1t was the face of the woman whom
he had more or less loved 30 years be-

her.
"What does it mean?" he asked.
"How is it that you have not changed?'
He was frightened.

He heard the water murmuring be-

Slowly and mechanically he stepped

The lamentable death of Charles Ma

and at the height of his reputation was,
the newspapers said, the result of acoi-

called with some jubilation that 1t had

John Atkinson. Mublenberg lawyer,
is a wag of whom the jacksonville
(Ky.) Hustler tells a story illustrative
Of the fact that even In the presence of
death the ruling passion asserts itself.
He became i'll at his home in Green

heart diseage, and a physician was hastily
summoned. When he arrived. John
was gasping for breath, and his friends
expected him to die at any minute.
When the doctor asked him what was
the matter, he coolly replied, "Doc, I
have an intimation that my case is
about to be called, and If possible I
want to get continuance.
The doctor went to work and, CON-
trary to everybody's expectation, did
ret John continuance, and he is still

RICHES IN TRIPLES.

SOme Big Fortunes That Have Come From
Little Inventions.
1t has become almost an axiom with
the majority that larger fortunes are to
be raised from some simple invention
than from difficult and expensive inven-
tons that involve a great outlay of
money to manufacture. This is to
certain extent true A certain Ameri-
can patent for fastening kid gloves has
yielded a fortune of several hundred
thousand dollars for its fortunate owner,
and the inventor of collar clasp enjoys
$40, 900 royalty year as the reward
for his endeavor. A new kind of sleeve
button has made $50, 900 in five years
for it's patentee, and the simple twisting
of safety pins in such way that there
is no possible danger of the point stick
ing in the child promises to enrich its
owner beyond any of his early dreams
of wealth. A man one day turned a
piece of wire SO as to hold cork more
securely in bottle and forthwith some
body saw brilliant idea and patented
the modern wire stopper holder, which
is now used annually on several million
bottles. The accidental bending of a
hairpin by woman to prevent it from
sliding out of her hair SO easily produc-
ed fortune for her husband, who i'm
mediately saw the possibilities Of a
orinkled hairpin for women.
Instances could be multiplied indefi-
nitely of large fortunes being made from
small inventions, but fortunately for
those inventors who make life study
of intricate problems df mechanics and
disdain to waste their talents upon
trivial, popular articles of the day
there is often also ample reward held
in store for the products that take years
to produce and which revolutionize ex-
listing methods of industry and me-
chanics
Edison has reaped hon,rs and riches
of prinoely character from his discov-
cries; Mccormick has realized in his
reaper the fortunes of millionaire; the
Oorliss engine brought honors and dec
orations to its inventor and enabled
him to amass great fortune in few
years; Professor Bell found in his tele-
phone not only the contamination of his
early hopes and ambitions, but a sub
stantial pecuniary reward; harveyized
steel armor has become synonymous
with the inventors name, and it brings
an annual income of huge proportions
to its discoverer; Elias Howe, the in
ventor of the sewing machine, realized
over 1000, 900 from his inventions,
and Nikola Tesla, though still young
and rich in promises, finds an album
dance of money in his work. George
Ethelbert Walsh in Casters Magazine.

SAILING.
SOUTH WIND.
Bright skies above us.

SOUTH WIND.
Bright skies above us,
White clouds drifting overi
Blue spreads the sea, all simmer and flash.
Boom well off and lazy helm creaking,
Music of ripples, like kingfsher's plash.
Gurgle and splash
Chuckles the water,
Silver to windward, sapphire to lee.
Sunshine of nature,
Skylights wide open
IT'S pleasure to sail on a summer sea.
DUE WEST.
Filing of wind blasts,
Drumming of halyardsi
Beckons the deep where the green waves run
Sheets close hauled and helm hard a-weather,
Rainbow shot spray flung aloft in the sun.
Rise, plungel
Dips the bow under.
Mount and away on the back of the sea.
Joy of swift motion,
Infinite distance
IT'S rapture to sail when the winds blow free.
NORTHEAST.
Howl Of the tempest,
Thunder of breakersi
Foam dashing high on close reefed sail.
Skipping the white crests, leaping the hollows,
Swoop down the wind, like gull in the gale.
Roll ROLL
Rush the seas after.
Flashes the beacon as homeward we go.
Thrill of the elements,
Soul self assertive-
IT'S passion to sail when the storm winds blow.

The shah,s rurkish EmbassadOr.

His excellency Mira Mahmoud Khan,
the shah's ambassador at Constantine
pie, holds his distinguished Office upon
conditions which are quite without prec-
edent in the diplomatic world. The
Lord of the Lion and the Sun does not
devote penny of his revenue to main
tanning representative at STEAMBOAT.
He has In that city about 10, 600 sub
jects, and these are duly taxed for the
purpose. Mira Mahmoud hasno reason
to complain of the arrangement, for by
the help of half dozen ablebodied col
lectors he secures an income of about
ego, 900. True, he is compelled to hand
over "a, 900 yearly to his colleague at
Vienna, but the balance enables him to
live very comfortably. The contribu-
tors, however, insist upon his spending
a certain amount on hospitality, and
whenever he gives dinner party to the
corps diplomatique committee of tax
payers is posted in an anteroom, whence
they can satisfy themselves that their
ambassador does the thing in proper
style and keeps up the dignity of the
nation. London Chronicle.

