CHARMS.
In rambling about the great city a
few days ago wewere brought up at
the magnificent temple of justice lor
Fulton County, which is situated at
the corner of Pryor and Hunter Sts.
We desired to take a look into it’s
inner courts, where the law is mceted
out to evil-ooers' We found the di
vorce mil running on full time, and
grinding out legal separations regard
less of o o uences, which almost
forcet ■>: ■> conclude that marringe
was ft i cun ■
Vhi ■ ing in the situation, we
recalled * portion of a lecture we had
heard many years ago on the subject
of 'urimony.
o ■ member correctly the speak
, 1 out by raying that history
•it as to who the pair were
who Ant put on the silken harness,
and drove out, promising to work
kindly together through thick and
thin, up hill and down, and ou the
level, who ever thev were they must
have made a good thing of it, or so
t„m.y of theii posterity would not
have hitched up and fell in Hue. The
j peaker went on to say there are
but few who put their money in mat
rimony who could set downand give
a good written opinion why on earth
ibey came to do it; which he stated
was a proof that it is oue of those
natural kind ot accidents that must
happen just as birds fly out of the
Best when they have feathers enough,
without being able to tell why.
Some marry for beauty, and never
discover their mistake: this is lucky.
Some marry for pedigree, and feel
big for iis months, and then very
sensibly come to the conclusion that
pedigree is no better than skimmed
milk.
Some marry because they have
been gibed somewhere else; This is a
cross match, a b.iv and atorrel, pride
may make it endurable.
Some marry for love, without a cent
in Uk ir pockets nor a friend in the
world, nor a drop of pedigree.
This looks desperate, but it is the
strength ot the game.
If marrying for love ain t a success*,
then matrimony i a deail-beet.
Some inarrv because '■ lieY think
worn in w ili be searde next year, and
live to wonder how the crop holds
out.
Some marry to get ri<] of themsel
ves, anil discover that the game is one
that two can play at. and neither win.
Some marry the second time to get
eyen, and find it a gambling game,
the more thev nut down the less they
take up.
Some marry to be happy, and miss
ing it, wonder where ail the happiness
goes to when it dies-
Some marry they can’t tell why,
And live they can't tell how.
Some marry coquetts. '1 his is like
buying a poor farm heavily mortgaged,
and working the balanc of your days
to clear otf the mortgages.
Married lite has its chances, and
this is just what gives it its flavor.
Everybody loves to monkey with
ha ic ,because etreryboJy ivantst win;
but I will state this much, that every
body don’t win.
lint, after all, married life is fully
as certain as the dry goods ou mess.
No man can swear just where lie
will fetch up when he fools with cal
ico.
So, in summing up the whole sit
nation; we wonld advise the hoys to
pitch in; it is a plunge in the dark at
best, So don’t stand back, but just
rush ahead and make the leap, for the
nan who stands on the bank and is a
l'raid make the leap, is more apt to
take cold than him who pitches head
first into the river.
Marry young is my motto.
1 have tried it and know what 1 am
talking about. And if any one asks
von why vou got married, tell them
vou don’t recolcct.
Fcltos.
Well done Fulton! You .seem to be
peaking irem experience, but there
are some who are very desire us of
learning from you, —a splendid stu
dent of human nature, and one who
is amply able to express— just why
it is that you so beautifully txpress
how many young and second hand
couples have been lead into that very
dark river of disappointment or hap
piness, and then fail to tell how to
'prevent so many sad disappointments,
if you will do this; you will gratify an
interested j üblie: Hut- we are much
afraid you will find this a most diffi
cult undertaking, but trust that you'l
lind'it impossible to convince them

You leave the re..dcr with the im

What about thoae fellows that
knows that the girls they love loves

make the leap, will produce nioro un

Such couples surely are deserving
of pity, for it is theirown fault. You
well know that the above is just what
keeps many young people from mak

be happiness produciug yet non inter

maturity (or cancelation) of the same.
So, What’ll you do about that?

