in the diagram to food must not be under
stood to be wholly occupied with eating and
drinking, but BY the pursuit of food for the
mind, as we'll as for the body.
"The advantage of this diagram is that
from its simplicity 1 can always see it 'in
my minds eye, and as it represents day I
determine early in the morning what viii
do through the day; and associating each
duty resolved upon with one OF the num-
bered sections, the moment my mind reverts
to the diagram. and to any particular num-
Der thereon, am at once reminded of the
duty had resolved to perform.
For instance, suppose resolve to pass
the hours 1. 2, 8, in one uniform business
application, know that during these hours
have nothing on the diagram but business;
my whole and sole attention is therefore ap-
piled to the one pursuit, and I am not
diverted therefrom by a number of unsettled
resolutions. Then follows an hours relaxa-
ton, during which take food aud probably
read for hall an hour. I should identify
with that section on the diagram the book 1
might be in the course of reading at the
time, and, when that hour arrived, the
mental perception of the diagram would as
readily remind me of the book as of the food
or rest was about to take.
"Supposing, during the next hours num-
bered 4, and 6, had a series of duties to
perform, should identity them with those
particular hours or numbers thus: 4. Call
at A BIS and purchase - for
stock. Point out error in previous account.
On to Jennings wharf and ascertain the
cause of delay in delivery of goods. The
mere words A B--'s.' Error and
Jennings associated with that section
would be quite sufficient to remind me of
the matters to be attended to within that
time. The same method may be applied to
any hour and every hour throughout the
day.

TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH J


At one end of the many bends of the
picturesque, castle-bordered Rhein there
projects far out into the water the renowned
Lorelei rocks, whose fame has spread
throughout all lands. Where is the boy or
girl who has neither heard nor sung the
song of the Lorelei? And yet, perhaps,
there are many who have never heard the
sad history of the poor water nymph. and to
them this legend may prove interesting.
Far below the surface OF the waves, where
no being who lives and breathes on the land
can penetrate, stood, in former years, the
magic palace of the Rhein King, whom all
the nymphs, water sprites and fishes, both
great and small, served willingly and with
JOY. The great King was a kind and gen.
erous ruler, and at the time when my story
begins be gave grand festival in honor OF
the birthday of his only daughter, Lorelei.
And now the little Princess, who heretofore
had never been out of her fathers crystal
palace, was permitted to rock herself in the
waves and Join in the nymphs' dance in the
moonlight
At first it seemed that her happiness was
complete, and there was nothing more to be
desired than a summer night on the river
Rhein. But after time the fair face of the
Princess grew clouded; she no longer Joined
in the songs and sports of her companions.
She loved rather to sit on the gray rocks,
towering up in the water like huge giants,
aud gaze, not on the merry frolics of the
nymphs, bus far off into the green fields,
where she longed to wander and to mingle
with the peasant children.
"How much happier, she thought, they
must be in the bright, warm sunshine, than

IT WASN'T A KICKING cow.

Origin of the Fire ut Moor Not Exactly
Like That of the Chicago Fire.
London Daily News.]
How the terrible fire which has destroyed
the village of Moor, in Hungary, originated,
is thus told by our Vienna correspondent:
A farmers wife was ironing in her kitchen,
using fatiron filled with charcoal, when q
spark flew out and set fire to her muslin
dress. In her fright she ran into the court
yard where her husband and his people were
threshing barley. The barley caught fire
from her, and was no sooner ablaze than the
wind blew the sparks in all directions, set
ting fire to the matched roofs of the houses,
which stood in two long rows, forming the
main street. All was so sudden and the
people were so dumfounded that for little
time they could not even call for help.
Most of the heads of families were in the
vineyards, and their help was not available
until they had been recalled by the alarm
bell. The old people aud children in the
houses had not presence of mind enough to
save themselves.
In Hungary it has net rained for long
time, and the wells contained no water, 50
that nothing could be done to save even q
single house. In all 109 houses were de-
stroyed and 134 families are without q roof
above their heads. The harvest was over
and the corn in the barns was consumed in
the general confagratjon, which was a ter
rible spectacle as night came on. Ten
bodies have been found and several children
are missing. Nearly everybody in the
neighborhood is suffering from burns re-
ceived in rescue work.

