WHAT THE TIMES NEED.
God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and mody
hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does-not kill;
Men whom the spoils of oflice cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie:
' Men who can stand before a dcmagogue
And damn his treacherous flatterics without
winking;
Tall men. sun crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking,
For 'while the rabble, with their thumb worn
creeds, '
Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, 10! Freedom weeps,
WrOng rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.
—J. G. Holland.
Handkerchiefs.
There was recently exhibited in Paris,
preparatory to sale by auction, a collection
Of pockethandkerchiefs which had occu-
pied its owner many years in the getting
together.
Handkerchiefs appear at the first glance
to be singular and unprofitable objects for
a collector’s fancy, but the collection ex-
hibited at Paris seemed to prove that they
could be made to tell an interesting story,
illustrating he development of manners in
modern society.
The must ancient handkerchief in this
collection was merely a bit of silk tissue,
used many centuries ago by priests at the
altar. For centuries, indeed, priests were
the only persons in the European world
who used handkerchiefs at all, and they
used them only at the altar, and there only
for the sake of propriety.
The handkerchief of the altar was called
a facial.’ It was carried by the priest in his
girdle, and left with the vestmcnts of
worship when the service was done.
Presently the grand ladies of the court
began to provide themselves with similar
squares of silk. The next step was to em-
broider the edge Of these squares. And soon
their éonvenience recommended them so
highly that gentlemen connected with the
various European courts in some measure
adopted their use—Youth’s Companion.
A Particular People.
A great big ragged tramp was stretched
at full length on one of the benches in the
Circus park when an Officer approached
and dropped the end of his club against
him and said:
“Get out of this!”
“VV-who—what!” gasped the sleeper as he
struggled up.
“\Vhat are you doing here?”
"Sleeping, sir.”
“But this is no place to sleep.”
“It ain’t, hey?”
“No, and you have no right to stretch
out and occupy a bench.”
“I think I have.”
“\Vell. I know you haven’t, and if you
do it again I’ll arrest you!”
“Is that the law here?”
“It is.”
“'Well, you must be a mighty particular
people. If a feller wants to sleep he must
keep awake on account of the law, and if
he wants to stretch his legs he’s got to go
out and hire a vacant lot somewhere.
Say!”
“\Vell?”
“Put your old park in your pocket!
There’s no society for a man like me here,
anyway, and I just wandered in to show
the people that I wasn’t proud or stuck
up.”—Detroit Free Press.
Boys, Improve Your Time.
There are a certain class of boys about
every town and city who apparently do
nothing but loaf, smoke cigars and cigar-
ettes, and are neither a help to their parents
nor an ornament to society. Nine—tenths
of the convicts in the penitentiary were
street loafers when they were boys, and
preferred to get a living in some other way
than by honest labor and the sweat of their
brow. Too many boys are growing up in
idleness and are letting golden opportuni-
ties pass by unheeded. Your boyhood days
are rapidly passing by, and you will soon
be called upon to take up the cares and re-
sponsibilities of manhood. -
A good education is offered to you in our
public schools, and one that will fit you
for all active duties of life, but you are let--
ting this precious gem slip through your
fingers atsl instead of embracing this Op-
portunity of securing a good education, as
your par; :11; wish you to do, you are seen
on the s: .' *3: corner, stunting your mental-
and 111011: wers by the use of narcotics.
Boys, the iis a future before you. If life
is worth living it is worth living right.
Get an education, learn a trade and try
and make. a man of yourself, and let the
world be {sitter by your having lived in it.
——Mt. Ayr iceord.
Invention of the Compass.
The valuable invention of the compass is
involved in mystery and its real discoverer
is unknown. Lafiteau, in his history of the
Portuguese. discovery in the new world,
says that Vaseo da Gama brought it to
Lisbon from the coast of Africa on his re-
turn from Melinda, where the Arabs then
used it, and he believed the Portuguese to
have been until then ignorant of it. Some
attribute it to Flavia Gioja, of Amalphi,
about the year 130:2; while others again are
of opinion that the invention is due to the
Chinese, and that one of their emperors, a
celebrated astrologer, was acquainted with
it 1,120 years before the Christian era; nor
have others again been wanting who have
supported the opinion that it was known
in the time of Solomon. The ancient
Greeks and Romans are also supposed by
some to have used it, but the silence of
their historians on this subject renders this
statement doubtful.——Ncw York Ledger.
Penalty for Adulteration.
Severe measures have recently been
taken by the Russian government against
adulteration and the sale of injurious sub—
stances as food. Persons convicted of these
offenses will be liable to a fine of 300 rubles
(£48)Or to imprisonment for three months.
