I heard them harneseing tire horses. All I was able to do was to drag myself to the mirror. There' looked at myself. It is all over, it will not last long now. I was quite frightened at my 'appearance. So stay, Isabel. Don't go away. You would only be obliged to return in a few days to my funeral.' Isabel rested ber head on the bed close to Martha, and burst out sobbing. "You are foolieb, I tell you, Don't speak in that way. Yon are breaking my heart." James caught his wife's hands. Why do you tormentyourself." he aaid, "and torment us also in this way because of a mere passing an iisposition ?" "Passing 1" she repeated, shaking her head, "that is true, for it will prove a passage from this life into the other." If you are ill, my child, we will have the doctor brought at once from Thillot." "Ugeless. The doctor will not be able to leave me." "Row do yon know?" "1 don't wish to see e. doctor." Clotilde made a sign to Jemes, who left the room. He hurried to Thillot for the doctor. Martha turned again to Isabel. "You haven't answered me. Are you going to remain?" "Yes, rn remain since you are ill. How can I leave you when you are suffering 7" " That is well, I am now content." She closed her eyes, remained motionless and seemed as if wishing to sleep. As she did not move, but lay so pale and changed one would have said that she had really passed away. The same sudden, horrible idea fleshed through the mind of each at the same instant. "Martha 1" cried Isabel in terror. The child opened her eyes again and seeing them bsnding over her, smiled sadly. She understood. " No, " she said, "not yet." The doctor came an hour later. He knew Martha's constitution. He had attended her during several attacks, and on all ocea• diens of uneasiness which her delicate health gave rise to He looked at her in surprise, Her ap. relevance made him uneasy, and he 'mad Whet did eke feel wrong 2 Where was For a =meet or tWO sate did not anewer, the seat of the paint When and hose Then in A Voice AO feeble that they scarcely heard she said. do, title crests manifest Oval ?

"How I love bine 1. how Ilove hint 1" James did not waken. She opened tbe door cautiously and went out. Everybody h the clone had long been asleep, so the met nobody. She crossed the hall, opened the entrance door and went out fide the courtyard. This was covered with snow except where the servants had cleared a path to tbe gateway. Martha patted through the gate, whioll was never shot The snow was very deep. She shin- ered and was seized with a 'violent tremb- ling. " I wish to die," he murmured, "but I dont wish them to know that. Nobody shell know that it is of my own free will that death comes to take me. So it will be sacrifice for sacrifice, and mine for Isabel will be as great as hers for me." After a time she went into the house again, geeing nobody as before. James was still sleeping profoundly and did not waken. She got into bed again, shivering, almost choking. Almost immediately she was seized with violent fever. She thought she was was going to die there and then, and was very happy at the thought. Isabel and James found her time in the morning, The doctor when he came questioned them. "What happened 7 She was better yester- day. This is a relapse so serious that I don't understand it at all." They did not know of course and could say nothing. Daring the day Martha remained In a comatose Mate from which neither tender words nor entreatiea zooid rouse her. The night passed in the same way. In the morning she spoke. "It is all over you see," she said to James. • Isabel was sitting at the foot of the bed. "Don't cry, Isabel, I wish to die," cheer- fully. About midday she was a little delirious. When she recovered her senses she looked at James and Isabel and seeing them mo and she said to herself. "They deserve to be happy. They are not thinking that my death -sets them free. So much the better. It would be too painful to die with anoh a conviction as that." She tried bo emile, saying "1 am better, you know, I have just been aeleep.

