A BUDDHIST LEGEND.
Gautama Buddha sat beneathithe' tree .
Of Life and Death, whose fruit is mystery.
Thinkihg how close together, even as one,
Are Death and life——a shadow in the sun.
Do, as the shadows hasten to and fro,
O’er endless Life Death‘s shadows come and go.
To him there came a man ; “Dear Lord,” he said,
“Dhara. my mother. in the house lies dead;
A tomb of moony marble let me raise,
To stand forever to my mother‘s praise."
Lord Buddha mused, then on his features broke
The light transfiguring, the while he spoke——
“The dead shall live, the living shall be dead;
The dead want but a pillow for the head.
The dead rest, soon to rise, of life possest:
Who help the living. they alone are hlcst.“
The weary traveler, toiling o‘er the plain,
Stops by a shaded fountain, where, like rain,
The quickening water, dripping from the. brink,
Summons the thirsty wayfarer to drink
He reads these words upon the marble head:
“In honor of Dhara, my mother dead."
~Archio Livingstone Hodges in Boston Tran-
script. ‘
The Minuet and Cotillon.
This is Certainly a century of revivals. The
minuet and cotillon are being danced, we
drink our tea out of old china and are prouder
of old silver plate than the most beautiful of
modern designs; we go back to Queen Anne’s
time for our houses. and to Sheraton and
Chippendale. fur the designs of our furniture.
As to our pastimes, the origin of tennis is an-
tique enough for anything; and now we are
reviving croquet, the graceful pastime which
has been hibernating. so to speak, for four-
teen or fifteen years. i am glad that this is
so. I think that tenn: <, like other sports, is
rapidly acquiring a taint of professionalism.
Besides this, it is a selfish game, so far as con-
cerns the inability of people no longer very
young to stand the violent exercise it in-
volves; and now, what with the rules and
regulations, and text books, and champions,
and columns all to itself in the papers, it is
becoming quite as “public" a game ascricket
or football. Indeed, when I have seen some
of my friends charging across a lawn as hard
as they could go, with face like the August
sun at noonday ought to be, perspiration
running down their cheeks, hair disheveled
and a generally breathless look about them,
I think, as the shah does about dancing, that
“it is folly for people to take such violent ex-
ercise, when they can pay others to do it for
them.” Croquet requires just as careful and
scientific playing as tennis, and if it is not as
athletic a game, it is certainly more graceful
and quite as interesting, and I wish all suc-
cess to its rival—Kathleen in Leeds Mercury.
Be Loved His Dog.
I see, said a well known actor last night in
the Girard house cafe, that the Chinese the-
atre was closed last week because the leading
actor had lost his cat and couldn’t stop his
search for it long enough to appear upon the
boards. That reminds me of the early days
in San Francisco, when I‘v’alt Gosnell, a local
favorite in heroic roles, lost his magnificent
water spaniel. The animal was his only com-
panion, and he lavished his affect-ion upon it.
One day the dog disappeared, and no one
could find a trace of it. Gosncll was then in
high favor, and he drew crowded houses, al-
though he never had any reputation outside
of that city. He started out in the afternoon
to find the animal, and, finding a clew, fol—
lowed it up, and by 8 o’clock, when he should
have been ready to go on the stage, he was
nine miles from the theatre, and the manager
was tearing his hair in desperation at his non-
appearance.
A substitute was put on, but he was hissed
oil? the stage, and the theatre was closed at-the
end of the second act. Meanwhile Walt had
found his dog dead at a cabin outside the city
limits, where it had been taken by its captor
and killed because it showed a vicious dispo-
sition. Walt never appeared on the stage
again—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Remembered the Date.
In the summer of 18 on the 24th of July,
while sojourning in our little home in New
Jersey, I was awakened by the tramp of a
horse coming up the road, stopping at the
gate, driving through and up to the front
porch. I heard my little nephew’s merry
laugh at thought of our surprise, and the
distinct voice of my brother trying to sup-
press the child: “Hushl Do not let them
hear us.” They drove down to the barn. I
jumped from my bed (our room was on the
parlor floor). My husband was sleeping
soundly. 1 did not disturb him, hoping to
give him such a pleasant surprise. I passed
through the dining room into the kitchen
out on the porch. I could see readily every-
where. The night was the brightest I ever
remember. The awful stillness I shall never
forget. Bewildered, almost frightened, dis-
appointed, yet feeling sure of my brother’s
near presence, I called his name with no re-
sponse, and returned to my husband, telling
to him my strange experience. We made a
note of the date. My brother died that very
day at sea, the 24th of July, 1872.-Religio-

