A OifUBin Jftfliwuuu, wiiuuvuv, v* nmTmd I* Pompeii. splendid marble bassoriiJevo has been discovered In Pompeii In a little garden of a bouse on the east side, ays a Naples letter in tbe Paris Mes senger. To tbe right of tbe bassorilievo Its a goddess with a diadem on ber head and a peplnm on tbe left sboulder. The left foot Is bare and rests on what teems the sole of a sandal, bat there arc no bands to It The left band rests on tbe block of stone on which tbe goddess is sitting, and ber right band rests on ber knee. 8be is looking at a ram. which stands on a little altar In front of her ready to be sacrificed. A boy bo?ds tbe ram by one of Its horns, and another boy has his arms round the ram's neck. Tbe mailer boys also stand near tbe ram. and at their back are three more flgnroa mnn trmniMHl in a cloak and two women. Tbe work Is considered to be of great value, and dates from tbe fourth century. B. C. Another discovery is a round table, formed by a bronze monopodium. terminating in a leonine paw. resting on a round basis, in its turn resting on a square basis. The upper part of tbej paw forms a cup from which rises a little cupid. whose legs, however, are hidden in tbe cup or vase. On his head !s another vase, from which rises a stalk ornamented with foliage, supporting tbe bronze framework which Is to bold tbe marble top. This also Is a remarkable find. Tto PiMfrratloD. Tie preservation is a question ot growing importance to many railroads which do not own timber suitable for the manufacture of ties, and several new preserving plants are going up in several parts of tbe country in response to the demand. One of the largest of these, now being built at Carbondale, 111., according to tbe Engineering News, will have a capacity of 2.000,000 ties annually. The ties will be treated in huge kilns six feet in diameter and 125 feet long, capable of holding fourteen Iron cars containing thirty to forty ties each. These retorts are furnished with superheating colls to maintain the inside temperature above the vaporizing point, while at the same time a vacuum is maintained to extract the sap from the ties. Green lumber la loaded on cars and run Into the retort at one end. and when the cars Issue from the other end the lumber will be so impregnated with preservatives that It will have a far longer life than the best quality cf mm* mnaA natural lTOO<l tie.

