His Visit Was Brief.

From the New York World.
certain lady OF this city who had never
been used to the luxury OF life until after
her husband made a large sum OF money
in the real estate business moved into an
elegant house which had. among other con-
veniences a fine bath room, says the In
dianopOls Sentinel. 1t was her pride and
every visitor was Informed about the bath
room. Guests who came from a distance
were greeted with. Now. 1 know you are
tired and dusty after your long journey:
Just go right up to the bath room and you
can have a refreshing bath at once" This
worked well in most cases, but one day she
made a mistake. She went to the door one
warm summer afternoon to find a young
gentleman friend OF her husbands from
Louisville, and she took II for granted
that he was going to stay all night. SO her
first words after shaking hands with MIN
were: Now, you are tired and dusty after
your journey; just go right up to the bath
room; a bath will refresh you so.''
In vain the young man tried to expostu-
late; she had him by the arm and started
him up the stairway before he could get in
q word. In half an hour he came down and
took up his hat and stick. Il thank you
very much" he said; Il enjoyed the bath
very much" Then he started for the door
"Why, where are you goingT' asked his
hostess. ITO catch my train." he answered
II only had forty minutes to stay and my
bath took half an hour. 80 must hustle
now to the Chicago train" It cured. the

The Agreeable Guest.

Arrangements toward entertaining a guest,

telegram or q letter explaining that the
guest is not coming, after all, is a common
but very disappointing experience Illness
or calamity Is, of course. sufficient excuse
for alteration of plans, but nothing less can
be condoned in the woman who aspires to a
reputation for good manners
The invitation having been accepted, 1t is

Around the World.

The time required for traveller to
circle the earth has been greatly reduced
since the imaginary trip of Jules Verne's
Phileas Fogg, who succeeded in get
ting around the globe in so days in spite
of storms, shipwrecks, Indians and de-
tectives. The question how long it would
take now to go around the earth has re-
Gently been discussed III the Antwerp
Geographical society.
The answer given by NJ. e. de Keyser
was 81 days, including the loss of day
at New York, the Journey being made
eastward by way of Yokohama and San
Francisco. But in the near future this
time is likely to be cut down to 40 days
and perhaps less, through the compile
ton of the railroad across Siberia, which,
at the present rate of progress, may be
open from Europe to the Pacific in 10
years.
With the average railway speed for
long distances doubled, it is predicted
that III the coming century traveller
may be able to go around our planet in
"a days. Mouths Companion.

Temporarily Blinded by a Flash.

At the Narragansett Electric Lighting
compauy's works in this city there are
two men who have been temporarily
blinded when throwing a switch. Su-
perintendent Thomas says that this
happens in every big electric lighting
station. When a switch is thrown, the
circuit is broken. When properly done,
another connection is made simultane-
ously. The intense fash lasts until an
other connection is made. One Of the
men of the Narrangansett company s
works was so nearly blinded that he was
at home three days at one time. He was
not, however, as is said to have been the
case with Caulfeld of Brooklyn, unable
to see anything at all. He was able to
grope about, but could see nothing dis
tinctly. Both the men are remarkably
strong specimens of manhood and could
not be called hysterical by the widest
stretch of the imagination. 1t is believed
here that the cases mentioned are OF
physical inability solely.-PrOvidence

A NEGRO PLAYS SPOOK.
Niddlepoint Residents Lay the Ghost Which
Has Disturbed Them.

1t turns out that the spook that has
been making life a burden for the citi-
zens Of Middlepoint, O., and the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad
men is human being, and colored
person at that. Tie citizens Of that place
were determined 10 solve the mystery,
and reward of $50 was offered 10 any
one who would spend a night at the
water station and capture the ghostly
specter. Failing TO find any one who
would undertake the task, they appoint
ed a committee 60 investigate.
Thursday night the committee, which
was composed of three men, two shot
guns, one revolver and brace of bull
dogs, started for the water station and
secreted themselves in the pumphouse.
They watched in silence until about IL
O'Clock, when man was seen making
his way across field to the station. He
ensconsed himself behind the water tank
and prepared for his work by placing
sheet over his head and football that
had been painted white in his left hand.
He had not long to wait for victim. A
young man was returning from spell
ing match with his best girl, and when
they We're within 90 feet of the station
the spook noiselessly made its way TO
the railroad and stationed itself between
the rails. The sight of the specter was
too much for the young mans nerves, and
he made break across the field, leaving
the young lady TO look out for herself.
At this point the committee swooped
down upon the spook and captured it
after a chase of half a mile. The sheet
was removed, and the spook was recog-
nized as George BARLEY, a colored man.
The committee started back to town with
their prisoner, two Of them carrying the
arsenal and the third leading the cap
tured spook. Before reaching town Bart
ley succeeded in breaking away from his
captors and started for the woods Sew
eral shots We're fired after him. 1t is not
known whether they took effect, as after
reaching the woods he gave his pursuers
the slip. The committee returned to
town and reported their capture. Some
of the citizens are in doubt about the
capture, but the story is generally be-
heved, as the committee have in their
possession sheet and white football as
evidence.-Lima Special.

