Guarding the Thoughts.

A most helpful habit to lead on to
rich and deep soul experience is that
of carefully guarding the thoughts
when ones head is laid on the pillow
for the night. If these thoughts are
kept steadfastly to uplifting themes
there seems to be a holy atmosphere
about the soul during sleep, for the
first thoughts on awakening are usual
ly the con tinuation of the last effort
before passing into slumber. Think
over these beautiful words of jeremiah
"For | have satlated the weary soul
and have replenished every sorrow
full soul. Upon this | awakened and
beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto
me-" TO awake to find the good night
thoughts lowering like angels who
have been keeping guard while we
slept, Is bright outlook for the new
day.

CHESS ON THE BRAIN.
A Noted Player Who at Times Fancie
Himself Bishop OF knight.

A Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
Himself Bishop OF Knight.
A chess champion, German gentle
man whose name is we'll known to all
players and most nonplayers of that sci
entifc game, recently told the writer
that the intense mental activity which
it was necessary to display while en-
gagged in combat on the board often
led him to unconsciously do ridiculous
things when the game was over.
''For instance" he said, sit is not
an uncommon thing for me, when walk
ing home in the evening after several
games Of chess at my club, to imagine
that am one of the pieces on the board:
Quite unconsciopsly, and probably while
thinking about something else, will
take great care to plant my feet firmly
in the center Of the fagstones and not
step upon the lines that divide them
Again. the idea that am knight will
seize me, and those who walk behind
me are convulsed with laughter to see
me take step forward, and one to one
side, which is not, to say the least Of it,
a dignifed method of progress.
Sometimes am a bishop and move
in aslanting direction, till forcible eon=
eussion with wall brings me to my
senses.
sit is very foolish, ! know, but can
not help it. I suppose it is that the
game, its chances and possibilities are
SO continually running in my mind that
chess to me is almost becoming second
nature
The elder Roberts once, years ago,
told an interviewer that so completely
was his mind subjugated by billiards
that he would often lie in bed and WON
der if he could make a carom off the
mantelpiece on to the washstand or
''pot' the gas globe out Of the window
with the bedpost. Answers.

THE EVIL EYE.
And Eew Coincidence Helped to Rivet
the Chains of Superstition.

And Eew Coincidence Helped to Rivet
the Chains of Superstition.
Miss Symonds and party of friends
had driven from Athens to the foot Of
Hymettus in carriage drawn by two
horses. The drive being over, the coach
man proceeded to give corn to his
horses. One of them, however, would
not eat, but hung his head and refused
all food. The driver, in a state Of wild
excitement, thereupon presented him
self before his fares and declared, with
frenzied words, that one of the ladies
had overlooked the suffering horse,
and that the beast was about to expire.
The only way to get it cured from the
effects Of the evil eye was for the over
looked to spit upon it. The driver APP
pears to have had no doubt which lady
was the possessor of the evil power ex-
ercised upon his animal. Naturally
enough, the lady in question had no
great fancy to try this primitive form
Of veterinary surgery and refused.
The man S entreaties and adjurations,
however, became SO vehement and SO
threatening that at last the alleged pos
SCISSOR Of the evil eye had to yield. No
sooner had she spat upon the horse than
most welcome change set in. The
beast, which had appeared to be at it's
last gasp, promptly grew better, and
very soon was eating like it's fellow. Of
course the change was due to COIN
cidence. Probably the horse was at first
too tired to eat, but during the discus
sion ''to spit Or not to spit;' he no doubt
got rested. By the time, then, tho cere-
mony was performed he was quite fit
for breakfast. It was, i'll fact, post hoe,
not propter hoe. The splitting and the
recovery following each other so closely
was a mere coincidence. But though
we may hold this view it was of course
not held by the Greek coachman. He,
we may be sure, felt at once completely
confirmed in his belief in the evil eye.
The coincidence gave him what he
thought ample proof of the efficacy of
his charm against Overlooking. If
nothing had happened. and the English
ladies had been able to laugh at him
for making one of them do a disagree
able thing without any result, the driver
might have begun to think that, after
all, his. juggling rites were nonsense.
Depend upon it, the coincidence rivet-
ed the chains of superstition upon him
tighter than ever. After the incident we
have just noticed he will probably be-
lieve as firmly in the evil eye and the
wav to countaract it's inf1uenca as he will
in the procession of the seasons or the
following Of day by night.

Bishop FalIows' Saloon.

The Home saloon of Bishop Fallows,
in Chicago, fools great many old to;
pers. His idea is to make the place as
much like first class saloon as possible
and to sell in it something as much like
beer as science could concoct without its
being the real thing The saloon has a
big bar, with a substantial rail, from
which hang half a dozen toMals Back
Of the bar is d white coated bartender,
and back of him are big mirrors and
rows Of shelves, covered with black bot
Ties bearing gaqdF labels. 4 row Of
lemons and bowl Of cracked ice helI
tomake up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders i'll and orders
''beer.'' He gets glass of foaming
something that eeols, may cheer, but
can't inebriate. The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts his
mouth and tries to recall the taste, while
9 puzzled look spreads over his face.
Sometimes he asks questions, but usu-
ally he walks slowly away, wondering
whether or pot his stomach is all right.

