Does the Eve See?

The question asked in the headline
may sound odd to you if you have never
taken the trouble to give the subject
serious thought, but venture the broad
statement that you are not able to an
swer the question "offhand. It is an
admitted fact, must confess, that the
eye is the "organ of vision" yet there
is but little doubt, even in the minds of
opticians and Psychologists, that the
phenomena Of seeing" is chiefly men
tain other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that "sees" How often
have you seen a friend who seemingly
was engaged in looking intently a.
some object on the table, at the opposite
side Of the room or at some picture, who
on being aroused from his day dream
would confess that he was looking at
nothing in particular. The explana-
ton of the fact that he saw nothing in
particular is plain enough if properly
set forth. 1t is because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces, bits Of wayside scenery, etc. I.
were being presented to view in the
panorama of the mind, and the minds
eye"-or mental vision-was engaged
in eagerly scanning pictures Of impress
sions made thereon months, years or
scores Of years before. Another test Of
this mind vision theory is to shut your
eyes tightly and then ply the brain to
the task Of recalling faces and forms
that have not been seen by the eye for
years. And, again, If you want to know
whether your companion looked at his
watch with his brain or his eyes, ask
him the time Of day after he puts the
timepiece in his pocket. st. Louis Re-

Cheap Lodging For a Prince.

Accidentally bill of an inn at Pas
seller, Tyrol, was discovered among the
papers of recently deceased member of
the official household of Emperor Will
liam l, which gives an idea Of the cost
Of living at that time. In 1851 William,
then prince of Prussia, with a suit of
six companions, stopped at the inn. The
lodging for the company amounted to IL
kreutzer-5 cents. The breakfast coffee
was more expensive, however, kreut-
yer for each cup. e., az cents. A
dish of milk was cent, three eggs for l
cent. The dinner at the inn, consisting
of soup, meat, roast, fruit, preserves and
wine, cost 81 kreutzer each, or less than
II cents apiece. The total expense of
lodging, breakfast and dinner for the
party amounted to 2 forms and 25
kreutzer, or about 80 cents.

st. Elmo's Light.

The atmospheric delusion known as
st. Elmo's fire, or st. Elmo's light, gets
its name from a. curious old legend of
st. Adelelm, who, having started one
dark and stormy night to visit the bishop
of Auvergne, lighted candle to guide
him ON the way. 1t was wholly unpro-
tected by anything like covering; but,
notwithstanding the fact that the wind
blew furiously and the rain fell in tor
rents, sit continued to burn with "a
bright and steady fame" The news of
this miraculous occurrence soon spread
in all Catholic countries and soon found
place in the monkish manuscripts, where
it was declared that the good Adelelm
must have really been attended by ST.
Elmo and his fire. st. Louis Republic

Ready For the Cholera.

Some years ago there was an outbreak
of cholera in France. and instructions
were forwarded to the mayor of a Ger
tain village to take all necessary precau-
tions, as the epidemic was rapidly spread
ing.
At first our worthy magistrate did not
know what to do. After awhile, how
ever, he reported that he was ready to
receive the dread visitor. Upon inquiry
being made, it was discovered that by
his orders a sufficient number of graves
had been dug in the local cemetery to
bury the entire parish if required. -

His Thirst Was Very Precious.

Some years ago while travelling from
Kansas City to st. Louis the seat in
front of me was occupied by typical
cattleman and man who looked like an
eastern clergyman. The western man, a
whole souled, genial fellow, after tell
ing his companion all about his western
ranch and about the business which call
ed him to Chicago, reached down in his
grip and drew forth bottle of generous
proportions.
"Pardner," said he, "there's the best
liquor west of Kansas City. Throw a
hooker into you and give me your opin-
ion"
The clerical looking man, though ter
ribly shocked, managed to say, Friend,
I have not drunk for 10 years. "
The Texan jumped from his seat and
exclaimed: "Great guns I would give
$1,000 for your thirst. Chicago

A BALL AT The ELYSEE.
How the Plain Dress of Our Minister There
Distinguishes Him.

