Presently The muggier'e leap, so Cadet in- formed an. was a narrow cloth in the rock of not depth, and extending for a considerable distance across atlank of tsuurtountairt. It owed its name to the following incident :-Some five years previously. a smuggler, known by the name of Juan le Segre, or Black Juan, had, for a considerable period, eet the custom-house officers at defi- ance, and brought great discredit on them by his success in passing contra- band goods from Spain. In vain did may lie in ambush and set snares for him; they could never come near him, or if they did it ‘was when he was lucked by such a force of the hardy damwradoes carrying on the same law- less traffic, that the douaniers were either torcedato beat a retreat, or got fearfully mauled in the contest that ensued. One day, how '" er, three of these green-coated guardians of the French rename caught a. sight ofJuan alone and unarmed. Ttwr pursued him, and a rare race he led them over cliff and crag. across rock and ravine, until "Cos messieurs veuIent-ils voir le Sam do Ion Contrtuotuuiistm t" said he, in the bubaroua dialect of the dis. trict, half French, half patch, with I small dash ot Spanish. . . -rriii, Tiat%CEGtrsrtsandier, the Smugglers':' Leap-what is that t' ask- od Dora, who had overheard tht gues- Cu “an, (“an nun V'Uluv\--- ‘_V 1_ tion, turning round her graceful head. 3nd angling ue-me at least-by a luddon view of her lovely face, now glowing with exercise and the moun- hin air. .uu ulna.

It seemed as it he had forgotten they position ortho cleft,aml only rememberehit when he got with- in a hundred yards or thereabouts, for then he slackened his pace. The dou- aniers gained on him, and expected him to. deoist from his flight, and sur- render. What was their surprise and consternation when they saw him. on reaching the: edge of the chasm, spring from the ground with lizard-like agil- ity. and by one bold leap clear the yawning abyss. The douaniers utter- ed a about of rage and disappointment, and two of them ceased running; but tho third, a man of great activity and Courage, and who had frequently sworn to earn the reward not on the head of Juan, dared the perilous Jump. He fell shnrt'. his head was dashed against the opposite rock, and his horror-struck companions, gazing down into the dark depth beneath, saw his body strike against the crngs on its my to the bottom oftthe abyss. Tho smuggler es- caped. and, the spot where the tragioal Incident occurred was theneeforward known as " In Shut du contrtttyttyey.." Before our guide had finiahed his narrative. we were unanimous in our wish tot visit its scene, which we reach- ed by the time he had brought the tale to a conclusion. It was certain- I y s most remarkable chasm. whose ex- istence was only to be accounted for by reference ito the volcanic agency of which abundant .traces exist in South- ern France. The whole side of the mountain was wracked and rent asun- der, forming a narrow ravine of vast depth. in the manner of the famous Mexican barramsna. In some places might be traced a sort of correspond- ence on, the opposite sides; a recess on one side into which a projection on the other, would have nearly fitted, could some Antseus have closed that fissure. This, however. was only here and there; generally speaking, the rocky brink was worn by the action of time and water, and the rock com- posing it sloped slightly downwards.| The chasm was of various width, but, was narrowest at the spot at which] we reached it, and really did not air-: pear so very terrible a leap as Cadet made it out to be. On looking down, a confusion of buah-otwertsd crass was visible; and now that the sun was high, a narrow stream was to be seen. (lowing. like s line of silver, at the bottom,--) ripple and rush of the water, repeated by the echoes of the ravine ascending to our ears with a noise like that of a cataract. On a large fragment of rock, a tow yards from the brink, was rudely carved a date, and below it two letters. They were the initials. so our guide inform- ed us. of the unfortunate douanier who had there met his death. We had remained for half a minute or an gazing down into the ravine, when Ashley, who was on the right of the party, broke silence. "Pshawl" said he, stopping back from the edge, "that's no leap. Why, I'll jump across it mysell.’ " For heaven'a sake? cried Dora. " Ashley!" I exclaimed. "dont be a. tool!" But it was too late. What mad im- pulse possessed him I cannot Bar; but twrtain I am, from my knowledge of his character, that it was no foolish bravado or schoolboy desire to show on, that modueed him to BO wild a freak. The fact was. but for thq depth below, the leap did not look at all formidable. not above, tour or tive feet. bat in real- ity it was n deal wider. It was prob- ably this deceitful appearance, and per- haw they feeling which Englishmen nre apt to entertain, that for feats ot strength and agility, no men surpass them, that convinced Walter of the ease with' which ho could jump across. Before we could atop him, he took n short run, and ju_mpod. _ - . A scream from Dora was echoed by an exclamation of horror from M'Der.. mot and myself. Ashley had cleared the chasm and nlighted on the oppo- site edge, but it was shelving and slip- pery. and his feet slipped from under him. For one moment it appeared u if he would instantly‘ be da.9hed_ to pieces, but in falling he managed to catch the edge of the rock, which at that place formed an angle. There he. hung by his hunt, his whole body in aia%audividusil turned to baton mentioned, Dora god?

