trived was divided from the kitchen by a
partition. A few evenings ago, the visitor
was awakened by a tretnendoue din in the
kitchen, and on proceeding thither, she
found that all the pots and pans had been
thrown from their pegs on the floor. The
next oight the glass of the partition was
smashed, a heavy deal dresser was over-

An Armenian nun battiest died in a con-

years. She entered the convent when she

did not once cross Its threshold. Medieval
piety which set forth complete ignorance
of the world we live in as one of the chief
qualifications for sanctity, could surely ask
110 more than this. Very few who have
visited Jerusalem would contemplate A res-
idence of 98 years in that eity with joy,
even with the privilege of remaining alt
that time immured in ihe cloisters of it con-

By night the shanty had been made com-

of wood was cut, and water brought from
the lake and supper cooked. Outside it was
getting very cold, but as bright as day, the
moon being nearly full. Smoking our pipes
and. telling stories filled up the time until
10 o'clock, when suddenly, the oldest dog,
with, his heir bristling, and growliug, made
for the door.
" What's the matter, Mance?" said Pre-
vost. " Hold on ; don't let him get out.
Don't you hear the noise oetside—them's
timber wolves."
Sure enough, that low howl, which once
tithed is never forgotten, was coming down
the wind, and there seemed to be a pack.

they are together, One Will seldom attack

We soondiscovered what principally at -

lay not ten feet from the shanty, and no
animal either lame or wild makes so strong

fellow, grey on the back, it sure sign of age,
made a dash for the body of Reynard and
got a load of buckshot that finished him at
once. Another tried, it and had his back
broken by a ride bullet. I was not over ten

thirty yards away and howled dismally.
We now resolved to stood guard by turns,
as we could not believe that the vicious

down after building up the fire. How long
I slept I can't say, but was awakened by
the yelling of the dog and Provost crying
The Deadly Cross of Corsica.
Tbe cross is a threat of death, and the

nor knows when to stop. It is not confined
to two persons. The quarrels of individuals
are taken up by whole families.
Not even collateral branches are exempt,
and women must take their chances with
the men. Indeed, revenge is more artistic-
ally complete when the blow falls upon the
beautiful and •gifted. In 1850 one Joseph
Antoine injured a girl named Sanfra,nchi.
Thirty years passed and the story was for-
gotten, but on August 14, 1886, the nephew
of Sanfranchi encouutered Antoine on per-
haps the first occasionhe had ventured. from

for months, or even years, in their houses,

One of the most remarkable eaees that
ever pezzled the medical freternity isthat
of Jacob Ritten, who left Minneapolis ou
November 18 in charge of two atteadents
for treaerneut at a Boston psychological
iustitete. Bitten was a eouple of months
ago adjusted insane by the Omaha Commis -
more. Dr. Chtreaoe Miner pronouuced
him to be in a hypnotic condition, but other-
wise in perfeet health, As this has been
the verdict of no less than half a dozen ex-
perts within the last year, it was determin-

him to a psythological hospital and see what
could be done towards restoring hint to his
former self. The peculiarity of the Me

his; name is Allem Hotoa, and that 14was
born in the year 327 B.G. He says he went

