AN SOM hp

And It Might Have Been the Most rible of Fates Too.

We were sitting on the veranda of oc bungalow one evening in far off E ma, R. A. and I, enjoying our at lei dinner cheroot. The waters of the bay lapped iazily at the sands at our very feet, for onr honse was "builded on the sands" of the shore. All the woiI:l seemed at peace only the plunk, plunk of the monotonous night bird in the jungle and the occasional weird note of the jackal signaling in the distance to his comrades was heard. Tha moon had come up from behind a rocky island just over in the bay, and spread a flood of golden yellow light over the silver topped breakers, rolling in over a neighboring coral reef. It- was so calm raid beautiful that it seemed that all that was wicked and bad had gone out of the world, and yet death lurked just at my friend's elbow as h® puffed unconsciously at his cheroot.

We had been discussing in a leisurely manner something that had happened in America. To prove some point Jny friend arose and stretching himself lazily sauntered into his bedroom to get a paper bearing on the matter we had been discussing. Usually lights were placed in all the bedrooms, but this evening, for some unaccountable reason—probably the moonlight—the servant had not performed his duties. I could hear my friend tumbling abc .t cn his dressing table, and then sudtleuJy he gave a quick cry of horror and rushed out io tho light. "I have been struck by a snake," he gasped, and his face was deadly pale. "Where is it? Quick! Show me!" I exclaimed as I whipped out my knife.

He held out his right arm. There was no mark on the hand, which I examined critically, but on the cuff of the shirt were two tiny scratchlike punctures and two little globules of poison sinking into the starched linen, and leaving a sickly, greenish yellow mark. "You've had a close call, old mail," I exclaimed, with a great sigh of relief, "and I think you need a peg to brace up your nerves. But first let us settle the prinlr\

We found him coiled., up'on a small mirror which lay on the table, and an ugly looking devil he was, too, ready to strike again.

He was a very poisonous snake known as the Deboae russelli, but after my friend had finished wrth him it would have been difficult for any naturalist to have placed him in his proper genus.— W. A. Fraser in Detroit Free Press..

Hungary's Millennial.

From many points of view one of the most remarkable celebrations in history is to take place next year, when the kingdom of Hungary will observe its millennium as a state. For 1,000 years the brave Magyars have maintained their national existence, and they have accomplished feats of which any nation might be proud. "The millennial celebration," says the Buffalo Commercial, "is to last through the entire year, boginning on Jan. 1, 1896, and ending oply on the following Dec. 31. It will be divided into three parts, each commemorating an epoch in the history of the country. The celebration will open with a session of the two houses of parliament in the new hall at Budapest, which is about completed at a cost of 16,000,000 florins. "Next will come the opening of the Pantheon in the capital city, when hundreds of busts and statues of the national heroes and eminent men and women of the last thousand years will be placed in Hungary's valhalla. This will be followed by the inauguration of the new Museum of Art and History, built at a cost of 3,600,000 florins, the laying of the cornerstones of two new bridges to span the Danube at Budapest and the dedication of three other great public buildings, the Palace of Justice, the Exhibition hall and the Museum of Artistic Handiwork. Still further to indicate the beginning of anew era, in the spring two sections of the older part of the city will be remodeled on hygienic principles, and 500 nov." public schools throughout the country will be opened."

Harder Than Steel..

Des Moines has a modern Tubal Cain in the person of S. R. Dawson, who claims to have discovered the lost art of making "Damascus steel." He has exhibited, in Chicago some samples of cutler^ made from the metal which had an edge keener and smoother than a steel razor. This was, demonstrated by a microscope and photography. The new metal is a combination of copper and tin and two other elements which Mr. Dawson keeps secret. A dagger made from it looked like polished gold. Mr. Dawson claims to be a lineal descendant «f Ralph Hogge, who cast the first iron cannon made in England, and his ancestors on both his father's and mother's sides have been workers in iron and steel. He says his discovery is partly accident, but primarily the reward of yeai of labor, research and experiment He claims that the new steel or hardened copper-is suitable for any kind of cutlery from a common poeketknife to the most delicate surgical instrument, and that no deleterious oxide (rust) forms on it under most severe tests. Any steel drill forced against it when it is hardened will break.—Burlington Free Press.

Swinburne as Poet laureate

The rumor is revived that Swinburne is to be made poet laureate. That would be a grand thing to do, especially^after his writing the magnificent verses on Cromwell, reproduced recently in an editorial column of this journal. No act would win for Lord Salisbury the regard of English nonconformity as that, and it would attest an attribute of greatness whioh. not all have conceded to the present premier.—Christian Work.

