Co., ^ k IN" a little clump of trees, modestly withdrawn from the dusty high road by a couple of hundred yards, and looking uncommonly like a white bandbox dropped by mistake on the hillside, stood the English church at Mutra. It was a squat and insignifi-cant building, quite unworthy to be dignified with so grand a name, and the simplicity of its interior correspond-ed in lack of beauty and decoration with its whitewashed and unadorned outward appearance. The door stood wide open, and Haji Mula, who acted in the amalgamated capacity of clerk, bellringerand church-cleaner, was busy with a broom on the steps of the entrance. A party of peo-ple sauntering along the road below glanced up, attracted by this white-clad figure outlined against the dark doorway. 'Let's go up and explore the, church," said a girl's clear voice; " we shall have the advantage of a few mo-ments' shade at all events, and it will serve to while away the time till tiffin is ready." So saying, she led the way up the narrow pathway through the gate. She was in riding dress, as were also five or six people who accompanied her, and the well-cut habit showed off' to advantage her pretty, rounded figure, while even the unbecoming shape of her sun topi could not entire-ly conceal the charming face of its wearer, and her charming, roguish eyes and laughter-curling lips. I hope your conscience pricks you, Miss Verner, and suggests that this is a fitting moment for some religious exercise," said the man who followed in her footsteps, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed giant, in whose voice the slight burr betrayed the Hibernian extraction. The girl flashed back at him a pro-vocative glance from under her long, dark, curling lashes. "We are part-ners in iniquity, at all events, Capt. Fitzgerald, so you had better come along with me at once and say a little prayer or two on your own behalf." Oh, come now—-" he expostulat-ed; "wasn't it you who threw them together at first, and cast the poor man at the siren's mercy ?" But it was she who betted her she could not succeed in bringing Maj. Brooke to the point. If you had not said that she would never have taken the trouble to lure the unhappy wretch to his fate." They had reached the porch by this time, whence Haji, leaning to the broom, had been steadfastly regarding them; but he resumed his sweeping as they passed on into the church follow-ed by some others of the party; though he kept his solemn eyes still fixed upon two people who lingered by the gate. There a man was talking earnestly to a tall, handsome woman with sparkling black eyes and a splendid figure, who bore herself with the air of an Amazon queen well accustomed to conquest. Gertrude Shawe was in truth an expert in the art of rapid slaughter—she rode roguishly over her victims, carrying away their hearts in trophy without casting one backward glance of pity at them as she went on her way vic-torious. The latest to succumb to her charms was the man beside her, Maj. John Brooke, of the Royal Wessex Regiment, now quartered in the plain beneath, where a white line showed faintly on the line of the horizon some 15 miles away. He was speaking in low, earnest tones to the beautiful woman who leant with smiling in-souciance over the gate, where she carelessly switched her riding whip amongst the shrubs at its side. But his pleading was evidently in vain. I am sorry," she answered, with calm unstudied brevity; "it is im-possible; to tell you the truth there is some one else with a prior and stronger claim." She turned with a light laugh toward hiixi, but it died on her lips as she recognized the meaning of the expres-sion in his grave, gray eyes. You mean to say that you have played with me, Miss Shawe?" he said with bitterness; " n o doubt the game has proved an amusing one to you—to me it appears but a poor jest." I am sorry," she reiterated, this time with an increase of hauteur added to her voice; then turning abruptly she passed slowly up the path away from him. She stood for a moment within the doorway looking into the empty church and listening to the sound of laughter mixed with loud expostulat-ing voices, which evidently emanated from the vestry beyond the altar, in her eyes a look of triumph mingled with a struggling expression of annoy-ance, which in a less assured person might have suggested a feeling of some self-contempt. " What are you all doing in here?" she asked a moment later, from the vestry roor. The group of people with-in turned startled gla,nces toward her and a sudden silence fell upon them; then Capt. Fitzgerald closed a heavy book lying before him on the table with an emphatic bang. "Oh, I 'm sick of this!" cried Maud Verner, springing from her seat beside him; "let's travel! tiffin must be ready by this time. I'll race you all to the bungalow." And away she went like a wild thing out of the church, follow-ed by the whole pack of her giddy, jest-ing companions. They melted out of sight in a few minutes, leavihg Haji and the church once more to their accus-tomed dignified repose. Mrs. Brooke put down her teacup with an air of puzzled surprise. " A year ago ! but how did you know about me then ?" she asked, in a re-flective tone. " I t was very curious, quite a coincl dence, in fact," replied her companion "Do you know we were married the same place and church, and on the same day of the month, September 13. only with a lapse of a year between our wedding days. I had been awfully ill so they sent up there to fetch me, and we were married at Mutra, and went straightaway to England." For a moment Mrs. Brooke remain ed silent. She still appeared mystified "But I don'.t think I quite under-stand you, Mrs. Agar," she said hesitatingly, at last. She was an ashy, pretty little woman, and did not wish to appear irresponsive to her