QUEER HOUSE WAGON.
Mill nix llxrtrit For the KloDdik* In On*
Which llu ll*cn Ills Hum*.
Milt Dix is u queer frontier character,
with gypsy blood in bis veins and a
nomad's foi duessfor traveling. Twenty
years ago hi drove into North Platte,
Neb.—then a mere camp—in a queer,
boxlike house mounted on wheels and
drawn by three big horses, briuging
with him a wife and five children. Dix
left his family in No th Platte while ha
journeyed about tho country, always in
the same kind of a wagon. When one
wore out, be would manage to secure
another built on the same lines.
Now he has started for the Klondike
in one <jt these queer house wagons. Ho
lms another young wife and soveral lit
tle ehildreu, all of whom he is carrying
with him. He is probably <SO years of
age. though a well preserved man, ani
odo who has a wide kuowledge of the
world, having read nud traveled to
much advantage, though always in this
queer manner.
The top of the queer vehicle is of tin,
painted white. The rumiing gear differs
somewhat from the ordinary two horse
wagon, cs ft has six wheels—two in the
center. In this manner Dix says he can
carTy doable the load that can be car
ried in the ordinary way and bo in no
danger of breaking down. Then, too, if
one of tbu wheels breaks be can utilize
the extra wheels and operate bis vehicle
as a two horse affair until repairs cau

I to me that there is a mess of inventions,
of discoveries, which w police officers

am a snbinepector"—
"Oo on, go on,” raid the magistrate
quickly, with a movement of tho head
toward the open door of roe. salon,
where the attorney for tho rcpnblio was
•ondnoting the investigation, ami his
nod seemed to say: "They are at work
iu there. Let ns make haste.”
“I will boas brief a* possible," raid
Bemardet, who understood what he
meant.
"Monsieur” (and his tone become
rapid, precise, running up and down
like a ball). ‘*Bo years, or, rather, to be
exact, 80 year* ago some American jour
nals, not political, bnt scientific, pub
lished the fact that the daguerreotype—
we have made long strides since then in
photography—bsd permitted tbom to
find in the retina of a murdered man's
eye the image of the one who struck
him."
“Yes, I know,” snid M. Ginory.
•‘ln 18(10 I was too young, and 1 had
no desire fo prove the truth of this dis
covery. I adore photography as 1 adore
my profession. I pass my leisure hours
in Inking instantaneous pictures, in de
veloping them, printing and finishing
them. The idea of what lam about to
propose to yon came to me by obnnee. 1
bought upon one of the quays a volume
of the Bocieto do Medicine Legale of
1889, in which Dr. Vernois gives an ac
count of a communication sent to tho
society by a phy icinn, who ulso sent
photographic proofs thns Indorsed,
'Photographs taken of the retina of a
woman aseaasiuutod the 14th of June,
1848.’ ”
“Yes," again said M. Ginory. "It
was a communication from Dr. Uourion
of Darner."
“Precisely."
“And tho proof sent by the doctor
showed the instant when, after striking
the mother, tho assassin killed the child,
while the dog sprang toward the little
carriuge in which the little one lay."
"You, M. Ginory.”
“Oh, well, but my poor Bemardet
Dr. Vernois, since you have read his
report"—
"By chance, monsieur, I found 't on
a book stall, and it has kept running in
my head over since, over and over and
over again. ”
"Dr. Vernois, my poor fellow, made
many experiments At first the proof
eent was so confused, so hazy, that no
oue who had not seen what Bourion had
written could hnve told wbet it was. If
Vernois, who was a very scientific man,
could find nothing—nothing, I repeat —
which justified Dr. Bourion's declara
tions, wbat do yon expect that any one
else conld make of those researches? Do
not talk eny more or even think any
more about it. ”
“I beg yonr pardon, M. Glnory. One
can and ought to think about it. In any
case, 1 am thinking about it "
A smile of doubt crossed M. Ginory's
lips. Bernardet quickly added: “Pho
tography of the invisible has beeu prov
ed. Are not the Roentgen rays, the fa
mous X rays, as Incredible as that pho
tography can And the image of a mur
derer on the retina of n dead person’s
eye? They invent some foolish things,
those Americans, but they often presage
the truth. Do they not catch hv photog
raphy the last sighs of tho dying? Do
they not fix upon the film or on plates
that mysterious thing which haunts us,
the occult? They throw bridges across
unknown abysses as over great bodies of
water or from one precipice to auotber
and they reach the other side. I beg
your pardon, monsieur." And the police
officer stopped short in his enthusiastic
defense as ho caught sight of 51. Gi
nory’s nstonished face. "I seem to have
been making a speech, a thing I detest. ”
"Why do yon say that to me? Be
cause 1 looked astonished at what you
have told me? I am not only surprised,
I am charmed. Go on, go on!”
“Oh, well, what seemed folly yester
day will lie an established fnct to mor
row. A fact ia a fact. Dr. Vemois had
better have tested again and ugain his
contradictory experiments. I)r. Bou
rion’s experiments had preceded his
own. If Dr. Vernois saw nothing in the
picture taken of the retina of the eye of
the woman assassinated June 14, 1808,
I have seen something—yea, 1 have seen
with a magnifying glass, while study
ing thoroughly the proof given to tho
society and reproduced iu the bulletin
of volume 1, No. 2, of 1870, 1 bavo seen
deciphered the image which Dr. Bouri
on saw and which Dr. Vernois did not
tee. Ab, it was oonfnsed; tho preof was
hazy. It was scarcely recognizable, I
ooufeet, but there are mirrors which are
not very clear and which reflect clouded
vision; nevertheless the image is there.
And 1 have sec_, or what one calls seen,
the phantom of the murderer which Dr.
Bourion saw and which escaped the eyes
of the member of the Academy of Medi
cine and of the hygiene council honor
ary physician of tho hospital, if you
please. "
M. Ginory, who had listened to the
officer with curiosity, began to laugh
and remarked to Bernardet that, accord
ing to this reasoning, illustrated med
ical scionce would find itself sacrificed
to the instinct, the divination of a pro
vincial physician, and that it was only
too easy to put the academicians iu the
wraug and the independents iu the
right.
“Oh, monsieur, pardon. I put no one
in the right or wrong. Dr. Bonrtou be
lieved that he bad made a discovery.
Dr. Vernois was persuaded that Dr.
Bourion had discovered nothing at all.
Kach had the courage of his conviction.
IVhat 1 contest is that for 2t5 years no
one has experimented, co one has made
any researches, since the first expe. i
rueut, and that Dr. Bourion’s communi
cation has been simply dropped and for
gotten. ”
“I ssk your pardon in my tom, Ber
nardet, ” replied M. Ginory, a little
quizzically. “I have also studied the
question, which seems to me a curi