For a second offense these penalties will
be doubled, and a third conviction will en-
tail the loss of civil and pplitical rights
Mr. Bright’s doctrine of caveat cmpter evi-
dently finds no favor in the eyes Of the
czar. Our own “free and enlightened”
country might with advantage take a hint
frOm such truly benevolent despotism.—

"GHOSTS ’lN’D'STOEIES?
CURIOUS YARNS ABOUT PHANTOMS
AND SLEEP WALKERS.
Adventures with Specters Related at a
Party.'-- Extraordinary Experience of
Two Girls \Vhlle in the Arms of M01-
pheus—Noodles’ Strange Image.
Ghost parties are much in fashion. All
you need is a jolly company and a small
quantity of alcohol burning on a saucer in
the darkened room. While the spirits
flare blue and ghastly each one of the peo-
ple present takes his or, her turn at telling
some weird yarn—personal experiences are
by far the best grizzly phantoms and
spooks almost too horrible to mention. If
the story telling is good the test of its
quality is established by the thrills that
run down the backbones of the listeners.
At such a party in Washington one night
a young Noodles was telling of a ghost he
met with at an Old country house where
he had been invited to stay for a week. On
the evening of his arrival he was told in a
joking way by members of the family that
the bedroom allotted to him was haunted,
but he paid no attention to the matter, his
belief being firm against the existence of
phenomena supernatural. So when the
time came for his seeking his couch he
went Off to sleep without much delay, and
must have been in the arms of Morpheus
for more than an hour, according to his
reckoning, when he was aroused by a noise.
He sat up suddenly in bed and found him—
self confronted with what he at once rec-
ognized as a supernatural apparition.
A WEIRD SPECTER:
It stood at the foot of the couch and
eyed him, with face of ghastly whiteness
and garments that seemed of luminous
consistency, swaying to and fro. Some
how it appeared as if it were the image of
himself in grave clothes.
Noodles shrunk beneath the quilt and
lay there for at least three minutes—it
seemed an hour to him—before he dared
look out again.
“By Jove!” he said, “it must have been
only a dream.”
' Then he raised himself once more to a
seated posture, and fairly screamed aloud
when the scpulchral image rose again be‘
fore his gaze at the foot Of the bed.
With a burst of resolution that after-
ward surprised him NOOdles jumped out of
bed and turned up the gaslight close by,
which he had prudently left at a bead be-
fore retiring. Then the grewsome mystery
was quickly dispelled. Facing the rear end
of the bed, with windows on either side,
was an Old fashioned bureau. Through the
windows streamed the moonlight, while
the summer breezes played with the white
muslin curtains. When N oodles sat up in
bed his reflected image naturally appeared
in the looking glass, his torso clad in a
ninety-nine cent night shirt. The moon-
light, shining full upon his own person,
made the reflected simulacrum appear very
bright, while the curtain floating about in
. the wind gave the cfi'ect Of white drapery
such as is suitable to corpses that walk
abroad.
Noodles looked sharply at the faces of
the family when he came down to break-
fast the next morning, but he did not un-
derstand then, and he has never been sure
since whether or not his experience was
the result of a rather ill judged practical
joke.
THE SOMNAMBULIST-‘s STORY.
The next story teller told of an experi-
ence much more harrowing, though no
ghosts were concerned, which she and her
sister had met with in childhood. Both Of
them were addicted to walking in their
sleep, and it was not unusual for them to
join in a sort of cooperative somnambul-
ism and wander Off at night from their
bedroom together. On one occasion their
mother had met them in the hallway under
. such conditions,and slapped them so severe-
ly that they did not repeat the offense for
quite a twelvemonth. But about a year
after the event referred to they got up in
company and made their way down stairs
into the cellar. Probably the chill air
woke them up—at all events they did wake,
and not finding themselves in their snug
beds they were put iua fright. Said one
of the little girls to the other:
“Where are we?”
And the other replied:
“\Ve must be dead and buried.”
She had felt the damp, cold wall of the
cellar trickling with clammy exudations.
NO wonder that such a horrible thought
occurred to her mind. . IVhat else imagi—
nable could account fora situation thus en-
countered? The little girls felt their way
along the prison that enclosed them. Noth-
ing but a wall of moist stone for many feet,
‘ and then a. corner, 31!]. again to the right
at an acute angle for what might have been
a mile or two, so it seemed. Once more a
corner, and to the right the children groped,
their hearts half dead within them, past
the endless wall wet as with the dews Of
death. ’Wonder it is that they did not die
Of sheer fright. But, as it happened, the
little girl who told the story, now a woman
grown, with children of her own, touched
something that was made of wood and
gave a great cry of joy. For the wooden
object was a step, and it was not four sec-
onds later when the two children had run
up the cellar stairs, mounted to the second
flodr and sought consolation in their
mother’s arms.
A SUPPOSED BURGLAR.
