There was a ceaseless rumble In the air M the heavy rain ilropa battered upon the laurel thickets and the matted mess and haggard rocks beneath. Four water soaked men rnado their difficult ways through the drenched forest. Tho little man stopped and shook an angry finger at where night was stealthily fol lowing them. "Cursed be fate and her children and her children's children I We are everlastingly lostl" he cried. The panting procession halted under some dripping, drooping hemlocks and swore in wrathful astonishment, "It will rain for forty days and forty nights," laid the pudgy man moanlngly, "and I feel like a wet loaf of bread now. !W (hall never find our way out of this wildemoas nntil I am made Into a por ridge." In desperation they started again to drag their listless bodies through the watery bushes. After a time, tho clouds 'withdrew from above them and great ,1711111 came from concealment and went Weeping and swirling among the trees. jKlght also came very near and menaced the wanderers with darkness. The little man had determination In his legs. He Scrambled among the thickets and made desperate attempts to find a path or toad. Aa he climbed a hillock ho espied a small clearing upon which sat deso lation and a venerable house, wept over by wind waved pines. "So," he cried, "here's a house." His companions straggled painfully alter him as he fought tho thickets be tween him and the cabin. At their ap proach the wind freniledly opposed them and Bklrled madly in the trees. n,A IIHIa man Ivtldlv MinfrhnUl l.n weird glances from the crannies of the cabin and rapped on the door. A score ol limbers answered with groans, and within something fell to tho floor with a clang. "Ho," said the little man. He stepped back a few paces. Somebody In a distant part started and walked across the floor toward the door with an ominous step. A slate col ored man appeared. He was dressed in ragged shirt and trousers, the latter stalled into his boots. Large tears were falling from his eyes. "How d' do, my f rlendr s:iid tho little man affably, "My ol nncle, Jim Crocker, he's sick tex death," replied the slate colored per son. "Hoi" said thollttloman. "Istlmtso?' The latter'a clothing clung desperately to him and water sogged in his boots. He stood patiently on one foot for a time. "Can you put us up here until tomor row?" he asked finally, "Yes," said the slate colored man. The party passed into a little un washed room, inhabited by u stove, n stairway, a few precarious chairs and a misshapen table, "I'll fry yer some po'k and make yer aome coffee," said the slato colored man to his gnests, "Go ahead, old boy," cried the little man cheerfully from whero he sat on the table smoking his pips mid dangling Ins legs. "lly ol uncle, Jim Crocker, he's sick tex death," said the slate colored man. "Think he'll die-" asked the pudgy man gently. "Nol" "No!" "He won't diet He's an ol man, but he won't die yitl The black dorg hain't been around ylt I" "The black dog!" said the little man feebly. He struggled with himself for a moment. "What's the black dog?' ho asked at last. "He's a sperrit," said the slate colored man in & voice of somber hue. t'Ob,heis! Well?" ' "He ha'nts these partB, he does, an when people are golu to die he comes and sets and howls." "Hoi" said tho little man, He looked out of the window and saw night mak ing a million shadows. The little man moved his legs nerv ously. "I don't believe in these things," said he, addressing the slate colored man, who was scuffling with a sido of pork, "Wot things?" came Incoherently from the combatant. "Oh, these 'er" phantoms and ghosts and what not. All rot, I say." Mnat s because you nave merely a stomach and no soul," grunted the pudgy man. "Ho, old pudgkinsl" replied the little man. His back curved with passion. A tempest of wrath was in the pudgy -man's eye. The final epithet used by the little man was a carefully studied uiuii, always Drougnt forth at a crisis. They quarreled. "All right, pudgkins; bring on your phantom," cried the little man In con clusion. His stout companion's wrath was too huso for words. The little man smiled triumphantly. He had staked his op ponent's reputation. The visitors sat silent The slate col ored man moved about in a small per sonal atmosphere of gloom. Suddenly a strange cry came to their ear from somewhere. It was a low, trembling call which inado the little man quake privatoly in his shoes. The slate colored man bounded at the stair wiy and disappeared with a flash of legs through" a hole in the ceiling. The party below heard two voices in conversation, one belonging to the slate colored man and the other In the quivering tones of age. Directly the slate colored man re appeared from above and said, "Tho ol man is took bad for his supper." He hurriedly prepared a mixture with hot woler, salt and beef. lleef tea it might be called. He disappeared again. Once more the party below