A modern ball at the palace of the
Elysee, in Paris, where the president of
France lives, is an extraordinarily bril-
liant and picturesque sight, for, besides
the military trappings and gold braid of
the army officers and the exquisite, del
icately tinted toilets and elaborate Golf
fures of the Frenchwomen, there are the
varied "habits" of the many members
of the diplomatic corps. These uniforms
alone are sufficient to furnish brilliant
mass of color and elaborate display.
Described in detail and according to
their nations, they are these:
France. A coat of dark blue, en-
broidered with gold ornaments and
leaves.
Russia. "A green tunic, embroidered
in silver and figured in lilac.
Germany.-A dark blue coat, en-
broidered in gold and faced with gold
ornaments.
Austria.-A coat of green cloth, en-
broidered with gold acanthus palm.
England.-A coat Of dark blue, also
embroidered with an acanthus palm of
gold
Italy.-A coat of royal blue, embroid-
cred with golden leaves.
Spain.-A coat of blue, embellished
with gold leaves and ornaments.
Portugal coat of blue with golden
leaves.
1t should be remembered that the rank
of diplomat is shown by the embroid-
cries that adorn his uniform. The high
er standing he has the greater the
amount of gold that is upon his person.
ambassadors and ministers plenipoten-
tiary have their collars and cuffs, their
breasts and the facings of their pockets
set off with golden thread. The secre-
taries of embassies and the various con-
sui generals have just shade less of
adOrnment on their uniforms.
From an overplusage of gold lace the
other extreme is reached in the conven-
tional evening clothes Of the American
ambassador, who appears a solemn and
marked figure in the gay assemblages in

WHO SETS THE FASHIONS,
Evidence That the Royal Ladies Of Eng
land Do Sometimes.

land Do Sometimes.
The late Mr.. Worth, the Partisan king
of dressmakers, once said that it fire.
quently took him as long as three years
to educate the public up to one of his
fashions, and to have it adopted. He of
course has set great many fashions in
his time, but the dressmakers are not re-
sponsible for most of the changes that
take place.
1t is simpler thing for a man like
the Prince Of Wales, who is generally
admitted to be the best dressed gentle
man in Europe, to change fashion in
mems clothing than it is for lady in
society to change the fashion Of the time,
or to bring in new one. But any of the
recognized fashion leaders, such as the
Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess Of
Dudley, Lady Brooke, the Countess Gros-
venor or Mrs. CORVALLIS West, can, if
they persist long enough, bring in a
fashion which will soon become general
ly popular.
For instance, the Duchess of Portland,
after her marriage, had strong inclina-
ton for Malmaison carnations as button
holes, and wore them on every possible
occasion. Before that time they were
not much sought after, but very soon all
the florists in Bond street and Regent
street had a great display Of them in
their windows
The Princess of Wales is not fashion
setter, but is one of those most sensible
ladies who favor comfortable costumes
and tailor made gowns, and who does
not run to the extreme modes. She
dresses, however, with excellent taste.
Another matter in which the royal
family are very conservative is theway IN
which they wear their hair. At the time
when the "bun chignon" came in not
one of the young princesses adopted it,
although it was extremely fashionable.
Curled fringes, as is we'll known, are
very popular with the royal family.
Sometimes the fashions are introduced
quite by chance. A few years ago, when
a well known beauty was married to a
young nobleman, the bride decreed that
her bridesmaids should wear dark velvet
hats with ostrich feathers. At first ev-
cry one was very much surprised, but
the idea caught on, and during 1892 at
two-thirds Ct the fashionable weddings
dark velvet hats were worn with light
dresses -Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Silver TOngued Politician.
The catch-penny, picayune calibre of
the average politician was never more
forcibly illustrated than in the silver con-
troversy now before the people. They Of
course do not care particle about the

gold or silver, which ever they may deem
most likely to make far weather for
them with the people. Plague take such
demagogy and servility Of principles
These fellows only want votes to get into

majority of our people are ignorant and
mislead into the silver craze, they are in
it, too-not for principle, but for votes.
We ask our readers 10 keep their eyes

ness principles, are sure to win in the
