SEARCHING AFTER TRUTH. the BeaUxatloa TTu In Weird Discord to the Anticipation. "Truth lies at the bottom of a well," o the people of the world told her. She was young and fair, and she Bearched for Truth, hut her frequent visits to the well brought no discovery; only the reflection of her beautiful face in the water. One night a knock came at her door, and she sprang np and opened it. There on the threshold stood a bundle of rags, which moved aa if breathing. She shuddered a3 she asked, "Who are you?" Then came the answer: "I am Truth." "I would 6ee your face," she cried. "Nay, innocent one, my face is not fair to look upon, but I am Truth." The cold wind was blowing and cry ing, and she closed the door. The Truth she sought was pure and beautiful, not loathsome, and with the conviction of youth she was satisfied with herself for having refused this grewsome thing ad mittance. From that day, however, strange visitors knocked at her door, and each called himself Truth. First came a gay party of dancers, whose graceful figures swaying to and fro captivated her fancy; their musical voices held her as in their thrall. Their visit was like a delightful dream, and she asked, "Pray tell me who you are?" And they answered, "We are Truth." So she believed for days; then she real ized her mistake, and that they were not Truth, but pleasure. Again she went to the well, but there found noth ing. A day dawned brightly, and there came another knock. On her threshold stood a lovely child Its hair was garlanded with flowers, and its garb was spotless white. When it entered, it was as if a portion of the pure light of the sun had stolen into the room. The child's arms were soon intwined about the neck of the seeker after Truth. The odor of the blossoms intoxicated her; her heart beat with wild delight; a tender kiss was Etamped on her brow, and with a gentle whisper, "I am Truth," tho child was gone, and at her feet buds blossomed the room was light er than it had been for years. The memory of that vision remained with her a long time, but at last it fled, and then she knew it was Love, not Truth. Again she went to the well, yet found nothing. Years after another knock came. Her heart beat fast as the figure of a man en tered. His manner was flattering and full of grace his face seemed honest. She had never felt tho influence of oth er visitors exerted over her with the pow er of this one. She dared not ask his name, but as he left he said, pressing her hand, "I am Truth." For years she believed it; then came doubt, and she saw what had been her ideal of Truth was only Policy. The next visitor was a long bearded, bent old man, whose face was furrowed and whose hands were palsied. From his feeble lips came the words, "I am Truth." His stay was short, but she remembered that visitor, and oft when the days were drear she saw be fore her tho trembling hands, the thin, snow white locks, the bent form and the quivering lips, and she believed she had found Truth. But she was growing older now, and something told her that Sorrow was not Truth. Then she went to the well, and it was dry. But there, far down in its dsptbs, she saw a toad. "Who are you?" she cried, and a hollow voice replied, "lam Tradition." So she turned her face toward home and knew that tho whole world lied and was deceived. That same night came a knock at her door. She rose slowly and opened it. There stood the strange creature covered with rags her first visitor. "What would you? Who are you?" Then came the answer, "I am Truth." "I would see your face," she mur mured. "Nay, experienced one, my face is not fair to see, but I am Truth." "Yet would I see it," she made an swer, "for well know I now that Truth is not what Ave would havo it, nor is it fair." Then tho figure threw off its rag cov ering, and before her stood a skeleton. Now she knew her life search was end ed and that she had at last found Truth. Henry Russell Wray in Philadelphia Ledger. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. Mr. W. M. Ten y, wh'o has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky.. for the past twelve years, says: "Chamberlain's Cough Iiemedy gives better satisfaction than any other cough medicine that I have ever sold." There is good reason for this. No other will cure a cold so quickly; no other is so certain ;t preventive and cure for croup; no other affords so much relief in cases of whooping cough.

