Only a Reproduction.

There was once-and it was not very
long ago--a young musician who had
composed an air of which he secretly
entertained very high opinion. as be-
ing melodious. delicately and. ut the
same time, quantity scored for the
piano and. of course. undoubtedly
original. Having quite finished it,
says the n. Y. Ledger. he one day
PLAYED it over to musical friend who
happened to he passing the afternoon
with him. The composer did not say
"Listen to what [ have just composed"
but while seated at the piano chatting
and striking chords he slyly let his
fingers glide into the melody, propos-
ing to ask his friend how he liked il
when it WAS finished. But. to his de-
light. his friend soon interrupted with
the remark: How very pretty that
is.'' DO Won think SOP" the COM
poser answered conceaIing the in
tensity of his rapture; aud before he
could add. deprecatingIy. "A little
thing that came into his head the other
day." that friend continued: Very
pretty! I've always liked that air ever
since my mother sung it to me. when
was chiid!'

A Peep at the Haren,.

First came q long line of covered
carriages each drawn by pair of
handsome horses; by the side of the
coachman sat Nubian eunnch, while
others of these duSky attendants fol-
lowed on foot. Within were closely
yelled figurcs-the female members of
the royal family; among them the
Sutan's mother. the greatest lady in
the empire. What visions of Il strange
secluded life were suggested by these
mysterious forms. these shrcuded dem
liens of an unknown world. with its
hidden scenes of intrigue and jealousy,
of triumph and despair! From the

There was something strange and
touching in this appartion, as when

A pause followed, and then the Sui
tan's carriage appeared, an open ba-
rouche drawn by two splendid cream
colored horses. On the front seat sat
two distinguished military officers.

of the soldiers in somewhat mechan-
zeal fashion. and never once raised his
eyes to the windows from which he
looked. There were no loud huzzas to
be responded to. no crowds of loyal
and excited spectators craving for a
bow or smile. All was silence but
for the sharp click of the rifles as the
soldiers presented arms; far beyond
the line of bayonets before us we could

As Quick as Lightning.

According to the San Francisco
Examiner, the quickest thing next to
electricity is snake. Well-behaved
serDents are always Interesting. But
for the unfortunate information that
one gave to Miss Eve before she elOpcd
with Adam when he was head gardener
of the Eden ranch. there would be
snakes in more respectable families
snake professor says that ''hissing
pythons and cobras will eat ut any
time except when they are blind and
shedding their skin. They won't touch
anything then. Another queer thing
about them is that they wont eat any
thing but white animals. Wait; I'll
show YOU" and taking young rabbit
out of its cage he placed it in the box
with the snakes.
Incr did not move for about a min
ute. Then one of the pythons raised
its head and fastened its eyes upon
bunny. The rabbits ears dropped, its
eyes closed and it began to trem5le.
All ut once the snake shot forward, and,
Selling it by the back of the neck, coiled
itself around it and began crushing out
its life, then turning it over began to
swallow it. The python's head under
ordinary circumstances was not larger
than thumb joint on n mans hand,
yet when it seized the rabbit its jaws
became dislocated in such way that
it was able to start the rabbits head
into its mouth. Then by a peculiar
motion it began slowly to swallow it's
prey. As the snake worked backward
and forward its head stretched to many
times the natural size, until finally
bunny's hind legs disappeared down
the nYthOn's mouth.

FOXY OLD SITTING BULL.
How He Plays the Role OF Prophet and
Practices Hypnotism.

Many and wierd are the tales told
about Sitting Bull, but the most UNI
canny yarns of all are those that have
been related of him since the red men
have been looking for an Indian
Messiah. 1t was not until the craze
had become widespread that Sitting
Bull began to convert it to his own
use, but since then he has been work.
ing it for its total value. The cunning
old rogue WAS not SO fOolhardy as to
attempt the role of the Messiah. but
has found it more convenient and just
rs much to his purpose to play tho
part of prophet. He tells loug and
rather pretty story of having been inn
PEELED by some strange influence, while
wandering in the woods one night. TO
follow star which was moving vest
ward through the sky. All night the
star guided him. and in the morning
he came upon the Messiah clad in
white robe. He had long waving hair
and beard and manifested a desire to
speak to Sitting Bull.
Then follows the familiar story of
the promised return of the buffalo and
the restoration of dead Indians to life.
But the manner in which Sitting Bull
makes converts and maintains his in~
tiuence is the remarkable part of the
whole affair. says the Minneapolis
Tribune. A Carlisle boy--cducated
and intellgent-testilies that when he
approached Sitting Bull the latter be-
gan singing and incidentally seized
him bv the left foot. He felt as if
charge of electricity had been passed
through his system and all the lights
shone blue or purple. Sitting Bull
then blew upon the crown of his head
and he became cold. He asked the
Young man to put his arms about him,
but he was unable to move them.
Dozens of other instances of the big
chiefs mesmeric or hypnotic power are
cited. and he has employed it freely
and with convincing effect among his
people.
Sitting Bull has evidently been read
ing the Scriptures or listening TO the
missionaries quite attcntively, rs his
story of being led by star is evident
ly plagiarized from the Biblical account
of the star of Bethlehem. That he is
also newspaper reader. or in some
other manner keeps up with the fads
of the times, is evidenced by his expert
ments in hypnotism. If he and his peo-
pie were not so hemmed in by civil
ization and so directly under the eye
Of the Government there is no telling
what mischief he might do. AS it is,
his capers in the role of prophet have
been merely amusing.

Not an Anarchist.

Maria Tschebrivoka, whose letter to
the ear has Eot yet been forgotten,
and who was recently ordered to be
taken to Siberia, has commonly been
described as a young lady. The hero
inc, says the London Echo. is fifty-four.
Nine. Tschebrivoka had not been
heard of outside of Russia before the
publication of her famous letter, but
she has done much. Her life has been
more important than conspicuous.
Twenty-Five Years ago she published a
book on Russian history and litera-
ture, but before the letter in question
she had not published line which
even the Russian censors would object
to. She was not Tcvolutionist, nor
is she now.
With anarchism, nihilism. red
politics of any sort. she neither had
nor has any sympathy whatever.
What got Maria Tschebriyoka into
trouble is not politics, but her candid,
outspoken warnings to the ear. her
assertion that in educated and official
society the alteration of the car has