Chance or Providence?
The word “chance” is often used in lieu of
that Providence which “shapes our end,” a
fact illustrated by the story of the first meet-
ing of Jenny Lind with Otto ‘Goldschmidt,
who subsequently became her husband.
Jenny Lind had offered to sing inaid of
the Consumptive hospital, Brompton. A
hall, seating 900 persons, had been secured,
and the price of reserved seats was fixed at
two guineas, and the unreserved at one
guinea. When Jenny Lind learned this she
was angry, and protested that the manager
of the concert had doomed her to sing to
empty benches. But the result proved the
groundlessness of her fears—for the concert
netted nearly $8,000.
A number of musical artists applied for
permission to play for thecharity. Their
letterswere submitted to Jenny Lind, and
she selected the one written by a young Ger-
man composer, to be answered in the afiirma-
tive. She had never heard of him before,
and apparently the selection was a mere
chance. The accepted applicant was Otto
Goulschmidt, who then and there found his
‘ ‘luckdey. ”—Youths’ Companion.
The Oldest Bank Notes. '
T oldest bank notes are the “flying
mone ',” or “convenient money,” first issued
in China 2697 B. C. Originally these notes
were issued by the treasury, but experience
dictated a change to the banks under govern-
ment inspection and control. The early
Chinese "greenbacks" were in all essentials
similar to the modern bank. notes, bearing.
thename Of the bank, date of issue, the num-
ber of the note, the signature of the oflicial
issuing it, indications of its value in figures,
in Words, and in the pictorial representation
in coins or heaps of coins equal in amount to
its face value, and a notice of the pains and
penalties following counterfeiting. Over and .
above all was a laconic exhortation to in-
dustry and thrift: “Produce all you can;
spend with economy.” , The notes were
printed in blue ink, on paper made from the
fiber of the mulberry tree. ' One issue, in 1396
B. C., is all carefully preserved in the Asiatic

WONDERS OF THE EYE.
PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA.
A Little Mirror Disk That Has Blade Oph-
thalmic Science What It 15—“: Is Quite
a. New Invention—Near Sightedness Com-
mon Among the Ancients.
“I would like to examine the interior of the
eye,” said the oculist. But, when be per-
ceived a slight shrinking on the part of the
reporter, who assumed for the time the role
of patient, he smilingly added: “You need
not be alarmed; it will not hurt you a parti-
cle.”
Then picking up a little disk shaped mirror
with a hole through-the center he led the pa-
tient into a. dark closet, and after lighting a
bright gas jet told him to sit down on the
chair immediately beneath it. Next, he him-
self sat down opposite, so that the knees of
the two touched, and held the small round
looking glass in front of his own eye, like an
eyeglass, with the mirror side outward, in
such a manner that it reflected a ray from
the gas jet straight into the patient’s eye
through the pupil. He could direct the ray
easily enough, inasmuch as he was looking
along it through the small hole that pierced
the center of the disk. If you will hold a big,
flat button mold up to your eye and look
through it at the eye of a person seated in
front of you you will get a notion of the way
in which the oculist operated. Suppose the
button mold has quicksilv: red glass on the
surface turned toward the object, and you
will perceive how easy it would be to throw
a ray reflected from a light above the other
person’s head directly into that other per-
son’s eye, and to watch, through the hole in
the button mold.
WHATEVER THAT RAY REVEALED.
This was what the oculist was doing with
the mirror disk. The ray it reflected entered
the patient’s eye, through the pupil, and
lighted up the interior very much as a dark
room is lighted up by a bull’s-eye lantern
shining through a doorway from outside.
Just as the lantern might be turned about
this way and that, to illuminate various parts
of the darkened chamber beyond the door-
way, so the little looking glass was manipu-
lated between the forefinger and thumb of
the physician, as he held it before his own
eye. in such a manner as to reveal to his view
every portion of the inside of the ocular
camera obscure—for such the eye is; very
much like the camera of the photographer in
its construction and mode of working; and,
by gravy! it has been found out quite re-
cently that the so-called “ocular purple” in
the eye actually produces the pictures of ob-
jects seen on the nerve screen that lines the
organ, by a chemical process very much like
that employed by the photographer to bring
out the lines of his negatives. Possibly, some
day, by studying nature‘s method, the sun
print artist may learn how to photograph
colors as the eye does. Who knows?
The patient was very much relieved at
length to hear the oculist say that there was
nothing mrious the matter.
“I observe a slight inflammation of the in-
ner coat of the left eye,” remarked the phy-
sician, “as well as a mildly hyperacmic con-
dition of the lids, both of which little troubles
glasses you wear.”
“What is the little round mirror called
with which you examined my eyes inside?”
asked the patient while the oculist was en-
gaged in fitting glasses of various strengths
into a huge nose frame for trial.
“To that little instrument,” responded the
surgeon, “is due nearly all of the progress
made in ophthalmic science since the days of
the ancient Egyptians, 3,000 yeais ago. And
yet, as you see, it is nothing but a small,
round mirror with a hole throtgh it. It is
called the ophthalmoscopc, and was invented
by Helmholtz in 1852. So fewyears ago as
that very little was known about the eye be-
yond what the 01d Egyptian physicians were
acquainted with. However, as to the Oph-
thalmoscope, I was going to Sty that it af-
forded the first means ever dscovered for
studying the interior of the liu'ng eye. From
that point modern ophthalmit science really
took its rise, and there is not much about the
eye today that is not underst .”

