It was In the sunimer of 1859 that George Wainwright and Ben Spencer, each An charge of a train Of freight wagcins, were headed for the Missouri river to bring supplies back to Colora- do points. The Indians were very troublesome in those days, and these two outfits always camped together for protection. One night they had ar- ranged the camp, with the wagons forming a circle, and everybody but the guards was to be inside. Wain- wright preferred to sleep in a clump of cottonwoods about a quarter of a mile off, and there ho fixed himself with his negro servant as a. bodyguard. Neither the camp nor Wainwright was disturbed during the night, but early' the next morning while Wainwright was sitting on the ground with his back to a tree drinking his tin of cof- fee an arrow from an unseen foe en- tered his neck at the right of the jugular vein and was driven with such tome aS. to impale the victim to the tree. The negro, believing his master was killed, ran to Spencer's camp and gave the alarm Spencer and some of his mon rushed over to Wainwright. Insteo.d of being dead Wainwright. was not even seri- ously Injured. Spencer cut the arrow off close to the point of entrance and then gently drew Wainwright's head forward until he was released. The victim suffered but little inconvenience from the wound, and by the tinse the trip was completed it was entirely healed.—Los Angeles Times. THE WAY OF THE SWISS. Foreigners Regarded as Egyptians and Treated Accordingly. A. foreign resident in Switteriand was fined. 10 francs because his little girl had plucked three buttercups growing on a piece of land on which she wad some half .dcizen Swiss chil- dren had for years been accustomed to may. The laud had recently changed hands, and its new -owner had put up a notice forbidding the plucking 01 flowers. A.passiug gendarme hed found the children flagraute delicto and had forthwith instituted preceed- lugs agaiust the tette foreigner, while letting the little natives go scot free. The child's father appealed against the sentence and by dint of hard fighting, which entailed, of course, expense, forced the higher .court to reduce the fine from 10 francs to 8-1. e., 1 franc for each buttercup. . When .1 tried to lean) the whys and wherefores of this ease 1 was told by a Swiss that ono -half of every fine lev- ied goes to the gendarme who reports (be offense for which it is levied, and also that Swiss gendarmes cannot fair- ly be expected to be quite so alert in taking proceedings against their own country people as against foreigners. _Further, 1 was told by an iemericen that Ssvitzerland all ,toreigners rank as Wetyptians and that the ono Scrip- tural iejUnction that is faithfully obeyed there is that which ordains that Egyptians shall be spolled.—From "0.13e Latter Day Swiss" in Cornliill Magazine.

Until pretty late in the eighteenth century inummie.s entered into a great variety of drugs, balms and other medicaments. As the genuine mummy was then expensive, recipes were giv- en by many ancient writers for con- verting human flesh into mummy. TJsually telly certain pertions of the body were used, and these were beat- en, dried, macerated and spiced out of all likeness to their natural condition, hence "beaten to a mummy.. Numer- ous allusions are made to Inc prac- tice in ancient literature, and in an old play, "Bird in a Cage," are the directions, "Make mummy of my Cosh and sell me to the apothecaries."

Motive Power Can be Controlled From Desk—Seving of Weight • end Spece. The report than an order for a motorsdrivee hettleshie is sliortin to be given to Portsmouth Dock- yard is certainly premature, though if the skill of marine engine... eers prove equal to the task, it is only an intelligent anticipation a the future' ea'ye the neva' corres- pondent ofThe London Daily Gra- phic. The advantages to be gained by the introduotion ef the internal combustion engine into lerge shipa of was are to great that it may be considered a oerteinty that de- signers will never rest, until the dif- ficulties are overcome. The saving in weight and space and the greater aro of training obtainable for the guns, aro obvious advantages, as is also the elimination of the net °essay to carry a large stoker com- plement, a,nd the conversion of al- most every inan on board into an actual combatant, But there will be further seem- . ages yet, The motive power will once more, as in the clays of sails, be controlled directly from the deck. The whole engineer question will vanish for there will be no need for Alt ENGINE -ROOM WATCH. Moreover, the ship will be protect- ed by a continuous armoured deck, and the anticipated danger from explosives dropped from dirigibles or aeroplanes down the funnels will vanish before it has fairly come in- to existence. Furthermore, as the firse sign of a fleet at sea is alwaye the smoke, even when best Welsh is burned, the fleet which first possesses a number of motor -driven ships will derive considerable benefit from in- visibility. • But we are some way from this desirablo. consummation as yet. Prudence demands that the Admir- alty should not risk so much as the failure of a two -million -pound battle,ship until the system has been thoroughly tried in vessels of light- er weight and less importance. This may be saki with confidence, though our Admiralty and their technical advisers have shown themselves not to be wanting in daring. SENTENCE SERMONS. A pious fraud is sin's best finesse. Paix is often but the 'thiegs of pleasure. My love of God is wrong unless it makes him more lovely to others. If you cannot sometimes forget to count yourself you will never be worth counting. Saintliness and sanity arc both a happy balance •between self and society. Too many of our ideas on duties are sadly mixed with notions en revenue. Whoa a man's religion is on his sleeve it is usually part -of his cloak. Ib is easy to love truth ardently when its edge is toward your ad- versary. It's easier to talk about the straight and nerrow path than it is to walk in it. Too Many are praying for a har- vest of lovewho have planted no seeds of kindness. The greatest difficulty in winning the esteem of -others lies iu our foolish estimates of ourselves. It is good nvidenee you have only half se truth when you think you have a monopoly of all. The doors to heaven tire in re- tired places of helpfulnesss. eothing will help you more than helping a man when you do not want to.

By 1901 the new system of propul- sion bad been introdueed into the Navy in the destroyers Viper and Cobra., which' were both, unfortu- nately, lest in the same year. The Turbine was next installed in the small cruisers of the "Gem" elites • (Araethy-st, etc.), and then, in 1905,, • the Admiralty made a huge step for • - ward by inetelling them in the •• Dreadnought and the Invincible • cruisers. • But turbines heel by then had a much more exhaustive trial as ship propellants than has any form at internal combustion engine at pre- sent. Not only had they been tried with success in destroyers and small cruisers, but a good many passen- ger steamers wens running them. There is net, at present,a warship of any kind running with. internal COMBUSTION ENGINES.
