ward. 1t is not to be put on. like n
clerical coat or the veil of religious,
but is that inward adornment of which
the, Scriptures speak. and as to which
they lnculcate modesty of demeanor.
fothiug is more beautiful than that
qu;et, transformations piety which
springs from a full apprehension of the
dement's of self and of the merits and
mercy of Jesus Christ; relying upon
Him, living in Him, and living
for Him. All assumptions of piety
are offensive; they SAVIOR of
hypocrisy; they indicate pride
which comes from the exaltation
Of self and from desire to get credit
for religious devotion. Our Saviour
distinguished this class of persons in
His condemnation of those who love
to pray standing in the synagogs and
IN the corners of the sire cts, that they
may be seen of men" We have need
to remember His injunction: Take
heed that ye do not your righteousness
before men to be seen of them; other
wise We have no reward your Father
which is in Heaven"
Genuine piety can always be dis.
tinguished from the spurious type. 1t
never advertises itself. 1t never seeks
to make itself conspicuous. 1t never
tries to illicit the praise of men, but
seeks by secret prayer and personal
devotion to worship the Creator and
Redeemer in spirit and in truth. N.

FREE OF BLOOD.
Remarkable Optical Experiment of In
terest to Anatomists Generally.

Remarkable Optical Experiment of In
terest to ANTAGONISTS Generally.
The most wonderful optical expert
ment known to the eye experts is that
which produces the blood tree" or
'the arborescent figure of Purkinje."
1t is very simple and entertaining
experiment and one from which no
possible harm to the eye can result
The experiment is an optical delusion
in which the retina of the eye and all
the blood vessels connected Herewith
appear to stand out in the air in such
a manner that the experimental has a
splendid view of them.
Purkinje, the great optician, acct
dentally made this discovery of the
''blood tree" or ''arborescent figure"
which bears his name, several years
ago, and since his time it has been
used in thousands of test experiments.
The projected image is called the ''ar-
borescent figure" because of its re-.
semblance to a manybranched tree,
and is produced in the following man
ner: Shut yourself up in a dark room
at night and move candle back and
forth very rapidly before the eyes.
After few seconds the air surround
ing the candle will assume deep pink
or reddish color, which rapidly takes
upon itself the appearance of a sea of
blood. Over this red background ram
flying in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels standing out
in bold relief, while toward the center
of the figure there appears dark,
trunk like line which serves as
body" for your tree of blood" the
trunk being most plainly visible
where the optic nerve enters the eye.
This experiment is chiefly interest
ing because it proves that the parts of
the retina which actually receive inn
pressions ard produce sensations must
lie behind the blood vessels, since these
cast their shadows up,n it and enable
the experimenter to see them as plain
ly as he does any other external OBJ

QUEEN ISABELLA.
A Lady and an Autocrat-Gracious, Gem
tie and ImperiOus.

A Lady and an Autocrat-Gracious,G Cen
tie and ImperiOus.
ISABELLA was lady, she was queen,
and, above all, she was an autocrat.
Gracious and gentle in her manner, She
brooked no opposition from prince or
peer, and she soon made it known and
felt throughout Spain that, although
she was the daughter of John ii. and
the sister of Henry ", her will was
law in CASTLE. Beautiful, virtuous,
discreet, with that highest expression
of proud dignity that is seen in a pc
culiar simplicity of manner, with a
hard heart and fair countenance, an
intlexible will and a mild manner
something of a Journalist, more of a
bigot-lsa bella united much that was
characteristic of old CASTLE with not a
little that was characteristic of new
Spain. And if her boldness was inher-
tied from the Cid, her bigotry was be-
queathed to Philip II.
No man can read the history of the
times without being struck by the
enormous personal influence of Isa-
bella. An accomplished horsewoman,
tireless traveller, indefatigable in her
attention to business of state, the
queen with her court moved about
from place to place, swift to punish
crime and to encourage virtue, boldly
composing the difficulties and compel
ling the submission of rival mobiles,
frowning upon the iaxity of the cler-
gy, denouncing the heresy of the peo-
pie, and laying heavy hand upon
enemies of every degree and evil
doors of every class In Andalusia the
unaccustomed and unexpected pres
ence of the sovereign was everywhere
productive of peace and order. Even
in the remotest districts of Galicia the
royal power was felt Over fifty fort
resses, the strongholds of knightly
robbers, were RACED to the ground, and
fifteen hundred noble highwaymen
were forced to fly the Kingdom

Tho Choices of Life.

