lever in his bigotry. Meiegari was a good h ,arted
young man, and kind. and gay. and generous by
nature; but he had the prejudices of his time
and of his school These preiudices made him
ready to believe that a priest was always fit food
at heart for the galleys or the scafrold; a mass
of concealed iniauity covered by his cloth.
II believe you know more of it than any one,"
he said roughly, one day when he passed
the priest on a narrow feld-path, while his eyes
flashed suspiciously over the downcast face of
Gesualdo. who shrank a little as If he had re-
ceived a blow, and was silent.
He had spoken on an unconsidered impulse,
and would have been unable to say what his W
meaning really was, but as he saw the embarras-
ment and observed the silence of his companion,
what he had uttered at hazard seemed to him
curiously confirmed and strengthened.
IF you know anything which could save her
and you do not speak" he said, passlonately,
may all the devils you believe in torture you
through all eternity"
Gesualdo still kept silent. He made the sign
of the cross nervously, and went on his way.
Curse all these priests" said the young man,
bitterly looking after him.. IF one could only
deal with them as one does with other men!-
but in their ~vileness and their feebleness they
are covered by their frock like women"
He was beside himself with rage and misery
and the chatting sense of his own impotence; ne
was young and strong and ardently enamored,
and yet he could do no more to save the woman
he loved from eternal separation from him than
if he had been an idiot or an infant, than if he
had had no heart in his breast and no blood in
his veins.
Whenever he met the vicar afterwards he did
not even touch his hat. and ceased those outward
observarces of respect to the church which he
had always given before to please his master,
who liked such example to be set by the steward
to the peasantry.
'If Ser Baldo send me away for it. so he must
do" he thought. II will never set foot in the
church again. I should choke that accursed
ParOcco with his own wafer"
For suspicion is a poisonous weed which, if left
to grow unchecked, soon reaches maturity, and
Falko Melegari soon persuaded himself that his
own suspicion was a truth, which only lacked
time and testimony to become as clear to all
eyes as it was to his.

A Cynical Novel.

The following quotations from the new novel,
without a Compass have a rather Frenchy
twist:
The first twenty-five years of life we are
taught morality. The second twenty five we try
to forget what we have learned. The third
twenty-five we preach it to others. After seven
ty-fve years we begin to practice it"
Spend half your life in making friends; the
other half in robbing ~them--gain a reputation
SO that you may live as though you did not pos
sess one. These are maxims that every neophyte
upon the Stock Exchange should MASTER"
zone can't succeed in the world unless the
women are his allies. Conquer the wives; the
husbands will be vanquished also. To a man
you can never be more than somebody; you
may be all the world to each one Of q hundred
women"
Deceit Is to woman what strength IL to man.
The wife who mover aeeeives her husband ir
anything must turn her dreAs twice too often. =

Philadelphia Inquirer.
A well-known undertaken of the Twentythird
ward tells a comical story of economy in collins.
Some years ago the undertaken sold a child's
coffin. The purchaser, paying S. and taking the
coffin under his arm, walked off and had the
child inferred. Some years later the same party
came for another receptacle of the dead. Five
dollars changed hands, as before, and the coffin
was conveyed in the same manner as pre-
viously. Instead of digging a new grave, the old
one was reopened by the father with the help OF
a friend. Soon the former box was struck and
sounded hollow. curiosity tempted them to open
it, and they beheld nothing but dust. An idea
struck the brain of the friend.
Say, what's the use of paying for two cofini
Put the child in this old one and take back the
new coffin"
Tho brilliantidea was carried out and the
grave covered up again. The two then set out
for the undertaken, who, tickled with the novelty
of the thing. took back the coffin, and only
charged 81 for his trouble.

The land that ends our dark. uncertain travel.
Where lie those happier hills and meadows low
All! if beyond the spirits inmost cavil
Aught OF that country could we surely know
Who would not goa
Might we but hear
The lowering angels's high, imagined chorus.
Or catch, betimes. with wakeful eyes and clear,
One radiant vista of the realm before US,
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
All! who would fear?

To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there, by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were love-lit only
This weary mortal coil, were we quite sure,
Who would endured

ment America is able to offer a
home TO all, simply because 1t offers
work to all. 1t is pre-eminetly the
home of the worker and not of the
idler, and therefore here, more than
anywhere else, is 1t appropriate that
expression should be given to the rela-
tions which subsist between the two
countries. There is another reason
why an American representative, and
above all an American lawyer, should
be glad to come here on this occasion,
and that is the common share which
we claim and the common admira-
ton which we feel for the distinguish
ed men who are your guests tonight
the Judges of England. We claim
them as ours, as brethren OF our pro-
fessiOn in America, one and all. In
hundreds of courts and among thou
sands of lawyers and judges who
never saw and never will see the faces
of the English judges, their names
to-day are household words, and their
decisions are the subject of constant
study and of constant instruction.
American judges have to administer
Justice from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic, but although the judgments of
the English judges do not prevail
there, they are seen and felt by both
bench and bar. One distinguished
member of the English bench, Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge, came TO
America year ago. He came as the
guest of the American bar, and was
made the guest of the American peO-
pie. He delighed us all, and he went
away, l an glad to think, not alto
gether displeased with us. l hope
that many of his distinguished brethren
may follow his example, and travel
through what / may call the second
jurisdiction of the British bench. In
no other things are the British pco-
pie to be more largely congratulated
than on their judiciary. Never did
the judgments of the courts command
higher regard and more complete con-
sideration than they do to-day. 1t is
the Justice done in the land that makes
your commerce possible; it is that JUS
tice which has built up British liber-
ties. The freedom of England has
been fought for over many a field and
contended for in many parliament,
but, after all, it is to the Judges that
you are most indebted for the freedom
you enjoy. Your poet laureate has
condensed the whole thing in the
lines:
When freedom slowly broadens down
From precedent to precedent.

