10 srav of varvine the monotony, he moved king's knight's pawn a single square. I wondered and held my peace. There might be a gambit based unon these lines, or there might not; but since I was quite . clear that I knew no reply to such an open ing I thought I would try a little experi ment, and put out my hand, not with the slightest conception ot any particular move in my hand, but simply to see what hap pened. Instantly a grasp fastened on my wrist; my hand was guided to king's knight's pawn a single square. This was getting, from every point of view, to be distinctly interesting. The chessmen appeared to be possessed of a ' property of which Bobineau bad been un aware. I caught myself wondering if he wonld have insisted on a higher price if he had known ot it. Curiosities nowadays do fetch such fancy sums and what price fora ghost? They appeared to be automatic chessmen, automatic in a sense entirely their own. Having made my move, or having had somebody else's move made lor me, which is perhxps the more exnct way of putting it, I contemplated my antagonist. "VThen he saw what I had done, or what somebody else had done the things are eqnal St. Servan frowned. He belongs to the bony variety, the people who would not loll in a chair to save their lives his aspect struck me as being even more poker-like than usual. He meditated his reply an unconscionable length of time, the more unconscionable since I strongly.doubted it it would be his reply after all. But at last he showed signs of action. He kept his eyes fixed steadily upon the board, his frown became pronounced, and he began to raise his hand. I write 'began,' because it was a process which took come time. Cautiouslv he brought it up, inch by inch. But no soonerhad he brought it over the board than his behavior became quite singular. He positively glared, and to uiy eyes seemed to be having a. struggle with bis own right hand. A struggle in which he was worsted, lor he leaut back in his seat with a curiously discomfited air. He had moved queen's rock's pawn two squares the automatic principle which im pelled these chessmen seemed to have a par tiality for pawns. It was my turn for reflection. I pressed the tobacco down in my pipe, and thought or tried to think it out. "Was it an hallucination, and was St. Servan the victim of hallucination, too? Had I moved those pawns spontaneously. actuated bv the impulseot my own tree will, or hadn't I? And what was the meaning of the little scene I had just observed? I am a tolerably strong man. It would require no slight exercise of torce to compel me to move one piece when I had made up mind that I would move another piece instead. I have been told, and I believe not altogether un truly told, that the rigidity of rav right wrist resembles iron. 1 have not spent so much time in the tennis court and fencing room for nothing. I had tried one experi ment. I thought I would try another. I made up my mind that I would move queen's pawn two stop me who stop can. I felt certain that St. Servan in his turn was watching me. Preposterously easy though the leat appeared to be as I resolved on its performance, I was conscious of an unusual degree ot cerebral excitement a sort of leeling ot do or die. But as, in spite of the feeling, I didn't do. it was perhaps as well x didn t die. intending to keep con trol over my own muscles, I raised my right hand, probably to the full as cautiously as St, Servan had done. I approached the queen's pawn. I was just about to seize the piece when that unseen grasp fastened on my wrist. I paused, with something of the feeling which induces the w restler to pause beiore entering on the veritable tug of war. For one tiling, I was desirous to satisty myself as to the nature of the grasp what it was that seemed to grasp me. It seemed to be a hand. The ringers went over the back of my wrist and the thumb beneatn. The fingers were long and thin it was altogether a slender hand. But it seemtd to be a man'? hand, and an old man's hand at that. The skin was tough and wrintled, clammy and cold. On the little finger there was a ring, and on the first, about the region of the nrst joint, appeared to be something of the nature 01 a wart. I should say that it was anything but a beau tiful hand, it was altogether too attenuated and clawlike, and I would have betted that it was yellow with age. At first the pressure was slight, almost as slight as the touch of a baby's hand, with n gentle inclination to one side. But as I kept my own hand firm, stiff, resolved upon my own particular move, with, as it were, a sudden snap, the pressure tightened and, not a little to my discomfiture, I felt mv wrist held as in an" iron vise. Then, as ft must have seemed to St. Servan, who, I was aware, was still keenly watch ing me, I began to struggle with my own band. The spectacle might have been fun to him, but the reality was, at that moment, anything but tun to me. I was dragged to one side. Another hand was fastened upon mine. My fingers were forced open I had tightly clenched my fist to enable me better to resist my wrist was forced down, my fingers were closed upon a piece, I was compelled to move it forward, my fingers were unfastened to replace the piece upon the board. The move completed, the unseen grasp instantly relaxed, and I was iree, or appeared to be free, again to call my .hand my own. I had moved queen's rook's pawn two squares. This may seem comical enough to read about, bnt it was anything but comical .to feel. When the thing was done I stared at St Servan, and St. Servan stared at me. "We stared at each other, I suppose, a good long minute, then I broke the pause. Anything tne matter?' I inquired. He put up his'hand and curled his mustache, and, if I may say so, he curled his lip as well. 