Dickens is most thought of as novelist,
but his career as editor, if less dwelt upon,
was hardly less distinguished In his service.
Arst to Household Words and then to All

connection with the Daily News, he was
mover the editor Of daily journal, but in
the record, which his SON furnishes in tho
English ulpstrated Magazine, OF his meth
DDS OF edfting weekly Journal and Of deals
ing with his Contributors, It is found that
Dickens set up the highest standard posi-
bic, and brought all Of his indomitabfe en-.
ergy and capacity for taking pains into tbs
service Of the geeklx magaE.ne. He was
the model editor in his chosen field, exact
ing but considerable, and If his correspond.
ence with all contributors was as kindly as
it was with the American lady whose con-
tributions he took In hand and commented

Ono of tho most curious expeditions
ever planned by man was that once
undertaken by DR.. j. &. Bunting, of
Portland, says the Lewiston (Mc.)
Journal. During nll his life he hnd
been close Gtudcnt of the philosophy
OF digestion, and for the purpose of his
Investigations he had that remarkable
Canadian, Alexis st. Martin. in his
care for twenty years In order to
clinch nnttors and provide facts for
some of tho doubling Thomases DIR.
Bunting cast about for some one else
upon whom he might continue to OK

He could think of but one plan. ind
that was to 20 into Africa, buy two
slaves, and operate upon their 5tonn-
achs by opening the body near the
fifth rib and pcrforating the stomach
condition could be produced similar
to that existing in the person of st.
Martin. Therefore the doctor pur-
chased his supplies and sailed across
to Tunis in the north of Africa. There
he hired q native chief with forty of
his followers, paying them u liberal
retaining fee and promising them al
Turing larges3 when the trip shonld be
ended. They set forth. The doctor
carried one thousand pounds in his in
side pocket, and the chief probably lay
awake four nights thinking about tho
matter.
At any ratio, on the fifth night he
sneallcd into the doctors tent and de-
1ivercd little address over tho rnuz-
zlcs of two pistols. When he had con-
cludcd the doctor passed over his
ducata and the chief passed over the
border along with his renegade band.
They helped themselves to au~l? sup
plies as suited their urtlc&a and uncn-
lightcncd tastes. The doctor came
back without y rctinuc and with n deal
OF experience that will never appear

HEAVENS OF THE HlNDoos.
The Four Degrees of Bliss to Which tn
Departed Spirits Pass.

The Four Degrees of Bliss to Which the
Departed Spirits Pass.
The Jews believe in a plurality OF
heavens, and so do the Hindoos, the
former reckoning seven, the latter but
four. These four special abodes of the
righteous after death each has its name.
The first is called Saratoga, "God S
world" the second, Sameeba, Near to
God;'' the third, Sarobam, Goods i'm
age, and the fourth, Sayutcheyam,
which signifies "to be absorbed In him. :"
To Saratoga. the first degree Of bliss,
no the souls of all of those who have ever
made a pilgrimage to holy place or
who have paid for the temple lights for
one month. In Saratoga there Is great
happiness and no work or sickness. The
inmate is allowed to read the five sacred
books, drink ambrosia and hear the
hours sing.
To Sameeba go the spirits of all Keer-
ikarar, or workers in the Brahman
cause; also those who forego the COM
forts of this life, such as sleeping in a
reoumbent position, eating sufficiently,
etc. Their happiness conslsGs onleny oA
continually praising God.
To Sorobam, the third heaven, go the
souls of such as never spoil Gods model
by shaving or pairing the nails. These are
the Brahman Yogis. They wander
about the earth, always going from left
to right They eat nothing but nauseous
food and live in constant state Of alb
straction on divine subjects
The fourth heaven, Sayutcheyam, is
the coming abode of the "nyane, or
philosophers. These nyane pay no at
tention to heat or cold, never battle and
often go for weeks without food If
they are sick, no one knows it but them
selves They are the stoics of the world
of today and believe that in Sayutche-
yam they will eventually be absorbed In
the Deity.-St. Louis Republic.

He Had o ForcibIe Way of Arguing That

Early in April, 1897, the people Of
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in the vicinity
Of Leoben. Bonaparte, in an interview
with the Austrian plenipotentiaries,
said to them, your government has
sent against me four armies without
generals, and this time general with
out an army" In the treaty which the
Austrian commissioners projected the
first article stipulated that the emperor
Of Austria thereby recognized the
French republic. Erase it'll" exclaimed
Napoleon. 1.-THE existence of the repub-
Ito is as plain as the sun. This article
is only fit for the blind. We are our
own masters and shall establish any
government we prefer. If one day the
French people, he continued, should
wish to create a monarchy, the emperor
might object that he had recognized q
republic. The preliminaries were soon
settled, Napoleon signing for France.
thus placing himself ON an equal foot
ing with the emperor of Austria. The
formal treaty known as Campo Formio
was signed in October, 1897, Austria
fulfilling the pledges she had already
given. The Austrian plenipotentiary
protested against the distribution of the
provinces beyond the Adige. Napoleon
was angered at this, and seizing vase
dashed it to the ground, exolaiming,

Letters Five Hundred Years Old.

Ancient specimens of letters are
shown in the Hof museum at Vienna
One is dated 1896. 1t consists of large
sheet of ribbed white paper folded in
three. A band Of paper was passed
round the outside and through slit in
one edge, being then fastened with soft
wax. A small piece Of thin paper was
laid ON the wax and the seal pressed on
the paper, not directly on the wax. A
somewhat similar arrangement is found
In letter of the year 1446, which was
written by the town counselor of Mu-
Mich to the burgomaster of Rastenburg
in the Tyrol, in order to obtain informa-
ton concerning man accused of big
amy. In the sixteenth century people
in the Tyrol and Bavaria used bands Of
vellum or cords, fastened with wax.
Later came separate round and oblong
waters. The use of the encircling band
continued in Austria generally to 1850.
or thereabout, and probably reached this
century among conservative people. The
first envelope of the modern type in this
collection belongs to the year 1715.

Than dimpled ocean, like laughing child
That lisps and rolls jewel TO our feet.
Breathlessly calmP And then, within an hour
Behold that selfsame ocean on the shore
Lashes; the forest quakes; with deafening
power
The rocks are rent. Then, OIL amid that roar
Awestruck we sink, we fall upon our knees
Ye mountains, and ye forests, and ye seasl
The mountains, and the forests, and the seas
Have each their music, with our mortar loS
In sympathy, to soothe, exalt, appease.
And man, too, has his music, has note
on worldwide sweetness, tender reveries,
Dirpes of buried blisses uhforgot,
Rejoicing pseans, glorious symphonies
But ali Of them Lack something-they have

The voice once heard in Eden. And the ear
Pleased with rich sound, Is as when some

Shakes the high roof. but when the Lord OF
