It was the volcano of Awu that de.
stroyed hundreds of people in the island
of Great Sangir by one o( its terrific out

tion of Awu in 1711 a largo lake formed
in the crater, and uutivei of the official
class were permitted, once in three or
four months, to visit the crater for the
purposo of testing the water. If the
water were hot onough to cook rice, an
eruption was expected. In 1856 the
waters of the lake began to boil, burst
their bauks and null down the mountain.

LOVE.
Strang are bis moods, and strangers he,
A ehild of divers ways;
lie leads you on through flowery paths.
Through bright and golden days
And guided by hli gentle hand,
And listening to his song,
And gasing In bis lovely eyes,
Yon walk for ever on.
And many pass you by, and they
Stretch out their hands In vain;
Borne go with Death and Botto-v some
Walk hand in hand with Pain;
And some with Bcorn go laughing by,
And tome who weep and moan,
Hut all of them young Love ignores,
And on they pass alone.
And through the pathways where they go
No ray of light appears;
No gleam of sunshine ever come,
The way is wet with tears.
Sad for a moment, too, you grow,
And beg Love take them, too;
He smiles and shakes his golden curls
"They cannot come with you."

PAUL AND M'LfSS.
BT THOMAS P. MONTFORT.
'LISS, hain't I time
an' ergin ferbid
yer bavin' aught
ter do with Paul
Jennings?"
"Yes, pap, yer
hev'."
"Then I want
ter know bow it
comes yer don't
pay no 'tention ter
what I hev' so
often said."
M'liss Hopkins
hung her pretty
head and the
blushes suffused her lovely face and neck,
but instead of answering her father's
question she Blood idly fingering the
strings of her bonnet. Once or twice
she tried to speak, but though she did
not look up the knew that her father's
cold, sharp eyes were gasing steadily at
her, and the words were lost In a trem
bling whisper.
"Why don't yer speak out, M'liss, in
stid o' stand in there as if you'd lost your
tongue? Why is it I see you an' Paul
Jennings tergcthet last night!"
"Pap," and the toft, sweet voice is
scarcely audible, "I can't tee why you
hold anything agiost Paul. No matter
what others have done, I know he hain't
never harmed a hair of yer head, an' he
couldn't be hired to do anything agin'
yer fer the world."
"M'li9, I'm s'prised at yer. Jist ter
think that a child o' miue should stan'
up right in my face an' un'ertake ter hoi'
op fer one o' thern Jenningses, arter all
I've suffered at their han't. It's er hard
thing tor bear, M'liss, er hard thiug to
know that my own child is willin' ter
fergit er pap't wroogt an' take up fer
them as has alters been his enemies. It
was bid ernuff. fer 'em to beat me outen
ther claim arter I'd improved it, but now
fer my child, ther only being in ther
worl' as is likely to keer fer me, ter go
an bol' up fer one of em, is a hundred
timet worse. I never thought afore that
I'd ever live to see ther day when you'd
turn ergin me."
"Pap, you know I hain't turned ergin
you, an' that I wouldn't take up fer no
body, even to Paul hisself, who was er
enemy to you. But Paul hain't done
notliin' fer you to condemn him fer. It
wasn't him that took the claim."
'No, it wasn't him as took ther cluim,
but it wus hit father, an' the Jenningses
air all alike."
"Has Paul ever held up fer his fa'.her
in the matter!"
"I donno as he has an' I don't know
at he hain't, but I know lie's one of ther
family an' that's ernuff."
"Pap, you do Paul wrong. He ain't
nowise ter blame fer what was done years
ergo, an ef you'd set to know hiin you'd
tay he wasn't bad.'1
"I don't want ter know him, an' I
don't want you to hev nothln' more ter
do with im. I said year ergo that me
an' mine 'ud never mix er mingle in any
way with ole Joel Jennings's family; an'
for my ptrt I've ken' to that promise.
an
w jbi vwi uuuiuer wane sue
lived, au' I hoped you would."
"It ain't Christian, pap, ter hold er
grudge to long, nn' ergin ther innocent,
too." .J
"It may not be Christian, M'tiss-jswt
it ain't likely I'll fergit my wrougt while
the Jenningses live on my land an' hev
all ther comforts o' life, an' me an' mine
has ter git erlong ther best we kin on this
poor forty; an' it ain't likely so we'll hev
this long, fer Smith's goin to close ther
mortgage less'n I raise ther money ter
pay int'rust, an' I kaint do thet fer I've
tried high an low. No, it ain't likely
that I'm a goin' ter fergit an' fergive at
tich er time."
M'liss 's face blanched at hearing these
words, for they were the first intimation
she had received of the closing of the
mortgage on the little home. As she
