W?jx taits. I ca?r remember doseris of them-s tori a reeking with gore told dank witK dungeons and grewsome with ghosts and other uncanny things. Wc were on tl ie roof of tho cathe dral at Milan. Wo had climbed th? stairs in the late afternoon of 4 beautiful spring day af ter. paying the custodian the insignificant price be asked for all the glories visible from the elevated station. We had looked through the telescope for an other fee and had each assured the others that we saw Mont Blanc per fectly well without for a moment believing what the others said or convincing them that we told the truth and had ended our climbs by ascending to the highest point un der the lantern, if it is a lantern, by the corkscrew staircase, which will scarcely permit any but tho thinnest persons to pass when one is [going up and the other coming down. Wc were a party 01 four, and when the roof was reached the youngest proposed a ramble over that portion of the structure. To this all but myself assented. I was tired and proposed to rest awhile at the foot of tho tower stairs, where the others were to pick me up on their return, so that we might all descend together. This was satis factory, and off they started. I i For a time I was quite comforta ble and paid no attention to the passage ot time, but I suddenly no ticed that it was getting dark and that my companions had not re turned. I called to them first in a moderate tone of voice, then more loudly, but received no answer. Fearing that they would be be lated on the roof, I started in search of them. I walked the entice length of the ridge of the main roof and peered down all the side passa ces in the gathering dusk, but caught no glimpse of my companions. Then I descended to the roof of the aisle and made a search there, which was also fruitless. I became alarmed as the light failed and ran from one point to another, calling out as--1 ran, until I found, to my great dis tress, that I had lost my way. I. could see far below reo the lights of the great city and hear the distant rumbling of the carriages as they drove past on the stony streets. But I was as effectually lost for the moment as if I had been in the heart of an African jungle without a compass and no Stanley on the alert to hunt me up. In the excite ment and despair which the con sciousness of thi^ fad produced I rushed about so wildly that I slipped and fell on a long flight of stone steps, wet with the dew which had begun to fall. I was not conscious of any serious mjury-froto'ilie fall, but when I brought hp at nie loot of the stairs and tried to regain my footing I found, to my despair and horror, that I was^utterly unable to move my limb?, l^wal paralyzed. The mental agony- I -Buffered is inconceivable. Yet, curiously enough, I spent the first moments in specu lating as to the exact nature of tho injury I had sustained. Had I bro ken my back or simply injured my. spinal cord? I tried to recall what I had heard my doctor friends say about injuries of a similar charac ter, but could not seem to remember anything definite. The words, "the fifth pair," flashed into mjr mind and appeared to connect themselves in Borne Way with my condition, but whether it was the fifth pair of nerves or ribs or of "something else I could not make oui I could , not understand .either how I could havo been so seriously injured without any sensible shock, but that my power of locomotion was gone there was no .doubt. I could move my hands, and I began to speculate on the number of things one could do with one's handa'aloue. This occupied me for what seemed to be an hour, but aa the train of thought was interrupted by a clock striking the hour of midnight I con cluded it must have been much lon ger and wondered I had not heard the preceding hours. Suddenly the full horror of my condition flashed upon me. I was not only doomed to remain where I was, helpless and alone, during the long, chilly hours of the night, but there was no certainty that I would ever get away aliveT My friends would never dream that I was there. They had undoubtedly concluded that I had gone down, and if thej missed me would search everywhere but in the right place. It might be days before the particular spot in which I lay would be visited, and in that case it would be too late. Starvation would do for me even il the injury I had received did not. In my anguish I shrieked aloud, but was dully conscious all the timo that nobody could hear me. Visitoi and custodians alike must haye dc parted hours before, and even if m cries were heard from the street below nobody would attribute thor, to their real source. " To the feeling of acute unguis succeeded one of blank despair, no longer speculated on the posai hility pf being discovered, dead c alive. There was a dull, leaden f e? ing at roy chest, and I found mysel repeating mechiinically old rhymt jingles and saying the alphabc tockward, a* I onra^ear?ccTto do ia seeking relief from insomnia. .Yet at the same time I was oou eeioutt that my whole Ufo was pass ing in review before nie, as they say it does when ono is drowning or be ing hanged I remembered that i awing, too, and without any cessa tion, of tfce s?rie w I wondered in 9jf?o9bwi consciousness if I were ra?^rgoi?,j the sensations of a I Browning man or of ono being hanged and wished I could put them down on paper for the benefit of tho rc?t of mankind. ?What et ruckmo aa singular waa t#at the clocks kept on striking SI. / Tho second tinte they did this I thought I mu at have lost con * eciousness for au entire day and that this was the second midnight. But when the third stroke of 12 came from half a dozen clocks I knew it could not be two days since I had fallen. I thought first that I had become demented, and then it occurred to me that if I were X could not reason about it in that fashion, so the clocks themselves must be crazy. This theory satisfied me until fV"? striking began again, when I went off in another fantastic speculation. My friends had discovered that I was missing and were having the bells rung to keep my spirits up. Oh, the long, long, weary hours I spent in waiting/for a glimpse of daylight 1 I had no hope that day light would bring me any relief, but the prospect of staving where it was endless midnight seemed unendura ble. I groaned and wept and dug my nails into the palms of my hands until it seemed as if the blood would come, but I did not even feel any sense of pain. It must have been after the clocks had struck midnight a dozen times or more-I kept no exact account that I saw in the distance at what seemed to be the farther end of the cathedral roof two faint glimmers of light. Presently there were two more and then two more, until there was a regular procession of them. 1 tried to shout, but had become so weak with cold and suffering that ] could not raise my voice above a whisper. The lights nevertheless approach <?d, growing gradually stronger, un til I could see that they wers borne by several black robed figures thai were marching beside a coffin. Ai the procession moved slowly towarc me I began to wonder what it meanl and whether funerals took place al midnight on the roof of lilian ca thcdral. Then I speculated a mo ment on the propriety of disturbing the obsequies even in my extrem? need. Suddenly, it dawned upo'n m< that this was my own f op?rai, and ] knew that I was either dead or hat gone mad. In the supreme anguisl . of this discovery all memory of pas suffering was blotted out, and 1 en tered on a new period of the mos exquisite torture. Fortunately i was of brief duration. As the fore most of the moving figures reache? me lafelt a grasp on my arm, and i voice called in my ear: , <*Wake up, father. Ifs tb ne t be going down, j I guess you mus haye had your yoke turned." It was my daughter, and beaid her .were tue rest of the part} HuBuc? with their ramble on th roof. I straightened out my cramp ed limbs, which must have gone t sleep about the time I did, an ptllea out my watch. I had bee there just fifteen minutes. I don't mean to be understoo that my hair really did turn gray i that night of horror on Milan er thedral. In the first place, there i -not much of it, and what there i has been tolerably gray for son years.

