The soaking rain is pouring down— How It would fill your cup With bitterness if somo day It Should start to pouring up! UmbrellM then would be no use. And men in rubber boots Would have to go, while all the girl* Would put on bathing suits. You'd have a fountain on your lawn Beside each blade of grass. To keep your cellar warm and dry You’d need a floor of glass. If you were camping in a tent. You’d have to sleep on top. And all night you’d be praying that The cursed rain might stop. In fact, great inconveniences Too numerous to state Would follow if the falling rain Should cease to gravitate. So let ns hope there'll be no change. At least in our town. And that instead of pouring up The rain will still pour down. —Somerville Journal. THE CABECILLA. The good father was finishing his mass when they brought him the prisoners. It was a wild spot among the Arichule gni mountains. A fallen rock in which a fig tree had plunged its twisted trunk formed a sort of altar, covered in guise of a cloth with a silver fringed Carlist standard. Two cracked water coolers took the place of vases, and when the sacristan Miguel, who was assisting the priest at the mass, arose in order to change the position of the holy books, the cartridges were heard jingling in his cartridge box. All around tho soldiers of Carlos were silently ranged, their guns slung across their backs and one knee on the ground upon the whit" beret. 1 he bright sun was concentrating its dazzling heat in this burning and sonor ous rocky hollow, where the flight of a blackbird alone, from time to time, dis turbed the psalmody of the priest and the servant. Higher up on the jagged peak sentinels were standing, forming motionless silhouettes against the sky. What a singular sight it was—this priestly commander officiating in the midst of his soldiers! And how plainly the double existence of the Cabecilla showed itself upon his countenance— the ecstatic air, the hard features, further accentuated by the bronzed com plexion of the soldier in the field, and ascetism without pallor, in which was lacking the shadow of the cloister; small black, very brilliant eyes, the forehead traversed by enormous veins which seemed to bind the thought as with ropes, to fix it in an inextricable obstin acy. Every time he turned toward the spec tators with open arms to read the Dominus Vobiscum, one saw the uni form beneath the stole, and the butt of a pistol,the haft of a Catalonian knife up lifting the rumpled surplice. “What is he going to do with ns?” the prisoners asked themselves in terror, and while awaiting the end of the mass they re called all the acts of ferocity which had been related of the Cabecilla and which had won him a special renown in the royalist army. By a miracle that morning the father was in a clement mood. The mass in the open air, his success of the previous day, and also the cheerfulness of Easter, yet felt by this strange priest, cast upon "his face a ray of joy and kindness. As soon as the service was over, while the sa cristan cleared off the altar, fastening np the sacred vases in a huge box, which was borne on the back of a mule in the rear of the expedition, the cure ad vanced toward the prisoners. They were a dozen of republican carbineers, ex hausted by a day of battle and a night of anguish in the straw of the sheepfold, where they had been penned up after the action. Yellow with fear, wan with hunger, thirst and fatigue, they clus tered together like a flock of sheep in tHfc courtyard of an abattoir. Their uniforms full of hay, their belts in disorder, pushed np in the flight and 1 in sleep, the dust which wholly covered 1 them from the tufts of their caps to the j points of their yellow shoes, all con-1 tributed well to give them that sinister look of the vanquished in which moral discouragement is betrayed by physical I dejection. Ihe Cabecilla glanced at them for an instant with a little laugh of triumph. He was not sorry to see the soldiers of the republic humble, wan and ragged amid well fed, well equipped Carlists, ! Navarre and Basque mountaineers as brown and hard as carob beans. “Viva Dios! my children!” said he to 1 them with a good natured air. “The re public nourishes her defenders very ill. Why, you are all as thin as the wolves of the Pyrenees, when the mountains are covered with snow and they come into the plain to sniff the odor of the table by the lights which shine under the doors of the houses. One is treated otherwise in the service of the good cause. Would you like to make a trial of it, hermanos? Cast off those infamous caps and put on the white beret. As truly as this is the holy day of Easter, to those who will shout, 'Long live the king!' 1 will give their livqs and the same campaign food I give my other soldiers!” Before the good father had finished all the caps were in the air, and shouts of “Long live King Carlos!” “Long live the Cabecilla!” resounded on the moun tain. Poor devils! They had been in such great fear of death, and so tempt ing were all those good victuals which they smelled close to them, about to be broiled in the shelter of rocks before the bivouac fires, pink and faint in the bright sunlight, I believe that never was the pretender acclaimed with such good will. “Give them something to eat at once,” said the cure, laughing. “When wolves yelp with that strength, it's because they have sharp teeth!" The carbineers went off. But one among