"Haven’t heard a word from one of

the Weston postofflee, and were handed

Without further reflection Beverly
irew a small table toward him and in a
moment had written the following:

more especially. I feel obliged 10 eon

Two days later another communica¬
tion from Mr. Thomas Bailly arrived.
“Confound the man,” muttered Bover
i V , recognizing the writing. “What undei
heaven has he to sav for himself now?"
A glance at the written page enlight¬
ened him:
“Dear Sir—I am at a ioss to under¬

sent you. It is impossible that you have
forgotten the articles ordered from my
house in April last. I once more assure
you of my regreat in being obliged to

"I hope that is the end of it."
TO BE CONTINUED.
A Cure for Earache,
“I am afraid I have greatly inter¬
fered with my own practice,” said a
celebrated aurist, “by giving the fol¬
lowing advice to many of my friends:
/ t the first symptoms of earache let
the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear uppermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water, Continue doing this
for fifteen or twenty minutes; the
water will fill the ear orifice and flow
over the towel. Afterward turn over
the head, let the water run out and
plug the ear with warm glycerine and
cotton. This maybe done every hour
until relief is obtained. It is an al¬
most invariable cure, and has saved
many cases of acute inflammation.
The water should be as warm as pos¬
sible, but not too hot.”
EDWARD OF YORK
Young Prince Who Is in Direct lAne
of Succession to the Throne
This young gentleman is in the di¬
rect line of succession to the English
throne. Nothing but his own death or
the establishment of a republic can
prevent his wearing the crown of his
country. The. crown of England de¬
scends to the nearest heir of the last
wearer, be that heir male or female.
Daughters are, of course, postponed to
sons. There are certain personages in
the succession to the throne who would
Obviously, from motives of public pol¬
icy, never be allowed to ascend it—for
instance, the German emperor, llut
foreign nationality does not, of itself,
vitiate their right. Parliament could,
and in the case of the throne passing
to a foreign sovereign undoubtedly
would, bar the claim—save, perhaps, in
the case of the duke of Coburg.
Here are the names of the first thirty
persons in the order of their succession
as it now stands: 1, Prince of Wales;
2, Duke of York; 3, Prince Edward of
York; 4, prince Albert of Y'ork; 5, Duke
of York’s infant daughter; 6, Duchess
of Fife; 7, Lady Alexandra Duff; 8,
Lady Maud Duff; 9, Princess Victoria
of Wales; 10, Princess Charles of Den
mark; 11, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha;
12, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg;
33, Crown Princess of Koumania; 14,
Prince Carol of Roumania; 15, Prin
cess Elizabeth of Roumania; 16, Grand
Duchess of Hesse; 17, Princess Eliza¬
beth of Hesse; 18, Hereditary Princess
of IIohenlohe-Langenburg; 19, infant

A MOUNTAIN THAT SINGS
VIUS/CAL PERFORMANCES OF ONE OF
THE PEAKS OF HAWAII.
Belief of the Superstitions Natives— Caused
by a Commingling; of the Sounds of the
Breakers, Surf and Storm Echoing?
Among; Crags anti Bales#
If Hawaii is annexed'to this country,
says the Washington Star, the United
States will possess a mountain that
sings. Remarkable as this statement
may seem, it is literally a fact. Mt.
Tantalus, just outside of Honolulu,
can be made to sing any song or run
any score in the tvhole musical reper¬
toire. The natives attribute it all to
the ghosts of departed warriors said to
inhabit the fastnesses round about,
but science has found the real expla¬
nation. Nevertheless, the native at¬
tribution is interesting, and well worth
Consideration before the more prosaic
explanation forces itself upon one.
Six miles out of Honolulu the pre¬
cipitous cliffs of Mt. Pali ris® 2000
feet above the sea. About 200 feet up
is a ledge which gives a clear drop of
more than 1000 feet. From this comes
the name of Pali, or precipice. Here,
in ancient Hawaiian history, the great
fighting chief,Kamehameha I, penned
in the vanquished forces of his arch
enemies, Kananipule and Kalama,
forcing them from field to field and
crag to crag in a terible mountain
fight. Standing upon this fatal crag,
the remnants of the defeated bands,
rinding that no quarter would be
given, and seeing no means of escape,
leaped over the precipice. They were
dashed to pieces on the rocks and de¬
bris below. Hundreds lay in that te“-.
rible leap of death.
To the east of Pali is the mountain
called Tantalus. The top of it is
voiced like a dreamland, and even the
most staid nature will thrill and be
mystified by its sweetness and melan¬
choly. It is at nighttime only when
the plaintive and strange sounds are
heard which fall upon the startled
senses like “lamentationsin the wind,”
“strange screams of death.” At
times they are loud and boisterous,
like midnight revels, and again they
soften into a complete wail. These
voices which moan and scream and
sob about in the night winds are be¬
lieved by superstitious natives to be
the spirits of the warriors whose man¬
gled bodies lay at the foot of Pali af¬
ter that dreadful leap, and whose
manes are still unappeased. is
To destroy this pretty illusion al¬
most barbarous. Still, these sounds
bo reverently listened to by the Oahu
natives can be caused by nothing more
than the ocean breakers beating on
the windward shore, and the plaintive
cadence of the calmer surf below, al
terua ting with the angry and wilder
scolding Of the storm~abovfe,' ecTiTrmg"
among the dales and crags of the
mountain. The feeling of the
presence of human spirits about you
cannot be shaken off, and the weird
song of terror as of human voices can¬
not be hushed or translated into their
sounds by even a strong mind. On a
night a sensitive and supersti¬
tious mind could not endure with
comfort the hideous forebodings of
the scene.
Now, if two persons whose voices
should sing from one of the
heights it will be found that the moun¬
tain will catch up the soug and take
it from clifif to cliff, carrying it off into
the distance in one direction and
bringing it back in auother, until a
perfect round is obtained. Then, if
the two suddenly ceased their “feed¬
ing” song, the mountains will go on
it for quite a long time. The
song is being repeated in all di¬
rections, the first part making a com
plete circle and being followed by the
middle and the last part, which come
later. It might be a few sec¬
onds, it might be a few minutes, for
the singer forgets to count the ticks
the chant of this weird air, cut
from human lungs, reverberates
through the broken chasm and
rocks as of spirits caroling their
among the glades and crags of
singing mountain. It is a long
tedious climb to Tantalus, but,
there, the lingering visitor will
regret or foreget its romance