ORIGIN OF THE ROSARY, An Interesting Legend Associate* lt j With * Garland of Roses. Tracing the origin of the rosary back to times and places far remote, Father Thurston, who read a paner before t?ie Society of Arti, pointed ont that it would bo * great mistake to suppose that tho tue of bead? for counting prayers was peculiar to the Catholic church or was of com paratively modern date. To deter mine at what time the name rosary (rosenkrans) was introduced is ex tremely difficult. Garlands of roses, implying a reference to the term rosary, were a conspicuous feature of pictures and tablets of the fif teenth century, but before this no clear examples are forthcoming. At that epoch it was common for both men and women in ordinary life to Wear garlands of flowers and to place them as a mark of respect upon the heads of persons and .stat ues. Father Thurston is strongly inclined to believe that its applica tion to the particular devotion now under discussion was mainly due tc the popularity of a certain story ol a garland which can be traced very much earlier than the word^rtself in almost every part of the Christian world. The name must have come from the story, and the story was not evolved out of an already pre existing name. The legend in question is briefly this: A youth was accustomed to make a wreath of roses or other flowers every day and to place it upon the head of Our Lady's stat ue. He became a monk, and*in the cloister his occupations no longer permitted him to observe this pious practice. Being much distressed, he,asked counsel of an aged priest, who advised him to say his Aves ev ery evening, which would be accept ed by Our Lady in lieu of the gar land. This the young man faithful ly observed until one day while on a journey he had *;o pass through a lonely wood, where robbers were lying in wait. Quite unsuspicious of their presence, he suddenly re membered that his Aves wero not yet said and forthwith stopped to say them. Then, to their surprise, the robbers saw a most glorious lady stand before him and take one after another from the lips of the kneel ing monk fifty beautiful roses, which she wove into a garland and placed upon her head. The robbers, conscience stricken at the vision, were all converted to a Detter life, and themselves soon after entered the monastery.-Londou Telegraph. Dodging a Promise. The youthful attorney secured a verdict in favor of the Irishman charged with murder on the ground of temporary insanity. Hoi aid not meet his client again for several months, when the following 're marks were exchanged between them: . "Well, Pat, isn't it about time you gave me that extra $200 ?"

Pat scratched his head for a m?n ate and then with a smile outlawed the claim with the remark : "Oh, well, but ye know Oi was crazy thin." - Philadelphia Tele graph. Ona Way to Maka Chang?. A struggling, modest lawyer near Stroudsburg, says the Philadelphia Times, received a call from a well to do farmer who was in need of professional advice concerning his rights, which he thought ignored by a section gang on a railroad. Tho lawyer looked up the statutes, told the farmer exactly what ho should do and when asked as to the fee replied, "Well, lef s call it just $3." The farmer passed over a five dollar bill, which seemed to embar rass the lawyer, who searched through his pockets and the draw ers of his desk. Then he pocketed the fe, reached for a digest, sat down and remarked, "I guess, neigh bor, I'd best give you $2 worth more advice." ' "\ A Cene?dar?io Host.

