Strange Case of Disappearance. The numerous mysterious disappearances which have been reported to the police in the past few weeks in this country recall some remarkable cases that occurred a few years ago in Europe. One of these the disappearance of a Chestlr governess bears a striking resemblance to a famous case which occurred in the middle of the last century. A domestic servant named Elizabeth Canning suddenly disappeared from her home at Aldermanbury about 9 o'clock on the first right of 1753. There was not the slightest clue to her whereabouts, and every search made for her was in vain. Special prayers were offered in churches that the girl might return to her home. Four weeks passed, and then, on Jan. 29, hungry and half- clad, the girl knocked at her mother's door. She told an amazing story to the effect that she had been carried off by gypsies to a lonely house, where she had been starved and cruelly treated by an old woman, and at length two gypsies were arrested. They appeared before Henry Fielding, the novelist, who was at that time a magistrate at Bow street, and were afterwards sentenced at the Old Bailey one to be hanged, and the other to be burned in the hand. The lord mayor was, however, by no means satisfied as to the truth of the girl's ritory. and caused fresh inquiries to be set afoot. The whole town was moved, and the people were split up into "Canningites" and "Gypsyites." just as France is now divided" ever the Dreyfus case. It created as much excitement throughout the country as the Tcborne case, and ultimately the girl vas tried at the Old Bailey for perjury. The gypsies were set free, and after a trial cf eight days, in which thirty-seven witnesses on one side contradicted twenty-seven on the other, Elizabeth Canning was transported for seven years. But nobody ever found tut where she had spent those four weeks. The disappearance of the Archduke Johann, cf Austria, is, perhaps, the strangest story in the strange annals of the Austrian court. There are those who believe the archduke to be alive today, but his fate will probably remain a mystery. He married an opera singer in London, in spite of the fact that he was a nephew of the reigning emperor, and set sail from Liverpool for South America. in a ship which he bought and christened after his wife. The vessel was reported from Montevideo, Lut since that time nothing has been either heard or seen of the archduke. He has disappeared into space, and although repeated searches have been made by order of the Austrian emperor and the Hungarian government, no news has been received of his whereabouts since, many years ago, his ship was seen at Montevideo. His mother, who died not long ago, believed at the time of her death that her son was still alive. The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Sir Arthur Curtis, a Hampshire baronet, are very peculiar. He left England with a gold mining party bound for Klondike, and disappeared from the camp after soma trifling dispute about the cooking. He left the camp on foot, without food or weapons, it a place fifty miles from any other habitaiton. A thorough search was made, but no trace could be found of the missing baronet, and Lady Curtis has obtained leave to presume that he is dead. But it is quite within the bounds cf possibility that the baronet may walk into his house one of these days. Training Horses to Face Fire. In the British army the four-legged recruits are drawn up in a Ving round an instructor who fires a pistol. Some take the flash and report very quietly, and these are sion passed on to severer trials, while the others have lesson after lesson until they are quite convinced that there is no danger to them, end before long you might fire a 7-pounder within a yard of them and they would hardly lor around. After this they are taught to face fire that Is to say, to gallop fearlessly up to a line or square of Infantry, blazing away with their rifles, and to charge batteries of quickfiring guns. Of course, only blank cartridges are used, and so to a trained horse going into battle for the first time there is no difference betwesn the harmless thunder of the maneuvers and the death-dealing strm which sweeps over a battlefield. Th9

poor brute only learns what the differ- ' ence really is by bitter experience. When smokeless powder came into

