The riauMble Lie.
We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us, not be¬
cause they are untrue. Take the detrac¬
tion and the mischief from the untruth,
aud we are little offended by it. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleused
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum of
mischief in the world. They are contin¬
ually crushed aud aro felt only in being
conquered. But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy,
the patriotio lie of the historian, the
provident lie of the politician, the zeal¬
ous lie of the partisan, the merciful lie
of the friend and the careless lie of each
uinn to hituself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through which
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug a well in a
desert. Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with us, even when we have
willfully left the fountains of it.—John
Kuskiu.

the lower classes. Some of the most in-

a barmaid in order to make “ a " livine 'o JLt
rRp(lcja)]y jf th „ '
a c hanco to catch a rich husband.
‘ 'A public ho rise, situated at the angle
of one of the principal thoroughfares, is
both a gilded palace and a mine of gold.
It exercises a strange fascination upon
the poor country bumpkins who have
just enough to pay for a drink, but the
dndo coining out of a theater, the conn-
try greenhorn, the fashionable snob and
the frequenter of the music balls are al-
ways to be found there, it is among
* hfcs ? th “ l hannaidsinmt for a hus-

mouth and a glass of beer or whisky in
,ront ot him the young Englishman,

to one or several of Il.eso ladies.

«mt yourself with a silk hat and a
handsome caue in your hand and a unit
cut in tho latest fashion. The high hat
fe do rigneur. Without that there is no
possible chance of success.
“It was not without difficulty that I
managed to get an interview witli one
of these young ladies, whose intelligence
was equal to lior beauty. At first I was
astonished at finding so much
genoe in an English girl, but I
that she was Irish, and that explained
the mystery. Her father was dead and
hur mother wus left without resources,
So she was determined to como to Lon-
don and look for a husband by posing
behind n bar in Piccadilly. '
“ ‘I was hardly more than three days
hflr e.’ B lie said With an amiable and
roguish air, ‘when I understood why it
Was that so many pretty English girls :
don’t get husbands. When they aro
beautiful, they are generally stupid
When they are intelligent, they are oold,
masculino and ugly. Englishmen travel
“ f5 re »t deal and meet in their raniblings
0,0 y orld very many
women, and they do not care for pretty
girls who don’t know how to chat with
them.’
“‘But in this mixture that comes here
to drink and chat,’I said, ‘how do you
distinguish tho men of the world from
the others?’
“ ‘I recognize them by three things,’
she said boldly, ‘by fjjgir figure,
their clothes and by their complexion,
For-the most-part they are tall and thin,
dressed in the latesk,fashion and have a
complexion more,op,less bronzed. This
last trait is the surest sign. ’ Seeing that
I looked astonished, she added : ‘Noth-
ing can bo more, simple. An English
gentleman, if he 1ms a fortune, passes
threo-fourths of his time hunting and
in other open air exercise. The chaps
who remain always in London have a
paler and moro delicate complexion,
and, moreover, tho expression of their
faces Is quite different from that of tho
others.’
“Noticing with what attention I was
listening to her, she continued: ‘Tho
gentlemen that I refer to have nothing
elegant about them except theirclothes,
for their conversation lacks novelty.
How can a man who understands noth¬
ing but hunting and cricket interest an
intelligent woman? The conversation
that goes on here in the uamo of wit
makes mo tired, but these gentlemen aro
tho easiest of all to deceive. They aro
great big children in everything except
sport and politics.’
“‘But you are always engaged,’ I
said, ‘and it is difficult to get an oppor¬
tunity to chat with yon. You must al¬
ready have had several offers of mar-
ri ““’I
have been only one month here.
and I have already had three. Two
were from verv rich sportsmen, but
riches alone won’t do for me. Wlmt I
am after,’ she added, laughing, Ms a
title. You know, I must have a title.’
“At this moment tho play in ouo of
the neighboring theaters was over, and
the public house was invaded by a
crowd of men, more or less stylish. Tho
beautiful Irish girl kept herself some-
what aloof and only served customers
that lmd the appearance of gentlemen.
“Well, I left London. A few months
afterward, on returning there, I wanted
to see once moro my beautiful Irish bar-
maid. She was gone. Another lady was
in her place, and she told me that Miss
Clara had left to marry the second son
of a prominent nobleman.”
Adtlitlon to Ycllowntouf Park,
Captain Anderson, superintendent of
tho Yellowstone National park, says
that an effort is being made to secure
legislation from congress which would
add tho Jackson’s Hole country to the
park. The area which it was proposed
to tako in is about 50 miles square and
contains Jackson’s lake and the Three
TntoH mountain peaks. It is rich in
natural scenery and would, in tho opin¬
ion of the captain, add materially to
the park’s attractiveness. Senator Car-
ter of Montana lias drafted a bill for
that purpose, which has the indorse-
incut of the senators from Montana and
Idaho, hut the Wyoming senators have
not yet been won over.—Omaha Bee.

wolves are killed off by Ibis process be¬

Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also
used. The capsule is thrust into a slit

QUESTION OF LUCK.
A Citation That Ciinrlieil the Other Si<h>
of the Argument.
“I hate to he ,r people ray there’s no
sucii tiling nH i uck,” reuiiitkiid cii6 mei-
aucboly Mr. DoiitUe.
“I don't suo why,“his wife rejoined,
“Because it isn’t true," he returned
with asperity. “A man can go on
1DR ttIld trying and never got along,
and some other person will go ahead
liable into good things without
making any effort whatever. ”
“ IIirau b »o great man has succeeded
without hard work.”
“ That ’ s tlie kind of talk you always
hear. , But nine times out of tea it U all
owing to the opportunity that presented
itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait
to kidnap some men. Look nt Sir Isaac
Newton. His natno is handed down
from generation to generation. And
why? Simply because he was sitting
under a tree, and an apple happened to
drop on him. You can’t pretend that a
man is in a position to claim superior
merit simply because, through no nc-
tion cr preference of his own, he gels
hit in the head with an apple, can you?”
“No, Hiram.”
“Then don’t tell me about there not
being any such thing as luck.”
“It seems to me that you’vo chosen a
poor example in support of your argu¬
ment. The case of Isaac Newton goes
to show that the difference is in the
people. If it had been some men that I
know of instead of Newton, the first
thing they would have done after the
apple fell would have been to go into
tho houso and moan for tho arnica bot¬
tle; then they would bavo spent two or
tbreo hours of precious time talking
uhout their bad luck.”—Washington
Star.
Clock* With Nerve*.
There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is being noticed by
the occupants. It is perhaps a small
disadvantage, but still is worth consid¬
ering, as it involves some annoyance to
those who have not made provision for
it.
Tho troublo referred to is the stop¬
ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra¬
tion of the buildings. Many a pendulum
clock that has kept accurato time for
years in old fashioned low structures
Jins refused to run at all when moved
into some one of the new tall stool
framed buildings in the lower part of
tho city. On tho lower floors of the
buildings (he clocks run fairly well, but
when higher up in tho buildings they
become more whimsical aud on the top
floors will not run at all.—New York
Times.
Egg Feeding Snake.
Thero is one species of snake, in tho
geuus doirodon, which feeds exclusively
upon the eggs of small birds. Its teeth
are very small and are soon lost. The
eggs are swallowed whole, and when
passing through tho gullet are broken
by a device somewhat similar to the giz¬
zard.
