THE CALL "Come "said a voice to a poet as he sought an elusive rhyme One night when the world was sleeping, in the heart of the sweet May time. "Oh, how can I come?" he answered. "Let me alone, I pray, For the verse which I now am weaving the hearts of men will sway." "Come," said the voice to a statesman as he stood in the senate hall, And men moved on at his bidding like troops at a bugle call. "How can I come?" he answered. "My sun at its zenith stands. Before it sets forever my name shan. be known In the lands." "Come," said the voice to a mother with her children at her knee, Dreaming how safe and happy their life by her side should be. "Oh. I cannot come," she answered. "I pray you, let me stay. For how can I leave my darlings to wander far away?" No other word was spoken, but the poet left his pen, The statesman's name was heard no more upon the lips of men, And the children found no mother, though they called with sobbing breath, For the voice which spoke all must obey-it was the voice of Death. -Ninetto M. Lowater in New York Sun. DO FISHES SUFFER PAIN? Apparently Not, Though They Are In Many Bespects Sensitive. All fishes have nerves, and in some respects fishes are extremely sensitive. A fish that has buried itself in sand or mud so completely that only the tip of its tail fin is above the bottom will feel upon the slightest touch and instantly dart out of its sandy bed. A fish is very sensitive to movements in the water' Surrounding it. A shadow falling upon the water will startle a fish into flight. But sensitive as fishes are in some re spects, it is probable that they do not suffer pain from injuries received. Fishes are extremely sensitive at the nose. A fish that had in pursuit of prey run its nose against a rock might shake its head violently, perhaps in pain, but fishes sustain serious injuries from ac tual wounds without showing any indi cation of pain. In fact, the indications tend to show that they do not suffer. A fish that has been hooked by an angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry ing off- a hook in its mouth, may a few minutes afterward bite again at an other hook. Such instances are not in frequent. In such cases the hook would . probably be concealed by the bait and the fish would not be likely to see it, but the fact that it is ready to take the bait shows that it is continuing to feed, which it would scarcely be like to do if it were suffering great pain. A shark from whose body .all the viscera had been removed has continued to feed. Sensitive as fishes are about the nose, many of them use the nose in pushing stones and gravel about in building a nest for.the female to spawn in. The salmon notoriouzly often wears its snout down to the bone in excavating a cavity for a nest, and often it wears off its tail to a mere stub in brushing out stones and gravel. Yet such fishes frequently recover from their injuries and return to the ocean. Timid and sensitive as fishes are in some .respects, they fight one another vigorously. In such fights they may re ceive injuries that might be described as terrible. To these injuries they may pay so little attention that after the fight is over they go on with their feed ing or with whatever occupation they had been engaged in. Injuries which would throw a human being into-a state of helplessness do not interrupt the current of fish life. The fish may afterward diefromits injuries, bu't apparently it does not suffer pain from them. Fishes sometimes survive injuries of a remarkable character. The stomach of a capturedecodfish was found to be pierced by a spine of a flounder which it had swallowed. The sharp, thornlike spine projected about half an inch be yond the outer wall of the stomach into the fish's body. Apparently the codfish had suffered no inconvenience from this. The wound caused by the spine had healed around it, and the codfish was fat and in good condition generally. Neiv York Sun. ATTEMPT AT BUYING LAND. It Requires Tact te Buy Timber Land In the Mountains. It requires time and tact to buy mountain land. The following is a typ ical experience: "'I was riding along Tug river, in Hentucky, when I saw a tract of land upon which I concluded it would pay to erect a small sawmilL. I hunted up the owner, finding him seated on a log fish ing. " 'Do you own this land?' "'Sh', stranger! Fust bite I've bed,' he answeredinuagesjper. In about a minute he caught a fish, l. - repeated my 'question. " 'Got any baccer?' he asked. I gave him a chew, and in a few minutes he said, 'Which land?' "'That land along the road for a mile back.' "'Yaas.' " 'How much have you?' " 'Whar you frum?' 'Chicago. How much land have you?' " 'Five thousand acres.' "'What do you ask for it? "'Waal, it's worth $20 an acre, but ?er cash I'll swap fer $10 an acre. Kain't talk 'bout it now. Hey ter ketch fish fer supper.' "I sat on alog bside him for three hours, neither of -us saying a word, un til he arose and started home, while I mounted my horse and followed. "That night I got as far as to see his deed for the land and get a description. "'It may be a little short,' he said, 'an I reckon I'd take $40 fer it without surveyin.' "No inducement would move him from that figure, solI went on to theI next tract, which I did not want, the timber being too thin. " 'How much does Phillips want for his land?' I asked. "'Thousan dollars.' "'Can you buy it for me?' "'How much is there of it?' " 'A thousand acres.' "'I reckon.' "Two weeks later I received a deed, paid $1,000, and when surveyed the tract measured 980 acres. "-\Vashing ton Star. __ ____ Difrerences. "They say that human nature is al ways the same," said the middle aged lady. "But I don't think so." "What's the reason?" asked her niece. "Twenty years ago girls read maga zines and did needlework.