'Do you notice anything odd about about the game?' As I spoke about the game I motioned my hand toward my brand sew set of chessmen. He looked at me with hard, suspicious eyes. 'Is it a trick ol yours?' he asked. 'Is what a trick of mine?' 'If you don't know, then how should I?' I drew a whiffor two from my pipe, look ing at him keenly all the time, then signed toward the board with my hand. 'It's your move,' I said. He merely inclined his head. There was a momentary pause. When he stretched out his hand he suddenly snatched it back again, and half started from his seat with a stifled execration. 'Did you leel anything upon your wrist?' I asked. 'ilon Dieu 1 It is not what I feel see thatl' He was eyeing his wrist as he spoke. He held it out under the glare of the lamp. I bent across and looked at it For so old a mac he had a phenomenally white and deli cate akin under the glare "of the lamp the impressions of finger-marks were plainly vis ible upon his wrist I whistled as I saw them. 'Is it a trick of yours?' he asked again. It is certainly no trick of mine.' 'Is there anyone in the room besides us two?' I shrugged my shoulders and looked round. He too looked round, with some thing I thought not quite easy in his glance. 'Certainly no one of my acquaintance.and certainly no one who is visible to mel' With his fair white hand the leit. not the one which had the finger marks upon the wrist St Servan smoothed his hnge mus tache. 'Someone, or something, has compelled me yes, from the first to move, not as I would, but bahl I know not how.' Vhxactly the same thing has occurred to me.' I laughed. St Servan glared. Evidently the humor of the thing did not occur to him, he being the sort o. a man who wonld re quire a surgical operation to make him see a joke. But tke humorous side of the situ ation struck me forcibly. 'Perhaps we are 'avored by the presence of a ghost perhaps even by the ghost of M. Funichon. Perhaps, after all, he has not yet played his last game with his favorite et He may have returuedshall we say from where? to try just one more set-to with nsl If, mv dear sir I waved my pipe affably, as though addressing an unseen per sonage 'it is really you, I bee you will re Teal yourself materialize is, I believe, the Expression now in vogue and show us the sort of ghost you are!' Somewhat to my surprise, and consider ably to my amusement, St Servan rose from his seat and stood by the table, stiff and straight as a scuffold pole. 'These,Honsieur, are subjects on which one does not jest' 'Do you, then, believe in ghosts?' I knew he was a superstitious man witness his fidelity to the superstition of right divine but this was the first inkling I had had of how tar his superstition carried him. 'Believe! In ghostsl In what, then, do you believe? I, Monsieur, am a religious man.' 'Do you believe, then, that a ghost is present with us now the ghost, for instance, ol M. Funichon?' St Servan paused. Then he crossed him selfactually crossed himself before my eyes. When he spoke, there was a peculiar dryness in his tone. 'With your permission, Monsieur, I will' retire to bed. There was an exasperating thing to sayl There must be a large number of men in the world who would give well, a good round sum, to light even on the trail ot a ghost And here were we in the actual presence of something let us say ap parently curious, at any rate, and here was St Servan calmly talking about retiring to bed, without "making the slight est attempt to examine the tbingl It was enough to make the members of the Psychi cal Research Society turn in their graves. The mere suggestion fired my blood. 'I do beg, St Servan, that you at least will fiuish the game.' I saw he hesitated, so I drove the nail well home. 'Is it possi ble that you, a brave man, having given proofs ot courage upon countless fields, can turn tail at what is doubtless an hallucina tion alter all?' 'Is it that Monsieur doubts my courage?' I knew tbe tone if I was not careful I should have an affair upon my hands. 'Come, St Servan, sit down and finish the game.' Another momentary pause. He sat down, and it would not be correct to write that we finished the game, but we made another effort to go on. My pipe had gone out I refilled and lighted it 'You know, St Servan, it is really non sense to talk about ghosts.' 'It is a subject on which I never talk.' 'It something does rompel us to make moves which we do not intend, it is some thing which is capable of a natural explana tion.' 'Perhaps Monsieur will explain it, then?' l will! XJeiore x ve nnishedl XI you only won't turn tail and go to bedl I think it Very possible, too, that tbe influence, whatever it is, has gone it is quite on the cards that ;ur imagination has played us some subtle trick. It is your move, but be fore you do anything just tell me what move you mean to make.' 'I will move' he hesitated 'I will move queen's pawn. He put out his hand, and, with what seemed to me hysterical suddenness, he moved king's rock's pawn two squares. 'So! Our friend is still -here, then! I suppose you did not change your mind?' There was a very peculiar look about St. Servan's eyes. 'I did not change my mind.' I noticed, too, that his lips were uncom monly compressed. 