Two Ugly Men.

The DUO de Roquelaure was a man
of great ugliness and much humor. One
day he met in the street a most unlove-
ly looking Auvergnat, who had some
petition or. memorial to present at Yer
sailles. He Immediately introduced
him to Louis XIV, remarking that he
was under a special obligation to him.
The king granted the favor asked for
and then inquired Of the due what
might be the nature Of the obligation.
but for him, your majesty, should
be the ugliest man in your dominions!'
I am reminded of Heidegger, the
manager Of the opera house in the
Haymarket when George II was king.
One day he laid wager with the Earl
Of Chesterfield that he would not find
in ali London an uglier faco than his.
After long search the earl produced
a woman of St. Giles who at first
seemed to outvie the manager, but when
the latter put on the woman's headgear
his superior ugliness was at once ad-
mitted.-All the Year Round.

The Screaming Habit.

No two persons hear exactly alike.
The human internal ear is best de.
scribed by likening it to grand piano.
That instrument has a key for every
note; the human ear has a nerve fila
ment for every tone and it's variations.
Did 1 say for every tone? That is a
mistake. Some pianos have seven oc-
taves, some have eight; some have bet
ter tone in one portion of the keyboard
than in another. Exactly SO with the
human ear. Some persons hear acute
ly; they catch sounds that to others are
but silence. Some tones strike the ear
drum, but are not conveyed to the
brain because their corresponding
nerve flament is missing. We know
of defective hearing, but we do not APP
ply our knowledge to our reasoning
when we are stating our opinj ons OF i'm
pressions. To some a high note is a
positive pain, and to such ears. SOAR
ing soprano will do nothing but shrek.
Others will detest the lower tones. An
i1nals are moved out Of their wonted
calm by the sound Of certain notes.
It should be our endeavor to cultivate
tones Of softness and sweetness. A low
tone is the voice of comfort and conso-
lation, Of deepest, most sacred emotion.
Our society women should do all they
can to counterfeit the screaming habit
of Americans. - Di Vernon in San
Francisco Newsletter.

HeliOtrOpiSm.

Heliotropism is the peculiar property
shown by many plants, notably the
sunfower, Of always turning toward the
sun. In the case Of seedlings the phe-
nomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded in growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side. Professor
Romanes has experimental with an in
termittent light, such as that of an
electric spark discharge, upon mustard
seedlings, and has found that the hello
tropic effect produced in this way is far
greater than that caused by the sun or
any other form of light. Strange to
say, however, this abnormal influence
is unaccompanied by the generation of
phlorophyll, the green coloring matter
in plants which requires sunshine for
its proper production. Pail Mall Ga

WEARY.

I'm old, and the heat of life's battles
Has bleached my brown hair till it's white
And teardrops that sparkle light diamonds
Have stole from my eyes their old light.
And low, where cold marbles are cleaning,
l laid what the world gave to me;
But high, where the pure ones are waiting,
My treasures again will see.
Tonight have heard strains of music
That f1oated away long ago,
But some mystic spirit has caught them
To chant to me now, soft and low. "

That memory fingered to tell, ...-
Of youth that built castles in midair ,,.-
That crushed hopes and dreams as they fell.

But safe in the harbor of heaven
A fair sailor boy waits for me.

almost can see his white hand
AS it lifts from my heart life's dark shadows
And points me to his spirit land.
o Time, I am weary of travel!
Life's pathway is lonely for me,
And breezes that whisper about me
Seem filled with a voice from the sea.
And now l am tired-so tired
And some night I'll lie down to rest
And dream till wake in the morning
In peace in the home of the blest.

PSYCHOLOGY.

The new science of psychology will
determine the mental laws exactly-the
laws of the individual and of society
the laws of aesthetics, of education, of
ethics and of every human faculty.
1t will compel men to live by these
laws, because it will make them plain
to all men-as plain as, the lawof gray
ity. The world will then go forward
because it will see how. We shall then
have a higher manhood, because its
type will be clear to us: We shall
have new art and new literature, be-
cause we shall know the secrets of beau
ty. Its standards shall be broader in
proportion as they shall be truer. We
may then efficiently love our unfortu-
nate brother by knowing how to make
him lovable, and how to make life low
able to him. Psychology will secure
to man wealth and art, wisdom and
happiness, by making man capable Of
them. Psychology will make education
the chief function of government by
giving education a scope heretofore I'M
conceived of.-McClure' Magazine.

