The unconscious rudeness of stupid

social vexations, and yet it is a thing
which must be endured as part OF the
discipline OF life.
A lady who had had her house done
over in the most recent fashion was
asked by every intimate friend who
called to exhibit it from top to bottom.
As she was one of the persons who
have numerous intimate friends she
filed the Office OF exhibitor pretty

to whom she showed the house went
away and made intimate friend COM

the chambers, +" the guest said.
Yes, you have seen them all" was
the reply.
No" the caller insisted, " there is
certainly one which have not seen. !"
IL have shown you all the chambers
there are. the hostess answered.
WELL" the other said. II do not
understand it. Mrs. Smith," naming
the hostess most intimate friend, told
me that there was one chamber that
had the most vulgar paper on 1t that
she ever saw, and / wanted to see

IN ABSENCE.

But yesterday, in yonder spot
Mine eyes could rest upon thy face,
And now there's but an empty space
Wherein seek and find thee not
All IL the same, yet not the samel
The river flows, the flowers bloom.
The stars pierce through the darkling
gloom,
And nature calls aloud thy name.
Now stranger eyes look into thine,
And stranger lips their welcome speak;
A strangers kiss Is on thy cheek;
But none can be to thee as mlne
For, north or south, or east or west,
Come storm or sunshine, veal or woe,
A truer heart thou'lt never know
Than that which trembles In this breast!

and bore him, bleeding and dusty, to a
shady spot to wait for the ambulance.
People were being FRUSTRATED by the
heat all over the city. and the ambu-
lances had been on the run all day.
After about half an hour of suspense,
doctor, who was passing, was called
over. He knelt down by the man, felt
his crushed-in side. and examined his
fractured skull. Then he shook his
head and asked, softly: HAS he any
friends among you?" None of us
knows him. SIR" said the foreman.

Strange Rites and Ceremonies Still OBJ
served by Them.
The wandering exiles whose origin
has been traced to the Valley of the
Indies, make it rule to conform to
the dominant crceds of their adaptive
lands. They are good Mussulmen in
Turkey, Roman Catholics in Austria,
and Protestant Christians in Northern
Germany and the United States. But
in addition to these dogmas of expe-
diency, they profess tenets OF an elder
creed which has been defined as sort
of sun-worshi }, and involves rites
which are still observed ut certain
times OF the year, or even publicly
upon extraordinary occasions. A few
weeks ago hundreds of gypsies assem-
bled at Mascoutah, H., to attend the
funeral rites Prince" Celiouka Laja,

Artificial Minerals.

Attempts have been made, not with
out success, to form minerals. Arti-
fetal ultramarine has long been an
article Of commerce. The formation
of the diamond is said to have been
actually affected but in the opinion OF
the inventor. the process is so difficult
and so dangerous that the diamond
miner and the diamond merchant need
not feel uneasy. The ruby and the
sapphire have lately been reproduced
in Paris, and, curiously enough. the
coloring matter in both is found to be
due to one and the same metal-chro-
mium-in different states OF combine
ton. Red and blue stone. or an inter
mediate violet form which might be
likened to the rare and beautiful
oriental amethyst, have been obtained
in one and tho same operation from
the same lot OF material. The jewels
thus produced have so far all been
small--large enough to form the pivots
OF superior watch works, but not large
enough to rank as rare and costly orna-
mental objects.

IT is true murderers have little pity
for their victims, and pay slight heed
TO possibility Of sadness and misery
when committing their crimes. But 1t
must be remembered that society In not
supposed to execute criminals from
purposes OF revenge The sole logical
defense for the taxing OF life by the
state lies in the superstition that 1t is
an act Of self-defense, In that the act
will deter the commission OF similar
crimes by others. II 1t shall be proved
that the legal killing Of criminals has
not this effect, and that murders in
crease rather than decrease in states
whore capital punishment obtains,
then will its defenders have lost their
strongest argument.

NO CAR TRACKS in LONDON.
There Are 5000 Hsnsoms, 1000 Four
wheelers and 5000 Buses.

There Are 9, 900 Hansoms, 1000 Four
wheelcrs and 1000 Buses.
There are no street cars run by the
trolley, storage or any other electric
system; no cable cars no horse cars;
not a track laid for surface road In
the city proper. Many Americans
leave London without ever seeing a
street car Of any kind, and yet in the
metropolis 1000 street cars run daily
over 120 miles of track, but they are
not permitted in crowded thorough
fares; they are confined to the outlying
districts.
/ have only seen them in the East
End. says Morris Phillips in tho Home
Journal. The street cars are double
deckers." and. like the buses, they
carry more outside than inside passen-
gers, but the number OF passengers is
limited. When the car has reached
its limit it will take up no more pas
sengers. Every passenger has the
tight to seat and to use para
doxical phrase. every Engllshman
stands up for his right to seat
Street cars are not needed in the
city. Nearly all London streets are in
us good condition for driving as our
Central Park roads. There are 5000
hansoms, 4, 900 four wheelers and 2. 600
omnibuses. so that you are not obliged
TO walk on account of the absence OF
the cars. The four-wheeled cabs or
'growlers' as they term them. are
dilapidated, uncomfortable vehicles,
which lack new springs and are dirty
both inside and out.
Tho horses and the drivers are old
and superannuatod. They have all
seen better days in private carriages
or hanson cabs. You never take II
four-wheeler II you are alone or II tho
party consists of only two persons.
You must engage one II you have
trunk. but II you are going to catch a
train or boat you had better allow a
half hours margin.
The London cab service is the best
and cheapest in the world. The writer
says this, Notwithstanding that he re-
members that you can hire u cab in
Key West for dime.
But such cabs and such horses! The
fare in a hanson fo- u two-mile drive
is Is. (25 cents); by the hour. % cd.
(52 cents). There no such smart
horses for public hire anywhere as the
London cab horses. They go like the
wind if by the course, and they go at a
similar gait by the hour II you promise
an extra Cd.

THE most northern people OF the
world to-day are the handful OF Eski-
mos, supposed to be about one hundred
in number. called tho Etah natives.
who live upon the west coast Of G reen-
land. between 76 and 70 degrees north
latitude. For many years after Kane
came home with his vivid and absorb
ing story Of the isolated natives, they
were supposed to have built their stone
huts nearer tho pole than any other
human beings We know now, how
ever. that Bessels. Mares. and Greedy
found numerous traces OF human oc-
cupancy as far north as the eighty-sec-
ond parallel; and so long ago was it
that they built their huts and sledges
and hunted the bear and the walrus In
the far north of Grant Land that the
Etah natives OF to-day have only the
dimmest and most uncertain traditions
that In the time OF their .forefathers
mon lived TO the north OF them.

LOOK Mt some OF the northern states
which have made u boast of their
common schools and their general en-
lightenment. In Connecticut the in
crease in population was 1884 pcr
cent and tho increase in school enroll
ment was 6.6S per cent. In Illinois
The percentages Of increase wore "a. 32
and l0.5 5 respectively; in Indiana
1882 aue 096; in Massachusetts,
1857 and 1873; in Michigan. 1892
and 1882; in New York. Is and 1.3S;
in Pennsylvania 22.77 and l.59. In
all these and other northern states the
school enrolment was smaller in pro-
portion to population in 1890 than in
1880 and 1t may be inferred that there
was an increase OF illiteracy.
