I should have . listened to you in the confessional had your heart spoken.'' , . The rebuke was a crushing one, and he flinched under it; a word of apology and expostulation rose to Ids. lips, but he re? served it till pho should have done. She . anticipated him. "I could understand your motive," she Vent on; "your duty was not to make a woman think for herself* or seek to be happjr after her own way.- Brilliant as* : -you. were, experienced, as you were, you yet. lowered yourself of set purpose in . your dealings with my sex. As a priest, as a theologian, you could hardly act j otherwise. . But I read your character, al . though you neyer read mine." " Agtdn he flinched. .Her .words had struck home. "I saw through the veil," she continued; j V'^you played with; women's Intellects as.j with toys; themselves you did not despise, j : ;3ut for your' caHing, your vows, I could have played with you In turn." "Does the priest ceaso to be a human being?" he asked, bitter almost to vin-1 I dictiveness. Oh, have done; the-stings of conscience I have borne, and con bear; your reproaches unman me utterly.'' She touched his arm with a soothing . gesture, and made him. meet her look of tender pity and insinuation. . /'It is. not yourself I reproach," she said, very gently. . "Remember: that; should I have made the long journey hither for such a purpose?. But hear me - out": ? ' She paused for a moment, as if to gather fresh courage and-self reliance, then went on in quicker, more fervid tones. : "Do you remember a curious experience that happened to you during a memorable Storm in Paris, just ten years ago? A hur? ricane so fearful raged over the city that It was dangerous to be abroad; the ram flowed inTivers through the streets, many people were ' injured by falling tiles, and the lightoing flashes seemed as if every moment they would fire the place. Your vast church was empty, but you wero at your post,- when a woman dressed in black . and closely veiled.stole^up to the confes? sional and knelt to you. " " ' Again.a light as of sudden conviction seemed to break upon his mind, but this time cf no Impersonal nature; It- was a conviction that had to do with bt m as well as with her. He flushed, turned pale, made an effort to speak, but failed, the words stayed on his faltering lips. /'She confessed to you - In the storm," ?Georgette continued, "and what a story was that for a woman to utter, a priest to listen to!.

And he knows it, he Is so far guilty tool' And your answer to this appeal?" she cried, passionately. "I resented it then.' You seemed more cruel to me than that awful storm, more cruel ' than life, but you could help yourself. 'Sister,'you said in a strange voice, a voice that made me tremble, 'do not think that you are alone in your dilemma. Many another, and many a stronger one, too, has succumbed to the same tempta? tion, and dared to love where love was forbidden. Pray for them as for your? self. I have no comfort to give you, but follow my counsel. Go back to the world, and, when the world has taught you to forget then seek the church's pardon and the church's consolation, not before.'" "You were that woman?" asked the pastor, his voice sinking to an aghast whisper. ?1 am telling you my own story," she replied. "Hear me out. Your answer chilled, but did not crush me. I found e certain comfort in it after a time. At least then, I said to myself , I do not suffer, I do not love alone, and, who could tell?I was perhaps even loved in return? I found consolation in the thought that we two, my nameless lover and myself, were mar? tyrs together. So I went back to the world as you had bidden me. I tried to be mundane and heartless?to forget My life now was changed. My father was named ambassador at a-foreign court. ..We spent several years oufc of France, and existence was one prolonged whirl of pleasure and excitement But I never forgot" - She flashed upon him the- light of her pure, lovely eyes, and sold passionately: "I clung to one memory; I lived in it still. And when I returned to Paris a few months ago, an orphan, mistress of my own fortunes, alone in the world, I learned your strange story. Force of con? viction hod led you to change your re? ligion. Like myself, you were free!" . The very sound of that word seemed to i have magic for her ears. The timid, hesi? tating look of appeal vanished, her voice grew strong, firm, exultant Tears rose 'to the sweet eyes and trembled on the delicately flushed cheek, but they were tears of pure joy. "For, of course," she said, gathering his hands to her own?the words she had just uttered, almostto her own thinking, made them already one-^t is of yourself I have been speaking all this time, and I was not'surely wrong; you loved me, did 1 you not?

