A MUSICA BY IDA ESTEL Philemon Harventhal had lived three-score and ten years in the quiet village of Aylesborough. He was a man of unblemished character, was knowr* to be very wealthy, and lived in an unpretentious manner. He was apsychist, and his rather peculiar religious views were the cause of many heated arguments among those of his friends whom he considered it. his duty to instruct in the mysteries of his chosen faith. He folly believed that when the time should come for him to "put on immortality" he would be received on thc next plane by a host of bright spirits. As he was charitable, owed no man aught that he could not pay, had kept the com mandments and had been as nearly as possible what the world calls au up right man, he believed that a recep tion of unusual grandeur awaited him. Notwithstanding this assurance, he seemed to prefer deferring his journey io the "ever-green shore" as long as possible, for a real or imaginary pain in the region of his heart one day caused the good mon to make a rather hurried visit to a physician of his ac quaintance. Dr. Elwell was one among the list of possible converts to his spiritual istic doctrine, and as. Philemon en tered his office he immediately cast about for an excuse whereby he might, . if possible, avoid the expected lecture. But there was a troubled look on his old friend's face that quite disarmed him, and a few moments later Dr. El well's head was pressed against his side in a listening attitude. As he listened, instead of hearing the heait pubations, as he expected, be heard music! He raised his head and looked about, but could no longer hear it. Once more he pressed his ear against Philemon's heart, and once more he Beard the same sweet strain. The music sounde d like the soft tonos of his own piano, as he had heard his daughter playing before leaving the house, which stood about 20 yards distant The doctor walked to the door and listened, but heard no sound. He looked toward the house, but there was nothing unusnal in that direction. By the time the thoroughly puzzled ! ilj^!iP?*n kad listened, first, at the j ;"fr?rfit,t?on ot the back door of tho j office, alternately pressing his eor against Philemon's side, ho had aroused the old man's curiosity. "Anything peculiar about it, doc tor?" "A little unusual, surely." .Unusual?" '1 imagine I hear music. " **Well, doctor, I believe there is to be a show in town. I suppose they are having a street parade. " The physician hesitated. If ho ex plained he feared a lecture on the su per natural. If he did not explain he felt that he was deceiving an innocent man. Philemon continued, "I hope that it will not prove serious, though I Buffer considerably at times, and thought best not to neglect it. " ..Yes." ..You seem undecided." .*I-I never had a case of this kind before! I think there must be some mistake, but I certainly hear music every time I press my ear to your heart," he replied, half fearing au ex planation of the niysituy from his pa tient's standpoint, and preparing to defend his own belief against all spir itualistic delusion. Philemon was silent. He looked searchingly fnto the doctor's eyes, half expecting to see a twinkle of merri ment, but there was nothing of the kind. Indeed, his honest face wore a troubled expression quite convincing to tiie patient. Philemon pointed across the street .'I see Dr. Grey over there. Please call him." A moment later Dr. Elwell was ex plaining to his brother physician tho usual occurrence, and together they sought an explanation; but to no pur pose. Dr. Grey beard music when his ear rested against Philemon's side, as his friend had heard it. A serious expression rested on the usually happy countenace of their pa tient as he prepared to depart. He aros?, pulled his hat over his eyes, and walked out as feebly as though he had grown ten years older. Both physicians were as puzzled over the Apparent'effect of their communication SB they were as to the origin of the sweet strains. Philemon walked down the village street like a man in a dream. A neighbor spoke socially as he passed, but the old man die ?o? hear. He entered his house, mechan ically drew a chair before tho open fire, seated himself ?nd rested his bead in his hands. His dog stretchod himself at his feet, occasionally open ing one eye to look np at his master, who had failed to speak a word of wel come, and the omission had not passed unnoticed by the faithful brute. A half hour passed. Philemon moved uneasily, and the mastiffs tail thnmped against the floor reassuring ly.' "Amzie!" The dog bounded to his feet with a 'of plepmre. "Amzie, my boy, I have much to attend to; very much, for I have this day received a warning." He placed his hand on the animal's head,and in a sorrowful and affection ate manner caressed the only creature left to him whom ho believed lovod him disinterestedly. "Yes, Amzie, I have received a warning of the approaching chancre. I suppose I ought to be thankful that the time draws near, but it is uncer tain, after all You must be provided for, and you shall bo! The rascally relatives -who anxiously await my final leave-taking cannot cheat you out of your inheritance! You are my best friend! Do you understand me? .beat Mend!" ?MU# rii?$d GU* hup \m aa? > A VOW. But lips speak low and hopes beat high, Sweet (aces Bash sod fado ; Bravo souls bow down to the mystic sky Ho !