An English admiral who was once vis iting a French flagship laid down his quid on a convenient bulkhead before entering tho officers' quarters. Wheu he came out again, he was astonished to find the quid in the place where he had left it. "Poo!" said he, in the hearing of some of tho sailors, "you Frenchmen will never be true sea dogs. No English blue jacket, now, would ever havo left an ad miral's quid alone." Whereupon one of the French sailors stepped up, touched his cap and said: "Beg pardon, admiral. I was chew ing your quid while you was in there, but I put it back, you know, when 1 heard you coming out." Chicago Post. Fontenelle's Presence of Mind. The distinguished French author, Fon tenelle, was fond of asparagus cooked in butter. Cardinal Dubois was equally in love with the vegetable served with white Bauce. Being once invited to dine together at the house of a friend tho effort was made to gratify tho palates of both by prepar ing half the asparagus with butter and half with white sauce. While the preparations were in prog ress the news was brought in that the cardinal was dead. Fontenello did not wait a moment. Rushing to the door of the kitchen, he cried to the chef: "Jean! Jean! You may cook all the asparagus in butter." New York Recorder. A Polyglot Menagerie. A tolerably well practiced linguist is required for Mine. Scalchi's family of pet animals.

Dishes That From Their PeculUrlyuB tle and Lonely Character Demand At tention, Reverence and Silence An Epi cure's Serious Affliction. For my thorough appreciation of a large and good dinner I am, I believe, indebted to my father. He was a great diner, and it is well known that the fin est qualities of the English race are her editary. My father suffered from gout, and the doctors, who are a mass of prej udices, tell me that I also have got it. However, I am thankful to say that I know my own constitution. What is really the matter with me is a sort of cold accompanied by inflammation in one toe. It arises, I should say, from overwork. Old port is good for it. A fine appreciation of dinner should be accompanied by a large income. When my father died of apoplexy (brought on by a quarrel with his cook, who was a fair instance of talent as dis-. tinct from genius), I succeeded to his position in the firm, and to an income which even in the city is considered to be fairly large. I love largeness. I love large incomes, large houses, largo appe tites, large waistcoats, large dinners. I can never be too thankful that I can well afford large dinners. It was always my ambition to be, like my father, a great diner, and it would bo but false humility to say that I Bball die without having earned the reputation. I distinguish between the diner and the diner out. I do not want to be un charitable, but I havo no high opinion of the diner out. He does not, as a rule, take the dinner itself quite seriously. He is liable to show an interest in the women whom he takes in or in the con versation. Now, life is too short for that division of interests; wo only have time to do one thing well. Let dinner be that one thing. I say, dine merely dine. That is enough. Do that well, and you havo the best delight that this world can give you. As for conversa tion, I despise it. Now, there was the case of Charles Nutcomb. He was with us at one time and might for family reasons have come into a small partnership. It would not have been much some 8,000 a year but ample for a young and unmarried man who is willing to exercise ordinary care. Charles was a diner out, and for family reasons I once asked him to dine with me, although in a general way I will not have young men at my table. At the very moment when we were eat ing a vol-au-vent that from its peculiar ly subtle and lovely character demanded tho eater's attention, reverence and si lenceat that very moment. Charles Nutcomb was tactless enough to tell a story. It caused noisy laughter. It, if I may use the phrase, completely broke the spell. It was like whistling in church. However, it was not in conse quence of this indiscretion alone that I finally decided to get rid of Nutcomb. He refused port. A man who refuses port my port is a fool and conse quently unfit to bo a partner in Grorg bury & Pigge. A fortnight afterward I managed to make some excuse for get ting him out of office. I feel positively certain that ho would have embezzled money if he had remained. His after career only confirmed my low opinion of him. He went completely to the dogs became an author, in fact. But I am not unduly devoted to wine. Indeed I sometimes wonder whether I am more fond of that or of the solid part of the dinner Bth ar good. Both bring out all that is best in a man. The feeling of gratitude, for instance, is com mendable. It is impossible to think much about the commonest viands as paragus, the simple oyster, or even a cut from a perfect saddle of mutton with out feeling grateful. Then, too, dinner promotes the kindly spirit. When I lie back in my chair after dinner, breathing stertorously, my temper becomes kindly to the verge of fatuousness. When in the morning a clerk r -rives an hour late and makes some paltry ex cuse that his wife is dead, or some non sense of that sort I of courso dismiss him at once. But if I were to defer my decision until tho evening I