1t would be difficult to find a more in
ganuous and sincere tribute to the
tho"oughncss of an authors work than
that offered to Sir Edwin Arnold by IL
Buddhist priest, and recorded by the
writer "a Girls Winter in India" She
says:
One of the priests volunteered to
show us the temples ut Kalauie, where
the life and work OF Buddha were rude
ly pictured in bright colors on the
walls.
After n struggle to conquer English
words. which l thought would cause
his sudden death, the yellow priest, cx-
hnustcd from his labors, drew n dis
consolatc breath, and pointing to the
still unexplained pictures and sculp-
lures OF his master, Buddha, said:
LADY know repeat Edwin Arnold;
lady know repeat cccryt&iR9."
Which meant that tho Light Of
'hsia," containing Buldha's life.hi3-
tory, would relieve the poor monk of
future efforts to enlightcn us.-Youth's

a Good Story OF n Fad Check.

A pretty good story is told of q check
for fouc hundred dollars drawn by q
prominent Newton gentlemen. In his
haste the maker Of tho innocent little
piccc of paper neglected to place his
signature upon it. The oversight was,
first, not observed by the gentleman
receiving it in the discharge Of an obi
cation; in the second place, the iinpor-
tant omission was not perceived when
the paper was deposited in Il bank not
many miles outside of this city; in the
third place, the Boston bank which
acts rs correspondent for tic country
institution did not discover the error.
and, i'll the fourth, the grcatand c~rttical
Boston clearing house did not even dis
cover the error. In other words, it
passed through all tho banks until the
clerk OF the BOSTON bank for which il
was drawn was called upon to inspect
ltS signature in order to ascertain
whose account the amount was to be
dcoltcd from and found the signature
missing. The story seems hardly crcdi-
ole, but it is u fact-Newton journal.

AN ORIGINAL WALKING MAIcn

E2FFE@4Ew GaENE ShFGaS .
Two Men walked 10s Miles In Eisna
Days Carrying . WEIGHT OF @Oo
Pounds.
The recent walking match from Far
ia TO Rheims was sufficiently original
r. have notice drawn to 1t. Each or
the walkers, Cochard and Berteaux'
carried upon his shoulders a q SO
wen filled that it weighed 100 kilo-
grammes, more than 200 Engilsl
mounds. The distance between Pafls
md Rheims is 172 kilometres-about
1OS miles. s
The two men got over the grounu
in eight days, and one was only q ut.1e
behind the other when the march was
concluded. They are both worknlen at
Rheims; but the elder, who was peat
en- apparently because in the cary
part Of the contest he did not take ad-
vantage of his ability to do with less
sleep than the other, is a weaver, ~
therefore it could not have been MS
occupation that developed his muscles.
Strange to say that it was not the IA
tigue Of the shoulders that tired them
most, but the swelling and soreness OF
the feet. a.,
1t will be allowed that to walk Is
miles a day for eight consecutive
days with a weight of ovcr 200 pounds
upon the shoulders is rather severe
trial of human strength and endurance.
The French are certainly showing
what they can do in the way OF attn
letic performances, and the results
have astonished a good many people
lately.-Toronto Empire.

4 -Photographing in colors has been sue
cessfuIly accomplished in Berlin. The
method is based upon the fact that oil
effects Of light proceed from three pri-
nnary colors, yellow, red and blue. BY
means Of colored screens or by dyeing
the Photographic plates three negatives
are obtained of the same object, each
shaang sensitive to light only Of one Of
the primary colors. It seems wonder
ful that, with all the range Of hues
and tints perceived by the eye, a print
Ing Of three simple colors is all that
Is required to give the necessary effect.
The reason why three impressions are
sufacient to produce the natural colors
of an object in all their delicacy Of tint
and shading proceeds from the fact
chat every portion OF each primary col

Pacing The Deck.

Life In Ajaccio, accoding to the au-
thor of Studies in Corsica" is some
thing like that on board ship. The city
square is the deck, the clearinghouse
corresponds to the saloon, the coffee
house is the smoking-room. Private
houses serve merely as .-berths for
sleeping and rest. a great deal Of
walking is done by the residents, but
it consists in pacing slowly backward
and forth over a limited extent of
ground.
A hundred yards Of promenade, or
even less, will suffice. The pedestrian,
if he is engaged in conversation, stops
often, with the EXPLANATIONS: 49,
Hold! Listen!"" n That's just what
I say!"
At an interesting point in his story he
taps his companion on the breast, and
stands facing him for five minutes ut
a tine, ~discoursing fuently. n

dent was commenting on this peculiar
ity to a number of Corsicans.

An Important Event.

Americans r not the only people
who show an undue reverence for q
lordly title. The author of Around
and About South America" tells Of
his visit to Stanley, Falkland Islands,
the southermost town on the globe,
where an incident convinced him that
a name sometimes equals an event.
The decidedly English expression Of
the town is greatly heightened upon
going on shore, where I land upon O
small jetty, at whose extremity stands
a pyramidal brick and stone monu-
ment, bearing on a tablet the rather
inexpensive communication, alfred,
oath February, 1874"
Knowing that many nations had at
different times claimed possession of
these islands. and that several conflicts
had resulted. it was but natural to sup
pose that this proud pile distinguished
the spot where some British Horatius
Coolies had, single-handed, repealed the
landing cutters of several French or
Spanish men-of-war, and that his ap-
preclat1ve cOuntrymen had thus made
the fact known to such of the great
world as might by accident stray thith-
er.
The very first citizen I met I begged
to tell me more of this brave, this
doughty Alfred, apologizing, of course.

SOOthsaying.

In ancient times every monarch and
prince, great or little, kept his sooth-
savers, or at least had recourse to
some person who pretended to read
the future in the stars or somewhere
else. We have still persons who as
sumo to be able to foreten the future
but the great difference between past
ages and the present in this regard
is that then the great and often wise
men Of the earth believed in the sooth-
sayers, while now only the foolish and
feeble have any confidence in them.
The decline in the credit and honor
Of soothsaying dates in a considerable
measure, perhaps, from q certain per.
Torrance of John Galeazzo, duke OF
Milan. He, too, had a soothsayer.
One day the reader Of the stars came
to him and said:
MY lord, make haste to arrange
your earthly affairs"
"Apd why SHAH I do that?" asked
the duke.
Because the stars tell me that you
have not longer to live"
Indeed! And what do the stars tell
you about your own lease Of life"
asked Duke John.
'"They promise me many years more
of life."
"Tney do?'
$50 I have read them, my lord"
well, them" said the duke, 1T ap'
pears that the stars know very little
about these things, for you will be
hanged within half an hour"
He sent the soothsayer to the gal
lows with promptness, and lived many
years afterward himself. S%tar-readine
fell into disuse in Milan from that
time.

the Partisan specialist. instantaneous
pictures have been taken Of patients.

Of being h%ypnotized. The condition Is

the sight Of a diamond. Other photo
graphs present patients in various leth-

of the most remarkable OF these photo
graphs shows h~ysterical contraction,
and In this a strange phenomenon Is
apparent. One OF the middle fingers OF
the patient reaches far over on the
wrist. Under hypnotization the patient

frightening the middle finger abnor-