Stevenson. LHEART. LA R. SMITH. placed it across his master's knee as he tried to lick the hand that caressed him. Philemon gently stroked it and continued: "I have been . told that there are animals on the next plane, Amzie; 1 cannot say whether it be true, but you con come to me if they misuse you. They dare not, sir! They dare not!" he shouted, excitedly. He pulled the chair toward a rathe r antiquated desk, and wrote sever al words on a slip of paper. "Take this to Richard, my boy. .H my heart is weak I must save stepsjl have heard that walking is injurious if one suffers with heart disease," The dog took the note in his mouth, aud as Philemon opened the door bouuded outward. * A few moments later he returned, with the gardener closely following. "You sent for me? Amzie brought the note." "Yes, Rich-ir d; I want you to bring a lawyer here at once. He must be the first one you can find. I am in a great hurry!" And the man hurried away. When the lawyer arrived he found Philemon seated before the desk, busi ly engaged in arranging his business papers. Ono drawer after another had been emptied,and the contents heaped in considerable confusion before him. He welcomed the lawyer, and pro ceeded to explain why he called him. "I have concluded, sir, that a man who has lived as long in this world as I have ought to properly arrange matters before leaving for the next; therofore, I have sent for you to do the work for me." The lawyer acquiesced, politely re marking that he hoped it might be many years first, and Philemon con tinued^"! have a large estate to dis poso of. I also have a few distant rela tivos; not one among them would, from genuine sorrow, shod a tear at my grave; but thia faithful fellow will mourn. " Here he once more caressed the dog.* "I want him properly cared for during his life, if he survive me and I have good reason to believe that he will; and as either one of the ras cally set who claim relationship to me would, in all probabily, assist him in reaching dog-heaven ahead of time, I wish to leave him iu the care of my gardener," I^okord-rtfenkiner* Ho ir - faithful, and Amzie is fond of him. I wish him to understand that this room, with ali it contains, is to be re served for the use of the dog. "The remaining portion of tho house is to bo used by his own family, and Amzie is to be well cared for. In compensa tion for these services I will place at his disposal $1000 the first year, and it sholl be increased $200 each year that my pet shall live. A sure incen tive for Richard to see that be has good care," he remarked, with a grin of satisfaction, as the lawyer rapidly transferred the old man's wishes to paper. He then explained minutely how and what tba dog was to be fed, and he wished Richard ko understand that though he often stretched himself be-' fore the fire, at times ho enjoyed lying on the broad sofa, which must be left for his use alone. The lawyer smiled indulgently, and continued to write until the rather peculiar doenment was finished. Soon afterward the will was proper ly signed and witnessed, the lawyer had gone, and Philemon was once moro seated before the fire. The evening shadows were length ening. Philemon seemed to have for gotten that he usually ate a hearty meal at this hour. 'Amzie, as usual, lay at his master's feet, occasionally looking upward and emphasizing the fact of his presenco by the same loud rap of his tail. The old man remained in this posi tion for some time. He was thinking of the years that had passed since his wife had been taken from him, and now be believed the time short until be should meet her. Save for those who ministered to his comfort, and were paid for their services, he had lived alone, with only the companion ship of a dog. Amzio was the third mastiff that had enjoyed the privilege of lying at his feet "The time is short," he thought aloud, and Amzie immediately bounded to his side. "iou aro in the habit of going with me for a walk at this hour, sir. Come along. I have a strange errand to do tonight." Without further conversation with his dumb companion Philemon walked plo viv up the street until he reached the village furniture and undertaking establishment Here he paused as though somewhat undecided whether to enter. A dim light bnrned in the rear of the store, though the front re mained in darkness. Finally Phile mon entered the dimly lighted build ing in a hesitating manner. The pro prietor came out of the back room, and upou recognizing his visitor cordially welcomed him. When he had selected a coffin and given directions as to bow he wished it trimmed, he left the astonished un dertaker