I said to my? self, now at lost my wealth con be turned to noble uses. In his hands it will be? come a thing to glory In. I do not care for splendor or ease, indeed I do not," she said, emphasizing the words with art? less sincerity. "I could be quite happy in such a home as this, by your side. But you were mode for a lofty position, you were born to rule. Think, than, how use? ful my large fortune will be to you. K, Indeed, it Is a better religion, a higher truth that you now follow, you may be the means of persuading many. I have planned it all We will build a beautiful Protestant church in Paris; from far and wide people will flock to hear you. Once more you will be In your proper sphere, for I am sure you cannot be happy or quite satisfied here. This career of a country pastor is too narrow, too circum scribed, for a nature like yours." Ho bowed acquiescing!y. Yes, it was all true. So much his face said. "AU that I have is yours," she went on; "the vast fortune my father left me, the hotel in'Paris, the chateau in Touraine, these are as dross to me, and all I care for, I live for; is this'N? The dear Impassioned voice broke down; the fair head drooped; the hand she held to her heart was kissed and bedewed with tears. Throughout the latter part of their in? terview the pastor had seemed under a spell. Once or twice he was fain to inter? rupt hut utterance failed him. He, too, was flushed, tearful, shaken in every ' limb. Those last wild words, those burn? ing tears and kisses on his hand; broke tbo charm and recalled htm to realities.^ He rose now and for a moment stood over hor with a strange expression, "as'*5!! he were calling down the blessings of heaven*$pon her fair head; as if, indeed, he were, shrink? ing from somo 5 angelic/ vision, that re? proved his own faulriness and mortality. Then, without a word, he led her to the . window. . 1 It looked upon theloag narrow garden stretching Crom the house and little church, tow flooded with' warm sunshine. AU was ?dm, golden^ peaceful; yet Georgette gazed with, a sudden, lanesplained sinking of the heart. At the farther end, under the shadow of a loft;r plane tree, was a deal table, and by it stood a patient faced woman, evidently belonging to the peasant class, busily ironing. Homely as was her appearance, it was, nevertheless, not with? out a certain dignity and pathos. She looked so absorbed in the business of iron? ing, so forgetful of self, so lost to a sense of everythtag but the matter of fact, pro? saic task before her. ? "You see' yonder poor good woman," the pastor said, as the pair thus watched the unconscious figure from the window. ,"I loved another, whose story you have Just told. But the first act of my new life, and newly awakened conscience? was to atone to her I had wronged in my youth." ?* * * * * * And romance had now surely knocked at that parsonage door for the first, last time. With burning tears, a hand clasp, a whispered word, and one long, lingering gaze into each other's eyes, the two parted. Who shall say ever to meet again? Strange as it would seem at first sight, this fateful meeting, little affected the . tenor ?f their outward lives..--' ItWas as if all thel daring, all: the heroism, all the force; of these two characters had been ?"already spent; by Georgette de Beaumont upon the initiative that had been the one ~txu!y'"nne*~act "of her life; by the pastor, upon the .twofold sacrifice made, for con? science .'sake. He had suddenly found himself at the parting, of the ways; on the one hand, beckoned worldly fortune, the esteem of the great, a command? ing social position; on the- other poverty, scorn, an abnormal condition, "'but, coupled, with these,.a conscience at rest. Then came the second choice. He might make material atonement to the peasant girl he had wronged .years before. He might then, having .dismissed this sub? ject of self reproach, think of the fireside happiness no longer denied him, and even dream of Georgette, the beautiful Georgette! . Once the straight path taken, the tempt? ing traverse lost sight of forever, he seemed to lose all ambition, all enterprise, even all capacity of looking forward. Again and again after that interview Georgette tried to rouse him from his lethargy and entice him from the dead alive country town in which he was lost to the world. Yet he seemed not un? happy, rather passive and automatic, as if the strings of passion and action were stopped'for'ever, brought to a standstill by some rude, shock. ilt^was .the same with Georgette. After .that journey to the .parsonage amid'the vines, she returned whither she had come, and continued to live in the world. Again and again suitors demanded her hand, but she steadfastly refused to marry.?"M. E. B." in Temple Bar. ' Contents of a Cod's Stomach. At the regular meeting of the Bio? logical society, Capt. J.

