LOOK THROUGH MINE EYES WITH
 THINE.

Look through mine eyes with thine. True wife, Round my true heart thine arms intwine My other dearer life in life,
 Look through my very soul with thinei Untouched with any shade of years, May those kind eyes forever dwelli They have not shed a many tears, Dear eyes, since first knew them well. Yet tears they shed. They had their part Of sorrow, for when time was ripe The still affection of the heart Became ap outward breathing type, That into stltness passed again And left want unknown before, Although the loss that brought us pain, That loss but made us love the more, With farther bookings on. The kiss, The woven arpls, seem but to be Weak symbols of the settled bliss, The comfort, I have found in thee. But that God bless thee, dear, who wrought Two spirits to one equal mind, With blessings beyond hope or thought, With blessings which no words can find.

A Courteous Assassin.

Sonora Canovas del Castillo wife of
 the premier, who was but a short dis
 tance away from her husband when the crime was committed, rushed to his
 side upon hearing the shots and, seeing the premier dying on the ground, she bitterly reproached the murderer for his crime. Golli, in reply to the ago. nizing words of the distracted wife, said:
 'I respect you because you are an honorable lady. But I have done my duty, and I am now easy in my mind, for I have avenged my friends and brothers of Montjuich."
 Montjuich is the fortress of Barcelona outside of which the anarchists who have been sentenced to death for recent outrages have been executed by being shot in the back. The anarchists re-
 gently executed outside Montjuich were
 the last batch of the fiends who were
 guilty of throwing a bomb on June ',
 1896, into religious procession about to
 enter the church of Santa Maria de la
 Mar, upon the occasion of the Corpus
 Christi celebration. Twelve persons
 were instantly killed and about 50 oth-
 CTS, several of whom have since died
 from their wounds, were injured. For
 this crime 26 anarchists were sentenced
 to death and the majority of them were
 executed. The condemned men invari-
 ably shouted, Long live anarchy!" just before the orders to fire were given.
 The Spanish newspapers express great indignation at Golli's crime. Even the periodicals which have republican leanings praise the services of the de-
 ceased statesman. The Imparcial says:
 Yesterday will prove a black date for Spain. The crime will centuple the in-
 of iafx Ia be destroyers."
 Many of the newspapers today appear with black borders around their types A Post Mortem Made. A post mortem examination of the remains of the premier was made today, prior to embalming them for transpor- taton to this city. The funeral will be most imposing.
 The indignation expressed at the crime is shared by all parties in politics. and it is generally believed that the members of the colonial secret societies were concerned in the outrage. It is reported that Senor A. Pidal, president of the chamber of deputies, will be appointed president of the council of ministers, in succession to the late premier, at the expiration of the official nine days mourning. The ministers, for the present, will meet daily. Golli, it developed at the examination before magistrate today, succeeded in firing two shots at the people who ar ! rested him before he was overpowered. The assassin calls himself a "revolu- tionary anarchist"

MOST FAMOUS OF DENTISTS.

DR.. Thomas ". Evans, who has returned
temporarily to his native land, seems, from
mis- own statement, 10 have been as success
ful in real estate speculation in Europe as
he has. been lately in Philadelphia. The
beginning of his fortune is said to have
been an opportunity to buy land in the
neighbprhood of the Bois de Boulogne for a
very small price, which cannot be bought
today for many times the sum he paid for
1T. During the days of the Second Empire
he was a friend Of Napoleon III, before

friendship with the Empress Eugene This
began long before she was married TO Ma
poleon, and her mother had been one OF
his clients. While she was schoolgirl in
Paris Dr Evans got an invitation for her
To one OF the balls given by Napoleon when
he was President. Napoleon, it seems, had
como under DR. Evans professional minis
trations when he was only claimant 10
the throne. The first royal client that DR.
Evans ever had was the King of Belgium,
father OF the present Leopold. II was when
the Crown Prince Frederick was taken TO

to have had any part in the operation per

crown princes throat after the operation
was performed Nobody lad thought to pro-

called in as a friend by the present Dow

apron, and began TO work with /, blow

He was kept at work ali night, but there
was a beautifully made silver tube ready
for the operation the next morning. DR.

Russia are said TO have been effected in
improving the looks OF several of its mem
bers. His care has prevented their teeth
from following their natural tendency to

POPULAR DELUSI0Ns.

"Nine out of ten people believe" said
surgeon, that the eye can be taken out
for repairs, Just like the works of a
watch, and again replaced In the socket
precisely as 1t was before. A moments
reflection ought to show anyone how i'm
possible thi b would be. As matter offact,
the eyeis heldin place by no fewer than six
taut muscles, and. III order To turn 1t out
oil the socket, at least four OF these would
have to be cut through. Besides, it is Con
nected with the brain by thick nerve
which cannot be stretched, and ii is also
connected With the inside of the skull by
blood-vessels, and If these were cut they
could never be reunited. Perhaps a time
will come when dead man can he restored
TO life; but you may feel perfectly sure
that the removal and restoration of the
eve is surgical feat that " Ill never be
performed.
another extraordinary popular belief
is that respecting the nature OF "a CON.

1T Sc ems small thing TO make mis-
take about the value OF beef tea 10 a
sick man, but / can assure you that
hundreds of lives have been lost through
the popular error that beef tea is
nourishing food. 1t is nothing more than
water in which the pleasant and stimuIaI-
ing salts OF the beef are dissolved, and
has the same effect as mixture Of

a particle OF nutriment, and both doctors

lie wing that II has.
Very similar is the belief that an egg
is as good as a pound of meat. If you
feed yourself on eggs according To this
absurd theory, you viii simply shrivei
up into skin and bone. The real value
OF AN egg is its weight in good beef; so
that it would take eight eggs Of the
average size to supply the place of d
pound Of meat.
Then there Is the universal fallacy
about the liver. ! dare say that a null
lion of money is spent every year on the
lvers OF Great Britain, and about nine
hundred thousand or that sum does
harm instead OF good. The liver is sub
ject TO about one hundred discusses, and the
cure for any one Of these ma intensity any
other OF the ninety-nine. To take one
ease as an example. The liver may be
making too much bile, or { may be making
too little Obviously, the remedy for one
of these disorders would make the other

this, in addition to the recent books which
have lain neglected IN the old Library,
Will bring the new Library strictly up to
date.
Another section of literature which has
been somewhat neglected by the Library
was in Tie matter OF copyrighted plays.
In past years there seemed to be no defi-
mite understanding us to when play was
copyrighted Tie law was vague on the
subject. A little over a year ago, however,
the theatrical managers secured the pas
sage of a new law, by which a play can
now be fully copyrighted and the author pro-
tected from infringement. Under this law
each play has to be printed in book or
pamphlet form, and two copies sent TO the
Library, to be placed on file. As several
thousand plays are copyrighted In year
by aspiring dranatists, this last proviso
adds an enormous amount Of work to the
clerks OF the Library.
Probably 50 out of every 100 OF these
plays are never presented, and are of
such character that no one would dream
OF infringing on the copyright, but still
the author insists OH having them copy
righted, and then pays to have them printed
in order that the Library may be made the

OF new plays has poured IN Oh the Librar y
sicne the passage OF the play copyright

be cataiogued and filed away for refer
ence.
There arc a thousand and one Things in
connection with the removal of the books
that the average man who goes up to the
Library to admire the exquisite workman
ship and art of the new Library never
dreams Of, but John Russell Young has TO
think OF all these things. In fact, Mr..
Young himself never has time to dream Of
them. Itisto be edoubtedif harder worked