Try your baud at a Welsb rarebit if you don't like to bear it, but let me tell it my own way first. You can add all tbe trimmings afterward.'" So tbe sweet little lady pouted like a sweetbeeart at tbe florid beau wbo bad been ber busband for five years and left tbe room. "I was quartered with Marjbeet tbat year wltb my squadron of tbe Housebold Cavaby. It was our first try out in tbe tropics, and every Jolly officer, line and staff, was djing of ennui. It was too bot for golf, tbe ponies were too sick witb tbe fever to stand even an inning at polo and tbere wasn't a tolerable wbite woman witbin sixty miles. ne were uu uutuvturs uui Colonel Dinwiddle, and be, for reasons of bis own. bad left tbe madam in Birmingham and was glad of It. "Well, we were bard put to it for recreation until Ensign Pitcairn, a weird-faced, inquisitive young chap, began to give us all the creeps witb bis stories about occultism, astral bodies, spooks and 'manifestations.' Well. Dinwiddle and IMtcairu and I kept up tbw best mess in tbe station, and, of course, every buck in tbe garrison who had tbe entree sponged off our hospitality. 80 when they were all worked up witb tbe ensign's story 1 tilt upon tne canny iuea 01 geiuug uji one of tbe Indian 'adepts,' as Titty called them, to give a seance in our garden. It wasiTt a garden at all, as a matter of fact, but a sandy, flat bit of gipund fenced in at tbe back of our bungalow, witb a bower in tbe middle made of nothing better than a hipped roof, cane pillars and mosquito bars. It was a good place to play ecarte of a hot nigbt. but in tbe daytime It was as hot as tbe lire box of Tophet. "So Pitty arranged matters witb bl6 Burrcrcr auu i sutu u?ri? iu iuv rumtainment at two shillings, English money. for tbe officers and one for tbe soldiers. We wrote tbe tickets out by baud on tbe backs of old playing cards, and they went like not cakes, for tbe unlucky Tommies didn't know wbat to do witb themselves day or nigbt. and tbe cbance of a 'show' was almost as welcome as a letter from borne. "Exwpt for tbe colonel and major surgeon we bad no cbairs, and tbe audience squatted around In a circle upon tbe sand. We borrowed a few torches from tbe quartermaster, though we didn't need them, as it xurueu out, ior iof moou w an w?i over the low roof of my quarters before PitcalrD. as self-important as Mrs. Jarley herself, came in with All Beg. the vaunted mystic, who alone could make sure my personal guarantee that the entertainment was 'worth the fee.* Pitty led his adept into the centre of the ring, a space about twenty feet in diameter, and introduced him with a pompous salutatory ami a grauu wave of tbe baud. Tbe Tommies, wbo bad so respect for anything 'native,' booted tbe miserable Indian, wbo almost groveled before tbem, calling bim 'Alley beggar' and asking him. ' 'Aven't you any bapparatus'r'. The performer, who was almost a skeleton, had brought with biiu one of the paraphernalia which EuroiK*an 'magicians' always have about them, though be wore upon bis skinny shoulders a dirty, drnb-colored cloak, which he unwound and dropped upon the sand as he saluted Colonel Dinwiddle and tbe ribald ring of 'salfilm* round about. I'erbaps some of you have seen these strange necromancers of the East? No. Well. they are quite past understanding. Thin one, like all 1 have known. being as agile as he was thin, with deep-set. vcfncillatlng black eyes, skiu like a faded yellow parchment ami tiugers like tbe talons of a hawk. "But hear what All Beg did before our unbelieving eves nud. if vou can. explain it. for 1 can't. Having dropped bis cloak u]K>n the hand, he uulielted a crooked scimitar that hung by his side and laid it behind him. Theu with a strange exclamation he fell nj?on the clonk, roiled it between bis flat palms, paddled it. smoothed it and peeped beneath its hem. as it seeiued suddenly to swell ?ud spread. The silence of curiosity, if not or respect, fell upon us, but I coufess that iny hair stood on end nod I could feel the goose-flesh on my spine, when the j wizard Jerked uwny the cloak and disj closed a chubby, bright eyed, naked Indian boy sitting squarely before u? on the sand. It could have beeu do ordinary hallucination, for the child leapt nimbly to his feet, chattering to his creator. Ali II? g. as we exchanged cries of wonder. I'm afraid I'm telling it very badly, am I Anne'f" (TIiIb to Mrs Montford. who had come to listen at the doorway.) But she said: "No, It's all rightt.

("Mi. yes, that boy was there as real i as any boy I ever saw at night by the light of either moon or torch. The I adept towing and grinning like a S pleased chimpanzee now dropped the I cloak again, went hysterically to work * with his lean hands, turning from his task only twice to look at the boy who stood silent beside him gazing about at the white faces of the fascinated audleuce. When the cloak began to assume tbe form and size that seemed to satisfy the adept he whipped It away again, and there, as plain as himself or the boy. yawning as if just awakened, its mean, furtive, yellow eyts darting lurid glances upon uo. lay a lull-grown leopuru, me uuir uu its tawny back rislug angrily as Ali kicked hiiu into a standing posture, bis foetid breath coming to our nostrils as be snarled with rage, bis tail whipping tbe snnd Into our faces as be lashed it about. Ob. it was a real leopard, I think. At nil events. I remember some of us who happened to have them idip]>ed out our pistols, and I can still see old Dinwiddle biting his gray moustache as be reached for his sabre. "But it was tbe climax.of tbe weird spectacle which followed. By a series of vindictive kicks and cuffs the adept was working tbe sinister boast into a fury.

All Beg bad no sooner made bis low showed us that tbe boy was gone, obeisance (they call it 'salaam') to Colonel Dinwiddle and tbe circle than he waved tbe empty cloak a few times, spread it above tbe leopard's bead and covered that chop-licking demon. As we looked the cloak dropped down, down, till it lay Oat and spreading on tbe sand. Tbe leopard was gone! I pictied up tbe ill-smelling cloak myself, and if tbe earth had opened and swallowed the beast, it could not have disappeared more thoroughly.