A Granger In a Big Hotel. ""We had. a funny incident only last week. A granger from Indiana siarayed into the house and said he'd like to stop until tho night train went out That was just before the dinner hour. When meal time was announced the man from. Indi? ana advanced to the counter and asked where the sink was. I knew what he wanted, and waved my hand in the direc? tion of the washroom. He started off, and in about a minute I heard loud laugh? ter from the people outside in the corridor. On looking out I saw my country jiriend busily engaged in washing his face at the drinking fountain. I hastened to him to inform him that he hod made a mistake, but he met mo before I could reach the spot. He presented a ludicrous iright Tho water was dripping from his face, head and hands, while his hat, coat and vest lay in a heap on a chair near the fountain. It was too funny, and I too, joined in the laughter. The old fellow appeared perplexed, but managed to stam? mer out: 'Whar do ye keep yer towel?' One of the porters then took pity on the old man and led him to the place he wanted, where he unished his toilet Yes, we see all kinds of people in a hotel, and have" some queer experiences,'' concluded the clerk, as he turned to hand out some writing material to a guest.?Chicago News. One of New Mexico's Burled Towns. A few days ago two prospectors,, while wandering over the foothills east of the city, accidentally stumbled on signs of previous habitation buried under heaps of sand which had been drifted by the winds of years.- -Having selected a point at which to make an excavation, they went to work- with a will, and in a few hours had reached the floor of a small chamber In the form of a parallelogram. They found the remains of several human be? ings, several handsome vases carved with geometrical figures in different colors, stone axes, hammers, pieces of cloth ap? parently manufactured from the fibre of the yucca; several strings of beads, sea shells, arrow heads and an abundance of fragments of obsidian quartz, and an in? credible quantity of pieces of broken pot? tery, including several with a blue glaz? ing. Only in one other instance have we ever heard of this color and quality of ware having been discovered in this terri? tory, and that was at the ancient pueblo near the Santa Rita, in this country, and it indicates that the Spaniards had lived in New Mexico before the extinction of the race who inhabited this ruined and buried v^ge.-^ocorro" Bullion. ~~X' Manager's Experience in Persia. A Frenchman, one M Leger, knowing the shah's partiality for European revels, has just taken an opera bouffe company to the Persian capital Ho was certain that the shah would, honor the first night and that all the big bashaws would follow their monarch's example. And so they did; not ocdy coming to tho show, but in what they did when they got. there. The curtain had not been up twenty minutes when M. Leger received a note from his majesty making a handsome bid for three of the chorus ladies. Before the piece was over the puzzled manager was in posses? sion of cash offers for the whole of the female members of his company. The tastes of the bashaws In the audience were varied.

WHAT NEW YORK EATS, TOUR THROUGH A METROPOLITAN MARKET BEFORE SUNRISE. Character and Traditions of Washing? ton Market?Watchmen on Duty?Re? tail and Wholesale Departments?A "Stand Privilege's" Value. The Sixth avenue elevated trains at 4:30 o'clock of a spring morning are sparsely occupied with passengers, more than half of whom carry great empty baskets or wear the rough and ready rai? ment of marketmen. They are -on their way to Washington market, which occu? pies a square on tho north side of Manhat? tan island. It is always open. A thief, unversed in its workings, would imagine that he could easily walk off with some of tho fresh meat hanging apparently un? guarded at the stalls, but before he would have time to take down his booty one of the six watchmen on duty in the market would appear from its fleshy precincts and arrest him. Before leaving his stall each meat dealer makes out a list of his wares exposed. The watchmen carry a corre? sponding list, and are held responsible for the loss of any goods by theft. The six watchmen guard the 300 stands so closely that thieves find the place a barren waste for their trade. At 3 o'clock the stands in tho retail market begin to open. The eminently healthy butchers whistle mer? rily, and several of them are cutting beef kidneys out of great* masses of fat and - tossing tho suet over' on counters, from whence it will be taken "to the'big factory known as the Fat association, and there made up into the base of ''genuine dairy butter." THE WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT. Beyond the retail market, and hounded on one side by the North river, I