PROOF OF SINCERITY
Bow An Army Officer Stood the Supreme
Test of Belief In Fatalism.
In the days of the "old army" ou the
frontier , whin military posts were
sometimes hundreds of miles from any
civilized place , thcro was little to do in
the way of amusement in the winter
time when the post was snowhound ,
and it was then that the reputation the
army has for card playing and drinking
was gained. And it is true that n great
deal of both \vii3 done at that time.
_ _ It was in these days that an event
transpired that showed that the prin
cipal actor had the courage of his con
victions , and that he was most certainly
born under a lucky star. It was after a
very "wet" stag dinner party , and all
had partaken most freely of the wine ,
and , strange as it may seem , the subject
that came up for discussion was the
Mohammedan religion. The Mussul
mans believe in fate. To them a man's
fate is written above , and the time oi
his death is set , and nothing can ad
vance it. Well , this belief had been dis
cussed long and earnestly. The pros and
cons had been gone over at length , till
one officer wanted to know of what use
was reason if every one was horn with
a tag of destiny attached. Ono officer
finally arose and said there was no ukg
of discussing the matter any further.
The only way was to make a practical
test of the question , and ho would
give himself as a subject. Could a man
willfully dispose of his life when the
fatal moment had been chosen at his
birth from above ?
He could get no one to try the experi
ment on him. Finally a wager was
made.
"Who will pay you if I lose ? " said
the subject as he drew his pistol and
Bhowed that it was loaded. He placed
the pistol against his temple and pulled
the trigger. The pistol missed fire.
"A joke , " yelled the crowd.
The fatalist smiled , and , recocking
the pistol , aimed it with a steady hand
at the clock on the wall. He fired , and
the bullet crashed through the center of
the dial.
"Apologize to me now , " he said. ' 'I
have won the bet. I always believed in
fate. " Cincinnati Enquirer.
FISH AS FOOD.
The Dark Is Better Than the White For
an Active Person.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer , in The Ladies'
Home Journal , contends that there has
not been a sufficiently accurate analysis
npon which to base any table regarding
the chemical composition of fish at all
reliable. "The albuminoid matter in
white fish , as cod , haddock and halibut ,
is in about the same proportion as in
beef and mutton. They contain , how
ever , more phosphorus the active fish ,
such as trout and pickerel , containing a
still greater amount , due no doubt to
their activity. The amount of carbon '
depends largely upon the amount of fat
they contain. The whitefish are , there
fore , deficient in carbon. If you should '
ask an intelligent cook what vegetable j
to serve wifh a boiled white fish she
would answer quickly , potatoes , as they |
supply the wanting carbohydrates. 1
"There are other kinds of fish , however - ' j
ever , such as salmon , catfish and stur
geon , that are quite well supplied with
carbohydrates , in consequence of which
they are not so easily digested as the
white fish. The more oil they have dis
persed through the body , the more diffi
cult the digestion. In the white fish tha
fat is held in the liver ; in the dark fish
it is dispersed through the entire flesh ;
From this fact we learn that dark fish
make a much better diet for the active
man. Many authorities affirm that the
more active fish , as well as the more
active animals , give better muscle mak
ing food than their more indolent rela
tions. "
Kaiser and Fainter.
There was a touching exchange of
compliments the other day between Em
peror William and the Eussian painter
Verestchagin , whose works are now on
exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went
to the gallery and was gracious enougi ;
to remind the artist that they had met ' .
before. "Yes , your majesty , " replied
Verestchagin , "and then you were only
'highness , 'hut now you are 'majesty. ' "
To this the kaiser is said to have replied ,
holding out his hand , "And you , who
were a great painter then , are now a
greater one. "
It is not altogether surprising that
the Eussian is reported as expressing
deep respect for the emperor's critical
powers , or that he quotes , as showing
limitless historical knowledge , the em
peror's declaration , made at this mo
mentous interview , that "if ever a judg
ment of God broke over a man , it was
over Napoleon at Moscow. " Meanwhile
Verestchagin's pictures will continue to
reveal the horrors of militarism , and
thus supply one with the pleasant men
tal recreation of wondering what Eu
rope's one real war lord can see to ad
mire in them. New York Times.

Qoen Victoria's Sunday.
