I started to my feet in a tremor of fright asthLs cry rang through my room, anil gazed at the partition wall which divided my apartment from the room next to it "in helpless terror. Then I bethought me of the hall, and rushing out there I knocked on the door next to mine. Silence, followed by a low demoniacal laugh! 'What is the matter?" I called. 'Open the door, if you need help." A voice evidently that of an aged woman, called out: "Go away!" Then I could hear her laugh and mut ter to herself, and I went back to my room. On the way I met the boy who was janitor ot the building. "Who has No. 27?" "Some crazy vomans," he answered in disrespectful haste, and was gone be fore I could ak another question. A mad woman in the next room! Surely fate was unkind to me. I had comehere to improve my own mind, and found myself tete-a-tete with idiocy. I could move out. but I had only just moved in. and ducats were as scarce as hen's teeth. I was preparing myself for dramatic readings, and spent the most part of my time in the drill work of the profession, with intervals devoted to the rendering of classical music, con amore. I comforted myself with the belief that however hard my poor demented neighbor shrieked and raved iu her insane ebullitions, I could drown her out with an opposition bedlam, and I decided to -tay where I was and attend to my own affairs. If 1 had only done so! "Mind your own business" is a home lv formula, but it i a little classic of sensible, pertinent advice, which we would do well to engrave ou the ritual of our daily live- in letters of gold. So much for parenthesis. I studied aloud. I raved and ranted to develop my voice. I paced my chamber in a lunir white gown and hold ing a tallow candle in my rigid hand, while I strode up ami down, repeated in sepulchral tones: O-w-it dam-n-ed spot, owit I say one-two: why then tis' time to "S:ive me! -ave me! help! help! for God's ake. help!" I dropped ni candle, jumped into bed. and drew the bed-clothes over my head. There! la and shivered until morniuir- Then I saw a pale, still woman with a resolute face, coming out of number 21. "How i- your patient?"" I asked hur riedly :t -lie pa-.-ed me on the landing. The woman -tared at me a moment as if -he did not iiite under-tand. "The the in-aue woman," I ex plained. "Oh. ye-, much better, but I cannot stop to talk.'" and she hastened away while I wondered whether -he was a nurse to the mysterious woman shut up there, or a relathe. possibly a daughter. I decided ou the latter when I over heard the fond language she used to ward the poor demented creature. Never a harsh or reproachful word, but the tender endearment- of an affection that was as self--acriticing as only the strongest lilial love cau be. And so proud ami careful of the unconscious sunerer that no eye was allowed to rest upon her in that wretched state. I honored and respected such devo tion, and soon iu my own way I longed to assist the -ad and" silent woman, who shrunk from the advances of strangers, in her labor of love. I began by leav ing tiny bunches of flowenTat the door. Then -mall offerings of fruit, and I had a selfish reward in the silence and peace that followed each occa-ion. I could hear the patient softly laughing or talk ing to her-elf, and I even "imagined she had learned to expect ihe tributes of my sympathy. Who knew? Itmi'shteven act as a new mind cure, this outside di version from an unknown source. Several times I had tried to talk with the daughter as I had decided her to be but her manner was so reserved, and so strange, that I began to think she. too, was non compos mentis; that thev were, in fact, a mad familv. But I had learned that she tilled a responsible position during the day, and that her whole life wa.- given up to the cheerless society of the wreck whom she protected with such deotion that I had never yet caught a 2"limp-e of her. I felt that to help such a -orrow was a privilege, and 1 desired no thanks or acknowledjr- ment. Anu vet l will contess it now it was sometimes hard to bear. The ravinss of insanity are never pleasant to lis- - ten to. but there was a peculiar weird- ness m the mutiied cries that rang through the deadening walls. i But there came a climax, as there ' does to most of the tragedies of life, and it diil not come a moment too soon, for I had fallen into a nervous condition that, if I had been a tine ladv. would have caused my friends and myself great apprehension. But I am not a hne lady, and the few friends I had lived far awav and did not trouble them selves about me. And I had become Sews. absorbed, fascinated, haunted by the I - nameless terror on the the other s"ide of j Of the origin of the work "jingo" my partition. I too, was beginning to , a correspondent of the London Specta Iaugh hysterically: to scream "help" I tor savs: "It seems likelv enough that and" "murder" in my sleep: to mutter, the word is pure Basque." 