is the wholesale department of Washington market'. ?"1t looks like a street intersected community of one story structures, peo? pled with carcasses of beef, veal and mut? ton, and crates of quacking,' cackling fowls. A wheezing tug tows up to the wharf a lighter, on which are several re? frigerator cars that have been hurrying from Chicago with their loads of beef. The carcasses are passed out of the cars, hung on hooks that move on iron ways and thus rolled into great ice houses, where the retail dealers have already be? gun to come for their stock. On Friday and Saturday mornings business begins at 2 o'clock. Roosters inv the crates full of fowl crow as blithely as if they were on their perches at home and not doomed prisoners. Philadelphia is the great fowl producing center, and many Washington market firms display' placards reading, ? 'Philadelphia poultry a specialty."' Four o'clock comes and the retail de? partment of the market has become quite <tensely populated.. Half of the 3,000 per? sons who do business in and about the market have already arrived and begun to arrange their wares. A few early pur? chasers are on hand for choice bargains. Several shivering bummers, who frequent the place and sleep heaven knows where, are standing about and looking wistfully in at the windows of the little restaurants in the market. They wfll later in the day run the chance of earning on odd dime or so carrying baskets. The poultry dealers have come and are unpacking boxes of frozen turkeys. On the bills of fare of re? cherche restaurants one learns that prairie chicken can be had. They are not in tho market, but long rows of Guinea hens are hanging there, and the brunette flesh of the Guinea hen is palmed off on the un? suspecting customer for prairie chicken. At 6 o'clock the oyster stands are peopled with files *>f oyster openers, who begin their unromantic toil of turning 8,000 oys? ters a.day out of house and home. EVERYTHING EATABLE. Spring lamb is plentiful, but the con? comitant mint is so scarce that the one or . two stands that sell it get ten cents a bunch for hot house mint that a little later wfll be a drug on the market at two cents. Everything eatable is sold in this great market. At one stand that has a foreign air and odor a customer is buying little hard, spiced cakes from Germany. Over another stand in the fish community is a placard announcing that the dealer has worms that can bo. had there for twelve and fifteen cents a dozen. They ore sand worms, used by fishermen for bait. Over the fish stands hang bottles of cod liver oil, and under one of these bottles a big cod, still olive, is gasping in horror, as if at the sight of the essence of on an? cestor's liver. At 7 o'clock the stewards of the big hotels, whom the marketmen treat with great deference, begin to ar? rive. A little after 0 o'clock the business of the market begins to be confusedly brisk. The marketmen cry their wares, but do it with an air of "I don't caie much whether you buy or not.'' Everybody seems inde? pendent. He owns his stand privilege, worth from $2,000 upward, and holds it as long as he behaves himself and pays his rent of $7 or more a fortnight. Failures in business are rare.

Cummings in Pioneer Press. _ Modern Conjurers and Magicians. The public are very easily deceived in the matter of legerdemain, and mainly be? cause they expect to be. The motion of the hand, of course, Is about four times quicker than the eye, but in many cases it would be impossible to deceive were it not that tho spectator, looking for the re? sult, fails entirely to watch the hands of tho prestidigitator. Of course, we use a great many mechanical contrivances, and have confederates even among the audi? ence, but as a rule the tricks which please and mystify most are simple examples of sleight of hand. The modern conjurers of Europe now for surpass the so called magicians of the east. Many, if not most, of the stories told of Japanese and Chinese mysteries are mythical. In the course of extended travels throughout eastern Asia I have never met a conjurer whose tricks I could not duplicate, and in many cases perform feats not even dreamed of in that country. France furnishes the greatest number of mechanical contrivances for the performance of feats in magic, and Paris is undoubtedly the best school for the training of embryo magicians.?Pro? fessor Hermann in Globe-Democrat. Tho Arab Horse Beaton. The lingering idea that the Arab horse, but for his inches, would be better than his English brother, grows more purely romantic every year. A contest occurred recently in Cairo between an Arab of recognized superiority and an English more, the latter carrying fourteen pounds more weight, both of exactly the same height, and the Oriental champion, al? though he had been first in the betting, was beaten out of sight.

