The ancient philosopher were of the opin ion that the infernal regions were at an equal distance away from all parts of the earth's surface, which may be the founda tion of the modern idea of hell being at the center of the earth. The ancient Jews also located the place of torment at the center of oar little sphere. According to them, there were three passages leading to It: The Wilderness, by which route fiathan, Koran and Ablram descended; the sea, be cause it is written that Jonah cried to God out of the belly of hell; the third passage is at Jerusalem, because it Is said: "The fire of the Lord is in Zlon, and his furnace is in Jerusalem." Mohammed said that hell had seven gates the first for the Mussulmans, the second for the Christinas, the third for the Jews, the fourth for the a beans, the fifth for tbeMagians,the sixth for the pagans and the seventh for the hypocrites of all religions. Whiston, the English astronomer, believed that hell is situated on a comet, and that one moment the damned will be in the blistering heat of the sun and the next in a region of terri ble cold. Among Christian sects there are two controverted opinions in regard to bell one concerning its locality, the other the duration of the torments. Philadelphia nasi. The Clever Advance Agent. A group of actors and managers were deploring the fact that there were no more lever advance agents. They claimed the men with vivid imaginations had either become proprietors or managers or else disappeared entirely. "The best advance agent in this country, remarked one man' ager, "got his training with Barnum's cir cus. I first met bim In Fremont, Neb., and he was with the show. The morning of the performance it was rumored about that the elephants while bathing in the Platte liver had got caught in the famous quick sands of that stream, bulletins were put out every hour, stating that the elephants had sunk another inch or two. The river banks were crowded with people, and very hour brought hundreds more. About 1 o'clock this agent winked to the trainer. and he winked to the elephants. The big animals slowly crawled out of the mud and started for the grounds. Of course the crowd followed, and most of them went in to the tents. This trick was played In every town on the Platte river." Cor. Springfield Graphic Letter Carrying In China. In China before a letter Is mailed or de livered to the carrier Its contents are dis played, and the keeper of the letter shop then signs his "chop," or sign, so that its point of origin may be determined. Parcels may be transmitted in the same manner. the charge for carrying being a percentage 01 wielr declared value. The shop keeper elves a receipt for the letter or package, and he thus becomes responsible fur Its safe de livery or its return to the sender with seal unbroken. In some parts of the empire about two-thirds of the expense of trans mission is paid by the sender, the remainder being collected from the receiver. Thus the shop is secured against entire loss from transient customers, and the sender has Some guarantee that his letter will be con veyed with dispatch. Native merchants who are regular customers keep an open account with the shop and make their settlements monthly. Canoeing. Canoeing is a sport particularly adapted to tb American. With our innumerable waterways, whether river, lake or land locked bay, almost all the American peo ple may have the opportunity of sharing in this most enjoyable of pastimes, If they will but use the proper precaution. Canoe ing la easy to learn, at least canoeing with a paddle. Bailing a canoe is decidedly gymnaitlo exercise and would better be left to the young athlete. But to follow the old precept, "Paddle your own canoe," the same qualities are required which are neces sary when the injunction is taken in a meta phorical sense. To know what be want to do, and to go and do it, 1 the best possible Me for a canoeist to bear in mind. Albeit ha most do it gently. Boston Advertiser. Banting Down the rimg. P. P.