OLD TIME METHODS.
It's Well Enough to Study the Good

Modern Civilization is Too Dependent Of

LESSON OF THE RECENT STRIKES
WRITTEN ron THE DISPATCH


The suggestion of railroad strikelhas In
it lively interest for all Pittsburgers. 1t
revives "reminiscences; and they in turn
give freedom to forebodings. There is that
in the past which sets people to thinking OF
the possibilities OF the future.
Therefore the readers of newspapers have
felt the air about them somewhat over
charged with electricity of late. New York
and Chicago are q goodly distance apart,
but Pittsburg is between them. With the
lightning flashing from both those centers
of disturbance Pittsburg was very likely to
at least hear the thunder. Fortunately
there has not been much damage done any
where yet. But there has been a good deal
Of heat lightning. and much hollow reverber-
alton of thunder. The indications were
strong of heavy storm pending in the
East and another in the West. If the two
storms broke, places between were likely to
experience something like cyclone.
With two tremendous railroad strikes
threatening; and with what the signal ser
vice men call "local disturbances" of less
proportions predicted in other quarters, peo-
pie everywhere might well think with some
apprehension of tine probable results. These
results would be sufficiently appalling, as
we all realize, for the stoppage OF import
ant railways, even for a week, would in
volve the utter arrangement OF all our ma
chinery of living.

her with coldness and neglect, and the
village children pointed scornfullY at her,
crying, "There goes Lorelei, the water
nYmph."
The marriage festivities of the Prince
were being celebrated with great splendor.
No one thought of the sorrowing Lorelei; no
one noticed the tears rolling down her pale
cheeks, or that she had entered the chapel
lust as the royal pair knelt to receive the
blessing from the priest Suddenly muir
muir ran through the church, and voice
shouted: "Lorelei, the water nymph is
here"
''Seize the witch" cried a second voice.
But swift as a deer Lorelei sped away to the
rocks by the Rhein, and here, safe from her
pursuers, she thought: my father was
right; the people on the land are treacher-
Gus and full of deceit
Then she cried amid heart-broken sobs,
Dear father, forgive your foolish child,
and that ever left you for these false peo-
ple."
And with one last look toward the land,
she threw herself into the water. and was
received into the arms of her forgiving
father.
The bridal festivities at the castle con-
tinued; bat the Prince was not happy. He
knew that he had been false and cruel to
the little nymph. Fastening to the shore
Of the Rhein he seemed to see Lorelei in
the water beckoning to him, and he ran TO-
ward her, only to meet his death.
II is now many hundred years since the
Rhein King and his subjects have allowed
themselves to be seen above the water; but
sometimes, on a moonlight night, Lorelie,
with her long. light hair falling about her
like golden veil, mounts the huge, gray
rocks, and her sweet song is heard by the
fishermen in their little boats on the River
Rhein. PAYsIE.

1209-A DILEMMA.

1SUS-A
The Perplezity of the Lucky Miners, the De-
tectiue and His Prisoner, the Bridal
Couple and the Bulldog.
Two miners who had struck bonanza were
returning to their homes, each laden with tneit
treasure when they came to river. The only
way of crossing this was by means OF Doat.
But the boat could only hold two people. or one
miner and his treasure, at time; and, as
neither of the two men was willing to leave his
treasure for a minute. it seemed Impossible TO
devise any means of getting both across.
At this juncture a detective arrived with
prisoner. As he was about to take possession
of the boat, he was accosted by the miners.
Hold on there" said they; If you take tne
boat across who will bring it back for us?"
The detective. Of course, could not leave MS
prisoner. and the situation was therefore no
better than before his arrival.
AS the discussion was in progress young
bridal couple arrived, and they, too, wanted TO
cross the river. They were accompanied Dy
ferocious bulldog.
The miners and the detective appealed TO the
newcomers for assistance in their dilemma.
I'VE shall be glad to afford yon every assist
ance in our power" said the bridegroom, pus
on two conditions"
"And they are?" asked the first miner.
"First, cannot leave my wife unprotected
among strangers. Either my dog or myselI
must remain with her, on which ever side OF
the liver she may be.
"Well, that is easily arranged" exclaimed
the second miner.
Yes" continued the bridegroom, .'but the
second condition is that my dog shall remain
on this side. l do not wish him to cross the
water"
Then" said the detective, II do not see how
the matter can be arranged"
Il do exclaimed the prisoner, who had not
yet taken part in the discussion.
And he proceeded to explain his plan, which
was successfully adopted.
How was the crossing managedf

