Ethoufhtfully upon the sinewy fore-

Finally he thrust the sharp point

and sank back into the velvet-lined
armchair with long sigh of satisfac-

Liked to Fish.

A Barberton man, whogoes to church regularly, was one day walking along the banks of Concession creek eating sandwich, and on account of the usual disparity between meat and bread he threw the redundant piece into the water. Immediately a swarm of yell low fish bubbled around it fighting for the mouthful. The man searched his pockets for fishing tackle, but all in vain, and he was just beginning to die of despair, when his eye lighted on a blacksnake. At that moment he re- membered how his father used to tell him that blacksnalxes were very expert in catching fish. He therefore grabbed the reptile by the tail, carried it to the river, and held it over the struggling fish. The snake proved itself born angler, and in the course of an hour the man had captured forty fine fish. A few days later, as ho was walking in the same place, he felt something rub against his leg, and, looking down, he saw his friend the blacksnake, eager for more sport.-Rangoon Times.

AGAINST LONG ENGAGEMENTS.

More Than Half of English Breach Of
 Promise Cases Come from Them.
 The very latest discussion on a mat ter that concerns women is one dea1- ing with long engagements. Is 1t good thing for girl to pledge herself to marry man, when it is quite im- possible that the marriage can take place in the near future?
 There are some who do not become soured by protracted waiting upon circumstances. A condition of hope braces them up. They can keep on trusting and believing that all will come right, and their natures only sweeten and mellow in the ,rocess.
 But such natures as these are excep- tionaL Few possess them. The majority of us are rather apt to be soured when delay attends our wishes, and the bright future seems to recede before us, dwindling down vista long and shadowy.
 Long engagements often lead to most painful complications AS human be- ings are made, continuance of mutual affection seems more certain after marriage than before.
 A long engagement is very trying ordeal for the average human heart to pass through unscathed. As often as not one of the two people involved in it tires of the other, wearies of the wait ing.
 Half the breach of promise cases that come into court, indeed more than half, are the direct results of long en- agreements. And how many engage ments are broken without the world ever hearing of them?
 Experience of life and knowledge of the world seem to us to teach, and very completely, that there is no greater folly than to enter into long engagement with no particular pros pect of marriage except in the dim and distant future.-Gentlewom

By nature he was wonderfully vigorous man Had he not been, his disease and the exper- 1ments or the doctors had killed him long ago. Laudanum was the only thing which anorded him relief. He had terrible head aches, his nerves were shattered. he could not sleep an hour a day on an average. and ne was reduced to a skeleton. A year ago he and his wife sought relief in a change q f climate and removed to Geneva. O.. but the change In health came not Finally on the recommendation of F. J. Hoffner. tha leading druggist of Geneva, who was coz nizant of similar cases which Pink Pills had cured, MT. Taylor was persuaded to try a box. GAS a drowning man grasps at a straw so took the pills,n says Mr. TayIor. "but with no more hope of rescue But after thirty years of suffering and fruitless search for relief at last found it in Dr. Williams, Pink Pills. The day after I took the first pills commenced to feel better and when I had taken the first box Twas in fact a new man." That was two months ago. Mir. Taylor has since taken more of the pills and his progress is steady and he has the utmost confidence in them. He has regained full control of his nerves and sleeps as well as in his youth. Color is coming back to his parched veins and he is gaining flesh and strength rapidly. He is now able to do con siderable outdoor work
 As he concluded narrating his sufferings. experience and cure to a Beacon reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help meet these many years, said she wished to add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills. ''To the pills alone is due the credit of rais- ing MT. Taylor from helpless invalid to the man he is Go-day,n said Mrs. Taylor. Both MT and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to express the gratitude they feel or recom- mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hu- manity. Any inquiries addressed to them at Geneva. O., regarding MT Taylor's case they will cheerfully answer, as they are anxious that the whole world shall know what Pink Pills have done for them and that suffering humanity may be benefited thereby

Color Music.

# an individual has a very qnick and
keen perception Of color, it sometimes
happens when he hears sudden sound
that flash of color will appear before
his eyes, red, blue, yellow or otherwise,
according to the loudness and character
Of the sound. One man is on record
whose chromatic sense was so delicate
that he even saw flashes of color when
he heard human voices and thus could
tell the color of voice. This man ana
lyzed his impressions very carefully and
found that the flash of color reached him
Immediately before the sound did. In.
stances of this connection between light
and sound are sufficiently numerous to
be scientifically established.
The explanation of the phenomenon
is perhaps not so difficult In the we'll
known theory of the correlation of forces
sound, heat and light are considered to
be all produced by the more or less
rapid vibrations of one and the same
ether. A disturbance Of this ether in
varying vibrations might therefore pro-
duce both sound and color at the same
moment and by the same operation.
This, in fact, is what does happen.
Every note in music has its own CORE
spending color. Red is the color Of g, it
is said, deeper or brighter according to
whether it be middle G, high G or that
Of the lower register:
Acting on this theory, a Mr.. Riving
ton Of London has invented an instru-
ment he calls "color organ" It is q
wonderful device. AS the musician
strikes the keys there is cast upon a
screen succession Of rhythmic color
waves in beauty surprising description.
They are something like the everchang-
ing figures of kaleidoscope. Perhaps
by means Of this invention deaf people
who cannot hear a note Of music may
nevertheless in time be enabled to en-
joy it as fully as if it reached their au-
ditory nerves.

The signal corps Of the United States
army has made considerable use of the
bicycle as means Of quick locomotion
from one point to another. Army bicy-
cling is something new. At first it was
tried with hesitation, but now oonsid-
cradle number Of additional wheels will
be added to the equipments of the sig
nal corps. General Miles is strongly in
favor of the silent steed. When he comes
to be the head of the army. it will prob
ably cut still more of a figure in mill
tary operations. In case of difficulty
with Indians q man flying upon wheel
would be much harder to hit than a
man on horseback.

this. Other things being equal, a loco

moved in sections, carried up any stair

again in q little room. This will be a

fore the gaze Of a crowd Of ad,niring
spectators and being hoisted in at a
fourth Or fifth story window because
the staircase is too narrow to take it
up that way has long been a common

sections will abate much hard work and
