Divorced and Reunited.

A very unusual scene occurred in q
court room at Shelbyville, Indiana, re-
Gently. A suit for divorce. the plaintiff
being Mr.. Sandufer, was on trial, and
the standing of the parties in their
community had caused the attendance
of many people. The case was SUBJ
mitted to the court and the defendant
made no defense, save for the custody
of their one child. The divorce was
granted. Almost Immediately Sanduf-
er and the woman who only one short
moment ago had been his wife rose in
simultaneously from their seats, and by
one accord quietly Withdrew to COR
ner OF the courtroom, where they en-
gagged in earnest conversation. Very
soon the officials and spectators noticed
that the couple were greatly moved at
what had happened, for great tears suf-
fused their eyes and rolled down their
checks. In shorter space of time
than it requires to write it, the mysti-
fed pair embraced, then kissed each
other, then repeated it over and over,
clinging to one another with all the
tenacity of youthful lovers. Men tit
tered, women cried, and the Judge grew
indignant. Rising from his seat, the
court declared that q. couple capable of
such demonstrations as the one Just
made could live together. and taking
up his pen he drew it across the dock
ct, erasing the decree. and making
them man and wife once more. They
left the room in : happy state Of mind.
ana no doubt are now living over their
pleasant sdavs again. s..

The Pen Beats the Scalpel.

It doesn't do to fool with an editor,

Sacramento Record Union boards at
the same hotel with a young M. D. who

nalist naturally comes home in the wee

to Tighten him by suspending skel-

doctor and some friends hid near by to
enjoy seeing the quilldriver' $ hair rise.
Instead OF this, however, that molder
of public opinion calmly examined the
ghostly relic, made memorandum on
his shirt-cuff, and left the house again.
The doctor was very much mysti6ed
by this action, but he understood it all
when he next morning looked in the
paper and saw his name mentioned in
an item headed, "Another Case for the

How TO Dun Debtors

A collector says: 1T doesn't make
much difference what form of words
you use. The main thing is to let him
know that you want the money. There
are certainly mistakes that many fall
into, however. in making a dun. It is
a purely business-like operation.
have had a good deal of experience,
and if you will take the pains to write
them down, I think can give you sew
eral plain rules for dunning that will be
OF benefit to any man that follows
them.''
The following rules were written and
amended to the speakers liking.
1. Never give the idea that you call
because you happened to be in the
neighborhood.
2. Never plead that you are in abso.
Lutte need of the money.
3. Never explain why you want the
money further than by some general
phrase, as to meet outstanding bills.
The debtor is usually an expert in
showing a man how he can get along
without money. He will worst you in
argument, and if you lose your temper
it is an excuse for him why he should
not pay.
4. Always be civil. however business
like and importunate you may deem it
necessary to be.
5. Never think you have done wrong
because q debtor gets angry. His
anger, under civil treatment, shows
that he does not intend to pay. This
you might as we'll know early as late.
6. Show quite as firm resolution to
get the money on your tenth call as on
any previous one, or else it would have
been better If you had not male it.
z. Never leave debtor without bis
setting time when he thinks he can
pay, and never fail to be on hand at the
time set.
8. As between yourself and an en-
ploye, let the most business-like of the
two make the dun.
9. Suggest installments. Shame the
debtor into making an arrangement to
pay something every week or month.
If not $40, then SIS, or So, or 81. 1t will
convince him that you have set to work
in earnest to get the money.
10. If debtor gets angry, or has
worn out your patience, threat to at
tach his salary may be effective, not so
much that he is likely to fear you
will get the money that way, as that
he will be anxious that the affair shall
not come to the knowledge of his en-
ployer.
II. A similar effect may be produced
by saying you intend to place the bill
in the hands of lawyer, whom he
hates or who has reputation for har-
assing debtors. Professional debtors,
however, become careless about legal
processes.
II. Drop into a debtors favorite
haunts. It will make him uneasy. es-
pecially if you don't hesitate to ask him
politely, but p!umply. for your money
on occasion. This may often happen
after he has displayed roll of bills

