THE ATTIC INSTINCT.
Why Some Persons Cling to Things
That Are Rubbish.

The attic instinct hangs on sur
prisingly, and an observing eye can
tell how many years a person has
lived in the city by merely glancing
under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one viii contain letters,
one scraps OF ribbons and laces-if
it's a man it's newspaper clippings
and one anything from a broken
lock TO old road maps. If, besides
these, there are bundles OF maya
zines and piles of newspapers, not
to mention q bicycle seat and a
green umbrella that one might use
In private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests of the fam
Fly, If they are patiently moved
every cleaning day and clung TO
through a moving, then their own.
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there Is not the slight
est hope of their ever being cured.
They viii think from an attic point
Of view for the rest Of their lives,
and their family might as well be-
come resigned.
When people are willing to make
themselves disagreeable over q bit
Of string and absolutely objections
bic on the subject Of stray pieces Of
brown paper they should not be &C
cused Of having bad dispositions,
nor should they be suspected of do
ing it to annoy one. They are
merely suffering from the attic in
stinct and cannot help themselves.
Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for a scheme Of
life where certain things were al
ways kept in the cellar, others in
the wood shed, others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor,
still others in the closets on the
next fqar. and everything and any
thing til overfowed from any Of
these places was Just taken up 70
the attic. And now these poor deal
souls live with cellar, three storie
and an attic still lodged in theii
minds, and, though they will il
time disappear, like all unnecessary
members-seventh toe, tails, an ap
pendix-in the meantime they are
having trouble with them, they are
suffering and fighting for them, and
1t takes q serious operation to re-
move so much as one scrap book il
the owner thinks be may like to
read it over in his old sge.-Har-

Embarrassing For the Lecturer.

Civilized people when they listen
to q lecture ON some abstruse scien-
tifc subject applaud even if they do
not understand. But there Is svi-
dently more frankness among sav-
ages, according to a story tod BY
Captain Guy Burrows. A white man
one evening tried to explain to
some membess Of an African tribe,
the Mobunghi, the wonders Of the
steam engine and steamship. BE
drew diagrams on the sand, and the
audience lister I'd and looked with
apparently intense interest At last
he asked his hearers whether they
understood. "Yes," they replied; !;
they thought they did.

tain Burrows said, "for some time,

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
a Memory Of Fiekett's Brigade and Q
Niqht Attack

Some years after the civil war .
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at .
banquet given by the board Of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lppincott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. J. Phillips of the Ninth. Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking Of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of lbs startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orden-the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher COM
mand than that Of earth.
''The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, ~the awaited dark night
had arrived. and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
sigi,sl the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
Silence, that always settles over
everything before fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the pillows OF great sea,
directly in line with our guns. 1t
was singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover Of Ny Soul
81 have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had il seemed 80
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the Or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
-cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
Ready Aiml Fire to the
left, boysl' I said.
"The guns were shifted, the vol
ley that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was Gov
cred with the shadow Of his wing"
A Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
81 remember that night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried off so many of my comrades.
I was the singer"
There was a second Of silence.
Then ~Jesus, Lover Of Ny Soh,'
rang across that banquet board -
on that black night in 1864 4 had
rung across the lines at Bermuds
Hundred.
