ABSENCE OF MIND.
He Was Thinking of Nothing In Par
ticulnr and Made Queer
Mistake.

On recent rainy evening man
walked across Cottage Grove avenue at
a rather dark corner, with a letter in
his hand, intending to drop it into the
mail box that is fixed there. He was
thinking of nothing in particular, ex-
cept of avoiding as much as possible
the pools of mud and mire that made
the crossing rather unpleasant at that
point; but just as he reached the vi
entity of the mail box his attention was
drawn to couple of pretty girls who
were laughing and chattering together
at the roadside, waiting for south
bound car to come along. OF course,
their being there was no concern of his
but for all that he stopped and stared
he had known them. While he was thus
hating with his letter in his hand ore
of the girls looked up at him with a
half reproving glance that he accepted
as hint to mind his own business. and
he then sidled slowly backward toward:
the mail box, still, however, keeping
his eyes directed toward the girls. A
train of cars was approaching, and they
were adjusting their skirts prepare
tory to boarding it, and so as not 10 APP
pear too watchful of their movements
the man moved his hand toward the
mail box, without looking at it and
tried to force his letter into the open
ing. He was not surprised to find his
hand in contact with wet surface, for
the rain had moistened everything;
but he was very greatly surprised when
he found the mail box begin to move
and heard gruff voice emerge from ii.
"What the dickens are you up too"
said the voice.
"I-I-beg your pardon" said the
man, bringing his eyes rapidly away
from the retreating train of care. II
only wanted to mail letter.
"Well, you needn't want to mail it
down my back" said the gruff voice,
which turned out to be that of mar in
shiny wet waterproof, who was
standing near the mail box waiting for
some one.
The absent-minded one begged par
don once more, turned swiftly to the
real mail box, posted his letter and
vanished, wondering what would have
become of the letter if he Ind really
mailed it down the other mans back.

QUEER THEORY ABOUT TASTE.
1t Is Only Trick of the
Imagination.

There are some pessimists who urge
that the whole question of refined taste
is a great illusion. Nothing is good
or bad, but thinking makes it so" and
''why think?" they say.
Distinctions of taste are truly NOR
bid affectation of the jaded. 1t is only
trick of our imagination, they argue,
that causes us to differentiate between
styles and to detect difference in vari-
Gus brands of cigars, or to imagine that
the wine of one year is superior to that
of another.
For" they conclude, triumphantly,
eff you smoke in the dark you are al
together unconscious of the fact, and
in the dark the Oldest port wine will
be undistinguishable from the most
modern sherry, even to an experienced
wine taster."
True, but to smoke cigar III the
dark is the same thing as to listen to
music in vacuum. Our five senses
work together in the apprehension and
appreciation of phenomena, and will
fully to incapacitate any one of them
hands tied behind ones back. There
is no doubt a vast amount of humbug
in all connoisseurship; from the ex-
perts on the origin of seed peas up to
the cultivation of that school of critics
who deny that any italian painter
painted any of the pictures attributed
to him.
Botticelli's masterpieces, they tell us,
were painted by friend of his; if this
was the case, that friend is Potticelli
Even experts in handwriting, as the
Dreyfus affair has shown us, are not al
ways infallible. Happily, however,
these are practical tests, and OCCASION
ally the judgments of intuition are con-
fused by circumstantial evidence.
But even if taste is an Illusion it is
a pleasing one. That is to say, those
who are favored with it in a reason
able degree are happier than those
without it, for we shall always derive
considerable satisfaction in thinking
that Mozart's melodies are loyelier than
those of Mascagni; the pictures of
Whistler better painted than those of
Bourgereau; the books of Tourgeneff
and Flaubert and Miss Austen better
books than those of Georges Ohnet.
Paul Bourget and Marie Corelli, even
though we may be mistaken. though
in reality Flaubert be fraud and Miss
Corelli an artist.-N. Y. World.

KimherIex,a DrawhnoIsn.

Only those in search of wealth would
willingly live at Kimberley. 1t is an
unpicturesque region, the fiat, bleak
country being unrel;eved by foliage or
any eminence taller than an ant hill
Sometimes eight months elapse with
out shower of rain, consequently life
in the town is rendered almost unbcar-
able by fierce, choking dust storms.
The thermometer on these occasions
often reaches 100 degrees in the shade.
Kimberley, however. has its compensa-
tions. Its winters are delicious, and il
produces 90 per cent. of the diamonds
exported from South Africa. The in
habitants include many of the old Dig
gers, who still speak of the town as
"the camp."-London Mail.

ABOUT LEpRosY.
The Disease Is Due to the Action of a
Special Bacillus-Little Danger
of ContRSion.

