 Who Can See.
 T was out at the race track one day last winter said merchant, when was aceosted by a man who was holding the hand of little boy. It was former friend, whom I had not seen for years and who had become
 s.1F iifd. He told me that he rec 3E- voice, and while we stood there aing the bell rang from the track They're going to startl' he ex- claimed, excitedly. Come! Let's get into the grandstand as quickly as we can' After we secured seats couldn't help expressing surprise at his eager ness. Oh. that's all right he replied abstractedly. I bet I'll get nearly as much out of it as you do,' and after watching him through the next race became convinced that he was telling the truth. To begin with, he fired a yolley of short, sharp questions at the boy, and in that way obtained a good general idea of the situation. Then he leaned forward like man about to spring. l never saw such an attitude of fierce and concentrated attention To say that he seemed to be listening doesn't begin to express it. He seemed to be literally absorbing everything that was going on around him. His chin was lifted, his lips were little apart, a red spot came and went on his cheeks. and l could see the big veins in his neck throbbIng like ar engine. It was an uncanny spectacle. couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was exercising solae unnatural, super human faculty. After the race was run he dropped back, relaxed, and sat there listless and Inert until the next tap of the bell Later, when We were in the street car, tried to learn some thing of his experience. He smiled good-naturedly, but found difficulty in making me understand. T get lot Of pleasure out of the races he said, and can follow some of them almost as well as if I had my sight. I can't tell ex- aetly how it is done. I suppose my brain has become trained to catch hum dreds of little eues-the shouts of the people on the track, the exelamations of the crowd. the cheers and laughs and groans and curses, the chance re- marks of passers; yes, even the elatter of feet-everything means something to me, and although it builds up a pie ture in my mind, I feel it somewhere in The air, and l get so excited that for Get all about being blind. Oh no,' he said, T wouldn't miss the races for anything. "-New Orleans Times l Democrat.

Feudalism in Hungary.

Ineoneeivable as the ana3hronism may seem to the western m.nd. the agrarian system of Hungary has not yet issued from the feudal form. The Hungarian farmer of today is virtually a serf. bound to his master, the hervl- itary owner of the soil which the peas ant tills, by the tangible tie of per sonal liability. The Hungarian feudal lord of today is entitled to fifty days labor from each male adult who dwells on his land The seignior < at liberty to demand this feudal contribution at whatever time may seem best to him, with the frequent result that the ten ant farmer is employed in gathering his masters harvests while his own crops are rotting after a rainfall or are being consumed by an early frost or suffer damage from one or more of the many possible causes which rem. der destructive the slightest delay on the part of the harvester in gathering the fruits of years labor.-S. Ivan Tonjoroff, in Arena.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTs
Hay Soon Wipe Out the Distinctions ef
 Day and Night.

within the next half century art- ficial light will be so inexpensive, so excellent, and so abundant" says scientist, that it will wipe out the demarcations of day and night. lie continues: Darkness is one of the forces of nature against which c1Vlllza- tion wages war. It facilitates crime, 1t impedes travel, it puts arbitrary i'm it's on human exertion. The time Is coming when darkness will be thor oughly conquered, and the great GU ies flooded from end to end With light that will make every vocation ol life as easy and as practicable at one hour as another. Tn this latitude night is undoubtedly the best time to Worh- especially during the summer. The temperature from sunset to sunrise IS cool and equable, there is almost al ways refreshing breeze, and as soon as darkness is abolished the people will gradually and naturally reverse their hours of toil I venture the pre- diction that noon in 1850 will see the streets of our great cities deserted, eX- cept for a few midday roysterers ana policemen with sunshades. Respect able folks will be abed and asleep, en- toying that delightful repose which we now associate with an afternoon snooze-something, by the way, that should long ago have given us hint that day was the proper time to rest Then, when the wonderful incandes- cents of the future blaze forth at dusk, everybody will arise invigorated and alert. and get ready to begin the nights work. It is beautiful vision. Whenever I conjure it up, eoald weep for vexation to think that gas born 8 century too soon"

The Dean and the Lunatic.

Dean Stanley had great respect for presence Of mind. and used with great delight to tell a story of presence of mind by which he liberated himself from a dangerous visitor. Since ha was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study gentleman who had called, and who happened to bear nal-e which was familiar to him. When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there had been some mis- take. This became stil more evident when, advancing with an air of great excitement, the gentleman exclaimed: Sir, have a message to the queen from the Most High I beg that you deliver It instantly" Tn that case. said the dean, taking up his hat, there is not moment to be lost. Let US go at once" They went downstairs into the hall. ana opening the door, the dean requested his visitor to step out. No sooner had he done so than the dean shut the dear behind the lunatic.

