It looks very much as if the Wash
ington Police Department would
have to be thoroughly re-organized,
or else become an object of SO much
resentment on the part of Congress
men, as to make il difficult to secure
decent consideration from that body.
Major Walker, the Superintendent
of Police, has instucted his Lieuten-
ants to watch the movements of Con-
gressmen, and Major Walker him
self has promptly preferred charges
before the District Commissioners of
"conduct unbecoming an officer"
against Lieutenant Richard A. Ar
mold. The trial Of several charges
were begun in November, 1886, and
there is consequently no little stir
among political circles at Washing
ton. Numerous witnesses were call
ed upon 10 testify and Lieutenant
Arnold set the report, about the pro-
posed surveillance of Congressman,
in motion, hut it is assumed that
there will he no attempt made to
disprove any Of the testimony so far
given. A statement made by Major
Walker has apologized for circulat
ing the report, and had asked to be
reduced to the ranks, is regarded as
damaging, but the general opinion
seems to be that the Lieutenants were
given to understand that there was
to he watching and reports, and that
some sort of control over Congress
was to lie exercised in that way.
Should the trial Board consider it
wise to whitewash the Superintend-
ent and punish Lieutenant Richard
Arnold, it is not probable that this
course will prevent Congressional
investigation or a general re-organi-
zation of the police department.

SIX SUIC1DEs.-The Bible gives

SIX SUIC1DEs.-The Bible gives
an account of six suicides:
1. Samson, the giant Judge of Is.
rael, for twenty years without a spot
on his judicial proceedings, fell In
bad society, was captured by his
enemies and to free himself from
disgrace and the cruel sport of his
enemies, killed himself by his own
strength. Judges XIV. 919
2. Saul, King of Israel, lost the
battle of Gilboa, afterward threw
himself on the point of his sword
and ended his life. 1 Sam. XXI.
3. Saul's armor bearer suicided as
did his master, with no name re-
corded in the Bible.
4. Ahithophel, the most astute pol
itician of the age in which he lived.
He joined with Absolom in the con-
spiracy against David. His coun-
sci against David being defeated,
and seeing his own destruction,
hanged himself. 2Sam. xvii, o.
5. Zimri murdered Elah, king of
Israel, and usurped the throne, de-
stroyed the house of Baasha, reigned
7 days and went into the palace Of
the kings house, and burnt it with
himself in it, to prevent his capture
by Omri. l Kings xvi.
6. Judas the traitor, betrayed his
Master, and sold him for thirty
pieces of silver, near $l5 of our mon
ey. He brought the money back
and cast it into the temple saying,
II have sinned in that I have be-
trayed the innocent BLOOD" repent
ed himself. Matt. xvii. He had
some honest traits about him. Jesus
prayed for worse men than Judas.

she entered the room once more. The lamp
was still burning, but Sophia was in bed, and,
her silence indicated, sleeping. The mother
walked softly across and looked at her
daughter.
and she had thrown back the quilt little,
and her arm, her brown hair, and a glimpse
of her white and innocent breast, together
with the repose of her expression, made up q
picture which many an artist would have given
a years income to paint She looked the
very image of purity and peace, and even
little Mrs. Barbara, who was shot-proof
against most forms of emotion, felt moisture
stealing into her eyes as she gazed. She bent
a little down, and then she saw that the face,
now so calm, had been traversed by recent
tears. Yes, Sophia had been crying since
she lay down, and she had fallen asleep with
wetted cheeks.
Something in her hand caught the mothers
eye, and she looked closer still Her hand was
beside her face, and the little article she held
was placed so that her sleeping lips just
touched it. With great caution and stiffness,
Mrs. Barbara Temple lowered her eyes, and,
stopping and stretching, she managed to see
what her daughter was holding. It was q
miniature Of Percival Brent.

