Burn Your Own Smoke.

Eastern sages can be at times impress
sive. The Talmudists often are, and some
fine sayings are quoted from Sa'di-this,
for examples
"When thou interest not word, thou
hast laid thy hand upon il. When thou
hast uttered it, it hath laid its hand on
thee"
Quarles, we observe, has said the same
thing, not quite with so stately an air:
''Give not thy tongue too great liber
ty, lest il take thee prisoner. A word un
spoken is like thy sword in thy scabbard
If vented, the sword is in another's hand
If thou desire to be held wise, be so wise
as TO hold thy tongue.
But both sayings attach a certain exag
gcrated Importance to the utterance of a
transient thought, IA if that utterance
necessarily committed him who utters it to
aCC upon II turOugA Out life. Modern think
ers make more allowance for speech as a
sort of safety valve for surplus steam
Goethe used 10 say that he gave utterance
TO certain morbid feelings TO get rid Of
them, and certainly he got rid of his
Wertherism III that way We do not think
that it was n very good way.
Perhaps Sa'di and Quarles are the bet
ter advisers when they recommend you to
consume your own smoke without giving
IL 10 the world. But il you have given
utterance 10 an unwise view. as Goethe
did 10 spasmodic sentimentalism in
"Werther, " ii would be "A great mistake
10 regard yourself rs bound in honor TO de
fend it after you had found out its unwis
dom. Leyity OF speech is bad, but TO let
levity of speech lead 30 levity of action is
much worse. London Spectator

AROUND THE WORLD AND MET.
A Strange Coming Together of Father and
Daughter From Opposite Directions.

BY strange current OF events Mrs Ev-
an Johns, who had parted from her father
in Wales in her bahyhood, met him again
in this city after each had come half way
around the globe, and the instructive rec
ognition and embrace made the couple an
object of curiosity 10 passershy.
Eighteen or twenty years ago David Da-
vies, practical miner, in the full vigor of
manhood left his fanlily in Newbridge,
Wales, TO seek a fortune in Japan. When ne
babe goodby TO his family, his youngest
child, "A little girl, WAS n baby. Davies
driited from one part OF japan 90 another
prospecting toe count-y and frequently
making fair strik e. Al intervals lac heard
from home and learned that his baby had
grown up and Was married toa young
miner named Nvan Johns. To the young
couple children were born, and about
three years Ego the family crossed the sea
and Bottled In Butte, Mon. They knew
that Davies had ieit Japan in 1857 for
Washington, but where 10 find him they
had No idea.
A short time ego johns decided to move
from Butte T. Black Diamond, and while
making agvaus lmcnts 10 move ho stopped
in this city. Chance had IL that he met
Thomas II. Davies, IL native Of Wales, at
the phmnix hotel on Washington street
End learned from him that David Davies,
now nm old man, came TO Seattle frequent
~. Johns Immediately let his wife know
that Eor father might possibly be in Seat
tie when she arrived and told her 10 see
Thomas Ii. Davies, who ia no blood rela-
ton, and learn about Der father
Last Wednesday night Mrs. Johns got
Off the Northern Pacific train with four
cEildren-t'yo boys and two girls--and
went tothe Phoenix hotel. The next morn
ing she learned that her father had not
been at the hotel, hut might be in the
city. She had not seen him since she was
baby, and it would be strange thing
if she could pick him out of a. crowd, but
her friends told her 10 look for II man who
wore his hat over one eye. She followed
their instructions, and when not half
block from South Third street met man
whom she thought TO be her father With.
out hesitation she called his name. He re,
piled. They stood for moment looking
at one another, then, as If the truth dawn
ed on both, kissed, embraced and began
TO cry
Mrs. Johns children watched the pro
ceeding for moment in wonder, and as
il realizing that something out Of the or
binary was TRANSPORTING began TO shed tears
also. A few pedestrians looked over their
shoulders at the weeping group and then
passed on, wondering what had happened
to cause such an oUtburst. Father and
daughter and the children returned TO the
Phoenix hotel to tell their mutual friend,
Thomas II. Davies, all about the meeting.
There was SO much heartfelt JOY in the
way they told the story that Davies shed
a few tears himself in sympathy 1t was
a happy day for ell parties interested, and
the father never lost sight of his daughter
until she took the train, with her children
and baggage, for Black Diamond.-Seat-

A LULLABY.

Frowers and leaves from the dreamland
tree
Fall on the baby's eyes.
What does he hear and what does he see,
AS in my arms he lies?.
Every leaf carries picture too fair
For any but babies TO see.
Tales told by flowers are sweeter by far
Than any OF mammals can be.
Gentle sleep paints all the pictures so bright
Teaches each blossom a tale;
Then on the little sweet slumbering eyes
Scatters the fowery hail.
Smile follows smile over tender red lips;
Breathing is soft and low.
How fair the stories and pictures are
Only the babies know.

Candle Power Of searchIights.

Mr. c. p. Steinmetz of the General Elec-
trio company, in The Electrical World
states that the method of computing the
candle power Of searchlight, by which
it is made TO reach a high figure of sew
eral hundred millions, is upon n strictly
scientific basis and entirely correct. As
Stunning that the parabolic reflector sub
tends an angle of approximately 100 de
grees, the whole column of light given
out by the crater within this angle il re.
Elected within the narrow angle Of diver
gence of the reflected beam of, say, 2 de
grees; that ID cans that the light is concen-
trated in the proportion of the squares Of
the angles 100 degrees and . degrees-that
Is, 5000 times-consequently, neglecting
the losses, the intensity of beam of a
searchlight compared with the simple arc
light is 5000 fold Assuming that the
candle power of direct arc averages 60,
600 in the angle subtended by the reflect
ors, the candle power of the reflected beam
would be 10000 multiplied by 5000,
equaling 216, 900, 900. Such are ths inten.