THE DAT s or THE EXODUS.
It Would Seem to Lie Between the Years
1880 and 500 b. c.

It Would Seem to Lie Between the Years
1880 and 1900 b. G.
Although the monuments and papyri
give US no direct information upon the.
subject of the exodus, they do Indirect
~ indicate a certain period within
which it must have taken place. Thoth-
mes III, who was the most powerful
king of that dynasty Ghe eighteenth)
which finally drove the Hyksos invad-
ers out Of Egypt and reunited the whole
country under one scepter, extended his
conquests as far as Mesopotamia, over
running Palestine on his way. He left
lists of the conquered nations, but does
not mention the Israelites among them.
Rameses II of the nineteenth dynasty,
the supposed oppressor, who reigned
about 200 years later, also subdued
Palestine and left lists of the conquered
peoples. but he, again, does not men,
ton the Israelites among them.
What is perhaps still more impor-
tant is that, while the Israelites have
left records of invasions by Mesopota-
mians, Moa bites, Canaanites, Midianites
and Philistines, they do not mention
any invasion by the Egyptians, and the
conclusion is that the Israelites were
not settled on the west side of the Jor-
dan till after the wars waged by RAM
eses II at the commencement of his
reign, which began not earlier than
1888 B. c., or, as some now say, 1866
BIC.
It has been attempted to explain this
difficulty away by suggesting that Ram
eses II kept close to the seacoast on his
march through Palestine and did not
strike inland till he was some distance
to the north Of the Israelites, but it is
Uncomfortable that he should not have
secured his long line Of communication
by establishing posts so far inland that
they must have been brought into con-
tact with the Hebrews if the latter had
at that time been settled in their own
country.
The earliest date, therefore, at which
the Egyptian history will permit the
exodus to have taken place, even when
full allowance is made for the time
spent by the Jews in the wilderness and
in conquering Palestine, would seem to
be about 1880 B. c., while, if the shorter
chronology be adopted, it could not
have been much earlier than 1900 B.

Photographs Report Better Than Eyes.
. At meeting of the Academic des
Sciences, Paris, NJ. ,Zenger exhibited
two photographs which he had taken at
midnight from his window, looking on
the lake OF Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The lake and the mountain are feebly
imaged on the plates, although they
were both quite invisible to the eye in
the darkness. It is well known that
many stars, invisible to the eye, are re-
vealed on the Photographic plate, and
some years ago an advertisement on the

head, which had been tarred over SO as
to be invisible, was quite legible in

CONSIDERING AMENDMENTS.

Mr.. Grain Of Texas, the senate bill re-

pany of Texas from the time limitations
OF the act Of 1890, as to the improve
ment of Arkansas Pass, was passed.
Before the house resolved itself into
the committee of the whole for the con-
sideration Of this bill, Mr.. Boutelle of
Maine made another fruitless attempt
to bring forward his Hawaiian resolu-
ton.
He made an impetuous and impas-
stoned protest against the refusal of the
house to consider the Hawaiian matter.
Il make the point that the gentleman
is out of order,'' shouted Mr.. McMillin.
''Congress,' responded Mr.. Boutelle,
"should have the right to repudiate the
odium under which it rests The DEM
ocratic majority should have the right
to unload from congress and the Demo-
cratic party this outrage and disgrace"

''There must be some limit" declared
the speaker sharply, ''there must be
some limit to the right Of the gentleman
to violate the privileges of tho house.
There must be some power in the ma
jority to protect itself against these re-
peated violations. The gentleman will
resume his seat and the house under the
special order adopted will resolve itself
into the committee of the whole for
further consideration of the tariff bill. ~
Mr.. Boutelle then retired to the rear
of the hall. Mr.. Richardson, the chair
man Of the committee of the whole, took
the chair, and then, according to the
special order, thu reading of the tariff
bill began.
