The old lady dearly loved a draw at it, and to procure this blessed, privilege she was often forced to give Danny a cup of tea, brewed from the leaves that had made her own, or a spoonful or two or her soup from the Barnoraig kitchen. As she would say, Danny had "a crap for a' corns." So it happened that upon an autumn morning, Danny, in tattered sleeved - waistcoat and corduroys, crept out into the sunshine and sat him down upon the bench at his cottage door. The day was weenie and colt-. The dead leaves were dark with the night -dew. The slopes were groaning with the blades of the second crop, the sunshine lay cheerily upon the stubble and the warm stacks of fodder that were still standing in the fields. Even the spokes of the mill -wheel sparkled where the light caught the dew in lts MOSSeS. • The morning called for indulgence. Danny fished his pipe out of his waist- coat pocket, witha sigh that had many meanings in it. He knocked the dottle out upon his grimy palm and put it back again carefully to the last grain of fugitive ash. Then he pulled up his waistcoat, and. groping deep in his trouser -pocket, drew forth a small round metal box out of which he took a two-inch screw of twist tobacco. From this he cut about half -an -inch with a dilapidated lien -knife and pro- ceeded to crumble it. carefully in the hollow of his hand, He then filled his pipe as one who would prolong a pleasure to the utmost, and, all being ready for the pleasant sacrifice, he veiled out in a thin, cracked voice,— "Are ye steerint Granny?"

William Carnahan, a patient at the Allegheny, Penn., General Hospital. is attracting the attention of the medi- cal profession because of a wonderful operation he Ins just passed through. The operation consisted of placing a layer of gold between the membraues covering his brain. It is intended to supplantea large section of bone that was trephined away in the hope of curinn him of epileptic- fits. He is on a fair way to recovery from. both the Operationand fits. Carnahan is a railroad, employe and lives at 155 Ellsyrorta street, Alle- g'herin. Shortly over a. year ago Car- nelian was badly injured in a railroad accident, His skull was fractured and Ms life was despaired of. The splin- tered bones were removed and he ap- parently recovered. Shortly after this he began to take epileptic fits. Every known remedy was tried to cure him of them. He was a patient at the West Penn. Hospital, but got no re- lief. He went East and was under the care of the leading physicians and surgeons there, with no better results. Some months ago he was admitted to the Alleghenn General Ilbspital. Drs. R. L. McGrew and. C. H. Volgin operated upon him. His skull was tre- phined again. The epileptic attacks ()eased for a time after this, but only for a short while. It appeared to the physicians that the absence of such a large quantity of bone exerted an in- fluence that had, a bad effect aeon the brain. There was also considerable dif- ficulty in healing the wound properly, ue the membranes, TI -IE LONE STAR raradog. 1074e. bgteanItahateIr, ccjilltsvinzilyd CHAPTER XL The crew of the Lone Star, and the retie of the devoted, band that had sail- ed from. Bristol in the -Royal Charley, were all ranged along the deok, and were uproarious in their demonstrations fr of satisfaction. The eebooter and Eleanor were received with the delight one experiences at finding dear friends still living whom he had. supposed to be dean So great was the joy felt and manifested by all, save Henry Fastens, who, however, was simply silent, that the negran state was scarcely noticed. Presently, however, one of the passeng- ers asked, "What has ./ceb. been do- ing?" "All, had forgotten," said Sir Reg- inald who with Eleanor was still on deck: "Mr. Poston% look bare, sir. Know you of any property belonging to your uncle which lay in his cabin?" "There was a large sum lot money in gold, which I searched for when we re- turned to oll the vessel, and Which I fond not," replied the young man in a hot- iwto"Behold, then, the murderer of your father, Eleanar 1" exclaimed Sir Reg- inald solemnly. "God knows I never suspected the scoundrel. Mr. Postans, I have a bumble and most sincere'ap- ology to offer to you' for my injurious su,spicioas.

Him berry faithful servant, and tell the truth!" "I shall not kill you; but you shall be tried at Kingston for murder." "Oh, massa they hang me like one dog!" "And you deserve it." The crew and passengers gazed with horror on the asatsai as he was remov - ed, heavily ironed, to a place in the hold. The doubt and suspicion which had hung over two innocent men was, however, removed, and felti this to be an intense relief. Eleanor looked, despite her deep 'ettrrow, with a kind smile an both.

