Americans, particularly, are apt to take great risks; for example, in their eating, their clothing, their building, in crossing railway tracks, and in many other wavs.
How careless we are! No staging seed ever fall, and it would not a proper care wore taken in the choice at material and in ' constructidn. Think of the frightful list of deaths resulting from the use of oil poured upon a lighted fire to cause it to kindle more quickly! With many other causes of sadden death our own personal ills seem at first might to have almost nothing t da There may be a fatal break hi the physical machinery at a poiaj where weakness has not been sua ptcted. The heart, perhaps, becomes unnaturally enlarged, or its tough, muuoular liber turn. to fat, and sua denly there is a mortal rupture. Or the enfeebled heart fail to send blood to the brain, and the man aropa dead in the street, or at his business, or, more fortunately, perhaps, in the jiidat of bis family. In other oases there maybe t. degeneration of the cerebral artery, anj high living,, or a glass of wine, or a excitement of passion, may arouse the heart to send the blood to the brain with a force too great for the weakened arterial walls to withstand. These walls may give way at one t more points, the out-poured blooot presses against the nerve centers, and thus it cut off the necessary supply of nerve force to vital organs. a man falls unconscious, and with few days dies. We bare not Jpaee to speak of other causes somewhat similar, but in mot of them the weakness of the link a which the chain breaks is due to overexertion, to too continuous brain work, to excesses in eating and drinking, tc passion, to worry. Tho weak spot being ascertained, the faf at result may be prevented for year;, perhaps in definitely, by a carefully- .Wfulatad Ufa

A Chinese Eicp.rer once sent ai expedition to regain control of Liu-Kin, but the affair wan a failure. Then
came a period of civil war, which split
toe Island into three kingdoms, after which China stepped in once more and exacted a tribute, which wan regularly
paid for five centuries. The three king of Liu-Kin formally declared themselves the vassals of the Chinese
Emperor Hong-ou, who advised them to give up fighting end cultivate trade. A colony of thirty-six Chinese families was sent over front Fokein, and Chinese books, Chinese writing, and Confucianism were introduced. In the fifteen century the three king, doms were once more reunited under one king, to whom the Emperor of China gave the name of Chan?, a name retained by the royal family of Lin-Kiu even unto t'lis day. By this time there was a tolerably nigh state of civilization in the islands, with numerous templeajof considerable wealth. A large trade was being conducted regularly from Napha with Satsuma and other pnVjgjs of Japan as well as with China and Corea. In time the islands became a sort of entrepot in tho commerce between China and Japan, and the King of LiuKin was a sort of permanent mediator in the quarrels between the two great nations. By and by, however, when Japan began to cherish the ambitious designs of "annexing' both China and Cores, she sojfrht, first of all, to induce
the King of Liu-Kin to acknowledge her supremacy. This the King refused to do, whereupon the Japanese invaded his kingdom, plundered and burned his cities, and took him away captive. In the seventh century the Chinese again gained the ascendency, and so, tossed as a shuttlecock between the battledores of tho two rival empires, poor Liu-Kin fared badly until 1850, when payment of tribute to China finally ceased. In 1879 the Japanese deposed the King and forcibly annexed the islands, and in 1885, during the France-Chinese war, the formal recognition of their sovereignty was granted China- Ml the Yew Mound,

there were three terrific explosions, simnltanaonslT. in the cellars of D. T. Heeds,

for several squares and broke every plateglass window in the block. Almost instantlv flames shot wo from vari

by the prompt work or toe nre aeparoneui. A crowd nnirtlv fathered to view the ruins.
The Hotel Albemarle, the Bijon Theater entrance, and the shops which fronted en Sixth street, between the hotel entrance and Library Hall, all were terribly shattered. The damage by the explosion will reach $60,000. The greatest loss is to the

lescaned and returned to Indianapolis.
When a policeman attempted to arrest me
I shot him. Fur this I served five years at
Michigan City. When I was released I was employed by a commission house in Indianapolis and was sent to Yincennes to
assist in shipping poultry. While there a
saloon-keeper put me out of his house, followed me to tbe street and struck me.
I shot him dead, and was sent to the prison in this city for twenty-one years. Frank
Harris insulted me and I cut his throat
with a shoe knife. I do not want to go to the prison for life, and desire you to either acquit me or bring in a verdict of death."

"Voila la vraie Novelle Orleans 1" lisped little Betty, as she guided him for the first time into the labyrinth of narrow streets branching off of La Bae Royale. It was her old home, and very, beautiful and dear to her. Madame de P arras w a confined to the bouse with rheumatism, and was willing to trust -her to the escort of her reverend friend. 80 the old man and the girl, being, about the age ("as' old as the Babes, in the Woods, " quoth Mrs. Ely,) fett into the habit of strolling in the early morning or gathering twilight through the work of oddly silent streets, so narrow that the overhanging eaves nearly met over the cobble-stone - pavements. Steep roofs, scaled with earthen tales and green with moss, hooded dormerwindows peeping out of them like halfshut eyes, rose abruptly from the onestoried houses. Here and there a cobbler sat on his bench in the street plying his awl and singing to himself, or a group of swarthy, half-naked boys knelt on the banquette, flinging
their arms about in a gambling game
for pennies, and ehneking in some wild dialect, half negro and half French. Their walks usually ended on the Boulevard Esplanade, . Even that wide' thoroughfare fett into quiet in the afternoon as the long shadows of the trees lay heavily across ik Within the close walls they could catch a glimpse of the courts about which the houses are built, the glitter of fountains shaded by orange trees and broad leaved tropical plants. Sometimes a jsjousied window would be left open, and they would catch the tinkle of a guitar or the sound of a woman's voice singing. Kcbecca Harding Davis, in Harper's Uagarine. "
