MRS. BENT'S TRAVEL8.
r?ha Atfnmnmt II ar Hnn1and In flln Fx-
plnratlons An Ahysslnlan Advantnre.
The woman traveler is becoming ev
ery yonr Ims of n novelty. Recently
Mr. nnd Mrs. Theodora Bent, a pair of
indefatigable English "gloho trotters,"
started for sonth Arabia to continue the
explorations they have been mnking In
various countries. They begnn their
work in 1884 by digging along the
shores of Greece. Tho next year they
went through the 82 Cyclades isles and
carried ft good many objects back to
the British museum. During her first
visit to Greece Mrs. Bent wan unac
quainted with the language, and the
people prononnced her nice, very nice,
bnt ilnmb. Three years later she re-
Visited thein, and, mnch to their sur
prise, conversed flnently. In 1886 they
visited Thnsoe, an Egyptian island, and
the next year nailed along the coast of
Lycia. In 1889, wishing to go still
farther afield, they started f r Bahrein,
on the Persian gulf, thence going across
Persia and over the Caucasus, attended
by o special escort from the shah.
On nil these expeditions Mrs. Bent
"ronghed it" like the rest. A tent was
her only shelter, and she slept in a ham
mock. Tho scarcity of water was the
greatest privation, for in some places
the snpply had to be so coiefally hns
banded that baths were an Impossible
luxury, and even tea whs sometimes
impracticable.
The most dangerous expedition made
by Mr. and Mrs. Bent was to Mashona-
land. They started in January, 1891,
reached the ruins of Zimbabwe in June
and retraced their steps through a path
less country via Beira, reaching Eng
land in January, 1803. They immedi
ately returned to Abyssinia, where the
natives became so fond of them that
they wonld not allow them to leave,
This was an uncomfortable sort of pop-
nlarity, and after tho travelers hixl
been twice defeated in attempts to get
away the situation became decidedly
nnplensant.
Hearing that troops were pouring in
and that there was a prospect of serl
oub fighting, Mr. Bent said that they
must make a strong effort to escape.
Mrs. Bent is an ardent photographer
and whs nt the time engaged in develop
ing some negatives she had made of the
Abyssinian women aronnd her. She
finished her photographs first, and then,
watching for a favoroble opportunity,
tho little party mounted mules, and as
sisted by an Italian officer and 400 sol
diers who hod been sent to rescue them
managed to cBeajie from their devoted
Abyssinian friends.
Mrs. Bent brought away the negatives
Bho had persisted in finishing, and these
snow the costume of an Abyssinian
woman to consist of two garments a
pair of trousers fitting tightly around
the ankles, and a long, loose overdress
lavishly worked round the neck and
down the tapering sleeves, which are
bo tiny at the ends that one can hardly
imagine how a woman's hand could
get throngh the cuffs. New York Bun.
Achilles mnd tha Tortoise.
There is one paradox which upon ita
race appears to be very easy of solu
tion, but which, after careful study.
does not pan out eo well. The story
was first told upon a gentleman named
Achillea, who was rather prominent in
early political times, and who had a
reputation as an all round athletic. He
could run, and run fast at that. One day
ho started to catch a tortoiso, which was
as slow in those days as he is today,
Achilles was some distance behind the
tortoise and set out to capture it Achil
les went twice as fast as the slow old
tortoise and gained constantly, but he
never caught it. No matter what prog
ress Achillea made, the tortoise wont
ahead just half as far. By this time the
-distance between tho two, had they lived
to this day, would have been infinitesi
mal, but yet if Achilles and the tortoise
ran with the proper mathematical pre
cision there would still be an interval
between the twa. St. Louis Globe