and walked toward the home of a fellow-psyphist. After seriously considering the mat ter, Philemon had decided to visit this man and explain the state of his feelings regarding the spiritual phe nomena, as he was pleased to consider the occurrence in the doctor's office that morning. His friend listened at tentively until he had finished; then he laughed. "If you neither saw nor heard any thing unusual yourself, my opinion is that those physicians were playing a joke on you," was the unsatisfactory reply. And the matter seemed to havo a little less serious an aspect to Phile mon, though he had gone too far, and arranged bis earthly affairs prepara tory to entering the next world With too much gonttine aoxioiy. to oast it tm tu? ti-?t iauah tm\ m lilian "Should this matter prove to be as I think, you will sponk a few words over my remains, will you not?" he inquired, half hoping that his time on earth would end abruptly, if only to convince the man that he was right "I will," was the grave reply, and Philemon departed. His words had not produced the ef fect upon his friend that he had hoped, though he still felt convinced of the genuineness of the warning; and with the faithful Amzie walked homeward, repeating a few comforting verses of Scripture, believing it the proper thing for a mau to do who expected ere long to take that journey from wheoco no man returns. He reached the corner of the street near his home without speaking to the dog. It had been his custom to con verse with him in a confidential man ner, quite ignoring the fact that he received no reply; but tonight the dog seemed to understand his master's mood and trotted on ahead. Sudden ly a man emerged from Philemon's gate, and Amzie gave a bark of recog nition. It was Dr. Elwell. "Good evening, Mr. Harrenthal. I have been searching for you for an hour. I thought you seemed some what disturbed over our heaving music this morning, and I wanted to tell you that after you left we discov ered that your back had rested against the thin pipe of the speaking tube which communicates with my house, and my daughter was playing the piano. If you were not so hard of hearing you probably would have heard it yourself. " Philemon mumbled something, ho scarcely knew what, and the doctor hurried on. But a load seemed to have been suddenly lifted from him. He now realized that bo had eaten nothing since morning,and uuderstood that the faint feeling he had experi enced was can s od by hunger; though before he sought food he exclaimed, "Never mind, Amzie; you are pro vided for! I needed a shock." Woman's Home Companion. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. A single Tfcjld tribe of western In dians is using 41 kinds of vegetables which are absolutely unknown to tho majority of cooks. Probably the top is the oldest toy in the world. It bas been used for thousands of years in ali parts of the globe, and some savage tribes use it in the performance of religious rites. Iowa county, Wis., lays claim to having the lowest-salaried official in the employ of the United States gov ernment. The government hires Frank Lynch for ono cent a year to carry the mail between JDodgeville, the county seat of Iowa county,, and Mineral Point, nine miles.distant In 1186 astrologers said tho world would be destroyed hy tho conjunc tion of the planets. A few years later another alarm was raised, aud in 1532, Simon Goulart claimed a mountain had opened in Assyria and a scroll had been shown him ou which was written the prediction that the world was coming to an end. He frightened everybody. A curious fishing wheel is used on the Columbia river, near Portland, Ore. It is fixed near the bank of tho river, a place being selected where tho river is most rapid. Tho wheel con sists of three receivers. These are enclosed on three sides by wire net ting, and, as the wheel revolves by means of the current, each receiver is submerged beneath the water, and scoops up the salmon as they jump in the rapids. There is a place iu the middle of the Pacific ocean well known to mariners where there is never any Christmas day. This is owing to its being iu the 180th degree of longitude and directly opposite to Groenwich, and, therefore, 12 hours ahead of Green wich time. In a journey around the globe the other 12 hours would have to bo marked out of tho navigator's calendar, and if this point crossing the antipodes is touched Christmas eve then there eau bo no Christmas day. Kansas can boast perhaps of the smallest woman now alive. Hor name is H .den Powers, and her home is with her parents at Wetmore, in Brown county. She is now 24 years old, but she has never grown a bit since tho age of three. A local paper prints her picture as she appears playing with a pair of rabbits, and really they are nearly as big as the baby.