As it Frilrttil piitilii-r, Mny III, nJ, I was otio of tlni-(- who foii-rlit ii'jainst tin- fnrii iM) of ( Scn ral .IhIiikIoii, at thi liin roiiniiiiiiiliT of tint CuifiMl-rrnti- iirmy, lit Fiiir l)al.

When 1 saw him Mainline thero I mis took him for a livo tnnn, esiM-cially nil he m-t-iiieil to mo intent only on rating his flapjack, lint t!n illusion was dis pelled when touching him, hecausw ns an officer I wnnted him to join lux com rades. My own personal experience in the matter confirms the physicians' also. The HDtli of April, 1H0, ii tiro was ruff ing in my factory in San 'rum-isro. By omo means i was about 1."ii feet from the main entrance in tho burnlnx build ing when, to my dismay, I beheld the five, story wall topple over nn through a skylight. Passively I lowered my head, thinking only of my ruining death nml wishing it would be swift. In less than a second thousands of bricks fell on me couiiiliug liko a big drumstick heating on a big bass drum. I remember a crash, then nothing, but when I came to my senses I was wedged in between heavy timbers, the tipper part of my body only being free. About a dozen steps bark of me was a Btranger to mo who bad not received a (cratch, but ascertaining that my leg was broken, and also my utter inability to save myself, he crawled over to me and attempted to pull mo out of my ter rible situation. Hut all his efforts only increased my Buffering, ami as 1 Raw the flames come up I entreated him to leave me to my fate and try to Rave himself. . Finally he crawled away, promising, however, to return with help ami axes. 1 must have lieen bewildered, for no act of my past life came to my memory, but suddenly thinking of my small, mother less children 1 shouted for help, whis tling at intervals through my lingers. Some firemen must have heard, for presently there were several streams of water poured on me. 1 then realized my danger, yet I, who had never gone into a battle without a pang, felt none Whatever while in that deathtrap. The water and smoke combined must have asphyxiated tne, for when my Btranger returned leading a brave party of lire men and policemen I laid as one dead. Believing me dead, ami being in a very dangerous position, they cut away part of the limbers and rudely but safely passed me over tho debris in the street. A deafening shout from an immense throng which had witnessed the gallant rescue, streaniB of cold water ami fresh air revived me, and 1 begged of them to be careful with my limbs, which were dangling from my body. After many weeks of suffering the physicians decided to break my leg again, but being unable to do it well while I had my senses they decided to chloroform me. Doing subject to heart disease 1 objected, but the matter being urgent I finally consented to take the anaesthetic. Fully convinced, however, that I should die under its influence, but knowing that either way I would huve to die, 1 agreed to take the only chance of life I hud and laid myself resignedly on my back: yet, although convinced that my last hour had come, 1 had not the slightest recollection of my former deeds. As 1 heard the physicians' whis pers gradually lost in the distance 1 wits only wondering what would como next. 1 recovered, however: but, breaking my leg a third time on account of some adhesions in my knee, it was decided that 1 should undergo another operation, which necessitated the use of anesthet ics again. This time the physicians thought 1 was a goner sure, for it took them neurly two hours to revive me; yet, although certain of my last hour, 1 conld not recall my past life, and in neither case did 1 fear death when I had qnurely to face it. In each instance the passing away was painless, while in. the fire suffocation came almost unconsciously, while al most the same sensation came in the other cases. In the case of the soldier at Fair Oaks (Seven Pines) a certain time most have elapsed between his decease and my notice of him, yet heaven or hades did not seem to bother him; hi flapjack seemed to be what be wanted his eyes were on it and his mouth was open ready to receive it. In my own ease 1 could claim to have died three tames withiu a year, yet 1 do not think I had any other but a sensation of rest. Dr. Epworth, in his assertion also that either a look of horror or beatitude overspreads a deceased person's face, seems to forget that the Scriptures teach as that the soul leaves our terrestrial envelope at once on dissolution; hence the body cannot show what reception the soul had on the other side of the Styx. An Interested Reader in New York Press. Loula Philippe and th Queen, Louis PbUippe and Queen Victoria were once alking in the garden at Eu, when be off red her a peach. The queen seemed ruth-r embarrassed how to skin it, when L uis Philippe took a large ciaflpkuifo from his packet.