general use it was found that In many cases horses which would face the smoke of guns using black powder without flinching flinched and shied at the fiash and roar unaccompanied by smoke. Continental opinion is somewhat divided as to the moral effect of smokeless powder on men and horse3, but the general conclusion seems to be that in daylight it is not more terrifying than black powder, although some hold that to see men and horses struck down by an invisible agency must necessarily be so. But it is generally agreed that the use of smokeless powder at night has a much more disturbing effect than that of the old powder, because the flashes of the guns, unobscured by smoke, are a great deal moro vivid. The fear thus inspired can, however, be overcome by training; but there is another fear which must, in the nature of the case, be felt for the first time cn the battlefield, and that is the often uncontrollable terror produced both in men and horses by the whistling of bullets and the screaming and banging of shells. Some authorities have, indeed, said that since the introduction of smokeless powder and the great increase in the range and accuracy of weapons, it would be impossible to keep cavalry in hand under the fire of modern artillery, but this is probably a;; exaggeration. The Mystery of Dreams. On an occasion during the civil war I dreamed that I was standing beside a road when there came marching along it a strong column of prisoners with guards, at intervals, on the flanks. I asked one of these guards who the prisoners were and where they had been captured. He informed me that they !:ad been taken in an engagement with the enemy on the day before, and that there were nineteen hundred of them. I then asked some bystander what day of the month it was, and was told that it was such a day of a certain month, some six weeks later than the date of the dream. The whole dream was extremely distinct, and it made a strong imp:ession on me. I related it to a number of my comrades within the next few days, ant' then thought of it no more. Six weeks later, on the morning of the very day that had been mentioned in the dream as the date when the column of prisor?rs had passed before me, I was on picket two miles distant from the point where I had seemed to be when I saw them. It was soon after breakfast, and I was standing by the side of the road at the fire, talking to the officer of the picket, when an aide to the commanding general came riding down the road. He had been a schoolfellow of our officer's at West Point, and reined up when he recognized his friend. He told us that hs had good news, that there had been a sharp engagement with the enemy the day before, and that our people had captured nine een hundred prisoners, who had jiu-t passed the headquarters that morning on their way to the rear. New York Tost. A Stenographer's I Vat. From the London Telegraph: Concerning the stenographic prowess of the late Thomas Allen Reed, whose death was recorded in these columns yesterday, a correspondent sends a curious anecdote. The late shorthand writer was once on professional business in Liverpool, and stayed in the same hotel as Charles Mathews, the actor. The latter had appeared in "My Awful Had," and after the performance he strolled into the smoking room. Having heard of Mr. Heed's expertness as a note taker Mat!.ew3 challenged the reporter to jot down certain passages from the character of Puff in Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "Critic." Reed expressed his willingness to have a try. Mathews, who was one cf the best "patter" speakers on the stage, began to gabble the lines with startling rapidity, and the other strained every nerve to follow him. When the test was finished Reed, whose notes, despite the terrific speed at which he had been writing, were of neat and legible outline, merely inserted a vowel mark or two and handed them to an assistant who was called into the room, and who transcribed the characters with but few mistakes backward! "I should hardly have thought it posible, Mr. Reed!" was the astonished Charles Mathews' comment. Fong-I.lved Prime Ministers Speaking of Lord Salisbury, who entered on his 70th year February 3, the London News says for a British statesman he can hardly yet be considered an old man. He is younger than Sir William Harcourt by some three years, and he has colleagues in his cabinet who are his seniors. Moreover, measured by the duration of the life of the queen's prime ministers, his career should have still many years to run. The tares of office seem to be favorable to longevity. Peel's career was short by a tiagedy, and Melbourne did not live to a great age. Other of her majesty's premiers, however Lord Aberdeen, Lord John Russell. Lord Palmerston. Lord Derby. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli, all exceeded the allotted three-score years and ten. Lord Salisbury is one of the oldest members of parliament. having entered the Commons so far back as 1S.V! as Conservative member for Stamford. Tarnest Femelery in (he World. The largest cemetery in the world is at Rockwood. Australia, the extenf of it being 1.400 acres. It was originally 2,000 acres, but was reduced, owing to COO acres of it being handed over to a large benevolent asylum. About 200 acres are already occupied with the bodies of 100,000 persons of all nationalities. A railway runs through the cemetery, having two mortuary stations, at which the friends alight and follow the remains to their last resting place. The greatest city of the dead in the world is at Rome, viz., the Catacombs, in which no fewer than 6,000,000 human beings have been buried. These Catacombs are under - "o.uuiiu ti i - f Ieries, which extend for miles in all dlrections.and it has been calculated that if the galleries of the largest could ba extended in a straight line they wou! reach more than 200 miles.