Dr mating further effort, he hung um- liwnlrss, his binds convulsively "WHIP ed to the edge of rock, which attordod so slippery and difficult a hold, that his sustaining himself by it at all m-9med a miracle, and could only be the result of uncommon muscular pow- er. It was evident that no human strength rould possibly maintain him for more than a minute or two in that position; below was an abyss, a hun- dred or more feet deelr-to all appear- ance his last hour was come. M'Dermot and I stood aghast and helpless, gazing with open mouth and strained eyeballs at our unhappy friend. What could we dot Were we to dare the leap, which one far more aczive and vigorous than ourselves had unsuccessfully attempted? It would have been courting destruction, with- out a chance of saving Ashley. But Dora put us to shame. One scream, and only one, she uttered, and then, gathering up her habit, she sprang un- aided from her mule. Her cheek was pale as the whitest marble, but her presence of mind was unimpaired. and she seemed to gain counge and decis- ion in the moment of peril. . . . 'e' nun In Low mvwvuv u- [A]... [ “Your cravats, your handkerchief: l") cried she, unfastening, as she spoke,, her long cashmere scarf. Mechani- cally. MDermot and myself obeyed. With the speed of light and a woman's dexterity, she knotted together her scart, a long silk cravar which [gave her, M’Dermot's haudkurchief and mine, and seeuriutr-how, 1 know not-. a stone at either extremity of the role thus formed, she threw one end of it, with sure aim and steady hand, across the ravine and round the sapling al- ready referred to.

Ashlev'u hold was already gnotwing feeble, his fingers were for!) by the rock, the blood started from under his nails, and he turned his face toward us with a mute prayer for succour. At that moment the two ends of the shawl fell against him, and he instlnrtivuly grasped them. It was a moment of fearful suspense. Would the knots The incident that had occurred. and Dora's request. brought our excursion to an abrupt termination, and we re- turned homeward. It appeared as if were doomed to be a day ot disagree- ables, On reaching the inn, Itound a letter which, thanks to my frequent change of place. and to the dilatori- ness of continental post-offices, had been chasing me from town to town during the previous three weeks. It was from a lawyer, informing me of the death of a relative, and compelling me instantly to return to England to arrange some important business con- cening a disputed will. The sum at! stake was too considerable for me to neglect the summons, and with the worst possible grace I prepared to do. part. l made some violent attempts to induce Ashley to accompany me, talk- ;ed [Dyson hoarse about fox-hunting land pheasant-shooting, and other de- (lights of the approaching season; but E all in vain. His passion for field-sport jseexned entirely cooled; he sneered at ,foxes. treated pheasants with con- itempt, and professed to be as much ‘in love with the Pyrenees as I began ' to fear he was with Dora. There was ’noihing for it but to set out alone, ‘which I accordingly did, having pre- viously obtained from M'Dermoc the plan of their route, and the name of ithe place where he and his sister ‘thought of wintering. l was determ- ined, so soon as I had settled my af- "airs, to return to the continent and .propose for Dora. so hastily made resist. the tension of his weight? They did so; he raised himself by strength of wrist. “is sapling bent and bowed, but his hand was now close lo it. He grasped it; another powerful effort, the last ef- fort of despair, and he lay exhausted and almost senseless upon the rocky brink. At the same moment. with a. cry of joy, Dora fell fainting into her brother's arms. Of that day's adventures little re- mains to tell, A walk of a mile brought Ashley to a place where a bridge, thrown over the ravine, en- abled him to cross it. I omit his thanks to Dora, his apologies for the alarm he had caused her, and his ad- miring eulogy of her presence of mind. Her manner of receiving them, and the look she gave him when, on rejoining us. he took her hand, and with a na- tural and grateful courtesy that pre- vented the action from appearing tha- nrical or unusual, pressed it to his lips, were anything but gratifying to me, whatever they may have been to him. She seemed no way displeased at the freedom. I was moat confound- edly, but that Walter did not seem to observe. Man proposes and God disposes. says the proverb. In my case, I um pro- parod to prove that the former part of the proverb lied