A hundred years- *go Sandy was a
boy, with all the glad self-conceit of
15. The world would have moved
around faster, and everything' pone
smoothly, could he have had his turn
to rule.
Sandy's advice was the last thing",
however, that Sandy's father, a grave-
Seed Scotchman, thought of asking*. I
nobody, in fact, gave much attention |
to his opinions except Peter Small, i
their hired man, wlift always agreed
with any one who talked with him.
Sandy's father had bought a large j
tract of land in New Hampshire, and j
had led a little band of settlers to (
locate upon it with himself. He was i
a rich man for his place, bringing* with
hi in a good supply of farm tools* and
household wares, horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs.
The last were an insecure posses-
sion, for the woods were full of bears,
none of them of Jewish belief, but all ,
ready to eat fresh pork without scru- j
pie, and every little while a pig* was '
missing-

might come near! I
Suddenly he heard some one oallinff !
"Sandy! Sandy 1" It seemed like
Peter's voice, but why were his tones .
so imploring"? Sandy slowly raised
his head and peeped over the edge of
the tub. What is it? What had hap-
| pened? All the shocks of corn were
! torn down, pulled apart, scattered j
! every where. The ears lay half-eaten
all around.
Peter Small came up, his hair flying' ,
and face white. "Well, Sandy, you've i
scart me this time!" he said. "When !
I saw how the bears had been round, ;
and I didn't see you, I was afraid i
they'd dragged you off, and eaten
you up, like as not; but why didn't
you shoot? Dursn't you tire?"
"Durst to!" exclaimed Sandy.
"Durst to! 1 didn't see 'em."
"Not see 'em!" cried Peter; "you
j don't mean to say you slept through
1 Sandy silently bowed his head. "I
I guess you'd better not say anything"
I about it," he remarked at last.
"No, sartain," said Peter. "Folks
might laugh at you."
So Sandy gathered up the shocks of
| corn and the scattered ears, and the
next night; as Peter advised, went to
his bed in the house.
Peter, after he was gone brought
more shocks and put them round thei
tub, and wrapped in his blanket lay
ilown in it.
When morning came ho called out
all the household and showed, a dead
bear, with a fat cub lying among the
corn. Two others had managed to es-
cape.
•1 knew I could ketch some bears,
I planned it up to watch in the scald
ing- tub," he said triumphantly.
"I don't like folks that are always
agreeing and agreeing; they're kind
of traps themselves," said Sandy af-
terwards — Marian Douglas in Chicago

Arabia must be a heaven fo r those
whose lives are made a burden to
them by the whistler. The Arab
maintains tli it a whistler's mouth
cannot be purified for'forty daj'S and
nights, and they assert of the whistler
! that satan has touched his body and
caused him to produce the offensive
sound. Then there are the natives of
the Tonga islands, Polynesia, who
hold that it is a sin to whistle, as it is
an'act disrespectful to God. Even
in some districts in North Germany
the villagers declare that if one
whistles in the evening it makes the

