From the Buffalo Courier.

"Rachel, you sob in vain. Never
again shall the young man darken the
doors of this palatial dwelling. A mon
ster in human form, who will go to church
in his bicycle pants, and add to the pro-
that attire, can never be a fit companion
for my daughter. Go to your chamber,
Rachel, and try to forget him, and may
take you to the circus in leafy August"
A shudder shook the young girls
frame, and with moan she crept from the
room. "And must we then be wrenched
apart 2" she asked of the serene moon
three hours later. Must Eugenio's life
and mine pursue different destinies :?
Must I glide swiftly down the gloomy,
turbid tide of baffied hope, thwarted love
and unrequited trustfulness to the ocean
of despair ?"
A shrill sound smote upon her ear. /.
came nearer. She saw the pale moonlight
CLINT against the wan metal.
"Hist +"
"Ssh !"
Darling +"
Eugenlo !"
Come, fly with me ;"
Oh, Eugenlo :"
There's not a moment to lose; yon
bright moon will soon sink into the bosom
OF the mere; haste, then, darling
Rachel !"
Shall bring trunk ("
Heavens, no, my angel | have only
nay tandem here; bring shawl strap )"
The whispered words smote upon the
vibrant air and made the lucent moon
beams culver in weird ecstasy. In ten
minutes the beautiful creature was pre-
pared. She put her golden head out Of
the window and the moonbeams made an
aureola round her crown. 8 Eugenio,"
she said in whisper like the dying ca
dences of an 1Eolian harp, "shall / slide
down the water spout or 90 down the
stairs 2"
" Are the stairs clear, love-"
" Yes, but
"Then come down the stairs why the
water spout t."
=" 1t would be so romantic, Eugenio."
ooh, that's all right, Rachel we will
write your father that you climbed out
the window. Come -
A moment later the door of the mansion
opened, the girl tripped down the marble
stairs, fastened her shawl strap on the
machine, and an instant later the be
trothed had lcaped on the tandem bicycle
and We're fast speeding toward the dawr
and Clarence, where Eugene had ordered
the wedding breakfast"

1t has often been said that the in
dustrious newsboy, though shoeless
and poorly clad, has in him the max
ing of the successful business
man. An incident which occurred
on La Sale street the other
night was n potent argument in
favor of this assertion. Near the cor
ner of Washington street big bully
picked a quarrel with asmall but wiry
newsboy. The latter was not looking
for a fight, but he responded nobly to
the call and was furnishing the big fell
a crowd Of his friends who would
have gladly rushed to his assistance
had he appeared to be getting any the
worst Of it, when up ratified the pa
troll wagon. OF curse the officers
took the wrong man, and the valiant
gamin was hustled into the wagon in
short order. Then it was hat his
business instinct asserted itself. AS
the wagon started off he singled his
partner" out in the crowd of boys
and yelled instructions to him as to
the proper care of his route the next
morning. His faithful associate ran
along with the wagon for a block or
two, making a mental note of the
''reg'lar customers" referred to by his
unfortunate friend, and the instruc-
tons given were carried out to the let
ter. A newsboy who thinks SO much
of his business and his newspaper
route in the face Of such a misfortune
as a ride In the patrol wagon Is bound
TO make his mark In the world sooner
or later. Chicago Herald.

-PhotogrnphIng stars.

When we place in the focus Of the
telescope a highly sensitive photo
graphic plate, the vibrations of the
rays Of light throw themselves assidu-
ously on the plate and steadily apply
to the task of shaking asunder the
molecules of silver salts in the gela-
tine film. Just as the waves of ocean
by necessarily beating against q shore
will gradually wear away the might
lest cliffs of the toughest rock, so the
innumerable millions of waves of
light persistently impinging upon a
single point of the plate will at length
effect the necessary decomposition and
so engrave the image Of the star. 1t
will be obvious hat this process will
DO the more complete the longer the
exposure which is permitted, and thus
we see one of the reasons why pho
Biography forms such an admirable
method for depicting the stars. We
IA give exposers Of many minutes,
or Of one, two, three, or ever four
hours; and all the time the effect is
being gradually accumulated. Hence
it is that a star which is altogether too
feeble TO produce an impression upon
the most acute eye fortified by q tele-
scope of the utmost power, may yet be
competent, when a sufficient expos
ure has been allowed, to leave its re-
cord on the plate. Thus it is that pho
tographs of the heavens disclose to us
the existence of myriads of stars which
could never have been detected except
for this cumulative method of obser-
walton that photography is competent
to observation-disclosures Magazine.

