CHAPTER XXIII. rnntlniied. "What docs ho savV" tho 1'Yem'hman lvrfnr., oajcr to know tho truth. Hut Kelix, Tearful lo.t any interruption might broak tho throad of tho bird's discourse and cheat them of the soquel, held up a warning linger and then laid it on his lips in mute injunction. .Methuselah threw bark his head at that and laughed aloud. '("Jod save tho king!" he cried ao-ain. in a still feelilor way, ' and to hell with all papists!" It was strange how they all hung on the words of that unconscious nicsenger from a dead and gono age. who himself know nothing of the import of tho words ho was uttering. Methuselah laughed at tlieir earnestness, sltook his head onco or twice, and scorned to think to himself. Then he remembered afresh the point ho had broknn off at. "More fully discovered. For seven years have I now live.! on this island, never having seen or hoard Christian face or voice, and at the end of that time, feeling my health fail, and being apprehensive lest any of my fellowcountrymen should hereafter "suffer tho sumo liito as 1 have done, I liegan to teach this parrot his message, a few words at a time, impressing it duly and fully on his memory. "Learn, then, O wayfarer, that tho people of lloo I'arry are most arrant gentiles, heathens, and earribals. And this, as I discover, is the nature and method of their vile faith. They hold that the goods arc each and several incarnate in some one particular human being. This human being thev worship and reverence with all ghostly respect as his incarnation. And chieilv. above all, do tbey revere the great rod too-Kceia-heeia, wno-e representative (mav tho Lord in Heaven lorHvo mo for tho samo! I myself am at this present spealcinar. IJavinir thus, for my sins, attained to that impious honor. Uod save the King: confound the Buko of York! To hell with all papists! It is tho fashion of this people to hold that their gods must always bo strong and lusty. For they argue to j themselves thus: That the etuitinu- j ance of the rain must needs depend j upon the vigor and subtlety of its soul, I the rain-god. So the continuance and j fruitlcssness ot the trees and plants I which yield them food mu.-t needs do- j pend upon the health of tho treo-god, ; Ana me uio or tno worm, ana tno : lisrht of tho sun. and the well-beinir of I all things that ia them are. must do-1 1 end upon t he strength and cunning of j tho high cod of all, Too-Keela-Keela. I Honce they take great care and wor- i ship of their gojs. surrounding them ; with many rules wnicn they can laboo, nnd restricting them as to what thov shall cat, an:t what drink, and ! wherewithal they shall seemingly : clotho themselves. For they think that if tho King of the Rain ate any-; thing that might cause the colic, or j like humor or distemper, the weather i wi!l thereafter be etnrmv and teni- j post nous, but so long asthe King of tho ! iiain fares well ami retains his health, j so long will tho weather over their I island of BooJfarry bo clear and pros-! porous. j "rurthermoro. as J. have learned ( from their theologians, being mvseli', indeed, tho greatest of their gods, it is ! evident that they may not let any god die. lest that department of nature ?-h. J!5-icl"hslT!'l1 ! uiiui iiuu jau, m it , Lie, n uu jinn. , But reasonably no euro that mortal man can exorcise will prevent tlm ossibility of their god- seeing he is but one of themselves - growing old and leeblo and dying at last. To !icvent whleh calamity, these rent:le folk have invented ins 1 believe by the aid and device of Sathan this horrid and most onnatural practice. The mangod must be killed so soon as ho sl owcth in body or min i that his native powers are beginning to fail. And it is necessary that ho be killed, according to their faith, in this ensuing fashion. If tho man-god woi e to dio s-lowiv by s death in tho course of nature, tho wavs of tbo world might be slopped altogether. Hence these savages catch the soul of their god-, as it were, ere it grow old and feeble, and transfer it betimes, by a magic device, to a suitable successor can be none other than him that isab!c to take it from him. This, then, is their horrid counsel and devicethat each one of their gods should kill his antecessor. In doing thus, he taketh the old god's lite and soul, which thereupon migrates and dwells within him. And by this tenure may Heaven be morcihii to me, a sinner do I, Nnthauiei Cross, of tho Count'.