com-panion's expression of interest. They both quite lately arrived at Bangalore; had met a couple of times before this, and had speedily struck up the prelim-inaries of a strong friendship. " I am afraid I 'm dreadfully ignor-ant," she continued. " I don't even know where Mutra is, but I have an idea Jack was quartered there before I met liini in Bombay." "But .surely I could not be mistaken, protested Mrs. Agar, it was evidently her turn now to be surprised. "Were you .not married at Mutra two years ago, in that little white church on the hill?" Mrs. Brooke shook her head. " Well, it is very extraordinary !" said her friend, staring at her with an incredulous smile on her face. But why do you ask? What makes you think I was married at Mutra?" demanded Mrs. Brooke. " I read the names there myself, in the register, they came just before us, and the page was so terribly blotted and smudged that it attracted our attention. September 13 was the date—John Ormsby Brooke , to Gertrude Emilia Shawe, and then the names of the wit-nesses." "My husband's name is certainly John Ormsy Brooke; but I was Alice Mainwaring, and we were married six months ago in Bombay, where I was living with my sister, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, who is married to Jack's cousi n; and I met my husband in their house just after I came out from old England. Dear old Jack! I shall chaff him about this, and tell him he has got another wife at Mutra. But it is curious about the name. I did not know there was another John Ormsby Brooke in existence. I am sure he can't be a patch on my .lack !" She laughed, and changed the subject; but Mrs. Agar had become suddenly pen-sive, the conversation flagged, and soon after Mrs. Brooks took her departure. That evening Mrs. Agar repeated their conversation to her husband and a few friends who were dining with them. "Deuced odd!" he commented, "I remember the names distinctly; and when we pointed out the blots to the padre, he remarked that it must have been the last .ceremony at which his predecessor could have officiated, for he had been killed out riding a few days later. The Wessex Regiment was quar-tered near Mutra before it came here," remarked a thin, yellow-faced man sitting next Mrs. Agar, "and Sir Reginald Shawe was in command there at that time. This daughter was a notorious flirt, a regular man-eater, and poor old Lord Mendip will have a live-ly time of it with her !" Oh, of course !" interposed a buxon lady on the other side of the table. " I wondered why the name seemed familiar. Gertrude Shawe was the handsome girl who was so much talked about last year at Poona; she is going to marry that dreadful old Lord Men-dip, who, they say followed her out there from England. I know her name is Gertrude, because someone at Poona made up a silly rhyme about " 'A young lady named Gertie Whose conduct was flirty.' " The next day, when John Brooke entered the club he was buttonholed by the yellow-faced man, the greatest scandalmonger in Bangalore. " I say, old chap, what's this strange and horrible tale of bigamy that's go-ing the round of Bangalore? Sly dog, married at Mutra; handsome woman, tool, Miss Gertrude Shawe! shows your good taste. But how comes it that she's to become my .Lady Mendip while you've provided yourself with another Mrs. Brooke?" Major Brooke was at first inclined to resent what he considered simply a piece of pleasantry in somewhat bad taste; but when Mr. Agar was sum-moned reluctantly from the corner, where he was reading, to give his evidence, then his perplexity and con-sternation grew in proportion to his inability to give either a satisfactory refutation or explanation of the matter. Yes, he had certainly been at Mutra at that time, September 13, two years before. And with a pang of humilia-tion, he recalled that moment by the church gate, and seemed again to hear the coldly mocking words, " I 'm sorry." With a mind filled with anxious forebodings, and with a feeling of some dismay, he hurriedly left the club and rode toward his home. "Matters seem likely to become a trifle complicated," said the yellow-faced man with distinct satisfaction, as he saw him take his departure. • ' I wish to God we had held our tongues," muttered Mr. Agar, who was a kindly, good-natured civilian, on good terms with himself and the rest of the world. " Gad," replied his companion, " his wife's a charming little woman; strikes me we'd be doing her a bad turn if we let matflfers slide, and Lord Mendip wouldn't thank us, either, for keeping j silent on the subject." The ball once set rolling went swift-ly on its way. The buxom lady who had been present the night before at Agars' dinner repeated the story, with additions and fuller details on her own account, to her- sixteen of twenty dearest friends in Bangalore. Then everybody was startled to hear that little Mrs. Brooke had suddenly gone off to join her sister in Bambay, and the tongue of scandal wagged in still more strident fashion on receiving that piece of news. John Brooke went about with a face that looked as if it were carved out of stone. Hi had written at once to Mutra, and awaited the reply with helpless presentiment of impending disaster. One day h i was sitting - in the veranda at her house, talking to Mrs Agar, who from the first had shown the deepest sympathy toward these two persons into whose home she had un-intentionally been the means of casting the apple of discord. A servant brought out a card to her, she looked at it curiously, while the man said Lady wants to see you, very import-ant !" Mrs. Fitzgerald! I wonder who she is," murmured Mrs. Agar. A clear, bell-like voice sounded on the threshold, and a very pretty wo-man came toward them saying, SCARING A SAINT. intruding. I am " Then catch- Brooke she cried, I say must apologize for a