tumorous department. Easily Explained.?Congressman A. W. Lafferty, of Oregon declared the other evening that you can't lose a man who runs a health resort, and backed the statement With an interesting story, relates the Philadelphia Telegraph, i Some time ago, he said, a woman who was a little worn out, but much of an lnva'Id, went to a widely heralded health resort to recuperate. Half reclining in a big chair on the pleasant veranda of one of the hotels, she addressed the proprietor, who was looking after the comfort of the guests. "My doctor, you know," said the invalid, in a languid voice, "told me to come here, that I might get the benefit of the south wind. Are the winds here always south winds?" "Oh, yes, madam," was the prompt reply of the wise proprietor, "you . may be assured of that." "So I have understood," weakly replied the invalid, "but the flag on yonder pole surely Indicates that the wind is now coming from the north." "You are quite right madam," was the easy explanation of the proprietor, "but it is a south wind Just the same? a south wind coming back." Comforting Assurance.?A minister who preached for many years in a suburb of Cincinnati retired and went to Florida to live. After a year or so there he paid his first visit to New York in ten years. He wandered about for two days and then went to see an old Cincinnati friend. "I have been watching the people in this city," said the dominie to his friend, "and I wonder and grieve at the money-madness I see everywhere. This rush and hurry and eagerness for money abashes me. It is astonishing Why, down in Florida one can live In comfort for $2,000 a year, but here they think and talk and act in terms of millions! "It is all so vast and complex!" he sighed. "Why, this afternoon I walked down by your tallest building. I stood nn th? piirh and looked ud and ud and up, and tried to comprehend the immensity of that structure. My mind reeled. I felt faint and dizzy. I leaned against the building for support? and a passing newsboy chirped: "'Cheer up, old sport! It ain't going to fall on you!"'?Saturday Evening Post His Future Mapped Out?The father of a bright young son went to a wise friend for advice as to what profession the youth should be fitted for. The sage was brusque. "Let the boy choose for himself," he said. "But" protested the father, "he'J too young." "Well," responded the wise man, "put him in a room alone with a book on theology, an apple, a knife and some small change, and see what he plays with. If he chooses the book, make a minister of him; if he takes thq knife, make him a surgeon; if the anDle. he'll make a farmer, and if he chooses the money, a banker." Much relieved, the father went away but returned the next day in great distress, saying the plan hadn't worked at all. "Why not? demanded the wise man. "What did he do?" "When I went in," said the father, ' "he was sitting on the book, with the knife In one hand and the money in his pocket, and eating the apple." "Ah!" said the sage, "that's easy. The boy is a natural born lawyer."? The Ladies' Home Journal. Business Instinct,?"Incredible as it o rn Qohiflllv NftW lliaj OCVUM, v wv?wv.-v York millionaires who pay their chauffeurs $150, $200 and even $250 a month and for such wages these men will only run the car. They won't wash it, or dust it, or repair it. Only dress up pretty and run it." The speaker was Representative Floyd; the occasion a Yellville banquet. He continued: "They tell a story about a New , Yorker with a $200 chauffeur. This man had along with his other trou- . bles, a spendthrift daughter, and one morning the girl said to him: " 'Father, I insist on having that $700 Poiret dinner gown. If I don't get It, then I'll elope with Auguste, the chauffeur.' "The old man chuckled. "She went to his arms calmly, and, patting his bald head, she asked: "'So I get the gown, do I?' "'Why, of course you don't!' he re- ( plied. 'You get Auguste. I owe him , even months' wages.?New York j Herald. 1 1 i All Things Come to Them Who , Wait.?"Can I believe my eyes!" ex- ] claimed Mr. Timpkins, of East Orange as he confronted, the burglar. Mr. Timpkins had been sent down in the , middle of the night to investigate a strange noise, which proved to be the , family silver in process of packing up. , The burglar reached for his gun, but Mr. Timpkins grabbed the hand j instead. "Don't," he said, giving the hand a ] cordial shake. "You don't know how , much I am interested in you. Stay a while. I want you to meet Mrs. Timpkins." , "While you're calling the cop! Not , on your life!" retorted the burglar. "No," said Mr. Timpkins, "1 just , want you to stay while I call my wife. She's heard you at work every night for twenty years and this is the first chance she's had to see you."