"Have you photographed any your
self, M. Ginory?’*
“No.”
“Ahl There is where tho proof Is."
“But in 1877 tho very learned doyen
of the Academy of Medicine, M. Brou*
ardel, whose great wisdom and whose
sovereign opinion wore law, one of those
men who are an honor to their country,
told me that when he was in Heidel
berg ho bad heard Professor Knhne say
(hat he had studied this same question.
He had made impressions of the retina
of tho eye in the following eases: After
the death of a dog or a wolf be had tak
en out the eye and replaced it with the
back part of the oyo in front; then be
took a very strong light and placed it
in front of the eye, and between tho eye
and the light he placed u small grating.
This grating, after nn exposure of a
quarter of an hour, was visible upon
the retime But those arc very different
experiments from those one hears of in
America. ”
“They could see tho bars in tho grat
ing? If th- t was vi‘ hie, why conld not
the visage of the murderer be found
there?"
“Eh I Other experiments hare been
attempted, even after those of which
Professor Huhue told our compatriot.
Every one, you understand, has borne
only uegative results, and M. Brouardel
conld tell you better than I that in the
physiological and oculistio treatise#
published during the last ten years no
allusion has been made to the preserva
tion of the image ou the retina after
death. It is an affair olasse, Bemardet.”
"Ah, monsieur, yet”— And the po
lice officer hesitated. Bhaking his head,
he again repeated, "Vet—yet"—
"Yon are not convinced?”
“No, M. Ginory. and shall I tell yon
why? You, yourself, in spite of tho tes
timony of illustrious savants, still doubt.
I pray yon to pardon me, bnt 1 see it in
your eyes. ”
“Thut is still another way to nse the
retina," said Ginory, laughing. "You
read one’s thoughts.”
"No, monsieur, but you are a roan of
too great intelligence to say to yoiu.;elf
that there is nothing in this world
classe, that every matter can bo taken
np again. The idea bus come to mo to
try the experiment if I am permitted.
Yes, monsieur, those eyes, did you see
them —the eyes of tho dead man? They
seemed to speak, they seemed to see.
Their expression is of lifelike intensity.
They see, I tell you, they see. They per
ceive something which we cannot see
and which is frightful They bear—and
no one can convince me to the contrury
—they bear ou the retina tho reflection
of the last being whom the murdered
man saw before he died. They keep it
still; they still retain that image. They
are going to hold an autopsy. They will
tell r.e that the throat is cut. Eh, par -
bleu! We know it well. We see it for
ourselves. Moniche, tho porter, knows
it as well as any doctor, but when one
questions those eyes, when one searches
in that black chamber where tho imago
appears as ou u plate, when ono de
mands of those eyes their secret, I am
convinced that one will find it."
“Yon are obstinate, Bemardet.”
"Yes, very obstinate, M. Ginory, and
▼cry patient. The pictures which I took
with my kodak will give us the expres
sion, tho interior, so to speak. Those
which we would tnko of the retina
would reveal to us tho secret of the ago
ny. And, moreover, unless I deceivo
myself, what danger attends such an
experiment? Oue opens the poor eyes,
and that is sinister certainly, bnt when
one holds an autopsy at the morgne,
when one enlarges the gash in the throat
iu order to study it, when one dissects
the body, is it any more respectful or
proper? Ah. monsieur, If 1 but had
your power"—
M. Ginory seemed quito struck with
all that tho police officer had said lo
him, but while ho still held to his con