Only a few months ago, in India, in a certain planting district there was a notorious man eater. Two gentlemen, A and B, residing together on an estate, had lost, besides other employes, two chowke bars, or native watchmen, within a few days, and the unfortunate men had been actually carried off out of tho veranda of tho bungalow. A and B therefore deter? mined to clothe themselves liko natives, and sit during the night, armed, in the veranda, in the hopes they might be able to get a shot at the man eater, who, they thought, might probably return to the spot which had already provided him with two victims. They proceeded to carry out this inten? tion, and sat up till about 2 or 3 o'clock a. m., but nothing appeared. A then said he should not Btay up any longer, as he did not believe the animal woiild come; but B announced his intention of waiting half an hour longer by himself. Thero were largo windows opening down to the floor o:C the veranda, and through one of these A retired, and after entering his room, had just closed tho window, find was gazing out for an instant, when lie saw a dark mass land In tho veranda, right on to his friend, theH heard sounds of a scuffle, and a cry for help.

There was a general pricking of ears In the company to which the extraordinary assertion was made. "I'll tell you how it was," he continued. "We were in Colorado?at Georgetown? and four of us decided on doing the Argen? tine pass of tho Rockies, 18,500 feet above the sea. We started out?four of us besides the driver?in a two horse wagon. The ascent was steep. I will not say it was perpendicular, but a good steep angle couldn't touch it. Pokerish? Well, if some of you Detroiters who live on tho dead level and have never seen that mag? nificent western country could but faintly imagine tho real pokerisbness of that climb you might have something to talk about. But the reality beats the liveliest imagination. "We started out, as I said, and all were in good spirits, ready to dare anything, and eager, on the whole, for dangerous adventure. Wo climbed and struggled and strained and toiled. (I think we actually worked harder than the horses.)

A very interesting series of maneuvers by the French Mediterranean squadron will take place in April. There ore to be two distinct operations. The first will consist In the attempt of a torpedo divi? sion lying under tho lco of the Island of Sardinia to intercept a French military convoy on its way from Toulon to Algiers. The second operation will havo peculiar interest for English naval men A French squadron is to attempt to force Its way through tho straits of Gibraltar, a torpedo squadron barring the passage. The fact of the French navy indulging in a sham fight under the very muzzle of war guns seems a somewhat questionable proceed? ing. In the third operation, the Gibraltar straits having been forced, tho torpedo boats will try to prevent the squadron from entering Brest. The sight of these latter maneuvers is oddly selected. Gibraltar is as much an English military port as Cherbourg Is French, and I do not think that the French would welcome an English sham fight within gunshot of the forts in the breakwater. Tho programme certainly requires explanation. Of course no harm is meant, but the idea is a violation of military rule and precedent. If wo lived In-less civilized times, and had not com? plete confidence, jn the peaceful intentions of our neighbors, what guarantee could there be that tho torpedo boats and squad? ron should not combine and attempt to carry Gibraltar by a coup do main? The attention of our admiralty should be called ' to the matter, and tho French authorities requested to choose some less aggressive spot.?Paris Cor. London Standard. Snail Culture in Indiana.

Iilttle Chance for tho Beginnor. I must say, in all candor, that it is be? ginning to look to me as if, between the syndicate system, the ready plate system and the growth of exclnsiveness and fa? voritism, that there isn't a fair show for the developing author. Ho may sally forth as boldly as ever with a free lance, but ho cannot get into the arena, In which he longs to deport. This exclnsiveness has reached such a limit that one or two magazines state that they want nothing that has not been specially ordered. In other words, the writer with an estab? lished reputation is solicited to write an article, with the privilege of naming his terms; the writer without a reputation isn't solicited and isn't wanted on any terms, no matter how excellent the article he has to offer. I am speaking of the higher fields of literature and not of se? rial newspapers; for it seems to me they have dropped so far beneath mediocrity that any tyro can figure in them provided he knows how to be improbable and sen? sational.?"Observer" In Philadelphia Call._ Incident of a Hallway Wreck. Later in the day when I ran upon an old acquaintance turning away from a bulletin board on Washington st reet with a face so white and drawn that I inquired, with an interest quite apart from tho con? ventional Insignificance of the question, concerning Ids health. He was not ill, he assured