'It is mv move now. I will move queen's pawn. We are not done yet When X put out my hand you grasp my wrist and we shall see what we shall see.' 'Shall I come round to vnu?' 'No, stretch out across the table now!' I stretched out my hand; that instant he stretched out his, but spontaneous though the action seemed to be, another, an unseen hand, bad fastened on my wrist. He ob served it too. 'There appears to be another hand between yours and mine.' 'I know there is.' Before I had the words well out my hand had been wrenched aside, my fingers unclosed, and then closed, then unclosed again, and I had moved king's rook's pawn two squares. StServan and I sat staring at each other for my part I felt a little bewildered. 'This is very curious! Very curious in deed! But before we say anything about it we will try mother little experiment, if yon don't mind. I will come over to you. I went over to him. 'Let me grasp your wrist with both my hands. I grasped it us firmly as x could, as it lay upon his knee. "Now try to move queen's pawn.' He began to raise bis hand, I holding on to his wrist with all my strength. Hardly had he raised it to the level of the table when two unseen hands, grasping mine, tore them away as though my strength were of no account I saw him give a sort of shud der he had moved queen's bishop's pawn two squares. 'This is a devil ot'a ghost!' I said. St Servan said nothing. But he crossed himself, not once, but half a dozen times. 'There is still one little experiment that I wish to make.' St Servan shook his head. 'Sot II' he said. 'Ah, but, my friend, this is an experiment which I can make without your aid. I sim ply want to know if there is nothing tangible about our unseen visitor except his hands. It is my move.' I returned to my side of the table. I again addressed myselr, as it were, to an unseen auditor. 'My good ghost, my good M. Funichon it it is you yon are at liberty to do as you desire with my hand.' I held it out It instantly was grasped. With my left hand I made several passes in the air up and down, behind and beiore, in every direction so tar as I could. It met with no resistance. There seemed to be nothing tangible but those fingers which grasped my wrist and I had moved queen's bishop's pawn two squares. St Servan rose trora his seat. 'It is enough. Indeed it is too much. This ribaldry must cease. It had been bet ter had Monsieur permitted me to retire to bed.' 'Then you are sure it is a ghost the. ghost ot M. Funichon, we'll say.' 'This time Monsieur must permit me to wish him a good night's rest' He bestowed tn me, as his manner was, a stiff inclination of the head, which would have led a stranger to suppose that we had met each other for the first time ten minutes ago, instead of being the acquaintances of 12 good years. He'inoved across the room. 'St Servan, one moment before you go! You are surely not going to leave a man alone at the post of peril!' 'It were better that Monsieur should come too.' 'Half a second, and I will. I have only one remark to make, and that is to the ghost' I rose from my seat St Servan made a half-movement toward the door, then changed his mind and remained quite still. 'II there is any other person with us in the room, may I ask that person to let us hear his voice, or hers? Just to speak one word.' Not a sound. 'It is possible I am not acquainted with the laws which govern eh ghosts that the faculty of speech is denied to them. If that be so, might I ask i or the favor of a sign for instance, move a piece while my J lnend and x are standing where we are. Not a rign; not a chessman moved. 'Tnen M. Funichon, it it indeed be you, and you are incapable of speech, or even of moviag a piece of your own accord, and are only able to spoil our game, I beg to in form you that you are an exceedingly ill mannered and foolish person, and had tar better have stayed away. As I said this I was conscious of a cur rent of cold air before mv face, as though a Ewntly moving hand had shaved my cheek. "By Jove, St Servan, something has happened at last I believe our iriend the ghost has tried to box my ears! St Servan's reply came quietly stern. 'I think it were better that Monsieur csme with me.' For some reason St Servan's almost con temptuous coldness fired my blood. I be came suddenly enraged. 'I shall do nothing of the kindl Do yon think lam going to be fooled by a trumpery conjuring trick which would disgrace a shilling seance? -Driven to bed at this time ol day by a gboitl And such a ghostl If it were something like a ghost one wouldn't mind; but a fool of a ghost like this!' Even as the words passed my lips I felt the touch of fingers against "my throat. The THE touch increased my rage. I snatched at them, only to find that there was nothing there. D you!' I cried. 'Funichon, you old fool, do you think that you can irighten me? You see those chessmen; they are mine, bought and paid -for with my money you dare to try and prevent me doing with them exactly as I please.' Again tbe touch against mv throat It made my rage the more. 'As I live, I will smash them all to pieces, and grind them to powder beneath my heel,' My passion was ridiculous childish even. But then the circumstances were exasperat ing unusually so.