them, the youngest, remained standing in front of the chief in a proud and resolved attitude, which contrasted with his juvenile features and the fine down, scarcely colored, enveloping his cheeks with a blond powder. His capote, which was too large for him, was wrin kled at the back and on the arms, was turned up at the sleeves over two slight wrists, and by its fullness made him look still younger and more slender. There was excitement in his long, bril liant eyes—Arab eyes, intensified by Spanish flame. And this fixed flaino annoyed the Cabecilla. “What do you want?” he asked of him. “Nothing. I am waiting for you to decide on my fate.” “Your fate will he that of the others. I named no one. The pardon was for all.” “The others are traitors and cowards' I alone did not shout anything!” The Cabecilla gave a start and looked him full in the face. “Wliat’s your name?” “Tonio Vidal.” “Whence come you?” “From Fuycerda.” “What age?” “Seventeen.” “The republic, then, has no more men, since sho 13 reduced to enrolling chil dren?” “I was not enrolled, padre. I am a volunteer.” “You know, fellow, that I have more than one means of making you shout ‘Long live the king!’ ” The youth assumed a superb look. “I defy you to do so!” retorted he. “So you would rather die?” “A hundred times!” “Very well, you shall die!” Then the cure made a sign, and the ex ecution platoon came and ranged itself around the (.limed, who did not wince. This sublime courage touched the chief with pity. He demanded: “Have you nothing to ask of mo first? Don’t you want something to eat? Don’t you waut something to drink?” “No,” answered the youth; “hut I am a good Catholic, and I don’t want to go before God without confession." The Cabecilla still wore his surplice and his stole. ivneel, said he, seating himself upon a rock, and tho soldiers having \ ill drawn a short distance, tho condemned began in a low voice: “Bless me, my father, because I have sinned!” Bnt in the midst of tho confession a terrible fusillade burst forth at the en trance of the defile. “To arms!” cried the sentinels. The Cabecilla gave a bound, issued his orders, distributed the posts and scattered his soldiers. He himself had seized a carbine without taking the time to remove his surplice, when, hap pening to turn around, he perceived the youth still on his knees. “What r.re you doing there?” he thundered. “I am awaiting absolution,” was tho reply. “That's true,” said the priest. “I had forgotten you.” Gravely he raised his hand and blessed that bowed young head. Then, before go ing away, after glancing around him for the platoon of execution, dispersed in the disorder of tho attack, he drew off a step, took aim at his penitent and shot him.—Alphonse Daudet. Faring Certain Death. With his foot caught and firmly held in a frog on the Reading railroad track at West Falls, John Duffy met death in fearful form. Duffy was employed as a brakeman by the Reading company, and ran ahead of his train to open a switch. That duty performed, he signaled his engineer to bring on the train. His signal was observed, and as the train came toward him Duffy found that his foot was caught firmly in a frog. He shouted for help and made fi..:iMc efforts to release himself, but in vain. The noise of the puffing engine drowned his cries, and when tho engi neer saw tho struggling man in the full glare of the headlight it was too late to save his life. Swiftly the great engine bore down on the frantic prisoner, and though the the lever was reversed and the brake put down hard the locomotive struck Duffy and he was literally cut in two. Death was instantaneous, but the expression on tlio dead face showed plainly the ter rible agony the man had endured for a few seconds.—Philadelphia Record. A Heating Scheme. A plan of heating mills has been in troduced by which heated air is deliv ered from a large fan into flues in the walls, registers from each flue delivering the air into the different rooms, this air being heated by the waste gases from the boiler. The products of combustion pass from the boilers through econo mizers for heating the feed water, next through a regenerator for reheating the steam exhausted from the high pressure cylinder and on its way to the low pres sure cylinder, and then passes through air pipes, where it heats the cold air for heating the buildings, then passes to the Chimney. If heated air is not wanted, but only cool air for ventilation, the gases from the boiler are turned by a damper into the chimney without entering the heater, and if the gases are not sufficient to heat the air as desired additional heat is supplied by radiators of steam in this heater. The temperature of the air is raised about 00 degrees by its contact with the hot gases.—New York Sun. Reading by Candle Light. “I must inveigh,” says an oculist “against the candle as a night reading light. It is quite a custom, I find, for sleepless folks to keep a candle at th ir bedside and rely upon it for light during wakeful hours that are passed in read ing. As the flame flickers with the slightest current of air, the light is un certain and waving and most trying to the eyes. A small reading lamp takes a few seconds longer to light, but it is much to be preferred.” Stiige Fright. “Did you ever have stage fright?” asked the interviewer. “Once.” “When was that?” “When I met some road agents while traveling in the Rocky mountains.”— Washington star.
