The Noisy NIansIcn of Learning in the
 Days of the Long Ago.
 The old system of education, as de- scribed in Pleasant Memories of a Busy Life," is one, doubtless, that many boys of the present day would like to see again in use. The author thought it's chief advantage was in giving the teacher fair field for in fuencing his pupils with his own per sonality. He described his old teacher as learned but not pedantic, kind but not effusive, active but not fussy. Wherever there was suffering, wher- ever help was required, he was sure to find his way"
 In his school there was novery strict discipline, but on the contrary good deal of noise. It was "a noisy man. sion." But he was so pleasant himself, and made the work so pleasant, that pupils could not help learning. Being near him seemed to make them wiser and better. It was an instance of what Carlyle calls true education, ''soul coming in contact with soul"
 Che of the greatest luxuries he en- joyed was to find some of his pupils able and willing to take up the higher branches. His leisure hours were de- voted most heartily to them. He stayed after the usual school time to teach them Euclid and trigonometry. He led them out on the Saturdays along the shore, through the quarries and up the Binn, to teach them geology. He 1,s 1f evening to see the stars through his telescope.
 The only examination was the yearly one by the presbytery, and it was so purely matter of form that it was not an ordeal. The examiners, genial brotherhood, sat beaming approval of everything, and went away with easy conscience and sound appetites to the dinner which pleasantly closed up the proceedings.

AN AUTUMN REVERE.
The Happy Bride Was Entranoed b

The Happy Bride Was Entranoed by
 Nature and So Was John.
 1t was in the month of October and they had been married four weeks. Four blissful weeks they had been to her in that lovely country house among the quiet hills, says the Detroit Free Press.
 Day after day the autumn sun had been painting the trees in wondrous shades of tints, and now the mountains were great banks of rich maroon, and the valleys, flowing silently between, OCT streams ot grass-green waves and scarlet foam.
 This afternoon she sat with him on the long, low piazza and gazed dream fly on the lovely picture spread be- fore.
 At first she talked to him sitting there so comfortable in his great rus tic chair, but her voice grew softer and softer until it died away in whispers and she was still.
 The mystic, restful touch of the sweet October days was upon her, and it was blissful peace to sit idly in the sun and look upon the beauties of the scene-silent she, as it was.
 The old life of her girlhood had gone and she stood upon the threshold of this new life-this wondrous hall of womanhood, extending far, far before her, as were the valleys spread below the mountainside.
 There was upon her soul the inef- fable calm of autumn time, and the magic of the afternoon fascinated her
 And it was not for her alone, but him; this man who now was part and parcel of her life.
 He, too. she felt, must feel the rap turous thrill, the weird and witching spirit of the hour.
 "John," she whispered, softly, as the hum of bee that knocks at the door of every honeyed flower.
 But John did not respond.
 An, he too, is clothed in this charm, she thought.
 "John," she said, again, this time with eager tone, as if to call him from his reverie and share with her the raphsody that moved her very soul.
 But to her ears no answer came to lay its soft response upon her heart.
 John was sound asleep.

ELECTRICITY oNTHE PYRAMIDS
How Arab Guides Were Frightened by
 Party of Scientists.


