ABSOLUTELY PURE

ical discomIorts OF his situation oy every
means in his power and perhaps drown
the recollection of them in drink.
The man with the shuffiing, uncertain
gait, whose steps seem TO be directed by
no guiding power within, is weakmind
ed. There is nothing which more surely
betrays feebleness of intellect than the
walk And he of the awkward gait, the
restless manner, the furtive glance, is
the morbidly self conscious man. who
cannot for moment divest himself of
the sense of being observed; who lives,
so to speak, under a glass case. And he
of the soft, cautious tread, who gives You
the impression of creeping upon some
object as a cat creeps up upon bird, is
feline in his nature. He is not TO be
trusted: he is treacherous; every faculty
of his mind is poised for a spring.
Let me commend to your confidence
the man just coming into vlew-the man
with the earnest eye, the manly carriage,
the firm tread, who walks with simple,
straightforward directness, as if toward
some given point. He is stable in all
his ways" He has distinctly defined
well considered purpose in life, toward
the attainment of which he advances
with answering steadfastness. never
turning TO the right or the left, never
allowing himself TO be drawn into by
paths, no matter how alluring. His vic
tory is assured, his success merely ques-
ton of time.
And so might one multiply types ad
in6nitum, for the variety in mankind is
imitless. Nor is it to be wondered at
that the characteristics of men and wom-
en- exhibit themselves in the gait, for
the motive power, the propelling force,
is from within.
In his account Of Cataline, Sallust.
the great master of nature, has not for
gotten to remark that "his walk was
now quick and again slow, as an indi-
cation Of a mind revolving with violent

I'm old, and the heat of life's battles
Has bleached my brown hair till it's white.
And teardrcps that sparkle light diamonds
Have stole from my eyes their old light.
And low, where cold marbles are cleaning,
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 flOated away long ago.
But some mystic spirit has caught them
To chant to me now, soft and low.
l heard an old story tonight, too,
That memory fingered 10 tell,
OF youth that built castles in midair
That crushed hopes and dreams as they fell.
I've seen an old picture of sorrow
"A vessel that sank ia the sea
But safe in the harbor of heaven
A fair sailor boy waits for me.

As il lifts from my heart life's dark shadows
And points me to his spirit land.

 Festiv ities and Ceremonies Attending the
 Great Shows.
 undes the republic there were seven performances annually, lasting in all about sixty-six days. These were paid for by the state, and usually cost couple of thousand pounds of our money, says Cornhill Magazine. Some times, however, games were given by some public-spirited individual who desired to gain popularity, or by sor- rowing mourners at the funeral of friends or relations. Under the em- pire the time occupied by these specta- cles was increased to one hundred and seventy-three days annually, and even more, while the cost of a brilliant show rose to seven or eight thousand pounds These games, which usually began at sunrise and lasted until sun set, consisted of three distinct kinds i. G., horse and chariot rae es, combats between gladiators and combats be- tween men and wild beasts; but into these many varieties were introduced
 The gladiators were, for the most part, criminals or prisoners of war, but a certain number of volunteers took part-patricians, and even emperors, occasionally appearing in the lists After a time schools for gladiators were established in Rome, and the champions were exalted into public idols. Their bonnes fortune were pro- verbal, their praises were sung by the poets, and their portraits appeared upon lamps and vases. The condemned crim- inals did not invariably meet their death in the arena. If they survived three years of fighting with men and beasts they were released from their gladiatorial duties, while five years spent in the profession gavet them their freedom.
 The performances were advertised by means of affiches pasted on tho walls or buildings. On one of these placards discovered at Pompeii, it is announced spectators in case of rain; in another that the arena will be well watered, in order that the dust may be laid. The night before the spectacle began great banquet was given to the gladi- ators, presumably the volunteers or hired champions. At daybreak these heroes marched in procession to the amphitheater, and, after the signal had been given by blast of trumpets, the fun began. The emperor and pub lie officers attended in state, great ceremony was observed, and the citi- zens were expected to appear in their best attire. In rainy weather a mantle might be worn over the toga on condiz tion that it was removed when the grandees arrived. In the intervals slaves staggered round, laden with huge baskets of provisions, which were distributed gratuitously, while fruit, nuts and small presents were scattered among the crowd by wealthy patri- clans.

What Did He Eat2

There comes, says the New York Herald, good story from Monte Car To, from that holy of holies, the salon wherein are the trente-et-quantre ta- bles Just as the cards were being shuflled for the commencement of play gentleman deliberately counted out twelve one thousand-franc notes and placed them on the black without even taking the prccaution of insuring them. It was playing the limit" and bystander remarkcd:
 "Rather bold play, sir"
 "Well," said the player, 'I dreamed last night that saw this table exactly as it is now, and on the first coup black won"
 The cards were dealt for the first coup and black won. A suppressed "Oh!' from the bystanders greeted the announcement: Red Ioses," and then from across the table came woman's voice:'
 What did you have for supper last night? Do tell me!'

Little Drops of Water.

From many observations and experi- ments M. Ph. Lenard finds ''that drops of water falling upon water or wet bodies generate electricity, the water becoming electrified positively, and the gas escaping negatively electrified from the foot of the fall, and light inn purities in the water diminish the eff feet considerably. The essential con- ditions of identification are the con- cussions among the drops themselves and against the wet rock, no effect be- ing due to the waters fall through the air and it's dispersion by it. A jet of water falling down from an insulated tank to an insulated pail electrified the latter positively, while the nega- tive clectrifcation of the surrounding air grew to several hundred volts"

MT. Henry, his wife and his ten-year- old boy. Quite early in the morning the fast-rising tide ovcrspread the yard and came into the house. Mr. Henry climbed rp higher and higher, and finally he and his family were on the roof, with the family dog and cat and a half dozen chickens. But the tide kept rising until finally the roof slipped off, and then began a singular and adventurous voyage. Sometimes the roof would spin around as if in a maelstrom, and then again tue waves would sweep completely over it. The chickens and cat were soon swept away, and also the dog, although he always managed to crawl back again. But the most distressing occurrence of this unluclSy voyage was the unwel- come visit of ten-foot alligator, which seemed desirous of taking pass age with them. Mir. Henry was not rash enough to attempt to push off the creature, but he yelled at it once or twice, and finally the big saurian dis appeared under wave and was not seen again. Some time later, when the sun was just setting, the roof ground ed on high ridge, and there relnained until the tide receded. .trs
