the vol ume of gas Inereast il and keeping the air within their liltle inclosure com paratively clean by rude improvised fans. Following an explosion, ihese two gases become mingled and form a mix ed gas, possessing all the dreaded qualities of each, which N known as "afli ." damp." and it is the mixture of g.-iscs which 0< :fro t vs nay life that, may remain foil i-ving a mine disaster —Atlantic Monthly. Late Riswg Birds. A pair of singing birds had been ad- I vertised for sale. "The property of a late rising fami ly," the dealer stated. "I wound up with that clause," he said, "so possible purchasers would j not be scared off" by the prospect of an unearthly chattering at 5 o'clock in the morning. Birds can be trained to keep any kind of hours. If they are brought up by a family of nighthawlcs they learn togo to bed at midnight and get up at 0 a. in., along with the rest of the folks, but if they are tuck ed In right away after supper they wake up the neighborhood at a cor respondingly early hour the next morn ing. It is advisable for any person who is likely to lie abed until noon to inquire into the early training of a bird before buying."—New York Sun. American Golf. Certainly you are in good luck as a golfer if you goto America at all, for they are gloriously hospitable in that land, and. so far as I could see, the idea that some have here—that the American's notion of tho object of playing a game is purely to win It, not to enjoy the playing—is perfectly mi i!;cn.

While a student at West Point U. S. Grant excelled In mathematics and horsemanship. He jumped his horse over a bar five feet six inche3 high, which made a record for the academy and a close second to the highest jump ever recorded in America. He receiv ed little houor for some of his efforts, however, notably In the case recalled by Nicholas Smith In "Grant, the Man of Mystery." But perhaps the humor of It reconciled hi in. The riding master was one Ilersh berger, "an amusing sort of tyrant," | and on one occasion, whether seriously 112 or as a joke, he determined to "take down" the young cadet At the exercise Grant was mounted j on a powerful but vicious brute that ; the cadets fought shy of and was put 1 at leaping the bar 1 The bar was placed higher and high er as he came round the ring till it passed tho record. The stubborn rider would not say "'enough," but the horse was disposed to shy and refuse to I make the leap. ' | Grant gritted his teeth and spurred I at it, but just as the horse gathered for j the spring his swelling body burst the 1 girth, and the rider and saddle tumbled | into the ring. Half stunned, Grant gathered him j self up from the dust only to hear the I "strident, cynical voice" of Hershber j ger calling out: "Cadet Grant, six demerits for dis j mounting without leave!"

So the boss called me aud told me togo around and see if I ; coulil do anything for the old fellow, j J I called at the house and asked If I ! j could see him. They let me in.l tip j toed into the room where the sergeant ; j was in bed aud said. 'The lieutenant j sent me around to see how you were 1 getting along.' "He spoke with difficulty, but I could make out what he said. 'Go back,' he grunted, 'and tell 'em that I'm getting along line. The boys have fixed me up all right, and I don't need anything.

Along tho high hedged lane John I Strong swung, the June gloaming deep ening into night. He loved to shovo his face Into the night. He gloried in the uncertainty of night, the iudefi -1 nlteness of night, and his soul cried j back a wild answer to the cry of the j nighthawk and the owl Night is more primitive than day; night is more calamitous: night is a savage; night I everywhere is the true aborigine. Day j has taken on civilization Night hurls the world back to the day of the war I club, the flint arrowhead, the painted visage. John Strong loved the night [ with an almost malevolent love. In ■ the night he could hear the Valkyries screaming, the witches riding their broomsticks, the ghouls scraping the mold from off the new burled coffin John Strong swung along, his face set to meet oncoming night.—Adventure.