WHERE DR. TALMAGE WILL PREACH.

Interesting History of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington. The First Presbyterian church of Washington is a historic building, and its-history jfr cfoselr^dsptifiea with the great Americans of early days and the beginnings of onr government. The first meeting place of the church was a carpenter shop in the grounds of the White Honse, which was being used during the erection of that building in 1795. The shop, as well as the White House itself, was then known as way up town, and, in fact, in the woods. In those days, according to accounts, Mrs. Adams, the wife of the president, used to have her clothesline stretched across theeast room. The Adamses occasionally attended the little carpenter's church near them in the woods. After the completion of the White House in 1802, and the little carpenter shop was torn down, tho congregation which had been formed there met in an old building which was used as a schoolliouse, near the northeast corner of Tenth and streets.

After that' they removed to what was then known as "the academy east," near the present site of the Washington navy yard. Up to this time Dr. Sunderland, the present pastor, said that the church was a kind of nomadic institution, the congi-egation orshiping where they might. When the large block on First street, northeast, was built, consisting now of three private residences, but then used i'or the sessions oi congress while the capitol was in process of building, the elders of the. church obtained leave to meet there on Sunday and also in the room of the supreme court in the basement of the capitol, where their firstcommunion was observed. The pastor of the church at this time was John Brackenridge, who served unitl 1819. While occupying the room of the supreme court in the basement of the capitol they determined to erect a church to the south of the capitol. This was subsequently done, and the church was first occupied in 1812. It was known for a long time as "The Little White Chapel Under the Hill." It is on Pennsylvania avenue, between First street and South Cam to], where some of its walls, still standing, are buried by the debris deposited there.

In the course of time, the congregation increasing and the city growing to the west and north, it was decided to purchase the site of the present church on Four and a Half street on which to erect a larger edifice. It was dedv.'nt'*! December, 1827, at which time the Rev. Reuben Pest us ih#» pastor. nv.iin audience room was entered directly from the street between four massive pillars, which formed a porch, and is the portion now used as the Sunday school. The auditorium extended 60 feet to the west, where a line old mahogany pulpit stood, reached bv a flight of circular steps on either side Back of the pulpit was a window recess hung with scarlet damask curtains. A gallery extended on three sides of the auditorium. There was no osgan, only a huge bass viol. Side lights furnished the lnunnnation, and the old clmreh was a n?.Ost picturesque- place.

Dr. Sunderland became the pastor in 1853, and in 1860 the church was much enlarged and put iuto the condition in which it is at present. It is now a large, well lighted edifice, well fiiteu and furnished, and the audience hall, with good acoustic properties, is particularly inviting to a pastor. The roll of membership is not large, nor has it ever been, although it has contained the names of many noted public men. The first record, 80 years ago, shows a membership of 35. In 1853 the roll of mem bers was 269. During the pastorate the whole number of names added to the roll was 1,126, of whom 1,051 have been removed by dismission, exclusion or death, leaving 344 as the present membership. If an estimate were made of the aggregate number of church members from the beginning, it would probably not be more than 2,000, while the number of pewholders would reach 3,000 or 4,000. In this number there have been, many men and women of prominence i% church and state.

During the four years of civil war, situated as it was. al the very center of dissension, although the capital of the Union, the church was foremost for the government and emancipation. In July, 1863, it was the scene of a great conference, when Dr. Massey of London presented an address from the French and English clergy on the question of emancipation and the issues of the pending struggle. One of the most notable and farreaching events in the history of the church occurred in the winter of 1866. The late Hon. Frederick Douglass then delivered from the pulpit his lecture on the life and death of Lincoln. It was the only door then open to him in Washington. It cost the church dearly among certain classes of people who had been its supporters, but it was the first step to establish the prestige of free speech for the colored people as a race in this country.—Washington Cor. Hew York Sun.

The R-inner of Light is, as every oue knows,one of the most successful denominational publications issued in this country.

In its 77th volume it is at once conservative aud bright, discussing not only modern Spiritualism, but frequently landing its influence fearlessly in matters of public importance outside its principal field.

Mr. Johu VV. JJay, wno is the editor and one ol the proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows "to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound: "I owe you a debt of gratitude in placing the market such a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Paines' celery compound. It was brought to my notice by a friend who had himself been greatly relieved by its use, as I have also been. "I have frequently taken occasion to commend Pniue's celery comx'ouud to others, and I do not know an instance wherein, if faithfully tried, it has not worked a benefit. "Yours truly, John W. Day."
