Sad Mistake OF Horsethlef Hunters on

"The most pathetic scene ever wit
nessed," says Judge r. L. Cawthorn, OF
Texas, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
''was third of q century ago, but it is
as plain to my eyes to-day as y was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you
know what that means in a wild coun-
try. A crowd Of us started out after
the scoundrels, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsemen off to the left who acted sus-
piciously. After them we went, and it
was a pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind clump Of trees.
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight of them again we found
that one horse had been shot and they
had deserted him, while both were rid

Lofty Mountain Lakes.

The most lofty-situated lakes are
found among the Himalaya mountains
in Thibet. Their attitudes do not, how
ever, seem 10 have been very accurately
.gauged, for different authorities give
widely different hguresregarding them.
According TO some, Lake Manasarovara,
one Of the sacred lakes Of Thibet, is
between $4,000 and 10000 feet above the
level Of the sea, and fthis is so IL Is un-
denbtedly the loftiest in the world.
Two other Thibetan lakes, those Of
Chatamoo and Surakol, are said TO be
1900 and 15,4oo feet In altitude re
spectively. For long time 1t was sup
posed that Lake Titicaca, in South
America. was the loftiest In the world.
II covers about $500 square miles, h
924 feet in It's greatest depth and Is
1900 feet above the sea. In spite
Of inexactitude with regard TO the
measurements of the elevation Of the
Thibetan lakes, they are no doubt con
siderably higher than this or any others

yIellant Chemists.

Adulteration is bad and sanitation is
good, but some Of the results shown by
vigilant inspectors and clever chemists
in their efforts TO show the frightful
dangers that surround us and run down
offenders against sanitary laws are very
funny. A Awholesale and highly respect
able grocer was tried in London court
few days ago for selling tartaric acid
adulterated with lead. The acid was
used in making lemonade, and the lead
in it got there from the vessels in which
it was manufactured. The prosecution
showed that the tarti ric acid contained
.0OO20 per cent. Of Is l. The defense
showed that in order TO get twentieth
part of a grain Of the poison into ones
system IL would be necessary TO drink
lemonade every day for six months al
the rate of 800 bottles day. The ex
perts added gravely that before tho
twentieth part of grain could be talier
In that manner the experimenter woult
die Of dyspepsia. The charge was dis
missed, but TO satisfy the sanitary Off
cials the Judge agreed TO ''state a case,
presumably as warning TO other evil
| doers.

IlEE,s ASPIRATION.
Arts Proper Place in the Education Oh

Arts Proper Place in the Education OF
People.
The intellectual aspiration OF peo-
ple cannot in truth be held to be EN-
bodied in its literature, whether 1t be
the prose or poetry Of imagination or
the recorded investigation Of its philos-
ophers or its scientists, says writer In
scribner's Magazine. No matter how
widespread may be the diffusion OF
knowledge, no matter how multiplied
NAV be the means Of instruction, so
that the printed book may be in the
hands of every citizen, there yet re-
mains the fundamental need OF the in
tuitive absorption of an intelligence
through the eyes.
Nor is this by any means confined TO
him who, having opportunities OF edu'
cation placed before him, neglects TO
avail himself Of his privileges; the
student lifts his study-dimmed eyes
from the printed page and receives
through another sense vision which
uplifts him in another, but no les'
i
greater, manner above the momentarJ
and material accidents OF life.
The world has long recognized thii
truth, and throughout political vicissi
tudes, through social and economi
changes, it had held it to be part o
civilized life, without which 1t woul'
retrograde toward the save who, ono
his stomach filed, sleeps. France
where many things are managed "be'
ter" has always managed this part'cr
larly well.
At least from the Gascon king who
practical spirit, not only wished ever
Frenchman to have his poule au po
but who made his Paris, his France
beautiful, down to NJ. Garnet, und'
whose reign we have seen the ne
Sorbonne built and decorated, u
usefulness of beauty has been recoI
nized.

A man who met with shipwreck of
the coast Of Cuba and had 70 take TO an
open boat, tells Of the peculiar halluci-
nation, called by sailors the Paradise
craze" buought on by exposure TO the
terrific heat OF the suns rays. He says:
''The sea appeared to be transformed
into a mighty meadow, bright with
flowers and musical with song OF birds.
Cool springs burst from crystal rocks
and tricirlod over golden sands, and
mon and maidens danced beneath the
trees. They seemed beclsoning me to
join them, and plunged over the side
Of the boat into forty fathoms OF brine.
The bath brought me 10 my senses, and
/ reached the Cuban coast more dead
than alive. The mania is Of frequent
occurrence In tropical seas and Is
often referred TO by the pcn's."

ORIGIN OF cAKE-wALKINo.

A PastIme Formerly Confined TO the
Cornfeld.
The practice of cake-welkinp, or
walking for prizes, originated in the
south during the old slavery days, says
the New York World. In those days 1t
was called dance and always took
place at corn-husking or quilting
party. They used to give them in the
open air by candle light, under the old
system Of burning fat and cotton bat
ting in tin pan, so that everything
could go on joyfully.
This made strange but after all a
pleasant light, as 1t fiickered among the
cornstalks and the green trees. The
walking took place usually in corn
field after the grain had been stripped
from the stalks. The costumes worn
were odd and very different from those
which may be seen at any OF the mod
ern cake-wallxs in the city OF New York.
The women used TO wear in the corn
Geld gingham dresses and odd clothes,
and the men wore cornsack trousers,
with one leg rolled up and the Other
| pulled down.

WIDOWS of INDIA.
After Their HusbandS' Death They Art

After Their Husbands' Death They Art
Subjected to Much worriment.
Among the many sad things connect
ed with the lives of women in India,
nothing is more pitiable than the STATE
of the poor little widows, says the
Youths Companion. A child-wife, only
six or seven years old, is regarded by
her husbands family as the cause, more
or less direct, Of his death. She Ia
treated at best with dislike, and often
with great harshness and severity.
Therefore the death of young wife
before her husband is the cause of great
rejoicing among her friends that she
has thus escaped widowhood.
They are convinced that the gods
have favored her, and that she has been

births and deaths through which every
Hindu passes on his way to final perfec-
ton. The prayer of every little girl

girl and woman after marriage is thai
she may never become widow.
The preservation Of husband'I
health is matter of the greatest i'm
portance, and on certain day OF th'
