Reduction of Fortified Places, Stub- bornly Defended, Means a Fearful Loss of Human Llife. No details are yet available of the losses incurred in the . reduction of Adrianople by the Balkan nations, but they are bound to be enormous. The capture of Port Arthur cost Japan 34, 000 wounded and 58,000 dead. In the Franco-German war the loss of the besiegers was very small in all cases, But that was because the French gar- rison surrendered quickly, or where the French held out the Germans did not attempt an assault. Strasburg was taken with a loss of 866 men. Belfort cost the Germans 2,100 men. At Paris, Metz, and the other places the loss was insignificant, In 1877 the Russians besieged two fortified places held by the-Turkish troops. Kars was carried by a sur- 5 prise night attack, at which the Rus- < sians lost 2,300 men. Plevna showed a R S 7 very different resuit. Here the Rus- | § slans carried out three assaults, all of i 3 which failed, and their total loss in | é » killed and wounded amounted to the Immense number of 27,700 officers and men, or nearly one-third of the besieg- Ing army. The great slege of Sabastopol in 1855 was a desperate affair. It lasted 11 months, and in that period the Rus- sians had 84,000 men killed and wound- ed, while the French and British be- i sleging forces lost 60,000. In this case, ¢ however, the Russians were able to 1 get reinforcements to the end. At Delhi the British loss was 4,360 killed and wounded. The siege of San Babastian cost 2,000 men, and the tamous siege of Rochelle, carried out over four centuries ago, cost no few- er than 20,000 men. In this case eight assaults were delivered. The United States lost heavily in the sieges of the Civil war. To give one instance, the federal army had 10,- 000 killed and wounded in the two assaults delivered on Petersburg. —_——— ————De—— . WHAT. FAMOUS SIEGES COST| throughout the world, but so far as is known, the only inland “lighthouse,” if so it may be called, is that situ- ated far out in the Arizona desert. This “lighthouse,” as it is called, marks the spot where a well supplies fresh ‘water to'travelers. This -8 said to be the only spot where water may Qe had for 45 imiles to the east and for at least 30 miles to the west. The “lighthouse” consists merely ot a tall cottonwood pole to the top of which there is hoisted every night a lantern, the light of which may be seen for miles across the desert in every direction. The water, sweet and cold, is raised in a large bucket made from a barrel. The revolving drum above is propelled by a mule that knows just how many rounds it must make befors the bucket rises to the point where it tips into a trough.— Harper’s Weekly. “Listener to the Dead.” The death of an old Breton woman, Corentine le Clech, in the cemetery of a village near Lorient, Brittany, re calls the existence of a widely re- spected trade in the region—that of “listener to the dead.” The dead watch all the acts of their de- scendants. The peasants never take an important decision without asking the approval of their forbear. Thus there has grown up an occupation of interpreting to the living the wishes of the dead. Corentine le Cletch had acted as listener to the dead” in her village Yor more than thirty years.—Paris Journal. ———— Another Triumph for Cement.

It happened at a public hall. FEe was a man-of serious intentions ‘atd numerous attentions, and she was rich and weddable.. They sat in the hall under the stairway. It was a nook for lovers. There was not a soul in sight. Down he flopped on his knees and clasped her hand. “Dear one,” he whispered, not very loud, but loud enough. “I have loved you with the whole strength and ardor of a man’s nature when it is roused oy all that is pure and good and lovely in woman, and I can no longer re- strain -my pentup feelings. I must tell you what is in my heart, and as- sure you that never yet has woman heard from my lips the secrets that are throbbing and—' Just then‘a rustle was heard on the stairs above them, and a card fastened to a thread swung down and dangled not two"inches from the lover's nose. /On it were these portentious words: “T'm = bit'of a liar myself.” jwful truth flashed upon e As he went out of into the damp night after him.