'Jinco' is the and jabber incoherent words. My face J Basque for Dieu!" The Basques were had grown white and wild looking. I famous sailors in the last centurv and fancied that even next door neighbor avoided me, as if afraid cf me ha! ha! the idea is too funny! One evening, just at dusk. I went home from a rehearsal for a performance in which I was to appear, and, all ab sorbed in nry part, toiled wearily up to my room in the fourth story and" walked in without unlocking the door, so un conscious was I of my surroundings. But the room was lighted and a woman sat there sewing; the furniture was strange nothing was mine. I had made a mistake and walked into No. 27. The woman who sat there alone rose as if ashamed and stepped back. "I beg your pardon." I said, as I re covered myself, "but it seems I have made a mistake. I was thinking so busilv. Idid not notice." "Won't you sit down? Take this " "I'll kill you! Help! help!" shrieked a discordant voice the voice that haunted me. I started in sudden fright; every nook and corner was visible to the eye": the bed was there, white and unoccu pied; no one was present except we two. " Wlut is it? What is it?" I gasped, turning pale and sick. "lly parrot."' said the woman, calm ly, pointing to a gray African parrot sitting sleepily in a cage in the corner. "I dare say she often amuses you with her noise. " She is a very tragic bird. I am very choice of her, but some day you may "borrow her, if you like her for company." "1 would like to ring her neck," I said and went home. The next time I met the janitor I asked him how ho dared to tell me there was a crazy woman in that room. "Ala vimmins bees crazy," he said, with a cynical smile. "I tells her you vas crazy mit your own selluf." "Told her I "was crazy?" "Yees, and she was afriect, too." Then I was a mad woman. I had been fooled and outwitted by a lout of a boy, and that bird I most despised, a poll" parrot. Mrs. M. L. Payne. t Detroit Free Press. Life at Obied. Obeid, just now. is not a pleasant place to live in. Imagine a vast camp in a desen; the white canvas tent re placed by a square, ill-proportioned hut, constructed of corn-stalks, and roofed with rude mats woven from straw or palm leaves; a mass of dismantled mud houses rising in the center, with here and there a cluster of palm leaves, and you have a fair idea of the picture pre sented by El Obeid, the headquarters o the new "Mussulman prophet. El Obeid owes its present name to a legend which attributes to a white ass the discov ery of water in the locality. The orig inal name of the town was Kordofan, and it is still alternately known by that name. On this point there seems to be some confusion in the public and official mind, as Kordofan is frequently spoken of as having a separate and distinct ex istence. This is not so. Kordofan be fore it became historical as Elbe Oid was a flourishing town of some thirty thousand inhabitants, and the chief cen ter of trade with the province of the same name and the southwestern re gions of Darfur. The legend relates that at a time when the water difficulty was pressing, a white ass of the town used to go into the neighboring desert, and. digging up the sand with his fore feet, supply himself with water at a few inches from the surface. This trick was in time discovered, and, the people of the region profiting by the discovery, the town of Kordofan was enabled to extend ami grow to importance. The legend which attributed this important discovery to El Homar el Abbiyad (that is, "the "White Ass,") grew at "the same time. The event became celebrated in common speech as "El Abbiyad." the White, and this in the local dialect is pronounced El Obeid. Hence the new name, which is likely not soon to be forgotten. On the capture of Obeid by the Mehdi's followers, the distributing trade of which it had been the center almost disappeared, and a mam of the principal merchants as could get away (led to Khartoum, Berber. Dongola. or Darfur. It is calculated that the normal population fell from thirty to twenty thousand. This lo-s. however, was more than made good by the arrival of from thirty-tive tt forty thousand of the Mehdi's army, who camped in the place and still surround iheir chief. These are the core of the Mehdi's forces. Wherever he goes thev accompany him, and act the part of a corps d'elite whenever there is heavy fighting to be done. As these men are animated at once with the religious and socialistic fanaticism which the Mehdi has succeeded in awakening, their presence in Obeid is not likely to lead to any permanent extension of the town, if it should not. on the contrary, lead to its disappearance. For it must be re membered that the socialism of the Mehdi's followers differs considerably from the socialism of the Paris fau bourgs. Their ideal is essentiallv Arab. Thev do not pine after national work shops and regulation by Government of every act ot their lives. What they desire is that there should be no Gov ernment except the Government of Allah and the Koran, and of course their