-one might plead. I was standing three or four feet from the table. I dashed torward. As I did so a hand was fastened on my -throat Instantlv it was joined by another. , They gripped me tightly. Thev maddened me. With a mad man's fury I still pressed forward. I might as well have fought with fate. They clutched me as with bands of steel, and flung me to the ground. " When I recovered consciousness I found St. Servan bending over me. 'What is thejtuatter?' I inquired, when I found that I was lying on the floor. 'I think vou must have fainted.' 'Fainted! I never did such a thing in my life. It must have been a curious kind of faint, I think.' It was a curious kind of faint' With bis assistance 1 staggered to my feet. I felt bewildered. I glanced round. There were the chessmen still upon the board, the hanging lamp above. I tried to speak. I seemed to have lost the use of my tongue. In silence he helped me to the door; half led, half carried me fori seemed to have lost the user of my feet as well as that of my tongue to my bedroom. He evenassisted me to undress, never leaving me till I was between the sheets. All the time not a word was spoken. When he went I believe he took the key outside and locked the door. That was a night of dreams. I know not if I was awake or sleeping, but all sorts of strange things presented themselves to my mental eye. X could not shut them from my sight. One figure was prominent in all I saw the figure of a man." I knew, or thought I" knew, that it was M. Funichon. He was a lean old man, and what L noticed chiefly were his hands. Such ugly bands! In some fan tastical way I seemed to be contending with them all through the night And yet in the morning when I woke for I did wake up, and that trom as sweet re freshing sleep as one might wish to have it was all gone. It was bright day. Th sua was shining into the great, ill-furnished room. As I got out of bed and began to dress, the humorous side of the thing had returned to me again. The idea of there being anything supernatural about a set of ivory chessmen appeared to me to be ex tremely lunny. X found fat Servan had gone out. It was actually 10-30! His table d'hote at the Hotel de Bretagne was at 11, and before he breakfasted he always took a petit verre at the club. It he had locked the door over night he had not forgotten to unlock it be iore he started. X went into the rambling, barn-like room which served us for a salon. The chessmen had dis appeared. Probably St Servan had put them away I wondered if the ghost had in terfered with him. I laughed to myself as I went out fancy St Servan contending with a ghost. The proprietor of the Hotel de Bretagne is Legitimist, so all tbe aristocrats go there of course, St Servan with the rest Pre sumably the landlord's politics is the point, to his cooking they are apparently indiffer ent I never knew a worse table in my lifel The landlord of the Hotel de l'Europe mav be a Communist fr all I care bis cooking is first-rate, so I go there. I went there that morning. After I had breakfasted I strolled off towaid the Grand Bue, to M. Bobineau. , When he saw me' M. Bobineau was all smirks and smilesMie must have got those chessmen for less than 25 francs! I asked him if he had any more of the belongings ol M. Funichon." 'But certainly! Three other sets of chess men.' I didn't want to look at those, apparently one set was quite enough for me. Was that all be had? 'But no! There was an ancient bureau, very magnificent, carved ' X thanked him nor did I want to look at that. In the Grande Bue at Morlaixold bureaus carved about the beginning of the fi teenth century if you listpn to the vendors are as plentiful as cobble-stones. 'But I have all sorts of things of M. Funichon. It was I who bought them nearly all. Books, papers and ' M. Bobineau waved his hands toward a multitude of books and papers which crowded the shelves at the side of his shop. I took a volume dow,n. When I opened it I found it was in manuscript 'That work is unique!' explained Bobineau. 'It was the intention of M. Funichon to give it to the world, but he died before his purpose was complete. It is the record of all the games of chess he ever plaved in 50 volumes. Monsieur will perceive it is unique.' I should think it was unique! In 50 volumes! The one I held was a large quarto, bound in leather, containing some 600 or 700 pages, and was filled from cover to cover with matter in a fine, clear hand writing, written on both sides of the page. I pictured the face of the publisher to whom it was suggested that he should give to the world such a work as that 1 opened the volume at the first page. It was, as Bobineau said, Epparently the rec ord, with comments, ot an interminable series of games of chess. I glanced at the initial game. Here are the opening moves, just as they were given there; WHITS. Queen's Knight's Pawn, one square. King's Knight's Pawn, one square. Queen's Rook's Pawn, two squares. King's Rook's Pawn, two squares. BLACK. Queen's Knight's Pawn, one sqnare. King's Knight's Pawn, one square. Queen's Rook's Pawn, two squares. King's Rook's Dawn, two squares. They were exactly .the moves of the night beiore. They were such peculiar moves, and made under such peculiar circum stances, that I was scarcely likly to mistake them. So far as we had gone, St Servan and I, assisted by the unseen hand, had re produced M. Funichon's initial game in the hrst volume of his 50 and a very peculiar game it seemed to be. I asked Bobineau what he would take for the volume which I held. 