As I bumped along sonietliiiiij scattered
nIoii( down with mo, whaiiR ImnKiiiK
down tho steps over mo nnd under me
ami around mo, chasing mo all tho way
down, and when I finally got to tho cel
lar bottom that thing was lying ncross
my chest. It wnB tho coal shovel, which
had evidently been stood up ngaiusn tho
rop'o and which I had jarred loose.
"But tho worst thing of nil was that
my lamp was broke. I h t my jimmy
on tho way down, but I hung on to my
lamp, but now tho litht was ont nnd
tho glass w as broko, miS tho slido was
jammed around in front, nnd I could
not turn It. I felt around till I found
my jimmy, nud then I waited to seo if
I'd woko anybody up. I didn't hear
anybody, nnd so I Bturted ngain, nnd
this time I felt my way up tho stairs
carefully to tho door. I found it unlock
ed, and I had got it open about an inch,
I should think, when I henrd a littlo bit
of a ncraping ou tlio other side, and tho
next instant tho dreadfulost rarkot that
anybody ever heard, tho falling of a
dishpau that must havo been hanging
ou the other nido on tho doorknob or
tho key, and nt tho sanio timo what I
iniagino must havo boon tho potato
masher I don't know, because I didu't
look for it dropped from tho top of the
door upon my head.
"This dii'ir to tho collar opened from
a littlo squuro hall or entry way that
had, ns I learned by fooling, a door to
tho left, to tho kitchen, I Rtippos-'o, nnd
ono to tho right, I guessed, into the
front hall. I waited n;;nin, but no sound
from up Maim, so turned to tho right
and opened that door and stumbled tho
first thins over a chair closo by in the
hall and almost bi oko my shins. I fell
along mid found a row of chairs stand
ing closo together from that door clean
to tho front door. I sat down, in ono ol
thorn nnd nursed my shin nnd waltod.
Still no sound, nud I tried ngain, and
got along all right this timo, and turned
off to tho left and into tho parlor, uii'j
back front, that into tho dining room,
for a wonder without falling over any
thing, and I beguu to fool encouraged.
But in tho dining room there wag noth
ing but plntod spoons and forks, which
of course I could tell by the touch just
as well as though I'd had an electric
light. If they hod any silver, they bad
carried it up Btairs, as some people do
at night
"I turned back into the hall and
groped my way through that row of
chairs to the foot of tho stairs. To mak
sure of the first step in the dark I step
ped high and stepped into a pan of wa
ter on the bottom step. That made m
mod, but I didn't make any noise, and
I stopped out of it and started on tip
At about the third step my log struck ft
string that was strung across these stuira
and set a bell a-riugiug that was hang
ing ou it, and kicking that string start
ed dowu ou mo from above a shower of
pie plutos, and presently I fell over it
wash boiler that had been sot on tho
stairs a step or two up and brought that
down ou me.
"As I was floundering around in this
tinware aud string and bolls and things
I hoard children's voioes op stuirs, and
a minute later I heard steps in tho hull
above, and I could see in the blackness
up thoro the whito of a uightgown at
the head of the stairs. Then something
came sjamming against the banisters,
hitting mo as it rattled down aud final
ly landing with a great bang ou the
floor among tho chairs in the hall. The
minute ho threw it, whoever be was,
be ran, aud I began to think it was
bout time for me to go too. I bad freed
myself from the belloord by this time,
and 1 got down tbe stairs and into the
ball again, and tbura this time I tep
ped on a banobnll bat that was what
bad come banging down at me from

PAINTINGS OF CHRIST.
Tbe Ft.A a lit-plrtt'il by Hnme nf the More
Modern ArtlNla.
Among tho moro modern paintings
representing tho Saviour is that by Cor.
regglo, painted in tho sixteenth cen
tury. It represents Christ with short
curly beard, with long waving hair, sur
mounted by a crown of thorns. There
is u look of niuto anguish ou his face
that is heartrciidiiifj, but nevertheless
tho face is rather weak.
Tho most terrible likeness is that
painted nt nbout tho tiamo timo ns that
ot Correpitio by Albert Durcr. It rep
resents it powerful face, with a (Irecian
cast of countenance, with eyes distorted
by pain and anguish, nud oven a tritlo
of nugcr is apparent.
Tho Christ of P.aphael, n contempo
rary of both tho above, is nn essentially
Italian work, tbo faco being Italian,
nit hough tho model for the forehead nnd
upper faco was evidently a woman.
ThuKembrandtC'hvlstof thuFcvi nfet nth
century wears nn unpleasant expression
about the im .fit h and has too Ion;; 11 faco
to bo perfect, yet it is 0110 of tlio groat
artist's last effort!!.
Perhaps tho most fantastic pietnro of
Christ is that painted in tho iiftoenth
century by Leonardo 1: Vinci. It rep
resents tlio Saviour looking over his
shoulder, a cynical smilo on his face.
A hand may bo n"cn in his hnir, evi
dently drawing tholiead to ono t-ide. It
cannot compare in beauty, however, to
tbo same artist's face of Christ in tho
famous "Lord's Suppor. "
Tho noblest nud tho grandest is that
by Titian, painted in the sixteenth cen
tury. It is a faco of resignation, of
firmness strong, yet mild; mild, yet
strong. Titian was 00 years old when
he painted this, nnd it is considered ns
one of his masterpieces.
Of tho absolutely modern paintings
of Christ thoso of Munknczy, Ary 8hef
f er and Gabriel Mnrx rank highost Sti II
every one of thoso is an imaginary pro
duction, aud the Saviour will still cou
tinne to bo the "Man of Mystory."

Dnngprous flurgery.
Medical authorities havo in some
cases had renson to regret too nctivo
and energetic surgery in diseases ot the
nose nnd throat. It has in a numbor of
instances appeared that partial or cu

nnd complete loss of tho sense of smell
is not uncommon. Conservatism is gain

nud pnlliative treatment is recommend

that it might havo the desired effect.
