Tf1ENOUL

What is a soul? I asked. Time answered
me.
A splash of spray, dashed from the shore
to sea;
A moment in the vastness of Airline;
OF Melody's full store, one lesser rhyme;
A leaf in the full forest, tremblingly,
That waits the wailing wind to set 1t
free:
A sigh breathed on the tempest of Dis
tress;
A smile from all the joy of Happiness;
An image from Sleeps wilderness or
dreams;
The echo on the hills, that only seems
Thu substance of the cry; a sob, a tear
A hope, a thought, a misery, a fear;
A question and an answer. inter-
wrought;
A life and death, to welded union
brought;
A storm; a silence; n a sullen thing
That looks aloft in terror, wondering;
That which is Ruler, while it's but a
Slave:
That welcomes death but shudders at
a grave;
A part of life that is from life apart;
A subtle essence that survives the heart
That comes, unwilling; and unwilling
goes;
That trembles, questions, hopes, doubts
fearS-and knows!

The City Of Silence.

BY HENRY BERNARD WEEKS.

Night was upon us and we were me-
by the fact that we were lost-lost in
the desert. My guides, both experts,
were filled with terror, and swore that
it was an omen of evil. / laughed at
their fears, and told them we would
have to make the best of it, and b a
the morning light would probably e
us out of our difficulty; We finally sank
to rest. Just how long we slept l
know not, but suddenly, as if at some
given signal, we sprang to our feet, to
be confronted by an immense figure
an ancient MANN complexion, fea-
lures and costume an Egyptian. At
sight of him, my guides, uttering a cry
of terror, fed, and l, smitten with a
nameless apprehension, would ave

stranger, bidding me remain and fear
naught, stayed my steps.

temples and pyramids Of the desert,
but, give to me your faith and u
age, and | will acquaint you with Won
ders of which you have not dreamed"
"As you will, mighty stranger" l re-
piled, for his noble mien and counte-
nance had won my trust and rever-
nee. Then blackness swept over me,
and on recovering 1 found myself ly-
ing before a city so glorious and IN
common that the remembrance OF 1T
will never be obliterated from my
mind. 1t shone in the pale moonlight
like semi-transparent pearl, and l
could see that it was composed wholly
of alabaster; it's architecture was
beautiful and sublime. Pyramids rose
like gigantic guards around the city,
and battlemented walls, strength
ened by towers, whose heads
seemed pouring into Heaven, en-
closed a multitude of temples, ODE
lisks and mansions whose whiteness
perceived cleaning from amidst de-
lightful groves of luxuriantly foliaged
trees. But a silence more strange and
solemn than was ever yet born OF
night reigned within. l felt it to be
that of the grave, and recognized the
gruesome fact that my companion who
stood beside me was the spirit of one
dead.

sadness resembled the signing Of
winds. Behold! o mortal, the City
of Silence! Arise and let us enter!"

Central station took his seat behind a
fireman and a policeman. AS the car
ratified on, two other policemen swung
on. The conductor promptly stepped
forward and asked them for their

and lounged heavily off the car.

1T WAS A RARE r
Prank Played by Mark Twain Upon His
Father and Ornithologists.


Father and O~rnithologists.
Even in his youth Mark Twain was
prone to an indulgence in joking. His
father was greatly interested at one
time in ornithology and constantly on
the lookout for rare specimens of the
bird creation. He had several friends
who were also enthusiasts on the sub
ject of birds. Whenever any n OF
them discovered a rara avis it was the
custom to have a consultation. Mark
had been a witness of several of these
bird ~inquests and had noted the de-
light the old men took in discussing a
new-found specimen. One day it oc-
Cured to him to provide the Hanni-
bal ~ornithologists with a real circus in
the form of a bird. He killed a crow
and also a %barnyard rooster. Pluckingt
out the tail feathers of both the crow
and the rooster he substituted the
ROSTERS tail feathers for those of the
crow, producing a unique effect. When
he had the specimen nicely prepared
he went t. his father and, handing it
to him, said:
Here, father, is a very curious bird
I shot. 7 thought you would be inter-
ested in it."
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with amazement. That even
ing the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens parlor.
The rare specimen was put before
them. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoot of the bird of paradise family;
others had equally ridiculous notions
as to it's ancestry. But there was one
who refused to be swerved by the pc
culiarity of the birds tail from the
Judgment that it was of the crow
family. why, just look here" he
said, lifting the bird by it's tail feath-
ers. He got no further. There was q
quick closing of a door. Mr.. Clemens
started to leave the room. Gentle
men," he said, "please excuse me for g
few moments. 1 will see Samuel first
and explain later"

A Ready Definition.