meantime 1t is good thing that We are 30
adaptable for we are always liable to be
beset-.and upset-by the unexpected in the
most absurd and disastrous fashion.
1t Is not very many years since q horse
distemper paralyzed Pittsburg and Allie
gheny-and all the rest of Pennsylvania,
Tor that matter. Will any Pittsburger who
encountered the experiences OF the "epl-
zooty" ever forget them? 1t is not likely
that he will. The experiences were quite
too vivid and picturesque to be forgotten.
There was an occasion when people were
glad enough to take up the obsolete meth
ods OF old fogyism, and even barbarism.
We suddenly discovered that the horse
was very nearly the most important product
OF creation. Satisfactory substitutes for
him were sought everywhere. Mules an
swered the purpose best, Of course, but there
were not enough of them; and they had to
be eked out with oxen, and even with cows.
l saw on more than one occasion COW
harnessed with ropes to wagon and draw
ing load through the city streets.
And have lively recollections of one
load of merchandise pulled from the freight
depot in Allegheny to house in Pittsburg
by yelling team OF "a hogs, all hitched to
one wagon. When P1ttsburg got through
with the "epizooty," is was about ready to
cope with the most formidable railroad
strike that could be organized. Its civili-
cation had been pushed a good way back
toward barbarism by the microbe of horse

Pork md Beams

trufies
Your champgnons and your purees,
But give the plain dish without rufles,
The dish of our grandfathers' days.
l care not for oil-reeking sallet,
I've no turtle fat in my tureens;
The dish that is most to my palate
Is big plate of hot pork and beams
Let the beans be the whitest and fattest
(To bake them all night is the thing),
Then, with pork to add flavor, Tll attest,
'Tis dainty too good for king.
Then put vinegar, pepper and salt in,
And the trimming the appetite keens,
And the one thing IN life there's no fault In
Is big plate of hot pork and beans.
As the good Governor is not very specific
in his directions Tor his favorite dish will
add q recipe which may help some OF my
housekeeping friends:
Cover one quart OF dried white beans with
three qnarts of tepid water, and let stand over
night.
Put to boil. In the morning. in four quarts OF
fresh water, and cook till the skins break; then
drain them, and put in a bean pot or deep pan.
Score the rind of a pound or more of sweet
pork, place In the center of the beans, cover
with quart OF boiling water and bake for four
hours.
But this is only one OF the many ways OF
cooking the beans; and next week, no pre-
venting Providence, as the country parsons
say, I will tell the rest of the story.

his voyage on the Rhein, he would carry
her away to his fathers castle. Then came
this dreadful thought to Lorelei: "My
father knows Prince Herman and he will
surely destroy him."
And that night when the moon arose
and the nymphs had begun their sport in
the waves, the fsherman's foster daughter
made her way to the gray rocks, from
which she had often looked SO longingly
toward the land, and in pleading tones beg
ged that her father would come to her. She
had not long to wait; for soon the old king,
bowed with grief and age, answered the call
OF his child. Unmindful of her fathers
sorrow, Lorelei cried: Father, I pray
thee, spare the Prince Herman; do him no
injury"
81 shall do no harm to your Prince, 4"
answered the father sadly, while he is
true to you, and makes you happy. But
come to me, my child, before you are
wounded and sore, from the neglect which
you will surely receive from these treacher-
Gus people"
Lorelei only laughed and said: "Father,
you are wrong; the people on the land are
kind and good. I am much happier with
them than was in your royal palace"
Then said the King: "One thing desire;
you must tell the Prince that you are nv
daughter, Tor a child who is ashamed Of her
fathers love is not worthy to be the bride of
a noble prince"
Lorelei gave the desired promise, and
when she had tremblingIy disclosed her Sc

ment:

JUDGING THE AUTHORS.
A Clever French Writer Tells the Cold Truth
In n Concise WnY.

a NIeNer rEeuCu Au0 Ooiu AEutu
In Concise Way.
Guy de Maupassant, one of the cleverest
of modern French writers of fiction, prefaces
his newest novel, "Pierre ct JEAN" with an
essay on novels and novel writing. ALI the
world reads novels; poor story is more pop.
lar than a good history, but in reading each
person seems to think only ofwhat he wants
and never ofwhat the author is trying to do.
SAYS Maupassant:
"The public as whole is composed of
various groups whose cry to Us writer's is:
"Comfort me-"
"Amuse me-"
"Touch me-"
"Make me dream"
"Make me laugh"
"Make me shudder."
"Make me weep"
"Make me think"
"And only few chosen spirits say TO the
artist, Give me something fine in any form
that may suit you best according to your
own temperament
There is world of truth in this charge,
more's the pity. Novels and their writers
are cried up or down according to the indi-
vidual temperaments andltastes of readers,
instead of according to the authors purpose
and measure of its fulfllment
