The Cleveland Plain Dealer records an instance of such a sort an - aoeont-minded performance on the part of an elderly lady, which must haw -beguiled at least half an hour tar the Arthur passengers. The day was warm and dusty, ana she was seized with i nirsr,. At one ena of the car was a water-cooler, and to it the lady wont. She took the cup in her hand, turned the faucet, and stood waiting-.

CHAPTER VI. Continued. But nothing that Muflol fluid say would induce the girl, further explain her meaning. Shfe shook lio- head and looked vtory Wisfe. "When a god come int stomebody," she said, nodding toward MVu-iei in a mysterious way, "then him god himself: him Korong-. When the gbd go away from him, Ivorong no longlf; somebody else Korong. Queenie Koroner now: so people worship him. While him time last, pettpie plenty tuna to mm The day Basse'd away, anl .nlgftt came On. As it approached clouds drifted lar fi-om eastward. Mali busied WerSelf with laying out aVouffh bed in the hut for Muriel, and, leaking her a pillow of soft moss and the curious lichen-ittcp rtatertal that hangs parasitic from the trees', and is commonly kSn as the "61d man's I card." As boith Mall and Felix assured her confidently no harm wOuTd come to her within so strict a TaVoo, Muriol, worn out with fatigue and terror, lay down at Itfteitd sleirt sound' v on this native Sub&ihite for a bedstead. ShP t1ppt witaout dreaming while Mtt'i lay at her reel., reaay at a moment s can. it was so stnmjre; and yet she was too utterly Vetwied to do otherwise than sleep, in Spite of her strange and terrible surroundings. Felix, too, slept for S6ine hours, but Woke with a start in the n-jrht. It wa raining heavily. He could hear the loud patter of a fierce tropical shower on the roof of his hut. His Uhadow, at his foot, slept still utlmoved; but when Fttiix rose tin his el bow, the Shadow rose oh a sudden, too, and confronted him curiously. The 0ung man heard the rain; then he bowed flown his face with an awed air, not visible, but audibio, in the still darkness. "It has come!" he said, with superstitious terror. "It has coma at last! my lord has brought it'" Alter tnat, r eiix lay awaKe for some tfturs, hearing the rain on the roof, and puzzled in his own head by a halfuncertain memory. What was. it in his school readine that that ceremony with the water indefinitely reminded him of? Wasn't there some Greek or Roman superstition about shaking your head when Wa'er was poured upon it? What could that superstition be, and what light might it cast on thai mysteridus ceremony? He wished irt could remember; but it was so long Since he'd read it-, and he nerer cared mttcn at school tor ureeic or Jttoman antiquities. Suddenly, in a lull of the , rain, the whole context at once cam'e back with a rush to hiffl. He remembered now he had read it. some time or other, in wait classical dictionary. It was a Custom connected with Greek sacri fices. The officiating priest poured water or wise 'on the head of the sheep, bullocfc. orather victim. If the victim shcttk its head and knocked off. the drops, that was a sign that it was fit for the sacaiflve, and that the cod ac cepted it. If the victim trembled visibly, that was a most favorablj omen. If it Stood quite still and didn't move its neck, then the god rejected it as unfit for his purpose. Couldn't that be the meaning of the ceremony per formed on Muriel and himself in "Heaven" that morninir? Were thov merely intended as human sacrifices Were they to be kept meanwhile and, as it were, fed up for the slaughter? It was too horrible to believe; vet it almost looked like it. He wished he knew the meaning of that strange word, "Koronir." Clearly. it contained the true key to the mystery. Anyhow, he had always his trusty knife. If the worst came to the worst the wretches should never harm his spotless Muriel. For he loved her to hierht; he would watch over and protect her. He would save her at least from the deadliest of insults. Chapter vii. interchange of civilities. All nirrht lone, without intermission. the heavy tropical rain descended in torrents; at sunrise it ceased, and a bright blue vault of sky stood in a spotless dome over 'the island of Boupari. As soon as the sun was well risen. and the rain had ceased, one shy native girl after another came straggling up timidly to the white line that marked the taboo round Felix and Muriel's huts. They came with more baskets of fruit and eggs. Humbly saluting three times as they drew near, they laid down their gifts modestly just outBide the line, with many loud ejaculations of praise and gratitude to the gods in their own language. "What do thev say?" Muriel asked. in a dazed and frightened way, looking out 01 tne nut aoo: wonder to Mall. and turning in "They say. 'Thank you, Queenie, for rain and fruits.'" Mali answered, unconcerned, bustling about in the hut. "Missy want to wash him face and hands this morning? Lady always wash every day over yonder in Queensland." . Muriel nodded assent. It was all so strange to her.- But Mali went to the door and beckoned carelessly to one of the native girls just outside, who drew near the line at the summons, with a somewhat frightened, air, putting one finger to her mouth in coyly uncertain savasre fashion. "Fetch me water from the spring!" Mali said authoritatively.in Polynesian. Without a moment's delay the girl darted off at the top of her speed, and soon returned with a large calabash full of fresh cool water, which she lay down respectfully by the taboo line, not daring to cross it. "Why didn't you get it yourself?" Muriel asked of her Shadow, rather relieved than otherwise that Mali hadn't left her. It was something in these dire straits to have somebody always near who could at least speak a little English. Mali started back in surprise. "Oh. that would never do," she answered, catching a colloquial phrase she had often heard before in Queensland. "Me missy's Shadow. That great Taboo. If me go away out of missy's Bight, very big sin very big danger. Man-a-Boupari catch me and kill me Like Jani, for no me stop and wait all the time on missy." It was clear that human life was held very cheap on the island of Boupari. Muriel made her scanty toilet in the hut as well as she was able, with the calabash and water, aided by a rough shell comb which Mali had provided for her. Then she breakfasted, not ill, off eggs and fruit, which Mali cooked with some rude native skill over the open-air fire without in the precincts. After breakfast, Felix came in to inquire how she had passed the night in ner new quarters. Already Muriel ielt how odd was the contrast between the quiet politeness ot his manner as an English gentleman aad the strange savage surroundings in which they both now found themselves. Civilization is an attribute of communities; we necessarily leave it behind when we find ourselves isolated among barbarians or savages. But culture is a personal and individual possession; we carry it with us wherever we go; and no circumstances of life can ever deprive us of it. - Aj they tat there talking, with a

