Heaton in ‘‘The Quilting Bee.”’ WARNED OF DANGER. Apparition That Saved a Woman From Being Bitten by a Cobra. ; The following remarkable occurrence, an absolute fact, was related by a» lady visiting friends in Hartford as it was toid her by her cousin in Meerat, northwestern India. It took place in the house of the sister of thenarrator. Of its absolute accuracy there can be no ynestion. The two sisters in India are connected with families of repute and with officefs in the British army in India: We give the story as the lady here telated it. She is a devout member of the Episcopal chureh and is incapable of misrepresenting in the slightest par. teular. Her cousin, in whose house the occurrence took place, was seated at a lighted table engaged in reading, when, think-. ing it about time to retire, and happening to lift her eyes from the book, she was astonished to see seated in a chair before her, and between herself and thedoor to the bathroom, a man, a stranger to her, whv calmly regarded her. It was too great a surprise for her to speak and demard who was thus intruding unbidden upon her privacy and what was wautced. She remained for a‘inoment in silent astonishment, Then it gradualiy dawned upon her thatthe fixare was probably not that of i 5 ‘ } a persen.of reul-flesh and.-blood, but a entitled to and receive a prominent) jjsitor‘from the unseen world of life. place in this work.

There, through the open door, the lady was horrified to. see on the ficor a monstrous cobra—the snake whose bite is certain and speedy death. Springing forward to save her so instantaneously as to prevent her seeing the reptile turning and escaping down through a hole in the floor where the drain pipes of bathtub and washbowl went—a hole which had been carelessly left larger than was necessary. If she had gone directly to the bathroom, as she would have done but for days is very debilitating, and in consequence nearly everybody is complaining of the heat.