TUBERCULOSIS.
Calculated to Cause One-scri-nth of the
Total Unman Mortality.
Dr. Anderson, tho medical officer of
health of Dundee, delivered nn inter
esting address recently, with a view of
quickening public interest on tho im
portant topic of tuberculosis. After re
ferring to tho history of our knowledge
of tho specific germ and of tho manner
of its propagation, ho mentioned the
fact that tnlierculosis had been calcu
lated to cause one-seventh of the total
mortality of the human race. It was
remarkable that, notwithstanding this
important fact, little practical interest
had been taken in tho matter by the
Jtatc, local authorities or Individuals.
An assumed theory of its unavoidable
nature seemed to lie at the root of this
baneful fatalism. Dr. Anderson main
tained that all tubercle bacilli were
derived from predecessors of the some
charaoter, and pointed out the facility
with which this bacillus adhered to
moist surfaces and propagated itself un
der insanitary conditions such as pre
vailed in the overcrowded houses of the
poor.
He also mentioned the opinion, held
by bacteriologists, that the expired
breath of thoso suffering from tho dis
ease was comparatively innocuous, while
their sputum swarmed 1th bncilli and
on evaporation and desiccation was npt
to become a fruitful source of infection.
Hence tho paramount necessity for a
systematic destruction of tho sputum,
disinfection of apartments occupied by
those Buffering from tuberculosis, and
disinfection o." destruction of articles of
clothing likely to retain tho germ.
Referring to tho largo moitulity from
tuberculosa disease, Dr. Anderson men
tioned, as an instance of public apathy
in t lio matter of its prevention, the fact
that very few people applied for disin
fection of material after death from this
cause in comparison with the number
of those who took micli precautions in
the cuso of the various fevers. Passing
to tho subject of the disease in cattle,
he pointed out tho largo mortality
among tlu-so animals from this cause,
and also the relation of milk supply to
iufant mortality from tuberculosis.
Tho proportion of deaths from this
cause in children under 5 years of age
In Dundre was found to be 1 in
11. All tin so facts pointed to the ne
cessity for the householder to safe
guard his own interests. Dr. Anderson
concluded his instructive address by
mentioning in detail tho preventive and
disinfectant measures necessary to se
cure tho highest possible immunity from
the scourge. Lancet.
Mixing tlio Fees,
An amusing incident has just come to
light anent tho recent marriage of a
prominent young railroad man to an
up town bello. As is usual on such oc
casions, the arrangements, including
the financial end of the transaction in
hearts, woro left to tho best man, him
self a well known club man and a
cricketer of local repnto. The story
that is now going tho rounds, and which
is creating considerable merriment,
deals wholly with the part played by
the Utter young man. By some nnao
conntable contretemps the youth in
question delivered to the organist the
magnificent sum of (30, while theBhock
beaded youngster who supplied the
wind for the instrument was gladdened
by the gift 0110.
When itcanio to the clergyman, how
ever, the lavish expenditure previously
niado had so depleted the nuptial funds
that on y $ 3 remained. With unblush
ing effrontery and perfect sang froid
tho best man tendored the two planks
to the dominie, whose feelings can bet
ter bo imagined than doscribod.
Tho orgnnist says the wedding was
tho most brilliant of the season, while
the shock headed boy who supplied the
wind characterizes it as "hot stuff." It
would be interesting to know what the
-clergyman who tied tho knot thinks
bout it. Philadelphia Kccord.
neernlng Pronunciation.
An Englishman who has been visit
ing in Chicago says it is very amusing
to listen to the American ridicule of
Englishmen for pronouncing Cholmon
deloy "Chumley," Heaucharap" Beech
am, " etc. In England, " he declares.
"you will find, as a rule, that people
pronounce .Massachusetts Ma-eatcn-asettes.'
Absurd? Of courso it is, but
bow are yon going to tell? The rule by
.which it is pronounced 'Massachusetts'
is purely arbitrary. The most curious
of all your misprononnciations are per
haps the adopted French names. How
in tie name of the eternal fitness of
things do yon get 'Boo Saint Mary' cut
of Sault Ste. Mario? Terry Hut' for
Torre Haute is just a little worse. It is
unaccountable, too, how yon came to
call Prairie da Chien 'Prairie doo
Sheen. ' Of course you have a right to
arrange your own pronounciution, bat
give us the same liberty. We at least
have tho excuse that our names are 10
or IS centuries old and have hud oppor
tunity to grow naturally corrupted in
the lapse of time." Chicago Standard.

