Through gorgeous woodlands dark and deaf.

When lite lies allaswoon.
Far sweeter than the song of bird,
In summer's scented shadows heard,

Under the autumn moon !
Dnder the autumn moon
Mysterious voices croon

Among old scenes fond memory strays

She was angry, flashed and fright;
ened, as was a small stumpy girl, evi

her. Sho clasped her gloved handq
imploringly, and looked at me with,
tears in her eyes.
"My dog I" she panted. "My dog,

Then she ran through the bracken,
and I ran after her, to the spot wherS
five little East End roughs, and a vil
lainous mongrel, with one ear bitten
through, were wreaking vengeance
npon a white bull terrier.
My six feet of authority, armed with
a stout stick, speedily dispersed tha
dog's assailants. They retreated iq
confusion, employing language sd
bod as to be fortunately unintelligible
to my damsel in distress, who was by
this time kneeling beside hor precious
dog, hugging him effusively, and try
to wipe away the blood from an in
lured lep.
' The dog really had been a good deal
knocked about, although I have no.
doubt he richly deserved it ; he nowj
feeling himself an object of sympa
luetic interest, sat down and refused
t move any fnrther.
I knew something about dogs and
speedily bound up his paw with my
own handkerchief and that of his mis
trese, which was simply marked
Ella.-
Our faces were very close together
over the dog's leg, and one of her tears
rplashad on to the back of my hand.
Ella blushed, laughed and apologized.
I never aaw a lovelier blush or heard
sweeter laugh in my life.
Seeing that the beast was resolved
sot to walk. I carried him. ' He was
a tremendous weight and fldgetted
abominably. "' But with Ella beside me,
and her sweet, white hand, from which
she had withdrawn the glove, con
stantly stroking tbe brute's seek, 1
trod on enchanted ground. The maid
brought up tho rear, giggling a good
deal, but as sh' constantly dragged be
hind to stare uC soldiers, her presence
did not in any way hamper us.
The accident took place near the
White Lodge, and wo had to pass out
by the Star and Garter gates. Long
before wo reached them I was madly in
love with Ella, and had already in
formed her that this was the happiest
hour of my life, when to my dismay I
laarnod that she was Miss ' Ella Barr

that she was nineteen, and that she loved

She asked me to come in; papa

A Nataral Flying Machine.
There is a tree growing on the
sampus at the University of Bochester
that produces a natural flying ma
chine." said a citizen to-day. "I
shanced to be passing it yesterday and
fcjy attention was attracted by what
seemed at first to be a grasshopper
and a spider in conflict in the air. I
watched the object, saw it rise and
fall and rise aeain and finally settle in
the grass. Curiosity led mo to follow
and examine it, and instead of finding
either a grasshopper, spider or any
living thing, I was astonished to dis
cover the most perfect natural, but in
animate flying machine I ever saw. It
was a leaf oblong in outline about
three inches in length and half an inch
in width. From a point at its center
film two inches long hung down,
carrying at its lower extremity a
ennnter-weieht or pendulum. that
erved to keep the plane of the leaf in
the right relation to the air for travel
ing. - The leaf was bent at surh an
sngle as you will find in the boome
rang, and the whole formed a flying
machine which worked perfectly, for
when I threw it in the air it began to
whirl and actually sailed away on the
breere, rising until it went out of
light. When it had disappeared I was
orry for letting it go, but at once
made a sketch of it, not knowing that
there were innumerable specimens of
the curiosity close at hand. While I
was lamenting the loss of my toy I
looked at the ground and found sev
eral imperfect copies of the one that
had flown. Then it dawned npon me
thai the formation was a device of
nature to spread the seed of tbe tree
tnd that the bulb at the extremity of
the film waa the seed of the tree,
which I suppose is well known to ar
boriculturists. I observed that tlie
specimens found near the tree were
not as symmetrical as the one that first
drew my attention and finally left me
so unceremoniously. The latter went
away with the ease of a bird and may
be flying still. It worked so well that
some ingenious person might find in
its lines the elements of a dovice that
could be made artificially and perhaps
assist in solving the problem of a fly
ing machine. "Rochester (N. Y.) Post

"How d'yr said he.
"Is your day's work doner said I.
"Yes, an I'm glad uv it" said he.
"Don't like If said I.
"Only sorter," said he.
"Are they so hard to teach as that?"
aid I.
"Some uv 'em," said he.
"Are they small scholars?" said I.
"Mostly, except one; she's about 20,"
ald he.
"I should think she would be easy tc

He looked at me with a Quick uncer

"You know anything about gals, mls

"I know they are the loveliest things

"I've beard that afore," said he, lugu
brtously.
"Ion't you believe It?" said L
"I ain't sayln'," said he.
"You don't mean to tell me that this