change (Muriel more conscious than ever now of how doop was her interest in Felix Thurstan, who represented for her all that was dearest and lir! In England.) afturimU rioic, .as .of 4 dist'tirduHt nriini 'or torn-trim, beaten in dbr ol recurrent tune, was heard toward tho hills: and at its very first sound both the Shadows, flinging th'emselvos upon thoir faces with every sign of terror, endeavored to hide themselves under tho nativo mats with which the bare little but was roughly carpeted. "What'H the matter?" Felix pried! in English, trt Mali: for Muriel had already xrlained to him how the girl .had picked up some knowledge of our tongue in Qmt nsland. Mali trembled in every limb, so that sho could hardly speak. "Tu-Kila.-Kilacomo,'' she answered', all breath

less. "No black fellow look at him, Brtrn tilacktellow up. You and Missy Korong. All right for you. Go out to meet him. "Tu-Kila-KHa is coming," the young man-Shadow said, in Polynesian, al most in the same breath, an 1 no .less tremulously. "We dare not look Iipon his fao lest lie burn us to ashes. Ho is very great Taboo. His face is firo. But you two are gods. Stop forth to receive him." Felix took Muriel's hand in his, somewhat tremblintr himself, and lod her forth on to tho open space in front Of tho huts to moot the man-god. Sho followed him like a, child. Sho was woman enough for that. She had im plicit trust in him. t At thoy emerged-, a strange procossioiS ir)et their eyes unawares, coming down the zig.ag path that lod from the hills to the shore of the lagoon, where their huts were situated. At its head marched two mon tall, straight, and supplo wearing huge feather masks over their faces, and beating tom-toms, decorated with long strings of shiny cowries. After thorn, in order, came a sort of hollow s riuaro of chiefs or warriors, surrounding with fan-palms a central object all shrouded from the view with tho utmost precaution. This central object was covered with a huge regal umbrella, from whose edge hUng rows of small nautttuS and Other shells, so as tb form a kind of screen, like ttio Japanese pbrtiers now sO common in Kudish doOrwaVs. Two supporters hold it up, one on eituer side, in long clonks 'of feathers. Under the umbrella a man seemed to move: and as he ap proached, tho natives, to right add left, f ew precipitately to their huts, snatching up thoir naked litt'e ones from the ground as thoy went, and cryiher aloud, "Taboo! Tabodl .He comes: he comes. Tu-Kila-Kila! Tu-Kila-Kila!" The prdcossidri wound slowly on, unheeding these common creatures, till it reached tho huts. Then the chiefs who formed the hollow square foil back one by one, and the man under tho umbrella, with his two Supporters, canto forward boldly. Folix noticed that they crossed without scruple tho thick white line of sand which all tho other natives so carefully respected. The man within the umbrella drew aside the curtain of hanging nautilus sneiis. tils lace was covered witn a thin mask of paper mulberry bart: but Felix knew ho was tho self-same person whom they had seen the day before in the central temple. Tu-Kila-Kiuvs air was more insolent and arrogant than even before. Ho was clearly in high spirits. "You have done well, O King ot tho Kain," he said, turning srayly to Felix; and you, O Cjueen of tho Clouds; you have done rirht bravely. We have all acquitted ourselves as our neonle would wish. WTe have made our showers to descend abundantly from heaven; we have caused the Croi s to grow; We have Wetted tho plantain bushes. See; Tu-Kila-Kila, who is so groat a god, has come from his own home on