THE AGE OF MAGIC.

Nilola Tesla takes issue with Edi-
son and declares that we will soon
be talking clear around the world.

for telesraphic and telephone COM

obstacles have delayed the consumma.

been completed three years ago"
Tesla may well be believed. Any

magic. Wireless communications
around the world would crown the
most remarkable series Of inventions
ever given by a single generation to
the world
The wireless telegraph is an in.

The practical airship has not yet
outlived it's time as nine day Won

THE WOMEN OF WEIBERG.

At the foot of the hill Weiberg. or
along the bank of the Neckar, were
gathered long time ago two armies
| and here battle was fought between
the two great Germans, Konrad and
! Welt.
Very fierce was the fighting, but a.
last victory fell to konrad, and news
was sent to the ancient castle on the
high hill above the battlefield, that it
must surrender at once.
A great company had assembled in
the castle. There were soldiers guard
ing the fortress. and many men from
the surrounding country who had tax
en- refuge here with their wives and
little children. Now with the message
! from Konrad demanding surrender
said that although the men in the
fortress were all to be taken prison
ers, the women were to go away in
peace, and that each one would be
allowed to carry on her back the
treasure she most highly priced.
konrads mighty army drew up in
line, leaving passage for the women
from the walled citadel, and at the
head OF the first column was KOnrad
himself, who, glancing toward the
castle, suddenly saw the gates thrown
open, and a strange looking procession
start down the hill
The whole army now turned to look
and truly it was a marvellous process.
SION, for when it came nearer a long
line OF women was seen. and each
one carried a man on her back. Her
husband, her father. her son. brother.
or friend, each had taken Konrad at
his word and had brought her dearest
treasure away on her back.
Some OF the men in Konrad's army
were very angry, and considered that
an unfair advantage had been taken
OF their chiefs generosity. but Kon-
rad admired the spirit and good feel.
ing OF the women of his country, and
not only gave the men their liberty.

fetch what wealth they had left be-

OCCUPATIONS OF THE cYPsIEs.

From earliest times the Gypsies
have been cunning workers in all
kinds of metals, iron, silver and gold,
and it is thought by some in bronze.
This Woodworking has in many Of
them degenerated to horSe-shoeing,
but to the European countries it Is

may be found following the higher

They have also from the beginning
been known as horse traders and mu-
sicians, their skill in handling the vic
In being in many cases nothing short
of marvellous. Travellers in Roumania
describe native gatherings which,
they say, exceed anything of the kind
ever witnessed anywhere. The music
contains qualities of pathos, sweet
ness and suggestiveness which draw
the tears from all eyes.
They have also been from the first
serpent charmers Of no mean ability;
but most noted for their occupations
or accomplishments, as one may
che Ose to consider it, is undoubtedly
their skill in palmistry and their pre-.
tensions to fortune telling both by
this method and by the aid of cards
This latter may be dismissed at once
as trickery, but the former must be

body, and became the object of pre-
found study in prehistoric ties in In

wandering away from their own coun-
try at an early day, should have pre-
served some knowledge of this sci

Chelro tells of very ancient book
in India which is considered one of
the greatest treasures of the Brah-
mans, by whom it has for ages been
guarded in one of the cave temples
that belong to the ruins of ancient
Hlndustan. He says it is made of hui

ingenious manner: that it is of enor

writing describing and explaining
these is in curious red fluid which

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Piatt concerning his owl.
life was lifting of the curtain. for
an instant, to show the real feelings
OF man who has succeeded-and fail
ed.
Platt said, you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
it has been"
$50 much better-or different"
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg-
ing of his words. lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been
It might have been better-or much
tetter. Seventy-two years Old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head great
corporation.
Fame? He is senator of the Unit
ed States and maker of presidents
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself ana to the
world? With the clear after vision
OF old age Platt can see that his life
has simply been successful. failure
Because.
"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living. in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being
not in getting, but in giving. 1t lies
not in what man has, but In wha
he Is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
lions of dollars, wealth Of mint
and soul; instead Of fame as boss
that Of benefactor: Instead Of powe
in politics, the power to do good tt
his fellows; instead of the fawninI
of lieutenants, the esteem Of friends
instead Of hollow service, love.
Yes, his life "could have been mad
20 much better''-if he had care

LAWYERS Version of Sadness.

.'NNhat is the most distressing thing
you ever saw in a court room?' was
a question propounded to a group of
lawyers in Kansas City recently. as
they sat together in the Office OF one
OF their number. One told of hearing
a Judge pass sentence of death on a
woman: another told Of the scene be-
tween a mother and son, as she bid
her boy good-by for the last time be-
fore going to serve a ten years sem
tence in the p~enitentiary, and as the
question went round the circle each
related a story OF court scenes. AZ
most the last one in the group said {:
''Gentlemen. the saddest thing | ever
witnessed in a court room was when
a healthy, strong handsome mar and
woman, with a group OF bright in
tellIgent boys and girls, their children,
appeared before a circuit Judge. the
onc plaintiff. the other defendant. in
a divorce suit. The look OF distress
on the faces OF those innocent chill
dren as they sat and listened to the
examinations and denominations OF
their parents, intent on breaking VI
what had been a happy home, was the
saddcst sight | ever wIlLessed.'