should very likely confine myself to fining him a week's salary. If it were his first offense, and my dinner had been particularly good, I might even let him off with a reprimand. That is the reason why I do no business under any pretext after din ner. It is all very well to feel kindli ness, but one has to be careful that the feeling shall not influence one's actions. How inseparable from our dearest de lights are our deepest sorrows! I have but one serious affliction, the great soup the soup of the city has not a real at traction for me. It is richly expensive; it is hallowed by a thousand historical associations; it has brought ecstasy to the hearts of men with larger incomes than I shall ever possess, but to me it is al most a closed book. Sometimes when x am eating it at a city banquet I feel as if I could see afar off its perfect mean ing and catch dim glimpses of its su perb generosity. But that is all. Ican not love it as I know that it ought to be loved. Heretofore I have kept my affliction a secret, but last night, when Thomas Pigge and I were dining with the Fen dermakers (one of the 12 principal com panies), I noticed that ho was watching me. He saw that I did not really under stand that soup. However, I am not afraid that Thomas Pigge will ever dare to reproach me for this. He also has hia weak point, and, as he is aware, I know it. He is quite unorthodox on the sub ject of sauce hollandaise. He has a the ory as to the correct preparation of it which can only be characterized as dan gerous and revolutionary. But I must pause. I hear the gong, waking gently and sleeping as gently again. Blessed sound! Blessed, blessed dinner! I write no more! I go! Henry Pain in London Illustrated News. The Katydid's Sons;.

Living near this town is a woman whose prefectly bald head tells a curious story of jealousy and Indian cruelty. In 1839 Oswald Thurwald, a Swedish farm er, had a home in the territory close to the Texas border, and his family con listed of his wife, two daughters and a son. The Indians seemed friendly, pass ing over the Thurwalds even when slaying- the other settlers about and fre quenting their place to sell their wares and to purchase Buch goods as Thur wald brought out from the states for barter. He was rapidly growing rich and had made his preparations to move to Dallas, where he intended to extend his business, when the tragedy occurred that destroyed his home and scattered bis family. It seems that the chief of tho Tonkawa Indians, who visited that part of the country from the south on raiding ex peditions, had seen Elsa, the elder daughter, and fancying her offered to buy her of her father. But Thurwald, though fond of money, refused, which gave great offense to the chief. Return ing home, he incited his people against the Thurwalds, and the following spring they made an attack on him. He and hOiSon succeeded in escaping, but the wrfe and younger daughter, though they eluded capture the first few da3'c, were overtaken finally. Mrs. Thurwald sank under the fatigue of her flight through a rugged country, and when the Indians came up with them it was to find the girl holding her mother in her arms, the poor woman having just expired. The next day the girl herself, lagging -on the march from an arrow wound in her ankle, was shot in tho presence of her sister, who had been seized and held from the moment of the attack till now. She was taken to a village and given into the chargo of thequaws until the men should havo returned from the war trail. In the meantime the Kickapoos de clared war on the Tonkawas and raided the village, when Elsa Thurwald was carried oC with such of tho Indian women as were spared as 6laves. The Tonkawas, on returning, found the smoking remains of the house and started after the despoilers, overtaking them close to the Colorado, where an obstinate battle ensued, but both sides then consented to a truce. Tho chief of the Kickapoos, however, stipulated thjat the white woman should be given hah. This was opposed by the Tonka W-a chieftain, who claimed her by right of priority. This brought on a quarrel, which was terminated by a hand to hjkid fight between the rivals, resultm; in the chief of the Tonkawas being lallad and the bone of contention fall ing to the victor. n He carried her home and confided her to the care of his squaw with the injunc tion that if she were injured in any way .the life of the woman would pay for it. But, fired by jealousy for her successor, the woman took advantage of her lord's absence to wreak her vengeance on the detested object. Binding her to a tree, she deliberately pulled out the unfor tunate beauty's hair thread by thread. This torture lasted several hours, until the white woman's head was covered with blood and she shrieking with agony. When the chief returned and learned what had occurred, he ordered the witch Horned at the stake. She escaped into the bush, but was recovered and the sentence executed. Thurwald had now died, but his son, hearing of his sister being in the hands of the Indians, organ iced a. rescuing nartv and succeeded in liberating her after 18 months of captiv ity. Her head took weeks to heal, and it is thought her mind was affected by jfar savage treatment, though in 1875 she married a farmer in this vicinity. Her hair has never crown again.

