WHY In the world. In the name oil
all that is going on to-day, do not
the press and the pulpit begin to
sound the alarm that it behooves
every wise man to be quite rs much
afraid OF what he calls his virtues us
OF his vices. They assume no pre-
tentious aims, and do not pat him on
the back and inform him what a
noble fellow he is when he tells a lie
or gets intoxicated. But what he
calls his virtues, whether intellectual.
moral or Of the affections are forever
doing this! All. intellect! you cannot
have too much OF it. And so he goes
on analyzing and refining till his heart
becomes dry as dust and his will
nerveless All. devotion to those you
love! you cannot have too much OF 1t.
And so he becomes selfshly indiffer-
ent to everything outside his own
family. and ready to sacrifice every
claim of public duty or OF fidelity to
sacred trusts to this ono absorbing
passion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 10.-Evi-
dence in rebuttal was given by the
prosecution to-day in the trial of Nj. t.
Curtis for the murder of Officer Grant
The only testimony of importance was
that of George Alters, who on cross
examination by the defense said that
the officers pursuing the man who was
running from the scene were ninety
feet behind when the man turned the
corner. This impeaches the testimony
of the officers, who testified that they
did not lose sight of the man while he
was running away. The case was con-
tinued until Tuesday.

HAS not the time come when the
rising moral sense OF the community
should grow so indignant at the con.
tradiction in terms of the idea that a
virtue" can possibly have q fault I"
as to scourge the mischievous lie out
OF the porch OF the temple. The mo-
ment n supposed virtue runs over into
a fault that moment 1t changes its
nature and is no more virtue. The
man who pluming himself on his
strength OF will, becomes tyrant in
his family, tramping down the individ-
uality OF wife and child. Is no long ger
a character to be admired for strength
OF will but a vulgar tyrant to be de-
tested. And yet what quality OF hui
man nature, however praiseworthy in
itself is not perpetually exposed
through excess to the danger OF de-
generating into some such positive
vice. Sympathy runs over into weak
ness, knowledge into pedantry. self
respect into pride. spontaneity into
ndiscretion-vices all OF them.

were recently subjected. The men
were Russians and a friend OF tn Q
murdered woman suggested to some
officers who were making an investi-
cation that there was q superstition
among the Russian peasantry that the
wounds inflicted by murderer would
flow afresh in case he subsequently
touched the body OF his victim. Act
ing upon this suggestion the suspected
men in turn were compelled to take
the dead woman's hand and TO SOL
EMMY assert their innocence. The
paper tells how they each trembled
and turned pale. and how each passed
the ordeal without being confronted
with the evidence OF guilt The SUI
perstition in question is not confined
TO Russia; but 1t seems little out OF
place. In an enlightened country and
at this stage OF the worlds progress

THE gift originated with those who
understood the biblical lesson that it
is more blessed to give than to receive
and the real value of the gift to the re-
cipient was not measured in any de-
gree by its cost to the giver. The
gift to the bride was token OF af-
lection from the friend who desired to
throw sunshine upon her life, and
gift OF Christmas was the gift OF
cheer not only to the little ones
but to those who inspired the wish
to crown the holiday with happiness
Business calculations did not enter
into gifts of any kind in the olden
time. when gifts were sacred. Tho
rich could give much or little with
out being misunderstood or criticised,
and the poor could offer the humblest
tribute OF affection or cheer and be
assured OF as generous n welcome as
the most opulent could comm and;
but gradually we have been degener-
sting from the sacred sentiment that
created gifts. and have continued to
degenerate from age to age until the
gifts OF to-day come largely from
heartless givers to heartless re-
cipients. Many of them indeed are
unwelcome because. in the business
way In which gifts are now given,
OF the demand for return OF equal
value when an opportunity shall offer.

church choir In Chicago. She still
sings daily and has no idea OF giving
up until she sees some reason not yet
manifest for doing so. Mrs. Bostwick
ascribes the preservation of her voice
TO continuous practice. Careful oft
constant use she thinks the best meth

A Photographic Ghost.