'Monsieur perceives that to part them would spoil the set, which is unique. Monsieur shall have the whole 50' 1 shuddered. I imagine Bobi neau sw I did, he spoke so very quickly 'ior a 5-franc piece, which is less than the value ol the paper and -the binding.' I knew then that he had probably been paid tor carting the rubbish awuy. How ever, I paid him his 5-.ranc piece, and marched off with the volume under my arm, giving him to understand, to his evident disappointment, that .at my leisure I would give him instructions as to the other 49. As I went along I thought the mutter over. M. Funichon seemed to have been a singular kind of man he appeared to have carried his singularity eyen beyond the grave. Could it have been the cold-blooded intention of his ghost to make us play the whole contents of the 50 volume; through? What a fiend of a ghost his ghost must bel I opened the volume and studied the initial game. The people were right who had said that the man was mad. None but an imbecile would have played such a game his right hand against his left! and none but a raving madman would have recorded his imbecility in black and white, as tbongh it were a thing to be proud oi ! Certainly none but a criminal lunatic would have en deavored to foist his puerile travesty of the game and study of chess upon two innocent men. Still the thing was -curious. I flattered myself that St Servan' would be startled when be saw the contents of the book I was carrying home. I resolved that I would in stantly get out the chessmeu and begin an other game perhaps 'the ghost of M. Funichon would favor us with a further ex position of his ideas of things. I even msde up my mind that.T would communicate with the Psychical .Research. Society. 2Jot PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, at all improbably they might think the case sufficiently remarkable to send down a mem ber of their body to inquire into the thing upon the spot I almost began to hug my self on the possession of a ghost, a ghost, too. which might be induced to perform at will almost on the principle of 'drop a coin into the slot and the figures move!' It was cheap atlOO francs. What a stir those chess men still might make! What vexed prob lems they might solve! Unless I was much mistaken, the expenditure of those 100 francs bad placed me on the royal road to immortality. Filled with such thoughts I reached our rooms. I ound that St Servan had re turned. With him, if I may say so. he had brought his Iriends. Such friends! Ye Goths! When I v opened the door the first thing which greeted me was a.strong, not to say suffocating, smell of incense. Tbe room was filled with smoke. A fire was blazing on the hearth. Be ore it was St. Servan,- on his knees, his hands clasped in rout of him, in an attitude of prayer. By him stood a priest, in his robes of office. He held what seemed a pestle and mortar, whose contents he was throwing by bandlulsou to tbe flames, muttering some doggerel to himself tbe while. Behind him were two acolytes, With sice clean faces, and nice wblte stoles, who were swinging censers heuce the odor which filled the room. I was surprised when I beheld all this. Tbey appeared to be holding some sort of religious service and I bad not bargained for that sort of thing when I had arranged with St Servan to snare the rooms with him. In my sur prise I unconsciously interrupted the pro ceedings. 'St. Servan! Whatever is the meaning of this?' St Servan looked up, and the priest looked round that was all the attention they paid to me. The alcolytes eyed me with what I conceived to be a grin upon their faces. But I was not to be put down like that. 'I must ask vou. St Servan. for an ex planation.' The priest turned the mortar upside down and emptied the remainder of the contents into the fire. 'It is finished,' he said. St Servan rose from his knees and crossed him sell. "We have exorcised the demon,' he said. "You have what?' I asked. 'We have driven out the evil spirit which possessed the chessmen. I gasped. A dreadiul thought struck me. You don't mean to say that you have dare to play tricks with my property?' 'Monsieur,' said the priest, 'I have ground it into dust' He had. That fool of a St. Servan had actually fetched his parish priest, and his acolytes, and their censers, and between them they had performed a comminatory service made and provided for the driving out of demons. They had ground my ivory chessmen in the pestle and mortar, and then burned them in the fire. And this in the d.iys of the Psychical Research Society! And they; had cost me a hundred francs! And that idiot of a ghost had never stretched out a hand or said a word! LATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Liberals gain a seat in Carnarvon. Emperor William visited Count Herbert Bismarck yesterday.

From any of the tiny lava peats in the suburbs of Catania, within one's range of vision the fancy can summon to their olden places the myth-wraiths of Jove's most pow er ul helpers, irowuine from Etna's smoky crest; the wraith of Empedocles wandering on Etna's side, clothed in purple and bear ing a Delphic crown, five centuries beiore Christ; of Dionysius, tbe elder, 200 years later, after destroying Kaxos scaling the walls or little filola above, like a lerocious beast to butcher its deienders; of the silver tongued Alcibiades.down therein the amphi theater, built between 400 and 500 years before Christ, which you can to-day see BENEATH AGES OF LATA. enthralling the Catanians with his loving speech, while the Athenians were treacher ously entering the city along the shore; of the demigod warriors and philosophers flashing like