Granny heeded him not at all. he hated him only as the guardian of he bones, and feared nothing except hat her coal might rim down. Between Granny Wilde and her eighbor, Danny Mann, a jealous' nendliness subsisted. Danny, who was comparatively young, being only a little over eighty years old, could still, at times, do odd jabs for the farmers. Thus he did not live en- tirely upon charity. - It was in the matter at their coal supply that the old couple were per- manently jealous of one another. It had become a fixed idea in Granny's mind that her neighbor helped himself from her store, and many an hour she _spent staring into Danny's coal -shed in the hope of being able to identify as hers some peculiarly, shaped lump of coal. It made Danny' cross to find her thus occupied, his idea being that she was feeding the lust of -her eye and. would no doubt break through and steal at the first convenient oppor- tunity. He labored hard upon the fence between the yards, but the poor crazy barrier wanted or its repair more skill and wood than he possessed Thus the old couple liv-ed side by side, in outward amity, but with the canker of distrust eating at the roots of their friendship, Danny Was nearly as unwashed as his neighbor, but his cheeks were more fleshy, and in the centre of each glow- ed a patch of crinkly red which seem- ed to 110,1re been stereotyped there by the hand of time. His back was much bent, so that in a sitting posture his small mousey head, with its spotted cheeks and ferretty blue eyes, was thrust inquisitively forward to the level of his knees. Against the wall, between the cloore of the cottages, was a bench on which Danny often sat, sucking industriously at his short black pipe, whether there was aaything in it or not. This pipe and, apparently does not experience any ill effects from the load of valuable metal upon his thinning organs. DON'T FEEL PAIN. The Rearm Extra Skin is Very modest a Great Protection. Nearly everybody knOws that the Kaf- fir has an extra skin beyond the numb- er apportioned to the white man,; and the fact of this additional cuticle, may account for' the extraordinary insensi- bility of this race to physical pain. The following facts are vouChed for by a writer is being absolutely correct: In a eimithy near Bloemfontein one afternoon some one noticed a strong and pungeant Smell as of flesh burning. On inquiry being made it was discover- ed that a stout Kaffir boy was stand- ing barefooted on a red-hot horseshoe which had somehow fallen on the ground. Strange as It may seem he had not the slightest knowledge that the burning mass was beneath has foot, and although an enormous blister was soon raised, he averred that he 'felt no pain whaterer. i All black men have the reputation of owning think 'Weans, but what wile be thought of the Kaffir who fell from a second -story window, about 15' feet, bumping his head on the ground as he fed, awl who rose after a few seconds, brushed the dust from his hair, and pursued his way, laughing at the in - Ci dent. Another instance of this extraordin- ary insensibility to suffering Games from a cyon maker's shop in Johannesburg. A Kaffir in the course of his work, had , the whole of his forefinger nail on the , right hand torn off by the machinery. , In an instant he plunged'the mutilated member into a vat containing boiling alum, and bore the pain with simply a sight wince. By resorting to this course be showed himself an adept, in the art of self -cure, for, a day or two later the finger was painlees, and the nail soon grew again. But the extra- ordinary part of the business is that a process which would probably have made the ordinary -white man lose consciousness did nothing more in the case of the Kaffir than elicit a grin of pain. care was that he should be worthy of you. This I can answer for. Captain Montrose, to whom told all, convinc- ed me of this." "Thank you," said Sir Reginald. "My friend," but do my duty. I cal- umniated and, aspered your character. I find my mistake and I own it," "True courage of noble minds." "But let us not forget what I ask of you. Eleanor, we are 'going to a strange place. You must have a pro- tector. A rich heiress, you. will be per- secuted; and then, dear cousin, refleot that as long as you are free, I shall have hope left me. That would be cruel indeed. But once you are affianced, once you are married, I shall calmly make up my mind to What must be, and be once more your affectionate and attached cousin and friend. Will you refuse me this favour ?" Reginald and Eleanor refused no long- er; and Henry Postans, with a grave and solemn air, placed the young lady's hand in that of the exfreebooter ; but, according to his promise, freebooter no more. Everybody was much moved at the sight, though unaware of the pain- ful confession made by Henry Postans; and though the gallant orew of the Lone Star foresaw the consequence, they could not forbear a loud and glad- some shout at the sight of the happy countenance of their beloved captain. Josh was, as we have said, put in con- finement in the hold; Eleanor had the captain's cabin given up to her, and then all sail was set and the Lone Star once more was on its way, A gonad breeze, a• lovely vessel, and fair winds, soon brought them to their port, which Sir Reginald entered without hesitation, Captain Montrose gave such an aceount of what they owed to him, that the governor of Jamaica wel- comed him most heartily. In those days the brethren of the coast were very differently considered from what pirates are GOW. Lopez and bis gang of regular sea -robbers were given up, with Josh, to the authorities, and ten days later, were all hung together, af- ter a very summary trial. The Lone Star then departed. Williams took the command, resigned by his former cap- tain; and the charming little' schoon- er made for Turtle Island, and joined the renowned buccaneers, who were for some time yet to carry on warfare in those seas under the orders of Henry Morgan, Montbar, and others. Sir Reginald and Lady Woolaston, a year later, returned to England, the former having obtained leave from the government to reside on his paternal estate: and Eleanor saw realized all, and more than all, that had been prom- ised by her dream. She was indeed hap- py. She had a good and noble hus- band, who never had any other serious fault than strong political bias and a morbid love of adventure. She in due time became a proud and happy moth - en and was beloved to enthusiasm by all around her. Mr. Postans settled in Bristol, and became one of its most powerful and wealthy merchants. Neith- er be nor Sir Regereald,nor Eleanor, have ever forgotten the lessons of caution, temper, and patience, which they learn- ed on their cruise with the Royal Char- ley and the Lone Star.