"That's what" said he, with more
energy than he had before displayed.
"Can't she learn?" said I.
"She don't seem to," said he.
"Why not?" said I.
This time he shook himself and spoke
with emphasis.
"Dog my cats, ef I know," said he
'I've been tryln' fer the last three
months to leaxn her that I wuz the fel

more I try the less she learns. I've got

don't git her learnt by that time I'm
goln' to throw up my Job an hire out

It began to dawn upon me that possi

How to Make a Mirror.
A simplified process for sllverm
.lass Is described in the Journal de l'hy
ilque. Take 100 parts by volume of a
ten per cent solution of nitrate of sil
ver, ana aaa, arop Dy arop, a quanuiy
Ju8t-8nmcIenV
to dissolve
ver, and add, drop by drop, a quantity
the precipitate formed, avoiding any
excess of ammonia. Make up the vol
ume of tbe solution to ten times the
solution is diluted to a one per cent
solution. Tbe glass to be silvered Is
polished with chamois leather, and the
bath Is made up Immediately before
ose by mixing two parts by volume of
the silver solution with one of formalde
hyde. The solution must be poured
right over the surface without stop
ping. After about five or ten minutes,
at a temperature between 15 and 10 de
grees C, all the sliver in the solution Is
deposited on the glass In a bright layer,
which is then washed In running water.
It Is then varnished If the glass side Is
to be used, or polished If the free sur
faco is required for reflection.

Many diffident persons find tbe bcgln
i!ng of a conversation awkward, espe
cially on ceremonious occasions and
with strangers. Sometimes, however,
tho beginning is not half so awkward
xs what comes afterward.
According to a story la Punch, a
jashful young man said to a lady at a
3li.:i r party:
"I've got to take you In to dinner,
diss Travers, and I'm rather afraid of
on, you know. Mrs. Jollbols tells mo
rou're very clever."
The young lady was naturally amused
iy this display of simplicity.
"How absurd 1" she exclaimed. "I'm
sot a bit clever."
Tho man heaved a sigh of relief, and
answered:
"Well, do you know, I thought ytfr.
weren't"
He Knew Him.
Washington, hearing that the colored
xsntlnels could not be trusted, went out
one night to ascertain if the report was
correct. The countersign was "Cam
bridge," and the general, disguised, as
he thought, by a large overcoat, ap-
pro ached a colored sentry.
"Who goes tnere r cried the sentinel.
"A friend," replied Washington.
"Friend, advance unarmed and glv

Washington came np and said, "Rox

"N'o, Bah," was tbe response.
"Medford." said Washington.
"No, Bah," returned the colored sot

The Saltan of JrfhOre.
A little party of Americans have
paid a visit to the Sultan of Johore,
and one of their number has given an
account of their expedition from
Singapore, which presents some pict
uresque details. The hospitable
Sultan 6ent out his State barge,
manned with Malays In canary-colored
suits, to meet them, and at the
landing pier they were received by
the Illustrious Secretary of the
Sultan," whose title and name are
'Dato (Lord) Abdull Rahman."
He is a Commander of the English
Order of Saint George and Saint
Michael, and is stated to speak Malay,
Chloese, English, French, and Ger
man with equal fluency. The Sultan,
who is said to have inherited tho
other day from the late Sultana "a
million and a half of this world's
roods." appears from this narrative
to be a prosperous person. The hall,
approached by a marble reception in
which the company were entertained
at a ban iuet, is described as 150 fect
in length.
Every article of the service for
seventy persons and sixteen courses
was of go!d, and one course was served
on "the celebrated EUenborouirh
plate." At the table tho Sultan re
marked, "We are all temperance folk In this
Mohammedan country. See, all 7
drink Is pineapple Juice."
His guests gazed about the table
. and fouud that the foreigners were
tbe only persons who w re drinking
I wines provided for them. It is a
: noteworthy fact that the subjects of
this Malay Sultan, of the Sultan
: State, are principally Chinese. They
are, it 13 stated, allowed to come to
Johore and settle on the best pieces

A Miracle Woried In the Rural Baeesaes
of Borodino Creates a Sensation. i
(Front the Eoeninj Jites, Syracuse, If. T.)
Albert Applobee was a very sick mia. 113
flad been ailing for months an 1 had been
Bompelled to remain horn 3, unable to attenl
to his business. His trionds stood or sat
about the few small stores in the village of (
Borodino and dlscoasod his sal eondftion. :
Applebeo was a carponder, and a good one
too, bat since his strange malady overtook ,
him he had not shown any dlspotton to do
any work. Life had lost its charms for him, ,
he became a misanthrope and lost In every- ,
thing. His frionds advLsnd him an 1 tho lo-
eal doctors triod tholr skill on him but it wm .
of no avail. Although they no doubt dia?-
nosod his case correctly, ho grow wor
tespite their efforts.
But ho recovered and it has made suca a
stir In the small town that a News reporter
was sont out to Borodino to investigate. II i
drove over and found Mr. Appl-bo hard at
work on tho rojf of i hoii! li was building.
"Well, it was just this way," bogna ts
arpenter, who Is a good-looking man of
about fifty summers. "In the fall of 1833 I
had a siege of rrip. It was a protty rou?h
time for me as I was vory stole and I nover