meteors within the scenes of the Soman Amphitheater, scarcely less majestic than the Coliseum, whose frag ments still exist beneath the street of Slesi choros; of that old lawmaker we ought to have at Washington, Charondas, who de creed that legislators should only make, or unmake laws while standing with a halter around their necka beiore the people, ready for hanging, should their propositions fail to prevail; of St. Paul fervidly preaching a simple faith in a simpler way than Christianity now enforces its unyielding and aggretsive creeds, down there among tbe lowlv upon the Ionian shore; away to the south, the wraiths of countless hosts of invaders who perished upon the Catanian plains, once the granary of the world, where Ceres, with her own divine hands, sowed the first wheat and taught men "to till the .soil,-and beyond, skirting tbe Ionian blue, those myriad wraiths of myths and humans that knew the birth, acme, decay, despair and destruction of that most magnificent of all Hellenic cities, glorious, sad, transcendent, pitiable, Syracuse, For truly all this and a thousand fold more are seen with the eyes of sense and thought, while the lightning flashes o:' fancy course the realms of mythology and history. There, at Etna,Enceladus, bound beneath Jupiter's earthly thron", turning upon his fiery bed every centnry or so, shakes the world with his earthquakes. Here, at Cata nia, 20 centuries of storied treasure and art lie buried beneath seas of liquid fire. Beyond, at Syracuse, tbe uoblest magnifi cence ot Greek achievement is crumbling beneath centuries ot filth. The sea, the mo rasses with their deadly miasma, and tbe ever threatening furies of Etna, alone re main. Resplendent civilizations are an nihilated. Etna roared, the seas engulfed, the morasses swept hosts away. That was 2,500 years ago. We say of that time. Super stition was the mother of Mythology. Let Etna roar, a tidal waveengulr, or a stinking swamp breed a pestilence to girdle the earth, a more sodden superstition and fatalism are here to accept the old, and create new, buga boos to-day. hat availed bt. Paul s aus terity, St. Peter's benignancjr, or even that a Christ was born, to such as these? EVIDENCES OF ETNA'S WRATH. But how can you long continue with the gods, when vile beggars chase you from one classic point to another, and alert and ven turesome fleas, brave as another Italian whose discoveries we are about to celebrate, swarm over new world's of conquest upon your toothsome American anatomy? It is impossible. And so you see Catania with eyes of to-day. The streets are paved with lava, fountains are carved from lava, floors are tiled with lava, interiors are built irom lava, the very dishes one eats from are turned out of lava, and the bread one gets is hard, shiny and tasteless as lava itself. You can never get away irom a constant conscious ness ot the source of destructiveness and revivification bowling Etna is to Catania, to its near cities, tbe dense population herding all abont its base, and even to smiling and exultant nature itself. Over 80 eruptions of Etna are oi historic record. It spews out rivers of liquid fire every generation or so. These obliterate cities, villages, the very face of nature. The people run away and let the lava cool. -Then they come back and dig out their homes,urcomposedlycutblocks from the handy substance and build anew. Perhaps 90,000 souls exist in Catania. The palaces which border her principal streets are very new, splendid and great; perhaps the Biscaria Palace, which houses vast stores ol Greek sarcophagi, terra cottas, vases and sculptures, excavated from the lava, being the most imposing. Then there is the Ma rina, where the lowly gather and listen to the music ot Government bands, a filthy place much loved by the lazzaroni. Bnt the Bellini Garden, out on the heights to ward Etna, is surpassingly beautiful; and in this you will see military officials re splendent in uniiorms and decorations, lords and princes covered with INSIGNIA OF BANK, all the really interesting aristocracy of Catania, and truly tbe most winsome, soulful-eyed, emptv-headed women of Sicily. Of the Greco-Roman remains the theater can be visited- by the use ot guides and torches. The ancient Odeum is near; and in Archebusiri street will be ound what is leit ot the Roman Amphitheater. Under tbe Piazza del Duomo, adjacent to the great Cathedral are the Soman baths; but the best preserved specimens of these are seen underneath the Carmelite Church, where there still remain, in marble, the warm bath, the hot water batb, tbe vapor bath, and the fireroom and the disrobing room. There are many medieval halt-ruined structures of in terest in Catania; whiie the unfinished Mon astery of San Nicola is, excepting that of Mufra in Portugal, tbe largest and most im posing in all Europe. But the traveler is not so much attracted to Catania by its reminders ol amightvpast 'as he is to put eyes ana feet upon the mon ster wh.cn all through that known time stood moaning or thundering above it. Its ascent is begun within the very streets of the city. Strada Etna, Catania's longest street, beginning at the very edge of the port-side leads almost due north toward the volcano's peak, "within a (er feet ot 11,000 feet above the level of the seaj"und fully 28 miles away. The area of couutry domi nated by the mountain, and at all times subject to overflow of lava is astounding. Its circumference is fully 170 miles, and it describes au irregular