' RHEUMATISM. |1 The Despair and Reproach of tho 1 Medical Profession. It waa by rheumatic twinges in his joints that Adam was able to fo.ocast foul weather, and it Was rheumatism- -which tortured Noah during the damp days of the deluge. Old as this malady is known to be, it still remains the same stupendous and baffling mystery and the same despair and reproach of the medical profession. Now, as before the Christian era, its treatment is em pirical and its prognosis blind guess work. Of all the manifold afflic tions which restrain tho natural gayety of mankind this elusive dis ease is the least about which the doctors have any right to dogma tize. Their proper attitude toward rheumatism is one of humility and awe. However, with arrogance vhich approa^ies shameless effrontery, they have recently affirmed that it is contagious; that a person of the most blameless life may acquire ita seeds by consorting with a rheu matic friend or neighbor under fa voring circumstances. It may be so; but, considering their appalling ignorance of its causes and its na ture and what tissues it involves, they can show no warrant for any such alarming announcement. Surely it is enough that tho rheu matic sufferer is without the hope of human aid, is the victim of the physician's impotence and is al ready shunned by the sensitive as a center of moral pestilence without his being .proscribed as a source of physical infection. Pugnacity, ir ritability and sometimes even pro fanity are characteristic of acute rheumatism. The moral descent of a good man in the throes of this ail ment is as pathetic as it is deplora ble, so piteous, indeed, that con siderate friends who are expert at j dodging often leave harmless mis siles within his reach that he may vary the monotony of pain with the I pleasure of personal assault. To proclaim that rheumatism is con tagious is to drive from the pres ence of the victim all sympathetic ! friends and condemn him to the ex I elusive care of the hardened profes sional nurse.-New York Times. Recipe For Happiness. One of the youngest looking wo men we have ever known was one whose principle in life was never to expect too much o? people, and in this lies the great secret of happi ness. A large amount of worry and trouble comes from our too great expectations of people. We expect too much of our children, for ex ample. They must be gifted, beau tiful, obedient little compendiums of all the virtues, and if they are not all thia we thirk bitter things and sow wrinkles and gray hair and ill health for ourselves, says Woman's Life. What right have we to ex pect so much of our own children ? Blessed is the parent who looks tol erantly and -philosophically on the faults of his children and who real izes that he has no right to expect too much of children os long as the law of heredity holds good. Unless we ourselves are gifted, beautiful And obedient tu ??he will oz some body else Wo have nc right to expect such perfections of our children. Treatment Per Burns. . For a dry burn there is nothing better than equal parts o$[ linseed oil and limewater. This makea the carron oil, which the Welsh min ero Tt?o in casa of burns. It should have a place in every closet where household remedies are kept. In applying it shake ibo bottle, satur ate a soft cloth with the mixture and lay over the burn. Then cover closely with cotton batting or flan nel to keep out every bit of air and secure the whole with a light band age. Bums may also be treated by covering with a thick'layer or any bland oil like veselin. sweet oiL lin seed oil, castor oil, butter, lard, co coanut oil, cocoa butter* cold cream or almost any fat that is not rancid. Glycerin should not bo used. It is too irritating. Soft powders like flour, laundry or cornstarch may alsoi be dusted on thickly, then bound on._ They All Looked.

Some of tho old inhabitants of a mall Now England city were ex changing reminiscences the other lav about the establishment of its >olice department. The force waa small in numbers, but one of its nembers wa? almost a giant in size, ? feet 4Vs inches tall and broadly milt. There chanced to bo a hitch lbout the delivery of the men's uni forms, so that only ono was received promptly, and the Goliath of the force stalked forth in his splendor ?lone. Naturally he created a sensation. As he patrolled tho long, winding street that ran the whole length of the place thero were many com ments upon his personal appearance, most of which were discreetly ut tered after he had passed out of hearing. - At length, however, a shambling, shabby, sly eyed, crack witted ne'er do well stepped up and touched the gorgeous figuro on tho arm. "Say, mister," ho whispered hum blyr "tell me tho safest law to break, and I'll break it for tho honor of walking down Main street with them buttons." The information requested was not vouchsafed, and the giant marched on in his buttons and his dignity. But a little farther along a small boy who was playing in the front yara was no less impressed, although more bewildered, by the glittering and mighty apparition. He gave ono look, eyes ana mouth at their roundest, and then indoors, crying to his mother: "Oh, mamma, look, look I Is ho war or the circus ?" Even after he had become a fa miliar figure to the citizens tho huge guardian of the peace retained somo of his impressiveness. To one pris oner at least ho so embodied the ter rors of the law that tho man sub mitted tb an arrest which a few words of explanation at the time could have averted. When in court he did at length explain, the judge mqnifou in astonishment why ho had not done BO before. Smiling confidentially at his honor, the ac cused replied: "Well, judge, it's like this : You're folks; but aa for that Bunker Hill monument with a helmet on top, he may be a first rate handcufnn' ma chine, but he ain't a man.

Tho half smoked cigarette lies upon the ash tray in a gloss tube. A little revolver lies before the mirror. Upon each of the ta bles and upon several chairs is a loosely folded clean handkerchief, for it was the czar's wish to have one of these always within reach of his hand.