Now, first of all, we ought to get rid
of the bears. We ought to have a \

have somebody keep watch every I
night"
'"Yes," said Peter Small. "It's
dreadful needful to kill off the bears.
Some folks set traps."
"Let's we," said Sandy.
"No, Sandy, I hain't time," replied
Peter, leaning on the spade with
which lie was digging.
"Well, tell me how," said Sandy;
"I'll make one."
Peter, laying by his spade, sat down
on a log. and told Sandf how to take
some "springy" saplings and some
rope, and a great stone, and arrange
them, "Indian fashion," into a trap.
Sandy, after feeding time, set such
a trap beside the pen, where the hogs,
for safety's sake, were kept confined.
What delight it would be to find a
caught bear in the morning.
Hut about midnight there was such
a sound of terrific squealing that
Sandy's father, the hired man, and
Sandy himself all Pushed out together.
They found some fallen poles, a rock
that had slipped and the little black
pig that had rooted out beneath the
pen tangled up in a network of hair
bedcord.
"What's this? What's this?" asked
Sandy's father.
"It's Sandy's bear trap," said Peter
Small, with a grin, and poor Sandy
for weeks after heard nothing but in-
♦ quiries about bear skins and black
pigs and "his trap."
"Peter's always agreeing and agree-
ing—he might say he helped to plan
it," said Sandy to himself a little bit-
terly.
Hut the time for roasting ears had
come, and the bears who never waited
for roasting then began to make
depredations on the corn.
"I've thought of a new plan," said
Sandy, going to Peter Small from
sheer force of habit. "You know the
great sealdingvtub Cooper Brown
made that's out there by the barn?
Well, I'm going to shock up a lot of
corn, pile it all around" it, lie down in
th > tub, and'if a bear comes near up
:: ml shoot him befom he can eat a ker-
nel! That's what I'm going to do."
Well, Sandy, you're a wise one,"
k;i id Peter, shaking his head admir-
ahout a sea captain, who refused to
take aboard a woman who whistled,
and, knowing the old suoerstition,
feared that with her on board he
would b • sure of shipwreck. I do not
know how it is with the captains of
vessels now, for almost every woman
seems to know how to whistle and
keeps up the fashion
What do you think of the physician
who gave encouragement to the
whistler in such words as the follow-
in£:
"All the men whose business it is to
test wind instruments made at the
various factories before sending them
off for sale are without exception free
from pulmonary affections. I have
known many who, before entering
upon this calling, were very delicate,
and who, nevertheless, though their
duties obliged them to blow for hours
together, enjoyed perfect health after
a time."'
He supplemented his remarks

1170 A. 1)., and at least three wooden
bridges are known to have occupied
the same site prior to that date. The
old bridge was slightly over 900 feet
in length and had eighteen solid stone
piers, varying in thickness from twen-
ty- five to thirty-four feet, thus con-
fining the flow of the river to less than
half its channel. The entire surface

at 1,700), carrying on all the trades

among the lepers of Damascus. There
is Naanian's house of lepers in the
city, at which Mrs. Terhune will
upply for leave to converse and
mingle with the afflicted crea-
tures. This, also, is an affair
for delicate management, but before
she left New York assurances were ob-
tained. through our diplomatic repre-
sentatives in the Orient, that it could
be managed. Mrs. Terhune's idea is
to see if the alleged wrongs of the
Vpers can not be righted by efforts of
( lnistians in this country. It is well
known that an eminent American
philanthropist has long wished to se-
cure an authentic report upon the con-
dition of the world's lepers. Such a
report does not exist, and the efforts
of well disposed persons to solve this
growing problem of the leper are thus
rendered nugatory. Mrs. Terhune
means to investigate the Damascus
settlements in the interest of this
cause. Physicians here have stated
that there is no fear of contagion, and
it is believed that tWfe lady can secure
by a week's sojourn among these un-
fortunates all that is needed for the
information of their well wishers.
Mrs. Terhune carries with her letters
>f introduction to the social leaders of
Damascus that is. the native aristoc-
racy—the wealth of whom is immense,
and 1 jfv life in the city's palaces is ex-
pected to pleasantly vary the rigors of
her other experiences.