prophet. They want no soldiers, no pashas, no bimbashas to bully and rob them. If there is any righting to be done they will do it themselves: and as for police, with their spear and shield they will do their own police duty, too. The tendency, therefore, of the present movement is to destroy towns, and with them the evils which grow with their growth, and to return to what seems to them the natural state of man the free, wandering life of an Arab en campment. With these views, it is not wonderful that almost the lirst act of the Mehdi on capturing Obeid was, as I h ave already stated, to issue orders I that no one" should live in a house. However disagreeable this ukase mav have been, it bad to be obeyed. Most of the houses are in ruins, and if no event should happen to disturb the reign of the new "Prince of Kordofan." it Is probable that Obeid will exist only as an Arab encampment. To the wild ' man of the south even a garden is an I abomination, and at Barra. the many beautiful gardens which existed before the war have been almost wholly de stroyed, the Arabs cutting down the fruit trees and giving their branches as fodder to their camels. The regular followers of Mohammed Ahmed have I constructed for themselves huts of siian, such as iua uk sckii hi iui ix:- douin encampment in the desert about Obeid, so that in the mere matter of ex tent the town has assumed the propor tions of a citv of straw. Cor. London . u . u u the centurv before, and our own seamen may have caught the word from them without understanding it. This expla nation was given me some years ago by a friend, who hail it from the lips of the Basque scholar. Prince Lucien Bona parte." - Henrv F Waters, the London agent of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, has discovered among the records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury the will of Sir George Downing. " The Boston Post says: 'It is an interesting fact that he, a Salem boy, a graduate of Harvard College in the famous first class of 1642, has given his name to Downing Street, known the world over as the official residence of the Prime Minister of England." For the ViA. The npek ;s dre-s d -eve:.'v tr rev ent with tne street and t a e"- g dresse- and for morning dresses i the house al-o. The straight high English collar of linen with square corners broken over slightly and a row of very delicate embroidery is the favorira choice. To this there U sometime added a small shield-like piece in front to serve as chemisette with open throat dress waists. The lapped standing bands of linen are still u-ed as collars, also those that meet without lapping, having a narrow ribbon passed through button-holes near the top. and tied in a bow. Pique collars and dickeys are liked with traveling dresses, and are shown in white, ecru, and brown. There are also many percale collars of dark porcelain blue shades with small figures: stripes of bars of white, and other color are seen in these also. The battlemented squares of white cambric, or of pink or blue squares alternating with whites quares. are basted in the neck of young ladies dresses. There is a return to the use of cuffs to match the collar by many who gave them up. not because a white finish at the wrist was ob jectionable but because k was difficult to get good-fitting cuffs of small size3. The Jersey cuffs are now chosen because they are of neat sizes, scarcely measuring three inches in depth, and of different widths, to suit arms of all seizes. These come in linen, pique, and percale, and are worn with linked sleeve-buttons or with the double coin buttons of old silver or gold that are now in favor. A new cra vat worn with English costumes is of checked ribbon two inches wid fash ioned into a narrow standing collar bv being doubled over a stiff lining, and closed in front by a pretty Imw of threo loops and three ends. A dog-collar of black or dark velvet tied inasmall bow on the left ide is worn bv young ladies w'th a standing linen collar. The flat cravats like those worn by men are now of very light silk or satin" with a pretty scarf pin stuck in them. French women wear at the throat the Louis Quatorze bow of white muslin and lace in the large sizes worn here two years ago. Gathered plastrons of chemisettes of Oriental lace with a frill around the neck are. as we have already said, worn inside surplice waists of co'ored dresses, while those of jetted net are for bla-k dresses. Lace frills for basting inside the neck and sleeves are of Valen ciennes or Oriental lace only an inch wide laid in full side plaits and sewed on tape. Crepe lisse for the same pur pose takes the form of leaves or scallops in double rows, or else it is a crimped puff like that known as Fedora frilling. Lace scarfs and kerchiefs are little used in the street, as the severe styles are preferred, but for those who must dress the neck with more fullness there are jetted net scarfs that take the place of the Spanish lace fichus so long worn. Ilarver's Bazar. Wealth of the English Church. The English Church is enormously rich. Precisely what its income is the two Archbishops who are at the head of the establishment alone know, and they keep that knowledge to themselves: but with tithes, glebe, pew rents, and other sources of revenue included, the income is over .