THE HOLY OFFICE.
Function of tha Congrrgntlnn of the In.
qulsltlon In the Kternal city.
There are two different tribunals at
Rome to which is intrusted tho judg
ment of books, pamphlets, articles and
other writings referred to them as linblo
to a chorge of endangering faith mid
morals. One of these is tho congregation
of the holy office or inquisition, and '.ic
other is the congregation of the Index.
The very name of the former of these
will cause a thrill of horror In the minds
of those whose knowledge of the inquisi
tion is derived from the calumnies and
exaggerations that have been heaped
Upon it by its enemies.
It is not my business to defend it in
my present paper. I would only re
mind the reader that it is most unfair
to impute to the Roman inquisition tl.e
cruelty and injustice of the SpjiiImIi tri
bunal, against which the popes again tvi l
again protested. The Spanish inq'ii i
tion is now happily defunct, and the
Roman congregation of tho inquisition
alone survives. It is a permanent com
mittee chosjn from the cardinalitii::i
body and holds its meetings always
within the precincts of the Holy City.
It was instituted In the year 1.112 1
Panl III, by the constitution beginning
with the words, "Licet ub inito," and
had for its chief object to arrest the
progress of the doctrine of Luther.
The congregation of the holy office, t-r
Inquisition, holds tho first pluco nmonj
Roman congregations. Its members iir:.
some dozen cardinals, moro or lees, sc
lected by tho pope on account of their
knowledge of theology and canon la vi
and their skill aud energy in the trans
action of ecclesiastical busiuess. It has
jurisdiction over a field of greater im
portance than any other tribunal what
soever, for it has intrusted to it tho
guardianship of the purity cf faith mil
morals throughout the Christian world.
Alone of all the Roman courts it baa
for its official president the pope him
self, although iu point of fact his muLi
tudinons duties rarely permit of hi :
presence at its meetings, and his pla-.-t- i '
taken by one of the cardinals chosen 1
him, who bus to report to tho holy f
ther the samo evening all that tul:-. j
place during its session.
Besides the cardinal who acts as p:vi
dent, there is a secretary, who is usuall;
the senior cardinal preseut: a commi.-v

BELIEVERS IN WITCHCRAFT.
Realdonts of an Ohio Vlllaga Hold Mr.
Culp Culpahla For Mysterious lulngs.
The residents of Hurt's Corners, a
(arming community 10 miles east of
this city, are agog over the doiugs of a
witch. Several du r.o s ycz.ig farm
er mimed Howard Hughes dug u well
upon a small hill, and when ho had got
to what be believed to bo a sufficient
depth, much to his surprise, no water
appeared, fie cogitated upon tho mat
ter, and being a firm believer iu witches
and hobgoblins concluded that somo
person hud cust a spell upon his land.
Within the limits of this city lives a
Dr. Hoff, an octogenarian, who deals iu
herbs and claims supernatural powers.
To this strange old man Hughes repair
ed and hired him to go down to his
place and locate the trouble. Hoff wont
with him, and building a lire threw
some of his powders into it, and while
the fire burned consulted tha spirits
through a powwow performance. Ha
told Hughes that tha absence of water
In his well was due to a neighbor
aumed Culp, who was a wl-Jrd, with
a poisonous breath aud an evil eye, aud
that the well would remain dry until
he (Culp) was dead. Since tho old
witch doctor revealed this startling in
formation the Hughes and u dozen other
families who believe iu witchcraft fcvavo
ceased nil Intercourse with Culp and
avoid bim as they would tho evil one.
The affair has caused such a stir that
tho matter resolved Itm-lf into u special
meeting held iu tho Methodist church
of the village, to which all tlu au peoplo
belong. The Rev. J. E. Hollister of
this city, the pastor of tho church, pie
sidud aud called upon Hughes aud bis
iollowers to disavow witchcraft nnd
treat Culp ns a brother or leave the
church. This they refused to do. and
a church trial will result.
Last spring Miss Sadie Loop, n mem
ber of the church, was expelled nt a
church trial for asserting that Culp wns

time that the ridiculous superstition
had been stumped out. Alliance (O.)

Artist and Amataar.
A critic, who was recently usked to
define the line between artist and ama
teur, stated that an amateur's sketches
were labored und finished up to invito
favorable criticism, while tho artist's
sketches were broad und unfinished,
suggesting much to himself only.
Could not the dividing lino bo better
defined? Tho amount of time spent on
a sketch often depends upon opportu
nity. When the time is not needed else
where, one quito able to sketch in the
boldest, most rapid style muy prefer to
go ou and produce a picture, trusting
to the inspiration of the present ruther
than of the future, and to vision rather
than memory. If something greater is
to be subsequently developed from the
work, it will be no less suggestive be
cuuxo of its finished character.
It may not be easy to define tho divid
ing line between artist and amateurs,
but it is easy to point out a well recog
nized ono that is identical with it the
ono that is drawn between poets and
mero writers of verse. Art Amateur. '

you standing here in the cold?" "I
B'pects it's 'cause I'ze got too shabby,
sir," said the man. "Do you believe
that horse could carry me to tho capi
tol?" inquired Stanford. "Yes, sir."
"Try it, then," was the response. And, .

finest horses in America jogged along
