Thii privileKO bad been denied thetu lately, and their hearts respoued with joy to the invitation. Ma wiiu was better, or she could not see them. The doctor had cured her. They would love hiiu for it all their lives! She was very pale, but ainiliu, aud her first words lo them were: "I am going on a journey. "A journey!" cried iho children. "Will you take us with you?" "No; it is a long, loDg journey." "Maiuiua is going to the South," said Kai); "the d ictuf has ordered her to. Shu will gut well io the orange groves of Florida." "I am going to a fur distant oouutry, more beautiful tlian even the lovely South," said the mother, faiotly, "aud I will not come back." "You are going alone, mamma?" asked Katy. "No," said I lie mother, in a low, sweet Voice, "I am not going aloue. My phy eicau goes with me. Kiss me good bye, my dear ones, for io the morning be fore you are awake I shall be gone. You will come to me when you are made ready, but each must make the journey aloue." In the morning she was gone. Whi the children awoke their father told Ihem of the beautiful country at which mother had safely arrived while she slept. "How did she go? Who came fur her? they asked, amid their tears. "The chariot of Ureal aud the horse men thereof!" their father told them olcuinly. People wonder at the peace and hap piness eipresscd in the faces of these motherless children. When asked about their mother they say, "She has gone on a mrney," and every night and morning they read in her Guide-book of that land whero she uow lives, whose inhabitants shall no more say, 'I am sick,' anil here Uod shall wipe all tears from their eyes."

It's iUiicr not to say a source of ohagriu tlie difference between our in tentions and our performances, isn't il ?" said a commercial traveler at one of the hotels the uthcr nkht. ''I was in the Hotel Ilaldwin fire in San Fruncisco and lost everything I had along with me, in eluding a thousand and odd dollars' worth of jewelry and all of my sample Cases but one and I was glad to get out with my life at that. It was the first hotel fire io which I had figured. I had often menially calculated upon what I should do in case a hotel io which I was a guest should begin to coufltgrute. I was going to be the coolest headed uiuu within a radius of many miles. If the fire should break out io the middle of the night while I was in bed, I intended to get up very coolly upon being awakened, deliberately slip on enough clothing to keep me out of tbe hands of I lie police upon making my appearance, get my money and then pick up my most valuable sample case and the valise in which I hud packed articles of clothing iu current use aud walk out, leaving the rest of my geur to take its chaneu upon the fire being fiiiclchcd. (Iu my wuy through I ho corridors, io case I met up with any beautiful, supplicatiog maidens or any aged, incapable women, I had it pictured how I would drop my two grips and take them down the seething stair case, one on each arm, presenting a heroic and inspiring spectacle as I emerged from the culdrou of (Lines. "Well, what happened? Luckily for me, I had a third story front room in the Baldwin. The fire broke out in the basement along toward II o'clock in the morning. I snored luxur'ously until about adcz-u engines were throwing streams on the lower portion of the structute. When I waa iu the middle of a dream that I was standing io front of a lot of big stores od a great business thoroughfare, throwing croquet balls through huge plate glass windows it was the smashing glass down below that got uie iuto that strain of dreaming 1 woke up The glare io my room was something luminous. Did I slowly stretch, say to myself, 'Here's that long waited loi fire, aud it's up to me to be the man of the hour and the real thiog?' "Not much did 1 ! I just hopped up like a man who fiuds a family of ceuti peds io his bid. I grabbed a pair ol lubbers that were lyiog alongside my bed and put them on the wrong feet, giving all the time during the performance a realistic eihibitioo of a man undergoing a swamp chill. Then I snatched a mack iutush that I had thrown over my trunk on coming in the night before and folded il after considerable difficulty, owing tu my chill tiemblings, over my pj.nuas Theo I reached for a hat, and of course it was about my luck to get the worst hat I owued out of half a dono scattered over tho room Then I made for the door. I want you to understand that I made for the door in a hurry too. "On my way to I lie door I stumbled over one of my sample eases and kicked it over iu frout of the dour. I had to pick it up io order to open tbe door, and ao I hung on to it and took it along with me. 1 afteiward found it to be the least const queotial sample case I had, one that I could very easily have dispensed with compared with those that I lost. Jewelry? Money ? Duds? I wasn't thinking any more of I hem when I frantically uulocked and unbarred that door of mine than I waa of taking a balloou befure breakfast io the morning aud starting for the oorih pole. I just wanted tu get oul, that's ail.

