A self.Centered Life.

We ss Christians must not live a selfish

Of every mans interests when each faith
fully looks after his own. But it is not TO

great weakness in this disposition. It
makes weak character liable to fall in the
hour OF temptation. For such man is like
tree whose roots do not spread out into
the surrounding ground. When the winds
blow it must fall. 1t is not pleasant to live
with q man who is seli-ccntcred. He mag
nifies his own interests and claims far
above every others. II is said that one Of
the sure signs of mental arrangement is e1-
cessive etogtism. Insane people magnify
se.f. and zee all things only in relation to
themselves. So the moral state of man

Transhguration.

There is only one way to get splendor On
any face-from within. And it makes little
difference whether the physical features
are handsome or not, whether the checks
are full and fair and blooming. or thin and
pale and pinched-if the glory breaks
through from within, there is trans6gur-
alton. The problem then is to get the
beautiful thoughts. to have the sweet, rar
iiant inner life. II the angel is truly with

shall shine through.

suuni.s and shiits Hair Growth.


The Mahometan religion 10 divided
into two principal sects. the Sunnit.s
and the Shiites. The members Of the se
sects can be readily Disseminated BY
the fashion in which the hair grows
on their arms. for while on those OF
the Sunnltes the growth turns down
ward from shoulder to wrist on the
interior side and upward from wrist to
shoulder posteriorly. the hair on the
Shiite arms presents the contrary ap-
pearance on both sides Of the AIMS.
This singular divergence Is produced
by the manner Of washing their arms
as prescribed by the tenets Of the sects
respectively. for while Sunnites hold
It orthodox to stroke their arms. after
washing them. from shoulder to wrist
on front and from wrist to shoulder on
the back. the Shiites abhor this prac-
tice and stroke their arms In the oppo-
site ways, and hence the two directions

Micration Of ! ;isects.

Not long ago a ship from one Of the
tropical countries was followed BY o
flock Of butterflies. which persistently
circled around the rigging Of the yes
sci until the shore had faded In the
distance. Then the icsects lighted on
the masts and decks. A few disap-
peared In the night and were destroyed
In the water or reached the shore In
safety. Some Of the others crawled
away In the cabins and hold Of the
ship. After a trip OF thirty days the
vessel reached New York. and from
their hiding place In the ship few OF
these butterflies emerged and few
ashore. Thus an entirely new species
OF butterfly was introduced into the
country.

accurately as l could. all that l had
read. heard. seen. and experienced In

that we should soon be expected down.

Ernest" said my uncle. without
noticing my observation, from what
you tell me l am now assured that
your father was robbed Of q quarter
Of q million sequins FIVE or ten days
before I left Holdenhurst; and ! am
equally positive that the thief Is none
other than that lying bypocrite Adams.
That I mentioned the legend Of Roger
Trueman's treasurer to. your father
the evening l first saw you Is true; and
l believe it 10 true that I again men
toned It when l went with him
through the crypt q day or 80 later.
The statements Of Adams that he pro-
vided me with a lamp. that he after
wards found me in the crypt and
spoke with me there, and yet later
knew me to spend the greater part OF
night In that place, are simply lies,
which I could disprove to his con.

uncle Sam bitterly. But, Of course" |"
he added. after q pause; however

at present know positively. and OF

LEROY INHALED GAS.
Tailor Found Unconscious in His
Room at Bristol House Yester-
day-Condition Critical.

Charles Leroy of Factoryville, who
came here on Monday last to accept a
position with e. j. O'Malley, the North
Scranton tailor, was found unconscious
yesterday morning in his room at the
Bristol house corner of North Main
avenue and West Market street. Gas
was escaping from the gas jet, and had
Leroy not been discovered when he was,
he would have undoubtedly have been
asphyXiated.
1t was the smell of the escaping gas
which attracted the attention of the
hotel people, and they hurriedly opened
his room door. He was lying in the
bed, undressed and there was no evi-
dence of any attempt having been made
to stop up any cracks in the doors or
windows and thus prevent the escape
of the gas from the room. These facts
are considered to be amply sufficient to
disprove the theory of suicide, at first
advanced. 1t is believed that the gas
was left turned on through negligence.
Efforts to revive Leroy We're made
by IL physician, who had been sum-
moned, but they We're unsuccessful, and
he was removed to the Lackawanna
hospital, where he partly regained con-
seriousness. but again sank into coma
His condition last night was said to be
critical.
