THE ART OF LOOKING.
Intellectual Perception rs Important as
Sense Per ception.

Intellectual Perception as Important as
Sense Perception.
There Is a science as we'll as an art In |
looking. 1t is already trite to say thai
not every one knows good thing when
he secs 1t. OF one who was seeking q
position on daily newspaper, the ed
itor asked: "Does he know news when
he sees itP" Not every one knows how
to look and where to look, even II he
knows what to look for. Thousands OF
summer tourists, who imagine them
selves "sightseers, miss the best sights
because they don't know sight when
they see II. Not every one who enters an
Arab tent or an Indian Mgwam, sees
the Arab or the Indian, though he break
bread with him. Usually, that which
is charact cteristic Of a place Is that which
is best worth seeing in it. No one sees
a New England village, or town, or city,
who merely looks for the biggest build
ings and the most costly residences.
The characteristic is neither In the how
el nor in the palace. The neat painted
frame house, the elm-arched street, the
quiet thrift-these may not wholly graf
| ify the aesthetic sense so much as they
crafty the historic sense. But the
"sights" are in them. 1t is the flavor
Of a strawberry that makes 1t straw
berry for tho palate. There is mot much
to see" in an artificial fower-to bee
But the bee knows the flavor OF the
flower when he tastes 1t. That which
Is characteristic and typical Is that
which best merits seeing. There Is mot
much to see," in any place, to him who
does not know what there is in II when
he sees 1t. And what Is true OF exter-
nal nature and OF things In general Is
true OF man. There Is more general
value in the study OF an ordinary child
than OF an extraordinary one. The say
ihgs OF an average child have a value
TO the student OF child-life-and human
life-not found in the wit and wisdom
OF q precocious child. Tho working Of
the human mind in the abstract may bt
better demonstrated by the simple logic
OF an infant than by tho elaborate ar
Rument OF 4 venerable lawyer. 1t II
worth while to know what things arr

CHAPTER XVIII.

Had tho designing limerick known
what had transpired in the Argentine
Republic during tho timo since no left
there his easy, happy feeling would
have been changed to onrof bitter chag-
rim. The plucky Englishman whom we
left lying in the bottom OF bullock
cart, few months before, had not yet
become food for the fishes.
During the whole Of the day on which
the meeting for the duel took place he
lay in the bottom Of the cart covered
with sacks Twioe he was permitted q
little fresh air and twice the gags were
taken from his mouth In order that he
might drink little filthy water which
was given TO him by the poems who had
charge OF him. On these occasions he
was too weak 10 shout and had he
shouted his voice would have spent
Itself unheard, for he was too far from
any living soul (except his captors) u
secure help.
When tho shades Of night fell he wa
conscious that tho stopping place TO
rest had been reached. He know tina
the bullocks were being taken from th'
cart, for he recognized the cries Of th'
| poems as they urged the tired beasts :
move. Then they took the gags from
his mouth and spoke to him In thei
jargon which no did not understand, ss'

Criminals in China.

The Chinese have a very summary
method OF dealing with violators OF
the law and rogues generally. Pun
ishment OF offenses with them is pretty
certain and fearfully severe, whether
Just or not. During the progress of q
large fire some thieves entered q build
ing for the purpose Of plundering amid
the general confusion. They were OBJ
served by the police, who. instead Of
following and arresting them, very
quietly fastened the door upon them,
so that they could not escape, and left
them to perish in the burning ruins.
There was no trial, no conviction, but
being caught in the perpetration OF q
crime they we're left to suffer the pun
ishment they had dared TO brave. Such
O disposition Of criminals would prove
q strong incentive to honesty, or at
least check against improper con-
duct.-N. Y. World.

CHAPTER XyIL-CoNTINUED
Finding that he could not induce
Eugene to help him through in his
scheme by holding out prospects OF
wealth to him Mr.. limerick thought he
would resort to another plan. His ac-
tive mind had soon invented one, but as
he proceeded to unfold it he little
knew how truo his supposition was,
"Supposing," said he, "that this En-
rlishman should not be dead after all
and that he should turn up to claim the
money? Then, as q natural conse-
auence, he would marry Armida Delaro,
and how would you feel about thatP'
II would feel like killing tho pair OF
them" responded Eugene. The pros
pective possession Of an immense sum
Of money had failed to rouse Eugene's
inward nature, but when that insiduous
worker Of evil jealousy, assumed the
reins OF his mind, he took different
course. Besides, he was getting warm
with wine and his words flow thick and
fast 'Nover," no said, shall any man
marry Armida Delaro but Eugene Bregy.
II she refuses me she shall never live to
refuse another"
limerick could hardly have believed
that 80 slight hint would have caused
such a change OF front, but heinwardly
chuckled at the result Of his apparently
accidental suggestion.
"Such a thing is more than possible
he said There are many gentlemen
travelling through that country who
might resemble Percy .Lovel In dress
and appearance and become tho victims
OF an accident Besides, the body foun(
in the river was badly aacomposod, ant
the identity was only presumptuous a
tho best"
These words only increased Eugene
eagerness and in an impetuous name
he exclaimed. ~ will start for Londoi
tonight and survey the field. II Armi
da refuses me as poor man Will sto
at nothing to make myself rich enoug
by some means to havo q fitting re
venge."
Thus did the polished old villair
stepped in sin, commence to drag thi
splendid specimen Of manhood down
his own level. The first step was bein
taken and Eugene was to taste some
that strange sweetness in crime whic
leads the faster from one deep water
another until finally he gets beyond h
depth and sinks forever.
Eugene was as good as his word. IN
next day he started to Calais, his debt
all paid and letter Of credit for col
siderable sum in his pocket to defra
his expenses in the somber metropol
OF the world.
Mr.. limerick took another rout
Amiens was to DO the scene OF the me-
efforts in behalf Of this Prince OF 81
When he related the result OF his Wis
TO Paris to Mrs Bregy he did not
here strictly to the truth. He told b
that Eugene was progressing favorab
with his studies and that he had go
over to London for few days by WI
OF q little recreation.

claimed the delighted woman, throwing
her arms around his neck. Having sue
ceeded in working his too confident
wife up TO this pitch, the unprincipled
schemer continued In his deceptive
manner to still further deludo the trust
Ing creature.
"Do you prefer 10 remain in your ma.
tive land, my dear" he asked, "or shall

tionr' ~.
"That Is something OF which ! have
been thinking ever since you left mo q
