Mysterious region, where the present frame

Spreads, as red moon ray DER plains of snow.
Upon which birch trees lean across the tracks
Where wolves are wont to race in famished

The Silent Land, broad domain, so still
That its deep quiet gives the heart thrill.
As when night fowls sail by noiseless wing,
thrill such no sound hath power to bring.
The Silent Land, which stretches on and on,
Dim outlined as the mist-yailed hills of dawn;
Vistas where human vision feebly gropes
Midst the long cypress boughs that gloom the

Are these which play about the portal shafts,
Chilling the white-lipped wanderers who wait
To pass the boundary of the unknown State?

KleptOmanla is an evil familiar to all, and
it is regarded variously by different shop
keepers. Those who profess to have con.
fdence in medical science, or who possess
charitable natures, frankly avow their be-
lief in the theory that kIeptomania is a dis.
ease of the mind which its victims can not
resist or throw off. To such kindly disposed
merchants kleptomaniacs are objects of pity
and tender consideration; but to another
class OF merchants they are simply provoca.
tive of wrath. It is generally conceded that
kleptomania is a standing complaint, which
is constantly manifesting itself in moder.
ate degree. It does not appear to increase
or decrease, but remains about the same
from year to year.
here - they said to me at one store, s'whom
we know to be q kleptomaniac. She is well
known by all our clerks, and the bill of the
goods she takes is sent to her family, who
pay it without a question"
Some of the people afflicted with this dis
ease are women, but occasionally men who
are able to show that they move IN respect
able society are caught stealing. Instances
are narrated where men of wealth and high
social prominence have been detected con-
oealing about their persons articles for
which they could have no possible use. Not
long ago a man was caught in q bungling
attempt to steal couple of cheap cotton
handkerchiefs in q Broadway store. His
gentlemanly appearance and unfeigned agi-
tation when accused of the theft prompted
the managers of the store to invite him
into private room and ask for an explana-
ton. He acknowledged with much chagrin
that he was periodically seized with an un-
comfortable impulse to steal something. He
! insisted that while subject to the mania he
had no realization of where he was, or what
he was stealing. He easily established his
identity as prosperous business man, and
displayed a wellflIed pocket-book. In con-
sequence he was allowed to depart, and no
publicity was given to his case.-N. Y. Mail

/ now some houses, well built and
handsomely furnished. where it is not
pleasant to be even a visitor. Sharp,
angry tones resound through them
from morning till night, and the in
fuence is as contagious as measles.
and much more to be dreaded in a
household. The children catch it. and
it lasts for life-an incurable disease.
A friend has such a neighbor within
hearing of her house when doors and
windows are open, and even Poll Par
rot has caught the tune. and delights
in screaming and scolding. until she
has been sent into the country to inn
prove her habits. Children catch
cross tones quicker than parrots.
Where mother sets the example you
will scarcely hear a pleasant word
among the children in their plays

of such family is always weak and

angry tones never did the heart good,

At five o'clock the northern hillside

all the cadets of duty Chat is, off
military duty. to witness the sea-
coast battery drill by the second class
with section leaders taken from the
first, under the direction of the in
structor of artillery tactics, Lieuten-
ant Galbraith. The battery consists
of two 15-inch smooth-bore guns,
throwing solid shot of $50 pounds
with a charge of forty pounds of pow
der, three 8-inch rifled guns Convert
ed from 1O-inch columbiads by the in
sertion of rifled steel tubes) carrying
a solid shot of $50 pounds with
der, and one 13-inch mortar, throwing
a shell of PIG pounds, with nine
pound firing charge and a bursting
charge just sufficient to blow out the
fuse. The guns are mounted On iron
sea-coast carriages. and the whole
battery is arranged like an ordinary
water battery, as. for instance, for the
defense of West Point against hos
tile feet, no matter whose, coming
down the river, no matter how. The
heavy projectiles for the larger guns,
it is hardly necessary to say,
have to be handled by mechanical
means. The popular interest in
a drill like this seems to center in the
noise of the big guns and the distant
crash and dust of the big projectiles
as they hit. or do not hit, the white
target on the mountain side, just
under and in front of Crows Nest; yet
there is nothing more instructive in
the whole range of tactics. It is all
hard work and ''means business" The
cadets handle the big guns with ease.

firing them first by piece and then by

timed as a volley of musketry. The
practice, too, was good, considering
the range, which was 2, 100 yards.
many shots striking the target and
all seeming to come somewhere near
it. The five solid shot of the final
vo,ley appeared to hit the target
simultaneously, though, of course. at
that distance no one but the observer
at the telescope could distinguish the
effect with any accuracy. In revenge
for so much perfection. perhaps, one
shell from the mortar seemed to have
gone over the mountain and exploded.
But this is a way that mortars have.