Some Queer Packages Can-led by the
Mails of Great Britain.
As usual, articles of great variety have
been discovered in the undelivered corre-
spondence and parcels. One parcel contained
a human skull, the crown of which had been
sawn off; another, thirty green tree frogs, all
alive. In a tin mold was discovered, still in
good condition, a plum pudding which had
been sent to Australia three years previously,
and had found its way back owing to the im-
possibility of tracing the lady to whom it
was addressed. Specimens of the ladies’ dress
improver and packets of made up hair for
ladies’ head gear may be seen in the museum
in which those various articles find a tem-
porary resting place. The composition of
some parcels at Christmas time was peculiar.
In one were two petticoats, a pair of stays,
a leg of mutton and a packet of tobacco. in
another, a rabbit, stuffed with two tobacco
the whole being wrapped up in a lad y’s
jacket. In the parcels stopped in transit as
contrary to regulation were found a cat. a
squirrel, pigeons, lizards, dormice, snakes, a
cuckoo, muskrats and moles, all alive, not to
mention one or two other parcels containing
dead dogs and cats.
During the repair of a postofiice van in use
on a Cornish railway, a £5 note in a dilapi—
dated condition was found behind one of the
panels. and with the assistance of the authori-
ties of the Bank of England was returned to
to the post.
village, and after careful inquiry no trace
contents.
Nearly seven months afterward a lady re-
siding 11.1 the same village happened to open
one of a large number of newspapers which
about to be destroyed unopened, and the let-
. ter dropped from betWeen the folds of the
newspapers, into which it had slipped while
in the post. She at once returned it to the
postofiice, and it was then duly delivered to
the addressed.
A very objectionable practice, and one
likely to occasion risk and disappointment to
the sender, is the growing habit of transmit-
ting money in various articles sent by parcel
post. Four sovereigns were found in a mass
of crushed grapes, six in a packet of tobacco,
and ten shillings mixed up with smashed eggs
and butter.
A native of India, residing in London, ex-
pressed a wish in September, 1888, to send
by parcel post the ashes of his cremated
brother, to be dropped into the sacred Ganges,
but was informed that, unless he could limit
the weight of the parcel to eleven pounds.
the postoflice could offer him no facilities.
No further application was received on the
subject.

The Good and the Bad.
_ Ella Wheeler ‘Wllcox, in a little meial ser-
' mon, takes occasion to say: But, whether in
town or country place, he who seeks shall
find that which he seeks. The man or woman
who sets forth on a quest of evil is sure to
find it. Early in life I realized that there
was more of pleasure to be derived from ob-
serving good than evil, and, consequently,
sought and found it existing in abundance
about me.
It is the crude idea of the youthful mind
that the world is divided into two armies—
the good and the bad—one clothed in dark-
ness upon the left, one in garments of light
upon the right, and in deadly opposition to
each other. As we mix with the world this
illusion vanishes, for we find the two armies
clothed in the same habiliments, mixing to-
gether amicably, and the deadly battles are
‘ fought, silently and out of sight in each
human heart, between right and wrong.
A great native virtue, planted too gener-
ously in a human heart and deprived of
careful cultivation, often degenerates into
a rank vice, and the world not infrequently
mistakes a sterile and inactive nature for
one of great chastity and self denial. The
summer sunlight is beautiful and beneficent.
but it is not as prone to‘produce bugs as but-
terflies, weeds as ferns, while the winter sun
produces neither. Yet the summer sunlight
is of more use to us than winter’s chill rays,
despite the bugs and weeds. A wise garden-
er uproots the one and kills the mischievous
insects. '