Prof. Lawson of the university of
California, is not only an eminent
g~eologist, but a man Of ready wit. The
students often attempt to play pranks
on him, but usually with little success.
Not long ago one OF them slipped into
the tray of minerals which the profess
sor intended to use in his lecture a
piece Of ordinary red brick. The word
passed around and great fun was an
ticipated over his attempt to classify
the substance. He did not notice it
when he commenced his lecture.
This" he said, picking out a small
stone, sis a piece of granite" and he
proceeded with a learned talk on its
characteristics. "This is a piece of
agate" he informed them on picking
up the next fragment. He got hold OF
the brick next, looked at it for a few
seconds, and said calmly: "This is a
piece of impudence."-San Francisco

FAMOUS HOPE DIAMOND
THE PRECIOUS BLUE GEM SOLD TO
AN AMERICAN IMPORTER.
Purchaser offered S3JO,OOO for the
Stone, but Would Not seII-To
Remain in This Country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The Sun says:
1.-The famous Hope diamond. the largest
Of the few blue diamonds that have ever
been found, Weighing Az carats, has ar
rived here on the Kronprinz Wilhelm.
One of the passengers on the ship was
Simon Frankel, the diamond importer
of IS Nassau street, who purchased the gem
III London two weeks ago from Lord Fran
els Hope and the other heirs of the late
Henry T. Hope, the banker of Amsterdam,
from whom the stone got its name. 1t
was with the intent of closing the negotia-
tons for the stone that Mr.. Frankel re-
Gently went to Europe.
Although it was learned from other
sources that the big gem had accompanied
Mr.. Frankel to this country, Mr.. FrankeI
preserved the greatest secrecy about the
matter, even going so far as to deny that
the diamond was on the ship. 1t would be
here in a few days, he said, on another
steamer. What the reason was for this Sc
crecy could not be found out, although
possibly Mr.. Frankel might have been ap-
prehensive regarding the safety of the
stone.
Colonel Story, head Of the customs
inspectors, admitted that the gem was
aboard the ship and was securely locked
up in the purser's safe where it would re-
main, he said, overnight and be taken
to the custom house for appraisal this
morning. Ii appeared on Mr.. FrankeIs
manifest, he said, as a package -
The duty on a cut stone u~nmounted, as
the Hope diamond is, is 10 per cent. ad
valorem and the customs people will prob
ably estimate the value as the price Mr..
Frankel gave for 1t. That was &29, 760, or
about Sl4S,S 500. according TO the cable dis
patches.
The diamond was sold.' said Mr..
Frankel yesterday, by a master in chanc-
cry, because of the fact that it was en-
tailed. there being nineteen heirs in all,
and the consent Of every one Of them had
to be gained. Lord Francis Hope was only
one of the heirs, although owning a larger
part than the others. Some time ago
we learned that Lord Francis was try
ing to get the consent of the other heirs
to the sale of the stone and it was then
that we made an offer for ii. But objec-
ton was raised at that time by some of
the heirs, the Duke of Newcastle among
them, as Lord Francis was then the hus-
band of May Yohe, from whom he has
that she was putting him up TO it TO get
the money. Lord Francis was in need Of
money, though, and as soon as he got his
divorce the other heirs withdrew their
a little larger than a hickory nut. Its
color is the great thing. 1t is a perfect
sapphire blue and is lawless and has the
brilliancy of a white stone
mr.. FRANKIE said he had already had
one offer for the stone from +. NJ. Cattle,
the jeweler Of Fifth avenue and Thirty
eighth street. Mr.. Cattle went down on
a revenue cutter to try 10 get the stone
before the ship reached the pier. He didn't
get it, he said, because MI Frankel
wouldn't sell. He said he had offered $780,
COO, which had been subscribed by a syn
dicate."
