A Chronic Case.

Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is a certain invalid who
spends her days in studying her cease"
and writing about it. Her letters are
long, full of unpleasant details and so
burdaned with inquiries and requests
that they have to be answered at almost
equal length, and most of them are ad-
dressed to men and women to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of typewriter would relieve unfa-
vorable symptoms, and asks a hundred
questions about the different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to write. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vases by letter for worthless suLscrip-
tion book that she may gain the money
to do so.
But always her lease" is directly or
indirectly the theme OF the many closely
written pages. All things past, present
and to come are related to her various
Affections. In the words of Persian
proverb, 1.-The sun shines that the world
may see her wounds. s."-YoLth's Com
panion.

Aunt scinda,s Fonr Hundred.

can old negro woman has established
new theocracy at Grenada, Miss, )" said
j. H. b. Miller, of Coffeyville. Her
name is Sciuda, and her followers are
called 'Scinda Band They number
about 400. s'cinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with an iron rod. They
use no Bibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart.
If Scinda asks them Biblical question
they are supposed TO have am answer at
once. They have their meetings every
Sunday evening and they are interest
ing to observe. The congregation-men
and women-are decked out in costly
ribbons and beads. Their chants are as
weird as the sobs and sighs of graveyard
trees. They dance to the music of the
banjo and tambourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home. st. Louis Republic.

On Collecting Antographs.

The most elementary form of the
strangers letter is of course the applica-
ton for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. There is usually sent
with the request blank card on which
the name is to be written, with an en-
velope stamped and addressed for its re-
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechanical, though the line of pro-
priety is at once passed, we may say,
where two cards are sent, the second
one being obviously for exchange pur-
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author never, l suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out a mere business trans
action. Where any applicant goes far
ther and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomes more serious,
and some authors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being much
more serious consumers of time.-T. w.

The secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitution, Professor Langley, has been
experimenting with Cuban tire4lies with
a view to discovering the manner in
which the illumination they emit is
generated. He says that the light they
give is the cheapest in the world
produced, that is to say, with the least
heat and the smallest expenditure of
energy-and he believes that Il success
full imitation of it would prove a most
profitable substitute for gas or electrici-
tv, The insects are beetles two inches
long and belong to the family of SNAP
ping bugs" so called because when one
of them is laid on it's back it snaps itself
Into the air with clicking sound. The
secret of the light this freely gives is as
yet undiscovered.
Apparently it is connected in some
way with the mysterious phenomena of
life, and chemists and physicists have
sought in vain to explain its origin. On
each side of the animals thorax is a
luminous membraneous spot, and these
fash at intervals, so that the Cubuns put
a dozen of the insects i'll Il cage together
and obtain a continuous illumination
bright enough to read by. This light is
accompanied by no Perceptible heat, and
is seemingly produced with no expendl-
ture Of energy. How great an improve
ment it represents upon all known arii-
fetal lights can be imagined when it is
stated that in candle light, lamp light
or gas light the waste is more than 80
per cent.-American Analyst.

childhood than any other sort of doll, is

The Man with n Mouth.

! love the man who knows it all,
From east to west, from north to SOUTH
Who knows all things, both great and small,
And tells it with his tireless mouth;
Who holds a listening world in awe
The while he works his iron jaw
Ofttimes in evenings holy calm,
When twilight softens sight and sound
And zephyr breathes a perfect psalm,
This fellow brings his mouth around
With its long gallop that can tire
The eight day clocks impatient ire.
His good, strong mouth He wields it welli
He works it just for all it's worth.
Not Samson's jawbone famed could tell
Such mighty deeds upon the earth.
He pulls the throttle open wide
And works her hard on every side.
Good Lord, from evils fierce and dire
Save us each day-from fear and woe,
From wreck and flood, from storm and fire,
From sudden DEATH from secret foe,
From blighting rain and burning drouth-
And from the man who plays his mouth.

A Song of Liberty.

n f'ohS VI hipt'ty'
Across the land from strand to strand
Loud ring the bugle notes,
And Freedoms smile, from isle to isle,
Like Freedoms banner, floats.
The velvet wales sing Liberty"
To answering skies serene;
The mountains sloping to the sea
Wave all their flags of green
The rivers dashing to the deep
Still echo loud and long,
And all their waves in glory leap
To one immortal songl
One song of liberty and life
That was and Is to be
Till tyrant flags are trampled rags
And all the world is freel
One song-the nations hail the notes
From sounding sea to sea
And answer from their thrilling throats
That song of liberty!
They answer, and echo comes
From chained and troubled isles
And roars like oceans thunder drums
Where glad Columbia smiles.
Where, crowned and great, she sits in state
Beneath her flag of stars,
Her hero's blood the sacred flood
That crimsoned all its bars!
Hail to our countryl Strong she stands
Nor fears the war drums beat;
The sword of freedom in her hands,
The tyrant at her feet!

If we sit down at set of sun
And count the things that we have done,
And counting find
One self denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then we may count the day well spent.
But if through all the livelong day
We've eased no heart by yea or nay;
If through 1t all
We've done no thing that we can trace
That brought the sunshine to face;
No act, most small,
That helped n soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost.

Beneath the drowsy apple trees,

That lure the booming bees.
The Indian carrots round 1t nod
Among the tiger lilies tall,
And seas of dreaming goldenrod
About 1t rise and fall.

Beneath the berry vines unto
A woodland cool and still,
Where friskily squirrel gray,
Through shadows softly DER it thrown,
Goes lopiag on his merry way
From messy stone to stone.

A little tear and a little smile
Set out to run race;
We watched them closely all the while:
Their course was baby's face.
The little tear he got the start;
We really feared he'd win;
He ran so fast and made dart
Straight for her dimpled chin.
But somehow-it was very queer;
We watched them all the while
The little shining, fretful tear
Got beaten by the smile.

GEL MS IN VERSE.



When all the world to him is bright
And he's from trouble free,
In everything he takes delight;
An optimist is lie.
But let a cloud bcdm his SKY
And thorns beset his way,
The ready tear comes to his eye:
To woe he is II prey.
The world is dark that erst looked bright,
And everything atwist
In human life; there's nothing right;
He is pessimist.
When there is sunshine in his sky
And fortunes smiles are bland,
He meets you with beaming eye,
With kindness grasps your hand.
When fortune turns on him her frown
And shows him her i'll will,
He seems not to the world cast down;
His mien is cheerful still.
He meets life's ills with courage strong,
And with heart to fight
Rolls up his sleeves when things 20 wrong
And works to set them right

To be faithless oft means to be faithful;
To be false often means to be true;
The vale that loves clouds that are golden
Forgets them for skies that are blue.
To forget often means to remember
What we had forgotten too long;
The fragrance is not the bright flower,
The echo is not the sweet song.
