Simple ami Devoted.
It ia liffieult to retain simplicity of
life and devotion to religions duty
when burdened with business, fortune
and honor, but it can bo done, for it
has been done.
Lord Hatherly was an eminent law
yer and learned lord chancellor, but
for forty years he was a Sundav school
teacher among the poor of Westmin
ster. Even while - lord chancellor of
England he was to be found every
Sunday, seated among the poor work
ingmen’s children reading and ex
plaining to them the scriptures.
But tl .ie great man’s life was as won
derful in its simplicity as in its devo
tion to duty. Once, by special invita
tion of Queen Victoria, he visited her
at Windsor castle, and remained over
night. On the morning of his depart
ure, the queen said she wished he
would stay another night at the cas
tle. Seeing that he scorned perplexed,
she said:
“Why do you hesitate, my lord? - ’
“Your majesty,” answered the lord
chancellor, "I have never, since I was
married, been ported from my wife
for four aud twenty hours before.”
“Ob, I won’t keep you, then,” ex
claimed the queen, with tbut ready
sympathy which is one of her traits.
Lord Hatherly returned home, and
when ugain the queen invited him lo
Windsor she was cureful to ask him to
bring Lady Hatherly.—Youth’s Com
panion.
A Woman at the Old Hooka Auction.
I was over at an auction sale of old
books the other day. The auctioneer
held up a ‘dusty volume which from
the title was worth about ten ceuls and
asked the usual question, “How
much?”
A woman in the crowd said “Fifty
ceuta."
The auctioneer began crying fifty
cents, wanting to know if ho heard
“the sixty.” As he asked the question
his eyes accidentally turned toward
the bidder and she nodded. The auc
tioneer began crying sixty cents and
wanted to Know if ho heard “the sev
enty.” The woman nodded and the
auctioneer took the bid and cried
“seventy cents; dol hoar the eighty?”
The woman nodded again. This kept
up till the woman had run her bid up
to $2. CO. The auctioneer then asked
her name, whereupon he said, “Sold
to Mrs. for fifty cents,” whereat
the crowd roared, but the poor woman
didn’t seem to know what the roar
meant. She paid her fifty cents, tuck
ed the bopk under her shawl, and went
out.—Chicago Tribune.
How Savage* Poison Their Arrows.
Where do those savages get this
atrocious poison and what does it con
sist of? They got it from their own
flesh and blood, aud itconsistsof noth
ing but the fluids of tho human body.
When they want a supply of poisoned
weapons they take a number or corpses
after a battlo, or they kill a num
ber of prisoners expressly, and, having
left tho bodies to putrefy in the burn
ing equatorial sun for some days, they
stick them full of spears and arrow
heads, which they leave there for
weeks or months, or until the bodies
are entirely dried up. That' is the
whole process. When those spears
and arrows are drawn out, they aro
imporishably steeped in poisrm ns "dead
ly as that of Ecliys oarimAu. or wou-
rali—a poison which is absolutely de
structive of tho life of every creature
whose blood it touches.—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
A llemarkable Suicide.
One of tho most remarkable suicides
recorded in the annals of self destruc
tion occurred near Chiquct, N. B.
Before committing the rasli act, the
self murderer, a Mr. W. R. T. Jones,
dug his grave and placed a rough cof
fin of liis own make at the bottom.
Tlic dirt from the grave was kept
from rolling back into the excavation
by boards held in place by a trigger,
to which a string was attached. Ev
erything in readiness, the deliberate
Mr. Jones, as subsequent developments
revealed, got in the coffin, took a dose
of poison and then pulled the string
and was buried beneath tons of dirt.
It is believed to be one of the most
unique and successful instances of su
icide on record.—St. Louis Republic.
How to Breathe.
Close the mouth, throw the shoul
ders well back, with the weight of the
body resting on the balls of the feet.
This isthconly correct way to stand.
Such a posture throws the abdomen
backward instead of forward, exactly
where it belongs. By means of the
nostrils-draw in the breath deeply and
slowly, aud let it out in the same man
ner. If those who are troubled with
superfluous abdominal tissue will do
this a dozen times a day, and get into
the habit of breathing with the stom
ach and the abdomen, and inflating
every pari of the lungs, they will not
only lay the foundation of good health
but 'they will be shapely in figure and
graceful in carriage.—New York Let
ter.
flow Satin Was Discovert'*!.
Octavio Mai, a silk weaver, finding
business very dull and not knowing
what to invent to give a new impulse
to the trade, was one day- pacing to
and fro before his loom. Every time
he passed the machine, with no defi
nite object in view, he puiled little
threads from the warp arid put them
to his mouth, which soonaifter he spat
out. Later on lie found the little hall
of silk on the floor of his workshop,
# and attracted by the brilliant appear
ance of the threads, he repeated the ex
periment, aud by using certain mucila-
giuous preparations succeeded in giv
ing satin to the world.—Exchange.
A Blind (lexitip.
al. the French sculptor, is one
of the wonders of tho French capital.
Ho has been blind since his 21st year.