heard, Vaguely, talking over their heads. The Voice of age arose to a shriek. "Open the window, fooll Do yoii think I can live In the smell of your oupr liutterings by tho elate colored man and the creaking of a window were fitara. The slate colored man stumbled down the stairs, and said with intense gloom, "The black dorg'U be alone soon." The little man started aud the pudgy man sneered at him. They ate a supper and then sat waiting. The pudgy man listened so palpably that the little man wished to kill him. The wood fire be came excited and sputtered frantically. Without a thousand spirits of the winds bad become entangled In tha pine branches and were lowly pleading to bo loosened. The slate colored man tip toed across the room and lit a timid candle. The men sat waiting. The phantom dog lay cuddled to a round bundle, asleep down the roadway against the windward side of an old shanty. The specter's master had moved to Pike county, but the dog lingered as a friend might linger at the tomb of a friend. His fur was like a suit of old Clothe. His jowls hung and flopped, exposing his teeth. Yellow famine was In hi eyes. The wind rocked ahanty groaned and muttered, but the dog aUpt, Suddenly, however, he got up and shambled to the roadway, lie cast along glance from hi hungry, dec pair ing eye la the direction of the venera ble house. The bretue came full to hi nostrils. Ue threw back hi head and gST a long, low bowl and started in tently np the road. Maybe he smelled dead man. Tie gTwp around the fire la the ven erable house were listening and waiting. Tl4 aUooepbere of the room was tense. Uttkb &kttd muii face VMlr$tk- InjTalid hli drabbed hands Were1 gripped together. The Utile man was contin ually looking behind his chair. Upon the countenance of the pudgy man ap peared conceit for an approaching tri umph over the little man, mingled with apprehension for his own safety. Five pipes glowed as rivals of tho timid can dle, rrofouml silence drooped heavily over them. Finally the plate colored man spoke: "Sly ol uncle, Jim Crocker, ho s sick ter death." Tho four men started and tlien shrank back In their chairs. 'Damn it I" replied tho little mau vaguely. Again tuero was a long silence. Sud denly it was broken by a wild cry from the room above. It was a shriek that struck upon them with appalling swift ness, like a flash of lightning. Tho walls whirled and the floor rumbled. It brought the men together with a rush. They huddled In a heap and stared at tho white terror in each other's faces. The slate colored man grasped the cau dle and flared it above his head. "The black dorg," he howled, and plunged at the stalnvay. The maddened four men followed frantically, for it Is better to be In the presence of the awful than only within hoarlng. Their ears still nuiverlug with the shriek, they bounded through the hole In the celling and into the Blclcroom. with quilts drawn closely to his shrunken breast for a shield, his bony hand gripping the cover, an old man lay, with glaring eyes lixed on the open window. HU throat gurgled and a froth appeared at his month. From the outer darkness came a strange, unnatural wall, burdened with weight of death, and each note filled with foreboding. It was the song of tha spectral dog. 'uodl" screamed the littlu man. Ho ran to the open wiudow. He could see nothing at first save the plno trees, en gaged In a furious combat tossing back and forth and struggling. Tho moon woe peeping cautiously over the lims of somo black clouds. Hut the cluint of tho phantom guided the little man's eyes, and he at length perceived its shadowy form on tho ground under tho window. He fell away gasping at the sight. The pudgy man crouched in a corner, chattering insanely, Tho slato colored man, in his fear, crooked hU legs and hwked like a hideous Chinese Idol, The man upon the bed was turned to stone, save the fioth, which pulsated. In the final struggle terror will fight the inevitable. The littlu man roared maniacal curses, and rushing again to the window began to throw various ar ticles at the ipecter. i. mug, a plate, a knife, a fork, all crashed or clanged on the ground, but the song of tho specter continued. Tho bowl of beef tea followed. As it struck tho ground the phantom ceased its cry. The men In the ciiamlier sank lltniily against tho wulls, with the unearthly wail still ringing in their cars and the fear unfaded from their eyes. They waited again. The little man felt his nerves vibrato. Destruction was better than another wait Ho grasped a caudle and, going to the window, held it over his head and looked out. "Ho!" he said. lib companions crawled to the win dow and peered out with him, "He's eatln the beef tea," said the slate colored man faintly. "Hie damn nog wan Hungry," said the pudgy man, "1 here s your phantom," said the little man to the pudgy man. On the bed, the old man lay dead. Without, tho Bpccter was wagging it tail.