Gilbert Watkins is the name of a blind man who lives on Brush street, aear Taylor. Although he is so blind he -annot tell day from night, even though be looks directly at the sun, it does not interfere with his ability to travel. In tact, Watkins does more traveling than miost other people exccpt drummers. And, furthermore, he does the most >f it without any one to guide him. Watkins, when he is in the city, can be seen standing on the corners of some )f the down town streets, where he sells aotions and other small articles in order :o gain a livelihood. But he does not ;tay long at a time, because he likes to visit different places and meet different eople. He always attends the different elebrations and fiestas, where he says 2e is sure to enjoy himself. When Watkins wants to go- any place -he first time, he gets some one to guide im, if possible, but after that he can go alone at any time he wishes. He has yeen over nearly all of the roads in Cal ifornia, and only a few months ago he palked from this city to Los Angeles y himself. He says he is always well reated and finds people only too willing o tell him what is going on. According to Watkins' story, he is %ble to do these remarkable things solely by his memory and says that he can be taken anywhere and made to turn as many corners as desired, and that he an find his way back without assist ,ce. In this respect he seems to have the same faculty a cat is said to have and exercises it in the same way. When the blind man desires to go to a certain place he has never been taken before, he is led to it, and as he goes along he takes mental note of all the bjects he passes. Here is a rough cross ing, here some asphaltum pavement, here a dirt road with some stones on it, here some water, etc. When he wants to return, he takes them in reverse order and has no trouble. "The reason I can do this," he says, "is because I don't see a lot of things that distract me. You could do the same thing easy enough. Maybe in a mile I would only have to remember a few bjects. It is just the same as if a man who could see was taken through a dark alley, but every once in awhile was given a glimpse of his surroundings by a light being turned on. He could re member what he saw without any trou ble, but if he saw a thousand other things he could not. I know just how many steps it is from the corner to where I live and can walk to the place without even using my cane. Of course I am helped a great deal by the people I pass, because they know I am blind and always make room for me. "-San Francisco Call. A CASE OF TELEPATHY. One Lady Appeared In a Vision at the . Time of Her Death. A gentleman took a house in Ireland for six months and was accompanied thither by his wife and daughters. The house was furnished and had plenty of bedrooms. Therefore it was decided not to use a certain large, long room with cupboards along one side (which had all been locked and sealed up with tape) in which things belonging to the owners of the house had been put away. One evening one of the daughters, going to her room, saw an old lady wrapped in a shawl walking along the passage in front of her. The old lady appeared to know her way and hurried on without hesitation into the unused room. The girl called her sister, and they followed the dame into the room. But all was silent. No one was there. The dust ly ing about showed no signs of footprints. Shortly af ter the same young lady was reading on the hearth rug by fire light. Looking up, she beheld the old lady standing in the doorway watching her. Greatly frightened, she sprang up, and, rushing down stairs, was found faintng at the drawing room door. At last the family returned to Dublin. One day when a friend was calling the curi ous incident which I have narrated was referred to. The young lady very un willingly told her experiences. The vis itr seemed much struck and asked for an accurate description of the old lady. "For, " said she, "that house belonged to two old ladies, sisters, and when they let their house they went to reside at Geneva. One of them, answering exact ly to the description you have given, died at the time you saw her appear." -Realm.___ ___ The Grecian Portrait. The Grecian portrait seems the per fection of the human type to us, and artists copy it, although it is actually~ rare. In it the line of the nose is morel or less perfectly the prolongation of the1 IIhe'atinrtorehead. The hollow afi the root of the nose is almost effaced, and the prominence of the nose is softened. The absolute Grecian profile would therefore be represented in a drawing by a single continuo~us line for the fore head and nose. Yet another condition is essential for obtaining the fine Gre cian profile. The forehead should not be receding. This marks the distinction! between the Grecian and the Egyptian profile. -Popular Science Monthly. Strategy In the Street Car. Snobly-I had to give up me seat in the car to an Irish woman today, ye know. Cobly-Howible! How was that? Snobly-She remarked to a friend, that she didn't expect a seat, because, all the fellows in the car were hard working men. I couldn't stand the in put ation, ye know. -Philadelphia North American. The new moon falling between 8 and 10 a. m. in the winter time means cold rain if the wind is from the west or southwest, and snow if from the east. Victor Emmanuel of Italy was desig nated the Gallant, not only an account of his politeness, but because of his im petuosity in battle. The Way Out of It. A hater of tobacco once asked an old negress, who was addicted to the pipe, if she thought she was a Christian. "I spects I is, " was her reply. "Do you expect to go to heaven?" "Yes, indeedy." "But the Bible says nothing unclean shall entet there. Now, the breath of a smoker is unclean. What do you say to that?" "Well, I reckon I leave mn' bref be hin' when I enters dar. "-Washington Times. The first bank within the limits of the United States was chartered in Philadelphia in 1781. It was incorpo rated by congress under the title "the President, Directors and Company of CARLYLE AND THE CABBY. How the Latter Lot the