abominably. Instead of a fortnight in London being, as I had 100 Sanguinely hoped, sutficient tor the settlement of the business that took me thither, I was detained sever- al months, and compelled to make sun- dry joulueys to the north of England. I wrote several times to M’Dermot, and had one letter from him, but no more. Jack was a notoriously bad corres- pondent, and [scarcely wondered at his silence. Summer came-my lawsuit was de.) cided, and sick to death of briefs and barristers, pin-lunents and attorneys, I once, more found myself my own mas- ter. An application to M'Dermot's London banker procured me his ad- dress. .36 was then in Switzerland, but was expected down the Rhine, and letters to Wiesbaden would find him. That was enough for me; my head and heart were still full of Dora M‘Dormot; and two days after I had obtained information, the "Antwer- pon" steamer deposited me on Belgian ground." _ ___ - - "Mr. M‘Dermot Ls stopping here t" I inquired or, or rather affirmed to, the head waiter at the Four Sensona hotel at Wiesbaden.

But; I saw neither beauty nor smiles nor grace; all I saw was, that she was leaning on the arm of that provokingly handsome dog, Wal- ter Ashley. For a moment I sb;od petri- fied, and then extending my hand, "Miss 3rDermotl---" I exclaimed. She drew back a little, with a smile and a blush.

Habits of the Shy People Who Are New In Rebellion Ai.utltt. The Yuquis, with whom Mexico is now fighting, are a people who have long resisted civilization and persist- ently sought to exclude from their mountain lustuesees the whites, and especially the, officials of the Mexican Government. Especially grievous to the Yaquia is the Mexican law requir- ing all men to wear trousers. When the Yaquis visit a civilized village to sell their rude pottery, their woven mats and the few other things they manufacture they do not put on their trousers until they are about to en- tar the corporate limits, and on their Journey home they take off their hat- ed garments as soon as they are clear of the village and put them in lit- tle bundles on top of their heads. At ordinary times the Yaquie are reserved and exclusive rather than hoe- tile. They sometimes desert their vil- lages at the approach of strangers, leaving behind them nothing that can give aid or comfort to the invaders. When the attempt is made to pene- trate their “mountain retreats, then the Yaquis take measures of resist- ance, but even in this case they often do no more than block the paths by which the strangers munt advance. A traveller who attempted to pene- trate into a part of the Yaqui coun- try some years ago met with these tactics. As ho and his companion ap- proached a Yaqui village at thefoot of the mountains they could see the natives scurrying off through the brush. When: the travellers reached the village they found it empty. Even the food and, some of the utensils had been carried off. The little thatched huts with earthen floor standing in the midst of small bean patches, contain- ed nothing to excite the cupidity of the least civilized visitor. No violence was offered to the ex- plorers, but as they began to ascend tho mountains they found evidence of the peculiar resistance of the Yaquis. Great rocks and trees were thrown across the burrow trail. From time to time they could see the Yaquis peep- ing out at them from behind a dis- tant rock, or in the act of throwing obstructions across the trail. The re- sistance became go determined and ef- fective at the end of two days that the explorers turned their backs up- on the mountain heights and retreat- ed tr, the valley, watched narrowly by the Yaquie. - _ . . Much of tho Yaqui country is al- together unknown to the civilized Mexicans and has never been surveyed by the government engineers. There are extravagant traditions of miner- al wealth in those unexplored lands and one belief current in Mexico is that the Yaqui country hides the ruins of an ancient and splendid capital. This city, according to tradition, ocupies a. mountain height mot to be approached save by trails which the Yaquis jeal- ously guard against intrusion. . The only strangers with whom the Yaquis are on friendly terms are stray members of the murderous Ap- ache Indian tribe. Apaches outlawed from United States territory, have found an asylum in the Yaqui coun- try. They are likely to prove effec- tive aids'to the Yaquis in the present war. The art of tgelt-detemse is inculcat- ed early smug some at the wilder tribes of the Caucasus, who instruct their children, as soon as they can walk: in the use ot the dagger.

