ERIE MEDiCAL CO.,BUFFALO,N.Y. THE BLACK CASTLE. A Stronghold and Falaco Kreoted by Ktnft Herod In Jndaaa. Eastward from the ?lull and almost wawless waters of tho Dead am there is a wild and gloomy luiul of mountain ous heights and dark, pnvipitous ra vinea On ono of the highest points of nx-k, overlooking tho surrounding coun? try, Iierod bad constructed over the ruins of a former fort tho stronghold and palace of Machajrus, or ' "Tho Black Castle." A town had grown up near by, with heathen templet*, a theater and places of trado and manufacture. Tho palace had been mndo so splendid that Herod preferred it as a residence, es? pecially as it was close to tho frontier of Judsoa, and as from it ho could readily go to any other part of his dominions unwatched and unimpeded. Hero at least ho could do whatever he pleased, and all prisoners were at his mercy. It was by no means safe for a stranger tn draw near to tho frowning gates of the oitadel of Machterus, but tho dis riples of John did oomo, again and again, only to l>o refused admission. For a long time therefore the baptizer was in comparative ignorance of what might be going on in the great world beyond the castle walls. Its kings might come or go, its kingdoms might rise or fall, its cities might prosper or perish, and no news of all could penetrate tho solid stone that walled him in. A deep, dark, rock hewn room was that dungeon under tho citadel of Ma chorus. High up near the outer love! Was a cell with ono small window and a heavy barretl and grated door. Its occupant was* ? gaunt, tall, un? couth man in a coarse tunic of camel's hair girded with a broad belt of leather. He had preached to multitudes, and he and his disciples had baptized vast num? bers. He had actually brought about an important reformation in public morals; but, more than all, ho had proclaimed himself one sent to declare the speedy coming of another "mightier than L." ? ncerning whom the people who heard Jolm obtained only a vague idea. But John's hearers were encouraged to cx pect the king who was to restore tho throne and crown of David Whatever John had understood or ex? pected, his work seemed ended, for there was no possible escape from Herod's dungeon.?\V.

Y., James Cloyd owns n farm which borders on the road to Bloomington Grove. He is the owner of what is probably tho most re? markable hawk in the world This hawk brings homo a herd of 75 cows e very evening and gathers in the stragglers and keeps the herd together cvi umore effectually than Hiram Cloyd, the bod i f the farmer, used to da Hi? ram had killed the parent hawk, which had been stealing chickens, and took this one from the nest As it grew up ho made a pet of it and took it with him every evening when ho went out to bring the cows iiL One day Hiram cut his foot so that he could not walk. His father was absent, and when 5 o'clock camo and went without Hiram putting in an appear? ance, Abe, the pet hawk, flow out of tho barn and away. In half an hour or so Mrs. Cloyd heard a uoiso like cows moving together along tho road, and on looking out of the window saw the whole herd coining along apparently alone. She nui out to tho gate to find out what was tho matter, and on Hear? ing tho fence to take down the bars she saw Abo perched on tho horn of tho last cow, surveying tho sceno with apparent satisfaction. When a cow lugged or loi? tered by the wayside, the hawk flew at it fiercely, making it quicken its move? ments to keep from being struck by Its great wings. Ho thon went back to his curious perch, from which ho watched I for stragglers. After that day Abo always brought the cows in, starting punctually at 6 o'clock on his task, and generally round? ing them up inside of half an hour. Since the story of tho hawk's accom? plishment has become known many peo? ple have visited the farm to see tho per? formance. Numerous visitors have wait? ed along either side of tho road watch? ing tho herd and their novel keeper go by.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch Her Tollt* Itea,ur*L She wrts tall mid stately, and her gnwn was it model of beauty and simplicity. fUio Kot in tho cablo car nt Forty-second street with a litt lo Gladstone Img.
