and had an exciting scene with his father
in the woodshed. He had been promised
a red sled at Chl istmas if he obeyed to
the letter a lot of parental rules, one of
which prohibited any rent or collection
of rents in his new winter clothes. Tom
my was not disobedient boy at heart,
but he was extremely unfortunate, and
his fond but exacting parents awarded
punishment according to results and
without considering causes.
y red sled was the supreme wish of
Tommy'S heart, and he strove with all

spotless record and rentless suit; but he

said he would be rlngmaster, because he
had studied for that part, and Tommy

back act on the goat. Tommy was easily
persuaded; so he opened the performance
as Ben had suggested.
There was only one act, but it was long
and exciting and painful, even more ex-
citing and painful to Tommy than the
later circus with his father in the wood
shed, Where T,mmv again appeared in a

Tommy Templeton sat up in bed and
rubbed his eyes. Tue sun was shining
in his window and the Christmas bells
were merrily ringing. Tommy was at
home in his own little room, and the
first object that caught his eyes was a
brightly painted sled near his bed. He
bad been restless during the night, and
it is very likely, you will say, that he
had not been to the moon at all, but had
just had very cool and curious dream =,

The Dead Sea Of the West.

The famous Dead Sea of the West,
Mono Lake, situated in Mono county,
California, is thus described by a writer
in the San Francisco Chronicle. '.Its.
water is so strongly impregnated with
alkalies that the hand held for a few
minutes in it will crack open and the
skin be eaten off. No living thing ex-
lists in it, though it is said that often,
after strong winds have blown across
its surface, there is a layer of worms
several feet wide on its leeward shore.
It c~leanses clothes dipped in it almost
instantly, and if they are not as speedily
removed does worse. Its shores are bar
ren,, bleak and lonely in the extreme,
bordered by a soil that will grow moth
ing but the scrubbiest of sage brush. In
the prosperous times of Bodie a steamer
piled on the lake, but it is now laid up
in ordinary. The length of the lake is
about 80 miles, and its greatest width
about 10 miles. Seen from this magni-
ficent point, surrounded by the walks of
Bloody Canyon, it is one of the noblest.
views on earth, but at the same time it
only proves to one who has been about
its shores and toiled across the deserted
and sandy interval to the welcome foot
of the Sierra, with ever no better way
across than the Bloody Canyon, that
truly distance lends enchantment to the
view"

Speaking Thro ugh the Eyes.

Prof. Hugo Maguas recently delivered
in Berlin a lecture on ''The Speech of
the Eyes" First he showed how various
thoughts and emotions may find their
expression through the eyes, how rage,
JOY, sadness, sympathy, all may be indi-
Gated by n look, and how a question
may be asked or be replied to simply by
one scarcely observable movement of the
eye. But the most interesting part of
his lecture was a point with which many
a physician may not be acquainted, not
from ignorance, but simply because
he has never given the subject any
thought, viz. the fact that all the vari-
Gus expression of which the eye is cap
able are not all made by the
eye itself, i. e., by the eyeball, but
by the movements of neighboring
parts. The eye itself may be station
airy, not the least motion may be OBJ
served in it, and yet this rising of the
lids expresses our surprise, half closing
them together with contraction of the
brow indicates our displeasure, and q
peculiar abrillar-like movement of the
lids, the orbicularis palpebrarum, and
the parts around the nose together form
what we are in the habit of calling "a
merry twinkle" Many a one who will
read these lines will at once acknowledge
that such is the case, and that the facts
are as stated, but at the same time he
will acknowledge that he had never
thought about it, and had never imag.
incd that as all the manifold expressions
which we ascribe to the eye-the mirror
of the soul-the eye itself has no share.
When a criminal has his character pic
tured in his eyes, it is not they that tell
us the moral depravity of tho man, but
the play of the neighboring muscles,
which, perhaps for years, always obey
ing the impulse of the brain, form to-
gether the group we call physiognomy.

A Surprised Soldier.

A Baden Baden letter tells this story
about the Empress of Austria: The EN-
press Elizabeth has been in the habit of
taking long walks every day some fifteen
or twenty miles, generally accompanied
by only her maid of honor. A short
time ago they were going to Rastadt, a
little town about twelve miles from here,
containing a royal school and barracks,
when they lost their way. They were
in despair, but were relieved by meeting
two private soldiers, whom they took as
guides, not telling whom they were.
The empress walked with one of the
soldiers, the maid of honor with the
other for the whole afternoon, conversing
very pleasantly. The Empress told her
companion that she was an Austrian, and
would like to see him again, inviting him
to call upon her the next day and giving
him her address. The day arrived-so
did the soldier-he was ushered into a
room, where he met the Colonel of his
regiment, who questioned him about his
behavior the day before. The poor SOL
der was struck dumb with horror when
he found with whom he had chatted in
such a friendly manner, as her Majesty
dresses very simply when she goes on
these tramps, and had simply told him
that her name was Elizabeth; he, of
course, had no idea of her exalted rank.
She presented him with twenty marks.

PEARLS OF

Set not too high a value on your own
abilities.
He that will not look before him will
have to look behind him-and probably
with some regret.
The appellation of gentleman should
never be affixed to a mans circumstances
but to his behavior in them.
Those who sheer habitually at human
nature. and get to despise it, are among
Its worst and least pleasant samples.
If a mans religion is pretentious on
Sunday and obscure o N week days, you
would better do business with him on q.
cash basis.
Happiness does not consist in our
possessions, but what we are in need of
ourselves. The person who has a clean
heart and conscience is far happier than
if he was the owner of untold millions.
Goodness is beauty; and beauty cannot
stay inside; like the sap in q tree, it
must come out in fresh leaves and buds
and blossoms. Good, pure, kind pencr-
Gus thoughts light up the plaincst face,
and make it beautiful and youthful.
Idlcncss is the hotbcd of temptation,
the cradle Of disease, the wastcr of time
the cankcr worm of f~e,icity. To him
who as no employment, life in a little
while will have no novelty; and when
novelty is laid in the grave, the funeral
of comfort will soon follow.
The Abbeville messenger. (Abbeville, S.C.) 1884-1887, 1886-08-03

at the meeting of the Presbyterian
ministers of Philadelphia recently the
Rev. Dr.. W. D. Roberts delivered an ad-
dress on ''Suicide, its Causes, Laws and
Cures" He said that the publication
OF the suicides of the world by the news
papers caused weak-minded and sick
persons to tend toward suicide. In
France the first part of the week pre-
dominates largely over the latter part in
number of suicides, because Saturday is
payday, Sunday drinking day, Monday
repenting day and Tuesday the day of
suicide. The remedy, he argued, against
the suicidal inclinations is for all people
to become devout Christians and fully
believe in God.