Lightning's Victim Recognised by tb Ma Who Had Been Bobbed. Charles E. Thorpe from Oregon, formerly business man of Philadelphia, called at The Progress office. Said he: "I happened to takea seat in tbe car Just behind a plain ly dressed but good looking colored mnn. There was nothing unusual about that cir cumstance, however, and I would probably never have noticed whether I sat behind a oolored or white man but for a little event of no greater consequence than the colored man's placing his hand upon the back of the seat In which lie sat. The train had nearly reached Tucson when the colored man happened to throw bis right arm over tbe back of tbe seat, with bis band in plain view, and I was al most thunderstruck at what I saw. I could scarcely believe my eyes and eagerly leaned forward to get a closer look at the hand and be sure that I was not the victim of an optical illusion. I satisfied myself that there was no mistake. The third and fourth fingers of the colored man's hand were as white as a lady's, and a white streak over an Inch wide ran along tbe back of hi hand and up his arm as far as I could see. I was sure I bad seen tbut hand before. I went to the front end of the car after a drink of water simply that I might get a look at the man's face. Every doubt was then removed. He was George Waldron, the man who had been my coachman In Philadelphia for aver 5 years some 20 years ago. Though l pain lilm well for Ills serv ices, In an evil hour he stole over $300 from me and fled to parts unknown. I never made any effort to find bim outside of the city and bod never seen or heard of hi in until that day. When I faced him, be rec ognized me and fairly bluabed through his black skin at- the recollection of his crime and ingratitude. He told me th.tt he i now living an honest life In Texas, wher he has a family and home and a small tract of land. "But he has the mark of Cain the whole length of his body," continued Mr. Thorpe, "and be got it while he was working for me. Though I have rend stories of similar cases, I don't believe there is another man in the world marked in the same way that Waldron Is. My bouse wus on a hill, and he was standing In a barn during a severe thunderstorm, with his right hand uplifted and resting against thesideof the building, when lightning struck the bam on the side where be was and passed down his arm and body and through the floor. It burned bis clothing wherever it touched his body and tore the sboe from his right foot and threw it nearly across the burn. Of course the shock knocked bim down and rendered him Insensible for a moment, though he suffered no lasting Injury. But If there ever was a scared darky he was the one. He was too frightened to pray, and be louks half scared even now. lie will always bear on his right Bide, from the tips of his two outside fingers, which were next to tbe building, to the sole of bis foot, the white streak which marks the track of that flash of lightning." Pomona (Cut.) Progress. A Lie Tulil In School, It has always been father's purpose to give his children a fair education, but as the family increased in size and numbers and father' salary would not grow in the same proportion, he found it necessary to cut down some of the avenues of ex penditure. One of his first thoughts was that of the shoe bill for the family, Said he, "I'll be the cobbler when any shoes need repairing after this." Unfortunate ly my shoes gave out first, and the next day was set for repair day. Father brought from the shop where he was working some of the old belting that had been laid by. This leather was thorough ly saturated with oil, and as I entered the schoolroom next day with new taps on my shoes the oil would form a mark on the floor, just like a footprint on the newly fallen snow, and what good ex cuse to tell I couldn't think of. It became an eyesore to tbe whole school, and I was wishing somehow 1 might take a vacation. Finally the teacher noticed it I was culled up to the desk, leaving my track all the way, and asked to explain. Shaking like a leaf, I told the story. My brother Jock and I had got to fighting the other day In the cellar, and be threw me in a pan of grease that was near by cooling. That lie settled the teacher, but the other element of the school were not satisfied until they stood me on my head and looked at my shoes. Cor. New York Recorder. In a City Restaurant. A trifling incident noted not long ago in a city restaurant tt-lls its own story and needs no spoken moral. Two girls, possibly attendants in a shop, were sit ting together eating their luncheon, and one was holding forth to her companion on an experience which had just befallen her. "I came in here," said she, "and got this seat, but wan't long before an old lady came in and sat next to me. She took off one pair of glasses and pnt oa another. Then she stared and stared at the bill of fare and laid it down. 1 thought first she couldn't read a word Then sbe turned around to me, " 'Will yon let me sit next to the win dow!" say she. "I didn't take any notice, and in a rain ote aha aaid it again. Then 1 answered her: " No,' aayi I, this U my seat, and I'm going to keep it' "She turned 'way round in ber chair then and looked me all over. Then she looked away. But I guess aha knew I'd got the best of her, for ah did bar th manner to (ay: " 'I beg your pardon.' "She spoke real low, and I noticed sh looked kind of surpriaed." Youth's Corn- It was a sweet summer's afternoon, toward the middlo of the Fifteenth cen tury, and the inhabitants