but was loft with an ailment which was quite
as dnngnrous and infinitely more painful. I
had scrofula in mv head for two years and a

charKe from my right ear. I took about
evory medicine known to the medical fnitor
nitv out could gut no bnnollr,
"I was also trouhlivl with a sevnre pain in
the stomach and indlgwtlon. which made mo
feel that life was not worth living. Last fall
I bngan taking a medicine known as Dr.
William' Pink Pills for Pale Puople, which
were recommended by a friend whoso wifo

papers. But I gave It a trial and was sur

I was cured. My ear has discontinued dis

Several of Mr. Applobee's neighbors were
jeen by the reKrter and tbey In turn ex

Pink Pills after s.lng the wonderful change
they bad wrought on him. One said thecure

Mexico keeps a wary eye on the af
fairs of men, public and private. The
motives of every public man in Mexico
are not only perfectly well known to
the Government, but every visitor la
subject to scrutiny. It was President
Diaz who first established the chnin of
secrecy that now holds all the people
In Its links. Every now and then one
will be surprised to see a body of Mcx-U.-an
roops hurried off tn some remote
pluutf '. a lur-oll' feiuic. None will
know the reason, but the fact will soon
become known that the Government
has prevented an embryo revolution
from gaining strength and force. A
considerable number of Americans re
siding in Mexico do so because the law
will make It unpleasant for them Id
their native places. The Mexican se
cret service has the private record of
each of these, and If any of theru show
too much activity In Mexican affairs
there Is an arrest; the United Stntef
authorities are notified, and extradltior

MR. GUERIN'S BEARD.
It Besesoblea that of tbe Prince of
Walea Too Closely to Be Popular.
It Is said at the city hall that Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Guerin Is
about to advertise for proposals for.
cutting his beard and keeping his mus
ache in order. The Idea was uncon
sciously given Mr. Guerin by Mr. Ilu
bens. The latter visited Europe some
few months ago, and while there took
note of various things. "You may havo
noticed In Emperor William's pic
tures," remarked Mr. Rubens to a par
ty of friends, Mr. Guerin being of the
number, "that his mustache is yearly
becoming of a more decided and pro
nounced character. The ends are like
a bunch of wires. As his mustache
becomes more characteristic William
becomes more decided. When h
grows a 'schnurrbarf liko BIsmarck'i
Germany won't hold him."
"What does he do to stiffen his mus
tachel" Inquired Mr. Guerin, In nn os
tenaibly careless way.
"Every morning he Is visited by a
'barber who curls and combs It and
waxes It and massages and manicures
It," replied Mr. Rubens. "There ia
nothing too good for the Emperor's
mustache, for he has a kind of Sam
sonlan superstition about it He feels
that his reputation as a war lord de
pends npon It"
Mr. Guerin Is himself In training foi
the job of war lord himself in his
ward, and is doing well. Borne dissat
isfaction has been expressed, and even
revolt threatened, on the part ot the
Wolfe Tone Club on account of Mr.

4lS CURB IS KING;
A Singular Discovery.
' James Smithers, an English resident
otHaliburton, Ontario, while out hunt
ing with a party of visitors from the
old country recently, met with a Sin
gular adventure, which also led , to as
singular a discovery. A band of moose,
the first seen this far south for many
years, had been driven down by the
scouts of the expedition, and it was
while in full chase of these that the
others swept on, leaving Smithers to
follow.
Wishing to overtake them as soon as
possible he took a short cut across the
country, and was astonished all at once
to find himself sinking. He fell about
six feet, but owing to the descent ol
the loose earth with him sustained no
injury. He was amazed to find the
bottom of the pit composed of solid
ico of a brackish taste and evidently of
untold age. Walking about tho pit
Bmithers made out an object protrud
ing from the icy foundation, and with
his short hunting axe cut away the
surrounding material until he saw that
f.he object was a human hand holding
U spear.
. Fnrther excavation revealed the en
tire figure of a man dead in fur gar
jnents and perfectly preserved by his
rold bed. Near at hand were also the
(emains of the deer, which the hunter
tad doubtlessly lost his life in pursu
ing to this treacherous spot. The
frozen man was an Indian of noble
I mild and wore a chief's amnlet about
!iis neck. That he died by cold was to
e plainly seen by his expression,
fvhich was tho placid on of persons
Who die thus.
The skin of his face and hands were
flrawn and like parchment, but that
protected by his clothing was firm and
natural, as if death had come within
the air. When found by his friends
(Smithers was trying to reinter the
corpse in order to preserve it, but the
sction of the air had already begun
and the body soon wasted away in rapid
dissolution. It is impossible to say
how long it had lain buried in tbe
natural ice honss perhaps before
Henry Hudson sailed the bay to the
East ; perhaps when Christianity was
dawning on earth or the pyramids in
course of construction.