And speaking Of faces at the pane
there is one curious way by which
houses have been made haunted" as
much as houses were ever the resi-
dences of spirits In a New York
town some summers ago a woman saw
in passing the house OF her birth what
she was convinced was the spirit face
OF her dead mother killed by light
ming a month before. Uf course this
house became haunted in the minds
of the superstitious-it had the un-
enviable reputation for many months.
But year afterward more than
usually brave citizen saw the face at
the window as he was passing. 1t did
not change as he approached. And
the result Of his investigation showed
that the lightning fash which killed
poor Mrs Rodman had photo
graphically drawn her likeness on a
pane of glass-a very faint impression.

FIDDLING FOR HIS LIFE.
N nackwoods Minister Knew just Wha
Would Draw a Crowd.

DaVy Crockett the eccentric hunte,
ana congressman of Tennessee. mar
rates in his Life and Adventures q
story OF a clergyman who showed
singular wit in meeting an emery
ency.
Colonel Crockett was riding across
Arkansas with several companions
when they were startled by the sound
OF music. They stopped their horses,
listened and heard Hail Columbia
played on a violin. Then the unseen
yiolinist played Over the Water to
Charley"
The horsemen dashed ahead
toward the Washita river whence tho
sounds came. Several men were seen
running from new clearing, and the
music grew stronger and stronger.
When Crockett aad his companions
reached the ford they were surprised
to see a man Sir in a sulky in
the middle of the rer and pla, ING on
a fiddle. The h rse was up to his
middle in the w er. and the vehicle
apparently would soon be swept
away by the strong current; but the
man iiddled as ccmpOsedly as If he
had been on land exposed to no
danger.
The horsemen shouted to him. He
stopped iddling. You have missed
the ford!" shouted one Of the men
from the clearing.
Il know l have" shouted back the
fiddler.

Crockett and his friends rode up TO
the sulky. and after much labor,
brought the fiddler with his sulky and
horse back to the shore. He proved
to be an itinerant minister.
You've had a narrow escape" said
one.
Il found that out an hour ago"
answered the parson. I've been
fddling to the fishes for that time and
have played all the tunes | could with
out my notes"
On being asked what prompted him
to fiddle in such peril he replied that
there was nothing that could draw
crowd sooner than the sound of a
fiddle. He knew tuat he might bawl
for aid until he was hoarse. and
nobody would stir but if people once
heard the scraping of a catgut they
would come focking to the spot

PLANTS AS VEGETARIANS.
Mr.. Francis Darwin's Interesting Expcri
ments with Insectivorous Blooms.

rdnCls DarWfnS interesting Expert
ments with Insectivorous Blooms.
Mr.. Francis Darwin. the son OF the
great naturalist has been investigat-
ing the effect on insectivorous plants
of supplying them with. and with
holding from them animal food. he
grew two lots of plants under similar
conditions. One lot he fed with
roast meat one fftieth of grain be-
ing placed on the secreting glands
while from the other all such material
was carefully excluded.
The results were most marked in
the number and weight of the seeds.
The number of seeds produced by the
fed plants were as 240 to 100 of the
unfed ones. while the total weight of
the seeds was as $50 to 100. In
other words the plants which were
restricted to vegetarian diet were
invalids compared with the plants
furnished with animal food
Should not that do something
toward convincing the vegetarian that
their doctrine does not make for
health? 1t is difficult to suppose that
II there are even some vegetables
which do not flourish on vegetable
diet there can be anything against
nature in supplying animals provided
with all the instincts and organs
which appear to point to carnivor-
Gus diet with considerable portion
of animal food And we suppose that
the heavier seed would imply also the
more fertile seed. At least it is so
with wheat where the heavier the
grain the more abundant is its fer
tility. Spectator.