Culture and Happiness.

Now life is not only what we make
it, but it is, very largely, what we
think it is. If we hold before our
selves constantly, some dreary might
have been;" if we think it is, in some
unexplainable way, finer and more ex-
alted to set ourselves to minor key
of some miserere, we may become in
reality very unhappy. There is no
law, unfortunately, against peoples
making themselves wretched. Schop-
enhaue's theory is that culture makes
for unhappiness; that the more culti-
waited is an individual the more sensi-
tive is he to physical discomfort or
mental troubles, and that he is there
by "A being formed to be Jared upon at
every turn. 1t is very possible that
the old adage about little learning
applies to this case. A superficial
culture doubtless increases ones sem
sibilities in various ways without pro-
ducing "a corresponding increase of
resources; but the deeper culture sup
plies these and enables its possessor to
bear a thousand trials or to discover
means TO surmOut them as may be, of
which the more ignorant individual
would never have dreamed.-BoStOn

Earthquake Phenomena.

The only settled facts about earth
quakes are, that they are the result of
some shock impaired to the rocks at a
considerable distance beneath the sur
tace, and that this shock reaches the
surface in a series of concentric rings,
all POINTS on the circumference OF each
ring receiving the shock at the same
moment, even though they NAV be
hundreds of miles apart. In other
words, all points at equal distances
from the center of the earthquake re-
celve the shock at the same moment.
Although this is theoretically the case,
according to we'll known physical laws,
still in practice the facts are some
what different, for the shock is re-
tarded or accelerated according as the
rock opposes or favors the passage of
the wave. The severity of the shock
in a given place is dependent upon a
variety of causes. These are: /, The
strength of the original shock; 2, the
distance from the earthquake center;
and, 3, the kind of rock on which one
is standing, loose gravels greatly di-
minishing the force of the shock.
The destructiveness of earthquakes
depends rather upon the suddenness
of application than the amount of mo-
ton. In that at Rio Bomba, it is re-
ported for fact that man was hurl-
ed across stream distance of one
hundred feet, and landed on an eleva-
tion fifty feet higher than his original
position. 1t is an undoubted fact that
objects are frequently thrown great
distances. In the Mississippi valley,
during the earthquakes of 1911 to
1914, the tops of trees were twisted
and entangled, and strong log cabins
were thrown to the ground. Rivers
are sometimes checked in their flow,
and in past geological ages some have
been completely turned from their
course by earthquakes. - Ralph S. 1arr

A Model Wife.


The best woman i'm the world resides
In the city OF Austin. She has been
married q numper of years to man
named Peterby, who is one OF the most
disagreeable, quarrelsome men outside
of the Texas Legislature. And yet
Mr. and Mrs. Peterby have never had
a quarrel, for the reason that 1T is inn
possible to make her angry. He has
scowled at her, and occasionally watt
ed chair at her, just to see 1T She
would not get angry. but he suffered
disappointment in each and every
instance. Peterby had been Dragging
to his friends about what good
natured wife he has. and Gilhooly Of
fered to bet fifty dollars that if Peterby
were to go home, raise fuss, and pull
the table cloth full of dishes off of
the table, she would show signs of
temper. He had tried that with his
wife once, but he never repeated the
experiment
Peterby said he didn't want to rob
a friend of his money, but he knew he
could win. At last they made the bet.
The friend was 10 watch the proceed
ings through q window. Peterby
came home apparently fighting drunk.
She saw him coming, went out to the
gate, opened it, kissed him and assist
ed his tottering steps into the house.
He sat down hard in the middle of the
floor, and howled OUT
''Confound your ugly picture. what
did you pull that chair from under me
for?"
II hope you did not hurt yourself,
she replied, smiling kindly. Il was
to blame for it; am SO awkward. But
I'll try and not do it again if you will
forgive me this time," and she helped
him to his feet, although she had moth
ing to do with his falling. He then
sat on the sofa, and sliding off on the
floor, abused her like pick-pocket
for lifting up the other end of the sofa.
She said she was sorry, and finally led
him to the supper table. He threw
plate at her, but she lodged it, and
asked him If he would take tea or cof-
fee. Then the brute seized the table
cloth, sat down on the floor, and pull
ed the dishes and everything over him
in one grand crash. Some women
might have lost their temper; but not
so with Mrs. Peterby. She did not
blubber like child; she did not even
sulk or pout. With pleasant smile,
she said:-
well George, this is new idea.
We have been married ten years, and
never yet eaten our supper on the floor.
Won't it be fun! Just like those PIC
mics we used to 90 to before we were
married." and then this angelic wo-
man deliberately sat down on the floor
alongside of the wretch, arranged
the dishes, and fixed him up a nice
supper. This broke him up. He own
ed up he was only fooling her, and
offered to give her fifty dollars to get
herself new dress with. She took
the money and bought him a new suit
of clothes and "A box of cigar with it.