circle, of greatest di ameter from north to south. Catania stands at the extreme of a southern deflection in its southern segment. The Alcantara river, rising in its northwestern foot hills, flows to tbe northeast, thence circles its northern edge, and finally sweeps 'around to the southeast into the sea. The Simeteo river, having its source at the northerst, near that oi the Al cantara, circles the base, first to the south west, then southward, and then flows around and into the sea to the southeast, below Catania. From Catania to the moutli of the Alcantara, tbe Ionian sea on the east, run 12, 1890. ning with almost a straight wall of shore, cuts a thin segment out of this circle. But within this extraordinarily distinct circle of 170 miles, there is not a square inch of the earth's surface over which the lava has not at some time poured: which one cannot now" .distinguish to be unadulterated lava soil; and which is not subject to-day, or any other time, to a new coating o molten lava. SICILIAN FEASANTS. The entire majestic contour of the moun tain, broken here and there by lesser vol canoes, is visible Irom any point at this tre mendous base-edge: but more strange than all else is the density of population within the lower and cultivably luxuriant rim. Threading the base, along the seashore, around to the north by the shores of the Al cantara, around to the south along the inner or northern shore of the Simeteo, and crowd ing up to the very edge of its lesser vol canoes, are between 60 and 70 cities and villages, housing and every human being in life-long danger of destruction upward ot agu.uuu souls. It is a singular fact that within all the Etna mountain area there is but oneroid leading to the cone. That is from Catania. Therelore Catanians block the way to the peak with every device known to the imagi nation of man for yielding tribute. Swarthy boatmen at the quays, muleteers in the plazas, porters at your inn, consuls' attaches everywhere, all manner of officials, and even members of the nobility, dig pitfalls for the stranger, that he may be robbed, gracefully and under the law, be ore seeing Etna. The guides are represented to the world as the chief robbers here. They are simply trifling incidents in comparison to all tbe catastrophes of extortion. "Etna de stroys us," said an official in smiling ex planation; "we utilize its. grandeur to re build our fortunesl" A pleasant arrange ment this for the Catanians; but let me tell those who are to come here the truth. You cannot make the ascent of Etna as it is ordinarily made for less than $100. Per mission to make this move, then that one, then another, comes through apparent diplomacy; but always after an outlay of money. Then there are the animals, their attendants; the cooks, their attendants; needed and needless provisions; necessary and unnecessary clothing; requisite and dangerous liquids; and altogether snch an outlandish paraphernalia ol compulsory out fit that one truly stands appalled by a sublimity of extortion before the city's gates are passed. Fortunately I was an observer oi, rather than a victim to, this manner of plucking. I had lived at a little Cicilian lodging house in Algiers. Its landlord, halt Moor and halt Italian, had a Sicilian cousin at Catania, who also kent an al. rberghetto or small lodging house in the (iambayita quarter. ASCENDING THE VOLCANO. He was thin as a stick of maccaroni, brown as a piece of lava, tender as a Sicilian fig, and his name was Balbino. He had been a guide's attendant; then a guide; had saved so many Napoleons as would purchase his tiny alberghetto; and, having arrived at ease and competence, could now and then indulge a Kinuiy impulse, or enjoy an unjelhsh act. We were good friends at once. Constant talk about Etna and his adored Sicily brought the old mountaineer spirit back to Balbino; and shortly, not as a service but a delight, he became my guide for the ascent of the volcano. We set out on foot, encumbered by no im pedimenta whatever. Flung over Balbino's shoulder was an ancient hide double pouch, similar to our old-time saddle-bags. Tbese were filled with oranges, with which, as we sat and rested by the way, we refreshed our selves. Balbino was like a chattering schoolboy, and his tales of eruptions, lava floods and loss of life and property, were ap palling. The land mart's of his simple old memory flamed along reaches of liquid fire. The present, the languor and ecstacy of the budding year, the sea ot flowers zoning old Etna's base, the maze of vineyards and olive groves on every hand, the cascades leaping from the mountainsides and bound ing melodiously to the sea, as Acis once leaped, changed into a stream, from the same spot to sport in the Ionian waters with his mermaid-love, Galatea, and the match less threnodies ot Sicilian birds from every covert, copse and grove, he neither saw nor heard. Etna irsaid to have three climatic zones, the torrid, the temperate and the frigid. The tropic land lies at its extreme base. The Sicilians call this the Piedimontana. It reaches almost to Nicoiosi, where after vagarous loitering we arrived toward even ing. For about eight miles further stretches Ii Bosco, the wooded region, forming the temperate zone. From the upper edge of tins to tne crest oi tne cone lies eternal soli tude in the irigid zone. This they term Discoperta. the uncovered; Netta, the bar rens; and Diserta, the desert. In the little white mountain village of Nicoiosi, Balbino took; me