Life is bundle of alternatives
Each tick of the clock calls us to a
choice. The alternatives come to us
as independent propositions, invita-
tions, demands However they may
seem to stand apart, the vital princi-
pie in the one projects itself forward
into the next, and the choosing for one
is, in some degree, the choosing for
all. We may choose to-day whom we
will serve. In the face of temptations
and trials, we shall have to choose to-
morrow also. But it is the part which
the choice Of the present moment plays
in the choice of the next, to make it
easier or more difficult, that gives it a
browning value. The present is the
apex of Importance. Now is the ac-
cepted time. S. S. Time.

CHRISTIAN FAILINGS.
They Are an Evidence of Hypocracy More
Apparent Than Rest

They Are an Evidence of Hypocracy More
Apparent Than Rest.
In all Christians there are imperfec-
tions. Ministers of the Gospel preach
a higher standard of living than they
practice. They preach that Christians
should always be meek and patient,
and yet many of them are often impa-
tlent. They preach the life of trust,
and yet many of them worry about
their livelihood and the results of their
ministry. They preach that the Chris
tlan should become more and more
ChriSt-like, but some of them at the
age of four-score years seem to have
added very little to the beauty and
strength of their characters. If this is
true of many ministers it probably has
larger application to Christians in gem
eral
These discrepancies between preach
ing and practice seem to many unbe-
levers as evidence of hypocrisy. While
Christians ought not to condone their
own faults and rest satisfied with an
immature or imperfect Christian char
acter, their sincerity should not be
questioned because they have not at
tanned to the fullness of their faith.
Let critics of Christians try for time
the life which they know a Christian
should live, and they will understand
better why there are so many failures.

LOSS OF THE HAT.

Nothing Makes Man Madder Than tn
Have That Article Stolen.
Nothing makes a man madden" said
a philosopher, ethan to lose his hat.
To have it blown from his head in the
street is bitter embarrassment; to lose
1t accidentally is a severe misfortune,
and to have it stolen is the deepest,
blacklist outrage that one can suffer.
That is one crime which man can
never forgive. The theft of almost any
other personal belonging may possibly
be condoned or eventually forgotten.
The loss of an umbrella is often cXas-
perating, out at worst it only exposes a
man to the pelting rain, but take away
a mans headgear and you strike him a
vital blow. l don't know why it is that
n man is so sensitive about having his
head covered. A woman will go bare
headed with perfect self-possession. Of
course, she has more hair than a man,
but then she will drape shawl or a
handkerchief over her head al1 feel
perfectly comfortable. But remove q
mans hat and you rob him ut the same
time Of all confidence and self-respect
He feels utterly helpless and exposed to
scorn and contumely, as we'll as to the
sun and wind. He is conscious of his
ludicrous state and imagines that every
body is laughing at him, which stirs
his wrath to the boiling point.
Occasionally you may see man
rush out of doors bareheaded in mo-
ment of great excitement, but as soon
as he comes TO his senses the first thing
he will seek is some kind of head
covering. The merest apology for a
cap or hat will suffice. but without it
he feels lost. Possibly this sentiment
is lcllc of the barbaric days. when all
mankind went helmctcd, at the mercy
of their enemies. At any rate. the
habit of hat-wearing has been cult
waited SO long that it has become second
nature"

Some Big Chunks of Gold.

That story in the Sun about the
finding of geld nugget in the min
ing regions OF Patagonia worth So .0007
said Col. T. Brooks, who has been
gold miner in California and Arizona
for forty.ffve years, seem to have
made great commotion among those
miners down in South America, but
that was only boy Of a nugget by
the side of many that have been
taken out of the earth and rocks of
California. Daniel Hill, who died of
delerium tremens in Jail at Los An
geles several years ago, was the luck
lest man [ ever knew or heard of get
ting suddenly rich twice. he dug
two chunks of solid gold out of the
gravel as simply and easily as man
rolls stone out on the hillside. The
tirstnugget was found III 1866, in the
Ruby Belle claim, north of Plumas.
1t was as large as aman's head and
was combined with water stained
quartz. G. p. Huntington's brother
In Sacramento bought it for $1,000
cash down. In the fall of 1871, he
was placer mining on his own account
in Dutch Flats, and by hunkey, he
washed out another nugget of gold
and quartz about the size and shape
OF horses hoof. He quit work and
went right down to Frisco, where he
got $4,000 for his lucky find. He
had spent every dime of his fortune in
six months, and went back to hard
work in the mountains again. But
that ended his streak of luck, and he
never made over SO in any one day
after that; more often 50 to So day
and sometimes not dime"
