To ask for the one most J ut 1 v cele brated passage lu Limli-di prose litera ture is like asking 1' r the one most Justly celebrated sort i)f fruit la tle orchard. There are easily a score of equally worthy passages, earh one mak ing Its especial appeal to a different mood of the mind. Kuskin's description of Turner's slave ship satisfies our love for the ma jestic color and motion of the sea. De IJulueey's reverie on the nebula In Orion carries a sense of the vustness and mystery of the sky. I'ater's pic turing of the shield of Hercules re builds for us the light and life of burled Hellas. Swinburne's eulogy of UoHsetU astounds us with the splendor and speed of his words. Le tJallleniie's prose fancy, 'The Twelve Wells," stirs our hearts with the precious disquiet of old sorrows. Victor Hugo's oration in "The Man Who Laughs" awakens In us the ennobling passion of humanity. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech hushes the soul with its fine appeal to the heroic ,ln thejieart of man. " i' might go on" to "mention Kmerson,' I'oe, Tfcoreau, Hawthorne, Lake Har ris, Jeremy Taylor as well as St. Mat thew, St. John. Isaiah. Job and other peers In the parliament of words, but I content myself with making the one selection that Is perhaps my fa vorite In most of my moods. I refer to that stately ami sonorous passage from t'arlyle's -Sartor Kesartus" where he scs history as a stupendous procession fort h-issuimr from I'iuinio rian night and vanishing int p-Mhctie and fathomless silence. Here is the passage: "Like some wiM IhiinLi wild thun dering train of heaven's artillery does this m.vsi erioi; -; mankind thunder and tlame in long drawn. i;ni k -U'-fvcdi:r grandeur through the unknown deep. Like a God created. lire lireaihiug s;:r it host, we emerge from theina.ne. haste stormfully across the astonished earth. then plunge again into the inane. Earth's mountains are leveled and her seas tilled up in our passau. 'an the earth, which is but dead and a vision, resist spirits which have real ity and are alive? On the hardest ada mant some footprint of us is stamped iu; the last rear of the host will read traces of the earliest van. But whence? O heaven, whither? Sense knows not. faith knows not. only that it Is through mystery to mystery, from God to God." Edwin Markham in Success. The Word "Sinister." Of "sinister" a writer says: "How charged, since the time of the Itomans, Is this simple wonl with dubious things, with suggestions that are ever terrible! It seems to convey the vague threat of dreams the threat that is something worse than the clear menace of trouble in waking hours. Man want ed a word for such terrors and took the mere name of the left hand. This would serve as well as another, seeing that all words which we have filled with mental emotions had a grosslj' material beginning, as 'bitter' and 'sweet.' Emerson says that all lan guage Is fossil poetry, but the reverse is true human language has grown Into poetry and has come to life with time." Eeef Tea For the April. I have often had occasion to protest against the widely hugged delusion of beef tea being a highly nutritious food. As I have stated, it Is a stimulant and has the objectionable quality of render ing the bowels lax. In old age there is an opposite natural tendency at least, that Is the rule. When this rul? obtains and there is weakness we shall find in strong beef tea a most valuable medicine. But do not commit the mis take of regarding the stuff as food, says Home Notes. It will so stimulate the body that food can be taken; it will so stimulate It that the person will feel better, but it Is making li'm live on his vital capital. Beef tea is uj more nourishing than brandy. She Got n Job. There is a true story of one young woman who had devoted almost a year to pulling wires and using all possible influence to gain an Interview with a certain theatrical manager. At last her hopes were realized; she got her appointment, and she was finally ushered into the manager's private of fice. He received her most cordially and offered her a chair. "Thank you," she said gratefully; "I think I will sit down. I've been Just ten months get ting here, and I'm a little tired." And the manager, who Is really a great man and hence has a sense of humor, promptly engaged her. Charles Bel mont Davis in Outing Magazine. nollt of DalrnnbeM.

He collected indefatigably the quaint sayings of children, and one of the treasures of his library was a small manuscript, volume tilled with definitions that chil dren had composed. This volume was called "A Child's Dictionary," and these are s'liin; of tin definitions that Mr. Coudert would read from the book : "Dust Mud with the juice squeezed out of it."