STOKE POGES WORSHIP HOUSE.

When the eye of sense falls for tne first time upon a scene hitherto beheld by the eye of imagination, there often comes a painful feeling of disenchantment; it is better to have lived in the glow of that "light whuh never was on sea or land." But Stoke Togos, the onetime home of Gray, anu the villas whence he derived the nature-framework of his "Elegy," loses little by being transferred from the realm of fancy to the world of the actual. True, the village church yard looks as if it were almost on the way to becoming an urban cemetery; the gravel path from the lich-gate to the quaint old church appears to have been laid out with a ruler, and the glaring white tombstones, which are clustering so thickly near the entrance, speak little for the taste of the living, whatever, they may do for the dead beneath. Apart from these discords, the scene is altogether such as one would expect to find it. There can be no question that these were the images which hovered in the mind of the poet as he slowly built up his verse. Seen in the pensive evening hours, when the fading light blurs that sharp detail which is fatal to imaginary dreamings, and creates such an atmosphere as that in which Corot loved to dwell, each object in this quiet God's-acre recalls its own special descriptive line; and there is no want of harmony between the picture before the eye and that which dwells in the brain. Under the shadow of the "ivy-mantled tower," whence the descendants of the moping owl still complain to the moon, the poet himself sleeps in his nameless tomb. By his side lie his mother and aunt, in whose little home at West End a mile and a half across the fields he spent so many happy vacation hours. Although Gray's tomb in the church yard is without an inscription personal to him. there is a small tablet on the church wall opposite directing the pilgrim where to pay his devotions. In the adjoining meadow, however, there is a ponderous cenotaph which John Penn. one time owner of Stoke Manor, caused to be erected to the poet's memory in 1799. Three of the sides are inscribed with quotations from Gray's AN UNEXPLODED BLAST. llie Cartridge Mas Not Kxuctly the Proper Thing. "I was employed on the construction Rork of the Guatemala Northern some years ago," fcaid a civil engineer to a New Orleans Times-Democrat reporter, "and one day we had a bit of blasting to do to get rid of a spurt of granite that ran acioss the line. Just as the hole was drilled for the charge I was called away for something or other, and left the rest of the job in the hands of a native assistant, telling him where he would find a dynamite cartridge in a box in my tent. When I returned the gang were standing around looking worried and puzzled, and my assistant told me that the cartridge lrad failed to explode. It is a ticklish piece of work to get at a stick of dynamite under such circumstances, but I had the tamping removed as carefully as possible and put in a new primer. That, loo, very much to my surprise failed to ignite the charge, and as the workmen refused point blank to go near the spot I had to pick out the tamping myself. I did so with my heart in my mouth.

This is a picture of a yagouarondi and his alter ego, an eyra-cat. recent acquisitions of the Berlin Zoological Garden which are exciting the liveliest interest among the professors of natural history just now. The first is a present of Peter Neumann, proprietor of a large plantation near Buenos Ayres; the other, also a native of South America, was brought to Hamburg by a sailor. Zoologists probably know less about these particular wildcats than about any of the 300 other kinds described by Brehm and other writers. And right here it may be pointed cut that Brehm was probably mistaken about both of them. He stated that the yagouarondi he longed to the puma kind and that the eyra was the link between marten and cat. Professor Matschie, after a thorough study of the living animals, now publishes an elaborate paper denying this. He says both animals belong to the feline race, but have nothing In common with either the puma or the marten. "They may be right cousins, though," he adds, "but that cannot be ascertained for certain until their skeletons are at the disposal of scientists. " These South American strangers are about three inches higher than the big-

verse, the fourth bears the history of the monument ?nd perpetuates Mason's mistake as to the date of the poet's death. Stoke Manor, a picturesque old house in a field to the north of the church, is of interest as having been the scene of Gray's "Long Story" and finally disclosed the cartridge. The stuff comes, as you know, in cylindrical sections, like short, fat tallow candles, and something about this particular piece struck me as looking queer. 1 fished it out and immediately ! said things that wouldn't sound well in a Sunday school book.