The next story teller told about a fright
that he had one night while he was engaged
in locking up his house in suburban W'ash-
ington about one year ago. He was going
from the dining room to the culinary quar—
ters when his attempt to open the kitchen
door was met by an unmistakable resist—
ance. \Vhen he strove to throw Wide open
the portal it was shoved back upon him.
He gave a leap across the threshold, and
upon looking behind the door beheld a man
somewhat tallervthan himself, with a re-
markabl y large aqui‘line proboscis and long
black whiskers So much of the intruder
was visible in the gloom, and the master
of the establishment struck at him with all
his might. He hit something, but with-
drew his knucklcs somewhat bruised and
cut, while the objectionable person with
the Roman nose remained apparently un-
hurt and undisturbed. Again and once
again he struck, and only after" the. third
blow had been delivered did he discover
that the offender was 'merely a twelve
pound turkey that had been hung up be-
hind the kitchen door for the next Sun-
day’s dinner. The breast bone was the
Roman nose and the wings, left on the
bird au nauterel, represented the black
whiskers—IVashington Star.
A Queer “’ager.
Charles Queen, 3. Norfolk man, bet that
he could let a gallon of. water drop on his
hand from a distance of three feet, drop by
drop. After 500 drops had- struck him he
yelled “Enough!” and paid the bet of 850.
He said that each one fell like the blow of
a sharp stick, and a blister as large as a.
quarter was raised on the back of his hand.

DIPPED m BOILING OIL.
A Trying Ordeal in Ceylon to Detect a
Culprit from Several Suspects.
Recently the district judge at Kalutara,
Ceylon, had before him three persons, in-
cluding a village headman, charged with
causing grievous hurt to four others by
requiring them to plunge their right hands
into a caldron of boiling Oil. The medical
evidence described the hands as being in “a
sodden, suppurating condition,” the fingers
being in some cases deformed. In all
cases the injured persons were unable to
follow their ordinary avocations for about
a month.
The facts of the case, as stated in the
judgment, were these: A woman in the
village had some plumbago and rice stolen
from her; a headman made inquiry, and
failing to obtain a clew to the thief an-
nounced that it would be necessary on the
third day to hold an ordeal by boiling Oil.
This appears to be a not uncommon cuS-
tom in remote parts of the country, and
formalities are as follows: Some oil from
newly gathered king cocoanuts is manu-
factured by one of the friends of the com-
plainant. This is poured into a caldron
and heated to a boiling point. Each of the
suspected parties is supposed to dip his
hand into the vessel of boiling Oil and is at
liberty to sprinkle as much of the hot Oil
as he brings up with his fingers on the per-
son Of the complainant, who stands close
at hand. An exclamation of pain on the
part of the suspected person is construed
into an admission of guilt. If no such ex-
clamation is made the innocence of the
party is supposed to be established.
In the present case the evidence estab-
lished that the pressure on the accused was
not merely moral; that they were forced
to dip their hands into the burning Oil.
No force seems to have been used in bring-
ing them to the scene of the ordeal. They
collected there in response to the orders Of
the headman, who, seated on a platform
Opposite the vessel of oil, appears to have
acted as the presiding judge. Each of the
complainants deposed to the fact that he
was reluctant to submit to the ordeal, but
was forcibly dragged up to the caldron by
the other two accused and his hands
plunged into the boiling Oil. They had
sufficient self control to abstain from call—
ing out, except a boy of 17, who cried out
lustily and was thereupon pronounced the
guilty one. The judge took the fact that
it was a custom into account, but refused
to dismiss the prisoners with awarning,
as suggested by their counsel. He fined
them 100 rupees each, with the alternative
of rigorous imprisonment for ten months.

Cure for Laziness.
During a morning walk a merchant, who
was detained by business in Amsterdam,
came to a group of men who were stand-
ing round a well, into Which a strongly
built man had just been let down, says an
exchange. A pipe, whose mouth was at
the top of the well, had been opened, and a
stream Of water from it was flowing down
into the well and beginning gradually to
fill it. The fellow below had quite enough
to do, if he did not want to be drowned, to
keep the water out by means of a pump
which was at the bottom of the well. The
merchant, pitying the man, asked for an
explanation of what seemed a heartless,
cruel 'joke.
“Sir,” replied an old man standing near,
“that man is healthy and strong. I have
myself OIIOI‘GO. him work twenty times,
nevertheless he always allows laziness to
get the better of him, and will make any
excuse to beg his bread from door to door,
though he might easily earn it himself by
work if he liked. \Ve are now trying to
make him feel that he can work. If he
uses the strength which is in his arms he
will be saved; if he lets them hang idle he
will be drowned. But look,” continued
the old Dutchman, as he went to the edge
of the well, “the fellow finds out that he
has got muscles; in an hour we shall let
him out with better resolutions for the fu-
ture.” Such was the case, and the cure
was eii'ectual.—Somerville Journal.
