culiar kind OF q gitterai tone, strinsing
the words together In a rough doggerel
which II would be impossible TO translate.
She said that the gentleman came from the
tea coast, that he was In great trouble
because his sister had an incurable malady
and that he had one brother who was a Free
Mason. All of this was true. the questioner
afterward said. with the exception OF hs
brother being a Free Mason. He had not
seen his brother. however. for several years
and he said II was quite probable that be

Others put various questions with much
the eame result. One curious blunder
was made. One OF tho ladies In the party
asked II her son would marry and the
answer was that he had been married nine
years. The eon OF this lady was a boy
fourteen years old.

Ingenious Use OF Photography.

Before the DAYS of books parchments
became so costly that economical schol-
ars erased more or less perfectly what
had been written. and used them a Sec
ond time. In this manner some highly
interesting and valuable manuscripts
have been lost 10 the world. But in
many cases the ancient characters are
still family visible.
Unlicensed parchmeuts are called
palimpsests, and many modern scholars
have strained their eyes in the effort To
~decipher the original writing.
Recent photography has been success
fully applied in Germany for this work.
The color OF the faded ink of the older
writing on a p~alimpsest is yellow. A
photograph Of such a manuscript was
made through a yellow screen. The
result was a negative on which the old
writing was barely discernible, being a
little darker than the background, while
the later black writing appeared dis
tinctly as white letters.
Next an ordinary negative on a brou-
idc plate was made, and from this was
produced a transparent positive on
which both writings appeared dark aud
about equally distinct. Then the trans
parency was superimposed on the first
negative, so that the dark letters of the
later writing covered the light letters,
representing the same writing in the
negative. They were thus eliminated,
being indistinguishably merged with
the general dark background produced
by the combination Of positive and neg
alive. But the earlier characters. since
they were dark in both cases. appeared
in the combination intensely black and
di~tinct.

They met and they talked where the cross
roads meet,
-Four men from four winds come;
And they talked Of the horse, for they
loved the theme,
And never a man was dumb.
And the man from tho north loved the
strength Of the horse,
And the man from the east his pace,
And the man from the south loved the
speed of the horse.
The man from the west his grace.
SO these four men from the four winds
came,
Each paused a space in his course
And smiled In the face Of his fellow man
And lovingly talked Of the horse.
Then each man parted and went his way
As their different courses ran:
AND each man ~JOurneyed with peace In his
heart
n loving his fellow man.
They met the next year where the cross
roads meet,
-Four men from the four winds come:
And II CHANGED az they met that they
talked OF God.
And never a man was dumb.
One imaged God In the shape OF a man,
A spirit dId one insist:
One said that nature Itself was God,
One said that ne didn't exist.
Put they dashed each other with tongues
hat stung,
That smote as with a rod:
Each glared In tire face o. his fellow man,
And ~Tathfully talked Of God.
Then each man parted anu vent his way,
AS their different courses rai:
And each man journeyed with war - his
heart,
And hating his fellow man.

BY JOHN STRANGE WINTER.

After this II IL safe to say that the
neighborhood went mad with nger ana
fear, and the trade In thief-proof and fire
proof safes was 30 brisk that the makers
had hard work TO get them set In their
places rs fast as they were ordered. In
the town itself the excitement was last
and furious. thu teaspoons disappeared

paste ornaments, and every evening about
the hours OF ten TO twelve, you might hear
such IA rafting OK chains and shooting OF
bolts, such O barring OF windows n
tlngling Of bells, that you might have Inn

tics. But, though half the detectives IN
Scotland Yard seemed to make their ap-
pearance at one time or other, ask ques-
lions and look wise, or prowl round and
neither ask questions nor look anything
one way or the OTTER, there was not a
trace 20 be found OF the missing Jewels
and plate, pot q single trace. In every

Perhaps the oply person in the town

by all these dreadful occurrences was the

herself said, though Of course she was
dreadfully sorry for tear Lady Lucifer
and Miss Lithgow, and for Mrs. Lovelace

MONEY MAKING AS AN ART.
The Quickest Way 10 Pile Up Money In
This Business IRA.

The reasuu vi the modern difference
in favor OF business as an instrument Of
money making is not far TO seek, saws
the London Spectator. 1t is the enor-
mou growth In the scale OF everything
in which business can be doue. The
enterprise Of merchant, of a contractor,
Of a mine dealer, even Of a shop-keeper,
may now cover the whole world, and
may be carried on, moreover, mainly
upon credit. Ii NAV be doubted wheth-
Ell, except Ia those transactions which
are called financial. " aud which really
mean the taking Of heavy brides Tor
pecuniary support, any n transaction
ever yields quite az much as the sme
tranaction would have yielded sixty
years ago: whether, for example, any
cargo ever produces ton for ton an
equal margin Of profit; or whether any
customer in A shop pays quite so heavy
a percentage on the goods he buys. 1t
is the magnitude and multiplication Of
cargoes which yield fortunes, the thou
sands instead Of hundreds OF customers
whom clever dealers may induce TO
spend money. The new system OF rap
id turnover is OF course precisely the
same t%hing-the dealer selling four
times what he did and using only the
same capital. This advantage Of scale
is almost entirely wanting to the pro-
fessional man for the obvious reason
that he is hampered by ~litigations ei
time.
There are only 600 minutes in a hard
worked day, and the seeker after in
come. be he rs able IA he may. or as de-
cided, or as rapid. must give some of
those minutes to each client or patient
Or contractor with a difficulty To meet.

cheaper; but still the favorites must give
their advice, and lose their days in do
ing it. or they will speedily be deserted.
Nothing can altar this first law. while
the exaggeration of professional fees is
kept down, in the case OF solicitors, By
positive statute, in that OF doctors by an
etiquette difficult to define or explain
there seems to be reason why a great
physician should not charge according
to skill-and in that of barrister and en-
gineers, by a competition, which, though
never acknowledged. Is none the less
real and effective. We cannot see what
is TO altar this condition Of affairs. aud
do not believe that, however c~iviliza-
ton may develop itseif, professional
skill will ever again Oe the quickest
road 10 large accumulations.