Qaeon Victoria's Sunday is described
in a recent number of The Quiver :
j "After breakfast her majesty takes a
turn round the grounds in her famous
donkey chaise , and then goes to morn
ing service There it is customary for
the preacher to wear a black gown and
to read from manuscript thftt is , in
England , for in Scotland tbo rule is not
so strict. No personal reference to her
majesty in the preacher's discourse is
admitted , a pure gospel discourse , delivered -
' livered as if the queen were not present ,
. being de rigueur. Many have tried to
evade these rules , but 'commands' to
I
I preach have not in those cases boon ro-
I peated. The queen likes and enjoys a
< plain , practical discourse , selected from
the lessons or gospel of the day , tooccu-
i py about 20 minutes in delivery. Questions -
, tions of the day , and , above all , poli
tics , must bo entirely excluded. The
queen , when in residence at Windsor ,
i was wont to attend service at the beau
tiful St George's chapel , but for some
1 years past divine service has been held
j in the private chapel which communi
cates with her apartments. The suit
and servants sit in the body of the
[ chapel in order of precedence. The Sun-
I day service is at 12 o'clock , and consists
I of morning prayer , antecommunion and
. sermon. The queen's seat is slightly in
advance of the others and is still more
1 marked by the presence of a small table
to carry her books. On this is carved a
I radiant sun , with the words , 'Heaven's
j light our gnide' the motto of the or
der of the Star of India. At Balmoral
j the Princess Beatrice or a lady in wait
ing plays the organ , the singing being
led by some of tbo servants of the cas
tle. "
A Question of Streets.
A stranger to the city boarded a Co
lumbus avenue cable car as it was pass
ing the postoffice and asked of the con-
1 ductor :
j "Do you go anywhere near 80 Seventh
street ? "
I "I pass right by it , " replied the con
ductor.
I "Please let mo know when wo get
' there , " said the stranger as ho settled
himself behind his paper.
I When the car reached Twenty-third
> street , the stranger looked up uneasily
! and glanced appealingly to the con-
! ductor. He said nothing , however , and
the car sped on up town as he turned
I again to his reading. At Forty-second
street he laid aside his paper and stared
1 steadily at the conductor from that
time until the car began to turn the
I corner at Fifty-third street. Then he
j got up , approached the conductor , and
' asked in a confidential tone , "Aren't
we almost at Seventh street ? "
t
j "Seventh street ! Wo passed that 20
minutes ago. You want Eighty-seventh
street. "
j "Ob , no ! " mildly responded the
( stranger , "I asked you for No. 80 Sev-
Jenth street. "
The conductor pulled the bell rope.
"Take the next car down , " he said
' simply. New York Mail and Express.
I She Wanted It Kemovcd.
She was rather fussy and evidently
given to magnifying mole hills into
mountains , and when a man entered a
car in which she sat and leaned a gnu
be was carrying against the door she
called out :
"Oh , sir , won't you please point that
gun the other way ? "
"There isn't the slightest danger ,
madam , " he said. "I am used to guns. "
"Well , I'm not. It would go off in a
minute and kill everybody in the car ,
if anything struck the nozzle. "
"You mean the muzzle , " said the
man , laughing.
"It's all the same by any name. Con
ductor , I wish you would ask men with
firearms to stand outside the car. "
"He says if isn't loaded , " answered
the conductor.
"What ! Notloadddl Then stop the
car quick and lot me out ! Good gra
cious , to think I've been riding all tlite
time in the same car with a gan that
wasn't loaded. Why , I might have bee/j
killed 20 times ! " And she nearly fell off
in her haste to leave the car. Detroit

Ocean Wave Power.
J. M. Dwyer , a San Francisco man ,
has invented and put in practical opera
tion a new method of utilizing the power
of ocean waves. His scheme is to anchor
at some distance from the shore a big
buoy supporting a strong.mast. From
the top of the mast a wire rope runs to
the motor proper , erected on land and
consisting of a simple arrangement
whereby the intermittent pull of the
3waying mast raises a weight which
gives continuous motion to a heavy fly
wheel.
The Horse.
Dr. Eomanes places the horse , in
point of intelligence , below the ass and
the elephant. The doctor says intense
fear in the horse corresponds to the
emotion of anger in man , and he char
acterizes it as a brief madness.
The first statutory mention of pins is
to be found in an English law passed in
the year 1483. The first patent pin ma
chine was one of American make
Wright's machine of 1824.

