Now, he thought, certainly must be near
the golden castle. As he rode on admiring
the beauties about him, he saw approaching
him group of fair, graceful maidens, who
paused before him and sang q song Of vel

"Am near the golden castle?'' asked
Otto.
'oh, no." they sighed, set is far, far from

ney:" Stay with u.s." said one, holding
forth jewelled crown, "here are sweet
flowers and rare fruits. Stay with US, and
you will be happy"
"No, no." cried the boy, ''I cannot stay; 1
am going to the golden castle"
At these words the maidens disappeared,
and Otto was once more alone in the wild
forest.
"Hs, ha," laughed the old witch, again
peering through the trees. But Otto kept
steadily on, and at last was rewarded BY
seeing the golden castle cleaning in the
light of the setting sun, Hastily mounting

Breaking a Boys VIII.

Mr. Moody tells of little nephew whom
he watched one day while he and his mother
were passing through one of those crucial
moments which decide child's character as
obedient or disobedient The little fellow
had taken Bible from the table and thrown
it on the floor. His mother said: "Go, and
pick up uncle's Bible" He said he didn't
want to.
81 did not ask you whether you wanted to
or not; go and pick it upi''
ST won'tP'
"Why, Charley" said his mother, "who
taught you that naughty word? 1 never
heard you speak so before. If you don't go
and pick up uncle's Bible I shall punish
you"
Still he declared he wouldn't do it, and
she repeated her threat of punishment, add
ing that he should have to pick it up, too.
He then declared that he couldn't, looking
at it as if he would like to, but really some
how thought he could not; even getting
down on the floor, and, with both his arms
around the book, seeming to try, but still
persisted that he couldn't" Again the
mother repeated sternly and inexorably her
threat of punishment and that he would
''have to pick it up, too" At last she broke
the boys will, and the minute that was done
he picked up that book as easily as possible
81 felt very much interested" was Mr..
Moody Is comment, "for knew that if she
didn't break his will he would break her
heart"

The unsrticulating actor has greatmany
poor jokes played on him by his sordid
managers and INSCRIPTIONS fellow profess
sionals. W. w. Kelly, the American mana
ger of Grace Hawthorne and the Princess
Theater in London, derives much pleasure
from the relation of this anecdote about the
dog that played the dogs part in the ''Still
Alarm" in London:
The canine player soon became such a
favorite that his fellows taught him to
drink mountain dew. Not being accus-
toned to whisky as a beverage, having only
recently gone on the stage, the poor dog fell
into the habit of delirium tremens, and the
first thing he saw-above all things-was a
ratl The natural sntipathy of the dog to
rats, even imaginary rats, was so excited
and exaggerated by he,whisky that the
company was soon minus one of its best
members. The dog ran himself to death
trying to catch the rodents which existed
nowhere save in his own fevered imagina-
ton.

gate giant who threatened to strike him
if he came a step nearer. Otto needed not
his threats, but drew his sword, at the sight
of which the giant fed, and the brave boy
entered the caste unharmed. He stood q
moment in the large hail wondering where
he should find the beautiful Rosalind, when
a door opened and the Princess herself ap-
peared. Otto knew her at once by her won
dsrful beauty and cried: Fair Princess, I

The Princess wept tears of joy, and after
than king her brave deliverer, said: '"Take
me to my father and mother who still grleve
for their lost child. Since you have passed
through the forest the enchanter has no
longer any power"
Tkey mounted Otto's horse. and we're soon
speeding over the country, and in a short

FruitIess Efforts To Get Up a Swearing
Match In California.

FruitIess Efforts To Get Up a Swearing
Match In California.
New York Tribune.l
One of the hardest cases ever knew was
old ''Buck" Wright, who lived in a log
cabin 20 miles west of Paso Robles, Cal.
He was called "the worst man in all San
Luis Obispo county to cuss right out loud
when things went wrong" Old Faxon
down at Ballard's was called the worst man
in all Santa Barbara county to do
the same thing. Wright had been q
negrO-driver down South before the war;
Faxon had been bull-puncher over in Ne
vada. Some fellows had heard one of them
swear and some had heard the other; but
nobody around San Luis had heard both oi
them. So the boys wanted match, and put
up 500. First, they tried to get Faxon to
climb into O wagon they had, and 90 to Paso
Robles to meet Wright. But he
said it was q dry summer, and
grass was scarce; he hadn't no call
to burn up all the cattle TODD. Then
we told that to Wright and asked him to 90
with us to Billiards. where Faxon lived, and
Wright answered that he couldn't swear
worth cent outside his own county. But
folks that had known him since he was q
snipe of q boy in Missouri told us be was too
modest on that point. Then the boys raised
the size of the purse, and it was finally
agreed to have a match on the county line,
but lust before the details were settled old
Faxon died.
Z When Wright came to the county he took
a schooner at San Francisco to sail down the
coast, q weeks voyage. to Cayucas. The
first day he took seasick. and he swore so
badly that the sailors asked the captain to
put back or they would have storms. and,
sure enough, headwinds began the very
next day, and they beat up and down the
coast for two weeks. Wright's remarks
grew worse every DAY, till at last the cap
tain hauled in at the mouth of the Salinas,
and landed him, ''bag and baggage" 100
miles north of his port Wright walked
the rest of the way. That was where he got
the fine touches of hisswearing in perfection.
He came into Paso Robles baretooted. The
schooner? San Luis people say she was
never heard of afterward.

