WASHINGTON, d. g., Nov. 20.-The
sale Of the personal effects of Lord Sack
Vile continued today at the British lega-
ton. The big ball room was packed and
the bidding was lively. 1t is evidently
Sackville's intention to take nothing to
England with him that he can dispose of.
All articles brought more than they were
worth. Little t%rities, German favors and
other little articles more Of the nature of
souvenirs than anything elee went off at
prices greater than the original cost.

Our Sanity Never Secure.

Each mind feels q certain wave Of IN
happiness when it looks in upon itself
and marks how many wheels must be in
perfect order to secure what is called
sanity. In such moments of introspec-
ton the thought comes that not only is
the thinker crazy, but all men and women
are not little crazy; that perfect sense
is impossible. A professor in Chicago
college walked into canal in broad day
light. He was thinking of something else
than the canal and Of his good black suit
of clothes He enjoyed his scientific rev.
erie, but he got wet. He had to retire to
his home and change the external wrap
pings of his wise, pompous soul. The
man who was telling this story of the
unfortunate professor walked out of a
railway car at the next station and left
bis valise in the rack to 60 on and on and
never to be found Thus, while the canal
wet the clothes of one rational being, the
railway carried away all the clean shirts
Of another. A third man got off at the
first station to wait for the next train to
bring him his railway ticket and his
bunch of keys. In an hour the ticket and
keys came, but his big valise had been
left behind and the trunk was not locked.
The persons designated as insane are a
little less rational than the average, but
in each person in the circle of nations
there is going on perpetual struggle be-
tween what is called the vital principle
and the millions of atoms-the atoms
being liable to stampede like herd Of
wild cattie.-Professor David Swing in
Chicago Journal.
Wichita eagle., 1888-09-08


The s. - herself which q cat
shows wien. Ing been caught in POI
sition from which there is no escape, she
calmly sits down to face out the threats
Of dog, is g marvellous thing. Every
body has seen kitten on street door
step attacked by dog ten times her SIZE,
as apparently self possessed as II she were
in her mistress lap. If she turns tail and
runs down the street she is lost; the dog
will have sure advantage OF her. Even
as it is, if he could get up courage enough
to seize her on the spot he would be able
to make short work of her. 1t is q case
of life and death; but the whole air and
attitude of the cat is one of pure and con-
fdent brayado. You dare not touch me,
and you know it," is what her position
tells the dog.
But she is intensely on her guard, in
spite Of her air of perfect content. Her
legs, concealed under her fur, are ready
for spring; her claws are unsheathed,
her eyes never move for an instant from
the dog; as he bounds wildly from side to
side, barking with corlical fury, those
glittering eyes of hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. If he plucks up his
courage to grab her, she Is ready; she viii
sell her life dearly. She is watching her
chance, and she does not miss it. The dog
tries Fabian tactics, and withdraws few
feet, settling down upon his forepaws,
growing ferociously as he does so. Just
then the sound of dogs bark in the next
street attracts his eyes and ears for
moment; and when he looks back the kit
tents gonel He looks down the street
and starts wildly in that direction, and
reaches high board fence just as cats
tsl-a monstrous tail for such little
cats vanishing over the top Of it. He
is beaten; the cat showed not only more
courage than he had, but great deal
ndre generalship. - Boston Transcript

TIE Dolls of Sayares.

The Sitka girls have dolls of leather;
black. greasy looking creatures, regret
to say. with beads for eyes and mouth.
and dresses of fur. They have also a
poorer doll, of clay. with the nose formed,
when tho clay was soft, BY the summary
process of good pinch in the face. and a
lavish display Of beads made by small
punches in the same soft material. The
dress Of these Sitka babies is simple-a
piece Of coarse Indian cloth wound around
the body and tied on with q rag.
Another leather doll belongs TO the lit
tie Micmac girl. This is finer than the
last named. however, for the leather is
light colored; and it has nose not
pinched up IN front, but punched cut
from behind. and held In shape by some
thing hard. 1t has black beads for eyes,
and mouth and eyebrows Of black paint.
In dress it is quite grand: moccasins,
leggins and calico gown. with a liberal
amount of bead trimmings and necklaces.
The small Sioux maiden also has doll Of
leather. black, and with beads for eyes
and mouth.-Olive Thorne Miller in St
Nicholas.