 In his autobiography the late Sir W. Siemens relates the following anec- dote: An Arab called his attention to the fact that when at the top of the pyramid of Cheops, when he raised his hand with fingers outSpread an acute singing note was heard, the sound ceasing as soon as he let his hand fall. ''I found his assertiOn,' he writes, ito be true. As soon as l raised one of my own fingers above my head I felt a priclling in the fingers. That this could only be caused by an electrical phenomenon was proved by the slight electric shock felt on trying to drink out of wine bottle.
 ''So wrapped full bottle of wine that had with me in the damp paper, and thus converted it into Leyden bottle, which was soon strongly charged with electricity by the simple device of holding it high above my head. The Arabs had already become distrustful on seeing small lightnings, as it were, issue from the wine bottles held up by myself and companions, and 
 denly, at a given signal, each of my companions was seized by the guide who had led him up, who now tried to force him to go down again.
 T myself was standing at the very top of the pyramid when the sheik of the Arabs came to me and told me through my interpreter that the Arabs had determined that we were to leave the pyramid because we were prac- ticing magic and it might damage their chance of their earning living. On my refusing to obey orders the sheik caught hold of my left hand. had awaited this moment, and I held up my right hand with the bottle in the attidude of magician, afterward lowering it slowly toward the point of the sheik's nose.
 ''When quite close to that feature I felt violent shock run through the bottle to my own arm, and was certain that the sheik must have received the equivalent. At any rate, he fell sense less on the stones, and a few anxious moments passed before he rose suddenly with loud cry and sprang down the gigantic steps of the pyramid with long strides. The Arabs, seeing this and excited by tEe sheilz's constant cries of Magic! magicr released my companion and followed their leader, leaving us complete masters of the pyramid"

LondoR's Lord Mayor Is a Gorgeous Crea-
 fure When ArraYcd h His Robes.

LondoR's Lord Mayor Is Gorgeous Crsa-
 ture When Arraycd ia His Robes.
 The fountain of municipal honor in England undoubtedly springs from the Guildhall, London, which justly claims to be accounted the most an- cient of our municipal halls, seeing that the lord mayors of the last eight centuries are with justice assumed to have had prototypes in the Roman prefect and the Saxon fortreye or port grave. For considerable number of years, says the London Telegraph, the robes of the lord mayor, the court of aldermen, and the common councillors have been settled with precision that none save the most reckless of inno- vators would presume to disturb.
 The lord mayor himself has his "gold" robe for the occasion of the an- nual Guildhall banquet, and for the times when he proceeds in state either to the new law courts or to the houses of parliament. The aldermen have their scarlet gowns, the sheriffs their distinctive and very handsome robes and chains, while the common coun- cilors rejoice in gowns called "mazar- ines" it being generally understood that mazarine is term for a dark blue color, although, according to some photographers, mazarine also means a drinking vessel and an old way of dressing fowls. Then, again, when the sovereign comes into the city the lord mayor is bound to don a robe of crimson CT purple velvet trimmed with ermine. At the time of his investi- ture he wears a massive gold chain, but when he is honored by reelection at the expiration of his term of office he wears two chains.
 The mace of silver gilt, surmounted by royal crown and the imperial arms, is carried before the mayor by the authority of the charter of Edward III., while the city possesses no less than four swords-one called the pearl, pre- sented by Queen Bess when she opened the first royal exchange, and so called from its being richly set with pearls. The sword precedes the chief magis- trate on all occasions of rejoicing and festivity. The sword of state is car ried before the lord mayor as an em- blem of his sovereignty within the city proper; the black sword is used on fast days in Lent and at the death of any member of the royal family, while the fourth sword is that placed close to the lord mayors chair at the central criminal court.

Floral 5IyRterY.

The Chinese. Japanese and Siamese are peculiarly sl1illful at botanical feats. One of their wonderful achieve ments is known as the ''changeable rose" This bloom is white in the shade ard red in the sunlight. After night CT in dark room this curiosity of the rose family is q pure waxy white blossom. When transferred to the open air the transformation immedi- ately steps in, the time of the entire change of the flower from white to the most sanguine of all sanguine hues depending on the degree of sunlight and warmth. First, the petals take on kind of washed or faded blue color, and rapidly change to a faint blush of pink. The pink gradually deepens iil hue until you find that your hlF-white rose of an hour before is as red as the reddes5 peony that ever blooned.

Havana Tobacco.

In the Abajo valley is a small, low piece of country, about five miles from Havana, capableof producing tobacco enough to make thirty thousand cigars annually. Without question, the to- bacco is the finest grown. The result is the kings and noblemen of England, Russia, Germany, France and other Eu- ropean countries gobble them up. Every single cigar made of Vuelta Abajo tobacco is sold to them at prices ranging from twenty to one hundred and fifty dollars hundred. These cigars are bought and paid for long before the crop is ever harvested. Manufacturers, however, with that re- markable coolness with which some men are endowed, proceed to call all qualities and kinds of Cuban cigars Havana and Vuelta Abajo, when half of them never saw cigar of that growth.