me. It was this same horrible story of men and women and boys and girls crushed to death out at Forest Hills. Yet this man, who blanched and trembled almost to fainting at a story of suffering, had Inspired his regiment with his own courage under tho murderous flro that swept Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, had borne' painful wounds with a gayety that cheered tho whole hospital and has car? ried the. reputation of ia man of iron nerve. It is not, in my opinion, a.question of nerves, nor yet of self control, but of that deeper and less readily classified sen'timeht of sympathetic humanity, which makes tho bravest seem weak when in the pres? ence of pain and helpless cither to relievo it or to combat its cause.?Boston Post. Killed in a Street Dncl. Jackson*, Miss., May C?A desperate pistol fi?'bt took place last night between Col. Jones S. Hamilton, State Senator from this coonty for the past four years, and one of the lessees of the penitentiary and R. D. Gambrell, editor of the Sword and Shield, the State Prohibition organ. About a year ago young Garubrell, who is the son of a prominent Baptist minis? ter residing here and the editor of the State Baptist organ, began the publica? tion of the Sword and Shield, and has ever since, in very strong language, made war on Governor Lowery and the State Ad? ministration, and Congresman Catchings for bis action in penitentiary matters when he was attorney general of the State, and has been especially bitter on Col. Hamilton, criticising in unmeasured terms his action in tbe State Senate and as lessee of the penitsnthry. On April 21 there appeared in the Clb' ion a call signed over a nom deplume urging that Col. Hamilton stand for re? election. Two days later Gambrell's paper came out with an artie'e saying, in substance, that the people did not want a man to represent them in tbe Sen? ate who disregarded the interests of tbe people, aud whose sole purpose iu the Seriate was to look after his own corrupt jobs. It charged that, as lessee of the penitentiary, he was seeking to defraud the State out of ?80,000 through a loop? hole in his bond, and wound up by say? ing that the man elected must also have a high personal character. Since tbe publication of this article trouble has. been anticipated, and it came last Dight. Gambrell was walking up tbe street, aud just as he was crossing the iron bridge spanning Capitol street Col. Hamilton's carriage overtook him and shooting began. It is claimed by Hamilton's friends that Gambrell fired tbe firtt shot, and, that Col. Hamil? ton then jumped out of the carriage and the duel with pistols began on tbe bridge. This theory is denied by Gambrefi's friends, who claim that Gambrell was overtaken and the assault made on him, and that more persons lhan Hamilton shot. Gambrell wns found in a pool of blood, gasping, and soon expired. He was shot through the knee and through the bod tbe latter ball entering just below \h e navel and going clear though him, frac? turing tbe backbone aud lodging just under tbe skin of his back. The third shot went in an inch below tbe left ear, and ranged upward, but did not reach the brain. His face was also frightfully dis? figured, having been beaten and gashed by being struck with a heavy pistol. Col. Hamilton was the only person found on the bridge when the office? arrived. He also was frightfully wound? ed. His left arm was shattered at the elbow. He was also shot in the stomach. This ball has not been probed for, and the doctors are in doubt as to its cou rse. He is resting easy, but has a little fever this evening, and the result with him cannot be foretold. A coroner's jury began an investigation into tbe cause of Gambrell's death last night and have not finished tbeir labors yet. The testimony so far is conflicting. The three bullets have been extracted from Gambrell's body, and are said to have been fired from a 41-calibre Colt's revolver. The bridge where tbe battle took place is smeared with blood and splintered in many places by bullets. The top of Col. Hamilton's carnage also bos bullet marks. The affair has caused much excitement. Throngs of people have viewed the body of Gambrell to day. It will Dot be buried until his father and mother, who are absent iu Louisville, attending tbe Southern Baptist Conven? tion, can get here. Gambrell was unmarried, and about 23 years old. Col. Hamilton is over 50 and bos a large family. ? A terrible tragedy took place Satur? day morning near Spring station, Ky., on the farm of Capt. Blackburn, ex secretary of State, and brother of Senator J. C. S. Blackburn. Miss Henrietta Blackburn, accompanied by her cousin, Henrietta Hempstead, a young lady of nineteen years, went out to bhoot at a mark with a small rifle. They were joined by Samuel Blackburn, a young man of twenty-two, a brother of Miss Henrietta Blackburn, and a friendly contention was begun as to who should shoot first. The three engaged in a playful struggle for possession of the rifle, and in this struggle tbe weapon was dis? charged, tbe ball piercing the heart of Miss Henrietta Hempstead, and killing her instantly. ?

