THE MASTERY OF LOVE.

Love was a stranger
Without lock or key
He unlocked my bosom
And took my heart from me.
Now my heart is subject
Everywhere CO.
Be gentle master. Love,
To one who loves you So
In few days and weeks,
In few months or years,
Love brought me sorrow,
And the salt, salt tears.
oh, Love, come with laughter,
Or, Love, come with woe,
Deal but gently with the heart
That leans upon you so.
The bees wing is fragile,
The lark's egg is small,
That you took was little,
But it was my all.
Bear the captive where you will
To high estate or low,
But be gentle master, Love,
To one who loves you so.

THE RIVAL MINsTRELs.


Haruun AL Raschid loved his harem's maids
He loved his gardens, with their winding
shades;
He loved TO watch his crystal fountains play,
He loved his horses and his courtiers gay:
He loved all royal sports that please king.
But most be loved 10 hear his MINISTRIES sing.
And 20 II happened that his fame had brought
Two rival singers to the caIlph's court.
Who pleased him best. full we'll each minstrel
knew.
Would be proclaimed the greater Of the two.
So well they pleased him that they found him
To choose between them. for hs loved them
both.
LET all the nation judge al length said he.
who plcases best my people pleases me"
Through all the land the rival poets sung;
Their names and music were on every tongue.
Until at last they never reached door
Where Fame had not sung all their songs be-
fore.
Ben Olaf sang of deeds the caliph wrought.
The riches and the splendors Of his court:
The mighty warriors every nation boasts,
And armies vanquished by the prophets hosts
How lsam's valor was beloved and feared;
And when be finished. listening thousands
cheered.
Mustaphas songs were all Of simpler things:
Forgotten was the pride OF earthly kings.
He sang to them OF home and truth and love:
How Allah watched his children from above,
Close to their hearts the poets music crept:
And when be finished. all the people wept.
For though Ben Olaf charmed them with hi,
arts,
It IVES MustapLa's sonGs that reached thei.
hearts.

Fifty Kinds 81 Electric Fishes.

According to the statements of the
English naturalist. Professor Stirling,
there are in existence today upward Of
fifty species of fishes having more or less
specialized organs, the function of which
is the generation of electric discharges
The fishes differ widely. sometimes
strikingly, from each other, belonging
mostly to different families, and oc-
casionally even to different orders of the
"Pisces." In structure they closely re-
semble the other species of the genera
to which they severally belong, differ
ing from them. with an occasional ex-
ception, mainly in the possession Of or
gans for electric generation.
The well known electric rays" for
example, Of which Nicholson mentions
three and Gunther six, are the most
prominent. These rays are found in the
Atlantic and Indian oceans and the
Mediterranean sea. and are seen in the
English channel, or even farther north;
while other electric fishes are still more
cosmopolitan, though most Of them in
habit limited areas and warm waters

He caught me, judge, with the shoes
and the box in my hand. I'll tell you

the prisoner had pleaded guilty. "How
did you come to steal the shoes? You
look like a hard working man." re-

ply. He was committed for six months.
The judge remarked later: Il was rather

the bar like Marc Antony, not with
the sleek expression. Your honor or a
whine of any kind. Had he given me
any good excuse would have been very
lenient with him, for if l am not very

1t would appear by the following item
from recent issue of the New Orleans
Times Democrat that the suggestion in
Louisiana State Lottery Company in
tends setting up business elsewhere, is
erroneous; that it will cloee up shop on
the expiration OF its present charter:
In view of the contradictory rumors
circulated regarding the intentions OF
the Louisiana State Lottery Company,
and in order to accurately answer mum,
erous inquiries, representative of the
Times Democrat yesterday interviewed
Mr.. Paul Conrad, the president OF the
company, with the result expressed be-
low:
Reporter-Mr. Conrad, it was asserted
some weeks ago in the Northern news
papers, and the statement has since
been revived recently, that the company
is about to remove to Nicaragua, and
there, under a government franchise,
open up the business ON grander scale
than ever.
President Conrad have heard some
thing of this. but there is no foundation
for it, The company has officially stated
that it bows to the decision of the SUI
preme Court and will respect the laws.
Reporter-Then you have no plans of
future action?
President Conrad-I cannot state the
case more strongly than was done at the
time the company decided not to
attempt to obtain renewal of its char
ter. can only repeat that the company
will continue in business until the ex-
piration of its present charter and then
cease to exist. l cannot understand
after all that has been said, why there
should be any confusion in the public
mind about the matter.
Reporter-Have you any objection t.
my stating this as finally for the salts
faction OF the public9
| President Conrad-None whatever.
Reporter-Some OF the Eastern papers
Mr.. Conrad, persistently assert that the
lottery company continues to use the
United States mails in the prosecution
of its business; will you kindly tell me
| If that is true2
President Conrad-It is utterly untrue
We are obeying the law in its letter and
spirit, and our agents everywhere art
instructed to obey it. We are using the
express companies only in our business
and in all our circulars are printed in
structions to all persons dealing with nj