to the house of his Iriends. Some of tbe family were goat herders around the bases of the lesser craters on Etna's side; one was the village musician, a ne'er-do-well who piped at mountain wed dings and festivities; and three were stal wart guides who contemplated Balbino's strange freak of permitting any straniero to escape plucking with mournful and depreca tory faces. A DANGEROUS JOURNEY. In tbe morning necessary provisions for the ascent were secured. These were inter esting to me, for they were only those which an old guide would provide for actual needs. Each were given an extra woolen waistcoat. These would be needed higher up. Two pewter canteens, each of which held three pints, one filled with wine and the other with water, were ordered. Each ot us carried a tremendous woolen blanket twisted, hung from one shoulder, the ends tied with thongs of kid-skin. A little belt full of tiny pouches was tied around Belbino's waist. xn one was stowed a package ot resinous kindlers. Another held a goodly measure of ground coJee. In another were pepper and salt And in two of the front Douches, carefully wrapped, reposed a half dozen fresh eggs. Over my own shoulder hung a pouch filled with a generous allowance of fresh bread and cold broiled fowl. "Packages of cigars and plenty of matches in metal cases completed our outfit We parsed out under the Red Mountains, and straggled along tbe entire day through the Bosco, a wooded region. Occasionally we would reach an opening from which the grandest scenes were visible; but for nearly the entire distance the way is hut an inse cure bridle-path beneath stupendous oaks and chestnuts, along the shadowy bases of mountainous rocks of lava, or "above the ciges of dark and yawning chasms. We tarried with some picturesque charcoal burners for an hour in the aiternoon; and just at dusk came upon the high, desolate lava plateau where stands the only shelter of upper Etna, the indescribably dreary Casa degli Iuglesi. It is simply a hut of lava blocks, built in 1811 by English officers, and now a miserable ruin. We found one 'room ot this inhabitable, and after warm ing at a little hre and partaking ot some cold food and wine, wrapped our great blankets about us and disposed ourselves upon the rude benches for a long and glorious sleap in the keen and biting air.

"I cannot tell you the exact cause of my trouble, but it dates back over six years, and during that time, I have scarcely known a well day. I tried various physicians, and countless remedies, spending a great deal of money, but could obtain no relief, until I placed mvself under the care of Drs. Cope land and Blair." The speaker was Mr. C. C. Weinkauf, the proprietor or a large provision market at 229 Frankstown avenue, a short distance from the Pennsylvania Railroad depot at East Lihertvrn"ud widely known throughout all the East Eud district. Mr. Weinkauf, tl9 Franksloum Avenue. "As I said." continued Mr. Weinkauf, "I was never well for six years. Sly head and nose were constantly stopped up. My eyes were weak and watery. There were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. I bad a dull, heavy pain in my forehead. I could feel the muens dropping back into my throat My throat be came raw and inflamed. I was constantly hawking and raising. A dry, backing cough set in. Sharp pains would shoot tbrongh my chest extending as far as the shoulder blades. My heart wonld palpitate rapidly. This wonld bo followed by a slow, irregular beating ana a feeling of dizziness. My nights be. ame rest less. My throat would till up and my breath ing was labored and difficult I would arise in the morning more tired than when I went to bed. I had no appetite and had a nauseating sensation In my stomach after eating. There was a heavy feeling in my chest as ot a weight pressing down. I was reduced in weight, and became weaker and weaker every dav, until 1 was scarcely able to do my work. I was more like a dead than a Irvine person." "How do you feel now?" "As well as 1 ever did in my life, and owe It all to tbe skillful treatment received from Dr. Copeland, under whose personal care I have been. Every symptom I mentioned has disap peared. I am gaining In weight eat and sleep well, and can do a good day's work. It Is sur prising that so many persons will waste time and money with other doctors and obtain no relief, when they can be treated and cured by this eminent specialist at a fee even lower than tbe prices of patent medicines. I am glad to make this statement and shall be pleased to verify It at any time." Mr. Weinkauf can be seen at the above ad dress, and this statement easily verified. HOME TREATMENT. Jacob Altmeyer. of Kisher, opposite McKees port Pa., states: "X commenced treatment for my catarrhal trouble with Drs. Copeland & Blair on June 29, 18S9. I now feel like a differ ent man, and shall be pleased to state my case and recommend their treatment to anyone ad dressed." Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman. Pa., was afflicted with catarrh, and bad lost all sense, or taste and smell. He was under the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair, and now states: "1 am perfectly well, and owe my recovery to their treatment" Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hnlton. Pa., has this to say of his successful treatment for catarrh with Drs. Copeland & Blair: "I was. tn very bad shape, but now feel like a different befng, and as well as I ever did in my life." DOCTORS CfPEUltt!