"Copyright has a good deal more to do with it than anything else," said a Broad? way bookseller when he was asked what kind of books he sold the most of. "It is a matter of price, with the average public I mean Pirated English works outsell the books of American writers, because there is no copyright on the English books and they are accordingly low priced. A new American book will occasionally sell well for a few weeks, but I am talking about the average sales. Next to the Bible, Shakespeare and Dickens, the best selling book is Tennyson's poems. There is no copyright and they can be gotten out very cheaply. You can get a first rate edition of Tennyson for" $1. After Tenny? son in popularity come Thackeray, Walter Scott, Milton, Byron and miscellaneous English poets. The American poets are slow soiling because they are copyrighted and dear. Longfellow is stiU the best selling American poet, end after him come Whittier, Bryant, .AJdrlch and Bret Harte. "Next to cheapness, gaudy binding seems to be tho principal attraction. When the two are joined, nearly any sort of a book can bo made to go. I remember the experience of a publisher, a friend of mine, that proves the truth of my view. He bought at an auction sale for a song, plates of Southey's 'Thalaba,' which once formed a part of a complete set of plates of Southey's works. My frftnd issued an edition of 'Thalaba'?which, you know, is a lurid nightmare which no one understands and no one but the proof reader has ever read through?bound it in an elaborate and attractive style and threw it on the market as a holiday gift book at $1.50. It sold like hot cakes. Of course no one that bought it ever tried to unravel the delirious puzzle the book contained, but it was poetry, it bore tho name of a well known author, it was bound-in a style that made it a good center table orna? ment, it was cheap-^and that was enough. "Cooper is the best selling American nov? elist. The copyright on his books expired long ago. The best selling shigle work ever written by on American is 'Undo Tom's Cabin,' which is still protected by a copyright, and which still sells, summer and winter, thirty years after its first ap? pearance, as though it were just out. My I my ! but there has been money made oul; of that book. Mrs. Stowe has made more from it tban from aU her other works together, and three or four pub? lishers have got rich from it "The introduction of the cheap paper editions has revolutionized our business, and that Of the juvenile book writer as well. A dozen years ago, we used to seU thousands of sets every year of books by Oliver Optic, Horatio Alger, Jr., Elijah Kel? logg and others. Now we very rarely have a cadi for anything of the kind. The cheap paper libraries of detective and hunting adventures have driven the other and better books out of the market?the worse for the growing generation's morals, I should say."?C. E. B. in New York Com? mercial Advertiser. Possibilities of Hypnotism. Dr. Hammond insis ts that the condition of hypnotism can bo maintained much longer than has heretofore been believed possible. He declares that he can keep a susceptible subject in a hypnotic state for two years; that in that condition he will do the will of the master mind completely, and upon return to a normal condition will have no consciousness of the acts done during the period of subor lina'.ion. He could be made, to commit, the doctor says, every crime in the calendar, and upon recovery would have absolutely no knowledge of what he had been doing, and consequently no remorse. We regret extremely that Dr. Ham? mond should have made this suggestion as to tho wicked possibilities of hypnotism. It would have been just as easy to point out its possibilities for good, which must be quite as great as its capabilities for evil. If a person can be hynotlzcd Into a condition of unconscious criminality, and so kept for an indefinite period, it must also be possible to hypnotize one into a state of unconscious integrity and trust? worthiness.?Detroit Free Press. Giving Her Pet Instructions. A little Boston maiden of G summers has a prize King Charles spaniel, for which a doting aunt paid the neat price of $400. Tho aunt was desirious of entering the dog, and, obtaining permission of the girl's parents, she did so. It then became necessary to break the news to the child that for four days she would be separated from her pet At first she refused to bo comforted, answering all arguments and offers of bribes merely by extravagant lamentations; but at length the inevltalle seemed to assert itself In the corner of her small brain devoted to philosophy, and upon the theory that what must be must be, she became more calm. She was over? heard, however, giving very earnest ad? vice to her darling upon the proper man? ner of conducting himself In this strange show to which he was going, and she laid especial stress upon the company he was to keep there.

Photography has never reproduced nat? ural colors. Scientists explain this fact by the statement that color has no ob? jective existence. It is simply the brain's interpretation of the rapidity with which the waves of a ray of light beat against the retina. Beats more rapid produce the sensation of the mind known as violet; beats less rapid, that known as red. Violet and red are nothing but variations of the ether until they reach the optic nerve and communicate to that the vibrations, which the brain translates.