-like figure beside them. "She was taken with a Bevere illness at the age of three," says the paper, "and she has never grown any larger. She has the intelligence of a bright child of three. " A Barbarian's Redstead. In this country the furnishings of a bedroom usually comprise several pieces, but in some of ' he Straits Set tlements the bedstead is the only ar ticle of furniture in tho sleeping cham ber. Consequently, when heathen royalty wishes to live luxuriously the bod is made larger and handsomer. A recont order received by a Birmingham firm calls for a neu built in accordance with these Oriental ideas, which is 9 feet 6 inches long by 7 feet 15 iaches wide, and 12 feet high from the floor to the top, of ?-inagnilicent pearl and brass, elaborately hand-chased cor nice. Upon each of the large orna mental pillars, which, support the cornice, are five pearl busts, starrod pearl being also placed iu the centre of every triplo joint casting in the rails at the head and foot of the bed. Bagged Through Outdoor Exercise. Lord Roberts is a striking instance of what an active life in the opon air will do for a man. As a youth he was extremely delicate and had to take far more than his share of gruel and physic. Yet today, after "41 years in India," he is as hale as pos sible and has few equals in the army at lemon cutting, tent pegging ?nd other kiudred sports.

This came tc knowledge of the Manchu leaders, al ready wondering how they were to bold their own against the twenty mil lions of young Chinese who, during the brief reform adminlstartlon, had acquired a taste of Western life with Its opportunities and ambitions. It was not sufficient to gain control of the Government, replace the aggres sive Emperor by the reactionary Em press Dowager, secure the dismissal and flight of the reform leaders and hold the machinery in their hands. The poison of reform had spread all over the country, and was constantly CHINESE GUN CREW WITH FIELD TIECE. being instilled into the people In num berless ways.,. The only effective method was to expel the foreign cle ment, eradicate lt altogether. Hence they looked with favor upon the new 'movement; encouraged lt secretly, guarded it from Interference, without, however, patronizing lt openly. When the movement became so strong that the German authorities threatened to Interfere, lt was transferred west and north, and appeared lu Pe-chin-U, the province of Pekin. There must have been shrewd lead ers among the Insurgents. They took special pains, for the most part, to avoid open collision with European Governments. The foreigners them selves, while aimed at, were reached by the peculiarly Chinese method of indirection. Their persons, with one exception, were not touched. It was their followers that felt tho blow. Missionaries were loft in safety, but native Christians were butchered. The movement grew, and the crowd became more open in its manifestations. The men drilled in the very square of Pe kin, and not a word was spoken from the Palace to hinder. In the provinces a quasi effort was made to suppress INTERIOR OF UNITED STA' (This is tbo courtyard of Mlnlstor Coi them, but with tho order for suppres sion wont a pr?valo order to the Gov ertiof to be patient with the people, whose intention wa? not evil, evett If goutte- of t?elr uctloufl could not bc np? contented themselves with protests. To these there came thc usual form of Oriental assent, and the usual attend ant Oriental delay. As Pekin, how ever, was threatened, and the possi bility appeared of danger to the em bassies, the demands became more ur gent. Ships of war gathered at Tien tsin, and marinas were landed and, de spite the protests of the TsuugU Ta rnen, transported lo (he, capital. The "Boxers" profess to bc an or ganization for the cultivation of gym CENTKAL BUSINESS nasties, but, like the Turn Verein, ? which so perturbed thc retrograde gov ernments of Germany in the days of 1 the Holy Alliance, they conduct a se- i cret political movement and uphold : the ultra-conservative and anti-foreign 1 tenets of that energetic, indomitable '? old lady and thorough-going reaction- j ary, the Empress Dowager. It is an 1 open secret that the Manchus, the roi- i lng race in China, encouraged and sup- I ported the "Boxers," and probably it Is < to their patronage that thc society 1 owes its remarkably rapid spread from Shan-Tung, where is was organized, throughout the whole province of Pe chln-H. Thc ilse of a strong popular movement against Christians, foreign ers and native reformers waa undoubt edly a consolation to the Manchu man darins and the Empress. Indeed, last January they were referred to In tones of high approbation by the latter au gust pcraounge, nud, In cons?quence? it ls lmnowlbla tn withhold mm meath m trf *CTttUw Her tits ?Mw,?