victions ho did not seem quite uverse to
trying tho experiment. Who cau say to
science, "Halt!” and imposo upon it
limits which cannot bo pussed? No one.
"Wo will see, Bernardet."
And in that “we will see” there was
already a half promise.
“Ah, if yon ouly will, and what
would it cost you?” added Bernardet,
still urgent, indeed almost suppliant.
“Let ns finish this now. They are

magistrate.

! GEORGIA, AT THE OMAHA
EXPOSITION .
The great west lying between the
Mississippi river and the Rocky
mountains js building an exposition
at Omaha which will he the second
greatest ever seen in America. The
movement was started two years ago
and like the Nashville exposition,
was largely inspired by the Cotton
States exposition.
Omaha is a thriving city- It lias
an energetic citizenry. It has a great
deal of wealth, as the buildings and
and private residences attest- All
around it lies a fertile country —lowa
on the east and Nebraska to the.west.
Chicago is fifteen hours, distant.
Kansas is only a night’s ride to the
south and St. Louis about ten hour’s
ride beyond. St. Haul is si venteen
hour's ride to the north and Denver
twenty-four hour’s ride to the west.
Omaha was a trading station on an
old westem trail. I remember hear
ing a passenger say one night as a
train rolled out of Omaha that lie
had scld an acre of land in what is
now the heart of Omaha for the first
cooking stove that was ever seen on
the west side of the Missouri river
So it is not nn old city, as you can see.
The entire west is joining hands
with Omaha and Nebraska in this
enterprise. Every state west of (he
Mississippi will have a building of
its own. Illinois is spending $5O, 000
on its buildiug and exhibit. Con
gress appropriated $2OO, 000 for a
building and display.
The grounds contain 200 acres,
lying aloug tne Missouri river, in
plain view of the railroads* It is only
ten minutes’ ride from the heart of
the city to the ground. Omaha has
a number of hotels and one of them
is large and thoroughly’ modern.
A la'-ge lagoon is the central pict
ureesqut* feu'nre of the exposition’
/.round this lake are the buildings,
several of which are now almost com
pleted. The manufactures will be
second in size to the liberal arts
building at the world’s fair. Neither
it nor the government building is
compl ted, but they will be finished
before June Ist, when the gates nr"
to onen. Electrical effects wil he
stnkirng. The fine arts will be a
notable feature and Omaha will col.
lett the choicest paintings and m-.r
-oles in the public and private gnller
ies of Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis.
European painters have promised to
contribute, too.
Agriculture and mining wi’l have
such displays ns were never seen be
fore in all the world. The west
prides itself on these two great in
dustris and all the western states are
spreading themselves along these two
lines. California wili show what it is
doing in fruit raising as well a* min
ing. Both tl e Dakotas, Montana,
Wyoming, Minnesota, lowa, Utah,
Nevada and Colorado are vying with
each other in make the best showing.
Twenty million people, or more
than one fourth of this country’s pop
ulation, live between the Mississippi
and the Pacific const. Thay esti
mate the wealth of that seeeion at
S2O, 010, 000, 000 or SI, 000 per capi
ta. The corn cr. p is worth S2OO.
000, 000 a year, or far more than 'lie
whole world’s annual gold production-
Last year the west raised neraly 30,
o'.'o, 000 bushels of wheat ana its
hay crop was worth $l5O, 000, 000‘
The west is not only the world’s
granary, but its meat market as well’
Had b net been for the west this
past year, the world would be on
short rations to day because the grain
crops were failures in other grain
growing countries. Omaha is a large
meat packing city and as in Chicago,
the cattle yards and slaughter houses
are pointed out as objects of interest
to visitors.
Nebraska and other western states
are becoming great sugar prodneing
states, the sugar being obtained from
the beet. Manufacturing is growing
all through the west, and like the
south, it is getting to be more and
more independent and self-sustaining.
But there are some things which
have to be obtained from the south—
cottou ami lumber, turpentine and
rosin, rico, early fruits, vegetables
and marble; for examdle.
This will be a very largely attended
exposition. It will offer a splendid
opportunity for advertising the south