the hills to greet you," "it bas certainly rained in the night," Felix answered, dryly. But Tu-Kila-Kila was not to be put off thus. Adjusting his thin mask or veil of bark, so as to hide his face more thoroughly from the inferior god, ho turned round once more to the chiefs, who even . so, hardly dared to . look openly upon him. Then ho struck an attitude. Tho man was clearly bursting with spiritual pride. He knew himself to be a god, and was filled with the insolence of his supornatuial power. "See, my people," he cried, holding up his hands, palms outward, in hi3 accustomed god-like way; "I am indeed a great deity Lord of Heaven ter of Time, Measurer of tho Sun's Course, Spirit of Growth, Creator of the Harvest, Master of Mortals, Bostower of Breath upon Men, Cniel Pillar of Heaven'." The warriors bowed down before their bloated master with an unquostioned assent. "Giver of Life to all xne nosior xne goas, mey crioa, "you jirA inrlAnrl a min-ht.v nnn. Wnirrhni" nf I 1. . M w. v the equipoise of Heaven and Eart h, we acknowledge your might; we give you thanks eternally." Tu-Kila-Kila swelled with visible importance. "Did I not tell you, my meat," he exelsimed, "I would bring you new gods, preat' spirits from the sun, fetchers of firo from my bright home in the heavens? Have they not brought the precious trift of fresh firo with them?" "Tu-Kila-Kila speaks true," the chiefs echoed, submissively, with bent hoads. "Did I not maite one of them King of the Rain:" Tu-Kila-Kila asked once more, stretching one hand toward the sky with theatrical maguificence. "Did I not declare tho other Queen of the Clouds in Hoaven? And have I not caused them to bring down showers this night upon our crops? Has not the dry earth drunk? Am I not the great god, the Saviour of Boupari?" Tu-Kila-Kila says well," the chiefs responded, once more, in unanimous chorus. Tu-Kila-Kila struck another attitude with childish sclf-e-'atisfaction. "I go into the hut to speak with my ministers." he said, grandiloquently. "Fire and water, wait you hoar outside while I entor and speak with my friends from tho sun, whom I havo brought for the salvation of the crops to Boupari." The King of Firo and the Kinjr of Water, supporting the umbrella, bowed assent to his words. Tu-Kila-Kila motioped Felix and Muriel into the nearest hut. It was the one whore the two shadows lay crouching in terror among the nativo mats. As the pod tried to enter, tho two cowering wretches sot up a loud shout, "Taboo! Taboo! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!" Tu-Kila-Kila retreated with a contemptuous smile. "I want to see you alone," ho Baid, in Polynesian, to Folix. "Is the other hut empty? If not, go in and cut their throats who sit thoro. and make the place a solitude lor Tu-Kila-Kila." "Thoro is no ono in tho hut," Felix answored, with a nod, concealing his disgust at tho command as far as he was able. "That is well," Tu-Kila-Kila answered, and walked into it carelessly. Felix followed him closo and doomed it best to make Muriel enter also. As soon as they were alono, Tu-Kila-Kila's manner alt ered greatly. ' Come, now." ho said, quite genially, yet with a curious undor-eurrent of nut in his stealy gray eyo; "we three are all gota w wiio m In htnvtn M4

"You arc mistaken," Kclix said. simply not thinking it Worth while to Contradict lliiii further; "It. was it lUiriilv natural accident; "Wo!l, tell me." the savage god wont on once more, eymg him closo and sharp, "thoy say vou havo brought frosh hro from the sun with you, and that you know how to make it burst out like lightning at will.

