Questionable Philosophy a Chld-ideas


A little girl of the Sunday-school age, and
of the Titan age in respect to auburn curls
and blue eyes, was asked yesterday in
Lafayette park, after few questions in
cateohism. how she thought the face of
Christ looked.
She answere doffhand, and with perfect
frankness aud faith in the truth OF her
conceptions;
20, just like my grandpa's."
This was the whole philosophy of
great subject in a nut shell.
The vanishing view of the Christian world,
as all men and women go TO sleep every
night, is, perhaps. or certainly should be
the face Of the Savior. There is at least
an othodox theory to that effect.
1t would be interesting TO know, never
theless, how many of the millions of Chris
tians have a distinct picture of the divine
features IN their minds eye, other than
those who have formed more or less in
distinct images of that countenance from
the confusing ideals of the painters and
sculptors. Probably there are very few
of such, and those whose attention is
called TO that fact by the present discussion
would not surprise themselves nor the

Augustus, hut that is scarcely historical.
People paint Christ according TO their
impressions. Why, recently Jean Beraud
has painted the Savior as the leader OF

MORAL SIDE OF THE SPORT.
1t will be good thing for young Miss
Columbia If she continues the fondness for
athletic sports now so common, and the
more she gets of exercise, of long walks
in the open air, of freedom of mind and
body, of expansion of the intellect, and
broadening of the Judgment the better
fitted Will she be TO take her place in the
world, not as one who wishes to lose her
| feminine charms, but as one who would
heighten them by the glow of ruddy health
! and the exercise of common sense in lifes
affairs. And the stronger she is in body
| and soul, the better viii she be as a loving
| wife and tender mother
| There have been isolated cases where
women have fought duels with foils, over
| love affair, of course, but such instances
| are very rare.
AT present the taste for this sport lies
| principally in the fine exercise it gives, and
| for this reasonit is being cultivated so much
by the women in America at the present
| time.
| If the party to be given by the British am
| bassador proves success it will doubt
! less be followed by Others and in a short

| peculiarly the property OF the fascinating
| young lady known as 'Trilby." 1t is
| funny to see some of our bellies strolling
| down the street with the paraphernalia
in their hands. and the queer-looking masks
and gloves are always regarded with curl
| osity by strangers. But the sight is des-
| tined to become one very familiar in the
streets of our Capital City.

also be among the ladies who VIII learn
at the home of Mrs. Rowland.
Sir Julian Paurcefote is perhaps the first
who ought 10 be mentioned i'll speaking of
the gentlemen who are adapts with the
foils. He began in September last and
has taken a lesson three times a week ever
since, on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday
afternoons, but any morning a visitor 10 the
embassy of her majesty may see a sight
that reminds one forcibly of the thrilling
scene OF Hamlet" when there is duel
between the gloomy Dane and the young
Laertes.
Just at the back of the wide hail is a
broad stairway that leads up 10 the second
floor and the light as it Sits down, falls
on a fine painting of the Queen on her
throne, that stands at the head of the stairs
Just at the foot one will find the ambassador
and one of the attaches, perhaps, all in
thickly padded costumes and over their
faces are masks of wire and leather. They
thrust, leap forward, retreat, and slash
fiercely at each other, all the time jabbering
away briskly in French.
So fond is Sir Julian of the art that he
contemplates giving at the embassy in the
near future an exhibition TO which all tie
fencers in town will be invited, both of the
fair and the sterner sex. The affair will
take place in the large and beautiful ball
room of the house, and there will be
| matches, the ladies being pitted against
each other and the men fighting the men.
| A prize VIII be presented to the best OF
| each set by the professor, Mr.. Darriolat,
and the affair will be one of the most unique
and exclusive of entertainments. The
Misses PauDcefote are TO begin to take les
Sons very soon and will probably join the
class gotten up by Mrs. s. S. Rowland.
POPULAR AMONG DIPLOMATS.

A Remarkable Criminal Trial.

WYTHEvILLE. Va. Nov. ia re.
markable criminal trial has been in
progress in Carroll county, Va, fol
nearly six years. A white man named
Tilley was charged with having muir
dered woman and having burned her
body under a brush pile. The evi
dence was purely circnmstantial, but
strong, and Tilley was condemned to
be hanged. An appeal was taken and
the court of appeals set the verdict
aside. Again he was tried and again
condemned to be hanged, to be once
more saved by the court of appeals.
The legislature of Virginia passed a
law last winter removing such cases
from the jurisdiction of the circuit
court. By a compromise at the term
of the circuit court which has just ad-
journed in Carroll county. between
the commemorative attorney and
Tilley's counsel, General Walker, it
was agreed that Tilley could be dis
charged from the circuit court, rear
rested and indicted in the county
court. That he should be tried foI
manslaughter and condemned to two
and half years in the penitentiary.
During the five years he has been un,
der sentence Tilley has been confined
in Jail, much of the time in an iron
cage and chained to the floor.

Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

The idea of being able to invent something
strikes most people as being very difficult
this delusion the Company wishes to diSpel. 1t
Is the simple things and small inventions that
make the greatest amount of money and the
complex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at some time or another, concetves
an idea, which, If patented. would probably be
worth to him fortune. Unfortunately such
ideas are usually dismissed without thought.
The simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back, the sauce
pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle
stopper, the snow shovel, are things That al
most everyone sees some way of Improving
upon, and 1t is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the author.
The prize we offer will be paid at the end of
each month, whether the application has been
acted upon by the Patent Once or not. Every
competitor must apply for patent on his in
vention through US, and whether he secures
the prize or not, the inventor will have valu-
able patent.

Walked always in the shining.

Because we cover up sign

Richer than any kings may own,
Greater than time can measure,
No life can e'er be poor and cold,
Or craving some now blessing,
That hath and hOldeth fairy gold,
Loves gracious self possessing.
Love soundeth depths that none may reac
With any common plummet,

Goes far to make this sad old eartn
