Presence of Mind In ths Face ef a Terrible Danger. One of the strangest incidents of Hie 601)0)- rebellion is told by William Korbe Mitchell in his "Horn-tniscom-M f the Grent ' Mutiny."

' Mr. Mivno'-l, who was Bcrgeunt of n

high In -I rotrinient, had tue misfortmip iluriiif! n battlo to loso tho gretc.):it v.hich every soldier carried ol.k'il in what Mas known ns a "Crinu'Mii roll" nnd strapped to the shoulders in such n nuinner that it croml the breast: Many a man owed his life to the fact that bullets became epent in passing through these rolls. It happened that in the heat of tho light my roll was cut right through where the two ends were fastened together by the stroko of a keen edged t 'lwar, which was intended to cut A3 the day was warm, I was rather glad to get rid of it, but by 10 o'clock at night thoro was a differ

ence in temperature, nnd when I jwas relieved from patrol duty nnd wanted to lie down to sleep I felt the cohl, wet grass anything but j comfortable, for a kilt is not tho jmost suitable article of dress on a I cold November night in upper Ini dia.

My company vrn encamped in and "about tho tomb of the first king of Ondh. A large inclosure surrounded the building of the tomb itself, and on the inside of this were small room built for the accommodation of .pilgrims. Wien I entered the inclosure I noticed these apartments and asked permission to sleep in one of them, but was refused. I had to make tho best of my position, but was too uncomfortable to sleep. It struck me that some of tho senoya might havo dropped their blankets in their hurried departure. With this hope I went into ono of the rooms where a lamp was burning, took it off the shelf and walked to the door of the great domed mosque or tomb. I peered into the dark, but could see nothing, so I advanced slowly, holding the lamp over my head, looking cautiously around until I was in the center of the great vault, where my progress was obstructed

by a big black heap about four or five feet high, which felt to my feet like loose eond.

I lowered my lamp nnd discover

ed I was standing ankle deep in

loose gunpowder. About forty hundredweight oflit lay under my nose, and a hast glance around showed me twenty or thirty barrels of the tame substance, over a hundred eight-inch shells, all loaded and with 'fuses fixed, and a profusion of spare fuses nnd slow matches lying

about. I took in my danger at a glance. There I wan, up to my knees nearly In gunpowder, with a naked light in my hand. My hair literally stood On cud, and my knees knocked together. Cold perspiration broks out all over me. I had neither cloth nor handkerchief in my pockt with which to extinguish my light, and the next moment might

te my iat, ior vne overnangmg wick already threatened to send the smoldering red top to my feet, with consequences too dreadful to contemplate. Quick as thought I put ray left hand under tho down dropping flame and, clasping it firmly, 6lowly

turned to the door.

Fear eo overcame all other sen

sation that I felt no pain of the burn until I was outside. Then it was sharp enough. I poured the oil

from the lamp into my burned hand. Then I knelt down and thanked God.

Next I staccered to Captain Daw

son and told him. lie did not be-

liete me and told me I had waked

up from a dream. I showed him the

powder still sticking on my wet

feet. He instantly roused the sleeping men and quenchod every spark of fire on the premises.

THE ATTIC INSTINCT.

Embarrassing For the Lecturer.

Civilized people when they listen

to a lecturo on some abstruso seien

tide subject applaud ercn if they do

not understand. But there is eri

dently moro frankness among savage, according to a story told by Captain Guy Burrows. A white man

on craning tried to explain to

sent members or an African tribe, tha Mobunghi, the wonders of the itoara engine and steamship. He

drew diagrams on tho sand, and the audienca listened and looked with

apparently intense interest. At las

ho asked his hearers whether they

understood. "es, they replied they thought they did.

"There was a deep silence," Cap-

tail Burrows said, ' for Borne time.

and then a voice in the center o

the crowd expressed the unspoken

sentiments of the whole assembly in

one emphatic word, uttered in a

tone of tho deepest conviction Liar!" Embarrassing for the lecturarr

Why Seme Pereoru Cling to Thlnga

That Are Rubbich. The attic instinct hangs on surpriaingly, and an observing eye can tell how many years a person has

lived in the city by merely glancing

under her Iwd. If thero aro three hat boxoa ono will contain letters, one scraps of ribbons and laces if it's a man it's newspaper clippings and ono anything from a broken lock to old road maps. If, besides these, there are bundles of magazines and piles of newspapers, not to mention s bicycle seat und a green umbrella that ono might uso m privato theatricals if all these tilings havo been placed under tho bed against the protests of the family, if they aro patiently moved every cleaning day and clung to through a moving, then their ownera have tho attic instinct to such an extent that there is not the slightest hope of their ever being cured. They will think from an attic point of view for the rest of their lives, and their family might as well becomo resigned. When poople are willing to make themselves disagreeable over n bit of string and absolutely objectionable on the subject of stray pieces of brown paper they should not be accused of having bad dispositions, nor should they be suspected of doing it to annoy one. They nre merely suffering from the attic instinct and ennnot help themselves. J Their characters were formed and have now hardened for a scheme of life where certain things were al

ways kept in the collar, others inj tho wood shed, others in the pantry' and the cupboard on the first floor, still others in the closets on the next floor, and everything and anything that overflowed from any of, these places waa just taken up to tho attic. And now these poor dear souls live with a cellar, threo stories and an attic still lodged in their minds, and, though they will in time disappear, liko all unnecessary members seventh too, tails, an appendix in the meantimo they are having trouble with them, they are suffering and fighting' for them, and it takes a serious operation to remove so much as one scrap book if the owner thinks he may like to read it over in his old age.

What Attracted the Attention ef xne

Solemn Faced Man. One of our southern salesmen

brought homo the following from

ns last trip: Tho prourietor of a tnnvard built

a Btand on one of the main streets of a Virginin town for tho purpose

of selling lcnthcr and buying new hides.

When ho had comnleted the build

ing, he considered for a long time l 1 a m I A . L X . A

wnat sort or a iign 10 pui up to at

tract attention to tho new establish- (

tnent. Finally a happy thought

struck him.

He bored an auger hole through

tho doorpost and stuck a calf's tall

into it with the tufted end outside.

After awhile ho saw a solemn

faced man standing near tho door looking at the sign. Tho tanner watched him a minute and then

stepped ou and addressed him.

"Good morning, sir I" ho said. ,fMorningI" said the other, with

out taking his eyes off the eign.

"Want to buy leather?" asked the

tanner.

"No." "Got Any hides to sell?" "No." "Aro you a farmer?" "No i Merchant ?" j, . . "No." . i ' , lawyer?'' f g ' "Doctor?" "No." "What aro you, then?" "I am a philosopher. -I've been standing hero for an hour trying to figure out how that calf got through that auger hole." Boot Strap. Necessary Then.

Mrs. Hounkeep, "that pu never do