trees were here before the ice, and that
this forest probably once connected with
the forests of the great fiat lands. Here
was updoubted evidence that this small
forest was being obliterated rapidly by
the advancing front of the Guyot glacier,
the foot-ice grinding the huge trees into
pulp and splinters as surely as a quartz
crusher grinds the rock into powder.
Trees five and six feet through were bent
over and splintered as if they were brush,
while some of the fallen trunks were split
longitudinally into perfect kindling-Wood.
1t was the mills of the gods grinding
slowly, etc. Nor were they grinding so
very slowly, either, as one could see by
comparing them with other glacial action
near by. But little way off, probably a
half-mile to mile away, was small
clump of woods, into which the glacier
in the past had protruded, as shown by
the fallen shattered trunks that lay near
the edge of small moraine, from which
the glacier had now retreated great
number of rods. Out from the bristling
line of shattered tree trunks piled over
each other for nearly or fully hundred
yards all the spruce trees were dead but
still standing, their whitened trunks and
long, gaunt limbs contrasting strangely
duu COuSpiCuOuSly Will lllC tIScS ollll CON"
cred with foliage that formed their back
ground. These dead evergreens had been
actually killed by the proximity of the
ice without its touching them, and either
by its chilling influence, kept up through
out the year for probably centuries, or the
constant application of the ice-water about
their roots preventing their growth, for
along this toot-ice there was always
marshy stream of ice-water draining off
to the nearest muddy creek or rill. This
was true Of the glacier foot not over fifty
yards from our camp in the forest, for here
we got our water for cooking purposes,
but here, also, the ice Of the glacier had
evidently come forward so fast that the
trees were rather killed by the direct crush
ing of their trunks and limbs,than by the
slower one Of the influence of great masses
of ice near by, and it was possible to sit
down on this foot-ice of the Guyot glacier,
probably ten to twenty feet thick at that
point and at the same time be under the
shade of huge evergreen tree, if per
son desired two such cooling influences at
the same time. Thus I came to the con-
clusion that the front of this great glacier
was like the fingers of some huge radiat:
inganimal prolonging themselves outward
and retracting again at long intervals, that
would require many human lives, one
after the her, to measure single stride
and its backward fow.-FFeolerick SctaDat-

IN A DEAD MANS POCKET.

Stephen Allen Price was man who
was liked and looked up to by all who
knew him. He was honest, kind and
true, a warm friend and good neighbor.
The boys and girls all liked him because
he never forgot that he had been young
once himself. He was never stiff and
cross and bOssy with them, but was their
good friend. He became rich, was made
mayor Of New York city, and lived to he
very old. He lost his life in steamboat
disaster. Those who found his dead body
found a scrap of printed paper in his pock.
etbOok. 1t was so worn with oft reading
that they could scarcely make out the
words, but this is what was upon the
paper:
Keep good company Or none. Never
be idle.
If your hands cannot be usefully en-
ployed attend to the cultivation of your
mind.
Always speak the truth. Make few
promises.
Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets, if you have any.
When you speak to a person, look him
in the face.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews of virtue.
Good character is above all things else.
Your character cannot be essentially in
jured except by your own acts.
If any one speaks evil of you, let your
life be so that none will believe him.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live (misfortune excepteU within
your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper.
Small and steady gains give competency
with tranquility of mind.
Never play at any game of chance.
Avoid temptation through fear you may
not withstand it.
Earn money before you spend it.
Never run into debt, unless you see
plainly your way to get out again.
Never borrow, if you can possibly avoid
doing so.
Do not marry until you are able to sup
port wife.
Never speak EVIL of any one. Be just
before you are generous.
Keep yourself innocent if you would be
happy.
Save when are young to spend when
you are old.
Read over the above maxims, at least,
once week.

Presently Egerton looked in from the

II have heard all you have been saying

pie, do you know I really think you
must be a clever woman; really think
you must be. You seem to know every
thing and to manage everybody. Iquite

outstretched hand began fluently-"im-
press upon her the tremendous import
ance of marriage. Tell her that marri-
ageis the sort Of thing that must be done,
you know. You can assure her from
me that it is tremendously important.
And you can tell her that my experience
is that it isn't so much matter whom you
marry as the thing ITSELF Do that, and
the rest will follow. OF course was not
speaking of myself quite, you know,
not altogether; for Carry is such tre-
mendously nice girl that don't hardly
know that I could have found another
wife who would have made me so hap
py-at least, not without great deal Of
trouble, you know. But mean you are
to impress on Sophia that, in a general
way. It does not much matter whom you
marry. And then, if she won't see it
we'll. scarcely know what to advise"
The stream now became intermittent,
and Egerton began to show symptoms of
wandering in his mind. II was reading
some book lately about girl that would
not marry somebody; and what her pa
rents did was, they shut her up in some
lower somewere, and kept her on bread
and water. But you see you have no
tower at the Beeches. Still, you might
try the bread and water. 1t is wonder
full what diet does.'
Off flew our elderly little Venus once
more, charioted hither and thither on the

knitted her brows, she made her little
glove finger tips meet, she set reflective
mouth, and thus she conned over the

Car, who has not much feeling of her

it is not bad. And there is more to come.

THE EATERS OF OLIVES.