- of Doo l::.m. poiv hold this tile nity ot' Toa-l-cc'ii-Ki-.il.i. buvincr tduia, therefore, in m : ..nai rel. my antecessor in tho high : otlsi-ip." As hu rea Im-,1 the u words Methuse lah utilised, and choked in his throat sughtlv. J he mere inc.-nanual ei'ort of continuing the speech ho had learned by heart l!:" years before, and repeated so oft m since that it had become part of his being, w as now almost too much for him. Tho Frenchman was right. Thoy were onlv just in time. A few days later, an I the secret would have died with tho bird that pre served it. CHAPTER XXIV. AN UNFXNISHEU TALK. I' or a miniito or two Methuselah mumbled inarticulately to himscif. Then, to their intense discomtiturc. ho began once more: "In the nineteenth year of tho reign of his most gracious majesty, King Charles tho Second, I, Nathaniel Or. ss " "Oh, this will never do," Felix cried. 'Wo haven't got vet to the secret at all. Muriel, do trv to set him right. He must v.asto no breath. We c.au't atVord now to let him go all over it.'' Muriel stretched out her hand and soothed tho biid gently as before. 'Having slin, therefore, mv prede cessor iu the high godship," she suggested, in the same sing-song voice as the parrot 's. To her immenso relief, Methuselah took tho hint with charming docility. in tho high godship.-' he went on. mechanically, where he had stopped. And this here is the manner whereby I obtained it. The Too-Keela-Keela from time to time (lot h generally appoint any easluw;?v st ranger that comes to the isiand to t he post of Korong that is to saw an annual god or victim. For. us the year i;oth renew itself at each change of seasons, so do these curribals in tlieir gcntilism believe and hold that the gods of the seasons to wit, the King of tho Kain, the Ouecn of tho Clouds, tho Lord of Creen Leaves, tho King of Fruits, and others must needs he sleain and renewed at tho diverse solstices. Xow, it so happened that L on my arrival in the island, was appointed Korong', ami promoted to the post of King of t lio Hain, having a native woman assigned Uieas Queen of t no Clouds, with whom I might keen company. This woman being, after her kind, enamored of me, and anxious to escape her own fate, to bo sleain by my side, did betray to me that secret, which they call in their tongue, the (ireat Taboo. an. tjwliieh had beeii betrayed to herself in turn by a native iiititi. her former lover. I 'or the men are instructed in these things in the i.icx'.orios when they coom of ago, but not li.o women. Aud tba Great Taboo is tain; JSo

man can bcome a Too-Keela-Keela unless he first slcay the man in whom the hijjh god is 1!k -arnato for the moment. lUit in Older that, be may sleay him. he must, alsn himself be a full Korong, cmiy those persons who are already goJs being capable for tho highest, post in t heir hierarchy: even us with ourselves, none but ho that is : deacon may become a priest, and none but h that is a priest may bo made a bishop. For this reason , then, the Too-Kocla-Koela prefers to advance si stranger to the post of Korong. seeing l hat s"ch a person will not have been initiated ill the mysteries of tho island, and therefore will not lie aware of t hose sundry steps whi.-h .iir.st needs bo taken of him that would inherit the godship. ' ILrthci niore even a Korong can only obtain tlio highest rank of Too-Keela-Keela if he order all things according to the forms ail 1 ceremonies of the Tabo, perfect . v. For these gentiles are very careful o! tlio leviticl parts of the polity of the Hebrews, tho fame ot whoso tabernacle must sure have gone through t ho ends of tho world, and the knowledge of whoso temple must have been yet more wido dispersed by So 'union, his ships, when thev came into these parts to fetch gold from Ophir. And tho ceremony is, that before any man may sh ay the 'urtlily tonement of Too-Keela-Keela an 1 inherit his soul, which is in very truth, us they do think, the god himself, he must'noeds light with the person in whom Too-Keela-Keo a doth then dwe.l, and for this reason: if the holder of the som can defend himself in light, tlwii it is clear that his strength is not one whit de -a.Ye.l, nor is his vigor fcailing: nor yet has his assailant lii.cn able to take his soul from him. But if the Korong in open light do sleay tho person injwhom Too-Keela-Keela dwells, he boeometh at on e a Too-Keela-Kce a himself- that is to say. in their tongue, the Lord of Lords. Vocalise ho hath taken the life of him that receded him. "Vet so intricate is the theology and practice of theso loathsome Mirages, that not even now have I explained it in full to