Theught the Conductor Shot an Angel. An engineer running over the Pan- handle branch of the Santa Fe is some- what superstitious and believes in Warnings.

One night he was rolling along ata good rage of speed. when he saw a clear, white light, like a will-o’-the-wisp, dancing around just over the track a few hundred feet in front of him. He shut off steam and came to a stop as quickly as he could. The conductor and train crew came running up to the engine to see What was the matter.

‘*There is some one swinging a lan- term across the track,’’ said the en- gineer, and the crew went ahead to in- vestigate.

‘*‘Wecan’t find any one,’’ reported the rear brakeman, and the engineer pulled out again, but he went slowly, and in a few minutes he stopped again. The crew went aliwad once more to see what was the cause of the %fght. The eonductor, who was a good shot, drew his revolver and at the second shot he made at the mysterious \ight there was a crash, a scream and the light went out and something white «ame fluttering down from the clouds.

The superstitious engineer was scared. “You've shot an angel, sure,’’ he said to the conductor, with his face pale as death.

Investigation bsought out the fact that a small boy with a lantern tied to the tail of his kite was the cause of it all, but it teases the engineer to say any- thing about ‘‘shooting angels.’’—To- peka State Journal.

Ladies’ Coilege should be carefully perused | by those who may be seeking wide oppor- tunity for intellectual growth and culture, as well as by all whoare interested in the cause of higher education forthe youvg women of our country It represents this popular institution as never before, | vetter equipped for succe-sful education work—never more worthy the eonfidence | and loyal support of the denomination to which it belongs, It can be truly said of t'.e Ladies College that it has more than kept pace with the demand of our time for an open way into the wide fields of literary development and culture and aiso into the and of classic art. “It is ahead of the times” Las more than once been said of the handsome Art Building with its valua- ble collection of paintings, statuary, and its admirable appliances for art study— not elsewhere to be found in Canada. In hundreds of houses throughout the Pro- vinces, in Sabbath schools, chu:chea, soc- ial services and concert halls—boih instr~ umental and voice bear testimony of the excellence and high character of the work done by students in the Musical Conser- vaiory. Two vacancies in the statf mace by the retirement of Prof. Wootton and Miss Jeeves, have been filled by the appointment of Prof. Vincent of New Yurk to the Directorship and Miss Colder of Boston to Jthe charge of the voice cul- ture department, Mr. Vincent and Mise Golder have had excellent advantages for musical study and training, both at home and abroad, acd will bring to their work high qualifications. No former student in returning to Mt. Allison wili suffer loss through change of teachers _It is frequ ently an advantage, especially in advanced musical work, to get the best in training and method from several teachers. This fact is recognized by those who go abroad for musical study, and who usually take the opportunity of study with several dis- tinguished musicians. 2...

A ROMANCE OF THE WAR.

The young wife of the colonel ot the Thirteenth Minnesota Volunteers evidently believed that the days of old romance are still with us in these realistic days of war. Mrs. Reeve went to San Francisco with Colonel Reeve, her miad made up to go to Manila with him. She could not see why she should not go with her husband to Manila, even if otber brides bad to atay at home, She petitioned the war department in vain. Her letter from Washington made it very plain that Mars, god of war, was to rule Colonel Reeve, not the little god with the arrows. Mra, Reeve wept and, ap- parently, acquiesced. Two days before the City of Para eailed from San Francisco she bade her husband a fond farewell, say- ing that she simply could not bear to see the ship sail away with him. The colonel thought she had gone out into the Cali- fornia country to hide her grief, and sadly went aboard and took his command. There was a big storm that first night of the voyage to Honolulu. Almost every- boly was very seasick. In the morning a pale, slender young soldier appeared in Colonel Reeve’s cabin. The colone! looked up to see who it was who had knocked and re p nded to his: ‘ come in.” There stood his bride! Somehow sbe had got a suit of soldier clothes, and in her volunteer uniform had easily become a stowaway aboard the City of Para There was nothing for the colonel to do but take her io bis arms and forgive her. But he saw to it at Honolulu that she did not ship again for Manila.—Boston Tranecript.

Loose clothes and downy cushions bring only a negative sort of comfort to the woman who is euffering with some disease or derangement of the organs distinctly femine. Some clothes and some position make the pain and the discomfort seem less. Perhaps the verves are mostaffected and this in turn disturbs the digestion. Nothing will ever comp etely relieve but aradical cure. The start of so called “female complaints” may be a very slight thing indeed. It may be that in the be- ginning some emiall hygienic measures wouid stop the trouble. Certainly at this time a litile bit of toe right medicine would stop it. When the trouble becomes worse it is harder to cnre,but still it can be cured Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will positively cure any trouble of this charac- ter. It may be absolutely relied upon. It affords lasting relief to a woman ~v hose natural modesty has kept her from con- sulting a physician.

When Molten Lead Won’t Burn.

When the Prince of Wales was study- ing under Sir Lyon Playfair in Edin- burgh, that gentleman, after taking the precaution to make him wash his hands with ammonia to get rid of any grease that might be on them, said:

**Now, sir, if you have faith in sci- ence you will plunge your right hand in- to that caldron of boiling lead and la- dle it out into the cold water which is standing by.’’

‘Are you serious?’’ asked the pupil. *‘Perfectly,’’ was the reply.

“If you tell me to do it, I will,’’ said the prince

“I do tell-you,’’ rejoined Playfair, and the prince immediately ladled out the burning liquid with perfect impa- nity.—London Standard. :