?New York Evening Post. No Doubt About It.?Recently one heard an amusing story connected with Dr. Chavasse, the bishop of Liverpool. Dr. Chavasse is the father of two sets of twins and soon after Mrs. Chavasse had had twins for the second time a curate from a neighboring parish was asked to preach the Sunday morning sermon in Dr. Crevasse's church. By an extraordinary coincidence he chose as his text the words: "Two are better than one." 1 A quite audible giggle came from one or two members of the congregation, and quite Ignorant of the cause of his hearer's amusement, the curate gazed at them in shocked surprise. Then, fearing that there might be something amiss with his surplice he tried to examine himself. Finding < nothing amiss, he looked sternly at i the congregation and repeated his text i In a loud, clear voice: I "Two are better than one!" As he now seemed to be calling at- ' tention to his little Joke, the entire * congregation quivered with suppress- i ed mirth!?Pearson's Weekly. i Jftiscrltitttcous ^fading BEACON LIGHTS OF HISTORY Examples of Human Virtue That Have Made the World Setter. [Under this heading from time to time will be published a series of authenticated extracts dealing with historical examples of the good and bad in human nature, mostly good; but all furnishing an admirable chart of conduct to be emulated or avoided]: PATIENCE. Sentiments. The evils by which life is embitter J *A tVlAOA fAlir' 1 eu may ue i euutcu iv iutoB ? ?>. .. Natural evils, or thost' to which we are by nature subject as men and as perishable animals. The greatest of these are the death of those whom we love, and ourselves. 2. Those from which we might be expected by a virtuous and prudent conduct, but which are the inseparable consequences of imprudence or vice, which we shall call punishment; as infamy proceeding from fraud, poverty from prodigality, debility and disease from intemperance. 3. Those by which the fortitude of the good is exercised, such as the persecutions raised against them by the wicked. To these may be added, 4. The opposition against which we must perpetually struggle, arising from the diversity of sentiments, manners and characters, of the persons among whom we live. Under all these evils, patience is not only necessary, but useful; it is necessary because the laws of nature have made It a duty, and to murmur against natural events is to affront Providence; it is userui because 11 renders our sufferings lighter, short er, and less dangerous. It is fancy, not the reason of things, that makes life so uneasy to us. It is not the place nor the condition, but the mind alone, that can make anybody happy or miserable. He that values himself upon conscience, not opinion, never heeds reproaches. When I am evil spoken of, I take it thus: If I have not deserved it, I am never the worse; if I have, I will mind. Men will have the stime veneration, for a person that suffers adversity without dejection, as for demolished temples, the very ruins whereof are reverenced and adored. Examples. Of all the philosophers which the sect of the -Stoics ever produced, Epictetus is by far the most renowned. He is supposed to have been a native of Hierapolis in Phrygia, was for some time a slave, and belonged to Epaphroditus, one of Nero's life-guard. He reduced all his philosophy to two points, viz: "To suffer evils with patience, and enjoy pleasures with moderation;" which he expressed in these two celebrated words, Bear and Forbear. Of the former he gave a memorable example. As his master was one day squeezing his leg in order to torment him, Epictetus said to him very calmly, "You will break my leg," which happened accordingly; "Did I not tell you," said he smiling, "that you would break | my leg?"?Orig. In Cels. vil. Suld. p. 996. One of the most distinguished qualities of Socrates was a tranquility of soul that no accident, no loss, no inJury, no ill-treatment, could ever alter. Some have believed that he was by nature hasty and passionate, and that the moderation to which he had attained, was the effect of his reflections and endeavors to subdue and correct himself; which would still add to his merit. Seneca tells U9 that he had desired his friends to apprize him whenever they saw him ready to fall into a passion, and had given them that privilege over him which he took himself with them. Indeed, the best time to call in aid against rage and anger that have so violent and sudden a power over us, is when we are yet ourselves and in cold blood. At the first signal, the least animadversion, he either softened his tone or was silent. Finding himself in great emotion aaginst a slave, "I would beat you if I were not angry," says he. Ho vine raoolvaH a hftv on thf? An T\ hp contented himself by only saying with a smile, "It is a misfortune not to know when to put on a hemlet." Socrates, meeting a gentleman of rank in the street, saluted him, but the gentleman took no notice of it. His friends in company observed what passed, told the phllos- pher that they were so exasperated at the man's incivility that they had a good mind to resent it. But he very calmly made answer, "If you meet any person on the road in a worse habit