Felix took out the match-box from his nockct and struck a vosta carefully. Tu-Kila-Kila looked on with profound interest. "11 is wondorful. he said, tatting tho vesta in his own hand as it burned, and o.xumining it closely. "1 have heard o( this before, bul, 1 havo never soeu it. You are indeed gods, you whito men, you sailors of tho sea.' He erlaneed at, Muriol. "And tho wo man, too," ho said, with a horrible lner; "tilt?, woman is pretty." TO IK CONTINUED. Ijacly Waterford. More than fifty years airo Lady Louisa Stuart was one of England's beauties; yet she was the least selfconscious maiden ever seen, and it is even said that one evening sne exclaimed, in going up a sta!. case to a ball: 'Mamma, do look at that girl Witn tbe handso i e profile:" Her mother saw, with amusement, that she had not recognized her own reflection in the mirror. Very early in her career of conquests a young nobleman, known as "the wild Lord Waterford," was devoted to her. He had become celebrated far and near for his strange exploits, not one of which was unworthy a chivalrous gentleman, and euerybody wondered what lie, devoted to hunting and sport, could have in Common with the sjjirituelle, art-lofi ing daughter of Lord Stuart do Koth lay. Even Lady Stuart, t'ae mother, saw but one answer to be made htm, and one day said tb her daughter: . "I have had the most extraordinary proposal for you iro n Lord Waterford. I must lose 110 time in writing a refusal." "Oh, but" hesitated the daughter. "Wait a little! 1 stiould like lo think about it first!" They were married, and a long life of happiness and tran ;uilltr followed. Lord Waterford cave iii his escapades, and seemed to live on'.y in his wife, and was always happiest in following the pursuits she loved. She devoted herself to tbe peasantry of their little Tillage, and quite changed its Condition to one of prosperity and contentment. With one of old pursuits, bis had the greatest never complained her husband's huutinj, she s-mpiitliy, and of tbe dull weeks spent with him at Kockwell, where he kept his horses and hounds. Sometimes he did not return from his excursions tell 10 o'clock at night Then he slept for two hours, and at midnight dinner his wife was alwa;-s smiling and gay. He had been made a diilerent man by her devotion, and no one ever heard tbe beauty, who might have lead the gayest possible life in tho fashionable world, express a w sh for any other career than that of serving her husband and bis peoplis. She was always known among the latter as "our lady," and when she died their grief was almost uncontrollable, Toole Leeches. Out in the South Side a young man Was suffering for a swollen law. IHs landlady had applied various reme. dies without much success, and finally she said: "I think you will have to get a couple of leeches." "Where can get them?" "At a drug store." "Will two bo enough?',' "Yes, and you want both of them at once. In three or four hours that swelling will go down." The young man went to the nearest drug store and there purchased two leeches. He returned to his room, studied the flat, blackish looking things with some dist rust, and then boldly washed them down with a big glass of water. In a few minutes the landlady came arouad. "Where are the leeches?" she asked. "1 took them." "Took them? Swallowed them?" "Why, yes; what's the matter?" "They'll eat you up. Don't you feel anything? Kun for the doctor!" The doctor came. The yountt man moaned in pain. The landlady cried. And that was all tbat hap pened. Chicago liecord. Kot an Original ldoa. "When X drink at a public fountain," sa d Jenkins, "I do it in this way. I take the cup and touch my lips to it at this point closest to the handle. Every one, vou know, naturally holds a cup by the handle. Holding it thus it is extremely awkward to get one's lips anywhere except on a certain part of one side ot the rim, so that people without knowing it place their lips to almost the same s; oL But as you see," he he went on, illustrating his action, "I twist it aiound this way and get an untouched spot." That was a good theory, but It was not borne out by facts. Jenkins and his friend stood near the fountain tor some time in conversation. Meanwhile several people came up to get drinks of wtcr. About hall of them had theBauie theory as Jenkins, and sought tbe spot nearest the handle of the cup. Thus those who picked up the vessel bapha.ard, generally fared better then more fastidious neighbors. A Favorite Color, Green has been a ciiuinctlve color of the past season, and blondes and brunettes alike will rejoice tbat the new spring color card is hoaded with this favorite hue. A bright green heightens the natural brilliancy of a clear dark complexion, throwing into relief tbe red cheek and li, and lending the eye a clear, sparkling light. A blondiv requires a sofi.er shade of green than the brunette. Too bright a hue would give to the fulr-haired, fair-skinned woman a sallow, washedout look. But it is well to know that this color, as well as all others, can be softer and rendered wearable by either type of beauty, if judiciously combined with white.