INDIAN MAGIC.
10 Is Often Beyond the Power Of the
Wfsest TO Explain It

10 Is Often Beyond the Power Of the
Wisest TO Explain 1t.
One need not go to the realms of
space, or time, or figures to meet with
the inoomprehensible. Despite modern
science and ingenuity this word still re-
mains the only applicable epithet for
some Of the achievements of Indian con-
aurers. We can smile at the luminous
appearance OF the beautiful face before
which as the revelation Of Osiris the
old Egyptians Frustrated themselves in
awe-for the marvels of the magic Ian
tern are familiar to u.s. the early exist
enoe Of gunpowder gives an easy ex-
PLANTATION of the oraole's lightning and
thunder, the weird harmony of Mem
non was merely the result of an in
genious mechanical contrivanoe-but
shrewd travellers of later date, whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell of
much more inexplicable things than
these. One of the best known writers
on ocoultism, Jacolliot, has left an ac-
count of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn in India which, as
they seem to defy explanation, may
fairly be olassed among things incom-
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentally met and who re-
quired some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually af-
firmed, were the work of other intelli-
gences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from
tree, with holes in each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the level of
the mold. Standing at considerable
distance, the fakir made a gesture with
his hands A slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves quiv-
cred and gradually worked upward on
the sticks. Jscolliot placed himself be-
tween the flowerpots and the operator,
placed the sticks in the flooring and
adopted every means he could imagine
to Illustrate any triekery, but nothing
he did made any difference to the move
ment Of the leaves
The more familiar feat of the SEEM
ingly supernatural growth of flowers
was utterly ecljpsed by another instance
vouehed for by the same narrator. His
own servant brought him score or SO
of seeds, from which he selected and
marked one. The fakir planted 1t in
pot Of earth, muttered some words over
it and fell into sort of trance, which
lasted about 80 minutes He then
awoke, uncovered the pot and discover
ed a Seeding two or three inches high.
Jacolliot examined 1t and found it had
sprung from the seed which he had
marked.
With touch of peacock s feather
the fakir depressed a balance Of a com
mon weighing machine in daily use in
the household, though in the other was
a weight of 10 stone, and with dis
tant motion of his hand he made shay
ings of wood to sink or move in water.
Still more marvellous is the description
of the manner in which this veritable
eastern wizard was able to set at de-
fiance the law of gravity. On this occa-
sion, when leaving the room, he paused
on the threshold, folded his arms, and,
by simple act of volition, raised him
self from the floor and remained poised
in air for some minutes. - London

REST.

We are SO tired, my heart and I,
OF all things here beneath the sky.
One only thing would please us best
Endless unfathomable rest.
We are SO tired. We ask no more
Than just to slip out by life's door
And leave behind the noisy rout
And everlasting turn about
Once it seemed well to run on too
With her importunate fevered crew
And snatch amid the frantic strife
Some morsel from the board of life.
But we are tired At lifes crude hands
We ask no gift she understands,
But kneel to him she hates to crave
The absolution Of the grave.

Battledoor and shuttleOook In Japan

Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett tells Of the
sports and pastimes of boys and girls in
her article on 1.-THE Little Japanese at
Home" in st. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett
says:
Playing ball and battledoor and shut
tleoock, as we'll as kite flying, belong
especially to the first of the year. The
balls for little girls are made Of cotton
cord covered with strands of bright col
ored silk, and the children become very
skillful in making these balls them
selves. Sometimes the ball is merely
bounced by the child as she kneels be-
fore 1t. Sometimes she stands and,
striking it to the ground, whirls quickly
around In time to strike it again as it
rises Battledoor and shuttlecock is
played in the streets not only by girls
in twos and threes and In circles, but
also by whole family. Father, mother,
sisters and brothers all join In the
game, knocking the shuttlecock from
one to another, and if one fails to hit it
in time to keep it from the ground all
the other players rush to give that one
light blow with the bat Sometimes
the punishment for failure is having a
circle drawn round the eyes or the face
otherwise marked. The bat is of wood,
with one side plain, the other orna-
mented with the picture of some well
known character of history or romance
or Of singing girl. The shuttleoook
consists of a small, round centerpiece,
painted or gilded, stuck round with
feathers, as petals are ranged round the
henter of flower.

Our Minister has Two Kinds Of Trouble
Getting Out of Spain.


Bayonne, France. April 2S.-General
Woodford, the United States minister
to Spain, arrived here yesterday after
noon after exciting experiences at Sc
govia and Valladolid, Spain. The Sc
govia incident was comparatively un-
important. The students of the military
school, in full uniform, packed the
depot. They were silent until the train
started, when there were enthusiastic
outbursts of cheering for Spain and
Cuba. The Valladolid affair." however.
threatened TO be quite serious. Thou
sands of excited people attempted to in
wade the railroad station, and the twen-
ty civil guards who accompanied the
train were compelled to form up in
front Of General WCdford's carriage
with drawn swords. while other civil
guards of the local force issued from the
depot TO protect the train. The mob
showered stones on the cars. shattering
the windows.
General Woodford knew nothing of
the disturbances until he reached To-
losa. There a sergeant of the civil

upon awakened the general, who hur-
riedly dressed while matters were being
explained to him. The general then
formally protested against the attempt
ed interference with his suite, declar-
ing that Moreno was his private sec
retary and a British subject.
The Spaniards claimed that he was a
Spanish subject. but the general re-
fused to give him up to the police and
placed himself in the doorway of the
compartment in which Moreno was
travelling. declaring he would only sur
render the latter if forced to do so The
minister then explained to the Span
iards that he had placed Moreno under
the protection of the British flag. and
that if they took him it would only be
by using personal violence to the United
States minister. who proposed to pro-
tect Moreno until the frontier was
crossed.
