great new invention to show to the

great new invention to show to the
ministry. But come armed"
On the next day, when the train en-
tered the station, the chief, BraZier
(who carried red leather case) and |
took seats in the corner of the smoking
compartment of the car. AS soon as
the train started large. burly looking
man came i'm and joined us.
He had a large black leather suit
case I'm one hand, which he carried by
handle, from the center of which rose
the other hand he carried a heavy
stick. Ae he sat down Brazier touched
his revolver pocket, making a sign to
us to be on the alert.
The stranger placed his suit case be-
side our red case, and we noticed that
never once did he take his hand off the
handle or remove his fingers from the
brass knob in the center.
"Brazier leaned over TO us and whis-
pered:
"Ie steals my models by the Roent-
gen rays. Mon Dieu, is he not clever?
Be ready when l say, Now"
Whether the stranger heard the
words or not l do not know; but, any
how, he was startled by seeing Brazier
whisper to us and sprang to his feet,
bringing his stick to the bayonet
charge, as if to thrust with it at any
one who attempted to approach him.
The chief had his hand on his re-
volver when the stranger sprang up
and, on the instant, covered him with
it. Like lightning he struck the re-
volver with the stick. 1t burst with a
tremendous explosion, shattering the
chiefs hand and covering me and Bra
zier with fragments of broken window
glass.
When the smoke cleared, we found
that the stranger had taken advantage
of the confusion, thrown open the car
riage door and jumped for his liberty,
leaving the suit case behind. We found
afterward that ii contained a most in
genious variation of the Roentgen ap-
paratus, which would enable a clever
mechanician TO obtain the working de-
tails of any model by photography.
The instrument is now In the bureau of
the ministry. The stranger we never
heard of again, so we presumed he was
lucky in his jump and escaped.
The only one who suffered much was
our beloved chief, who has never COM
pletely recovered from the shock and
the operation that followed his share in
the discovery of how model No. 1912
was stolen.-St. Louis Star.

THE KISS AT THE DOOR.

IN tho lays Of the lance and the spur.
Whcs the hero went forth 10 the fight,
Oft he carried token from her
Whom he worshiped as lover and knight,
And when fierce surged the battle around,
And when close pressed the merciless foe.
Twas that token that drove of despair
And gave victory's strength TO his blow.
Not a hero Of knighthood am l,
But warrior in industry's strife,
Where the lance that | WELD is my pen
And the ladye serve is my wife.
Yet token ! carry each day,
Full as precious as any OF yore,
And it stoutens my heart for the fray;
'Tis my loves morning kiss at the door.
For his faith will the martyr endure,
By the sunset the artists inspir'd: l
At the blast of the bugle and fife
Is the soldier to gallantry fired.
But whatever may Others exalt,
For myself shall ask nothing more
As a prompter TO worthest deeds
Than the kiss that get at the door.

The Highest Art.

The word artistic" has been so mis-
applied that the majority OF people sup
pose IL means something rather disor-
derly and haphazard. How often liter
ature gives us the prin, precise maiden
aunt, with her narrow, intense love Of
exact outline, and the art loving niece,
all on fire with raptures over color
harmonies" and contempt for every
thing which is not picturesque! Let us
give our sympathy, however, to the de-
rided aunt. Craze for color Is lower
degree of the sense of beauty than ap-
probation of symmetrical arrangement.
Sculpture is a finer achievement Of the
intellect than painting. Sayages and
ignorant children can take pleasure In
color display. but only an educated
mind is moved through effects OF form.

Confucius.

Confucius calls himself a transmitter
only, not a maker believing in and
loving the ancients. When speaking
of himself, he says: "At - l had my
mind bent on learning; at 80 | stood
firm; at 40 | had no doubts; at 90 |
knew the DEGREES of heaven; at GO my
ear was an obedient organ for the re-
ception of truth; at 20 l could follow
what my heart desired without trans
crossing what was right"
Confucius died in 47S b. c., COM
planning that among all the princes Of
the empire there was not one who had
adopted his principles, not one who
would obey his lessons, This shows
what is, in fact, confirmed from other
active reformer, so that while alive he
scarcely produced a ripple on the
smooth and silent surface of the reli-
gious thought of his own country. He
was, no doubt, in advance of his con-
temporaries, but he took his stand
chiefly on certain verties that had
come down to him from ancient times,
and his faith in these verities and in
their coming revival has certainly not
been belied by what happened after
his death.
His grandson already speaks of him
as the ideal of a sage, as sage is the
ideal of all humanity. But even this
grandson was far from claiming divine
honors for his grandsire, though he
certainly seems TO eXalt his wisdom
and virtue beyond the limits of human
nature.-Max Muller in Nineteenth Cen