OME DAYS AGO
it was announced
that the French
gover n in e n t i n -
tends to build a
large prison a short
distance outside of
Paris to replace the
f.imous Koquette
near Perc Laehaise
cemetery, and the
/ prison of Ste. Pela-
gie, with its souvenirs of the Reign of
Terror. Kvyry American visitor to Paris
has seen La Koquette, which is chietly
known as the place outside which the
guillotine is erected whenever there
is an execut on in the French capital.
It was in the street in front «>f La
Koquette tint Pran/.ini. the murderer,
had his head cut off in 1887. The fol-
lowing ye ir witnessed the execution of
I'rado. the infamous assassin of women.
Eyraud, the strangler, was a recent
victim of the guillotine in the Place de
La Koquette'
It rests wttli the public prosecutor,
and not with the judges, in France to
determine in what prison a delinquent
sentenced by the courts shall be con-
fined. • Prisoners condemned for crimes
of comparatively minor importance
often obtain permission to pass the
time of their sentence in La Koquette
on condition of paying 1'* cents a day
to the state. The discipline of the
prison is not rigorous.
At the end of one of the long corri-
dors is the narrow prison which served
as a place of confinement for Mgr.
Darboy, the archbishop of Paris, who
was shot with the rest of the hostages
by the communists in 1871. Since that
august*prisoner was inclosed within
the four narrow walls the cell has
never been entered by any criminal, li
has remuined intact. The bed is just
as it was when the great prelate was
called to meet his fate. The same
sheets have been hvft. and the iron
cross which closes the spyhole into the
cell is still surmounted by the Latin
words, "vitae rober, mentis salus,
written in pencil by the archbishop,
who occupied some of his weary mo-
ments in sketching the scourge, the
sponge dipped in hyssop and other in-
struments of the Passion on the door
ofLliis prison.
The small winding staircase may-
still be seen by which the host
ages went down when they were
summoned to meet the tiring
p.u'ty in the yard of La Ko-
quette, where the feeble old prelate,
who had overtaxed his strength, \va>
compelled to cling to tne arm of his
companion, M. Konjean, to avoid fall-
ing. The spot is still pointed out
where the live hostages fell; where
Mgr. Darboy called down forgiveness
for his murderers, who knew not what
they did. The mark of the bull >ts can H
still be seen around the white marble
slab, which records one of the most
sanguinary acts of the Paris rsbrte.
Evergreens mark the place where the
men tell who died victims of its blind
fury.
There is an old prisoner in La Ko-
quette who remembers sitting in the
e >11 of liilloir, the noted murderer,
when th« venerable Abbe Crozes, the
chaplain, and K -auquesne. the gov-
ernor of La Koquette, entered and in-
formed him that. Marshal McMahon
had rejected his appeal for mercy, and
that the sentence of death passed on him
for the murder of Marie La Manech was
a! out to l>e carried into execu-
tion. The murderer, who had
been playing cards j all the even
ing and who had expressed his
confidence in the clemency of his
former general, was terror-stricken.
His chest heaved spasmodically, and a
strong dose of cordial had to be given
to h III before lie eoiild summon up
courage to remember that he had
been a soldier and had won the mili-
tary medal.
Another old prisoner tells an inci-
dent connected with the Commune,
which is recorded by Abbe Faure, the
members of the order were shot by
the commuuists ou that occasion for
the purpose of building a chapel over
the spot.
"The criminals at La Koquette
have no complaints to make." writes
Abbe Faure, the chaplain. "They are
treated with fraternul solicitude, and
legend says that those who have grown
old in houses of detention and have
made the round of every prison in
1''ranee have shown the greatest un-
willingness to leave this place when
the law has declared them free There
are several old men about the place
without family ties, who forgetting
the world and forgotten by it. have
managed to obtain some kind of em-
ployment so as not to be compelled t;>
leave the prison and to warrant their
being fed and lodged at the expense of
the country.
"The name of one of them is- men-
tioned as a terror to any one who
might be tempted to betray the secrets
of the prison -a certain liberated
criminal who had some small
duties assigned him so that
he might not be thrown on the
treet with his gray hairs and infirmi-
ties. lie managed to make a good liv-
ing by giving items of information to
journalists when any special criminal
occupied the condemned cell, liean-
nouneed the appearance of the mounted
municipal guard, who is alwaysdeputed
to bring from the ministry of justice
that sealed notice which leads to the
guillotine being put up on the Place de
la Koquette."
It was in Ste Pelagie that the last
batch of suspects during the reign of
terror heard the joyful news of the
downfall of Robespierre. There is a
tradition that they first guessed how
matters were going outside by hearing
a jailor say: "Now, then, Robespierre,