stranger to you-ing sight of John 1 Oh, Major Brooke ! what can to you, what can I do? It was all my own fault—I wrote it in the book-am so miserable, so utterly ashamed of myself!" and hiding her face in her hands, the Maud Verner of Mutra days sank into a seat and sobbed convulsive-ly. Confession, they say, is good for the soul, but it was an exceedingly bitter hour that followed for the frivolous, thoughtless girl, who had traveled there from Mutra to offer herself as scapegoat for a wrong-doing in which others had participated, less unworldly and impulsive than herself. So sincere was evidently her desire to make amends for the thoughtless though dangerous piece of mischief in which she had been the principal de-linquent, that unstinted forgiveness was extended to her by the Brookes. What Miss Gertrude Shawe may have thought on the subject history telleth not; but a full confession, signed and delivered to her and Major Brooke, satisfied all parties concerned;. the mat-ter was judiciously hushed up; Alice Brooke returned joyfully to her hus-band at Bangalore; and another nine days' wonder sooh distracted and monopolized the ever busy uoice of scandal. In the marriage register at Mutra a memorandum affirms that one entry that had been made in error; and thus ended without further disaster a matter which, commenced in jest, might in future years have assumed the grim aspect of a crime. How one of Scliweinfurth's Fol-lowers Tried to Work a Community About half a century ago a queer re-ligious imposter of the Schweinfurth stripe invaded the southeastern part of Ohio, and for several months created a great deal of excitement throughout that section. Several well-to-do farmers gave all their earthly possessions to the new "Messiah," and he soon became the center of quite a colony of deluded followers. One midnight night in June the 'messiah" was sitting in the veranda of his Ohio " h e a v e n " smoking a pipe— for he considered it not beneath his dignity to enjoy the pleasures of this life as he went along. A shrewd, hard headed old farmer who lived a mile or two down the road came shuffling up the walk and respectfully doffing his straw hat said: "Good evenin', mis ter." " I salute you, brother," responded the messiah, without rising from his seat or ceasing to send thé tobbacco smoke upward. " You'll excuse me mister," continued the old man, but my folks have taken quite an interest in you and my wife is dead set on standin' right by you through thick and thin." "Amei>!" ejaculated the "messiah.' "Now, see here," added the farmer. I 'm a good deal worried about this thing and I want you to give it to me straight." Yea, verily, brother, that will do," replied the smoker. Well, how about all this anyway ? Is it true that you can perform mir-acles— turn water into wine heal the sick, walk on the water and do such things as that ?" "Yea, verily." " You ain't jokin' ?" "Nay, brother." "And you can really do it—no mis-take about it?" Nay. » Well," remarked the farmer. " I 'm mighty glad of that. You'll have the greatest chance of your lifetime to con-vert a whole crowd of scoffers to-night. A lot of the boys are gettin' together now, and they'll be put up here in few minutes. If you're dead sure that you can walk on the water you can convert the whole gang, for they're goin' to take you down to Bascom's mill pond to see you do it. But, of course if you have any doubts about it, you know, they won't be here yet for about a quarter of an hour." The caller bowed and went away. The smoking suddenly ceased. And the " messiah " disappeared about.as suddenly as his last puff. Two years, later he was heard from in Penn-sylvania, but he never revisited Ohio. The mystery of his sudden departure was unsolved for many years, but the old Buckeye farmer always chuckled whenever the subject was mentioned. , What. One Woman Thinks. Happiness is a great beautifier. Where there is variety there will be folly. Some people were born to worry. People that are easily satisfied rarely, make much progress. And now the woman who owns a front porch begins to put on airs. Very often the man about whom a girl talks the least is the one she cares for most. Even the bravest woman can't act always as if life were a continual cake-walk. I t is a positive cruelty to give a child a name which will make it the laugh-ing stock of its playmates. The masculine woman is not so new after all. Ciceii) tells us that once the Roman women shaved and applied a lotion to the skin to enable them to grow whiskers. Cradle of t h e J e w i s h Race. The cradle of the Jewish race, we learn from the Jewish World, is about to be " rocked to its very foundations." The cradle is Ur of the Chaldees, which was identified by Sir Henry Rawlinson half a century ago. The rocking will take the shape of excavating the ruins of this inland town, which once was a seaport. The work has become neces-sary, as the natives of Nasarieh, on the opposite side of Euphrates, are quarry-ing bricks from the ruins, and generally betray a vandalistic disposition toward the tablets and inscriptions. A Joke on Posterity. One of the "mysteries" of the British Museum has just been explod-ed. The authorities have opened a box which has lain sealed in the Museum since 1834, and have found that it con-tains— nothing of interest to anyone. Francis Douce, autiquary, died in 1834, leaving the bulk of his curiosities to Oxford, and to the British Museum this precious box, which he stipulated must not be opened until 1900. For 66 years the box has remained intact. Douce left everything worth having to Oxford. —I consider it only a pleasure but a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about the wonderful cure effected in my case by the timely use of Chamber-lain's Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy.