Tomatoes for preserving, pickling, oto., should be perfectly ripe and tree from decay; those that are overripe or immature should be rejected. Tomae toes are in their prime the last of Au- gust and early in September. Never cook tomatoeai in tin or brass; the acid of the fruit will dissolve the metal, discolor the fruit and render it un- wholesome. iiij)7 Hog; Tomato Butter: Scam, peel and slice firm, ripe tomatoes. Measure them in a quart bowl and place them in a pre- serving kettle and cook slowly for 80 minutes; then to every 4 qts. toma- toes, add 2 qts. granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger and two large lemons. Peel the lemons and remove the white skin, slice and remove all the seeds. Boil all together another 80 minutes, stirring and skimming when necessary. Put im small ”are or molds and keep in a cool, dry, place. Tomato Preaervea.--Select firm, ripel little Yellow tomatoes; place them in a wire 'basket, immerse in fast boiling water for three minutes, then plunge into cold water. Peel and weigh and allow 1 lb. granulated sugar to every pound of fruit. Put a layer of toma- toes in a preserving kettle and sprin- kle it' with some of the sugar. then add another layer of tomatoes and more sugar; when all is used, heat very slowly and boil until the tomatoes are tender; then skim them out and boil down the syrup u-ntil as thick as des- sired. return the fruit to the syrup and bringing to the boiling point. Put in small jars. When filling the jars distribute slices of lemon through each jar, using one lemon to every pint of fruit. Green Tomato Preserves-To every! peek of green tomatoes allow 6 lbs su-l gar, 6 large lemons and 1 tablespoon] ginger. Cover the tomatoes withboil- ing water and let stand five minutes then drain and slice. Place the toma- toes, sugar and sliced lemons in a pre- serving kettle with the ginger sprin- kled mer, and then add half pint wa- ter and boil very slowly for 1 1-2 hoursn Keep tho kettle covered and sit andi skim when necessary. Remove from the‘ fire and allow the fruit to become cold,) then return to the fire and boil gently, for another hour. 1 Sweet Pickled Green Tomatoes. Thick- ly slice a peek of green tomatoes, not peeled and place a layer in a willo‘w basket and sprinkle with salt, add more tomatoes, then more salt, using one cup of salt to one peck of toma- toes. Let stand 24 hours and drain. The next day peel 2 qts. small,white onions. Weigh 2 lbs light brown su- gar, 1 oz whole cloves and 2 oz cinna- mon bark. Place the tomatoes, and on- ions in a preserving kettle in layers and sprinkle the sugar and condiments between and nearly cover with good cider vinegar and boil very slowly un- til the tomntoes and onions are ten- der. _ Green Tomato Sor--Mrtsah a peck of green tomatoes, cut out the stem end and part of the seeds and chop fine. Wash and chop fine one dozen medium- sized onions. Place these in a porce- lain kettle and add 2 lbs. sugar and 1 qt. good cider vinegar and mix all together. Mix {thoroughly 2 table- spoons each of salt, black pepper, ground mustard and one of aUspice; add these condiments to the tomato mixture and mix all together. then) place on the tire and cook slowly un- til thw tomatoes and onions are tender. Pat away in wiat-mouthed jars. I Tomato Catsup.--Scald, peel slice and: core a peck of firm, ripe tomatoi: place in a porcelain kettle and boil un-i til tender, then rub through a eoitut-) der and then through a sieve to make the pulp fine; return to the kettle and add 8 large onions chopped very fine, 2 tablespoons salt, ltablespoon each of ground black pepper, ground cloves. and celery seed in a bag, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 5 tablespoons ground mustard; place on the fire and simmer for six hours. Stir often to prevent burning; add a pint of good cider vinegar 15 minutes before remosr- ing from the tire. When