TWICE WOUNDED.
IT was during the summer of
thnt I reslipd for a time In the City
of Mexico, and at this period occur
red the Incident which, with regard to
mrs&lf, came near terminating fatally.
A i.ir or two after my arrival in
Meii'-o I strolled out one evpning and,
half unconsciously, took my way to
ward one of those cool, shady walks
occ.iaionr.Ily to be met with on the ont
sklrrs of the city.
As I paTil slowly on toward a part
of the walk where the trees grew clos
er, forming a little grove, I suddenly
bva:ue cotsclous of the presence of
two persor.s a few steps in advance of
me.
The persons I h::d Just discovered
were a gt-nrleman and lady. On observ
ing this fact I was relieved of a mo
mentary fear of being set upon by
dKpradocs; I presently found my
couple to be a pair of lovers, "enjoying
a srolen Intprrte-w in the little grove,
whi-:h I hr.d nearly reached, but cheek
ed myself in time to prevent a discov
ery Just then, though I did not long
avert It.
The flr'st words I heard were spoken
by the K.'!:!"nian.
"Fly with m? to-night, dearest. 1
entr at; give me the rlht to protect
you from the wiles of Don Pedro. Only
as my wife can 1 save yon from tho
persecutions of him and his cowardly
son."
"I know It, dear Manuel," replied thi
maiden, whose soft, sweet voice quiv
er?d as if In deadly terror. "It was
only this niorninp; I overheard a con
versation which fully apprised me of
the groat power placed la the hands
of my uncle and guardian, Don Prsiro
do Snhlllo. a power over rne which
now he propos -s to share with his
treacherous son. CJarola."
"How?" nbrr.p-ij- inqulried the eav
allor. "Dearest Manuel, my guardian has
triad every means short of personal
violence to inveigle me Into a mar
riage with Garcia. I have heard them
plottiag to secure me at night and car
ry me to a deserted ranch at distance
froni the city and there, by the help
of a vicious priest, nnite me to Gar
cia. "If I marry without Don Pedro'6
consent my esrates revert to him. I
succeeded in escapinjr to-night, and
came here knowing that I should meet
you. who would rescue me from my
peril, but you will take, to your heurt
a doworkss bride, dear Manuel."
"Fi-ar not. Isa-belle," said her lnvei.
"There Is hut one entire to take come
with n; to my k;rd old tutor priest.
Our iuarriag! Khali b performed at
on-e, and ih"n Don Pdio and Garcia
car:n:r nnd.--jt ynu unless they pas
over ay life! bo.ly."
'Illi l" wlil p ,'ied tb lndy. as in my
blundering I broke a dry twig, causing
a slight nisTiitig among the shrubbery.
The nest moment 1 felt myself grasp
ed ti.'h ly by the throat, while a sharp,
stinnc; sousatlon told me that I had
been stabV.eJ. I m.ida an ineffectual
struggle, but son sank Into unconsci
ous ::e?i.
When I awoke to consciousness I was
lying ia a Wd In a luxuriously furnish
ed apartment, while besida me sat a
venerabl ; looking old man in the garb
of a pri' st.
"Where am IT" was my flr3t question,
as I reoriuned facbly toward a pitcher
of water on the stand near by.
Hp pressed a goblot brimming with
the pure, icy riqald to my lips.
The old man's fare inspired nv? with
confidence, and I told him the whole
story.
Ho started and looked at me keenly
as I mentioned the names of the lovers
and Donna Tss belle's unworthy guar
dian. "And. now, holy father, tell me where
I am." I asked tiraln, as I finished my
story.
The old priest looked at me steadily
a few minutes and then asked:
"Can-t thou keep n secret, my - n?
One of importance to these youn,; mv
ers? Thou art now In the house of
Don Manuel tfe Mouza, who, In his
rnshnei-s. nearly slew thee as an emis
sary of Don IVdro de Saltillo. Donna
Isa) olle entreated that sorue one should
look after the lxidy as soon as possi
ble, for she. dreaded lest it should be
dlseovi'ivd iu the grove and her flight
become known before she could make
good her escape.
"I committed thee to tho care of Don.
na .lulla. my dear Manuel's only sister.
Pine" thou has aequltted thyself of all
complicity with I)ou Pedro thy treat
ment shall be that of an lioiioi.:!
guest."
The priest told me of the union and
flight of the lovera, imploring me to
keep secret my adventure In the walk
and grove, as my story might afford
the means wherewith to trace out their
hiding place.
Lute in the day I sank into a pro
found slumber, which lasted until the
next morning. Father Ingatlns soon
came to me, and, after bathing and
dr-sing my wound he was an expert
surgeon lie tol.1 me that Donna Julia
would call on me to ayologize for her
brother's mistake, and to ascertain If
I v.::s carefully nursed.
Dor.ua Julia soon entered, aeeom
panicd by her duenna. I started with
surpriMS and delight as a beautiful girl
of about 17 years entered the room
and greeted me as "Senor Americano"
In the softest and sweetest of tones.
Donna Julia made many apologies
for the brother's almost fatal mistake.

