FIRST SUNDAY IN A New HOUSE,.
The first Sunday In new house Il .

weird newness on everything, and YOU

start for scuttle OF coal, but can't see
the scuttle. II Il In the bottom of
barrel In the garret. You take the
dripping pan. When you change your
shirt, you look for 1t first. II Is In one
Of the bureou drawers which are piled
one upon the other In the parlor. and
find you have to lit a halftOn Of car
pets and feather beds before you can
get down to the drawers. Amer you
have lifted them down and searched
them through, It Is remembered by your
wife that II Is In Que Of the barrels-the
one In the shed she thinks. although Il
may be the one In the garret, and yet
1t would be just like that stupid carInan
to have carried that barrel down cellar.
You think so too. You attack one Of
those barrels, and are surprised at the
result. A bed-quilt comes out first,
then pie-tin next piece Of cold ham,
neatly packed away in the missing
scuttle. Below Is an assortment Of
iron ware, and length Of stove-plpe,
half-loaf Of bread, a couple OF towels,
and rolling-pln You begin to ex-

coal mine, and perhaps some dead
friends. Then you 60 down into that
barrel again and come up with pleaF-

emptied medicine bottles. Tho way
you come up this time leads you to con-
slider the barrel itself. It has caught In
the back Of your vest and made the

the cooper who built that barrel was
called away before he cOmmeneed to
clinch the nails. You iny0luntarily
grasp the rolllng-pin abd look around
as II you half expected to see him.
Then you call the girl, to repack the
barrel, and start up stairs 10 look after

were found eight days afterward on the

CURIosITIEs OF SUPEsTITIoN.-Louis
Napoleon in his will emphasizes the
solemn declaration "With regard to
my son, let him keep as talisman the
seal | used to wear attached to my
watch" This piece OF fetishism would
appear to have formed yet another link
between the imperial exile that has
passed from our midst and the Latin
races whose cause he effected to repres-
ent, whose superstitions he certainly
shared. Indeed, the ancient Romans
degraded a priest because his mitre fell,
and unmade a dictator because a rat
squeaked. Caesar crossed the RubicOn
because on the opposite bank he saw a
man with fine figure. His nephew
felt confident Of winning the battle OF
Actium, because he met q peasrnt the
name Of Nicolaus mounted on an ass.

ALCHEMY.-NO doubt there was lot
Of impOsture In alchemy; no doubt, too,
the wish for gold was father to the
thought of alchemy but this in itself
will not account for Henry Nv. prohibi-
ting alchemy; for God-fearing Henry
vi. eagerly encouraging It I; for Pope
John XXI, being an alchemlst; for
Louis XIII. Of france making Fran
ciscan monk his grand almoner as the
reward of hundred years. reign prom
ised to his eredulity by that pretender
to the discovery OF the grand elixir: or
for Jean de Lisle expiating by an early
death in the Bastile his bold attempts
to persuade Louis XIV. and his minis
ters that he possessed the gold-making
stone. Among the wide circle OF influ-
ential believers that alchemy thus Ell
traneed were Roger Bacon, Alberttis
Magnus, and st. Thomas Aquinas, and
even the trancendent intellects of Leib-
nitz, Spinola, and Ver1lam. However,
in the pursuit Of this phantom, Roger
Bacon casually stumbled on the com
position Of gunpowder, Geper on the
properties OF acids, Van HelmOnt on
the nature Of gas geist or spirit, and
DR.. Glauber, Of Amsterdam, on the
uses of the salt which bears his name.
Thus was the alchemist the victim Of
fetishism, the slave Of superstition, the
worshiper of science, the cOnquerer of
power. How much Of alchemy was an
imposture, how much Of It was an en-
thusiasm, It Is impossible to say. The
secular practice Of the science may be
CLEANED from NJ. Geoffroy's demOnstrl-
ton before the Royal Academy Of
Sciences In 1722 that alchemy was a
matter of false-bottomed crucibles, hol-
low hands filed with gold. perforated
lead and soldered nails. The religious
theory Of the science may be gathered
from Faber's Propugnaculum Alchy-
miae, published in 1874, wherein oe-
ours the statement: ''The stone of the
philosopher is, by all the authors who
have treated of 1t, esteemed to be the
greatest gift of God on earth. As
therefore It is 50 mighty a gift Of God,
the most necessary thing, in order that
man should attain to a knowledge of
its excellence and worth, is wisdom,

HINT TO WOMEN.-Ho often do we
hear remarks made relative to women,
formerly bright members Of society
remarks deploring their settling down
in life," as the phrase goes remarks
implying that their lives are unworth-
lily sacrificed, their ambition in its con-
eentratiOn, dead, their brightness all
wasted, because layished at home. 10
me there Is nothing offensive In the
term "settled down In lile." Nothing
ingIOrious when woman, IN her great
love, discovers her family needs her
more than society, and ifeither has to
be slighted, home suffers no loss. On
the contrary, life that Is given to
others with all heartiness, that Is Lead
ing others onward, upward, Is to me
most grand and sublime. And there
fore, with hand uplifted to. God, Inn
plore Him to send His choicest blessings
upon these women in the land, whose
husbands, looking upon their unselfish
living, grow wiser, better, purer, gent
Ter, whose children rise mp and pro-
nounce them blessed-these home and
eart-keepers-God bless them forever.
