Vedanta philosophy is a philosophy
of Adwaita. the nonduality Of soul and
matter. The Vedantins believe that
there is no evil in the nature Of things,
but only in the way which the mind
Of man Perverts it, and the material
manifestations are but shadows Of the
eternal Ems clothed IN name and form
The attainment of and way to this absO-
lutte bliss lies through knowledge alone,
and indeed he who knows one knows
all. Thought can never transcend
thought, and all that we know of IS
thought. Names and forms are mere as
sumption, not separate from thought

Just before the Minneapolis sailed
from Philadelphia for the trip which
proved 50 successful, DR.. B. Estanis-
laus ZebalIos, the Argentine Repub-
lies minister to this country who had
been invited &c GO along as a guest,
walked up the gang plank in Cramps
ship yard with a servant. He was
shown to the room which had been

Of the crude condition Of the cruiser,
consequent upon her trial trip, he
found plainly furnished. He also dis
covered that the president of the
trial board and Chairman Cummings
Of the house committee on naval af-
fairs had state rooms that were some
what more roony and better situated
but no better furnished
Dr. Zeballus at once declared that
in his capacity minister to the
United States from the Argentine Re-
public he could not accept any accom-
modations on the ship which were
not equal to those assigned to any
other person, and he made a request
for better room. 1t was impossible
for Captain Sargent TO find such nc
commodation or to turn Mr.. Cummings
or any other official out of the quar-
ters to which he had been assigned.
DR.. ZeballOs declared that, under
these circumstances, he could not ac-
company the ship on the trip and
would leave forthwith. The officials
Of the Cramp company expressed their
regret very politely, and DR.. Zeballos.

General P1easonton's Charmed L.i6as
The late General Augustus James
F1easonton was the older Of two distin-
guished brothers, both Of whom were
born in Washington and both Of whom
were graduates Of West Point The old
er brother, who passed away at the age
of So years, enjoyed distinction in late
years chiefly because Of his published
writings on the subject of fthe inf1u-
ence Of the blue color Of the sky in
developing animal and vegetable life''
and his many experiments to prove the
correctness Of his favorite ''blue glass
theories
The other brother, General Alfred
PleasOnton, achieved even greater dis
tinction because Of his long and valua-
bic services in the United States army.
He made an excellent record in the Mex
lean war was famous Indian fighter,
and in the war of the rebellion he divid-
ed honors with the greatest of the cav
airy leaders I have often heard Con-
fedeFates tell interesting stories about
the wonderful bravery and daring ex-
posure of person which caused General
ALI Pleasonton to be marked among the
soldiers of the rebel army as having a
charmed life, - because for a long time
their sharpshooters found it impossible
to pick him OF. no matter how good
their aim, and at last they virtually
gave up the idea of striking him because
they believed he had a charmed life. -

ONE OF PLATES SOLDIERS
The Man who Thrust His Lance Into
Christ's Side.

The Man who Thrust His Lance Into
Christ's Side.
The name of the soldier who pierced
Christ's side with the spear while he
was hanging on the cross has been
preserved in the legendary lore Of the
church as Longinus. This man was
one of the soldiers appointed to keep
guard at the cross, and it is said that
he was converted by the miracles
which attended the crucifxion. The
legend even goes further. declaring
that he was one of the company of
watchers set to guard the sepulcher,
and that he was the only one who re-
fused to be bribed TO say that the
body of our Savior had been
stolen by the disciples. For
his fidelity to , this great truth
PLATE resolved upon his destruc-
ton On this account Longinus left
the army to devote his entire time to
spreading the gospel; but he did this
without first getting permission from
the government of Judea or from
Rome. He, and two fellow soldiers
whom he had converted, retired to
Cappadocia, where they began to
preach the word of God. At the insti-
cation of some of the leading Jews,
however. PLATE sent out a detach-
ment Of soldiers who surprised the de-
serters, who were holding a Christian
meeting, and where they had three
crosses set up as an illustration Of the
great tragedy which had occurred but
a short while before at Jerusalem.
All three were killed and beheaded,
and their heads nailed upon the
crosses and carried back in triumph to
Jerusalem

Biography, that chimera Of the dark
room, - seems absolutely assured The
objective of this new Photographic won
der consists Of a convex lens Of consid-
cradle length of focus and a concave
lens of much shorter range. These
glasses are placed a certain distance
apart, depending on the difference of

arrangement projects an inverted image
of the object for which it is set a long

The apparent size Of the object depends,
Of course, upon the space separating the
