An Interesting Case,

A particularly striking instance of men
tai telegraphy is related by normal school
teacher.
One day she asked her class, composed of
thirty grown girls, a question. Having
done so she began at one end and requested
an answer in turn. One after another an
swered in what seemed to her an irrelevant
why" she said, "you are not on my
line of thought at ALL" As she con-
tinued the rotation she felt that the corner
girl, the thirtieth, would reply correctly.
She was a bright pupil and one who
seemed peculiarly responsive to her teach
ing. Sure enough, No. 80 replied intelli-
gently and thoroughly.
But instantly there was a protest from
the other twenty-nine. "That was not
your question, Miss c." one asserted and
the others confirmed, and with but one
dissenting voice the class gave the ques-
ton rs they had heard it. Their swe
fitted this question, and Miss c., in the
face of this testimony, wa forced to be-
lieve that her lips had formed one question
while her mind was intent upon another.
And No. 80 had caught the thought behind
the words and she had fitted the question
to it.-New York Times.

The Cunpasitiun of Tears.

No subject has yielded more poetry than
that of tears. Adjectives the most various
have been used to express the qualities of
tears. They have been called "hot,"
''cold," "languid," "briny," gushing"
"round," "glittering," dull" SILENT"
"wearied," "wanton," and I know not
what else. They are waves of emotion,
and a a general expression they are said
to spring always from the heart-an ex-
preston singularly truthful, for no one
ever wept from the head; that is, 10 one
ever reasoned himself or herself into tears,
except through an appeal back to emotion.
The poets have dealt with what may be
considered, from their point of view, chem
istry Of tears. They have written about
'ssalt tears" "crystal tears" poisonous
tears" 'honeyed tears" and the like. They
are to some extent correct in their poetic
guesses. Tears are saline, for they carry a
trace of the chloride of sodium or common
salt which exists in the blood; they may
be poisonous, for in persons under the in
luence Of a soluble poison, like a salt of
antimony, they may convey an infinitesi-
NAL part of such poisonous material; they
may be honeyed, for in diabetes the tears
do sometimes become saccharine, like the
other fluid secretions.
But this sort of thing is exceptional. In
q general way tears are made up of pure
water, holding a trace Of saline matter and
nothing more; the glands which secrete
them are the purest wells of pure water in
the body.-Dr. w. B. Richardson in As
i clepiad, @j

Death News in q New York Paper,

Plain death excites but little attention.
It must be presented in some novel form
to claim particular notice in a community
where there is an average of a death every
ten minutes of each t~wenty-four hours.
Even deaths Of a violent nature must pre-.
sent new phases or involve people of i'm.
portance to be worth much space in the
New York newspapers.
Suicides have become so common and
uninteresting that it is not unusual to see
four or five attempts in that line occupy
not more than as many lines, each grouped
under a general head. So small and utter.
ly insignificant a thing is death in a great
city.-New York Herald.

A Curious Tax.

Among the curious taxes levied on trades
people in Corea is one on sorceresses arriv-
ing at the capital, where they had to pay
the board Of revenue a certain number of
logs or sticks Of wood, for what purpose it
is not said, but certainly not to burn them
with later OF, for they are an inluen-
tial class in the community. The tax is no
longer levied.-Philadelphia Ledger.

He whispered his heart as he sank to resk,
II will know no more Of remorse and SORROW,
And the safety of pleasures quest"
Then, across the silence, an eerie laughter
Quivered and gurgled as he sank to rest:
mot tomorrow, sweet youth, nor the day after
Tomorrow will you forsake sweet pleasures
quest"
Tomorrow l will wed my love; tomorrow
He whispered his heart rs he sank to rest,
I'll begin aright-nor remorse nor sorrow
Shall ever embitter fond loves sweet quest"
Then q~uivered and gurgled an eerie laughter:
Love oft brings sorrow to its winners
breast,
Not tomorrow, brave man, nor the day after
Tomorrow will you attain fond loves sweet
quest"
Tomorrow, they say, l will die; tomorrow"
He whispered his soul, in sad unrest,
ut may all then come right-all sin and sor-
And end life's fever in pleasures quest"
Then, across the silence, an eerie laughter
Quivered and gurgled in sad unrest:
Not tomorrow, old man, nor the day after
Tomorrow will life desist from pleasures

The Novelist and the Cabmans

The Novelist and the Cabman.
Alexander Dumas, Jr., writes as fol-
lows: my father possessed extraordinary
strength of muscle, evidence of which l had
for the first time when about fourteen or
fifteen years of age. One day he took me
to the Gymnase. AS we came out of the
theater it was raining cats and dogs. l
followed him to a solitary cab, which was
standing on the boulevard. He gave
his address to the driver, who stood beside
his cab, and we were about to get in when
the man put his hand on the door, saying:
"I'm not going to stir from the spot in
this weather under five francs a fare
"'You won't. eh?'
emo
"'For the first, second and last time.'
"Cabby made no reply, but stood there
with his hand on the door. Then my IA
Their got hold of the man around the mid
die, lifted him from the ground, hoisted
him on his seat and said, Perhaps you'll
go nowl'
"And stepping into the carriage he said
to me, Remember in future how you are
to deal with refractory cabmen.'
II still fancy l see that cabby with his
heavy cloak, all of a heap, jerked up into
the air like a feather and Topping down on
the seat like a lump of lead"

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Word was re-
ceived here to-day from Catchings that ne
would reach the city on Monday. When
he returns the rule to bring silver to a
vote will be adopted by the rules commit
tee, and will make its appearance IN
the house on Monday. The anti
silver men are making strong
fight TO defeat the rule, and are hopeful
OF success, but it is practically conceded
the rule will carry in the house, provided
the Republicans as a party do not oppose
its adoption. When the question comes
up on the passage of the bill, how
e. er, there is no doubt as to how
the Republicans will stand, and there with
be the alliance between the anti-silver
Democrats and all except nine Of the Re-
publicans. MIR. Funston Of Kansas and Mr..
V. "A. Taylor Of Ohio, who voted with the
free-coinage men, will vote against
the bill on its merits. The anti
silver Democrats assert they can
win the fight on its merits, but by a narrow
majority. The free coinage men have
aeated 10 remarkable degree
their confidence in their ability
TO pass the free coinage measure
through the house, and are endeavoring to-
have every man who is with them present
when the vote is taken. A number of free
coinage men are very doubtful of the result
and expect defeat by one TO Ave votes.

sa1Isburr,s POSITION a Guess.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-There has been
much speculation as to the reasons for the
position of Salisbury in respect to the
Behring sea modus vivendi His ostensible
reason for refusal of the modus vivendi is
the representation at Alaska last summer
by his government to the effect there was no
necessity for its removal. The real reasons
are believed to be, first, the disposition to
use his present position to full advantage
in getting concessions from the United
States upon other points in the controversy,
such for instance as the claims for dam
ages which remain unsettled; second,
TO favorably impress Canada with the APP
parent disposition TO heed her demand, and
third to avail himself of the present oppor-
tunity to retaliate upon this government
for the alleged infraction of spirit of the
modus viyendi last year, permitting the
North American commercial company to
kill more than $500 seals permitted
by the terms of that agreement.

friends and enemies of the administration

for various purposes connected with the ad-

find something that would damage the
present administration has put its friends
to delving into the expenditures of previous

wherewith to defend itself. As far as can
be learned neither party has found anything
better than bird shot, where it was hoped
to discover an arsenal of guns, knives and
bombs.