"I saw a balloon ascension and para chute drop down In Texas not so long ago," said Ed Reeder, a well known ball player now with one of the Southwest ern league clubs, "that was very Inter esting, The balloonht Leroy tnade an aerial trip from n small town near Aus tin one day and was to make a parachute leap. When at an altitude of about t,0w0 feet he suddenly recollected that 1 his parachute was a brand new one and had never been tested, Not caring to risk the thing he attached a fifty pound lack of sand (ballast) to the parachute tnd cut It loose. As he feared, the thing fniled to work right and did not open at 111. "The sand aud parachute dropped like a streak to the earth, gaining momentum with every foot of their descent until they struck the wooden roof of a house below, crashing through It like through bo much paper. The balloon soared aloft, and in due time, as the hot air gradually escaped, sank slowly to earth In the midst of a farm several miles from the town. The farm hands had observed its coming, and when it alighted Belted upon the airship, which was a valuable oiled silk affair, and claimed it as the property of the owner of the land be cause It had landed there. The rights of Professor Leroy, who happened to have landed right with his property, were entirely ignored. But the captors were obdurate and finally the professor departed, "He obtained a writ of replevin for his balloon from the nearest squire, and a constable shortly after restored the cap tured airship to its rightful owner. The bole In the roof of the building caused by the professor's sandbag and the dam age consequent thereto had to be re paired and settled for at his expense. Had he taken the place of his Bandbug at the parachute's handle the funeral expenses wonld have' far exceeded the damage to the roof ."Cincinnati Times Star. Sulphurous Vapor In Loudon. No less an authority than the presi dent of the Institute of Civil Engineers has declared that the sulphurous vapor produced during tho combustion of coal Is most beneficial to the inhabitants of London, disagreeable as it undoubtedly Is. As many as 330 tons of sulphur are thrown into the air in one winter's day, and the enormous amount of sulphurous acid generated from it deodoriies and disinfects the air, destrojiug disagree able smells emanating from refuse heaps and sewers and killing the disease germs which find their way Into the atmos phere. There may be a good deal of truth In this view, but there Is undoubtedly an other Bide to the question. It is an old comparison that a doctor and his drugs bear a relationship to the patient and the disease like that of a policeman to ward a householder attacked by a gar rotcr. The policeman lays about with his truncheon; sometimes he hits the householder, sometimes the garroter, and the good or ill which results from his interference will depend upon which party happens to get the most and the heaviest blows. This simile Is admirably suited to sul phurous acid In London fogs, for al though it may be beneficial to the Lon don householders by destroylug mi crobes It certainly frequently does them harm by attacking their lungs and bringing on bronchitis and asthma, which sometimes prove rapidly fatal, to say nothing of the minor discomforts of a disagreeable taste, filthy smell, stuffed nose, husky throat, smarting eyes and headache, London Lancet, A U10reuc of Oplulou.