cold put into bottles. Soak the corks in boiling wa- ter, drive them into the bottles as far ( as possible then cover with sealing-wax or beeswax, over this tie two thick- nesses of cloth saturated with the wax The bottle should be kept in a idry, cool place resting on their aides. The food talus of eggs is great, and when fresh their digestibility is al- moat perfect. The many dishes easily prepared of them make them a neces- sity to the cook. The farmer is the only man wh ohats 3. chance to enjoy this luxury in safety, for eggs begin to deteriorate alter the first 24 hours. Either raw or cooked the egg ia easy to like. Raw egg beaten to a foam, then mixed with milk, a little sugar and flavored with nutmeg or jelly is unsurpassed as a drink. Keep the eggs and milk cool and serve in a cool pitch- er. Served with ~vegetables, eggs have their full nutritive power, but not when used in cakes and puddings, where they are. mixed with more su- gar and fat than the system can take up in any quantity. Broad omelet, ogged bread, potato omelet, rice ome- let, flour omelet and tomato omelet are quickly prepared and with fresh eggs are tho best of dishes. Soups sound warm and are usually associated with an trll-dar fire, but these two are quickly made and most delicious as well as restful to a tired lemon.

SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEKEEPER To preserve sausage meat, says an exchange, pack " firmly in, stone jars till within two inches of the top, put in the oven until covered with melted grease. Remove and press an invert- ed plate firmly down over the meat end bold in place until the grease hard- ens. when it will be air-tight. This is superior es well in less troublesome than the old way of trying and put- ting down. One caution is necessary the meat/ in the center of the jar must be cooked or it 'will nod keep. Owing to the frequent rains in some parts. mosquitoes have been numerous and. savage this summer. An exchange says that an effective way to banish them is to close all the doors and windows just before retiring; put I small piece of campher gum on a bit at tin and hold it over tho lamp while it burns slowly. In a short time the doors and; windows may be opened and the mosquitoes will not enter. We have never tried this and cannot vouch for it, but give it for what it may be worth. Kerosene as a cleaning agent has its limitations. It shuuld never be used on hardwood tloora, as in time in will injure the! wax or varnish. This is also true of hot water and soap. Olives should not be washed or rinsed in water under any consideration, as it destroys the flavor almost entirely. They should be served with a small quantity of the brine in which they are preserved, and the dish should be shaken every how and then so that the olives will be kept more or has wot ah the time. If an olive remains on a. plate without any brine it dries my quickly and its original flavor dio appenra to some extent. It should be somewhat hard, but not too much so, When bitten the mouthful should be entire, leaving the stone visible, which should be pinkish in color. Do not eat olives that are soft and mushy. that do not smell perfectly sweet or that show a purplish or dark colored stone. Mayonnaise made by stirring olive oil into the beaten yolks of eggs will never " turn " if the oil has been plate- ed on ice for some time before using it. ' F "om-clot!

Un- known tome wife, he had economized, after ten years of saving, nearly £600. To put this sum. as he thought, in safety he had sewn it up in a cloth bag, and then hidden the bag in a mattress. His wife, who was unaware of the existence of the hoard, decided that the mattress needed cleaning, and lo this end undid it at both ends, pre- paratory to taking out the stuffing. She hung the mattress thus opened, out of. the window, with the result that tho precious bag fell into the street.