Trade of the Great Philosopher. Carlyle was well kiown to London cabmen. For years he engaged a partic ular driver from the rank and refused to have any other. This man, however, lost his custom in a somewhat peculiar manner. Some medical students got to know of his preference for the driver, and, getting hold of the driver one day, they inquired if he knew who his fare was, when he told them h did not. The stu dents informed him that he was one of the most famous and eccentric writers of the day, and, giving him a book, ad vised him to appear to be reading it whenever Carlyle approached the stand. Cabby, without any suspicion, acted on their advice, and when the old sage next came for a cab he seemed deeply impressed in a very pretentious book. "Hello! Wha's that you're readin?" inquired the Ecclefochan philosopher. "A most hout an bout, tiptop, splen did book about that 'ere French revolu tion," was cabby's gushing reply. "Eh, what dae ye say? Let me see it," said Carlyle, holding out his hand. "Oh, certainly, sir," said the driver, anding him a copy of his "History of the French Revolution." " Weel, my man, " inquired the sage, apparently delighted, "are ye sure that you're roadin this work intelligently?" "Perfectly sure, " said the jehu confi ently. Then, thinking he ought to say something in praise of the book, he added, "Why, sir, it's almost as good as 'The Newgate Calendarl' " The grim old Dumfriesian glared at him, grunted out something, turned ab ruptly around and engaged the next :ab. From that day Carlyle never looked at him, but- stuck to the second man, who happened to have had the honor cf driving most of the distinguished men of the century. -Pittsburg Dispatch. The Motherly Landlady. A friend of mine changed his board ing place last week, going to one of those houses that advertise home com 'orts and a motherly landlady, which generally means that she is a person who will pry into one's private affairs and read long letters left lying about. This particular landlady happens to re gard drinking and smoking as particu lar devices of the devil, so when my friend began to praise a new brand of tobacco at the dinner table the other night she saw her chance and promptly chipped into the conversation. "Smoking makes men utterly selfish, she said, as a starter, enunciating her words as if she were sawing ice into symmetrical blocks. My friend was dazed for a moment, for he had not much experience with people who denounce everything as wrong wbich they do not personally fancy, but he quickly recdvered and an swered: "Possibly so, but after all it's a stand off, for abstinence from smoking seems to make people deucedly impolite. Or possibly you indulge a little? So many of the ladies enjoy their cigarettes nowadays." Then the storm broke. -Boston Post. An Editor's Confessions. Years ago a young and thoughtless man carrying on the profession, trade or business of a free lance journalist pre ,med to congratulate a friend upon the dignity of his position as assistant edi tor of a great daily paper. Those were the days when editors were editors, when nobody dreamed of assigning the title of new's editor or sporting edi tor to the man who divided his time between the scissors, the paste and the1 noisome and oleaginous flimsy or to the man who knocked into shape the effu sions of the sporting reporter. These were the days also when to be an assist ant editor was to occupy a position of responsibilty, trust and power, where as in these times the assistant editor is too often nothing better than the edit or's secretary. The assistant editor and the free lance journalist were not far apart in age. They had almost been contemporaries at Oxford, but the man of dignified position had a harassed and weary look, tired eyes and a ragged beard, and the free lance was young and lusty as an eagle. And this was the answer to the congratulation: "My dear X, wait until you have tried your hand as an editor, then you will know what it is to long for the days that are past. You will realize that the life of a tolerably succcssful con tributor is a thousand times more choice worthy than that of an editor. I used to write with pleasure and to tak'?a mod est pride in my work. Ncw I never write a line except to fill up 'white' or to make an article turn the column. Much of my time is spent in spoiling the work of others. "-National Review. - Savgdby. a Col Head. Sir Andrew Clarke, while 'tiraeii in Italy, ascended a high tower one evening and found at the top .another tourist, an Englishman. They chatted pleasantly for a few minutes, when sud denly the stranger seized Sir Andrew by the shoulders and said quietly, "I am going to throw you over." The man was a maniac. The physician had only a moment in which to gather his thoughts, but that moment saved him. "Pooh," he replied unconcernedly, "anybody can throw a man off the tower! If we were on the ground, yeu could not throw me up. That would be to difficult." "Yes, I could, " retorted the maniac. "I could easily throw you up here from the ground. Let us go down, and I will do it." The descent was accordingly made, during which Sir Andrew managed to secure help and, release himself from his perilous situa tion. -San Francisco Argonaut. An Enterprising Thief. "The most enterprising thief I ever heard of was one whom I was appointed by the court to defend," said Henry W. Joy, a prominent St. Louis lawyer. "A wealthy man died, and as fine a coffin was obtained as money could buy. There was some very heavy solid silver plate , on it. As the hearse moved off a well dressed, businesslike looking man was seen to enter it, carrying a little sack as if of tools. Every one who noticed him at all supposed he was an assistant of the undertaker. Just before the proces sion reached the cemetery the man emerged from the hearse and went ahead, disappearing at the gate. When the coffin was removed, all of the trap pings were gone, and the young man was not to be found. He melted the sil ver and sold it, and had it not been for* a pal betraying him he would never have been caught."--Washington Star.I Game of Dice.