The JoTial Birds Were So laughter Pro ToklcgThat the Sidegpllttlng Contagion Spread to Their Iluman Auditors, and Even the Loons Howled With Delight. "What amused our party most up in the Adirondacks," said a Scranton man, "was an entertainment given to us by a Bock of story telling owls. Our camp was away back in the wilderness of Herkimer county, and wo had hardly turned in for the night when a flock of owls alighted on a tree over us and be gan to tell stories and laugh. Every owl listened in silenco to the one that was talking, and when tho tale was fin ished the whole flock laughed as though they were tickled half to death. "They reminded us of a lot of drum mers in a smoking car, and they had such jolly fun it becamo contagions. We all rolled and laughed over tho fun the big eyed birds wero having up in the tree, and before long the side splitting contagion attacked some loons out on tho lake, which fairly yelled with de light whenever tho fun loving owls guf fawed and shrieked and shouted over a right good yarn told by one of their Qumber. "Onco in awhilo a fctory was eo funny beforo tho knob was reached that we could hear two or threo of the feathered listeners snicker ami chuckle under their breath, and when tho end came the en tire flock mado the woods ring. The jovial birds had met expressly to swap experiences of tho night before, and they talked so plainly that we could easily keep a run of their anecdotes as we lay on our beds of spruce boughs. "One of tho owls told about how a big rat that ho had caught by the back yanked itself loose and showed fight. The owl described how he had let the rat flatter itself that it was going to lick him, how he finally bit his tail off at the root, and how the rat then went squeal ing and zigzagging around with no rud der to guide its movements. The picture so amused tho eager auditors that they fell into the most violent fits of laughter, some of them tumbling from their perch, they were so tickled. "Another owl described tho tussle he had had with a tough old jack hare in a swamp. He said that the hare had car ried him along through the rushes and over logs for some distance after he had got his claws in its back, and that he at last brought the hare up standing by keep ing one claw in its hide and catching hold of a bush with his other claw. The hare rolled over and over as soon as the owl let go of tho bush, and the owl said that his feathers pointed in all directions when he finally got-tho best of the hare. Peal after peal of laughter followed the narrative. 'Another owl told about biting a snake's head off and trying to swallow it. The head stuck in his throat, and he would surely have choked to death, he said, if his mate hadn't come along just then and pulled it out with her claw. Tho story teller's predicament was such a funny picture to the imagination of the listening owls that they responded with yells of wild delight. "But the story that fairly upset the whole party of nocturnal roisterers and made them hoot and screech and flutter all over tho tree for at least five min utes was told by an owl with an alto voice. Ho said that he felt like kicking up some mischief the night before, so he sailed out to the settlement, settled down on the window sill of a house in which there was no light and began to tap on the panes with his bill. Tho folks were asleep, so he flitted to the opposito side of the house and tapped there. Nobody stirred, and he kept going from one side of the house to tho other till a woman got up, struck a light and began to try the windows to see if they wero fast. 'When she came to his window, ho peered in at her, and she started to scream so hard that in a moment her husband sprang out of bed, and four chil dren in their nightclothes came running down stairs nud shouting, 'Mamma, what's the matter? The woman couldn't tell what the matter was, although her hushand and young ones kept coaxing her to, but at length she caught her breath long enough to say sho had seen a spook at the window. "At that tho man dashed out aud be gan to search around the house, and the owl said he flew to tho top of a balsam tree, whero ho sat till tho man went back, when he alighted on the window sill ugain. The man was angry at his wife for making such a rumpus about nothing, so he drove the children back to bed and went to jawing her liko six ty. Sho jawed back, and they had it hot and heavy till tho man got up and cuffed her. Then she threw a dipper of water on him in the bed, and in jump ing out at her he knocked tho lamp off the stand and put out the light. The owl said he listened to their quarreling and fighting in the dark till he could stand it no longer, when he flew back to the woods. His recital filled his listen ers with merriment, and it was several minutes before they calmed down for another anecdote. "Well, sir, those jovial owls continued to tell stories till 2 o'clock, when wo all becamo so sleepy that we lost all interest in their amusing tales. The loons out on the lake laughed like all possessed whenever tho owls did, and tho two gangs of midnight merrymakers kept up their racket till wo had to go out and drive the owls away by firing our re volvers."