On June 23 next a festival will be held at Mayence to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Gut-enburg, the reputed inventor of the art of printing. In this festival almost all civilized nations will take part, and it is to be hoped that the United States will be dully represented. In con-nection with this festival the founda-tions of a Gutenberg Museum is planned. Encouraging Paternity.

Hereafter in all town of fices first father of more than three children and next married men will be preferred to bachelors. Prizes of $6 will be awarded yearly to those parents who have sent the largest number of children to school regularly, and scholarship in the national schools will be reserved for families only of more than three children. Fathers of families shall also have the preference for admission to almshouses and old people's houses. The Danger o f Docking. An English agricultural journal points out the loss through docking, which is now being sustained by certa.in stock breeders, is becoming serious. The great call remounts for the British army in South Africa will doubtless end this practice. Horses in hot coun-tries are useless if they have not suf-ficient tail to keep of the swarms of flies. It is not only true as regards the young horse, likely to be used for a common trooper, but the higher class animals such as used for chargers by the officers. Distinguished Speakers anil turers will be Provided. The Pennsylvania Chautauqua, at Mt. Gretna, promises to be more en-tertaining than any previous year. Dr. Max Hark, the chancellor, has ar-ranged an excellent program, and some of the most prominent platform speak-ers in the country have been engaged and will appear before Chautauqua audiences. The first week in July will be given over largely to the Sunday school teachers' training school, under the auspicious of the state association, and among the most notable lecturers during the week will be Prof. Edward Howard Griggs. July 4 will be a pa-triotic day. There will be class studies as usual, the morning being mainly given to this work, the afternoons and evenings de-voted to popular entertainments. Among some of the speakers who will be present some time during the as-sembly are Bishop John H. Vincent, of the M. E. church and the father of the Chautauqua idea; Hon. W. II. Hensel, ex-attorney general'of Penn-sylvania; Frank R. Roberson, who is now in South Africa collecting ma-terial and views for a lecture; Rev. Dr. Perrine and Rev. Dr. Harris, both of Bucknell university; Prof. Samuel Schmucker, whose lectures 011 nature have been immensely popular; Con-gressman Brosius, Dr. Frank Starr, of Chicago university, the eminent an-thropologist and traveler, are a few of those who have -been engaged for lectures. There will be two noteworthy lec-tures, "The Wonders of Liquid Air" and " Wireless Telegraphy," with illus-trations, by Prof. Foster, of Temple college, that should attract universal attention. The cooking school will be again in charge of MissColling,who was so much liked last summer. Prof. Crozier and Mrs. Roie Adams Grum-bine will each give piano recitals, while the musical entertainments throughout will be of a very high order. The Chautauqua inn will be in charge of Mrs. Scott, a noted Philadelphia ca-terer, and the cuisine will be excellent. -To avoid the usual fees, George Locher and Ella Baird married them-selves in the presence of the Constable and Commissioner's clerk at Tunkhan-nock. The only expense connected with the ceremony was the 50 cents which had to be paid for the marriage license. . A11 Old Saw That is Senseless. In olden times when a person died it was customary to toll the church bell a certain number of times to indicate whether it was a woman or child, says the Ladies Home Journal. For a woman it was tolled three times. The stroke of a bell was called a " teller," and hence it was nine tellers for a man; as folks said in those days. " Nine tellers mark a man." This saying, which was continued long after the tolling custom was abolished, finally became converted into the present say-ing. "Nine tailors make a man," which is devoid of both sense and rea-son.

A pretty white cat ran up a tree to get away f r om a dog and at last crawled out on a small branch at least CO feet above the ground. The branch was not much more than a twig, and the cat could not turn around. She sat up there on the swaying limb and meowed. At last the twig broke, and down came the cat.

He tossed her into the air, trampled her and kicked her. The aged woman scream-ed, and attracted the attention of her daughter. The girl of fifteen attacked the bull, poking the tines of a fork be-tween his ribs, the fatal stroke sending the prongs into the bull's heart, causing his death. The Union. Steel Co. has purchased 700 acres of land at Webster, a town of 10,000 population started. The largest and most modern rod, wire and nail mill in the country will be erected, and $500,000 has already been expend- . ed in the purchase of property and the erection of buildings. It is the inten-tion to erect two open hearth steel furnaces of 50 tons each. These plants will employ trom 1,500 to 2,000 men. H. C. Frick is interested in the enter-prise. One of the largest verdicts ever rendered by a jury in the local courts, for personal injuries, was that of $47,000 given to Wiliiam F. Walters, a minor, of Philadelphia, in his suit against the Atlantic Refining Company, which was tried before Judge Wiltbank. The boy asked for $50,000, contending that through the negligence of the company in allowing a can of acid to remain in a dangerous locality, an explosion oc-curred which permanently blinded him. In the William Peun colliery, Shen-andoah, Martin Koten had his back broken by falling coal. After remarking to a friend that he felt quite well, Philip Kirkensner, of Easton, dropped dead on the street. A gas stove exploding set fire to the clothing of Miss Emma Maust, at Bloomsburg, and she was badly burned. A fragment from a bursting emery wheel, at Weaver's Mill, Renova, cut a hole clean through Franklin Kridler's neck, but the man will recover. By a gass explosion at the Green Ridge colliery, near Mount Carmel, William Wagner and Benjamin Dun-cavage were horribly burned, the former perhaps fatally.