The brain has generally been regarded
as n part of our organization which lies
entirely outside tho sphere Of operative
interference by the surgeon. 1t Is not
generally known hat the matter of the
brain itself is n~on-sensitive, and that
persons have recovered from severe in
juries of the head in which several
ounces of brain matter havo actually
been lost. Professor Ferrier, in n recent
address on the functions of the brain,
points out the interesting TACT Ito which,
1t may DO added, surgery itself has been
leading up) that in the near future it will
be justifiable enough for surgeons to at
tempt to cure certain brain affections by
the actual handling and examination of
the great center of the nervous system.
Such n view of matters certainly fore
casts n veritablo triumph of the healing
art, for it need hardly be said hat there
are no cases in face of which medicine
stands moro hopelessly than many forms
of brain disease. Today operations are
successfully performed which but q few
years ago were regarded as essentially
fatal In their nature. 1t Is not too much
to predict that brain surgery will form u
department of tho medical art of the
future from which great things may be
hoped for in tho interest of suffering hu-

The real test of the manner and morals
Of a nation is not by comparison with
other nations, bit with itself. 1t must be
judged by the historical, not by the topo-
graphical standard. Does it develop? and
how2 Manners, like morals, are an affair
Of evolution, and must often be n native
product, a wholly indigenous thing. This
Is h case, for instance, with the habitual
American courtesy to women in travel
ing-a thing unparalleled in any Euro
Pean country, and of which, even in this
country, Howells finds his best type in
the Californian. What takes the place
of 1t among the Latin races is the courtesy
of the high bred gentleman toward the
lady who is his social equal-which Is a
wholly different thing. A similar point
Of evolutioni in this country is the decorum
of a public assembly. 1t Is known that
at the early town meetings In New Eng
land men sat with their hats on, us in
England. Un~consciously, by q simple
evolution of good manners, the habit has
been outgrown In America, but parlia-
ment still retains it.
Many good results may have followed
imperceptibly from this same tendency
TO decorum. Thus Mr.. Bryce points out
that the forclble interruption of a public
meeting by the opposite party, although
very common in England, Is very rare in
America. In general, with us, usages are
moro flexible, moro adaptive; in public
meetings, for instance, we get rid of a
great many things that are unutterably
tedious, MS the English practice of NOV
ing, seconding and debating the pre-
scribed vote of thanks to the presiding
officer at the end of the most insignih-
cant gathering. 1t is very likely that
even our incessant self criticism con
tributes toward this gradual ameliora-
ton of habits. In that case the wonder
is that our English cousins, who c%riticiso
themselves quite us necessarily, move 20
slowly.-Harper's Bazaar.

A Largo

The longest pendulum on this continent
swings In the archaeological school at
Atlanta. 1t is n heavy pear shaped piece
of iron attached to n brass wire forty
two feet long. The upper end of the
wire Is pivoted in a steel plate so as to
cause the least possible friction. Tho
swinging of the pendulum gradually de
scribes n circle on the floor in u direction
following tho sun, showing in this that
''the earth do move"
Directly under tho pendulum is n large
circle divided into twenty-four parts, of
fifteen degrees each, TO correspond with
the hours of the day. The north pole is
placed directly under the pendulum and
tho meridians of longitude meet there.
The parallels of latitude make smaller
circles inside the first.
DIR. ]. s. Hopkins, president of the
school, who made and put up the pendu-
lum, performs the experiment as follows:
The iron Is brought to the edge of the
circle in the meridian of Atlanta and let
swing across. Apparently it goes straight
across, but gradually 1t traverses the
circle in the direction taken by the sun
and opposite to tho revolution of the
earth. The pendulum not being directly
over the axis of the earth, does not move
In exactly the same timo n the sun, but
falls behind some hours n day. 1t is said
that il 1t were Mt the north pole, where
it would be Immediately over the axis, it
would ~traverse the circle in exactly
twenty-four hours, and at the equator 1t
would not traverse it Mt all, for gravity
would operate to prevent.-Atlanta (Ga-)

