Walled Cities in the Far East.

The first glimpse we get OF an east
ern walled city unfolds at once memo
ries of our childhood days, which
have, perhaps, never been awakened
since, and the pictures OF our childish
books, which impressed themselves
so vividly upon our minds, are repro
duced in the bright colors Of old,
when we are brought face to face
with the quaint battlements and the
dark gateways, with the accessories
OF bright, burning sunshine and tur-
baned figures and professions Of
camels and the listless calm OF the
tropical land. Such old cities are
still to be seen in India, still walled
the old fashioned and still peopled by
the figures OF the Biblical picture
book.
Closely akin to them are those wall
ed towns standing on the canals Of
mid China, passing through which,
say at the close OF the day, when
every tower and every roof stands out
clearly cut against the brilliant west
ern sky and we are challenged ty a
grotesque figure. armed with a spear
and probably wearing arnor, the illu-
sion is complete. and for the moment
we find it hard TO realize that we are
travelling at the end OF the nineteenth
century.
Even in much changed japan there
are old cities which still retain their
walls OF the age Of feudalism, and ia
the very heart of the capital the i'm
perial palace is surrounded by the
same quaint Notifications which in
old troublous times made IL an iInpe-
rum in imperio, although the walls
are crumbling and the gates are never
shut, and the mosts have been aban-
doned to the lotus and to carp OF
monstrous size and fabulous age.

Little Weaknesse, Of Big Brains.

All great people have had their
follies, which il only another way OF
saying that all have had their weak
points.
Tycho Brahe, the great astronomer.
had a terrible fear OF hares and foxes.
II by any chance he saw one, IL
ms sttered not whether IL WAS dead or
alive, he grew pale md his legs trem-
bled under him.
The great DIR. johnson, with all his
philosophy. was not without super
stition. He was very careful not To
enter room with his left foot fore
most; II by any chance he did 80 ho
would Immediately step back and re-
enter with his right foot foremost.
He was terribly afraid OF death, too.
and would not suffer Il TO be mention
ed In his presence.
Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts
OF thousands OF the enemy were but
sweet music, was mortally afraid OF
the sound OF thunder. and always
wanted to get under ground TO %.
cape the dreadful noise.
Queen Elizabeth. despite her bloody
nature, trembled at the sound OF the
word death. and Talleyrand sbiyer-
ed and changed color at the same
word.
Marshal SAKE, who loved TO look
upon the ranks OF opposing armies,
fed and screamed In terror at the
sight OF = cat.
Peter the Great could scarcely be
persuaded to cross q bridge, and
whenever he placed his foot on one
he would scream In terror. Like the
great man that he was, he tried TO
overcome this weakness, but he was
never able TO do 80.
Byron would never help any one TO
salt at table; nor would he be helped
himself, and II any salt were spilled
he would Immediately get up and

The Significance Of Trlhes.

In every life there are certain Incl
dents that hinge on tribes. The very
selection OF wife or husband is
often brought about through the in
strumentality OF what to outsiders
seem. to have no bearing whatever
on the case. yet not q thing occurs
but there may be traced as its in
centive some little spark that fired
the train.
Music and odors will bear impor-
tant parts in lifs's scenes as long as
the compositions live In the minds OF
their hearers, and long after the rose
has withered and faded away.
Perhaps the scent Of . violet as it
steals from the cluster in the corssge
OF some belle will bring TO the base
man OF the world the thought OF
springtime long ago when the earth
was fair and before life's joys had all
been tasted he realized the beauty OF
loves young dream.
AS that faint fragrance mingles
with the heavy ro.e-scented air he
can see again the sweet young girl
whose eyes were but counterparts OF
the dainty flowers she loved SO well,
and he gives a sigh for the days be-
fore the bloom had been brushed
from the petal and when life seemed
but one long day dream Of bliss.
How strain OF music will recall
some tragic event. Even tile play
ing OF hand organ, how 1t will
haunt us for years 10 come as memory
recalls that evening when in the twi'
light dim mother sat with the
daughters hand clasped fast In hers
as they listened 10 the rude music far
down the street, and as the shadows
heightened how the little air kept
coming back and lowering about un-
I'll even as they sat that mothers
spirit was called back TO God aud the
strain of music still came floating In.
All, the little things, the little
things The modest violet, the few
odd bars OF an almost forgotten
measure will keep alive those mem
ories OF the past long after all else
has in its turn faded away and passed
into the night.

IL may seem strange, but IL IL new

applied to the thrifty farmers stoin-
ach will remove the boards from the
Fences, let the cattle into bis crops,
kill the fruit trees. mortgage his farm,
and SOW his fields with wild oats and
thistIes. 1t will take the paint Of his
buildings, break the glass out OF the
windows and I'll them with rags. Ii
will take the gloss from his manners,
subdue bis reason, arouse bis pas
sions, bring sorrow and disgrace upon
bis family. and topple him into q
drunkard's grave. twill do this to
the artisan and the capitalist, the
matron and the maiden, as well as to
the farmer; for in its deadly ennity
to the human race, alcohol Is no re-
spector OF persons.

Her radiant face seemed half divine.

The merchant laughed. There are

The men agreed, and they took
glasses out OF the pantry on their way

with a laugh. Call him in; we may

opened the Moet and began pouring
it out.

passed a signal TO the accomplice

"Good-by, Stein!" They waved to

The diaIDond merchant lay quietly
on the floor OF his study and strained
his ears. He heard the thieves open
the hall door gently and pass out.
In another moment there was cry

THE BONNET BLUE.

The day is done, the cleaning hour
For lovers trysts is near,
And she hath LETT her turret bower
To meet her cavalier.
She is the daugf ter of the earl
For whom the counties sue,
And he's the grs ndson of churl,
And wears a Bonnet Blue.
Oh, sweeter is tie whispered VOW
For what might come between
No likelier youth than he, trow,
Was e'er in greenwood seen.
No grace than hers is more divine,
No heart more fond and true;
She lets the lordly suitors pine
To pledge Bonnet Blue.
She thinks upon her lofty state
And drops pensive tear;
She looks upon her lowly mate,
And she is straight in cheer.
He holds her in ais strong embrace,
He plights his troth anew;
She breads not Danger nor disgrace,
Beside her Bonnet Blue.
Next morn the bower maidens wait
In vain their mistress call:
The servers stand with cup and plate,
The vassals throng the hall
But where is she, the proudest born,
The fairest Scotland knew?
She welded ere the blush of morn
Her dear loved Bonnet Bluel