If the original programme had been adhered to, 10,000 men would have sufficed, the War Office could have managed that oh its head, so to speak, Now it is nearly off its head at the prospect of what is regarded as the biggest military display since the Crimean war, more than forty yeare ago. There are no barrack accommoe dations in London for more than the eternal garrison, and 20,000 additional troops cannot, it seems, be quartered in Me garrison towns within easy dis- tance of the metropolis, because the railway managers say they will have quite enough to do on the great day to bring the hundreds of thousands of sightseers safely to town and back. again. The soldiers, therefore, to all appearance, will have to camp in the parks, which will be a novel sight for cockneys. There is not the slightest doubt that the display next June will be the great- est and largest ever seen in London' The Royal procession itself will prob- ably be a mile long, and the array of Princes and Princesses in it will enceed the jubilee show in numbers and gor- pauseless. Physicians and courtiers are already shaking their beads, pre- dicting all sorts of evils likely to result to the aged. sovereign from THE PRODIGIOUS STRAIN such an undertaking will involve. Vari- ous curious and ingenious arrange- ments are being made to save her need- less fatigue, including a specially de- signed revolving spring seat in her carriage, by means of which she will be able to bow from side to side to the acclaiming multitude with. the mini- mum of exertion and maximum of effect'. The members of an enterprising syn- dicate who bought up house and shop front windows along the route of the procession have already made more than 100 per cent. profit, which, how- ever, they have made no attempt to realize yet. The Telegraph declares that a well- known millionaire has just offered 45,- 000 for the use on Jubilee day of three small windows belonging to a weekly newspaper with a publishing office in Ludgate Circus, which is by no means a first-class position, and that the offer has been refused. The mate of the possession is a popular one with the masses; the only protest against it comes from the Col- onial Offices and the occupants of flats in Victoria street.

" Upon my word,' cried Henry Pos- tans, "the man. is still hankering af- ter black -mail. But if we must go, better go in that beauty than in the Dublin packet." And the whole party were in a few minutes more again on the deck of the Lone Star; and the lovely vessel bounded on her voyage as if she felt the presence of her old commander. (The End.) ELECTRICITY AND STEAM. There are few, sights more fitted to convey an idea of power than a steam locomotive just starting or arriving; the whistling and roaring.of the steam, the throbbing in the smoke -pip:', the tremor of the ground, lead the. mind to expect a proportional effect, as from some unix:late monster. An elec- tric locomotive, in a similar situation, is an embodiment, of apathy and harm- lessness in 'its appearance. There is neither throb nor roar, no steam to scald the wayside passer, nor cindery, sooty smoke to blind the eyes, choke the breath or stain immaculate linen. In action, however, the electric machine, still comparatively quiet -in its movements, often rolls along with a tigerish purr, or a hum as of a vaet siva.T131 of angry bees, with now and then a lurid flash—weird evidence of the mysterious power, invisible as the wind, that Darks in the miles of wire coiled round the magnets and arma- tures of the huge electric motors con- cealed in the dark interior of the mas- sive frame. ICELAND BELIES ITS NAME. So far as can be determined from a knowledge of the word only it would appear that Iceland is a land of ice. It is no more so than Greenland is a land of verdure, but rather a land of abundant meadows. These contain. great flocks of horned sheep and herds of cattle and ponies, all of which are exported.; and potatoes, cabbage and turnips grow as luxuriantly as the crops. of grass. There are glaciers in the Island, of course, but they form no icebergs, and the sea around the island is never frozen. Owing to the Gulf stream the climate is mild, in winter and balmy in summer, yet it is insufficiently favorable to the ma- turity of corn and fruit. WHAT LONDON DRINKS. The figures of the liquor consump- tion of London are not easy to con- ceive. It appears that about 177,000,- 000 gallons of beer are &tank in Lon- don yearly, and 485,000 gallons daily. The quantity of wine consumed in a day is about 5,500 gallons, or 44,000 pints which could be stared in a wine vault 52 feet square and I foot deep. The consumption of spirits is 16,000 gal- lons a day. The tea consumed year- ly is 33,000,000 pounds. The daily con- sumption of tea is 90,000 pound, of cof- fee,ll2,000 pounds and of cocoa 8,800 pounds. HE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT, A mother was assisting her little boy with his geography when. they came to the word "desert," which he could not understand. His mother explain- ed it was a barren place—a place where nothing would grow. 'The boy's face brightened up at her words and feel- ing sure that he had solved the diffi- oulty she asked him to explain lis meaning and the prompt answer came; "Ma feytber's bald head!" He—" Why do they call women the fair Sex?" She—"To distinguish them from the unfair sex, no doubt." iver Ills Like biliousness, dyspepsia, headache, consti. pation, sour stomach, indigestion are promptly Mired by Hood's Pills.