*'? lt) toe positiou In which they find them? selves. They believed they were bask ing In the light of imperial favor, and the Dowager Empress's edict certainly lent color to that supposition. That edict, which lt was understood at thc time had special reference to the "Box ers," drew at once a wide distinction between "those reckless fellows who band together and create riots," In other words, seditious societies, and EDWIN H. CONGEE. (American Minister at PeklD.) "the submissive and loyal subjects" who "learn gymnastic drill for the pro tection of their families o unite the villages in their districts for mutual protection, in ether words, the "Box ers." "But the local authorities." the edict went on to s ty, "moke no distinction, and, mistakenly listening to groundless rumors, tren-: them all as seditious sub jects and ruthlessly put them to death. The Instructions to the local officers should be precise, that In all cases of this kind they should only Inquire whether the r:en were rebels or not, and should no;, consider whether they belong to a society or a religious sect." Readiug between the lines, the mean ing of the edict is plain. Free liberty of action was to be given to any so ciety which is loyal to the throne, while stern unppresslou was to be meted out to all those who. directly or indiroctly, belonged to disaffected as sociations. Edwin Hurd Couger, United States Minister at Pekin, under whoso direc tion American marines have boen landed for the protection of American Interests against the "Boxers," was born in Knox County, Illinois, March 7, lS-1'3. Mr. Conger ls a mau of will and nerve. Ho was educated In Lom bard University, graduating in the class of 1SG2. He turned from the 3T1OET IN PEKIN. schoolroom to military service In the Union Army. He began the study of law at the close of thc war, and grad uated from the Albany Law School in ISC'J. He lirst practiced Inw at Gales liurg lu 18<?S, and then removed to Dexter, Iowa, -where he became en gaged in farming, stock raising and banking. Ile was elected treasurer of Dallas County, Iowa., in 1877, and igain in 1S79. In 1SS0 thc Republi :ans chose him fur State Treasurer of Iowa, aud re-elected him lu 1882. Af ter this he served three terms in Con gress, leaving his position there to become Euvoy Extraordinary and Min ister Plenipotentiary to Brazil. From this his advancement to the Important post nt Pekin was rapid. He ls ranked as one of the ablest of American rep resentatives In foreign countries. The Demand For Ilnboons. Thc baboons and chimpanzees are ferocious and hard to handle, but bring good prices and there ls always a demand for them. The opening of new zoological gardens throughout the United States has increased the trade in monkc3's; but the American cir cus has always offset the greater num ber of zoos lu Europe and has made this country a good monkey market. The clown and the monkeys are the two indispensable circus adjuncts. The rest of the outfit may be thin spread and unsatisfactory, but if the monkey and the clowns are In good working order, the children, at least, will get their money's worth. So the manager of even the smallest traveling circus keeps his monkey cages full, and, as the exposure kills off the animals rap idly, he has to be constantly replenish ing the stock. It is hard on the mon keys, ?but the making of the dealers. A Trolley Line in Miniature. What, is probably the smallest work ing electric railway In the country is under construction at Macon, Mo. It Is owned by the Blocs Miniature Rapid Transit Company, and when complet ed will be a mlle in leugth, running around the grounds of a private park. The gauge of the road is three feet two inches, and each car will carry eight people. The road is a miniature in its corporate as well as its physical body, for its officers are children. Frederick Blees, thirteen years old, ls president and motorman; Alvin Blees, ten years old, is vice-president; Roy Denslow, thirteen years of age, Is secretary; the treasurer is eight-year old Willie Blees, and the assistant su perintendent is Raymond Kirsch, who ls thirteen years old. The road oper ates in Mrs. Blees's park, and Is cap? Italizcd for ?10,000. In certain parts of Africa it fe considered a mark of disrespect to bury out of doors at all.
