A DEFENSE OF THE LIAR.

The Position In Society, Politics and Con-
mcrsc Of the prcvaricator.
For many years the wise men have in
sisted upon the importance and beauty
of truth. We read that all the glorious
and lovely productions of the arts de-
pend upon the truth as upon a solid and
enduring foundation. We read that
poetry and beauty rest upon the con-
genial substance of truth rs statue
upon its pedestal. But the man has not
as yet arisen who has given the other
side of the question justice or yielded due
praise to the efforts and worth of liars.
We respect and rs-ere the truth. We
adhere to it in theory and in pract,ce-a
thing rare in the adhercnts of mere
op:nions-but we believe in justice
though the heavens fall, and in all the
good, old fashioned axioms. In all
truth. however, to speal; paradoxically,
the liar, as an element Of practical adj
vancement, has been too long ignored.
It is time that the pen and the brush
should do him homage.
Who sets the great enterprises afioat:
Who is the originator of vast invest
ments and the instigator Of magnificent
projects:
The liar.
Who is it that floats the bonds, dis
counts corporations and consultations:
Who is it that has settled the wild
lands of the west and made Uncle Sam

The liar.
Who is it that originates "bocms" and
distributes capital from the unwary TO
the wise:
Who is it that makes wildcat mines
successful and sets a prize upon human
ingenuity:
Who is it that gives the impulse to pol
itics and the trend 20 political economy:
The liar.
The liar has as many gUises as Porteus.
Anon he wishes to make your fortune,
and again he wants TO borrow dollar.
But he is always pleasant, affable,
agreeable, whether engaged in the sole.

rh,r,y-threc Years without Food.

A queer story, and one which readers
would do well 10 thoroughly salt give
j. more than the proverbiai grain before
swallowing, comes with first class rec
o,nmendation all the way from Eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in 1880. Il
member Of the Chaplin family died at
Bianl.ney. Lincolnshire, and was laid in
the family tomb. This particular Chap
lin was a naturalist, and among his
other pets had a large gray bat. That
bat was permitted to enter the tomb and
was sealed MP alive along with thecorpse
Of his dead master. In 1866 the vault
was opened, and to the surprise of al
the bat was alive and fat. On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chapiins havr
looked after the welfare of their dea
relatives pet. and each time it has been
reported that the bat was still in tie
land of the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was last
eeen IN 1S92.-St. Louis Republic.

BE Practical In the Sicxroom.
Two or three years ago the Prince and
Princess of Wales distributed badges
and prizes to large number of profess
sional nurses ard afterward entertained
them royalty at Marll~&oUgh House. 1t
was expected that fashionable DANES
would show their appreciation of the
royal example by taking up nursing as
recreation. but little was done until
few months ago, when the National
Health society opened classes for the
benefit OF the aristocracy, at which
something more is taught than n coGuet-
fish arrangement of caps and aprons.
The idea is TO teach ladies the value of
good nursing and enable them to learn
something about fit food for invalids and
how to give first assistance to the in
jured, iii all OF which, it seems, duch-
esses. countesses and the like are Ia
mentally deficient.
The Duchess of Bejiforli is particularly
active i,lfhc work. She has placed her
| fine house in Be!gravc square at the dis
posal Of the scciety's lectures on every
| "Wednesday during the winter season,
and, as the course includes an afternoon
tea, tine attendance is expected to be
large. The proceedings should certainly
be interesting, as it is announced that
each lecture will be practically Illus
t:atcd with a patient, bedding, ETC."
The pioneer among the aristocracy of
nursing and sanitation was Lady Brooke,
who. with her husband, enjoys the par
! ticular friendship of the Prince OF Wales.
Fer ladyship has for years been accus-
toned 10 keep q sharp eye on the water
