Could it be possible that such lines and
stories jog the elbows of business Do
such spectres walk their lands of dreams
amid the hurrying throngs, rushing to
trade, to hew, to eat and drink and dance l?
I look with different visions now upon the
streets with its web of Arachne threads of
purpose.
I have framed theory after theory to ac-
count for the mystery. Why did not the
keepers respond to the offers of reward :?
What could they hope for in keeping him :?
How could he have escaped the search
made for him, and how came he to reach
home so opportunely. 1t was incredible:
It was so wrought upon me that l called
upon the chief of the detective agency,
who verified this story.
"We detectives" said he, "see continu-
ally this shady side of the street, of which
you to-day have had a glimpse" He had
no tenabe theory he, too, was batfied at
every turn.
I passed in profound detection from the
presence of Gregory, this gray-haired bro
ken young man, who had thrown over me,
casual listener, the shadow of his pro-
found misery.
Small wonder If he bepsane!

PITY THE Poor WoMAN.-A State street
physician gives it as his opinion that four
fifths of the earnings of his profession are
derived from women, though in this estl'
mate he does not include the very large
and prosperous class of specialists whose
services are required by men only. 1t is
sad commentary upon the morals of the
community, the existence and prosperity
of hundreds of such specialists for men,
and the picture is less encouraging on the
other side, where so many women with
health impaired by foolish dressing, i'm
proper diet and violations of the laws OF
nature, maintain an army of medical prac-
titioners. 1t is only among civilized peo'
pie that women are less healthtul than
men. Let doctors and the common sur
mise tell why this isso. The fact remains
that there may be seen on the streets OF
Chicago twenty strong, handsome men me-
above the age of 80 to one woman. The
woman who is able to retain her youthful
comeliness beyond 80 is the exception
Good looking men of middle, or even ad'
vanced age, are as common as t1agstones
while handsome matron is almost Gu
riOSity.

MEDICINE AS A REAL SCIENCE.-Slnce
medicine became real science, the ten
dency has been more to dispense, as lar ar; as
possible, with indiscriminate dosing. The
first manifestation of this was the homeo-
pathic system. Now the best doctors give
very little medicine, and there is disPo, I%c
sition to dispense with it aitogether. Inc
modern tendency is clearly in the direction
of curing diseases, particularly, those of a
nervous character, wholly without drug
ging, and hence we have the tn faith TT treat, {, At
false and absurd, but they illustrate the
growing grow n.y. conclusion that nature can, almost
in majority of cases, be left safely to her
SELF With good nursing and and some .s,it obvi j.
necessary of her own free will. tits found
that m the majority of people who die at an
advanced age were in the habit Of taking;
very little medicine. The possibilities, SO OF
magnetism, etc., are yet to be- seen. we
are probably just on the threshold. Half
century may show wonders indeed.

OVER DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUS
I,Fs.-"There is a very general mistake
made by men who think that they need
exercise. and that is the over development
Of the muscles. That is just what you do
not want to achieve. The developed mus

Gle, Let the muscles remain SOFT. EXer-
else not to abnormallV increase the MUSCLES
but merely to keep up the health. Wnen
YOU have succeeded, through training ana
handling weights, in making the muscles
hard, corded and knotted, you have injured
yourself. You have, in measure, de-
stroyed the elasticity of the muscles
What man requires is symmetrical de-
velopment, and that may be secured, not
through gymnastic exercises, but through
diet, gentle exercises and developing lne

1.-THE athlete is not a symmetrically de-
yeloped man; he is an example OF aDnor-
NAL DEVELOPMENT. Look at the staue OF
Apollo Belvedere. DO you see any cord,
ed muscles, any stiffened, muscle,bound
limbs? No; you see a model OF human
symmetry, with muscles only discernable
through their rounded contour. You 40
not see great cords in the legs or over the
shoulders. The figure has not the athletes

perceive that the layers of muscles upon

BIRDS LEARNING TO SING.