I'ntil within the last few yours cents were not recognized as currency in tho West and South. Of late they havo bogun to be used all over the country, thonn-h their introduction has been gradual and their acceptance reluctant. Cents are as yet practically unknown in Nevada, Wyoming, and Arizona. New York omploys tho greatest number of pennies.

1 ROYAL BAKING POWC ER A False Joan of Arc. As shown by publications in this column recently it appears 'there was a true and false Molly Pitcher, heroine of the re7olutionary war. There is the same trouble witt the famous Joan of Arc, but the hitorians are now feeling satisfied that they have got the raise Joan, or at least one of them, located. It wa: on account of the uncertainly as to which was which that the canonization of the martyr maid was so long delayed. Tbat Joan was never buiicd at all is a paradox whieh has been u aintained at intervals since 16 83. The idea has even been suggested that the false Joan was a younger sister of the true Joan, and was put up by her family, now named Du Lys, in the hopes of reward. This is looked on as a possible hypothesis by -enri Blaze de Bury, in his -'Jeanne d'Arc." The second edition is of It DO. The Charge against the family ol! Bit Lys is very dishonoring, but the 31lliculties about this sister, Catho-ine, arc enough to make a student tear his locks in sheer perplexity. Meanwhile, it is not even certain whether there was only one or two, or laor false Joans. Th'. lmposter was first generally heard of, In modern times, when the Mercurd Galant in November, Pis:!, published an extract from the chronicle of the dean of t-'iint-Thibaud of Met, for the year H:!6.

At Arica it was fifty feet high, and enveloped the town, carry -ing two warships nearly a milt beyond the railway to the north of the town. The single sea traveled n srttiward and westw rd. Its helg it at San Pedro, California, was iiixty feet, it inundated the smaller members of the Sandwich group, 6,00 niles away, and reached Yokohonn, in Japan, in the early hours ol the morning, after taking in New Zealand on tbe way. It spent itseli finally in tbe .couth Atlantic, having traversed nearly the whole glolie. Ashton Reporter. Fox Terriers nnd Elephtints.

Thfi introduction of tho lemon-tree into Europe is due to the Caliphs during their inasion of tho West. Tho lemon thus transplanted was found by the Crusadets in Syria and Palestine cowards the end of. tho eleventh century.

An Odd Trick. "Woman play odd tricks on one another sometimes, " said a lady ot fasbioo, "but the queerest I ever, heard of was perpetrated by odd social leader in a wcetern city upon' another. They wero rivals and hated each other aceordincly, thouRh outwardly tbey proserved the semblance of pleasant relation! Every chanco that either pot to give at tbo other was eaprerly seized. But t'ae final and most effective stroke after which no calls were exchanged, was delivered by Mrs. L. She scot out cards for a grand entertainment, and then took pains to find out what Mrs. F., her competitor, was Koing to wear. A gorgeous piok brocaded satin was the material of Mrs. F.'s gown, it was ascertained. Accordingly, Mrs. L. whose husband was in the dry goods business, obtained several hundred yards of the same identical stuff, and draped the walls of all th rooms on the lower floor of her bous with it. You may imagine the feelings of Mrs. F. on aiTivina ia her superb new frock, which she expected to make a sensation. Naturally, she ordered her carriage and drove away in tears."

THE first thing a man does on reaching the rural regions is to loudly raplisodize over the beauty and purity of nntrammelei nature. The next is to start back to town, "where there is some fun going on." KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and1 tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the'needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced .in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect laxative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. i Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 60c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by tho California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,' and being well informedyou will not accept any substitute if offered.