looked at ber father's aged and bent form
and careworn features, and recalled all
the hardships and sufferings he had passed
through, and pictured out in her imagin
ation what tho future would be, she
could not find it in her heart to blame
him for the bitter grudge he held against
Joel Jennings. Hut Paul was so uulike
his father so kiud and geutle, and al
ways mindful of the welfare of others.
She knew that her father bad no right
to blame him. They were both a long
time tileut, then M'lias came aud put her
arms about her father's neck and kissed
him.
"I don't want you to think, pap, that
I'd ever take sides agin you, not even fer
Paul. I've tried fer be faithful to you
all my life, an' I intend to go on to."
"Yes, I know M'liss, what you've been
ter me, anil I know you mean well. But
lorin' Paul as you do, .it's hard to be to
ward me what you've alius been."
"Paul's so good an' kind, an' I do love
him, pap, an' it hurts me to thiuk o'
never hevln' uothin' ter do with 'im no
more."
"You needn't try to persuade me, fer
I've said I never fergive an' I won't. The
little farm'll be sold to pay the mortgage
an' we'll be set out in the world to live
where we kin, an' I reckon Paul won't
keer no more than his pap dots. Let 'em
enjoy what they got frum me by dishon
esty, if they kin, but they'll never h'.v
my friendship."
Daniel Hopkins got up and went out
and a few minutes later rode away to
town to make another effort to raise the
interest money and save bit home.
M'liss watched him as he rode off
down the long lane and ber eyes filled
with tears.
"Poor pap," she taid, "it's hard to
have to give up your home alter all
these years an' become a homeless wan
derer. I don't blame you fer feelin'
bitter an' unforgivin'. But I do wish
you'd be fair toward Paul."
Then laying her arms on the window
casomont she pillowed her bead on them
and gave way to her grief.
"M'liss," spoke a soft voice behind
her.
"Paul," she cried, ard in an instant
she was in his arms, and for one brief
minute all her troubles and torrowt dis
appeared. Then recollecting herself the
drew away from him, and holding up
ber hand to stop him from approaching,
she taid :
"Paul, we must forget the past, an'
never be to each other again what we
have been."
"Do you wish it to, M'liss?"
She looked down at the Boor but did
not reply.
"I know what you mean," Paul went
on, "for I heard what your father taid."
M'liss looked up quickly and a blush
of shnme spread over her face.
"I heard what you said, M'liss, and
it's nothin' to be ashamed of, I'm sure.
You don't know what joy it was to me
to hear you say you loved me."
"But we must net-ir think of such er
thing ergiu, Pai'.i. rap forbids it."
"I know he ierblds it, but ho has no
grounds fer it."
"No, he has nothin' justly ergin you,
it's true, but you know the ole trouble."
The young man frowned and paced
the floor for a minute. Stopping near
M'liss he taid; ,
"I thought enough trouble and sor
row hed come out o' that ole misunder
standing without our lives being weighed
down with it. I wish the whole farm
would be tunk out of tight an' all recol
lections of it be blotted out forever."
"So do I, Paul, but as it can't be to,
there's no use er within'. All we kin do
is ter submit an' bid good-bye to our
happiness,"
"I do not blame yer pap," Paul con
tinued, "ler he it in the right, an' ort
to have the land, as I've told pap many
a time. But he has his way o' lookin'
ut it nn' thinkt he's right, an' nothin' I
kin say or do is goin' ter change him.
I'd be a friend to yer pap of he'd let me,
an' though I couldn't make his wrongs
right, I could let 'im hev money ernuff
ter pay up on the mortgage, but I dasn't
offer it to him."
"No, he'd go out doors fer the bal
ance of hit days before he'd accept of
it."
Then a long silence followed, ia whioh
both appeared to be intently thinking.
Paul was the first to tpeak.
"M'liss, I'm goin' away," be taid.
"Wnere to?" and M'liss't trembling
voice betrayed her anxiety.
"I dunno, yit, but I'm goin' aomo
whe:e. I can't stan' to stay here an' see
you an' never hev the privilege of speak
in' one word no more then if you wus er
stranger. I am goin' away to git my
own start in life, an' tometime we'll be
ha; py yit. That ole trouble's got to die
out sooner or later, an' when it does we
kin bo happy. Wilt you wait fer me till
then, M'liss!"
"Paul, I'll never marry no other man. "
A little later Paul went away and
M'liss was left to live through the long
est and darkest day of her existence.
It wot late in the afternoon when
Daniel Hopkins returned from town, and