ELECTRICITY FROM TIE MIND.

Mental Activity Found TO Produce Currents
of Varying Intensity.
Newcastle, Eng, Chronicle.J
Herr Tarchenoff has lately been demons
trating what has often been theoretically
advanced-that mental excitation is capable
of promoting electricity in the human frame
and in Pfuger's Archive be gives an ac-
count of his experiments and observations
Various persons of different habits and tenn
peraments were operated upon, the method
adopted being the application to the hands,
fingers, feet, toes, nose, and ear Of unpolar-
liable clay-electrodes connected with deli
cate galvanometer. Compensation for cur
rents that occurred during rest having been
allowed for in each case the effects Of mental
stimulation were carefully noted. Some Of
the results were curious.
When the electrodes were on hand or arm
slight voluntary movement, such as the
contraction of o toe, or the conveyance of
the eyes, gave strong current; while in the
case of a person in tense expectation the
current was very Irregular Mental effort
produced currents varying with its amount.
For instance, the multiplication of small
figures caused scarcely any perceptible de-
Election of the galvanometer, while, on the
other hand, intricate calculations produced
an exceedingly strong one. Bodily sensa-
tions also produced currents. Light tick
ling produced gradually increasing strong
DETECTION, and, while the application of hot
water to the skin had like effect the i'm
mersion of the hand in cold water, or Che
pain from the prick of needle, yielded
only feeble currents
Skin-currents also occurred from merely
imaginary sensations. For instance, if q
person Vividly imagines himself to he suffer-
ing from intense heat, there is strong cur
rent from the skin, which diminishes very
sensibly when the idea OF cold is substituted
for heat. In all the experiments it appears
that with equal nerve excltation the strength
of the skin currents depended on the degree
to which the part of the skin bearing the
electrodes was furnished with sweat glands,
and Herr Tarchenof considers that the
course of nearly every kind of nerve activity
is accompanied by increased action Of the
skin glands.

and brave-that he might rescue her. Be
fore Otto was ID wears old he could ride and
also handle his sword as well as the master
who taught him. He feared no danger, and
even wished for war, that he might show his
bravery. One day when he was riding
through the country, and thinking twas
now time for him to go in quest of the en-
chanted Princess, he saw standing before
him an old man in q gray coat, who said:
"Do not speak to me or ask me any ques-
TONS but listen carefully to all that 1 say
to you. know your thoughts, and that
YOU wish to release the beautiful Princess
Rosalind. She still resides in the golden
castle, and hopes for deliverance. Many
have tried to rescue her, but none have been
successful If sou wish to make the at
tempt, do as I tell you. You must ride on
this road all day and night When to-
morrow comes you will find yourself on the
border of the enchanted forest. Here you
will discover a narrow path. Turn neither
70 the right nor the left, but ride directly
though the forest, and you will at last reach
the golden castle. You will encounter dan
gers on the way. but if you are brave and
fear not You will overcome them"
The old man then disappeared, and Otto
rubbed his eyes, wondering if he were really
awake or only dreaming. 'I shall test the
old mans advice" he Thought "for fear
nothing, and what joy it would be to re-
store the Princess to her parents" Think
ing such happy thoughts Otto rode on all
day, and when night came be did not stop
to rest, but continued his way till the morn
ing dawned. He then stopped before q
mighty forest, which, by the giant trees and
dense underground, he knew to be the
Black Forest. He discovered the narrow
path living among the dark shades, and was
about to enter, when suddenly from behind
a tree stepped hideous old woman wearing
a red dress and having black cloth bound
around her head. Her eyes were red, and
shone like Goals of fire, and her long hooked

Thoughts on DeuomInatiouuTIsm.

The subject ofdenominationalism is being
discussed in the religious journals. Denomi-
nationalism is all right, provided it be kept
within the limits of charity A generous
rivalry does no harm-the rivalry of faith
and good works. Moreover, each denomi-
nation sets forth in distinctive way some
more or less essential features of the truth.
No one has it all, but each types some
phase which is needful to the symmetry of
truth. It is only by correlating and dove
failing together the representative denomi-
nations that we get the whole truth. Truth
is a wheel, of which the respective denomi-
nations are the spokes. One spoke doesn't
make wheel-it takes all. But the trouble
is that the various spokes are apt to forget
their mutual dependence, and to set upon
each one as being the entire wheel