The Egyntian Artillery,

1t is impossible to state with any de-
gree of certainty how the forts were
armed, but it is manifest that they were
mainly defended by smooth-bore guns
throwing solid spherical shot The g.
inch 12-ton muZzle-loaders which the
Egyptians are known to possess have
only velocity of ,249 feet, and pene-
tration of 81 inches at 1000 yards. The
English muZzle leaders of the same
weight and calibre have, on the other
hand, velocity of l APO feet, and pen
| etration of 1912 inches, under the same
condition; while our new 9.2-inch b. L.
NJ. guns have velocity of 1868 feet,
and penetration of 1876 inches at 1000
yards. Some of the forts, it is true, evi-
IDENTIFY mounted rified guns; but, wheth-
er sn1ooth-bored or riffed, they were of
shorter range, and of considerable less
energy, than the guns employed against
them.
Although, as matter of fact, the
Superb and the Invincible are said to
have been injured, and casualties are
reported on board the whole of the arm
or-clads, with the single exception of
the Monarch, which, being a turret ship
would present clear weather deck
when equipped for action, the compare
tive insignificance of the losses and in
iuries demonstrates that the majority of
the projectiles fell short, and that even
when they hit the mark there was no
burst" On the other hand, in their
attack upon the forts the Infiexible and
the Temeraire had double advantage,
the Importance of which it is impossible
to over-estimate. The immense range
of their turret and barbette guns enabled

ASCERTAINING TIE CAUSE.

NEW YORK, Oct 12.-The New York
Times Washington special says: Politicians
and employees of the departments here
have taken deep interest in the Ohio
election, and are quite serious over the
result. Most of these who have expressed
an opinion says that the republican defeat
has been caused by the loss of
the German element and the large
expenditure of money by the liquor
interest; but there are some who
hold that local issues alone will not ac-
count for what has occurred. These say
that the course taken by congress at its
last session must be numbered among the
Influences of the campaign. In their
opinion the peculiar organization of the
house, under Robson and Keifer; the
treatment of the subject of taxation, and
the reckless and extravagant appropria-
tiOns have had decided effects upon the
voters in Ohio.

a Violinist's Chords.

A citizen somewhat remotely connect
ed with the city government not only
plays the fiddle sweetly, but he has un-
bounded faith in the power of music
over the human mind. He has fiddled
dogs to sleep, fiddled cats into fits, and
cured kicking horses of the vicious habit
in three lessons, but never until yester-
day did he have chance to try the soft
melodies on the ear of drunken man.
He found a chap sleeping off ten-cent
drink in an alley, and he skipped home
for his fiddle, and returned and took a
seat beside the sleeper.
His first attempt was TO strike the
chord of Sympathy. After few scrapes
OF the bow the sleeper sexpression seemed
to grow sad, and he sighed so heavily
that the other end of his paper collar
was torn off. Then he struck the chord
OF Merriment, and solid, silver-plated
grin crept over the sleeper's face and
run down behind his ears. Then fol-
lowed the chord of Contentment. and
the old soaker settled down several
inches into the straw and dirt, and didn't
care If school never let out Now came
the chord OF Despair. There was a wall
from the fiddle, and the sleeper was
working up splendid expression OF
''kiH me with a feather" when a woman
who had no music in her soul leaned
out OF third-story window and upset a
pail of water over the victor and the
victim, followed by the remark, You
want few tears with that chordrs
Ihe citizen remotely connected. and
SO forth, jumped by the rule the first
1ash, while the soaker sat up on end,
looked all around, and shook off the
wet with the observation. ..S'more rain.

Music as a Mental Discipline.

The nature of music is threefold, like
that of man to whom it appeals. There
fore, it may be regarded as a sensuous
art, in that it delights the ear; as a
psychological art, in that it records the
emotions, and requires mental opera
tions on the part of the hearer for its
due appreciation; and, as it involves
agreements, differences, symmetries,
complexities, etc., and order in appar-
ent disorder, it may be regarded as a
branch of science closely alliedt to math-
ematics.
The distances between the holes of q
flute, the tension of a drum-head, the
lengths of organ-pipes, the rapidity of
vibrations, the intervals between recur-
ring accents-in fact, all that may be
surveyed and expressed in numbers in
this art-give evidence of the mental
power of the musician, irrespective of
all considerations respecting the imag-
ination or creative power in originating
composition.
The music of people may be con-
sidered in directrelation to their super
sensuous natures. From this point
alone, strongly marked differences may
be noted; for, by comparing modern
Italian music with German, it is at once
highly in an intellectual sense.
Our modern music is styled new art.
chiefly because it requires advanced
mental powers of a special kind on the
part of composers and auditors. In
stead of being succession of mono
tones, it is complex web of many
tones. that the hearer must analyze to
understand and enjoy In the ordinary
church quartette there are four such in
terwoven threads; in a symphony by
Beethoven, many more. An elaborate
tonal plexus demands from the listener
considerable mental effort, unless he
has acquired by study ''polyphonic
ear" or the power of perceiving the re-
lationships of all the parts heard stimuli
taneously as clearly as one looking down
upon a ballroom scene may perceive
the symmetrical forms of may dance.