M'liss knew by the disappointed, worried
look in bit face, that hit mission had
been unsuccessful. She asked him no
questions, feeling .'that it would only
augment hit torrow.
After tupper be tat down before the
fire and tmoked hit pipe in tilence while
M'liss cleaned away the table, and
brought her work-box and took up her
sewing.
An hour probably passed and then
there came the sound of footsteps out
side, and a moment later the door
opened and Smith entered. Daniel's face
darkened and the tittle remaining cour
age he had brought back with him from
town disappeared.
Smith was very cordial and greeted
hit poor neighbors with an unwonted
friendliness, at which both Daniel and
M'liss were greatly surprised. Tbey
tuked of the weather, of the crops and
ol various items of local newt, and
fiually Daniel said :
"I'm sorry, Smith, but to far I've not
been able to raise that interest money.
I've put in the whole day in town, but
nobody don't seem willin' to let me hev
it."
"Then I've done better than you,"
Smith replied, as a smile ttole over hit
face, "fer I got it 'thout goin' auy where
to try fer it. There's the notes, all of
'em, paid up principal au' interns!. "
Daniel took the note into his hand
aud looked at them intently for a whole
minute. Then rubbing hit eyes he looked
at Smith, but the latter said nothing
"Whit does thit mean?'' Daniel asked
at lust.
"It timply means that the mortgage
is paid off. But at to who done it I
am not at liberty to say, any more than
thet it was a friend of youru."
M'liss bad an idea who that friend
was, but Daniel was far from suspecting
the right person.
Six months passed and though M'liss
never mentioned Paul's name ber father
knew that it was on his account that his
daughter looked forword so anxiously
for the coning of each weekly mail. Yet
! no letter ever came, and finally ditap-
pointment began to tell on the poor girl,
and the father could see that she was
growing thinner and paler every day.
He loved hit child and would have dona
almost anything to make her happy, but
he could not, even for her take, oontont
to become reconciled to any member of
the Jennings family. So be taw her
droop and fade, and while hit heart
ached for her, bit pride and hatred held
him back from doing that which he
knew would bring ber happiuost and
health.
It was late one evening when Joel
Jennings came riding by, and when just
opposite Daniel Hopkins's front gate bit
horse shied and threw him off. Daniel
and M'liss saw him fall, but supposing
he was not hurt they waited for him to
rise. They waited for some time, and as
he did not move they went to him. He
did not breathe, and M'liss brought water
and bathed bis face. All of the hatred
that had rankled in Daniel's heart for
twenty years died out in a second when
he saw the object of it lying helpless at
bis feet, and bis only thought was of
how he could relieve him.
Joel revived a little after a time, and
Daniel and M'liss carried him into the
house.
"Shall we send for a doctor?" Daniel
asked.
"No, it's no use. I'm hurt past any
doctor's help."
"But It 'ud be best to fetch 'im any
how," Daniel persisted, and so M'liss
started off to bring brm.
For some time after she had gone the
two men were silent. Then Joel reached
out hit hand, saying:
"Daniel, the eend't nigh, an' I can't
think o' goin' with that old trouble
'bout ther claim weighin' me down. I
may hev wronged you, an' I'm willin' to
acknowledge I did, enyhow. We've
been miserable fer twenty yean on ac
count of it, an' now we're ruakin' our
children miserable, too. I'm willin' to
mike up and let the children marry an'
have this lan' between 'em. They'll be
er comfort to you an' you'll be happy in
pcein' them happy. Air you willin' ter
fergit an' fergive?"
"Yes," Daniel said, clasping the out
stretched hand, "I am willin' to let ther
past go an' begin over agin. Whoever's
in the wrong, we no right to make the
children's lives as miserable as our own
has been."
When M'liss came back her quick eye
told her what had taken place, aud her
heart bounded with joy.
The doctor gravely shook his head
after making an examination, and said
Joel could not last long. Paul was sent
for at onoe, and arrived in time to seo
his father and become M'liss's husband
before death came to Joel.
The young couple went to live on the
troublesome old claim, and tbey made
of it one of the happiest homes in all the
settlement. Daniel lived long enough
to learn to love Paul as he did M'liss
but he never knew that it was Paul who
paid off the mortgage to Smith. Detroit