There is a young girl artist in New York city who earns her entire living by painting fans.

The Crowing, Farmer Tried to Stop Ills but It Didn't Work. When Charlie Trifles went out into the country for his health, he put up at Farmer Ellery Cranberrymarsh's place. Farmer Ellery was something of a poul try fancier and had one of those big, melodious, iramy cockerels of Buff Co chin extraction, with a voice that was a cross between the blowing or a geyser and the sound of a threo tined whistle on a boiler factory. About 8 o'clock every morning the rooster would arise on hia perch, and standing on his tiptoes make all the hens sick by letting go his voice like the sound of many waters. It also broke up Charlie Trifles' slum bers, and he was unablo to woo them back by cigarettes or philosophy. He made considerable comnlaint to Uncle tilery, and tue om gentleman Hunted over his poultrybook and read as fol lows: "There is one simple device by which a rooster can be reduced to complete and acceptable silence. The bird can not crow unless ho is able to stand erect and raise his head to the fullest extent. Now if a plank, or even a lath, be placed above his perch so that he cannot gain an upright position, he cannot possibly lift up Iris voice." Here was the solution, and Uncle El lery arranged laths above all the perches. In the early dawn before milking time Uncle Ellery crept out to the hennery to see how the device worked. The cock had just awakened and was trying to get up to turn his lungs loose in his usual mat utinal vociferation, but he was unable to raise his head. A hen opened one eye. and seeing his dilemma smiled and dropped off to sleep again. Uncle El lery chuckled. But the rooster was not to be foiled. Recognizing his dilemma, he dropped off the perch to tho floor, got a good grip on an adjacent crack in the boards so aa to take up tho recoil of the crow, raised himself up on tiptoe and let out his lungs in away that pulled Charlie Trifles out of bed and drove him to cigarettes. Then after a satisfied "cut, cut, cor-r-r-r-r," the rooster kicked a hen or two off the roost and dropped off into a con tented Blnniber. Minneapolis Journal.

