A man who lives il flat near Central

A couple Of deaf mutes rented al apart
ment underneath his own and were
blessed III due season by the arrival of q
bouncing baby with an excellent pair OF
lungs. At night the little oae woke VI
nearly the entire house by its cries, hui

the tenant above, at the solicitation OF
his wife, went down stairs and fairly
forced an entrance. The deaf and dnml
couple resort to many ingenious devices
to overcome the disadvantages under
which they labor. They are unable te
hear their doorbell, SO they have al
ranged piece of colored paper upon
the gong in such way that the paper
fiEtters when the bell rings. By keep

able to receive their visitors promptly
but their inventive genius has not as yet

Advice From a King.

Kabarega. the negro king of Unyoro
in Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with a rod of iron. Like all ty
rants, he regulates their smallest actions
and host Of spies inform him Of any
disobadience to his commands.
Among other things, he has made g
fixed tariff of prices for erythine
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished
An instance Of this is given by, Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About q month after Hassan's arrival
in Upyoro he bought a fowl and paid &c
cowries for it, while the market price
was only a5. In that part Of Africa ii
takes about $50 cowries to make 81
Soon aftarward a dragoman Of the king
appeared and brought back 5 cowries,
with the message:
ga fowl costs only 25 cowries, while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him
but he sends to you the advice to be care
ful henceforth in your parchases-neve1
to give for anything more than it is
worth, first of all in your own interest
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. ~ outh's Companion.

The Secret of Success.

To be truly successful, a man must be
able to rise after failure. The general
whose campaign is commenced amid q
series of disasters, but who, neyerthe-
less, by repairing his mistakes, concen-
trating his forces and watching his OPP
portunities, carries triumph out Of de-
feat is the truly great captain. The
statesman or orator whose maiden eff
fort was covered with confusion and
ridicule, but who resolyes-in spite, OF
rather because Of this-that he will force
his opponents to hear and to respect
him shows that he is a great man. The
ability and the readiness to learn from,
failure is the secret of success.
The man who has only an eye for diff
ficulties will not succeed. When Howe
was appointed commander in chief in
the Mediterranean, question concern
ing him was asked, in parliament, to
which Lord Hawke, then first lord of
the admiralty, replied: Il advised his
majesty to make the appointment.

occasions. He never asked me how he
was to execute any service, but always
went and did it. ''-Scribner's Magazine.

MYSTERIOUS ELECTRICITY.

Tiie Human Mind May Never Solve tte
Problem Of What Il Is.
To the metaphysical mind on the one
hand and to the confident ignoramus on
the other the mysterious nature of cleo
lricity offers a fruitful subject Of specu-
lation. To the latter especially it seems
@ reproach that the true nature Of cleo
tricity has not long before been made
manifest, and he is always prepared to
dash off an explanation with much more
confidence than Newton proposed his
theory OF gravitation. 1t seems inezpli-
cable to the public at large that the, mys-
terry surrounding electricity is not dis
PEELED. 1t does not seem to occur to
those who are impatient to have the
great question, w hat is electricity"
answered that we are in just as dense
ignorance as to the mechanism of other
phenomena. Gravitation, light, heat
and chemical action are III the same
category Of scientific mysteries and have
had centuries more Of thought bestowed
on them than has been devoted to the
new agent. While it now seems that
we may be Oh the threshold of one of
the greatest discoveries of the human
mind, yet it is possible, and even prcba-
bic, that the knowledge of man may
never be permatted to extend to the en-
tire solution Of Che problem, for it is the
very problem of the universe itself.
Assuming what seems to be unques-
toned, that electricity, electrical action
OR whatever we may call it, has it's seat
in the atoms or molecules of matter or
of the hypothetical matter, ether, we
are brought face to face with the same
conditions that confront the cosmical
philosopher. AS the latter can never
hope to have his material vision extend
to the bounds of the universe, neither
can the molecular physicist hope to ma
terially appreciate the ultimate elements
of matter. Lord Kelvin has shown that
if a drop Of water We're magnifed to the
size Of the earth one of it's constituent
molecules would only be nagniied to
approximately the size OF Il cricket
ball. Bearing this i'll mind, the i'm
mensity Of the problem which is SO often
fippantly referred to is evident. True,
we may demonstrate the exact relation
between electricity and magnetism and
may satisfactorily connect these with
other phenomena and even obtain
working hypothesis that will answer all
scientific needs, but the ultimate solu-
tion may forever evade the human mind
Whatever we do learn. however, will
not be through the speculations Of meta
physicians or the guesses of tyres, but
through the physical Investigations OF
Hertzes and Teslas. While as mental
training metaphysical speculation mag
have its use, the absolute lack Of addi-
tons to our real knowledge during the
many centuries from Plato to Eacon,
when metaphysics held full sway, is con-
elusive that nothing can be expected
from this direction, and merely specula-
tive theories in regard to the nature OF
electricity deserve as little considera-
ton as is now given to the metaphysical
vagaries Of the schoolmen Of the middle
ages.-Electrical World.

The Emperor and the Pirate.

Alexander the Great was about to pass
sentence Of death on noted pirate. but
previously asked him, "Why dost thou
trouble the seas:
why" rejoined the rover boldly,
"dost thou trouble the whole world? l,
with one ship, go in quest of solitary ad-
venture and ain therefore called pirate.
Thou, with a great army, warrest against
nations and therefore art called EN-
peror. Sir, there is no difference be-
twixt us but in the name and means OF
doing mischief"
Alexander, so far from being dis
pleased with the freedom of the culprit,
was SO impressed with the force OF his
appeal that he dismissed him unpun'
ished.-Sala's Journal.

From lower limbs to limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The tiake-light footballs of my love.