How the. London Thieves Steal.
It is hard upon people who are on a genu-
ine Search for lodgings that they should be
subjected to suspicion in the houses they
visit, but the thief or thieves whose happy
hunting ground is any place where he sees
“apartments to let" is again so active that
the police are obliged to warn landlords
and landladies to receive all visitors with‘
caution. The lodging house thief has one
peculiarity. He devises pretexts for being
left alone in a room and then secures his
pocketable booty. ,
\Ve hear that the police are also deeply
interested in another class of thief who
hovers about the doors of banks. If an in-
nocent lookingr messenger of tender years
comes out with money the thief bears
down upon the unsuspecting child and
surprises him or her into a surrender of the
cash by a bold statement that a mistake
has been made, that the check has to be in-
dorsed, or something of that sort. “’0
should have thought this a particularly
hazardous enterprise for the thief in these
days of sharp children, and it ought not to
be long before the police make a capture.—
London News.
To Displace the Fashionable Cigarette.
Fashion has devised a way to avoid cig-
arette smoking and to do away with it in a
costly manner and one not so Offensive. It
is a reversion to clay pipes. Not the ordi-
nary clay pipes that sell two for a cent,
but French clay pipes that cost from 75
cents to $10. These pipes are much the
same as the Old style clay pipes. They
have a stem from 2 to 5 inches long, a
little tip at the end and a bowl. The bowl,
though, does not hold any more tobacco
than the average cigarette. It is about
One—quarter of the size of the usual clay
pipe. On the stem are stamped some let-
ters showing that the pipes are manufac-
tured in Paris. They have the French
trademark. The plain pipes cost 10 cents,
retail, or half as much by the quantity.
Any man who intends to smoke them in
the fashionable manner must buy a quan-
tit ‘.
\Vith the pipes is bought an amber and
silver tipped mouthpiece. Thisis two or
three inches long and is what costs. A
pipe is not intended to be smoked more
than at one sitting, then it is to be thrown
away and a fresh one inserted in the holder
in its stead. This looks fastidious, costly
and fashionable. The pipes and the holder
go in a Russian leather case lined with
pink silk and stamped with French names.
The pipe rests in soft blue velvet. This is
pretty and more fastidious than cigarettes.
It costs more than cigarettes and is not so
offensive or injurious. It does no more
harm than smoking an ordina pipe and
is probably less harmful, as less tobacco is
smoked. There is no paper, mucilage or
anything except the tobacco put into the
pipe—Chicago Herald.

Comfortable Couches.
Comfortable couches which show no
woodwork are-so inexpensive now that no
one need be without one or more. They
are for sale either simply covered with cre-
tonnc or left plain, and draped with a,Bag-
dad or other large rug. An old fashiOned
sofa which had been consigned to the gar-
ret was recently seen by the writer, and it
had been so transformed that it looked like
an extremely modern couch. The back had
been unscrewed and discarded, and an up-
holsterer had added new springs and a cov-
ering of stout white 510th, for which he
charged $3. Some handsome cretonne, fifty
inches wide and a trifle over three yards
long, had been converted into a spread by
simply hemming the raw edges. This was
laid over and pushed in at the place where
the slope of the head joins 'the main body
of the couch, no tacking whatever being
necessary. Two large pillows of the same
material placed against the wall make a
really handsome piece of furniture out of
one which was decidedly unsightly before.
There is a combination chair and table,
which as a chair has a round wooden back,
with a seat covered in tapestry. The table
is formed by simply turning the back over
to rest upon the arms. This piece of furni-
ture is suitable either for the hall or the
card room.—Art Amateur.
. Brass Ornaments.
Small brass ornaments cast or impressed
with the die are now being .applled to
furniture in the shape of rosettes and
kindred forms, being attached not only so
as to contrast with the wood, but to em-
phasize constructional parts. This is the
revival of a fashion dating half a century
Since and which long previously prevailed.
The startling effect of this brilliant fire
gilt surface is pleasing to the eye, coming
well in contrast both with light and dark
woods. Separately, these ornaments are
unmeaning, but are made attractive by
the way in which they are displayed.
Some of the quaintness Of old furniture is
due to their use, as well as to occasional
relief designs worked out of thin sheets of
brass, which take occasionally the place of
carvings for, centers of mahogany and ash
panels—Decorator and Furnisher.
Corner ‘Writing Desks.
Some corner writing desks in the Six—
teenth century finish are a. decided novelty.
They are richly ornamented with brass,
and two small, round mirrors which face
each other are placed on either side at the
top. A three sided drawer pulls out just
below the desk, and a small closet under-'
neath utilizes every inch of space. For a',
small library nothing could be better than:
this desk, as it takes up very little room;
and serves at the same time to_fllla corner;