you. I) shipwrecked mariner, tor your "aid find protection. For a Korong. though it be a part of his privilege to contend, if ho will, with Too-Keela-Keela for the high godship and princedom of this isle, may onlv do so I at certain ap; ointed times, places, and j seasons. Above all things, it is necesI sary that he should first find out tho ! hiding place of the soul of Too-Keela-1 Keela. For though tlio Too-Keola- ! Keela for tile time that is, bo ani- ! mated by the god, yet, for greater se- ! curity, he doth not keep his soul in ! his own body, bur, being above all i tilings the giid of fruitfiilriess and gen- ! cration, who causes women to bear : children, and tho plant, culled taro to i bring forth its increase, he kcepeth i his soul in the great sacred tree behind his temple, which is thus tho I Fattier of All Trees, and the chiefest abode of tho groat god Too-iveela-I Keela. "Xor does Tco-Kcela-Keela's soul abide e itially in every iart of this aforesaid tree: but in a certain bough of it, (resembling a mistletoe, which hath yellow leaves, and. being broken off. growcth ever green and yellow afresh: which is the central mystery ot ul! their Sat name religion, tor in this very bough - easy to be discerned hythoeyo among the green leaves of the tree--" the bi'-d paused and faltered. of'S" ''Among the e"n leaves uf the trco -" she went on . soothing him. Her Voice seemed to give the parrot a fresh impulse to speak. "Is eon-j tained, ns it, were." be continued, 1 feebly, "the divine essence itseif, tho soul and life of Too-Keela-Keela.

I Then ho foil off his perch, stono dead, on the ground. They were never to hear the conclusion of that strange, quaint message from a forl gotten age to our more sceptical ceui tury.

As they spoko, a littlo rustling in tho jungle hard by attracted their attention. Felix turned to lonk. A stealthy brown liguro glided away in sileuco through tho tc-jiglod brushwood. M. l'eyron started. "Wc are observed, monsieur, " ho acid. "We must look out for squulls! It is one of tho Fyes of Tu-Kila-Kiia!" "Lot him do his worst!" Felix answered. "We know his secret now, and can nrotect ourselves against him Lot us return to the shade, monsieur, and talk this all over. Methuselah

; has indeed given us something to-day very serious to ttuntt about." CHAPTER XXV. TIT KILA-KILA STHIKES. And yet, when all was said and dono, knowledge of Tu-Kila-Kila's secret didn't seem to bring Felix and Muriel much nearer a solution of their own great problems than thoy had boon from the beginning. In spito of nil Methuselah hud told them, they were as far oil as over from securing their escape, or oven from the chance of sighting an F.uglisli steamer. This last was still tho main hope and expectation of all three Europouhs. M. Perron, who was a bit of a mathematician, had acuratoly calculated the time, from what Felix told him, when the Australasian would pass again on her next homeward voyage; and, when that time arrived, it was thoir united intention to watch night and day for tho faintest glimmer of her light, or tho faintest wreath of her smoke on the fur eastern horizon. They haa ventured to eontido thoir design to all three of their Shadows; and tho Shadows, attached by tho kindness to which they were so little accustomed among their own people, had in every ease agreed to assist them with the canoe, if occasion served them. So for a time the two doomed victims subsided into their accustomed calm of mingled liopo and despair, waiting patiently for the expected arrival of tho much-longed-for Australasian. TO UK CONTINUED. Why Cholera Kills. When an adventurous scientist declared that he had swallowed any amount of cholera cultures without injury, there was a good deal of incredulous head shaking, and while the doubters could not really dispute the statements made they insisted that there must b -something behind it all, for if cholera bacilli were really themselves and nobody else why didn't the man die? Now it appears that it isn't the well-bred, properly conducted bacillus that does the mischief, but a substance that they manufacture from tho contents of the human interior where they take up their abiding place. The bacilli proceed to lorin what Is known as nitrite a most deadly poison. This substance is by the bacilli generated from many veaetatdes, especially caulillower, lettuce, beets, and turnips. Meat contains but a limited amount of convertible material; hence the prevailing idea that vegetables are to be eaten with prudence during