4 CLEVER BOSTON GIRL.
Even 0 Chicago Hackman Was Paralyzed
 by Her Financial Operations.


 by Her Financial Operations.
 The Chicago hacAman is supposed to be endowed with full allowance ot the smartness peculiar to men in his profession, but a Boston girl is cred ited with getting the best of him. The hackman himself tells the story, says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. His name is Johnson, and his business during the summer has been mainly in the service of the guests in the dormi- tories of the Chicago university. Johnson has run daily excursions for them through twenty-five mile drive for one dollar,
 Within two days after her arrival Johnson took the Boston young woman out as one of his morning party She occupied the seat with him and piled him with questions. On the following day when he called for passengers Johnson noticed this Boston girl flying around in a lively way. Soon she came to him and wanted to know how much he would charge to take forty persons up to the center of town and back for an evening reception. He gave his figures, and then she went shopping
 The next day she told Johnson she could get the work done for twenty. well take the job at that figure, She preferred his rigs, she said, because they looked nicer than any she had seen elsewhere. Johnson took the job, and on the evening appointed the young woman marshaled out her forty people. They were in evening dress and full of gayety. Suddenly the Boston young woman SD oke out: ''We may not all get together when we come back and may be very tired. Suppose I collect the fares now and be done with it?''
 She did so, and each person paid her one dollar for the evenings transpor. tation. She quickly counted out twenty-eight dollars and gave it tc Johnson, and placing twelve dollars in her own purse rode to the event ng's reception with satisfied smile and a most charming affability. Three days later she did the same thing over again. As she put the twelve dollars in her purse Johnson scratched his head and says he muttered: "Well, I'll be d-r
 The next time he proposed a di. vision of the spells. She eyed him for a minute, saw that he was in earnest, gave him four dollars out of the twelve, and after that they did business on this basis. She got up sightseeing parties inside the fair, theatrical parties. lecture parties, made scores of friends, and at every move seemed to add to her purse. Sc we'll did she succeed that she had two months at the fair and went home with one hundred dollars in her pocket.
 Johnson says he has travelled about good bit, his last excursion of impor. tance being a trip to the Paris expo sition, but he never saw person who could do up" Chicago hackmen as that Boston girl did.

HlGH-PITCHED VOICES.
One Result of Incessart Din on the Streets
 of the French Capital.

One Result of Incessant Din on the Streets
 of the French Capital.
 Have you ever noticed how sonorous and high-pitched are the tones of voice of the average Parisian? asks corre- spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. It is apparently impossible for them to modulate it, and even when they impart secrets to you they do so in whisper so loud that, like the so- called stage whisper, it reaches the ear not only of the person to whom the confidence is addressed but also of hundreds of people besides. This is attributable to the fact that Paris is probably the noisiest city of the old world, and that the people here are obliged to talk and whisper in an ex- ceptionally loud tone in order to make themselves heard at all. The noises are bewildering in their variety, and the din is unceasing. To begin with, the omnibus traffic of Paris is very large, and the Paris omnibus is some thing that must be seen and heard in order to appreciate it's ponderous size and weight. It is very much as if one of the big New York surface cars were placed on ordinary wheels and pro- vided with double row of seats on the roof, with couple Of ample starr cases leading up thereto. Imagine this numbering along, heavily laden, behind three big Percheron horses, harnessed abreast, with occasionally a fourth Zen heche,'' over the old cobblestone road ways that are still the rule and not the exception in Parisian streets. Beside the din made by these omnibuses and their drivers, who seem to consider it absolutely necessary to crack their whips as loudly as possible at least ten times in every minute, there are all kinds of other atrocious noises to which the police have hitherto affected to turn deaf ear. From early morning until late at night the streets are par aded by itinerant noise-makers of every species of trade, each of whom has his own particular cry, and it is not an un- common thing for a dozen of these screamers to pass given point in one hour, each yelling at the top of his voice. There are the window-menders, the umbrella tinkers, the knife-grinder with his bell, the chairmenders with their shrill trass horns, the beer and wine-tap vendors, who play an exas- perating, ear-piercing tune on m in- strument of their own invention fash toned out of tap; there is the sten- torian-voiced purchaser of old wine casks, who intones the awful word "Tonneaux!'' in such a manner as to render it audible for half mile or more, and numerous other cries of the same nature which it would take too long to enumerate here. The new pre- feet of police has determined, I under stand, to put stop to all these trade cries, except in cases where licenses have been obtained and heavily paid for.