No, I wouldu'l have. It'a griev ous and grewsome to have to cunt'em it, but I'd just have yelled at them to follow my route and then have kept ou geiiiug over territory myaeif. I fell down the first flight of stairs, from top to bottom, then picked myself up with the one idea of getting out, scampered to the head of tho second mght ot alalia and fell down those. I lit on the flagging of the lobby, and io two more seconds I was io the street. When, a few minutes later, I reflected upon my loss and the general hamlike character of my oooduct, did I "It was done su nicely that I couldn't get mad," explained ihe drummer who was spending a few days home. "While I was out on my last trip I arrived otic day at a towu where some sort of eele- brutioo was being held, and when I tried tu get a room at the only hotel in the towo, the clerk said he was sorry, but every room io the house was engaged. "Now, at one time I waa a telegraph operator, and when I was wailing for trains I amine J myself by reading the messages going over Ihe wires. It sud denly struck me that while at a railway station dowo the line I bud read a mes sage asking the clerk at the hotel where the celebration was being held to reserve a room. It was signed by a mao by ilie oume of Brown; and it occurred to me that it was a good chance to run a bluff? "Didn't you get my telegram?" said I. 'Browo's my name' " 'Oh, beg pardon, Mr. Brown!' ex claimed the clerk, 'we have a room re served for you all right.' "Well, the joke was too good to keep aud when I rau across a couple of discou solate drummers who had been unable to get rooms, and were bewailing the fact that they would have to camp in the office chairs lor the night, I told them how 1 had succeeded io getting a room. "There was a quiet little man sitting oear who took it all in, and when I ar rived at the point where tbe laugh cuuic io he said, with a smile, that he was sor ry to disappoint me, but his name was Brown, nnd he would trouble me for his loom. "I willed right then and there, aud in vited every one to have something at my expense, aud the quiet little man had the nerve to include himself in the invitation. "Well, along about miduight, wheu I Was trying to get to sleep doubled up in an office chair. I heard some odc qour reling with the night clerk. " 'I till you my name is Brown!' roar ed the voice.

When ever the elder Sothern arrived at a town one of his first means of diversion was to stroll about the streets aud have fun with the Datives. He was in Chicago daring its earliest days, and one day lie saw a sign over an undertaker's establish ment which read: "Kverytbing Furnished For First Class Funerals." Going inside, he inquired, "Do you furnish everything for funerals?" "Yes, sir," replied tho clerk. "Then I want a coffin." "Do you want carriages too?" "Yes; have five ready." "Certainly, sir. Anything else?" "Three doi -o chairs." "Anything else?'' "You might have a hearse ready. And oow I would like to look at a corpse." The clerk was auiuicd. "Now," said Sotheio, "you advertise to furnish everything for funerals. If you can't do the thiug thoroughly, 1 shall have to ptronin another store."

The boarding school fire is usually what is known among in-iir ance men as a curtain (ire, but a curtain fire in a girls' school is more exciting and causes more casualties than an ordinary blaz; anywhere else. One evening lust week two girls, who occupy a microscopic hall bedroom iu a swell up town school, took ihe globes off the gas fmuiesl'or hair curling purposes aud left them off, because it was easier to do that than to put them on again. Then the girls raised the window a tutie iu order to cool the room and dutifully sat down to wrile home letters. The in evitable happened, aud when girl number one poised her pen iu the air and glanced around the room iu search of inspiration she saw the curtains io a blaze. She screamed. (Jirl number two looked around and echoed ihe scream. Then, wilh promptitude ami discretion, both girls fainted The scream bad attracted the attention of the other girls, who rushed to the scene and then did various and sundry stunts, uccoidiiig to their several dispositions. One fainted, sever al wept, a lew ran out of the bouse, and the rest shouted lor the one man on the premises. When he arrived, things looked rather hopeless. Curtains and woodword were blazing finely. The floor door was lit tered with prostrate forms, and when three girls have fainted on the floor of a hall bedroom there isn't much space in the room for promenading. The man picked his way across the prostrate forms and ordered all the girls who were nut iu a dead faiut to leave the room, but they didn't go until he lost his temper and spoke with a force which isn't com mou in boarding school circlts. Then they flil; but unluckily, there was enemy in the icar. A vigorous and practical Woman from Tex t- had been iuspiied to go after some water. Return ing in mad haste with u large pitchcil'ul of water borue liiiiuiphuutly aloli, she c liidid with the relreuling forces al the door. The pitcher struck the leader of the retreat Miuarely io the face and knocked out two of her front teeth wheieupou the injured girl made the laiiiiiuit trio a quartet and the water carrier dropped her pitcher and went into vi .lent hysiciics. Hysteria, as boarding school teachers know lo their sorrow, is outagious, and the one case touched off the crowd. By the lime teachers arrived upon the scene the fire was out, but the survivors were in a had wuy. It was necessary to put niiie-teutlis of the school tu bed and order wholesale doses of bromide. Even now the girls iosist that they haven't recovered trom the shock sufficiently to do hard sludyiog, and the victims of the water pitcher are both under the care ol trained oursea. As for the man, he gave up his place the next day and confided to the cook that he was going to look for a job in a lunatic asylum, where his boarding school experience would be of value to him.