Ten Dollar J Llnyj Mai's Life.
At Monte Carlo a few days ago, writes
Henry Hague, I wai witness of the fol
lowing peculiar incident: I was tested
at a table in the cafe of the Parit hotel,
which adjoint the casino, with a group
of tourists, when a haggard and dis
heveled Frenchman entered hurriedly,
called for a glass of absinthe, and seat
ing himself proceeded to write vigorously
on a sheet of note paper in front of him.
My attention was attracted by his ap
pearance and evident nervousness, and
my interest w&t deepened when I taw
him take from his pocket a gold-plated
revolver. He examined the weapon very
carefully, as though he contemplated
using it and wanted to see that it was in
proper order, then hastily put it back in
his pocket and resumed his writing.
By this time the attention of the whole
group had been attracted to the nit.
especially as they saw him remove the re
volver from his pocket and toy with it
nervously. A stout, florid Englishman
sat near me. He leaned over nnd whis
pered to me : "My deah fellah, the chap
means to do away with himself, I ta'.;e
it." Then, before I could reply, he
quickly turned to the Frenchman aud
said : "You wish to tell that weapon,
tir!"
The Frenchman drew back in aston
ishment. He gazed in amaziment at the
Englishman and hesitated as it he had
been insulted. Then there apparently
eusued a revulsion of feeling, for a tmile
overspread his haggard face as he ex
claimed, with a shrug of the shoulders:
"If you wish, sir."
He placed the revolver mechanically
upon tho table and picked up the gold
$10 piece laid down by the Englishman.
Theu he drank his absinthe with seem
ing satisfaction. He brightened up. Hit
entire manner underwent a change. A
few minutes later he walked leisurely out
of the cale and we saw him again enter
the casino. The Englishman and myself
concluded to follow him. We were sur
prised to find on entering that luck was,
evidently with him, for a small pile of
gold and silver lay before him on the
roulette table. We learned later from
one of the attendants that he had won
240.
Tripe Leather.
Leather is now made from tripe, and
a very superior quality of solo leather at
that, which has the additional recom
mendation of being cheap. The follow
ing story is told of its first introduction:
Some year or so ago a tanner employed
in a Cincinnati establishment, requested
to have hit wages raised from $1.50 to
$2 a day. He quit and went to another
tannery asking for employment. He
was told that there wag no vacancy, but
he persisted and said that he could teach
them how to make a new kind ot leathor
that would make their fortunes. They
laughed, but when he explained how
tripe could be turned into leather, they
stopped laughing and employed him at
$5 a day. Now tripe leather it quoted
in the trade journals and brings a good
price. Picay une.

