The Greatest Men.

It would be difficult task. if not an
impossible one, to persuade any half
dozen men casually brought together
into yunanimity of opinion concerning
the greatest man who ever lived. Most
of them would agree no doubt with
Lord Brougham that julius Caesar was
''the greatest man of ancient times"
but how many of the six would accept
Professor Gardeners estimate of Crom-
well as 'the greatest Englishman Of all
times?" Eac2i of them, we may be
reasonably sure, would accept Shake
speare as the greatest poet, yet Lord
Lytton once spoke Of Milton as ''the
greatest poet Of our country" And
where will be found two men out Of
Scotland to agree with Charles Mackey
when he says Of Burns that he was
''the greatest poet - next perhaps to
King David OF the Jews-whom any
age has produced "-Leslie's Weekly.

as announced. But the inhabitants
appeared to take but little interest in
musical matters, for when the musi-
clan appeared on the platform he found
himself. face to face with an audience
numbering exactly seven persons.
Liszt stepped very calmly to the front
and, bowling respectfully to the array
of empty benches, he delivered himself
as follows:
Ladies' and gentlemen, l feel ex-
tremely fattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room Is
not at all suitable; the air is literally
sitting. Will you be good enough to
accompany me to my hotel, where !
will have the piano conveyed? We
shall be quite comfortable there, and
I will go through the whole of my
programme"
The offer was unanimously accepted,
and Liszt treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day,
when the illustrious virtuoso appeared
to give his second concert, the ha1l
was not large enough to contain the
crowd which claimed admittance.

CATCHING A THIEF.
An old Method Utilized by a German
Omcer In China.

An Old Method Utilized by German
officer I'm China.
Thirty dollars was stolen at the OF
flcers' club in Tientsin, China, and the
members of the club resolved if possi-
ble, to catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He then said to
them:
"Some money has been stolen here,
and am looking for the thief. l shall
find him in an hour, not before, since
| need that much time in order to get
instructions from Il celebrated magi-
clan in Germany"
An hour later all the servants were
again summoned, but this time into a
dark room, in the middle of which
stood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid.
Each of you, now" said the officer,
"must go up to that table and press on
It first your right and then your left
hand, and when that is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room"
The servants did so, and as the last
one stepped into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for few moments at the many
uplifted hands he pointed TO one man
and said, "You are the thief" The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright and ad-
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the officer for discovering the cul-
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was in Germany
in communion with the celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing the
surface Of the table in the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
ened by means of SCOT. The innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table, according to his instruc-
tions, but the culprit, though super
stitious, did not do so.
AS q result, while the uplifted hands
of all the others were coal lack. his
were of a natural color. and thus his
guilt was clearly proyed.-Detroit Free

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Deadly influence of Small Magne

Deadly influence of "a Small Magnet
OM the Insect.
An experiment made by a scientist
to test the influence which a magnet
will have on a spider is of interest.
The magnet employed was a small
steel one of the z shape, the legs Of
which were about two and half
inches long by one-half inch wide and
One-siXth of an inch thick. the distance
between the poles being about one
quarter of an inch.
Having noticed small spider active
ly running along his armchair, he
brushed it Off upon the carpet, where
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
He now slid the magnet along the car
pet, following after the spider, till the
ends Of the poles We're within a quar-
ter of an inch Of It, The animal, with
out being touched, almost instantly
stopped, and on withdrawing the mag
net the spider Continued on his jour
ney.
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch in frO1t Of
the spider, and, withdrawing it slow.
ly, the latter followed it in every dirsg-
tion which the magnet took, botn IN
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be-
came so strongly magnetized as to be
immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider began to
recover somewhat
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely.
and at the expiration of several min,
utes the spider, after struggle to es.
cape from the strong influence which
the magnet exercised oyer it, was

The Word EIafferx.

At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between flattery
and the wagging of dogs tail, yet
in nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and fattery
is certainly derived from the word sig.
nifying to wag the tail. In the old
Norman flagra signifies to fatter and
also to wag the tail. In Danish logre
is to wag the tail, and logger for cen In
to fawn on one. In Dutch vleyden is
to fiatter and vleydsteerten is to wag
the tail. In the old German wedeln
is to wag the tail. and in English
wheedle is to gain ones end in flat
terry.

Annette and Hunger.

"Most persons do not discriminate
between hunger and appetite" said a
doctor of long experience. Appetite
IS what makes a man drink or smoke
ald what makes most men and wom-
en- eat. Many go through life never
knowing what hunger really Is.
often fast sixty hours and never feel
the worse for it. A friend of mine, q
physician in Brooklyn, goes without
food sixteen days at stretch and
keeps up his work meanwhile. There
isn't an organ that can contract any
disease from lack of food. Most Of
them do become diseased through the
effort to take care Of too much food.
They are all In better tone after fast.
Another thing, hunger is felt only in
the mouth and throat. That gone feel
ing that many complain of Is not hun
ger; that is a form Of disease. If per-
sons would eat only when they were
hungry and only as much as hunger,
not appetite, called for-well, we doc.
tors would have to fast, New YORK