of body than yourself, would you think that you had any reason to be enraged at him on that account? If not, pray then, what greater reason can you have for being incensed at a man of a worse habit of mir.d than any of yourselves?" But without going out of his house, he found enough to ex ercise his patience in all its extent. Xantippe, his wife, put it to severest test by her captious, passionate and violent disposition. Never was a woman of so furious and fantastical a spirit and so bad a temper. There was no kind of abuse or injurious treatment which he had not experienced from her. She was once so transported with rage against him that she tore off hi? cloak in the open street. Whereupon his friends told him that such treatment was insufferable, and that he ought to give her a severe drubbing for it. "Yes, a fine piece of sport indeed," says he, " while she and I were buffeting one another, you in your turns, I suppose, would animate us on to the combat, while one cried out, 'well done, Socrates,' another would say, 'well hit, Xantippe.'" At another time having vented a'l the reproaches her fury could suggest, he went out and sat before the door. His calm and unconcerned behavior did but irritate her so much the more, and in the excess of her rage, she ran up stairs and emptied a vessel of water linon his head, at which he only laughed and said, "So much must produce a shower." Alcibiades, his friend, talking with him one day about his wife, told him he wondered how he could bear such an everlasting scold in the same house with him. He replied, "I have so accustomed myself to expect it that it now offends me no more than the noise of the carriages in the streets." The same disposition of mind was visible In other respects, and continued with him to his last moments. When he was told that the Athenians had condemned him to die, he replied without the least emotion, "and nature them." Apollodorus, one of his friends and disciples, having expressed his grief for his dying innocent, Socrates replied with a smile, "What," would you have me die guilty?" This sentence did not shake the constancy of Socrates in .the least. "I am going," said he to the Judges, with a noble tranquility, "to suffer death by your order, to which nature had condemned me from the first moment of my birth; but my accusers will suffer no less from infamy and injustice by the decrees of truth." He calmly took leave of his family who visited him for the last time in prison. When the deadly nniann was hroueht him. he drank It off with an amazing fortitude and a serenity of aspect not to be expressed or even conceived. Till then his friends, with great violence to themselves, had refrained from tears, but after he drank the poison, they were no longer their own masters, but wept abundantly. Apolodorus, who had been in tears for some time, began then to lament with such excessive grief as pierced the hearts of all that were present. Socrates alone remained unmoved, and even reproved his friends, though with his usual mildness and good nature. "What are you doing," said he to them: "I wonder at you. What is become of your virtue? was It not for this I sent away the women, that they might not fall into these weaknesses? for I have always heard say, that we ought to die peaceably, and blessing the gods. Be at ease, I beg of you, and show more constancy and resolution." Thus died Socrates, the wisest and the best man the heathen world could ever boast of. Philip, king of Macedon, discovered great moderation even when he was spoken to in shocking and injurious terms. At the close of an audience which he gave to some Athenian am bassadors, who were come to complain of some act of hostility, he asked whether he could do them any service?" "The greatest service thou couldat do us," said Demochares, "will be to hang thyself." Philip, though he perceived all the persons present were highly offended at these words, made the following answer with the utmost calmness of temper: "Go, tell your superiors, that those who dare to make use of such insolent language, are more haughty and less peaceably Inclined than those who can forgive them."?Senec. de Ira. THE MIRAGE Strange Illusions Noted in Refracted Light The peculiar and unusual character of the desert Is productive naturally of strange and extraordinary things. There you may And much to wonder at that you will find nowhere else Nowhere but on the desert will you see such colors or such dry air?that air that is responsible for so much that la wonderful, so much that is desirable. The marvelous colored air, that you can see in no other region, the near-lying night skies that bring the broadened stars closer to earth than elsewhere, are things to marvel at, as are, too, the rain that falls but never reaches the earth, the brilliance of the sunset skies, the exhilaration of the air at dawn, the solitude, the silence, the desolation, and many another thing that Is always changing, ever different Few places