of tlio little village of Friars Holt woreull assembled upon the green, watching the attempts of Rome of tlio younger men to send their arrows straight to the con tor of the butts which stood at one end of the chosen place of recreation. "Another shaft missed the clout,' laughed an old man, as the arrow stuck quivering in the turf, fulling three yards short of the butt. "The king will never complain that lads of, Wainwood make havoc among his deer if he hears of such hooting as this. "Hold your prate, Gaffer Jenkyn, said the young man who had discharged the lost shot, pettishly unstringing his bow; "it was a cross wind which marred my Bhooting, unless, indeed, it was the wizard s ward, he added, crossing mm self devoutly as be cast a glance of scorn and abhorrence at a young maiden standing some little distance apart from the group of rustics a fair haired girl of middle height, with a pair of lnugl; ing gray eyes. Her age could scarcely have exceeded eighteen years, and the merry expres sion of ber face as she smiled at the woebegone look of the discomfited bow man had no more wizard's glamour about it than is always to be found in the rippling laughter of u pretty girl. "Yes, there she be, sure enough, muttered Oaffer Jenkyn, with a glance of malevolent hatred at the young girl. "What business has she down here among us? Even if she can't cast spells herself she can tell all about us to that old warlock who lives in the ruined tower in Cuirnstone Chase." By this time general attention wus drawn to the beautiful intruder,, und threats and execrations were leveled at her head. At first the girl apeareil unconscious of her dungor, but nil at once a stone thrown by a lad grazed her arm, and an she perceived the threatening attitude of the crowd a look of intense terror passed across hor face and she turned to fly. Do not let the witch escape," cried an old crone. "I lost two sweet irrniul children last autumn. They said it was the fulling sickness, but 1 know beltel It wus through the devilments of the old wizard und his ward. A menacing circle soon formed around the poor girl, whose entreaties fur mercy were received with shouts of derisun and she would have been seriously ma 1 treated hud not a figure burst through the ranks of her assailants and loiidlv asked the meaning of their coward I v conduct The man who interposed in the irirl's behalf was uttired in the picturesque dress of u forester, though ho wore no badge or cognizance to show that he was the retainer of uny noble house and the cloth of which liis Lincoln green doublet was composed was of a liner character than that in which servitors were attired. "Hullo, my musters," cried lie, step ping between the miudun and hor assail ants; "what wit is this? By the bones of Jonathan the Archer, call ye your selves Englishmen to behave in such manner?" A confused chorus of explanation rose from the little crowd, but the smith, who had first suggested violent meas ures, strode to the front. "This is no business of thine, Hob of the Butts," growled he. "Oet ye to your own business of stealing tlio king's deer and leave honest men to look uftor their own affairs. "We will have no witches or warlocks among us, and this wench, who lives up at Cuirnstone Chose with old Michael Rexthorpe, shall not come down here coating her spell over us and ours." As ho spoke he laid a rough, sinewy hand upon the shoulder of the shrinking girl, but in a moment staggered back under the effects of a heavy blow dealt mm by the man culled Hob of the Butts who, placing the girl's arm in his, drew her through the crowd, not one of which ventured to manifest any opposi tion. Neither spoke a word until they had left Friars Holt some littlo distance be hind them, and then the girl said tiin idly: "I thank you, fuir sir, for your kind ness in rescuing me from that dreadful man. I thought 1 should have died with terror when he laid his hand on me. The forester laughed merrily. "Matt Clink and 1 understand euch other, pretty one," said he. "But tell me, who are you? Why did they call you a witch and want to throw you into the pond'r Tears started to the girl's eyes. "1 am called Sybil Tressidur," answered the, "and I am no witch, though I live np in Cuirnstone Chose with that fearful man, Michael Rexthorpe. "My father, Reginald Tressider, who believed that he could find the pluloso pher's stone, was the owner of the house in the Chase and Michael Rexthorpe was his trusted familiar and acolyte, but my poor father died and the fear some man Michael has taken every thing. He says 1 am his ward, and though 1 am uot absolutely a prisoner yet he lias forbidden me to go beyond certain limits." Hob of the Butts stroked his chin thoughtfully. "A sad tale," said he. But what doth he up in the lonely tower, from whence as I have passed that way at night I have seen strangely colored 'vapors issue and clouds of bright sparks float away like evil de mons on their errand of ill." Ue searches for two things the se cret of eternal youth and tlie waters o! oblivion," replied Sybil Tressider. Hob of Butts looked puzzled. "I know not what yon mean by the last," said he. It is the draft which brings forget- falness," answered the maiden. Then Matt Clink often liml that when he qnaffs the nut brown ale," re turned the forester, with his merry laugh. "I cannot ask thee in, replied Sybil 'but from the bottom of my heart I thank thee. 1 have not met a friend tinea 1 can recollect." She turned from him with a sigh and Diode her way slowly toward the time