I “Grasshopper Tom’s" Antics.
l The clerks at the district buildings get a
good deal of fun out of the antics of a large
l black and white cat in an adjoining stone
1 yard. From morning until night he may be
seen cautiously picking his way among the
large granite slabs in search of grasshoppers.
Now and then he flushes one, and then the
fun begins. Tom watches where the grass-
~ hopper lights, and makes a flank movement
behind the resting place of the unsuspecting
insect, and before the latter has time to
stretch his wings tabby is. upon him. The
‘ mode of catching him is the interesting part
of the proceeding. Tom springs upon what
he evidently considers the correct locality
and plants his two paws close together on the
spot, and lools around to see if the game is
escaping. If :he retreating grasshoper is not
in sight he care ully lifts one paw and can-
tiousl y peers under.
Failing to see his game there, the other paw
is lifted. When at last the captured game is
. discovered Tom is all excitement. Hs tail
j suddenly develops new life and moves from
; side to side‘with great rapidity. Folding his
3 hind legs, ready for a spring in case he misses
l fire, he daits his head in the direction of the
f game, and rarely fails in his first attempt.
Catching the grasshopper in his month he
gulps hill down and, smacking his chops,
moves on for more game. There are two
varieties of grasshoppers in this locality, and
Tom is fastidious, preferring the small va—
riety with scant wings, although he eats ap-
parently with much relish the larger ones
after dettching the wings. The boys have
dubbed the cat “Grasshopper Tom,” and
when out cries out, “Tom's on the trail,” it
3 is the signal for a general stampede toward
; the windbws; but Tom doesn’t mind having
an audieice, and continues his hunt uncon-

A Pccu'llar Pig.
In the year 1821, Czar Alexander visited
the fortifications in the Crimea. He went pm-
somlly to the quarters of each company at
dimer time to see how they fared. Wher-
eve.‘ he went he found , an excellent dinner on
the table, the principal feature at the meal
being a small roast pig.
Prince Wolchonsky, who accompanied the
czar, was of a suspicious nature, and it oc-
curred to him that it was rather peculiar
that each mess should have a roast pig, so he
slyly cut off the pig’s tail and put it in his
pocket.
In the next quarters they visited there was
a roast pig on the table, but 10 and behold!
it didn’t have any tail. Prince Wolchonsky
remarked to the czar that he thought the pig
was an old acquaintance, and when the czar
asked liim what he meant, he produced the
missing tail and fitted it to the amputated
stump of the porker. As soon as the roast
pig had been inspected in one house, before
the czar could reach the next- it was whisked
out the back door and made to figure on the
next table that was inspected.
Prince Wolchonsky had good cause to re-
pent of his curiosity, as he acquired the eter-
nal enmity of the general in command of the
- Crimea, and even the czar himself treated
him with coldness and neglect ever after-

I feel bound to state it for the benefit of my
readers as may be concerned with similar in-
stitutions. Though in some sense a public
library, the books are not given out free, a
small sum being charged, so much per day for
the use of them, and the library is open but
two days in the week, and then only for a
couple of hours. The consequence is obvious—
a man takes out a book and finishes it per-
haps on one of the off days. Then the work '
is laid aside, and he never thinks of it except
on aday or at an hour when books are not
received, and the result is that books are
kept out for a week or two, at least, anda
corresponding revenue accrues to the library.
The advantage of this plan is twofold. Few
books are read (always a great point gained
in a public library), and for those that are
read a large fee is extorted from the reader.
It is superfluous to add that the books in this
library are carefully wrapped up in brown
paper, and that the person who presides over
it is eminently well suited for the post.--Bos-
ton Post.

the efforts to treat catarrh during the past
obliges us to admit that only one remedy
has met these conditions, and that. is Ely’s
Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has
mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more dis-
tressing symptoms yield to it.