So, as I don't pose as a handsome man,

" "Why, cert, I'd be delighted to oblige

Indian Eyrsigbt.
During the progress of an exploration
in Cv.nUT.1 Brazil, Dr. Hans Meyer paid
pai'-.ieular attention to the senses of
the iLdiaiis. especially their sight. He
noticed, as others before him had done,
that an Indian can see many things
i that a white man cannot; he can fol-
Id-.v the ceurso of a fish In turbulent
i waters and hit it with an arrow; he
; can spy an animal in the thicket that
I to our ryes seem impenetrable: he can
! see In the ground aud the grass, and
I follow tracks of man and animals that
' to us are Invisible. The popular ex
: I 'rination of these phenomena has
hitherto been simply that savages have
sharper senses than we hare. But Dr.
: Carl IlacUe, who Joined Dr. Meyer lu
: the expedition, went deeper Into the
! question. lie examined the eyes of
: some of the Indians, and found, to his
surpriss, that there was hardly any dlf
. ference Lttween their direct powers Of
sight and ours. What so greatly In
creased their keen slghtedness was
their superior practice and familiarity
In aceoLiuiodatlng their vision to dif
ferent distances. Besides this focusing
faciliiy, which is of Immense Import
ance, the Indian has another hardly lesi
: valuable advantage in that he accus
torus himself not to look at a landscape
as a whele. but to give his undivided
attoiKion to a single detail. Ranke also
declares that the shortsightedness so
prevalent iu civilized countries is not
a disease or a falling, but a salutary
adaptation of the eyes to conditions of
life that require constant work at close
-auge.
Won-an mm Measured.
The question has often been askeu,
"What is the correct measurement of
the woman as Idealized in art?" An au
thority upon this matter says: Mea.s
tiriuac the woman's height by the cele
brated Venus de MUo. a perfect wom
an should be 5 feet 5 Inches. A wom
an of 5 feet 5 iueies should be 138
Kmids In weight, or even 140 If she Is
otherwise well formed and in good pro
portion. With extended arms 6he
should measure 5 feet 6 Inches from
tip to tip of middle fingers. That is
exactly the same measurement across
the arms as is found in her height.
Her hand should measure one-tentL
of her height, and her foot one-seventh
of the same. The distance from the
ellmw to the middle of the chost should
be identical with that from the elbow
to her middle finger.