Superstitions of South Africans

The Bantu have no definite idea of the
mode of existence Of their deities, but the
southern tribes suppose them to inhabit
dim, underground caverns. They regard
the unseen world in which they believe
with unming:ed dread, and drive rehec-
ton concerning it from their thoughts
whenever it is possible to do SO. Before
their intercourse with white men it had
never struck them that the acts of this
life could have any effect upon the spirit
after death. They are in no sense an i'm
aginative or speculative people. but direct
their entire attention to such material
objects as Immediately affect their well
fare. In such O condition, progress
toward q higher kind of life, unless d.
rected by some external agency, is nearly
impossible. In other words, self develop
ment must be very slow process, if it
can be accomplished at all. For. first,
their greatest dread is that of offending
the spirits of their ancestors, and they
hold that any departure from established
customs will assuredly do this, and there
fore bring evil upon them.
Next, their belief in witchcraft is op-
posed to progress of any kind. For
man who is not chief, and who differs
from his fellows by being mentally in ad-
'duCo Va tueil, uleFlldOiy UTdWS suS-
picion on himself OF being O wizard, and,
where there is no foreign controlling
power, surely falls victim to their fury.
The belief in witchcraft is to this day the
cause Of terrible amount of suffering
among the tribes that are independent.
All events that cannot be readily COM
prehended-sickness in man, murrain in
cattle, blight in crops, even casual acct
dents-are Oy them attributed to the
agency Of wizards and witches, and not
the slightest compassion is felt for any
unfortunate wretch whom the recognized
witch finder Of the community points out
es guilty. Confscation Of property, tor
ture, death are the penalties of being
charged with this ideal offense. 1t is be-
lieved that one man can bewitch another
by means Of any such thing as few hairs
from his head. a clipping of finger nail,
q piece of clothing, or indeed anything
whatever that belongs to him or can be
brought into contact with him, or can be
concealed In or about his hut.-"History
of the Beers in South Africa"

CLAIMED the man on the balcony. ""Fhey
shall not touch you while am here'
She did not recognize him, nor under
stand all he said, and he pushed her some
what roughly back into the room. There
was scattering volley from the mob, a
fall upon the balcony floor, and then Off
GERS on horseback dashed up and ordered
the mob to dispense. They had some
Communist troops to back up their orders,
and in a short time the street was quiet
and deserted.
The wounded Garde Mobile had been
carried off by his comrades. There was
no sign of the recent attack, except on the
balcony where the roses used to bloom.
Something red was dabbled about on the
stones next day when the sunlight came,
red as the flowers had been.
Once more the shutters opened, and the
pallid faceo Miss Mascom appeared. eau
tiously she stepped forth. Her foot struck
something soft and she screamed.
What is it. Virginia." asked weak,
terrified voice. Have they come back?"
mol" answered Virginia in horror.
Its that awful cabman again. I knew
be was Communist. told you SO the
first day l saw him; and, OIL mammal
they've shot him out on the balcony, he's
dead. and yet he seemed to look up at me
and smile. 1t is all so horrible. Perhaps
it's best that he's killed. Oh, wish we
were home again and out Of this awful
place"
And for the third time she shuddered
because of Baptiste. and yet he was dead,
out there where he had guarded Virginia's
roses.

heard the story.-Parker L. Walter in

MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS,

The cherub day behind the skirts OF night
Peeps laughing DER the hills, and glances
through
The darkness and the shroudine rnists Of blue;
And soon the mountains are aglow with light.
Here is rocky steep, whose sun brown height
Is clothed in green Of many q varied hue;
There, in the deep ravine, bursts on the view
A sea of fog with pillows foaming white.
The soft leaves rustic family; everywhere
The joyous waking from the darkness brings
a subtle stir Of morning In the air;
With noisy nuttering Of little wings,
From out the chaparral a songster springs,
And grcets with rapturous notes the daylight fair.

Suggestion for Railway Companies.

The Boston Transcript wants to know
why railway companies do not hang up IN
several prominent places in stations a
plainly printed list of fares to different
places This would save great deal Of
time, as many passengers could have the
exact amount of money ready. In fact,
IN large stations like those in this city, a
money changing Office in addition to the
ticket Office might be established, so that
people could provide themselves with the
exact change If ther did not have it,

Poison of Expired Air.

Recently two distinguished French
physicians, Brown Sequard and D'Arson-
val, have been experimenting, and have
obtained results which are thought to
prove that expired air contains another
poison, additional to those of carbonic acid
and ammonia, to which mainly the danger
Gus nature Of expired air must be re-
ferred. The exact nature Of this poison
has not yet been ascertained, but the ex-
periments cannot be due either to carbonic
acid or to ammonia
By passing expired air, whether Of
human beings or of animals, through
water, solution was obtained which, in
jected into the veins of animals, invar-
ably gave rise to the same symptoms-a
slower breath, a rapid lowering Of the
temperature, considerable paralytic
weakness, especially of the hinder limbs,
and, after three or four days, q morbid
activity Of the heart.
Larger injections induced excessive con-
traction of the pupils, increased paralysis,
and diarrhea. something like that Of
cholera The eminent surgeons who con-
Quoted these experiments are disposed to
regard pulmonary consumption as largely
due to this poison. If future experiments
should establish this view, it must greatly
emphasize the supreme Importance Of
thorough ventilation in our homes and
churches and all places for public gather
ings.-Youth's Companion.
