or all the senses we possess, the sense of

how he would be affected by being de.

distinguish by touch between smoothness
and roughness, heat and cold. or by an i'm,

1t that the same finger which tells us that
a substance is lard or so, tells us Also
that 1t is hot or cold, smooth or rough,
long or short, even though we do not be-

Have we, as some psychologists aver, a
sixth sense, that OF t-emperaturef Ii not,
how comes 1t that a single touch of the
finger conveys to the brain, In the same
instant, three or four distinct impressions,
for the substance in question may be wet
or dry as well as hot or cold. hard or soft,
rough or SMOOTH
But the Psychologists cannot tell us the
why" of these things; they only know
that the sensations 30 conveyed are separ-
able, and hat the routes they travel be-
fore they reach the brain are not the same.

Under the rule and inspiration OF tho
art decorator. a curious confusion and
in~troversion of ideas has come to pass.
Instead of a % being the reflection Of
the person who mostly lives therein,
(Which should make the sight of a room,
even more than that of a persons friends,
be a true index of character), the room
Is now looked upon as the ruling guide.
The owner must live up, dress up, to the
room; she must try to harmonize with
the room instead of her room being
brought into harmony with her. In
fact, she is like q person who has bought
a particular picture frame and must
strive to find some picture that will fill
it fairly well.
A woman's room should be her frame,
which completes and pSrfocts the picture
of her individuality; but in the schemes
of the art decorator she is a mere acct
dent of no account, and he would design
a pompadour boudoir for Lady Macbeth
or a Greek music room for Becky Sharp,
wherein to sing Yvette Guilbert's latest
uccess TO the Marquis of Steyne, with
out a qualm ruffiing his serene self sat
~isfaction. The genre atelier was of
the modes of this craze for domestic
decoration, which was perhaps the most
l~udicrous, when estimable souls who
knew no more Of painting than a cat
does of a case of pistols thought it neces-
sary to establish easels about their rooms,
and even went so far as to hang palettes
ready ''set" for painting on their walls.

With the modern elevator almost any
speed desired can be obtained; it all de.

a shaft of $50 feet a speed of from $50 to

heard the story Of old John Swfnton.
When ! cold It to him we were agreed
that these were traces of him, and that
the pair Of us should set out ON another ex.
petition. The Indians were still hostile,
but we believed that a party of two, tax
ing all due precautions, could accomplish
more than a larger one. We outftted for
a hunting expedition, having a third ami
NAL to bear our packs, and we were sixty
two days making the trip from the fort to
the valley. Some days we had to lie quiet
to avoid the Indians, aud on others the
weather prevented travel.
It was not a valley l had ever seen be
fore, and not the one in which the old man
had first stopped. It was a spot three
through a separating spur. For reasons
which no one will ever know tho old man
had decided to make a change. This val
ley was smaller and was completely walled
in, Hk a lax among the hills The area
was about 800 acres, with a creek running
through the center, and IL was a little para
disc. He had built him avery comfortable
cabin OF rocks and poles, and might have
lived there for months before the Indian
discovered him. We found the tires Of
the four wheels hidden in the thick, green
grass, with other portions of che wagon
scattered about, and there was no question
but that the vehicle had been burned
This may have been the result Of accident
of course, but no one has ever reasoned thai
way. We found about the shanty many
bones, which wero undoubtedly those Of
the dogs. The wolves must have carried
many away. but there were enough lying
about to force US to the conclusion that all
the dogs had persisted. Who but Indians
would nave killed them,
There was the cabin, but not a trace OF the
old man, and we were sure that none of the
bones was his Accepting the theory that
he had occupied the valley for some weeks
or months before discovery, what would he
have done with his goldi Hidden Ii away
to be SURE. He had a rude fireplace in the
cabin, and we were not ten minu dis
covering that his money had once been
buried under 1t. The Indians would never
nave suspected his wealth or searched for
1t. and this would nave been a safe place.
but for reasons OF his own Swinton had re-
moved 1t. Where tor After half a days
search we discovered the spot, but 1t was
also empty. He had dug u hole in the base
of the mountain near the pass, but some
strange idea had caused him to look for a
spot he thought more secure.
II was our fourth day In the valley when
l accidentally discovered What we hoped
was the clew to the treasure. Many bushes
had sprung up in the five or six years. In
pulling one away which hid the face Of a
rock near the entrance to the pass | saw
that some letters had been cut into the
stone. We could not make them out until
rock. Then we d~eciphered the following;

THE ROAR OF GREAT GUNS.
A Situation That VIII Test Any Man.

Nerve.
Here are two field batteries-l2, 9 and
e-pounders In all-firing as rapidly as they
can be loaded. The reports blend into a
roar, and you must raise your voice as II
a hurricane was bowling about you. You
are not impressed, but rather aggravated
and annoyed There's a snap to each re-
port like the cracking of a great whip-a
spiteful sound which reminds you of a dog
following at your heels with his yelpl yelpi
yelpi
There is no more trying situation for a
soldier han to be lying down in support Of
q battery. He is only a few yards in front
of the guns, and he not only feels the full
force of the conclusion as communicated
to the earth from the ''kick' of the gun,
but the report itself seems to strike the
spinal column and travel up to the back of
the head. Then, too. there Is the fear Of
shells exploding prematurely or of grape
and canister ''dribbling," to cause wounds
or death, and it is n positive relief to see a
column of the enemy break cover for a
charge. The roar of the guns does not
linger for hours after. as Is the case with
mortars and siege guns. but you find your
nerves on edge n you temper spoiled
for a day or two The men who lay In lines
with a battery firing over them probably
endured more mental suffering than the
enemy at whom the guns wore pointed.