ANECDOTE OF BOOTH.
'.awrance H nt ton Telia How Ha Pell
Under Rlchelten'a Spell.
Booth chanced to be in a particularly
lappy frame of mind and he waa often
cheerful and huppy, tradition to the
contrary notwithstanding. He was
imoking the Inevitable pipe, and he was
arrayed In the costume ox Richelieu,
with his feet upon the table, submit
ting patiently to the manipulations of
his wardrobe man or "dresser." After
a few words of greeting the call boy
knocked at the door and said that Mr.
Booth was wanted at a certain "left
lower entrance." The protagonist
Jumped up qolckly, and asked if 1
would stay where I was and keep his
pipe alight, or go along with him and
see him "lunch the eusa of Rum," quot
ing the words of George L. Fox, who
bad been producing recently a ludic
rously clever burlesque of Booth In the
same part. I followed him to the wings,
and stood by his aide while he waited
for his cue. It was the fourth act of
the drama, 1 remember, and the stage
was set as a garden, nothing of which
was visible from our position bot the
flies and the back of the wings; and
we might have been placed in a great
bare barn, so far as any scenic effect
was apparent. Adrian, Baradaa, and
the conspirators were speaking, and ai
au opposite entrance, waiting for her
cue, was the Julie of the evening. &bt
was a good woman and an excellent
actress, but unfortunately not a person
al favorite with the star, who called my
attention to the bismuth with which
she was covered, and said that if she
got any of it on to his new scarlet cloak
be would pinch her black and blue,
puffing volumes of smake into my face
as be spoke. When the proper time
came he rushed upon the stage, with
a parting Injunction not to let bis pipe
go out; and with the great meerschaum
in my own mouth I saw the heroine of
the play cast herself lato his arms, and
noticed, to my great amusement, that
she did smear the robes of my Lord
Cardinal with the greasy white stuff
he so much disliked. I winked back
at the half-comic, half-angry glance he
shot towards me over Julie's snowy
shoulders. I half expected to hear the
real scream he bad threatened to caue
her to utter. I thought of nothing but
the humorous, absurd side of the situ
ation; I was eager to keep the pipe
going. And Io! he raised his hand
ind spoke those familiar lines: "Around
her form I draw the awful circle of our
solemn church. Place but a foot with
in that hallowed ground, aud on thy
head, yea, though it wear a crown, I'll
launch the curse of Home!" Every
head upon the stage was uncovered,
and I found my own hat In my hand! I
forgot all the tomfoolery we had been
Indulging in; I forgot his pipe, and my
promise regarding It; I forgot that I
had been a habitual theater-goer all
my life; I forgot that I was a Protest
ant heretic, and that it was nothing but
stage play; I forgot everything, except
the fact that I was standing in the
presence of the great, visible head of
the Catholic religion In France, and
that I was ready to drop upon my knees
with the rest of them at his Invocation.

HAS WASHINGTON A GHOST?
(Iytteriona Midnight Pounds ia. tke
Manninn at Mount Vernon.
It was the custom in the family of
George Washington to shut up unused
fur two years a room in which death
had occurred. So, after the death of
!ie first President In tbo stately cham
ber with the great four-poster bed
tvhlcU Is still shown to visitors, MarUja
Washington, with her lonely heart,
bightly climbed the attic stairs to lie
in a low-ceiled, sloping-roofed room
with one window a room Intolerably
bot in the summer, with little or no
means of securing a draught except by
a triangular opening where the lower
corner of the door bad been cut oil
to make room for the passage of the
cat. Martha Washington died before
the two-year period had ended.
If she had occupied the death oham
ber would she have seen the ghost of
her dead husband? They say that the
italwart, stately figure of the brave
general stalks through the passage
with martial tread and clank of astral
sword In spectral scabbard.
It is a good ghost No one fears It
Perhaps there are not many who real
ly believe in Its existence, but of the
few are those who know most about
the old bouse. Again and again it has
happened that people detained at
Mount Vernon on the business of the
Mount Vernon Association have de
clared, on "waking from a sleepless
night," that they bad heard the ghost's
iword and stride and seen its tall, com
manding figure, dressed In the old uni
form that jn life it wore.
No lights are permitted la the old
Souse, for fear of Are, except during