"TIow do yon pronounce the nam of the island kingdom which wants to be annexed to the United Ptates?" is a ques tion frequently propounded nnd various ly Bnswered nowndnys. The most com monly accepted pronunciation, and the one authorized by Lippincott's, Worces ter's, Webster's and the (Century dic tionaries, is, for the name of tho princi pal island of tho group, "Ilnh-wi-e," the second syllable accented, nnd tho 'i' protiouuci d us in "pine." Tin- :..im" i m . tion was once asked of a high c.-s i a wniian lady, well educated in hi rov. -i and the English Imigtmgi'. f'lio answered: "The proper pronunciation ' Hah-Vnh-e-e. There Is no -w' In our nlplia bet, nnd no letter nor combination of letters which tako the sound of -v' ns in English. The missionaries who lirt translated our language found it 1 1 .1 rnlt to pronounce or express the sound which is, to my ear, correctly conveyed by tho letter "v," softened nml made full. Our 'a' is pronounced broad, its you pnv notinco it in 'fall,' and our 'i' is liko the English -e." Tho rule is to pronounce every vowel, ami ns the exception to the rnlo does not affect the double -i' in Ha waii, you will see that the word is llali-vah-e-e." " The insistence upon the"v" instead of tho "w" sound is considered, even by somo of the well educated and all of the uned ucated, as something of an affectation, ami one hears llah-vah-e-e" on the islands, inst-ad of "Hah-wah-e," about ns often as "valise" instead of "vase" in American society. New York Sun. A ! Tralm-il to Ntral. Frederick Hampton. 4.", described as a fishmonger of London rond. Croydon, was charged before Air. Hiron at the Lambeth police court with stealing and receiving n lady's silk umbrella, value 7s. Od., the property of Louisa Squires. Tho evidence already given showed that on Saturday tho prosecutrix was walking along Kennington Park road with an umbrella in her hand. Slio saw a trap coming along and a dog running behind. The dog came toward her, took hold of her umbrella and shook it, and she let go. Tho dog t'.ien ran oft with the um brella in the samo direction ns tho trap. The prisoner, who wns driving, wns afterwnrd arrested, nnd upon searching he trap the policeman found seven um brellas, including the one identified by Miss Squires. A second case was gone into.

The wit ness wns enrrying a sunshade. A dofc suddenly rnn up to her, snatched her sunshade and rnn after the trap, in which thero were two persons. That morning she saw the sunshade at this court. London Graphic. treslny For Shoes. How difficult it is in winter to keep one's feet even presentnblo in appear ance! Sidewalks nre sloppy, crosswalks are muddy, and tho air is so cold that it hnrdens shoe leather until it is no unusual thing for it to crack and become sorry to look upon. Nothing can be done actu ally to prevent the senson from telling upon the wearing qualities of shoes, but a great deal chu bedono to prevent them from becoming so badly injured ns they might otherwise be. When shoes have become very muddy, tho worst of tho mud should be knocked off with a thin strip of hard wood, which should be kept for the purpose. A very stiff brush will then take off the rest of the dirt. Now, apply a dressing made by mixing 2 drams of spermaceti oil, pint of vinegar, 8 ounces of treaclo and 4 ounces of finely powdered ivory black. The vinegar should be added last. This will make the shoes look almost as well as they did before their rough treatment. Now York World. Improving; the llallot. The Australian ballot system, while a good reform in the main, has several features which need amending before it can be accepted as an almost perfect and honest mode of vot ing. As it now stands, thousands of voters have been disfran chised by the misapprehension of not be ing allowed to stamp opposite a candi date's name after having once stamped the party emblem. Let there be but ono way of voting, by stamping the square by the side of each person that you wish to vote for. A voter onco instructed to stamp the square to the left of each per son that he wished to voto for will not only not confuse, but actually expedite voting. Another feature of the law which should be changed is tho ease with which a partisan board can throw out ballots as defective. As protection in the right of voting is secrecy, so should the ballot be protected after it is cast, so long as the intent of the voter can be as certained. Noblesville Ledger.