THE GEOMETRY OF BEAUTY.
& System of Principles In Formative Art
Which Existed In Ancient Greece.


In a recent lecture before the Scien-
tific club of the Pennsylvania state coll
lege Professor OsmOnd showed that all
physical beauty is associated with sound.
color and form. which, if not the bases
of its being, are its vehicle to US. 1t is
a psychological law that the mind is
pleased with simple ratios In their most
abstract form these harmonic ratios are
pure numbers, obtained from the ele-
ments l, 2 and 3, forming the harmonic
numbers 2, 3 and 3. 1t is fact that in
sound, color and form relations gov
erned by ratios constructed from the
harmonic numbers or their simple null
tiples are pleasing. This law or fact of
mental constitution is the starting point
of the inquiry after the principle COM
mon to sound, color and form and con-
stituting in all beauty. The application
of these ratios in music has been known
from the time of PythagOras; also in
color various harmonious combinations
have wave lengths in harmonic ratio.
In obtaining beauty of form the har-
monic ratios are applied to angular mag
nitude, not TO lengths or surfaces. The
eye refers everything to vertical line
and horizontal line, constituting a right
angle. The right angle, l, is harmonical-
ly divided into parts having the ratios to
itself that the notes of the octave have to
the fundamental note The lines that so
divide the quadrant are the diagonals
of harmoic rectangles, and each of these
has curvilinear figure, the ellipse, and
three (or six inscribed triangles, all
harmonic. These harmonic rectangles,
ellipses and triangles may be put to-
gether in combinations Of infinite variety
and necessarily pleasing effect in deco
ration and sculpture and architecture.
Examples Of these are found in "The
Parthenon, - 1.-The Venus of Milo" ga
Portland Vase" etc. Drawings of Sec
tions of the eye show why beauty in
form depends on harmonic relations of
angles from the very manner in which
things are seen.
The value, financially and @sthetical-
ly, of system of principles that will
guide those engaged in all the formative
arts to the sure production of true and
pure beauty is beyond estimate. Such a
system existed i'll Greece in the three
centuries of her glorious sovereignty in
art.-Exchange.

Rees SusDend a Vendue.

Honeybees proved more than match
for 200 men at a recent public sale.
When the auctioneer who was selling
the effects of the late Charles Taylor,
near Neshaminy Falls, put 20 hives OF
bees under the hammer, an inquisitive
but imprudent youth kicked one of the
little homes occupied by about 5000
honey makers. There was instantly a
warming buzz, and out filed the bees in
companies, regiments and brigades. The
200 men scattered III as many directions,
pursued by the angry bees. Farmer
James 7. Vansant tried to pacify the
army of little brown foes, but few
stings sent him flying after his retreat
ing friends. For an hour the bees held
the situation unopposed. They then
gathered in their hive, and the sale pro-
ceeded. Bristol pa Dispatch.

SPOON GUESSING CONTEST.
The Latest Thing In Social Pastimes Bears
Heavily Upon the Hotels.


Heavily Upon the Hotels.
A guest at the Stillman arose from
the dinner table. AS he walked away
one of the walters called the manager,
and the manager approached the stran-
ger, saying, Il am sorry, sir, but you
will have to return that spoon you have
in your vest pocket.
The gentleman was very indignant
and replied: "You are making a great
fuss about a little thing This spoon
isn't valuable anyhow. Here it is
The hotel keeper remarked that the
spoon is solid silver, and that it is of
some consequence whether guests pocket
them after their meals The stranger
explained that he pocketed the article,
''not because wanted to steal it, l as
sure you,' he said. perhaps you
haven't heard anything about the latest
new game called the spoon guessing con-
test. Souvenir spoons have had their
day, and the latest fad is to collect
spoons from the big hotels in different
parts of the country. Unless hostess is
able to entertain her guests with the
new game, she might as well be out of
the world.
The man then explained that there
are a number of families in the city who
have magnificent collections of hotel
spoons; that the new game was a sort
of progressive guessing contest. A spoon
is held up in the air, and all the par
Elephants in the contest are supposed to

upon it. The person guessing it is award
ed a prize, and those who fail to get the
right name of the hotel take step back

The manager of the hotel thought the
game very interesting one to the par

around this expression considerable con-