BATTLE OF PIVtR AND SHARK.
Coaabat of tke tea Reeultlna a Dead
Fink and Bruised Man.
Andrew Cameron, a solid Scotch lad
with red face and red hair, reached port
the other day on the Ward line ateamei
Yucatan from Vera Cruz, Mexico,
bringing with him the story of a fish'
with a shark, says the New York Sun.
Cameron to a dep water diver, and
says he baa gone to greater depths than
say other diver la the business. His
story is corroborated by J. W. Field,
an engineer la the service of Pearson
4 Boa, the contractors, who are re
building the basin where Cameron was
employed.
Tbsee i"""1 ago Cameron was sent
to Vera Cms to work In the basin, built
oat from the mala entrance to the port
He hadthroe men to assist him, one
nf ThVmaT Mexican named King. The
men worked on a float, with a ladder
running down from It into the water.
Cameron was dad in the rexulation suit
of armor worn by deep water divers.
He had been working for two months
and a half wMhent any accident. Dur
ing his freaasnt descents he had dis
cerned as ttanea tke outHnea of dogfish
or yeoaa- sharks, but these never both
ered aba.
At stent 6:80 o'clock aa the morning
of Oct 1 be went eighty feet below
the surface. Besides his tools he bad
a dirk eighteen ruches leng and two
and one-half Baches wide in the belt
ef his rubber salt.
T had located a loose pQe and had
started la to trgntea up the bolts, which
had worked oat," be remarked, "when
I was conscious of something passing
ever me and obscuring the light. I
leaned back, and saw a shark fully ten
feet Ion, apparently about to attack
me. He was moving around not more
than a ffeotr above my helmet. I dropped
the wrench -which I was working with
and snatched out the dirk. I moved
my head to one side, and reaching up
silt the shark's throat twice. He sank
down around my feet, and I tried to
get behind a pile. I pushed myself ns
quickly as I could, but the heavy lead
clogs on my feet would not let me move
as fast as I wanted to. Before I could
draw in my left leg behind' the pile the
shark turned oyer on his back and
made a rush at me. His jaws closed 1
on my left leg, and his teeth went clean
through the quarter-Inch rubber cloth. I
The f roe with which he pushed against j
me confused me so much that I did not '
feel the bite. After this he let go and
floated upward toward my head, with
bis belly exposed. I drove the dirk
Into his belly and I ripped it up to-;
wards hie mouth, cutting his stomach
through. He then floated up to the sur
face. "When I first stabbed him I had sig
naled to King to be hauled to the sur
face, buhe misunderstood my signal,
fortunately. If he had started to haul
me up I feel sure that the shark would
have bitten one or both my legs off, aa
be wenld then have had a clean chance
at them. The holes which his teeth
made tn the rubber cloth let the water
into my suit, and It rose to my chest,
where tt was held by the air pressure.
I signaled to King immediately after
plunging the dirk lato the shark's belly,
but his carcass had reached the top be
fore King got the signal, and guessing
what had occurred he had started to
haul me up in a hurry. When I reach
ed the ladder hanging from the fleet I
was too much exhausted to seize it,
and they had to lift me en the float by
main force.
"My left kaee was dislocated and the
flesh below it lacerated. I remained un
der the surgeon's care for several days,
until the Yucatan arrived. My left leg
Is partly paralyzed."
Cameron eaya he has made the deep
est dive on record, having descended
200 feet Into Loch Craig in Scotland on
April 16 last, to recover the bodies of
an engineer and fireman In a locomotive
that bad fallen into the loch.

The many uses to which Ivory Soap is applicable,
make it an economical as well as a valuable soap. Spots
on clothing are quickly and easily removed by an appli
cation of the foamy lather of Ivory Soap with a dampened
cloth and a brisk rubbing. Ivory Soap cuts the grease
and leaves the surface rubbed perfectly clean. Be sure

the grease spot.

According to the Paris Temps' cor
respondent at Antananarivo, a special
fine net, made entirely of spiders' webs,
Is being manufactnred in the profes
sional school at Antananarivo. The
process la a very simple one. The thread
of several dozen spiders is wound on
winders, the quantity produced by
each spider ranging from fifteen to for
ty yards. The covering of the web Is
removed by repeated washlngsand the
web made Into a thread of eight
strands. When the thread is spun, it is
easily woven into a gauze, which Is
very fine but very strong. It is to be
used for an experimental covering of a
navigable balloon by M. Renard, the
head of the French military balloon
school at Chalals, near Farls, who has
been engaged for many years In ex
perimenting In aerial navigation. It is
believed that the difference In the
weight of an ordinary spider's web will
make a great improvement. Philadel