When excited every hair of their body stands on end, thus making the animal look twice as large as it is. The fur of both is long, thick and the color of a chestnut so it appears at least as long as they are in repose. When, however, the yagouarondi is approached, which causes the fierce cat to bristle up, he turns from brown to gray. The tips of his fur and the part nearest the skin are white, and these white parts become conspicuous when the hair stands straight up. Mr. Neumann and the sailor from whom the Zoological Garden got the cats report having caught them in wild, rocky and thickly wooded country. The animals were trapped, but none of their limbs was broken. They are naturally great prowlers, and the fiery energy they display when attacked Is astonishing. In Berlin they are lodged in a cage having a rocky background. In day time they lie In a cleft, stirring only when somebody approaches near enough to come seemingly within reach of their claws. These claws and their teeth, too, are extremely powerful for so small an animal. When darkness comes they jump to

A Street I'avetl with filiiss. Not satisfied with cobulestones and wood, the city of Lyons, in France, has been experimenting with glass as a street pavement. Since last November the Rue de la Republinue has been paved with devitrified glass. This new product is obtained from broken glass heated to a temperature of 1,250 degrees and compressed in matrices by hydraulic force. The glass pavement is laid in the form of blocks, eight inches square, each block containing sixteen parts in the form of checkers. Those blocks are so closely fitted together that water cannot pass between them, and the whole pavement looks like one gigantic draught-board. As a pavement it is said to have greater resistance than stone, it is a poor conductor of cold, and ice will not form on it readily; dirt does not accumulate upon it so easily as upon stone, and it will not retain microbes. It is more durable than stone and just as cheap. Home Maid. Wilkins Deuced pretty girl I saw a. your window. Is she foreign? Bilkins No; a domestic. Brooklyn Life.

The meat is placed on the branch of a small tree standing in the middle of the cage, and the animals spring upon it savagely. Twice they got a feast to satisfy the zoologists' thirst for knowledge. The first time four live chickens were put in the cage. The cats thereupon jumped from their cleft to the tree and from there launched themselves upon their victims, one after another, biting their heads off and sucking their blood. The rest of the body they didn't touch. For the second experiment fullgrown rabbits were selected, and yagouarondi and eyra made a leap, fastened their teeth into the throat of the rabbits, and turning the little fellows on their backs, sucked their blood in long, slow draughts. That done, they ate the head, and for the rest of the night walked fiercely up and down the cape sniffln; in th corners and looking as if they wanted more of this particular diet.

He left a letter for the proprietor of the shop, saying that he intended to take morphine and then jump into the lake. Search has been made near the pier and the lake dragged, but no trace has been found of the body. The young man is said to be of respectable family, his father being a bank cashier in Wichita. Iowa. Two boys are said to have seen a man jump from the pier into the lake and have found a hat and coat on the shore, but these boys have not been discovered by the police. Anderson Ktplains Changed Name. Muncie. Ind. Manager George Anderson of the Muncie-Indiana-Illinois league baseball team has written the local papers from Danville, 111., explaining why he assumed the name of Anderson, when his right name was Andy Lawson, a brother to the manager of the Anderson team of the same league. The manager states that he feared that if it was generally known that he and his brother were owner of teams in the same league in such rival towns as Anderson and Muncie people would charge syndicate ball. Cleveland crowds would be fair examples. He managed the Concord ( N. 11.) team last year and the previous season had Lawrence, Mass. His Coiis'U'ii- Hurt Him. Wabash, Ind. A singular instance of a quickened conscience is furnished by Mrs. John G. Smith of Roann. this county.

She never obtained trace of it until today, when she got a draft for the money, with six years' interest, from Richard Remington of Salem, Ore., who explained that he had found the treasure and kept it until his conscience forbade him letaining it. The certificate was never cashed.