worn tower, which stood like some giant sentinel watching over the bleak waste. liicro hewer of wood und drawer uf water, and yet lie felt that this unac customed toil was umply repaid by tlio opportunity of breathing his love in Sybil's ear und hearing her shy unswor in response. One day Michael's countenance was full of triumph, "1 have found thorn!" cried he. "1 have found them. 1 am not quite certain of eternal youth, for that will be u graduul process; but of the waters of oblivion I have no doubt. I have, however, hit upon a euro means of testing the latter and will do so on that jolter headed archer and gee if it will make him forget Sybil," Ho hastened away to tlio keeping room of tho tower with the silver goblets, each containing a small quiiuity of sumo liquid, pure and colorless us crystul. "I will quaff youth," said ho, "whilo the archer shall drain the cup of obliv ion to tho dregs." Meanwhile the lovers were engaged in earnest conversation beneath a pink May tree, which grew on the south side of the tower. "Have you not mndo up your mind yet, dourest Sybil?" murmured the arch er in impussioncd tones; "will you not exchange this dull tower and the harsh words of your guardian for the sweet rotreuts of the merry greenwood? The prior of St. Wilhstoti s chapel is ready to join our band and my trusty comrades will give you a hearty wel come. Fly with me, then, und du not waste your young life here." For awhilo the maiden hesitated, ami thon with a deep blush consented to fol low hor lover. They returned, and as she entered the keeping room she saw her guardian carefully placing two silver goblets uhjii the table. Where host thou been, gadabout?' said he, with an angry frown, "and where is that oaf of' a bowman? Send him hither and 1 will hasten him up by partaking of u cup of strong wutors with him before he goes forth on his quest." Michael placed the goblets at separate ends of the table and then shambled out of the room. As he did so the girl caught a malicious twinkle in his eye. which raised her suspicions, und with liglitninglike rapidity she reversed the positions of the cups; then hastening to her lover she whispered a few words in his ear. He nodded, und in a few seconds en tered the room, where the seeker after the mysteries of the occult was iu wait-, ing. You want some venison. I hear Master Rexthorpe," said the forester 1 can lay my hands upon a fuir wliite doe in half uu hour." 'Tia well," answered Rexthorpe, rubbing his hands; "but before thou goest drain this, 'twill hearten thee up. The forester tossed off the contents of tho goblet mid was about to leave the room when the old man said, "Whither goost thou, Hob?" lo tho broken cross, answered the forester. Good. He hath forgotten ull about the doo," said Michael gleefully. "The potion works already. Now for my change." He drained off the contents of the chalice und full stricken to death, while the forester und the maiden journeyed on to where light und happiness awaited them, for love has been ever the spring of eternal youth, while it is only death's hand that can brew the liquor which fills the cup of oblivion.

A wonderful story of a French musical critic is related by persons who profess to have been acquainted with him and to have seen him In attendance on musical per formances. He was a dog, mid his name In public was Parade. Whether he Imd a different name at home wius never known. At the beginning of the French resolution he went every day to tlie military parade in front of the Tuileries palace. He marched witli the musicians, halted wllh them, lis tened knowingly to their performances, and after the parade disappeared, to return promptly at parade tune the next day. Gradually t he musicians became attached to this devoted listener. They named him Parade, and one or another of them always invited him to dinner.

Miss Adams was buried by the Actors' fund, which was practically brought lute existence by her action ii caring for Mis Eliza Newton, who died in llellevue under circumstance similar to her own. Mb Adams started a fund to bury Miss New ton by going to all the principal actors und well known people of wealth In .New York and asking them for subscription. This was the start uf the Actors' fund. She wo a faithful worker in this enterprise, and it was mainly through her efforts that thi fund was made a success. Miss Adam was born in Carlisle, Pa., In 1850. She married Kenanl Davis, an Eng lishman, who left her aiioiit l,imt),0liu a his death in 1IH).

Adversity him no humors for a proud spirit like Miss Adams', who suffered in secret rather than reveal ber humiliating condition. Very different was the case of Rev. 8. A. Smith of Silver Mine, Conn.. who did not hesitate to make the following announcement from his pulpit on a recent Sunday: I come to you this morning with an empty stomach. 1 nave not bad a mouthful to eat today, because I could not get it. I here is uot even a crust in the cupboard. For over a week I and my fain ily have lived entirely upon bluckberrles and bread. .My wife ami children are with out proper clothing. I do uot ask charity, but only that you pay mo the salary that you agreed lo, that 1 may not starve." The members of Brother Smith's flock took umbrage at till public proclamation, ami it Is likely that he may have to live on snowball after tbe berry season is over. Mr. Smith gets a nominal salary of 100 u year. Another 111 paid worker In the vineyard is Captain Katie Tilgbe, a Salvation Army lassie, who was recently found in Hucken sack, X.