Lloyd, who has made the journey from Victoria Nyanza, to the mouth of the Kongo io three months, the quickest time on record, using the Kongo Hlcaiiilioat service and railroud for twu-lhiids of the way, trav eled through the great equatorial forest ol which Stanley gave so vivid a desenp li in His route was a little to the south of Stanley's road, and he saw much of the dwarfs who inhabit the forest region. I was three weeks crossing the great forest," he said. '-Often the darkness even at midday is remarkable. Some times I was unable to read at noon, when us you know, the sun near the equator is almost directly overhead. Oue day 1 1 tried to photograph my tent, but failed on account of the dimness of tbe light. I walked throughout the forest journey, hough I had a saddle ass with me. I could not use him without constantly ex posing myself to the danger of being uu- saddled by the vines that hung over the path. We sometimes narrowly escaped being killed by the fall of enormous trees some of whoso trunks measured over 20 feet in cicuml'creuce. Tlie silence of death reigns iu this forest unless broken by animals or the fall of trees." Mr. Lloyd fouud game in abundance. There were numerous elephants, leopards buffaloes aud antelopes in (he forest. At night he lit fires to keep animals awuy from the camp. He saw many moie dwarfs than Stanley met in the same re gion and thus described them to Ihe Lon don News: "I saw a great many of the pygmies, but, generally speaking, they kept out of the way as much as possible. At one place in the middle of the forest called llolcnga 1 staid at a village of a few huts occupied by so called Arab. There 1 came upon a great number of pygiuie: wtio came to see me. I hey told me that uuknowo to myself they had been watching me for five days, pcring through the growth of the primeval for est at our caravan. They appeared to bt very frightened, and even speaking cov ered their faces. I slept at this village, and in the morning I asked the chief to allow me to photograph the dwarf's lie brought leu or l!i of them together, and I was enabled to secure a snapshot. I couldn't give a lime exposure, as the pygmies would Out stand still. "Then with great difficulty I tried to measure them and fouud not one of them over four feet iu height. All were fully developed. The women were somewhat lighter than the men, but were equally well formed. I was amazed at their sturdiness. Their arms and chests were splendidly develop ed, as much so us in a good specimen of an Knglishuiau. These meu have long beards half way dowo the chest, which imparts to them a strange appear ance. They are very timid and cannot look a stranger in the face. Their eyes are constantly shiftiug, as the case of monkeys. They are fairly intelligent. I had a long talk with the chief, and he conversed intelligently about the ex tent of the forest and the number of his tribe. Kxcept for a tiny strip of bark cloth, meu and women are quite nude. file)' are armed with bows and arrows the latter tripped with deadly poison aud carry small spears. They aie entire ly nomadic, sheltering at night io small huts two feet to three feet in height. They never go outside the forest. Dur ing the whole time I was wilh them they were perfectly friendly. "In all paits of the forest I founds fairly good track, perhaps a couple of feet wide, overhung and crossed by boughs and enormous creepers; but generally speaking, il was easier to cut our way right through tbe tropical growth."

It is abruptly countersunk io the for est plateau, says John Muir in the At lantic, so that you see nothing of it until you arc suddenly stopped on its brink, Willi its immeasurable wealth of divinely colored and sculptured buildings before you and beneath yuu. No matter bow far you may have wandered hitherto, or how many famous gorges and valleys you have seen, this one, the tirand Canyon of the Colorado, will seem as novel to you, as unearthly iu the color and grand. ur and quantity of its architecture, as if you bad found it alter deal h ou sumo other siar, so incomparably lovely nod grand and supreme is it above all the other lighlful canyons io our fire-molded, earlliqiiake-shalicn, laiu-wasbed, wave washed, river and giuchr sculptured world. It is about 0,000 feet deip where you first see it, and from rim to rim ten to fifteen miles wide. And in stead of being dependent for interest on waterfalls, depth, wall sculpture and niity of park-like 11 tor, like most other great canyons, no waterfalls are in eight and no appreciable floor space. Tbe big river has just room enough to flow and roar obscurely, here and there groping its way as best it can like a weary, murmur ing, overladen traveler trying lo escape frum the trcmcudous bewildering laby rintbie abyss, while its roar serves only to mellow and deepen the silence. In stead of being filled ouly with air, the vast space between the walls is crowded with nature's grandest buildings a sublime city of them painted in every color of tbe rainbow and adorned with richly fretted cornice and battlement, spire mid tower in endless variety of style and architecture.