cholera seasons, while meat in small quantities and Indian corn, barley and the like are much safer articles cf diet, It is further asserted that there are other bacteria found in the intestines of men and animals that arc capable of cene ating nitrites, but that the cholera bacillus produces over 40,000 times more than any other creature. If there is no suitable substance found by the cholera bacilli upon which to work, they form lactic and other acids, but these rarely cause sorious ills. They sometimes g.ve rise to what is known as cholerine, which frequently prevails to a considerable extent during epidemics of iliolcra. .New York Ledger. Wuat Was Expected. The young fellow had been quite devoted to tne girl for several months, and one evening while he was waiting for her, her wealthy and venerable dad walked in on him aud began to ask questions. "In, young man," he began, "it seems to me you come arouud here a good deal." -Yes, sir," trembled tho uitor. "Come to see my daughter, don't vou?" "Yes, sir." "Well, what do you come to see her for?" To answer that question would be telling, but the youth thought be might as well make a clean breast of it and get it oil bis mind, so be braced right upi 'Because, sir," he said between shakes, "because I love her and want to marry her. and sbe wants me too."

I I Quito a Family. Queen Victoria's fifty-six living dosceudants are cast in tlio shado by tho remarkable family of tho DowagorDueliess of Aborcorn. A fortnight ago this venerable lady saw 101 of her descendants assembled at ono timo and in one place. It was at Montagu House. Whitehall, London, tho residence of the Duke of tiuceieuch, where an interesting ceremony took place in commemoration o. tho Dowager-Duchess' birthday. To celebrate that event, the pretty idea had been acted on that all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren 101 persons, ranging in ago from 00 years to t months should assemble to offer their congratulations to the venerable lady. The Duchess having taken her place in tho ball-room, the various am Hies of ner descendants filed past her, headed by her eldest daughter, the Dowager-Countess of Lichfield, with her thirteen children and thirteen grandchildren. Few Ilactcrla In Newer Air. JCo less than ono hundred samples of air from a Herlin sewer have been examined by Dr. Petrie, and on ono occasion ho is said to have found no organisms in it at all. In another experiment only one bacterium was t raced and three molds. Curious as it may seem, it would, therefore, appear that drain air, as regards freedom from microbes, is frequently superior to that which we inhale in our houses and compares very favorably in this respect with the air in crowded reception-rooms. Mr. Laws, commenting on these experiments, says that although the organisms of sewer air probably do not constitute any source of danger, thev mav contain some poisonous chemical substance capable of affecting the general vitality to a very serious extent. Invention. Forest Fires and Wicked Weeds. Whenever there is a costly forest fire, or some pestilential weed overruns a territory, the first rush is to legislatures fo;- heln. It reminds ono of the -Fsopian fable of the wagoner stuck in the mud, and praying to Jupiter to pull the wheels out. There could be no forest tiros without an accumulation of dead brush. Tho annual fall of leaves or dead twigs might have a yearly tiro run through them, and the trees not suffer at all. Instead of employing hordes of "inspectors" at enormous salaries to dress up in uniform, to "arrest gunners or campers, who may build fires or accidentally start a "blaze," the same number of men," at half the wages, to go to work and burn dangerous material, would make forests absolutely safe. Mohan's Monthly. The Picnic. Everybody knows what a picnic is, but most folks would lind it hard to say how it got that name, and yet it is simple enough when you come to learn it . When a picnic was being arranged for, the custom originally was that those who intended to bo present should supply the drinkables and eatables. A list of those necessities having been drawn up, it was jassed around, and each person picked out the article of food and drink that ho or she was willing to furnish, and tho name of the article was nicked or ticked off tho list. Tho open-air entertainment thus became known as "pick and nick." Tho custom is said to have dated from 1S02, so that the picnic is wholly an institution of the nineteenth century. Harrison's Monthly.