Non', for instance, the other day 1 overheard my small eon call his little aiater a 'chippy.' I reproved him for so doing, when he answered, All boye is kids and all girls is °hippies,' as though wonder- ing at my ignmance of the current vernacu- lar. When I awoke the other morning I I found the boy wide awake in his crib be- side the bed. As I turned to look at him he saw that my eyes were open, and 'be said to me : Pa, rye got a new one for you. Of course, I naturally expressed a desire to hoar it. Raising himself up on one elbow he looked rae square in the face and recited this: "'A big bull pup wieb a curled up tail, A very ymall boy with a big tin pail; They tried this solieme, but it would not do, And they buried the boy where the daieies grew.' "Well, of course," I howled. "If 1 had ever had the nerve to spring such an epio on my father when I was his age I would have been obliged to stand up to my meals for a week. It only goes to show the precocity of the youth of the present day." Duty on Railway Cars. There is something exquisitely absurd in the propoeition now being urged upon the United States Treasury Department to en- force the collection of a duty on Canadian railway cars every time they cross the border tl the sacred soil of the United States. It is believed to be started by Senator Mo - Milian of Michigan, a patriot who is engaged in the manufacture of railway oars himself, and who is consequently in a position to feel keenly the neceseity of applying the letter of the law with the greatest strict- ness. It would only remain, if this scheme be carried out, tor the Dominion Govern- ment to impose a like duty upon American oars entering Canada, and then we should have the edifying spectacle of a transship. ment of every pound of freight going either way between the two countries. As a method of "'protecting" the indiistries of the respective nations, this is togioal. Tbere is no limit to such protection short of reduction to the process of barter and the state of nature.

Tho book which scanted the highest offer was a Hebrew Bible, in tbe ponseitaion of the Vatican. In 1512 the Jews of Venice proposed to Popo Julius II, to buy the Bible, anct to pay for it its weight in gold. It was so heavy that a required two men to carry it. Indeed, it weighed 325 pounds, thus representing the value of half a million of francs ($100,000). Though be- ing ranch pressed for money, in order to keep up the "Holy League" against King LOUIS XU. of France, Julius II. declined to part with the volume. Telltale Polly. A lady living in the far West has a par- rot whose powers of mimicry are really wonderful. It will frequently repeat whole sentences in the exact tone ot the epee.kers, although it can rarely be induced to utter the same sentence twice. One day when the parrot's mistress was very busy, and did not care to see callers, she happened to look out of tbe window and saw an acquaintance approaching the house. " There comes Mrs. B— 1 Dear, dear 1" she said, in a tone of impatience. A moment later Mrs. B --'was ushered in, and on the instant Polly exclaimed, with a remarkable imitation of her mistreee's tone and emphasis, "There comes Mrs. B--- 1 Dear, dear 19 Blushing with confusion, the embarrassed hostess innocently made matters worse by saying, hastily: "Ole, please excuse Polly, Mrs. B--. You know what a way she has of repeating everything I say 1" They ilissed the Captain. Some of the Scandinavian women who were saved from the luckless Danmark kissed Captain Murrell, ofithe Missouri, who had saved them from a watery grave. They were just going off to the North-West, and they ahowed that they were not destitute of gratitude and ordinary human feelings when they said farewell to their deliverer. It may be taken for granted that the hus- bands ana sweethearts of the women did not object to their emotional tribute of thank- fulness. The cool and brave seaman, who, with his officers and men, saved upwards of seven hundred people from the cruel Alien- tio, 18 certainly worthy of being remembered. Captain Knudsen, of the the Danmark, also is deserving of honour for the rare judg- ment he showed in getting his passengers off his ship when he did, in fine weather, and when there seemed to he a slignt possibility of the Danmark living through her troublee. Whatever their fortunes are in the land of their adoption, the seven hundred rescued -ones may certainly begin to congratulate themselves that they have, as Gonzalo says, "no drowning mark upon them.", MARE.TWARTOE F1SfliZ� Some of His EriendsrulaY aZferY Mea Jole onim Away beck in the '60's, when Mark Twain resided in San'Calleiseo'and was the regu- lar correspondent of a Nevada paper, he was a character among the Bohemians, and was associated with many jolly souls Who are now nnmbered among tee missiog, and onany SOW Are Still well knower in Sari Bran.