A Fire Curtain of Water.

An effective device for the protection
Of buildings from fires in adjacent struc-
lures has been successfully tested in
Boston. The idea worked out in the ap-
paratus is to maintain q sheet of water
between the fire and the building to be
protected. This is done by placing Oh
every open side Of the building near the
top a line of perforated piping for car
rying water. The complete apparatus
consists Of a five inch standpipe, ex-
tending over the upper story. From it
runs another pipe around the sides and
front, from u to inches in diameter.
On the front are three revolving sprin-
klers, and one is placed at each exposed
side, i'll the center. The arms are of
bronze metal, slightly curved. At each
end Of the arms is ball nozzle, such
as is used by fire departments on regu-
lar hose lines. At the base of the stand
pipe is a Siamese connection for four
lines of three inch hose. At the Boston
test q fire department steamer furnished
the power, snd Tor about Is minutes
poured through the sprinkler q delivery
of 1000 gallons a minute, completely
drenching the walls and keeping CON
tinuous sheet Of water from top to bot

She climbed up the rickety staircase
to the room she had shared with Pietro.
He was not there; it must be done at
once.
She crossed to the corner near the
window The board moved easily, and
she felt for the tin box, and found it,
and carried it to the lamp.
The box was very light, and fear
came to her as she opened it and saw
that it was empty save for fold OF
dirty paper.
With trembling Cngers she undid the
paper, and held it to the lamp and read
the words:
"Goodby, Tessa. have decided not
to wait for the fogs. We will share now
and part. You shall have Fillipo and
I the money that was here. Goodby, !"
written in Pietro's rude scrawl.
Fillipo waited long at the corner,
and at last crossed to the house, and,
learning from the woman standing at
the door that Pietro was out, walked up
the stairway and into the room.
Then he, too, read the paper, and
his sorrow was joined to Tessa S.

The Durham Rites.

The s'Durham Rites" speak of great
store Of ancient manuscripts possessed
by the house to help the monks i'll their
study. The Rites go on to say how
the store included ''the old anncient
written doctors of the church, as other
profane authors, with divers other hole
mems wourks, SO that every one dyd
studye what Doctor pleased them best,
havinge the Librairie at all times to go
and studye in, besydes their carrells. F"
From the same Rites" we learn that
in the dormitory each monk had little
chamber to himself with a window, Or
bit of window, and in the window
desk for books, SO that he could study,
if he pleased, in the hours spent in the
dormitory. Special directions were
given that the monks and novices were
not to be disturbed in their "carrells''
while they were studying.
In their care for education in days
when all training for the young, save
in arms and field sports, was compare
lively little thought of, the record of
the monastic orders is an honorable one.
Besides maintaining a 'ssong school, -
the more important houses regularly
trained their novices in other learning !;
and again, to use the words of the
Durham Rites, "yf the Master dyd
see that any Of them weare apte to
learnynge and dyd apple his booke, and
had pregnant wyt withall, then the
Master dyd let the Prior have intelli-
gence. Then streighteway after, he Was
sent to Oxford to school" Other peo-
pie, too, sent their SONS to the monks
for education, which was sometimes
given freely and sometimes paid for.
Mention has been made of Oxford.
The Durham College," besides the
pupils sent up from the abbey, adj
mitted regular students. A purely
monastic college as early as A. d. 1888
was founded in Oxford for 10 monks Of
st. Peters abbey, Gloucester. This, be-
fore the end of the thirteenth century, de-
yeloped into great Benedictine house
of learning, and long list Of abbeys
| united together to maintain this Bene-
dictine college at Oxford, which -four
ished until the reformation.-Qua

Died with His Chum.

In the "reminiscences of General Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself a brave English
soldier, touching instance of courage
and self sacrifice is given. One June day,
il 1884 q detachment 6f English me-
pines was crossing the Weronzow road
under fire from the Russian batteries.
All of the men reached shelter In the
trenches except a seaman, John Blewitt.
As he was running a terrific roar was
heard. His mates knew the voice Of a
huge cannon, the terror Of the army
and sellea: 80 '''-''s ;
'''-. .:.Eook ont It is Whistling Dickr'
But at the moment Blewitt was struck
by the enormous mass Of iron On tho
knees and thrown to tho ground. He
called to his special chum:
'Oh, WEIGH, save me!''
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
WEIGH ran out Of the trenches. ana se.4=

Tt exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom Of the bodies of BleWiff

when each hour had its excitement,
this deed Of heroism stirred the whole
English army. One Of the officers search
ed out Walch s old mother in her poor
home and undertook her support while
she lived, and the story of his death
helped his comrades to nobler concep-
lions of soldiers duty.

HOW EASILY THINGS GO wRoNaT

Alas! how easily things go wrong,
A sigh too much or a kiss too long,
And there follows a mist and weeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alasi how hardly things go right!
TITS hard to watch on q summers night,
For the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay,
And the summers night is winters day.
And yet how easily things go right,
II the sigh and the kiss of a winters night
Come deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That is born in the light of the winters day
And things can never go badly wrong
II the heart be true, and the love be strong,
For the mist, it il comes, and the weeping
rain
Will be changed by the love into sunshine
again.