Co., ^ k IN" a little clump of trees, modestly withdrawn from the dusty high road by a couple of hundred yards, and looking uncommonly like a white bandbox dropped by mistake on the hillside, stood the English church at Mutra. It was a squat and insignifi-cant building, quite unworthy to be dignified with so grand a name, and the simplicity of its interior correspond-ed in lack of beauty and decoration with its whitewashed and unadorned outward appearance. The door stood wide open, and Haji Mula, who acted in the amalgamated capacity of clerk, bellringerand church-cleaner, was busy with a broom on the steps of the entrance. A party of peo-ple sauntering along the road below glanced up, attracted by this white-clad figure outlined against the dark doorway. 'Let's go up and explore the, church," said a girl's clear voice; " we shall have the advantage of a few mo-ments' shade at all events, and it will serve to while away the time till tiffin is ready." So saying, she led the way up the narrow pathway through the gate. She was in riding dress, as were also five or six people who accompanied her, and the well-cut habit showed off' to advantage her pretty, rounded figure, while even the unbecoming shape of her sun topi could not entire-ly conceal the charming face of its wearer, and her charming, roguish eyes and laughter-curling lips. I hope your conscience pricks you, Miss Verner, and suggests that this is a fitting moment for some religious exercise," said the man who followed in her footsteps, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed giant, in whose voice the slight burr betrayed the Hibernian extraction. The girl flashed back at him a pro-vocative glance from under her long, dark, curling lashes. "We are part-ners in iniquity, at all events, Capt. Fitzgerald, so you had better come along with me at once and say a little prayer or two on your own behalf." Oh, come now—-" he expostulat-ed; "wasn't it you who threw them together at first, and cast the poor man at the siren's mercy ?" But it was she who betted her she could not succeed in bringing Maj. Brooke to the point. If you had not said that she would never have taken the trouble to lure the unhappy wretch to his fate." They had reached the porch by this time, whence Haji, leaning to the broom, had been steadfastly regarding them; but he resumed his sweeping as they passed on into the church follow-ed by some others of the party; though he kept his solemn eyes still fixed upon two people who lingered by the gate. There a man was talking earnestly to a tall, handsome woman with sparkling black eyes and a splendid figure, who bore herself with the air of an Amazon queen well accustomed to conquest. Gertrude Shawe was in truth an expert in the art of rapid slaughter—she rode roguishly over her victims, carrying away their hearts in trophy without casting one backward glance of pity at them as she went on her way vic-torious. The latest to succumb to her charms was the man beside her, Maj. John Brooke, of the Royal Wessex Regiment, now quartered in the plain beneath, where a white line showed faintly on the line of the horizon some 15 miles away. He was speaking in low, earnest tones to the beautiful woman who leant with smiling in-souciance over the gate, where she carelessly switched her riding whip amongst the shrubs at its side. But his pleading was evidently in vain. I am sorry," she answered, with calm unstudied brevity; "it is im-possible; to tell you the truth there is some one else with a prior and stronger claim." She turned with a light laugh toward hiixi, but it died on her lips as she recognized the meaning of the expres-sion in his grave, gray eyes. You mean to say that you have played with me, Miss Shawe?" he said with bitterness; " n o doubt the game has proved an amusing one to you—to me it appears but a poor jest." I am sorry," she reiterated, this time with an increase of hauteur added to her voice; then turning abruptly she passed slowly up the path away from him. She stood for a moment within the doorway looking into the empty church and listening to the sound of laughter mixed with loud expostulat-ing voices, which evidently emanated from the vestry beyond the altar, in her eyes a look of triumph mingled with a struggling expression of annoy-ance, which in a less assured person might have suggested a feeling of some self-contempt. " What are you all doing in here?" she asked a moment later, from the vestry roor. The group of people with-in turned startled gla,nces toward her and a sudden silence fell upon them; then Capt. Fitzgerald closed a heavy book lying before him on the table with an emphatic bang. "Oh, I 'm sick of this!" cried Maud Verner, springing from her seat beside him; "let's travel! tiffin must be ready by this time. I'll race you all to the bungalow." And away she went like a wild thing out of the church, follow-ed by the whole pack of her giddy, jest-ing companions. They melted out of sight in a few minutes, leavihg Haji and the church once more to their accus-tomed dignified repose. Mrs. Brooke put down her teacup with an air of puzzled surprise. " A year ago ! but how did you know about me then ?" she asked, in a re-flective tone. " I t was very curious, quite a coincl dence, in fact," replied her companion "Do you know we were married the same place and church, and on the same day of the month, September 13. only with a lapse of a year between our wedding days. I had been awfully ill so they sent up there to fetch me, and we were married at Mutra, and went straightaway to England." For a moment Mrs. Brooke remain ed silent. She still appeared mystified "But I don'.t think I quite under-stand you, Mrs. Agar," she said hesitatingly, at last. She was an ashy, pretty little woman, and did not wish to appear irresponsive to her com-panion's expression of interest. They