He was the only one in the party who took it goodnaturedly, the other gen- tlemen refusing to converse on the sport ot red cod fishing, and always looking on the tranraction as a very mean joke. AS SWIFT AS THE TELEGRAPH. System by which. Maas Can Be Trans. ported at Xigh I n log Speed. A correspondent writes to the " Mannfact mem' Record" from Laurel, Md., as fol. lovve "The Baltimore Antomatio Trantat Com- pany is conducting a series of experiments which the officers of tbe company believe will bring about a revolution in the trans- portation of express, mail, and lighter freight. The company has ooneructed here a circular track, two miles in circuit, upon which itr experiments are conducted. The syttem of propulsion is much the same as on the ordinary electric railway. The Edition dynamo and the Sprague motor are eiaploeyd. The overhead rail is the main feature in tbe system, a double -flanged wheel on the car and motor catching upon it when the train is in motion. The idea is to have stations at twenty,five miles or more apart supplied with dynamos of suffi- cientpower to furnish electric force enough to drive the train for a round trip. The company have been working for over a year past getting the experimental plant ready, and have made several trials of the system, which, tentatively, were quite satisfactory, a, surprising speed being attained. The projectors of this enterprise expect to work each a revolution in the carrying of mails and packages that one may sit down to breakfast in Atlanta or Chicago and read Baltimore or New York papers of the same morning. The practicability of the scheme has been passed upon by Prof. W. C. Row- land of the Johns Hopkins *University and Thomas A. Edison, the latter of whom is Said to have declared it to be the greatest conception eince the telegraph." .An 'Unfeeling Brute.

His authority on points of philology was regarded as unrivalled. According to a French astronomer, the cooling of the terrestrial crust apparently goes on more rapidly under the sew, than with a land surface. From thia be argnet, that the crust meat thioken under oceans, at a much more rapid rate, so as to give rise to a welling up and diatortion of the thinner portions of the cruet thet is forming mountain chains. A man hopelessly lost in the bush in south Australia, after wandering about for four days, came upon the telegraph line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. He hadn't strength to go further, bat he man- aged to climb a pole and out the wire.. Then he made himself as comfortable as poseible and Notated. The plan worked well. The telegraph repairers were sent. along the line, and they came to the wander- er in time to save his life. Danmark has a now and unique society. It is called the "Celibacy Aseurance So- ciety," its object being to provide for women who can't; or won't marry. Premiums begin, at the age of thirteen and end at forty. ,Ati the latter age an unmarried woman receives, an annuity for life. If she marries at any time after taking auto policy, she forefeits, all claims on the eociety. The profits of the society are expected to be enough to provide, well for members who will never marry. Aphasia in a most extraordinary form is at present under treatment by Dr. Cheroot. A Frenchman, aged 60, learned English through living seventeen years in North America, and then Spanish after hie mar- riage with a Spanish woman. He lost his command of these languages in the inverse order. First he was unable to speak Span- ish, then English went from him and lastly his native tongue, Frenoh. The affliction was aecribed to the softening of the third left lobe of the brain, and by a methodical practice in convereation he regained his nor- mal ability, recovering the languages in the order of French, English, and Spanish. Considerable excitement pervades court circles in London regarding a certain letter. After the Duchess of Cambridge died the Qaeen desired to commanioate with the Grand Dake and Duchesi of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, who could not be found. It wao learned that a lady well known in society had received a letter that morning from the Grand Duchess and the Queen eent a re- quest that it ejloonld be forwarded to her. But there was a passage in the letter which • could not be shown to her majesty. The owner was forced to say that it had been burned by mistake, Every one who doesn't know wants to know what was in the letter,. What are known by ,the name of le n bricks have been satisfactorily introduced as paving material, in some parts of Germany. These bricks are made by mixing equal parts of finely ground clay, with the addition of' five per cent, of iron Me. The ingred- ients thus mixed together are then moisten- ed with a solution of twenty-five per cent. of sulphate of iron, to which fino iron ore is added, until the mass shows a consistency ot - thirty eight degree!, Baume. After this, the oompoand is shaped in a press, dried, dipped once more in a nearly concentrated solution of finely ground ore, and then bake ed in an oven for about forty-eight hours, in.