present as great a variety of illusions, or illusions as extraordinary as does the desert A residence of some time in that region gives one a surprising number of experiences with such phenomena, and so varied in form and in color are they, that you may see many that none have seen before, and that you may not yourself see again. The most deceptive thing on the desert Is the apparent distance of objects. This is a deception that often takes a long time to understand and overcome, and is of more or less danger to those who are depending upon reaching a certain visible point In a limited time. Mountains that often appear but a short walk from you, may be a good day's horseback ride away. The mountains loom up in their largest form early in the morning and late in the afternoon, the shadows throwing them out in bolder relief, but the shadowless light of mid-day flattens them out, in a way, and causes them to appear very much lower and of a smaller size. Next to the deceptive distances, prooaoiy ine comiuuntraL musiuu, ac well as the most beautiful and Interesting, is the mirage. Although this illusion is seen in other places than the desert, it reaches Its greatest perfection and beauty in those arid regions, where the air is dry and the heat intense, and especially where there is an entire lack of vegetation, such as in the large beds of former lakes that are flat and dry. I have seen the mirage in many localities in the southwest other than the desert, once in the San Gabriel valley near Los Angeles?a very good and Interesting one, showing a large body of blue water in which were islands on which green trees grew. The mirage often appears on the great San Joaquin ranch, south of Santa Ana. It is frequently seen at sea, but there the object presented is usually upside down. Sometimes in the desert mirage the objects appear reversed, but the ydo not commonly appear so. l ne mirage is rauseu uy me i tnattion of light from bent light rays in heated and thickened air, or air of varying densities, and by reflection. It takes many forms, but the commonest one is the appearance of bodies of water, like a lak eor a sea, on which are islands. These bodies of water frequently appear to cover great areas, even to many square miles. The shimmering of the heat waves gives apparent motion to the water, and whitecapped waves seem to be rolling in on the bench in a most realistic manner. This water illusion is caused by reflection from the air above it. Many of these water mirages are very bea tiful. Out of nothing they come. Where but a moment before lay the hot yellow sand there appears a calm blue sea, with charming little islands afloat in the placid waters on which are green growing trees. Exquisite lights hang above and around it, and wonderful purple shadows pass over It. Perhaps for hours It will lie there vibrating In the sun and then suddenly it will fade away and leave the hot yellow sand as it was before. While it Is a beautiful sight to the content observer, it is one terrible in its eonsequences to the thirst-tortured soul who comes upon It in his delirious wanderings over the desert in search of water. Can anything more terrible be imagined than to be on the hot desert dying for a drink of water, and then to see a beautiful sheet of cool water stretching out before you and apparently close at hand, and to walk feverishly toward It as fast as weak ness will allow, only to finally see the blue waters fade away in the hot air and give place to the burning sand? Sometimes towns and cities appear in the mirage, and there are those who claim to recognize them as places well known to them, but which lie thousands of miles away. Animals frequently appear in the sky, usually very much elongated and distorted, and occasionally upside down. I have seen horses of mammoth proportions traveling along a not sand stretch. Such sights are productive of strange sensations. Mountains frequently appear where there are no mountains; sometimes you can see only their summits above the haze. In the same mirage you may see animals, and trees, and mountains, upside down, while others of these objects may be resting in their normal position. Thus they present strange sights. But awesome and mysterious as they are, the water-mirage, out amid the hot deesrt sands, it is a beautiful and interesting spectacle. The mirage is always unexpected and is a wonderful picture that nature paints on the pulsing air with colors so ephemeral that they fade away In a few brief hours at most, and po charming and exquisite that no roan's art may reproduce them.?Los Angeles Times. TRAINING BEETLES X The Wonderful Work of a Russian Student. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of March 13, 1881, the Tsar Alexander of Russia was blown to pieces in a street In St. Petersburg: by a bomb thrown by a Nihilist. At once the police proceeded to arrest everybody and anybody whom they suspected of complicity In the outrage, the innocent sharing the same fate as the guilty. Amongst hundreds of others, there was seized a young student named Lozshki. He was soon released, for as a matter of fact he was guiltless of any participation in the revolutionary movement. But during the weeks he lay in his lonely cell, he made friends with the beetles which infested it, feeding them with his scanty prison rations. To his surprise, they quickly learned to come at his call, to obey his voice, even to perform simple little tricks at his bidding. After he came out of gaol he turned his attention to trainI it.... kl-kl.. I.t.lllnnnl inonnta I Ulg IIICOC IU6?IJ uitoiiiociiv uiocvWf experimenting with different kinds, and eventually choosing the large and exceedingly strong stag beetle as being the kind best adapted for his purpose. Lozshkl bred his beetles as poultrykeepers breed chickens or dog-fanciers dogs, carefully selecting the strains, eliminating the unfit, pairing the most clever. The life of a beetle is short This helped him greatly. The beetles he is experimenting with today represent the four hundred and fifty-third generation in the direct line of descent from the original ones he started to teach in 1881. It would have taken at least 6,000 years, starting, say, with Adam, to have evolved in a similar manner a special strain of men and women. He has taught his beetles to do all sorts of human-like things, including dancing, soldiering, fencing, and playacting. Each succeeding generation I nlauaras 'on/1 m ap/? oHn ntoKIn (IIUYCU VICTCI C? UilU tllV/i C | than the one that had gone before. At the beginning: young Lozshkl's aim was a scientific one solely. He wanted to prove that In insects, as in the higher animals, acquired characteristics are transmitted; that is to say, that effects produced In one generation through education, and so forth, reappear in succeeding generations. In this he succeeded. A twentieth century statesman or philosopher does not difTer more widely in mental power and understanding from the apelike man of the prestone age, than do Lozshki's trained beetles from the ordinary members of their tribe. With the advent of the cinematograph, the still youthful experimentalist was able to magnify the various poses and movements of his beetles, and study them at leisure and more closely. From this to filming a drama In which beetles should take the place of human beings as actors and actresses was but a step. Taking advantage of the stag beetle's natural pugnacity?he "loves a row" as dearly as does the typical Irishman?Lozshkl marshalled them in regiments like soldiers, dressed them in uniforms, and marched them forth to battle against one another. mu ~ -/VMM /sn ?Vl/v dAHAAti la X lie CllCt'l US SCCII UU U?C OCl ecu, 10 most weird and wonderful. The rival beetle armies march and countermarch In the most perfectly natural manner, with drums beating and banners flying. The sub-title of the fllm now showing in England is a "Drama of the Middle Ages," and the beetles are seen armed with spear and battle-axes, and dragging cannons and battering-rams to the assault of a typical mediaeval castle. Scaling ladders are erected, and a fierce struggle is waged between the besiegers and the besieged, both sides losing heavily. Eventually the attacking party proves victorious, ana the remnant of the defenders retire stubbornly contesting every Inch of the way. to the lowermost part of the keep, where, disdaining to surrender, they set fire to the reserve of gunpowder and blow up the castle. The histrionic ability shown by many of the principals is really almost uncanny. They fence, fight, make love, and crave mercy with all the skill of human actors. The movements of their horns and the attitudes they adopt, convey as clearly as human beings their thoughts and feelings. Fear, anger, craftiness, and courage, are all displayed by gestures which no one can mistake. A second Lozshki film, In which, besides beetles, a dragon-fly and a daddy-long-legs take prominent parts, is now being shown privately in London, and will be released for public exhibition shortly. It is called "The Beetle's Deception," and is, in effect, a lovedrama played by insects instead of human beings. Each of these films has taken about a year to produce, the insects having to be constantly rehearsed, and each single movement separately photographed. Incidentally, it was found that the grasshoppers were far harder to train than the beetles, the little fellow who takes so prominent a part in "The Deception" being the pick of over two hundred of his kind. Music entered largely into his training, the grasshopper tribe being acutely sensitive to melodious sounds. Indeed, one of them danced so wildly and fiercely when he heard the strains of "Everybody's Doing It" played on a flute, that he ultimately fell dead from exhaustion.?Pearson's Weekly. iHT" No woman can manage a man if she lets him know she is doing it ifcd"When an opportunity fails it may be because it has picked out the wrong man.