both quite lately arrived at Bangalore; had met a couple of times before this, and had speedily struck up the prelim-inaries of a strong friendship. " I am afraid I 'm dreadfully ignor-ant," she continued. " I don't even know where Mutra is, but I have an idea Jack was quartered there before I met liini in Bombay." "But .surely I could not be mistaken, protested Mrs. Agar, it was evidently her turn now to be surprised. "Were you .not married at Mutra two years ago, in that little white church on the hill?" Mrs. Brooke shook her head. " Well, it is very extraordinary !" said her friend, staring at her with an incredulous smile on her face. But why do you ask? What makes you think I was married at Mutra?" demanded Mrs. Brooke. " I read the names there myself, in the register, they came just before us, and the page was so terribly blotted and smudged that it attracted our attention. September 13 was the date—John Ormsby Brooke , to Gertrude Emilia Shawe, and then the names of the wit-nesses." "My husband's name is certainly John Ormsy Brooke; but I was Alice Mainwaring, and we were married six months ago in Bombay, where I was living with my sister, Mrs. Arthur Brooks, who is married to Jack's cousi n; and I met my husband in their house just after I came out from old England. Dear old Jack! I shall chaff him about this, and tell him he has got another wife at Mutra. But it is curious about the name. I did not know there was another John Ormsby Brooke in existence. I am sure he can't be a patch on my .lack !" She laughed, and changed the subject; but Mrs. Agar had become suddenly pen-sive, the conversation flagged, and soon after Mrs. Brooks took her departure. That evening Mrs. Agar repeated their conversation to her husband and a few friends who were dining with them. "Deuced odd!" he commented, "I remember the names distinctly; and when we pointed out the blots to the padre, he remarked that it must have been the last .ceremony at which his predecessor could have officiated, for he had been killed out riding a few days later. The Wessex Regiment was quar-tered near Mutra before it came here," remarked a thin, yellow-faced man sitting next Mrs. Agar, "and Sir Reginald Shawe was in command there at that time. This daughter was a notorious flirt, a regular man-eater, and poor old Lord Mendip will have a live-ly time of it with her !" Oh, of course !" interposed a buxon lady on the other side of the table. " I wondered why the name seemed familiar. Gertrude Shawe was the handsome girl who was so much talked about last year at Poona; she is going to marry that dreadful old Lord Men-dip, who, they say followed her out there from England. I know her name is Gertrude, because someone at Poona made up a silly rhyme about " 'A young lady named Gertie Whose conduct was flirty.' " The next day, when John Brooke entered the club he was buttonholed by the yellow-faced man, the greatest scandalmonger in Bangalore. " I say, old chap, what's this strange and horrible tale of bigamy that's go-ing the round of Bangalore? Sly dog, married at Mutra; handsome woman, tool, Miss Gertrude Shawe! shows your good taste. But how comes it that she's to become my .Lady Mendip while you've provided yourself with another Mrs. Brooke?" Major Brooke was at first inclined to resent what he considered simply a piece of pleasantry in somewhat bad taste; but when Mr. Agar was sum-moned reluctantly from the corner, where he was reading, to give his evidence, then his perplexity and con-sternation grew in proportion to his inability to give either a satisfactory refutation or explanation of the matter. Yes, he had certainly been at Mutra at that time, September 13, two years before. And with a pang of humilia-tion, he recalled that moment by the church gate, and seemed again to hear the coldly mocking words, " I 'm sorry." With a mind filled with anxious forebodings, and with a feeling of some dismay, he hurriedly left the club and rode toward his home. "Matters seem likely to become a trifle complicated," said the yellow-faced man with distinct satisfaction, as he saw him take his departure. • ' I wish to God we had held our tongues," muttered Mr. Agar, who was a kindly, good-natured civilian, on good terms with himself and the rest of the world. " Gad," replied his companion, " his wife's a charming little woman; strikes me we'd be doing her a bad turn if we let matflfers slide, and Lord Mendip wouldn't thank us, either, for keeping j silent on the subject." The ball once set rolling went swift-ly on its way. The buxom lady who had been present the night before at Agars' dinner repeated the story, with additions and fuller details on her own account, to her- sixteen of twenty dearest friends in Bangalore. Then everybody was startled to hear that little Mrs. Brooke had suddenly gone off to join her sister in Bambay, and the tongue of scandal wagged in still more strident fashion on receiving that piece of news. John Brooke went about with a face that looked as if it were carved out of stone. Hi had written at once to Mutra, and awaited the reply with helpless presentiment of impending disaster. One day h i was sitting - in the veranda at her house, talking to Mrs Agar, who from the first had shown the deepest sympathy toward these two persons into whose home she had un-intentionally been the means of casting the apple of discord. A servant brought out a card to her, she looked at it curiously, while the man said Lady wants to see you, very import-ant !" Mrs. Fitzgerald! I wonder who she is," murmured Mrs. Agar. A clear, bell-like voice sounded on the threshold, and a very pretty wo-man came toward them saying, SCARING A SAINT. intruding. I am " Then catch- Brooke she cried, I say must apologize for a stranger to you-ing sight of John 1 Oh, Major Brooke ! what can to you, what can I do? It was all