"I wa once sentenced to be blown from a gun," said Major John Hitch cock. "I had long been a resident of that land of revolutions, Central Amer ica, During one of the semiannual po litical upheavals I was captured by a savage mob known as the army of San Salvador and sentenced to death, In the camp of my captors a 0-pound gun was fired at high noon by means of a sunglass, and to the mutzle of this an tiquated smoothbore I was strapped and left In the broiling sun to await my fate. Now, I have faced several kinds of death in my day, but that knocked all the nerve out of me. I could not see the small, fiery spot made by the sunglass, but I knew that it was creep ing slowly but surely to the powder at the vent. I imagined I could hear the powder hissing with the heat. The blazing sun beat down upon my bare head, blinding me and seeming to boll the blood in my veins. I became hys terical and prayed and cursed by turn. "The great clock in the cathedral was on (he stroke of noon, and I know that the concentrated rays of the sun were pouring squarely upon the powder. The troops were dozing in the shade. A tew, awakened by the bell, raised up on theii elbows and watched me with lazy Inter est, expecting every moment to see me blown to shreds. One two three four five with maddening delibera tion came the strokes of tho bell, when suddenly a harsher note was heard the roar of musketry. The camp was sur prised, and my captors driven were back. The cords were cut, and I sat down be neath the muzzle of the gun just as it belched forth its midday salute." St Louis Globe-Democrat. An American Abroad. Many Americans abroad are exceed ingly annoyed at their lack of skill in the use of the European languages. After a vain attempt tomake a Parisian waiter understand French they swear at bun In English. But I have always re membered when traveling abroad the art of the physician who put all the re mains of old prescriptions into one bot tlethe oil and the calomel and the rhubarb and the asafetlda and when he found a patient with a "complication of diseases" he would shake up his old bottle and give htm a dose. And so I have compounded a language for Eu ropean travel. I generally take a little French and a little German and a little English, with a few snatches of Chinese and Choctaw, and when I find a stub born case of waiter or landlord that will not understand I simply shake up all the dialects and give him a dose. It Is sure to strike somewhere. If you cannot make htm understand, yon at any rate give him a terrible scare. I never had the anxiety of some in a strange land getting things to eat. 1 like everything In all the round of diet except animated cheese and odorous codfish; always have a good appetite, never in my life missed a meal save once, when I could not get any, and knowing that "eine gerostoto riendlleiecb tcbiebe" means a beefsteak, "eine mes ser" a knife, and "eine gabel" a fork, and "eine serviette" a napkin, after that feel perfectly reckless as to what I can or cannot get. Rev. T. Do Witt Talmage in Ladles' Home Journal. Herd Work. How mauy men like hard work? Mauy of us are ready enough to tax our mindt or our muscles to tho utmost for a cer tain object, but it is the object we lore, not the labor. If we could obtain the end we covet without exertion, which ol us would toll and sweat a a matter ol choice? Horace Greeley, who was one of the hardest workers of hi day and generation, used to say that nine-tenths of those who profess to be enamored ol work are mere hypocrites. Adam himself was an indolent fellow. Had it been otherwise the cultivation ol the soil would not have been imposed upon him as a penalty for his disobedi ence. He was quite taken back when told that ho must live by the sweat ol his face. He would have preferred the life of a gentleman of leisure, and most of hi descendant take after him In that particular. Nevertheless we toll with an energy and perseverance that do honor to our shall we say to our greed? But mark our cunning. All the time we are inventing labor saving machin ery, manufacturing dumb slaves to do our bidding, while we look on and ad mire their energy. Pomona Progress. Uedlcal Kuonlodge In Novels. Wilkie Collins made a specialty of his medical knowledge, and it was upon this account that he wo induced to un dertake an antivivisection novel, which he published under the name of "Heart and Science." The work was equally unsatisfactory both to the persons who Inspired it and to tho general public. Wilkie Collins' effort In this direction was a complete failure, and his medical men and his wonderful drugs could never have existed outside of hi own imagination.

Kapoleon'e llaae Trretnient of the CI rest Geoerel Ilia ITiitlineljr liiid. Thirty yenrs ago Toussalnt L'Ouver tare was a name to conjure with. Poets and orators described his virtues and his genius and cited him as an illustrious example of the capabilities of his race. A romantic Interest will always attach to Ills name. The fact that for fifty-four years he lived in deepest oWnrity as a slave on a llaytlan plantation and the eplo character of his sulisequent achieve ments give n tinge or antique heroism to his history. The French colony In Hay tl w as long one of the greatest slave marts in the world. At the time of the French revo lution there were in the colony 30,000 whites, 20,000 free mulattoes and SO0.OO0 slaves. The mulattoes, many of whom had been educated In France, took ad vantage of the revolution and obtained a recognition of their political rights from the French assembly) the whites of Haytl refused to recognize the decision and a war broVe out which