THE STORY OF A PEARL.
Interesting History of One Exhibited
 in Cincinnati

in Cincinnati
 A pearl valued at 0,000 is on ex- hibition in jewelry store window in Vine street. Nor is the pearl with out history. MT. Smith purchased 1t from Julius Pedrazolli, descend ant of the royal house of Italy. The pearl is over 100 years old and it's story is 0n interesting one. A party of pearl divers were plying their trade in the waters of the East Indian seas. A sudden eommotion among the work CTS told of the presence of their dead ly enemy. a man-eating shark. All but one escaped, and his companions were mortified as they watched the poor fellow struggling In the water, unable to render him assistance. By great ef- fort they succeeded in rescuing the upper part of the body from the vo- racious fish and bore the mangled re- mains to the house of the grief-strick- en parents. The day before the bur- tal this almost priceless pearl was found in the mouth of the dead man. The pearl was sold to Koloko, a na- tive chief, and for many years remain ed in the royal family of the tribe. In 1880 Julius PedrazolH, an Italian traveller, saw the pearl, and, attracted by its perfect shape and beauty, he bought 1t from the tribe, together with the crude gold setting and ring made by the native jewellers. MT. Smith purchased 1t from Pedrazolli and claims that the pearl has no equal in the United States. The pearl weighs 46 grains, and in. daylight it's beauti- tul hues are dazzling.-Cincinna Tribune

Sale Liquor.

Washington Special New York Times: A decision of Justice Brewer has been raked up which may enable druggists to sell some kinds of liquor In communities under the control of the federal government where such practices are supposed to be prohibited. The District of Columbia Pharmaceu- tieaI Association has been trying to find out how it can prevent the sale of certain kinds of malt extracts, and has been enlisting the aid of the dis trict government. AS a result of the investigation of the legal aspect of the question it has been found that the act of congress regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors contains no defi- nition of intoxicating liquors. An opinion given by the district attorney cites an old decision of Justice Brewer. holding that the question whether any particular compound is within or with out the law is question of fact.

POINTERS ON MOSQUITOES.
Male Is a Musician. but Female Is
 Bloodthirsty.

When a man hears for the first time that 1t is the female mosquito that does all the biting it makes him feel right giad. Further comfort is afforded 9y the knowledge that the male mos- quito has probably the keenest musical sensibilities of any of his class of ln- sects. He has quite brush of hairs en his antennae, and with them he hears Mayer stuck one of his kind on a glass plate and sounded tuning forks about. When one tone was made certain hairs would vibrate, while all the others were still. Another tone would etart another set to vibrating, and so on. Also, if the tuning fork yere at one side of the mosquito, the hairs on that antennae trembled most violently, so that when the male hears or, rather, feels-the voice of his be- loved ill one antennae, he wheels about SC that vibration is equal in both and flies straight ahead to meet her. That Is about al there is to the male mos quito, though, except that he cannot bite, for the sufficient reason that he has no apparatus with which to saw through the skin. So to speak, he has the pumps, but no drill. But the fe- male is thoroughly equipped for get ting through even a politicians hide. The only mystery is what possesses her to want to bite at all How did she come by her hapkering for blood? The scientists give it ID. If she laid her eggs in the wound, like tke earrion fly, it would be easy to answer the question, but she doesn't If she stung to defend herself, like the wasp, it would be easy. It must be her brutal passion for blood that prompts her to attack helpless human beings. She cannot get this craving by inheritance, for the chances are that none of her ancestors as far back as William the Conqueror ever had taste of human blood, and yet sit out on your front stoop of an evening, and mosquito, not half an hour out of the water, will make as straight for you as if she had been born for that purpose. When one thinks of the great clouds of these torments that live and die in swamps where no warm-blooded animal ever comes, for fear of being mired, one can easily believe the estimate of entomol- ogists that not one in million ever samples red blood-Ainslee's Maga- gina

only obtain q greatly reduced crop

the Importance Of ventilation many
growers imagine that the quality of the

as that of those grown in the open.
Neither can it be when the houses have

CAPTIVATING MUSHROOMS.

The prices which rule in the markets
for mushrooms at the present time prove
conclusively that they form very pro-
fitable crop. There are several ways
of raising them. They can be grown in
the open, under frames, and in hot
houses but whichever method be util-
lied, the crop will be found to be one
of the most profitable that can be raised
for market purposes. 1t matters little
what system be adopted to raise them
so long as the work Is done WELL but
it is absolutely necessary, when they
have been grown, that they be put in
proper form, for if they be put up in
proper form, for if they are badly
packed they will give poor results at
best. We are dealing with dainty
product with one which requires care
in handling, for the mushrooms should
be unbroken and In fresh condition when
they are brought under the notice of
buyers. When We argue thus, We are
not intending to lead up to the sugges-
ton that they should only be put up in
punnets, though that is the best pack
age for the best stuff. If they are well
grown and in good condition, they can
be put into half bushels or strikes, and,
if in the former particularly, they will
sell WE'LL but certainly they always
make the best prices when they have
been packed in shallow punnets.
Provided a given space is covered
over with a span-shaped and matched
roof, mushrooms can be grown to per-
lection and With much better effect
than they can in the open. We are
quite aware that this point has been
debated again and again by some wri-
ters but there are risks when the crop
is grown in the open which must be
and, considering these and
other things too, we have decided that
the shed is the best for mushroom cul-
tivation. With a sunken bed and a
path down the centre under the ridge
of the roof, one may very cheaply secure
a fine place for the purpose. We think
the sunk bed best, because 1t tends to
economize or conserve the heat, and
that is an item. Further the matched
roof secures an even temperature, and
an even temperature is a potent factor
with this crop. We have seen heavy