THE RETIRED BURGLAR.
Ho Tells of Some Very Unpleasant Expe
rienced With mirrors.
"I have had , " said the retired bur
glar , "some very unpleasant experiences
with mirrors. I think I have told you
how I once fired at my reflection in a
mirror , mistaking it for another man
a mistake that I thought I should never
make again. But within two years after
that I struck at a man in a mirror , and
smashed the glass and smashed my hand
and made myself uncomfortable gener
ally. It may seem strange to you that a
man could make such mistakes , but in
a dim light , and where everything is
strange to him , and he's all sort of keyed
up himself , I don't know as it is after
all. Still , after that last experience I
did think it would be Fome time before
I had any more trouble with mirrors.
But within a year I had an experience
that was a great deal worse than cither
of them.
"When I came out of a room in a
house I was in one night , on the second
floor , looking down the hall this was
pretty near the front where I was I
saw the figure of myself in a mirror at
the other end. It was plain enough ,
even in that light , but it startled mo a
little at first , and I threw up my gun at
it. Of course the figure's hand went up
and down , just the same as mine did ,
and it made mo kind of laugh to think
of it , and I could imagine the shadow
laughing , too , at a man who was afraid
of his own shadow.
"Then I went into the next room , and
when I came out of that into the hall
again my eyes sought the mirror again.
It wasn't very pleasant to see yourself
in the dark in that way , but it would
have been a mighty sight less pleasant
not to. But then I was all right , and I
stood and looked at it a minute and
threw up my arm at it same as before ,
just up and down , a sort of unnecessary
test , but it made me feel just a little
easier , and up went the arm in the mir
ror with mine , but this time , when
mine came down , the arm in the mirror
staid up.
" 'Now don't ' the
, raise your hands ,
man said , covering mo with a gun in
his upraised hand , voice kind of drawl
ing , but meaning business , yon know.
You know when a man means business ,
and this man did mean it , and I kept
my hands down.
" 'Oh , Bill ! ' he says , not moving a
inuscle and not shouting it out , but just
kind of drawling it out like the other.
"Then a man appeared beyond the
man that Was holding mo up , coming
toward him and me. He walked right
through the mirror , past the other man ,
and kept coming. It was all plain
enough then. In fact , I'd guessed at it
before , as may be yon have. The mirror
wasn't a mirror at all , but a doorway ,
an opening midway of a long hall , and
the frame was the frame of the door
way. There were rooms beyond , just
the same as those on the side where I
was , and it was the doors of those that
I had seen in the mirror and not the re
flection of those on my side. And it
Was out of one of those doors that Bill
came. The man with the gun had been
ready for me the first time I looked ,
but it must have been that Bill wasn't
then. But Bill was ready now , and he
came on past the other man , careful to
keep out of his range , of course , mak
ing for me , and he came around behind
me and took two or three turns of a rope
around my body and arms. Then the
man with the gun came up , and be
tween them they tied me up gocd and
strong. And that was a matter of some
four years. " New York Sun.
I.egal Equality.
The women are again moving in the
state of Illinois in the interest of equal
ity before the law. God bless them and
God speed them in their righteous quest !
The shame is that it is left for the women
to lead. Let the men inaugurate the
movement that will make for justice.
This cause has lost its newness. It has
had to pay full price for the crudities
and extravagances that gather around
every reform , but at the core the de
mand is a righteous one , and it must be
heard , and ultimately it must triumph.
Let no one lose heart and let no one de
lay any legitimate effort. Wyoming ,
Colorado , Utah and Idaho have fully
enfranchised their women. "Eastward
the star of ( this ) empire takes its way. "

It often happens that the doctor is out of H
town when most needed. The two year old H
daughter of J. V. Sclienck , of Caddo * Indian H
Territory , was threatened wifh croup. He H
writes : "My wife insisted that I go for the _ |
doctor at once , hut sis he was out of ti wn , 1 j H
purchased a bottle of Chamlicrlain's Cough B
Remedy , which relieved the child immediate- H
ly. " A bottle of that remedy in the house H
will often save the expense of ; i doctor's bill , ' H
besides the anxiety always occasioned by se- w J M
rious illness. When it is given as soon as the H
croupy cough appears , it will prevent the at- H
tack. Thousands of mothers always keep it |
in their house. The 25 and 50 cent bottles for H