was soon complicated by an uprising of the whole slave population. On a memorable night in August, 1791, the plantations were fired and many of the whites were mur dered. Toussalnt had not at this time ac quired tbe name of L'Ouverture. This word, meaning "the opening," was ap plied to him afterward because he opened a way for the freedom of his race through the chaotic conditions of the following years. In the dreadful wars of the years fol lowing the uprisal of tbe slaves his ex traordinary influence over his race and bis military genius gave him pre-eminence over all other chiefs. A design of freeing his race, which could only be accomplished by making it the ruling race of Haytl, gradually took shape In his mind and forms the key note of his career. France, Spain aud England each bid high for his alliance, but France de clared for the freedom of the slaves and he finally ranged himself under the French flag. It was evidently his desire to maintain a desirable connection with a European power which wonld yet leave him at liberty to develop his plans for his own race, but the realization of his idea required a disinterested co-op eration of which no European govern ment waa capable. In a few years he had been recognized by France as commander in chief of the army of Haytl and was practically dic tator of the island. As a ruler of Haytl he surrounded himself with tne pomp of a prince, ah though personally he retained habits of severe simplicity. Ue ate sparingly and slept little, being possessed of extraor dinary powers of endurance. In dignity of manner he was entirely equal to his position. He endeavored to reconcile conflicting races, and his rule was im partial and able. But Napoleon was not the man to al low a dictator under himself. He sent an army of 80,000 men to Haytl to re store slavery and reduce the colony to subjection. Suspecting the true purpose of the ex pedition, Toussalnt resisted the landing of the army, but finally laid down his arms after he had been assured that there was no intention of restoring slavery and that he injured the cause of hi race by resistance. He was still too powerful to be openly seized, but he was decoyed Into the French quarters and was then hurried on board a vessel and carried to France. He hoped to meet Napoleon and defend his conduct, but on landing he was se cretly hurried to a lonely fortress in the Alps, where he shortly afterward died. Many wild stories attributing his death to murder found credence at the time. Neglect and the change from a tropio to an Alpine climate doubtless hastened his end. Ily his removal the progress of his race was Incalculably retarded. While Toussalnt's fate and place of im prisonment were still unknown, Wads- worth wrote the beautiful sonnet, "To Toussalnt L'Ouverture." His history is the subject of a drama by Lamaitlne, and of a novel, "The Hour and the Han," by Harriet Martineau. During the antislavery agitation in the United States he was cited as a most illustrious example of tho real capabilities of his race. A poem by Whlttler and an ora tion by Wendell Phillips commemorate his virtues and his genius. Detroit Free Fress. Kccentrlo Wills. Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin guishes the will proved iu 1721 of Henry Trigg, of Stonage, of the county of Hertford, grocer, who directed that his body should be committed to the west end of his hovel, to be decently laid mere upon a noor erected by his execu tors; and only sixty years ago, it is said, the bones of Mr. Trigg still remained onbuned In the ratters at the west end of his hovel aforesaid. A provision, quite as bizarre, was made in the will of the phllosopbio Jeremy Bentham, who enjoined his executors to embalm his corpse and dress it in tbe clothes which he was accustomed to wear in his life time, in order that he might form the text of a lecture to be delivered annu ally at a literary institute held at a school of anatomy in Windmill street, HaytnarkeL On the occasion of one of tho lectures on Jeremy Bentham's mummy the ven erable philosopher's head fell off and came to irremediable grief, whereupon an artificial head was modeled in wax by Miss Margaret Gillies, the distin guished miniature painter, but the mummy with the waxen head has long since faded out of the public ken.

On such occasions be said to an old servant, whose hair was like the duke's, "Sit down, John; I must cut off another lock 1" Fortnightly He View. Tbe Antiquity of the Arabian lleree. How far back do the pedigrees run and what is tbe origin of the Arabian horse? These questions it is impossible to answer definitely. The Bedouins themselves believe that Allah created the equine genus on their soil. "The root or spring of the horse is," they say, in the land of tne Arab. luls pious belief is shared by a few generous souls in England and America, a small but devoted band, who gallantly defend the cause of the Arabian horse against his only rival, the modem Euglish thorough bred. Chief among these faithful was the late Major It. D. Upton, who visited the desert himself and who has recorded his experience and his views. Alajor Upton concluded that the borse waa found in Arabia "not later than about 100 years after the deluge, if in deed he did not find his way there im mediately after the exodus from the ark, which is by no means improbable," and this probability the author tbeu proceeds seriously to consider. According to Ma jor Upton and a few kindred spirits all other breeds are mongrels, aud th only way to procure horseflesh in its best and purest form is to go back to the fountain Lead to the horse of the desert Atlan tic Monthly.