Volcanic ashes often travel a long dis

The Kins of Locomotive.
A new monster locomotive belougiug
to the New York Central Itiiilroad is
considered by the officials of that road
the most powerful locomotive engine in
tho world. The engine is two-fifths
larger than the ordinary locomotive, its
mighty driving wheels being a full
seven feet in diameter; the largest ever
used in regular railway service.
Tire newcomer is called "No. 903,"
and surpasses in every particular its
rival, "No. 870," which has hitherto
drawn the "Empire State Express," tho
fastest train in the world. It weighs,
when ready for work, 100 tons, or forty
tons more than the ordinary locomotive;
measures fourteen feet, 10 inches from
track to top of smoke stack, and has
11,000 horse power, white the ordinary
locomotives has between six and soven
thousand.
The engine was built two years ago,
and was origiually title J with five foot
eight inch wheels, but this last change
has been made in an endeavor to lower
by a half hour the time of the express
in the trip from New York to Albany.
It is now made in two hours aud lorty
flve minutes, and if the change is suc
cessful "No. 903" will run the 143
miles in 135 minutes, and in her "spurts"
will be able to break her predecessor's
record of seventy-eight miles an hour.

THE money lavished on the dec
orations of the dining-rooms
of New York's new swell ho
tels is something remarkable.
Fortunes are expended on some of these
apartments.
The most conspicuous features of the
American dining-room in the Plaza Ho.
tel, on which tho sum of $30,000 was
spent in decorations alone, are the ela
borate panel paintings of an allegorical
character and representing- the "Five
Senses." These paintings, which are
tbe work of George W. M ivnard.of this
city, are exceedingly graceful and beau
tiful in character. The electric lighting

purchased at a cost of 10,000, the
china $15,000 and the silver ware in use
is valued at 35.0t)J. On either side of

at their bases by electric lights. Near
one of the big columns, ornamented
with figured leaves, is tbe painting of a
lovely female figure, over whose low
forehead her brown hair falls in a tou
sled bang and whose lap is filled with
red roses.
The dining room of the Hotel Savoy
was designed by Duncan, the architect
of the Grant Monument; the artist was

Carl Bitter, the prize-winner of the Co
lumbian Exposition. The marble is
jasper aud sienna marble, inlaid with
Irish and Galway marble. The wood
work is of paneled satin wood, inlaid
with mother-of-pearl. There nre at least
450 electric lights concealed in the ceil

to the room a most charming effect.
There are also opalescent globes of seventy-five
candle power distributed in
domes around the room, ami which arc
mounted on bronze figures representing
Atlas holding up the world. In the rear
a fountain of jasper and Mexican onyx
plays. The orchestra is situated on the
mezzanine floor. There also four female
figures are conspicuous, and between
them are flower pots filled with natural
flowers. Frescoes represent delightful
landscapes, and nn the north tide is an
exceedingly beautiful painting of the
"Four Seasons." The total cost of the
decorations iu the dining room are
placed nt $75,000. The chairs are of
white mahogany, hand -carved, and
French plush, and cost f CO apiece. The
tables are also of nn elaborately hand
carved order, and the floor are fashioned
of mosaic tiles in color. Ou all the cut

House of Savoy. The crest in burn
ished gold also appears on the Miuton
china ware. In the restaurant is a tine
painting, representing the twelve months
of tho year. The paneled side walls are
of pink satin, band-painted. On each
table is a canJelbr.i of Parisian design,
with silk shades. The cafe it of antique

in green oak. Tho chairs in this room
cost $50 apiece. The buffet aud the
pineling of the coiling are all of carved
oak, nnd the windows are of stained
glass.
In the new dining-room of tho Hotel
Imperial, which has just beeu finished,
the side walls, nine feet high, are ol
Vienna marble, aud the ceiling is linislio.l
in cream and gold. The style of design
throughout tho room is that ot the
Italian renaissance. The novel electric
features are each f.tshioued of three
Cupids holding a laurel wreath, from
which the lights rotno out. The total
cost of the decorations was $3ft,0UO.
Tbe main dining-room of the Holland
Houso is palatial enough to suit the
taste of the most fastidious prince. It is

and gold, mostly in rococo, and the rest
in the style of Louis XV. it is 1 IS feet

THE JjURNEY OF LIFE.
We are wan !ering hither and thither.
Along through the journey of life,
And we pause in the valley of pleasure
And cllinb the steep mountain of strife;
We are basking betimes in the sunlight.
With hearts and with fares aglow;
But the day become' mute with tli een.
And rtreams have a musical flow, ,
There are lessous to learn while we Journey
De sunny or cloudy the way;
And 'tis oft what we gain in the morning
We lose ere the close of the day ;
Ro the days come and go, and the shadows
Ptill wear the same mantles of gloom;
Yet the joys are as bright tlio' life's dial
Re pointing beyond the fair noon.
O' the days and the years change so little;
The scenes so unvarid iu hue;
Though we question the why and the where
fore. We change not our standpoint of view:
If we'll look from thi mount ot forbearance
Across the fair valley of love,
We will see just before us a pathway.