Wo can qui'.o easily understand how
a blind farmer would cultivate tho
ground with the plow, spade and hoe-
how he would foci around the tender
plants and gently loosen the dirt from
the roots—or how the blind Birming
ham )Ala.) miner tells, with tho sense
of touch alone, the direction and to
what depth to drill his holes before
nutting in a blast; but tho work of
Vidal stuudsout in bold relief, unique,
wonderful and incomparable. To bo
a sculptor it is generally supposed that
one must have tlie “mechanic’s eye”
and the artist’s taste and perspicuity.
The latter’s faculties Vidal has to an
exceptional degree—even more acute,
he believes, than if the former were
not lost to him forever.
By slowly passing his hands over
an object lie notes its external pro|K>r-
tions and imitates llicjn in clay in a
manner which strikes the beholder
dumb with surprise. A dog. horse,
human face, or anything aliveordead,
he models with hs much case as any
of the dozens of Parisian sculptors
who still retain tho faculty of sight.
From 1855 to 1875 Vidal received
more medals than any other exhibitor
of works in the Puris art exhibitions,.
Many of his worts, made in the soli
tude of his perpetual midnight, are
now on tho shelves at the greut expo
sition, where tbo blind wonder con
tends in friendly rivalry with his less
unfortunate brother artists. Ho never
complains, is always genial and festive
when among his friends, who always
speak of and to*him as though he
could sec, and well may they do so.
for he is one of the best art critics in all
Paris.—St. Louis Republic.
Art and the rraetlnal Age.
In an interview with Anton Rubin
stein published recently in Pall Mall
Gazette, the famous composer gives
expression to the following opinions
with regard to his art and the pros
pects of music: Asked when ho would
return to England and tho concert
stage, he replied:
“Oh, never, never, never. 1 am
done with all that. It is a bad time
for art; and, as regards music, we arc
in a melancholy state, for it is with us
now just us it was in the Eighteenth
century with painting—an absolute
standstill.”
“But how?”
“Why, because there are no geni
uses, absolutely none; if wo have a
new composition, wbat is it? Either
popular airs arranged as symphonies,
or anything you wish for a dryasdust
musical excrciso in counterpoint, with
out melody, passion or beauty; nil, of
course, if you argue over it, correct,
but wearisome enough to make one
bite one’s tongue away with Impa
tience.
“And the reason of it; do you know
what it is?" lio usked comically, us lie
laughed and threw buck liis hair.
"No, what is it?"
“Tho women, the women,” ho an
swered; “they are neither poetical,
naive or ingenuous, but learned, ques
tioning, reasoning. In fact, today wo
have no Ophelias, no Juliets, no Grot-
chons, for every girl is u counterpoint
and every married woman a fugue.”
"In other words, you mean this is
a practical age, and that art can’t
tlourish in it?”
“Yes, yes, that is my meaning
About Hypnotism.
The hypnotic experiments being
made in St. Louis have demolished tl
popular idea about mesmerism: that
is. that tho person of strong will cun,
by simply exercising it, inlhience the
weaker will. That is untrue, to a great
extent. Tho person of the weaker will
can hypnotize him of the stronger
will if tho subjects consents to submit
himself to the influence of the opera
tor. In our St. Louis experiments wo
have found that those accustomed to
obedience sink more quickly into the
hypnotic state and give the best results
when they ure hypnotized. They are
in the habit of subordinating their
own wills to those of others, and so it
is easier for them to yield themselves
entirely to the commands of tho per
son who is hypnotizing them. 1 an
ticipate some original work in St.
Louis by the hypuotizers, now that
we have begun the investigation with
a will. There are now a dozen earn
est and thoughtful men, skilled in tho
treatment of various diseases, now
working away at hypnotism.—Phy
sician in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Every young man who is old enough

ries he allies himself with that large
class, the married family, and his dai

from that class. Besides, no influence
lends such inspiration to a man’s en

dependent upon him is a true and noble
woman, whose love looks to him for the
perfect fulfillment of her happiness.

The eyelet of a corset seems
a trifle to make a business on;
but what if one eyelet cuts
the laces, while another eye
let don’t ?
And what if the eyelet that
cuts is in universal use ?
And what if the eyelet that
cuts the laces also rusts the
corset ?
And what if the eyelet that
cuts i6 not so neat and proper
and womanlike as the other?
And what if it costs as little
or less to put in and never
comes out or wears out ?
The new eyelet is made of
loops of corset lace instead of
metal.

Where tlio Buffalo Thriven.
After the lamentable experience of
this country, it is interesting to know
that there is a part of the world where
the buffalo is not only uot dying out,
but increasing in numbers. Vast

ning wild over certain districts of
northern Australia. The animal is
said to be massive and well grown,
with splendid horns. The first buffa
loes were landed at Port Essington,
North Australia, about the year 182!).