The LamentabIe End of Dog That Ae-
 quired Taste for Liquor.
 The writer of Natural History Notes" in the Yorkshire Weekly Post. referring to the extract from Mir. Phil Robinson's new book, in which the au- thor described how. bear was lured into drunken bout, mentions some remarkable instances of taste for al- cohol among the lower animals. He says: II possessed a very fine deer hound. One day, while emptying some Scotch whisky out of jar into de- canter, split quantity on the floor. Juno, who had been snifing about, immediately began tapping it up, and, to my great astonishment, seemed to heartily relish the blend As far as l knew that was the beginning of sad and brief career. Juno became a no- torious drunkard. She frequented sev- eral public bars and was the subject of many wagers. She could drink any, thing in the liquor line-anything but water and milk.

 Little Love Wasted on Him by His Wild
 Brothers.
 It is well-known fact that wild animals and birds do not care to re- ceive back into their society a member that has lived a season with man as a pet. This was illustrated in a noisy manner out near Pleasant Ridge, ac- cording to the story told by witness to Cincinnati Times-Star reporter. "A tame crow" said he, had for sev- eral years cawed around the farmhouse of our neighbor, and was seated on a fence away out on the farm cawing when great flock of crows came along and settled in the field. The tame one grew frantic, cawing and scolding till the attention of the flock was at tract- ed to it. Rising en masse the flock circled around and alighted on the fence about the tame one, which be- came frightened and flew up. It was followed by the others, which crowd ed about it in its flight and forced it to fly farther and farther away from the farmhouse and over a great wood. There they all set on it and pecl1ed it and clawed the poor thing till its flight was marked with feathers falling. All this time they kept up terrible caw- ing and calling. They would undoubt- cdly have killed the poor bird. but il spied a man at work in the woods and dropped down to him. He proved q friend, and Jim Crow was soon perched on his shoulder cawing defiantly at hi relatives who had cast him fror among them, but who now flew to a respectful distance"

COLON THE SOUTHERN STATES
Improved Methods of Working Sulphuretl
 Open 3 Promising Field.


 There is considerable discussion just now, says the Atlanta Journal, about the prospects of gold mining in the south. It is known that there is a vast quantity of gold-bearing rock in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Though mil lions of gold have been taken out of these beds most of them have not been thoroughly worked and many of them have been merely scratched. Up to the time gold was discovered in Cali fornia there had been produced in the United States S12,S0S,575, and all ex- cept $37, $50 came from southern states.
 Nearly all the previous gold mining in the south has been conducted on methods which are. now obsolete. The improved methods of working sul- phuret ores open new prospect for gold mining in the south.
 The official figures show that up to 1892 Georgia had produced $15, ,9O2, ,26O worth of gold, North Carolina S21, ,5S5,- 844, and Virginia s, 1S9,61O. These are the official figures, but the real value of the gold product of these states has undoubtedly been much greater.
 Prof. Stone, after visit to Califor- mia in 1873, said that he was satisfied that the gold ores in the south are the richest and easiest to work in this country. Recently there have been many prospectors through the gold re- gions of the south and we look for in- creased activity in gold mining in Georgia and every other southern state where there are known to be haavU danOCifS of O01d