my own fault—I wrote it in the book-am so miserable, so utterly ashamed of myself!" and hiding her face in her hands, the Maud Verner of Mutra days sank into a seat and sobbed convulsive-ly. Confession, they say, is good for the soul, but it was an exceedingly bitter hour that followed for the frivolous, thoughtless girl, who had traveled there from Mutra to offer herself as scapegoat for a wrong-doing in which others had participated, less unworldly and impulsive than herself. So sincere was evidently her desire to make amends for the thoughtless though dangerous piece of mischief in which she had been the principal de-linquent, that unstinted forgiveness was extended to her by the Brookes. What Miss Gertrude Shawe may have thought on the subject history telleth not; but a full confession, signed and delivered to her and Major Brooke, satisfied all parties concerned;. the mat-ter was judiciously hushed up; Alice Brooke returned joyfully to her hus-band at Bangalore; and another nine days' wonder sooh distracted and monopolized the ever busy uoice of scandal. In the marriage register at Mutra a memorandum affirms that one entry that had been made in error; and thus ended without further disaster a matter which, commenced in jest, might in future years have assumed the grim aspect of a crime. How one of Scliweinfurth's Fol-lowers Tried to Work a Community About half a century ago a queer re-ligious imposter of the Schweinfurth stripe invaded the southeastern part of Ohio, and for several months created a great deal of excitement throughout that section. Several well-to-do farmers gave all their earthly possessions to the new "Messiah," and he soon became the center of quite a colony of deluded followers. One midnight night in June the 'messiah" was sitting in the veranda of his Ohio " h e a v e n " smoking a pipe— for he considered it not beneath his dignity to enjoy the pleasures of this life as he went along. A shrewd, hard headed old farmer who lived a mile or two down the road came shuffling up the walk and respectfully doffing his straw hat said: "Good evenin', mis ter." " I salute you, brother," responded the messiah, without rising from his seat or ceasing to send thé tobbacco smoke upward. " You'll excuse me mister," continued the old man, but my folks have taken quite an interest in you and my wife is dead set on standin' right by you through thick and thin." "Amei>!" ejaculated the "messiah.' "Now, see here," added the farmer. I 'm a good deal worried about this thing and I want you to give it to me straight." Yea, verily, brother, that will do," replied the smoker. Well, how about all this anyway ? Is it true that you can perform mir-acles— turn water into wine heal the sick, walk on the water and do such things as that ?" "Yea, verily." " You ain't jokin' ?" "Nay, brother." "And you can really do it—no mis-take about it?" Nay. » Well," remarked the farmer. " I 'm mighty glad of that. You'll have the greatest chance of your lifetime to con-vert a whole crowd of scoffers to-night. A lot of the boys are gettin' together now, and they'll be put up here in few minutes. If you're dead sure that you can walk on the water you can convert the whole gang, for they're goin' to take you down to Bascom's mill pond to see you do it. But, of course if you have any doubts about it, you know, they won't be here yet for about a quarter of an hour." The caller bowed and went away. The smoking suddenly ceased. And the " messiah " disappeared about.as suddenly as his last puff. Two years, later he was heard from in Penn-sylvania, but he never revisited Ohio. The mystery of his sudden departure was unsolved for many years, but the old Buckeye farmer always chuckled whenever the subject was mentioned. , What. One Woman Thinks. Happiness is a great beautifier. Where there is variety there will be folly. Some people were born to worry. People that are easily satisfied rarely, make much progress. And now the woman who owns a front porch begins to put on airs. Very often the man about whom a girl talks the least is the one she cares for most. Even the bravest woman can't act always as if life were a continual cake-walk. I t is a positive cruelty to give a child a name which will make it the laugh-ing stock of its playmates. The masculine woman is not so new after all. Ciceii) tells us that once the Roman women shaved and applied a lotion to the skin to enable them to grow whiskers. Cradle of t h e J e w i s h Race. The cradle of the Jewish race, we learn from the Jewish World, is about to be " rocked to its very foundations." The cradle is Ur of the Chaldees, which was identified by Sir Henry Rawlinson half a century ago. The rocking will take the shape of excavating the ruins of this inland town, which once was a seaport. The work has become neces-sary, as the natives of Nasarieh, on the opposite side of Euphrates, are quarry-ing bricks from the ruins, and generally betray a vandalistic disposition toward the tablets and inscriptions. A Joke on Posterity. One of the "mysteries" of the British Museum has just been explod-ed. The authorities have opened a box which has lain sealed in the Museum since 1834, and have found that it con-tains— nothing of interest to anyone. Francis Douce, autiquary, died in 1834, leaving the bulk of his curiosities to Oxford, and to the British Museum this precious box, which he stipulated must not be opened until 1900. For 66 years the box has remained intact. Douce left everything worth having to Oxford. —I consider it only a pleasure but a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about the wonderful cure effected in my case by the timely use of Chamber-lain's Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea Remedy. I was taken very badly with flux and procured a bottle of this remedy. A few doses of it effected a permanent cure.

