He could add others, indeed, but he
could not put,away; neither did he care
if they were perfectly agreed among
themselves; and his spiritual pleasures
had nothing to do With turning them
over or justifying them in words.
Words were with him mere accom-
pIishment, like dancing. When he was
by himself, his pleasures were almost
vegetable. Re would slip into the
woods toward Acheres, and sit in the
mouth of a cave among gray birches.
His soul stared straight out of his eyes;
he did not move or think; sunlight,
thin shadows moving in the wind, the
edge of frs against the sky, occupied
and bound his faculties. He vas pure
unity. spirit wholly distracted. A
single mood filled him, to which all
the objects of sense contributed, as the
colors of the spectrum merge and dis

So while the Doctor made himself

The smallest republic in the world is
that OF Tavolara, an island about five
miles long, with an average width of a
little more than half a mile, situated
about a dozen miles to the northeast Of
Sardinia. The total population of the
whole republic does not exceed sixty, but
they elect a president every six years,
and council of six members, all Of whom
serve the state without pay. The women
of this island go to the polls and vote
with the men, and ever since 1t became a
republic, In 1856, all public business has
been transacted without turmoil the cleo
tons taking place without any high party
feeling or undue excitement.
In 1886 King Charles Albert of Sardinia
granted the Island of Tavolara to a fam
fly of the name of Bartoleoni, but in less
than half century the inhabitants threw
off the yoke of monarchy and took to
themselves the right to be governed by
themselves. This little war did not alarm
the world, and was quite peaceful one

cessfully. About Nov. he arrived in

cash and quietly examined the elephant.
Sunday, Nov. 5, Jennings was arrested
in Minneapolis by Special officer Jacob

he sent for his brother, who came to him
and saw that he was baiied out The
next morning Jennings paid $40 in the

without seeing his brother, who there

If her husband had returned to Taylor.
When Jennings failed to return home
his wife came to Minneapolis, and she
and his brother searched thoroughly over
the two cities and came to the conclu-