Leprosy is disease from which this
country is in general free, although
perhaps not so absolutely free as is
commonly believed. Physicians who
are in position to know say that few
| if any of our large cities are without
their quota of lepers. Most of these
go about without restraint, the mala-
dy not being far enough advanced to
make them conspicuous, and indeed
often not being recognized as leprosy
even by a physician, if they chance
for any reason to consult one.
There are two forms of leprosy,
known as the tubercular and anaes-
thetic. In the first of these the bacil-
lus attacks the skin and mucous mem
branes chiefly; in the second form the
nerves are mainly, or at first exclu-
sively, involved.
The first form is more rapid in it's
development and course, and causes
much Disagreement in it's early
stages; the second is of slow progress,
| and at first is almost unacceptable
from the patients appearance. Later,
however, it causes the loss of fingers,
toes and other parts, resulting often
in the most Eideous defornites.
While mitch has been written of late
about the spread of leprosy, and many
alarmists predict the most direful re-
suits in this direction from our re-
cent territorial acquisitions in Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine is
lands, there is really no cause for APP
prehension.
The disease is due to the action of
special bacillus, and is therefore spread
by contagion; yet this contagion is
very weak, and a healthy person
might pass his whole life in the same
house with leper and never contract
the disease. The danger of contract
ing leprosy, even in countries where
it is more or less prevalent, is there
fore very slight, unless one is thrown
, into intimate relations with a sufferer,
especially with one who has reached
the Lucrative stage of the disease.
The treatment OF lcprosy is very I'M
satisfactory. From time to time re-
ports are published of remarkable
cures effected by some remedy, but,
just as in the case of the repeatedly
proclaimed consumption cures" in
vestigation soon shows the reports to
be unfourGed or exaggerated.
Cleanliness and proper living are the
best measures yet known fer the treat
ment Of the disease, as well as for its
prevention in the case of those who
may be exposed to its feeble conta-
gion.-Youth's COMPANION.

LIKE MOLTEN SILVER.
Traveller from the North Says
Dehrins Sea PhosDhOrescence Sar-

II have often heard of the wonderful
phosphorescence of southern seas re-

Star reporter, ''and have seen some
pretty fair samples of it in the Atlantic
between New York and English ports.
but did not know it prevailed to any
extent i'll northern waters until during
the past summer. In August last
was on board the revenue cutter Nc
Cuiloch, in the Behring sea, about 63
degrees north latitude, bound north,
when one night about ten O'clock hap
psned to go on deck, and was almost
frightened by the sight of the sea.
The wind was blowing sharp enough
to raise the white caps, and the whole
sea looked as if it were lighted from
its depths by million arc lights. throw

were filled with light. From the-sides
of the ship great rolls of broken white
light fell away, and she left broad
pathway of silvery foam as far back
as the eye could reach.
''But about this hour was the most
striking display. Here it was as if
the ship were blowing through sea
of white light, and as the water was
thrown back from her prov it fell in
glittering piles of light upon the dark
surface beyond, and was driven far
down below, lighting the depth as if
al the electricity of the ocean were
shooting its sparkles through the waves
and turning itself into innumerable in
candescents that flashed second and
then shut out forever. I stood on the
forecastle deck looking down into the
brilliant white turmoil of the waters
until began to feel as if we were afloat
upon some silver sea, and a really un-
canny feeling took possession of me.
The white ship was lighted by the
phosphorescence of the waters, so that
as high up as the deck there was a pale,
wierd white, that made one feel os if
the Flying Dutchmen' were abroad
upon the seas and had passed by us.

the decks, and every rope and line

Good night, dear hearth So swift the mo-
ments sped,
They passed unnoticed while we ling
cred here;
And now the noon of night is drawing
near.
The whip-poor-wil it's last good night has
said,
And the round moon, so lately overhead,
Will soon behind yon, hill-5op disappear.
See how the elves, as if to stay me,
dear,
Have stretched across the path a siiken
thread;
And see how tenderly that last ray feels
Its W ay with us; a CLEAN of silver light
Which unto me thy pure, sweet face re-
veals:
Touching thee gently as an angel might
N the brief time it fingers there and steals
The kisses meant for me. Dear heart,
good night!

A Cry for work.

God! give me work! To Thee 1 cry.
The busy millions pass me by;
They have no need for such as I.
God OF life, hast Thou no need.for me
Worthless to them, have 1 no worth to
Thee?
Not of Thy children, and yet doomed to be!
cry to Thee! Dear eyes upon me gaze,
Dear loving eyes that slow with hunger
craze.
Father God! father to Thee prays!
To work! only to work! with hand or brain,
In sweat of brow, with labor's toll and
stain,
The worker has his joy for every pain.
See, Lord-the useless hands are raised on
high,
From out despairing hearts is wrung the
cry;
Oh, listen Ye-forever passing by!