-O.00O.0OO per annum. Some of the most valuable propertv in the Lnitetl Kingdom belongs to the Church of England, which ha held it ever since it was taken away frjni the Roman Catholics and bestowed by Henry VIII. on his church to make the fealty of the newly created bishops cer tain and sure. The Archbishop of 'an terbury has an income of j'T't.MX) a year, and the Archiepiscopal Palace given him as a residence besides. The fortunate holder of this pleasant posi tion Is Right Hon. and Most Rev. Ed ward White Benson, who succeeded Archbishop Tait in 182. He has a staff (I do not know what else to call them) of seven persons, the head of which is a dean. the Very Rev. R. Payne Smith, who receives 10. 000 a year, and six canons one an archdeacon who each get o,000 a year, beside res.dence--, etc. The Arch bishop of York is paid SoO.OuO a year, and has also a large household of of ficials, such as prebendaries, minor canons and other clergymen. The oth er Bishops are paid as follows: Right Hon. and Right Hev. John Jackson. Bishop of London, has SV,000 a vear; Lightfoot. Bishop of Durham. 3,000 (his dean. Very Kev. C. W. Lake, is al lowed 315,000 for assisting his superior, which he does by preaching one sermon a week): Edw'ard Harold Browne, Bishop of Winche-ter. 5'3.,500: Right Rev. James R. Woodford. Bishop of Ely (it is he of whom Thackeray speak3 under the thin disguise of "The Bishop of Ealing5 ). 27.500. The Bishops of Bath, Lincoln, Oxford. Salisbury and Worcester each receive 25,000, and the others are paid from22.500tol5. 000, and finally the Bishop of Sodorand Man. who has neither eathedral nor dean, gets 10.000 annually, principal ly for aoing nothing. London Truth. He Had the Oxberenee. The events in Wall street called up an " oxberenee " story that mav be old. but is not quite decayed yet. anyway.

Said a well-known florist to a report er yesterday, in response to the query whether he ever saw a century-plant in bloom: "Only once, and that was a great many years ago. in a conservatory in Ijndon.wheu a plant, generallv sup posed to have attained the age of one hundred vears. began to show signs ot life bv seudingout a stem in the center. I which grew from seven to eight inches dxi:. It at once began to attract gen- I eral"ttteution. The stem grew larger I every day. The plant was moved from i place to place, for the glass roof was j not high enough, until, as a last resort. . t was placed under the cupola. Before I many days the stem reached the cupola Toof." and. in onler that its progress ! might not be retarded, the glass was re- i moved and the roof raised. When the stem had attained a height of about forty-five feet, if I remember rightly, it stopped growing, and numerous small ! branches grew out of the main stem. each of which was topped with a cluster ' of magnificent greenish-yellow llower-, 1 forming a solii tnishof beautiful l!oweiN of about ten feet in height.

At times it will not bloom 1 unless it has attained the age of one ! hundred years, but there are not many 1 aloes in northern climates which attain . such an age." ! "Are thev a popular house-plant in i this region?" "Yes they are growing in popn , larlty every year but. as a rule, people j do not know how to treat them, and ' the consequence is that they die be. ore they are any kind of an ornament." i "What do you cou-ider a proper I mode of treatment of the plant0" I "In the first place they must be ' placed in a wooden pot, pad or keg -earthenware pots are iiable to be in i jurious.

Dr. Bu-by, once the master of the high school, was celebrated for severe discipline: but though severe he was not ill-natured. It is said that one day when he was absent frm his study a boy found some plums in his chair and at once began to eat them, first waggish ly saying: "I publish the banns of matri mony between my mouth and these plums. If any here present knows just cause of impediment why they should not be united, you are now to declare it or ever after hold your peace." Tho Doctor overheard the proclamation, but said nothing till next morning, when, cailing the boy up. he grasped his well known instrument, saying. "I publish the banns of matrimony between this rod and this boy. If any one knows any just cause or impediment why they should not be united let him now de clare it or ever after hold his peace." The boy himseif said; "I forbid the .banns." "For what causer asked the Doctor. 'Because." said the boy, "the parties are not agreed." The boy's ready wit pleased the Doctor, and the uauoa was indefinitely postponed. (Ft) Gzst. FACTS ad mm. There is land in the city of New York worth 1500,000 an acre. A"; F. Sua.