ness tbat establishes at oncehiskpowledge of
ancient history and possession of an imagin-
ation second not even to that of Rider Hag-
gard. Batten described to The World cor-
respondentthe personal manners of Pooleiny,
whom he charade doe as a " pretty shrewd
sort Of a guy." He says the people whn are
now claiming relationship with him have
no ritibt whatever to the title. The first
time he ever saw them was when he eseap-
ed from a museum in Philadelphia three
years ago. He was brought over from Egypt
by Prof. Haggin, the Egyptologist, he says,
and was couscious from the firet moment
the lid was taken off the sarcophagus. He
experienced neither hunger nor thirst, Only
a desire to get out of the rags in which his
limbs were bound, but he found it impossi-
ble to move either baud or feet until the
wrappings were taken off, and he was placed
under is glass case in the museum of the
Academy of Sciences, Then he ilegen to
move 0. little at a tirne, nntil one evening
just before dusk he crawled out of the case,
and made his escape in the janitor's over-
coat. When asked to accoout for the
knowledge of locaeions of different Stetes
and cities in America, width he betrays in
his conversation, Batten says lie has studied
bard lance his escape from mummydam to
acquaint himself with the world of Wesley
and ite usages. The Man never becomes In
the treat embarrassed by questions put to
him, but answers every inquiry with
stearlustsO OTanasses.
The impression produced on those who lis-
tened to the wild talk of this modern Egyp-
tian is that he is as crazy as a March hare,
but there are the assertions of the medical
men to the contrary. Ritten has a queer
history, which is told by Mrs, Strelhoff, his
sister. She says that she and her two broth-
ers are the ehildren of a Russian Jew, umned
Michael Rittexi, who with his entire family
was driven out of .Moscow in 1300. The
elder Ritten refused to join the Established.
Church aud was hustled out of the town,
being compelled ta soll his property and
stock for a song. They moved to London,
erriving almost penniless, but the father by
persistent energy made enough money to
open it curiosity shop in the Mile End Road
This proved to be a poor location, and a
move was made to the West End where the
femily set up shopagain in Wardour Street.
This last venture proved to be a success, and
a good deal of money was made prior to 1801,
when the old man died, and Mrs. Strelhoff,
having married a baker of London named
Strelhoff, moved to this country. A couple
of years later she was followed by her
brothers, who had olosed up their business
in Landon and sailed for America with is
good deal of money, in the neighbourhood
of two thousand pounds. They engaged in
farming in Contra Nebraska, but Mrs.
Strelhoff says that for the laat five years
Jacob has been subjeot to peculiar hallucin-
ations. 1 or a week at a time he would insist

It -was evident that wo were fairly be-
seiged, and from the window could see at
least a dozen brutes that were excited by
the smell of the blood. I killed two and
Provost one'while we must have wounded
five more. It was a long, weary night ;
my companion's hand was painful and he
shared the common belief that a wolf's bite
is poisonous, while our poor dog was
badly hurt, his fore paw being nearly bitten
ciff, and his throat mangled. just before
daylight, a rush was made from the out-
side and I killed the last wolf with his head
and front legs inside the cabin—hunters be-
heve that these animals sometimes go mad,
and this looked like it, but when day broke,
with one long howl they left as they came.
When we ventured out, besides the one
in: the cabin three were dead. One with
its back broken, snapped at us until a bullet
ended its life. There were trails of blood
leading to the slake and others must have
been wounded, but such is the vitality of
these animals that they will carry away a
big load of leads•

The World's Rost Useful River.
The Nile, probably, is the most wonderful
river in the world. It has made Egypt pos-
sible by turning an arid wilderness into the
richest land in the world. It has provided
at the same time an admirable commercial
highway, and made easy the transportation
of building material. The ancient Egyp-
tians were thus enabled to utilize the granite
of assuan for the splendid structures of hun-
dred -gated Thebes and of Memphis, and
even for those of Tanis, on thealediterratean
coast. At is time when the people of the
British Isles were clad in elm skins of wild
beasts, and offered Mimeo sacrifice upon the
stone altars of the Druids, Egypt was the
centre of a rich and refined civilization.
Most of this developmene of Egypt was due
to the Nile, which not oisly watered and fer-
tilized the soil tomtit...11y, but was and is one
of the greatest and best natural highways in
the world. From the beginning of le inter to
the end of spring—that is, while the Nile is
navigable --the north wind blowa steadily
up stream with sufficent force to drive sail-
ing boats against, the current at a fairpace ;
while, on the other hand, the current is
strong enough to carry a boat without sails
down against the wind except when it blows
o gale. That is why ancient Egypt did not
need steanapower nor electric meters for
the immense commerce that covered the
Nile, nor for the bares carryin building
material for htutdrecis of miles.
,Good Texts.
The Good Book admonishes us that
"A good man deaveth an inheritance to
his children. "
"10 any provide not for Isis own, and
especially for those of his own house, he
has denied the faith and is worse than a
infitlel."
"A prudent matt forseeth the evil and
hicleth himself."
"When thou liest down thou shalt not
be afraid ; yea, thou shalt lie down, and
Shy sleep shall be sweet,"
For length of days, and long life, and
pea.ce shall they add to thee."