On June 23 next a festival will be held at Mayence to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Gut-enburg, the reputed inventor of the art of printing. In this festival almost all civilized nations will take part, and it is to be hoped that the United States will be dully represented. In con-nection with this festival the founda-tions of a Gutenberg Museum is planned. Encouraging Paternity. The town of Givet, in the Ardennes, taking steps to put an end to the depopulation of France. Hereafter in all town of fices first father of more than three children and next married men will be preferred to bachelors. Prizes of $6 will be awarded yearly to those parents who have sent the largest number of children to school regularly, and scholarship in the national schools will be reserved for families only of more than three children. Fathers of families shall also have the preference for admission to almshouses and old people's houses. The Danger o f Docking. An English agricultural journal points out the loss through docking, which is now being sustained by certa.in stock breeders, is becoming serious. The great call remounts for the British army in South Africa will doubtless end this practice. Horses in hot coun-tries are useless if they have not suf-ficient tail to keep of the swarms of flies. It is not only true as regards the young horse, likely to be used for a common trooper, but the higher class animals such as used for chargers by the officers. Distinguished Speakers anil turers will be Provided. The Pennsylvania Chautauqua, at Mt. Gretna, promises to be more en-tertaining than any previous year. Dr. Max Hark, the chancellor, has ar-ranged an excellent program, and some of the most prominent platform speak-ers in the country have been engaged and will appear before Chautauqua audiences. The first week in July will be given over largely to the Sunday school teachers' training school, under the auspicious of the state association, and among the most notable lecturers during the week will be Prof. Edward Howard Griggs. July 4 will be a pa-triotic day. There will be class studies as usual, the morning being mainly given to this work, the afternoons and evenings de-voted to popular entertainments. Among some of the speakers who will be present some time during the as-sembly are Bishop John H. Vincent, of the M. E. church and the father of the Chautauqua idea; Hon. W. II. Hensel, ex-attorney general'of Penn-sylvania; Frank R. Roberson, who is now in South Africa collecting ma-terial and views for a lecture; Rev. Dr. Perrine and Rev. Dr. Harris, both of Bucknell university; Prof. Samuel Schmucker, whose lectures 011 nature have been immensely popular; Con-gressman Brosius, Dr. Frank Starr, of Chicago university, the eminent an-thropologist and traveler, are a few of those who have -been engaged for lectures. There will be two noteworthy lec-tures, "The Wonders of Liquid Air" and " Wireless Telegraphy," with illus-trations, by Prof. Foster, of Temple college, that should attract universal attention. The cooking school will be again in charge of MissColling,who was so much liked last summer. Prof. Crozier and Mrs. Roie Adams Grum-bine will each give piano recitals, while the musical entertainments throughout will be of a very high order. The Chautauqua inn will be in charge of Mrs. Scott, a noted Philadelphia ca-terer, and the cuisine will be excellent. -To avoid the usual fees, George Locher and Ella Baird married them-selves in the presence of the Constable and Commissioner's clerk at Tunkhan-nock. The only expense connected with the ceremony was the 50 cents which had to be paid for the marriage license. . A11 Old Saw That is Senseless. In olden times when a person died it was customary to toll the church bell a certain number of times to indicate whether it was a woman or child, says the Ladies Home Journal. For a woman it was tolled three times. The stroke of a bell was called a " teller," and hence it was nine tellers for a man; as folks said in those days. " Nine tellers mark a man." This saying, which was continued long after the tolling custom was abolished, finally became converted into the present say-ing. "Nine tailors make a man," which is devoid of both sense and rea-son.

Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is de-moniac enough to warrant the belief. I t has never been claimed that Cham-berlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One applica-tion relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many, times its cost. For sale by James C^Brobst, Lititz.

How far can a cat jump without h u r t i n g itself was partly exemplified in Brooklyn the other night. A pretty white cat ran up a tree to get away f r om a dog and at last crawled out on a small branch at least CO feet above the ground. The branch was not much more than a twig, and the cat could not turn around. She sat up there on the swaying limb and meowed. At last the twig broke, and down came the cat.