Ethereal Waves Which Affect the Eye and the rhotographie Flate. Our eye does nfcact by detecting heat; in other words, it is not affected by the whole range of ethereal quiverings, bat only by a very minute and apparently insignificant portion. It wholly ignores the ether waves whose frequency is com parable with that of sound, and for 80 or 40 octaves above this nothing about us responds; but high up in a range of vi bration of the inconceivably high pitch of four to seven hundred million per second a range which extremely few accessible bodies are able to emit, and which it requires some knowledge and skill, artificially to produce to those waves the eyo is acutely, surpassingly and most intelligently sensitive. This littlo fragment of total radiation is in itself trival and negligible. Were it not for men nnd glowworms and a few other forms of life, hardly any of it would ever occur on such a moderate sized lump of matter as the earth. Ex cept for an occasional volcano or a flash of lightning, only gigantic bodies like the sun nnd stars have energy enough to produce these higher flutelike notes, and they do it, by sheer main force and vio lence the violence of their graitativo 'energy producing not only these, but every other kind of radiation also. Glow worms, bo far as I know, alone have learned the secret of emitting tho phys iologically useful waves, and none other. Why theso waves are physiologically useful, why they are what is called "light," while other kind3 of radiation are "dark," are questions to be asked, but at present only tentativel- answered. The answer must ultimately be given by the physiologist, for tho distinction be tween light and nonlight can only be stated in terms of tho eye and its pecul iar specialized sensitiveness, but a hint may be given him by the physicist. The ctheral waves which affect the eye and tho photographic plato are of a sizo not wholly incomparable with that of atoms of matter. When a physical phenomenon is concerned with the ulti mate atoms of matter, it is relegated at present to tho vaguer group of knowl edge summarized under the head of chemistry. Sight is probably a chemical sense. In the retina may be complex aggregations of atoms, shaken asunder by the incident light vibrations, and rapidly built up again by the living tis sues in which they live, tho nerve endings meanwhile appreciating them in their temporarily dissociated condition a vacrue speculation, not to bo further countenanced except as a working hy pothesis leading to examination of fact, but nevertheless tho direction in which the thoughts of somo phvsicists are tending a direction toward which many recentlv discovered experimental facts point. Professor Lodgo in Fortnightly Review. The Turkish Harem. In a recent lecture on "Turkey," Mr. Oscar F. Straus, ex-minister of the Unit ed States to that country, threw some in teresting light upon a most interesting phase of Turkish life the harem. The lecturer admitted that his knowledge camo entirely irom nearsay. lie nau never been in one and had never known a diplomat who had. He pronounced the institution not altogether unattractive. Turkish women are not secluded in the harem as in a prison. They are abso lute mistresses of that side of tho houso and free to exercieo their rights indis putably. A Turkish husband would not dare to enter his wife's apartments when it is not her pleasure that he should, and sho has only to place her slippers outside tho door to indicate such desiro for se clusion. In many ways the oriental wife makes her caprices felt, and her spouse can only submit with what grace he may, like his occidental brother. Tho right to divorce is vested with the husband, but the divorcee retires with all her property to her family and may marry again at once. And this right to hold property separately from their hus bands which English and American wom en havo only lately acquired has been the privilege of the Turkish wife for a thousand years. 3Ien In Petticoats. It will probably be a matter of sur jriso to the general reader to learn that tho petticoat was first worn exclusively by men. In the reign of King Henry VII the dress of the English was bo fan tastic and absurd that it was difficult to distinguish one sex from the other. In the inventory of Henry V appears a "petticoat of red damask, with open sleeves." There is no mention of a woman's petticoat before the Tudor pe riod. Exchange.

Once in awhile a meteor plunging in to the atmosphere of tho earth is neither consumed br the heat developed through frictionnor precipitated upon the surface of the globe, but pursues its way out into open space again. It brief career within human ken may be compared to that of a comet traveling in a parabolic orbit, which, as if yielding to a headlong curiosity, almost plunges into the sun and then hastens away again, never to return. In July, 18S2, one of these escaping meteors was seen in Austria and Italy. Careful computations based upon the observations which were made in vari ous places have shown that it was visi ble along a track in the upper air about 680 miles in length. When at its nearest point to the earth, it was elevated 43 miles above the surface. From this point it receded from the earth, its elevation when last seen being no lees than 93 miles. Although the resistance of the atmos phere was not sufficient to destroy the motion of this strange visitor, which con tented itself with so brief a glimpse of our globe, yet it carried the effects of that resistance out into space with it and can never shako them off. No matter what its previous course may have been, the retardation that it suffered during its passage through the air sufficed to turn it into a different di rection and to send it along another path than that which it had been follow ing. Youth's Companion. A Greek peasant living on tho island of "gina recently discovered a mag nificent statue buried in the ground, upon which had been a small plantation and which he had cleared. The statue was sold to a bric-a-brac dealer, who sent it to London, where it has just been bought by tho British government for the sum of 6,500.