Most people probably imagine that birds
sing by instinct; that the song OF the ROB-
in IS as natural to him as his red breast ;
that the blue bird is not more liable to
change its note than its color; and that,
untaught, the nightingale will always
sing the same beautiful song.
This common impression, however, is
erroneous. Young birds will never sing
the song peculiar to their tribe if they have
never heard it; but if associated with some
other bird, will learn its song instead. "A
redstart once built its nest under the caves
of house where Gagged chathnch hung
in a window underneath. The redstart
learned the chaffinch's song. Announcer
redstart learned was noticed to repeat the
notes of blackcap which had It's nest
close by.
The winchat and wheatear have naturally
but little variety of notes, but Will become
much better songsters If confined WIN
other birds, and the bullfinch can be taught
to whistle complete tunes, although us
own natural notes are harsh and insigniti-
cant. On the other hand, the nightingale
in confinement will sometimes exchange
its own beautiful song for that OF some
other bird that it may hear. The Hon.
DANES Darlington says that he saw ln-
net which had been taken from the nest
when only two or three days old, and
which, not having any other sounds to I'M,
itate. almost learned to articulate, and
could repeat the words "pretty boy" ana
some other short sentences. He educated
nesting linnets under the three best sing
ing larks-the skylark, woodlark and tit
lark-every one of which, instead OF the
linnet's song, adhered entirely to that OF
their respective instructors. When the
note of the titlark was thoroughly txed,
he hung the linnet, which had learned, IT. IN
a room for three months with two common
linnets which were in full song. Ihe ed,
ucated linnet, however, never borrowed
any passage from the other linnets, out ad-
hered steadfastly to that of the tltlark
which it had learned.
At Knighton, in Radnorshire, he saw
goldfinch which sung exactly IKE wren,
and uttered no proper note OF Its species:
This bird had been taken from the nest
when it was two days old, and was hung
in a window opposite small garden,
where it had, no doubt, heard and learned
the wren's song, having never had the op-
portunity to learn that Of the goldhnch.
Birds taken from the nest two or three
weeks old have already learned the call
notes of their species. These and many
similar facts 20 to prove that birds do not
sing by instinct. They learn their songs
from their parents. If they have no op-
portunity of hearing the song peculiar
to their species, they never sing 1t, but
will learn any other instead; just as an
American child taken to France, when a
few weeks old, would never speak Engllsh
if he never heard it, but would learn 70
speak French.-Popular Science Honth(y.

I was dumb in the presence of such
man and such an august sorrow. The
booming roar of the city's traffic formed
thrilling undertone to that monotonous,
intense voice in which he finished his
story. With bowed head and fearful eyes
pressed his hand and stepped out into
the rushing life of the street.

DIED FROM HIS WOUND.-A few weeks
ago Mr.. +. II. Powell, conductor on the
oxford & Henderson Railroad, had his
hand-satchel stolen from the passenger
coach soon after the train reached the depot
here 1t happened to contain at the time
SI6g and pistol. The money belonged to
Mr. J. f. Burroughs, Of Dabney, for Whom
Mr.. Powell had taken it to express from
this point Being unaccustomed to carry
ing money in that way Mr. 2. laid the
SatChel OH a seat and went out to LOOK al
ter some passengers. Very soon after he
had gone out young mulattO entered the
coach and in the presence Of two drumrIers
picked up tie satchel and left. When
Capt. Powell returned for it he was in
Termed that such thing had been taken
out hy the negro ard be was accurately de-
scrbed. Constable Malone was notified
and the thief was asceTtained TO be one
Billy Lew Spivey. He was not caught.
however, Tuesday he was discovered in
oungsville. An attempt was made to
arrest him when he jumped out of the
second story window Of the house he was
found in and endeavored to escape. The
town constable of the place gave chase and
shot the running rogue The ball entered
the right Of the lower part of the back
and was cut out on the opposite side in the
upper part of the abdomen Just beneath the
lower rib
Spivey was brought here on the 1Oo'clocll
train Tuesday night in charge Of two Off
GERS from Ioungsville. His wound was
examined by Dr.. F. r. Harris and it was
thought best that he be not placed in iail
Nntil morning. He was prescribed for and
a resting place fixed for him in the MAYORS
Office and guard placed over him. Yes
terday he was carried to Jail and early last
evening he died. In the mean time he
made full confession Of his guilt and
told Constable Malone who had certain
portions of the money. Tint officer went
in search Of the parties and succeeded in
capturing one Of them a negro named jim
Squires not far from YounGsville A pre-
liminary hearing before a Justice of the
Peace established his guilt but none of the
money was obtained. Squires is now in
jail at LOuiSburg.