Cloth Made of Glass

Ever since its invention glass has been
found to be available for numerous pur.
poses n a decorative material, but II
was reserved for modern ingenuity to
conceive and carry out the idea of weav
ing it into cloth. Not long since q
Frenchman of IN inventive turn OF
mind discovered hat it was possible tc
make a kind of cloth from glass, OF
rather from glass and silk, tho latter
forming the warp and the former the
wool. The process of weaving is very
slow, and of curse tho product is ex
pensive, but not more SO than other fan
cies in decorative novelties in which
wealthy people indulge themselves. AS
the pattern of the material is worked In
the glass, which may be Of any color or
variety of colors desired, its brilliancy
may readily be imagined.-New York

WINGED FEET.

Heavily trample steeds OF war,
Which shake the earth with their tread;
GRrshaling hosts are heard afar
And Ill the nations with dread;
But through the din are, soft and leet
Eolselessly moving winged feet
Ruthlessly crowds surge 70 and fro
With conflict tumult and strife;
Merrfly others come n go
In all the revels of life;
But here and there we nance to meet
EoLselessly moving winged feet
They may not be In stately hall
With gilded trappings around,
Nor yet In mansions great and tall,
Where wealth and comforts abound
More OFT we find In lane and street
EoLse,essly moving winged feet
Quiet ns comes the morning light
Which brings the beautiful day;
Softly as falls the shades Of night
Our cares to Danish away;
So come sometimes to lone retreat
Hoiselessly moving winged feet
Lightly they climb the garnet stair.
Enter the cottager's door,
Bringing relief against despair,
Enriching homes of the poor. "
Welcome these give, with joy replete;
Hotselessly moving winged feet
Charity maketh no display;
No sound of trumpet It brings;
Light are its tasks, be what they may.
Burdens to 1T are as wings;
Heaven n Garth conspire to greet
Noiselessly moving winged feet.

Man Is What Woman Has Made Him.

Prof. G. V. Riley, formerly State
Entomologist for Missouri, and now
Entomologist of the Department of
Agriculture, created a sensation a. a
club meeting in st. Louis, not long
since. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, NJ SIS
Phoebe Couzins, and Belva Lockwood
were among the ladies present The
subject of discussion was sexual equal
ity from a scientific standpoint. Prof.
Riley showed how the male, at first in
significant and latter creation, had
developed and grown to o position of
equality by the side Of his female part
ner; how this had resulted from nat
ural and especially sexual selection,
the female always choosing for her
companion the handsomest and strong
est; how the female of some species
is 10000 times larger than the male,
and how, in other cases, he is a mere
minute parasite, whom she carries
about rs part of her baggage; how
somg female spiders are hundreds of
times larger than the males, and how
my lady Archnidan kills her myriads
of successive husbands, beats them,
ana f1lngS their carcaSSes out into the
back yard; how, under the influence of
preference, the males of mammals and
birds have arisen to physical superior
ity to the females, till the lion is finer
and stronger than the ioness, the bull
larger than the COW, the peacock
adorned with a gorgeous tail with
which to excite the admiration of the
pea hen, and the turkey cock gifted
with self-important strut and AFRO
CANT gobble. The inference was that
what whatever man is he has been
made through millions Of years Of SEX
ual preference by the female of his
own species, and the anthropoid and
other species from which he has
sprung, and that it would be unfair
for him to kick down the ladder by
which he has climbed.