The extent to which the olive is
used varies greatly in different coun-
tries. In northern countries it is
used chiefly as relish eaten by itself,
or as a sauce, seasoning or stutfllng
for meats, fowls or game. 1t is on
the tables of the rich what the French
call hors d'puvre-that is, a side
dish or table superiluity. But it is
far otherwise with the poor in the
south of Europe to whom it is an i'm
portant article of diet. In ancient
times the poor made an entire meal
of bread and olives. 1t is still the
same in some parts of Europe, where
a peasant thinks himselfprepared for
journey with a piece of bread under
his arm and a handful of olives in
his pocket. In southern Italy no
meal is made without olives. The
olive merchants pass regularly at
supper time through the poorer quar-
ters of the city.
1t is the Spanish habit to eat olives
at the end of a meal, but not too
many. Three or four are usually
thought enough, or if they are very
good one may eat dozen. An Ital-
ian author recommends the preserv-
ing of Spanish olives-that is, of
those grown on italian soil-but pre-
fers those called st. Francis, which
is common at Ascoli, where itattains
the size of walnut. 1t is, however,
generally ageed among gourments
that the smaller olives are best for
eating. The manner of treatment
has, nevertheless, perhaps something
to do with the coarse quality of the
Spanish olive when found in the Pc
ninsula. Olives are preserved in
Italy, as elsewhere, in weak lye or
brine. They are also bruised, stuff
ed in the Bordeaux manner or
dried.
In eastern countries, whence the
olive came, the fruit forms still an
important article of diet. A traveller
relates that he found delicious meal
of eggs, olives and grapes offered:
him by the monks Of the monastery
of Mount Libanus. 1t is traditional
in the Catholic church that the monks
living in the desert fed principally
on olives. Throughout Turkey, Asia
Minor, Greece and other countries
about the Mediterranean the olive
has remained, as in most ancient
times, a substantial article of food
and necessary means of existence
to the toiling millions.-C0r. San
Francisco Chronicle.

BOOK FOUR.
LADY BEAUTY'S CHOICE
CHAPTER I.

"THE SPIDER AND THE FLY"
In one Of the passages Of his narrative, my
old friend, when speaking Of "Prendergast,"
uttered the pronoun a." As this escaped his
lips he tried to catch back his word, and red
dened little. The secret was out, Of course;
but seeing his confusion, I affected not to
have noticed anything. This artiace, how
ever, did not deceive him, and heimmediately
told me that he was himself the Prendergast
Of the story, and an old lover Of Sophia
Temple. I have thought it well to inform my
reader of this fact; but, for convenience Of
narration, I shall continue to describe "Pren-
dergast" as he originally appeared in the tale.
To introduce him afresh, speaking in the first
person singular, would, 1 find, embarrass
both writer and reader.]
Greatly was Mrs. Barbara Temple disap-
pointed when the day came for leaving Paris,
and still Prendergast had made no further
sign. What could it mean! He was the last
man in the world to play the coquetts mas
culine; and it was plain that he had assumed
the Irritation posture toward Sophia in his
sober sort of way Why advance SO far, and
then stand still2 Mrs Barbara Temple pom
dered Then cries she to herself: II have hit
itln Her explanation was this: Sophia had
quietly signifed to Prendergast, by one Of
those tokens with which loves intercourse
abounds, that she loved him not. And he,
retiring, and even difAdent, had taken the
hint submissively.
"Very provoking Of Sophy!" the little
woman said. "Very provoking, indeed! If
it would do any good should lose my temper
with her. But it would not do good-not yet.
Prendergast was just the man for her. am
angry; but will keep my temper"
And she had her reward. To her great JOY,
no sooner had they returned to Kettlewel
than Prendergast appeared on the scene
again, and his attitude toward Sophia had
not shifted by hairs breadth. Evidently,
then, Sophia had not repulsed him after all.
GLOW fortunate I did not get into pas
sion!n the ruler Of her spirit remarked to
herself. ut is a good maxim: Never be
really angry; don't even seem to be angry
often. / should have had Sophy crying, and
set her against Prendergast for life, and all
on account of my own hasty judgment"
Prendergasts coming to Kettlewell was in
marked way. He did not stay with any
body, but put up at the hotel; and, when no
called on the Temples, he said that he had
run over for a few days, in the hope OF in
creasing the pleasant acquaintance with
themselves.
Mrs. Barbara Temple beamed or him one
of her brightest looks.
"You speak of your pleasure in renewing
the acquaintance" she said. "You say
nothing about ours. I can never forget all
your attention to us in Paris. And what q
pleasant time that was!"
Part of my visit to Paris" he remarked
significantly, II enjoyed more than anything
in my life"

AN ALASKA FOREST.

Wandering around near camp was
struck with astonishment at the great size
of the trees of the forest into which we
had crept. Within twenty feet of our
campfire were two trees, one of which
measured twelve feet, seven inches and
the other seventeen feet in circumference
at the height of PERSONS arm from the
ground. The latter had its thick, shaggy
bark stripped off nearly to the ground,
being dead tree, and thus losing much
in its measurement. About thirty yards
from camp was a tree that gave twenty
one feet in circumference at about six feet
from the ground. The most astonishing
part was that such forest should be
found actually surrounded by ice ten to
twenty miles across in every direction.
OF course it is reasonable to suppose that
