THE MONUMENT.
I think I may fairly claim to know
nqre of Monty’s peculiarities than
moat people for I have known him all
my life.
Therefore, when he told me one af
ternoon that he was going to be mar
ried, I felt in a position to pity the gill
from the bottom of my heart. ‘‘Monty,’’
by the way, ie a contraction of ‘’Monu
ment," a name I specially invented, as
summing up nearly both his physical
and mental aspect.
He was tall and extremely handsome,
after the style of the later and more
degenerate Greek gods bearing on every
feature and in every movement the j
stamp of languor and of laziness.
He Is Indolence personified, and. In
deed, If you take that away, there re
mains little or nothing but Obstinacy |
(with a tilk O). This combination ,
blended togeiher by a thick solution
of self-complacency, produces, meta
phorically speaking, a stone wall.
You cannot argue with him; he will
neither be convinced himself nor be at
the trouble of convincing you. You
cannot interest him against his will,
and he seldom wishes to be Interesled.
Finally, you cannot even have the sat
isfaction of quarreling with him, for
he will not be roused, and looks on
your supremest efforts to anger him
with the easy tolerance of a victorious
Perseus watching Medusa’s snaky
locks entwine themselves around hts
Angers, and strive to make him relax
his hold.
At one moment of our lives he would
have had me believe in his lordly way
that he was not unwilling to link my
destiny with him. But, strange to re
late, I remained unmoved by the gold
en prospect of his companionship, pro
tracted Indefinitely—perhaps eternally
—and his tentative hints lapsed Into
oblivion. To return to the afternoon In
question. Helng aware of bis artistic
temperment, J naturally jumped at ttie
conclusion that his choice had fallen
on a “daughter of the gods."
"Oh, no," he said In his slow way, "a
beautiful woman Is delightful to look
at, but not to marry, 8he would be
impossible to manage."
"Then Is she young?” I asked, al
though my curiosity was somewhat
dampened.
"Just 17," he observed, thoughtfully,
and was surprised at my exclamation.
HE WAS NOT A GOOD LOVER.
“But my dear Monty, you are old
enough to be—”
“Excuse me, Mlmmle, 1 would rather
ahe were still younger. Marry a child
and you may hope to educate her into
the wife you would cherish In your old
age.”
“O!” I gasped, “then what 1« she
like?"
"Inclined to be frivolous, but I shall
soon remedy that. The poor girl Is only
too glad to And a man who Is not hunt
ing her for her paltry Ave or six hun
dred a year."
That I could readily believe, and In
justice to Monty. I must say that mon
ey, as mere niouey, does not In the least
appeal to him. Perhaps that Is because
he has always had enough to be com
fortable.
But he was not a good lover! lie
was even then tar more Interested in
the academy than in his Aancee'e
charms There were three or four por
traits of lovely women that b • spoke of
In a way that made me glad the origi
nals did not come within his sphere of
acquaintance for the girt s sake
He did sat carry her photo In his
Crket It took him several moments of
rd thought to remember her atdi-ve
and 'when you are intimate enough
to call her hy her Christian name. he
remarksd please call her Huphemla
and awl BAe '*
•Why?” I ashed, determined on no
account to do so
' Because he answered tmpr#e*ively
"BAe la tow tneigaiBcaat for a uarrled

be afraid of the consequences. It Is Je
mima. Now, you may say (and with
perfect truth) that ‘‘Mlmmle'’ le not
particularly melodious, but at least you
will admit that nothing can be wr<se
than Jemima, and anything mlgh. be
better.
"By the way," said Monty, after a
pause, "I believe there was a time
when I had a fancy for you, Mlmmle,
and thought you might not make me
a bad wife."
"There may have been," I answered
calmly, "for I can distinctly remem
ber a time when I decided that certain •
ly you would make me a bad husband."
And Monty bestowed upon me one of
those all-furgtvlng, albeit sad, glances
that are so abnormally Irritating when
oue Is trying one’s best to snub him.
After Monty's casual remark I was
surprised to find Kffie a nice looking
girl, though with, of course, no preten
sions to the Junoesque that Monty de
mands of his Ideal woman. She was
young, Indeed, but had an old fashioned
way with her that was infinitely attrac
tive. I had guessed Intuitively that she
had neither father nor mother, al
though many people might say that
this was Judging my cousin too harsh
ly. Her guardians were an elderly un
de and aunt, who didn’t mind what she
did as long as she didn't worry them,
so I was glad to help her with her
trousseau, and see as much of her as
possible.
I soon discovered that Monty object
ed to her having so many friends.
’’Lancelot," as she was made to call
him, thought "gadding about'’ showed
“empty headndness."
‘‘But, my dear child," I exclaimed, he
surely doesn't expect you to drop your
friends Just because you are going to
marry him? Why, you will want them
more than ever. What do you suppose
you'll do when he’s at work all day?"
“Then he hasn’t told you he's going
to resign the partnership?" said Efflo
timidly.
My heart froze and the fact must
have been clearly evident to her, for
she hastened to add: "You don't think
he spoils me too much, do you, In giv
ing It up for my sake?”
And the recording angel should put
It to my credit that I only answered.
"Kffie, If he ever spoils you let m«
know.".
Yesterday I tackled him.
"What do you mean," I asked "by re
| tiring from business at your age?"
"And why not?" he said. "Isn’t a
husband's place at hla wife's side?”
"Most emphatically no," I rejoined,
with deadly earnestness "A husband s
duty is to make money for his wife to
enjoy herself with."
“My dear Mltutnle." he begged pite
ously, "don't put those sort of Ideas
Into Kuphemla'a head. You are too
frivolously minded to understand that
a woman should tie a man's handma.u
mentally as well as physically, and not
Ills plaything, I don't want a wife who
1 *'-quires amusing, or who wishes to
amuse me If I want relaxation I can
i come aud see you. 1 want her to be
ueefut, and domselteated. and—“
"And," I Interrupted, "what do you
think she will want to be?’’
Monty actually gasped Then he re
covered hi mar if sufllctantly to auswer
, characteristically:
"Hhe will want to be what I make
key.”

! HUMAN LIGHT GIVERS
MAN AND WOMAN WITH GLOW
ING FACES.
A Kemarkable Phenomenon Discovered
In California— The People Mhunned the
Man aa They Would an Kvll Spirit—
Wae Dying of Consumption.
“A friend has just told me of a sin
gular experience,” said a Ixm Angeles
physician. “He has a considerable
practice In the mining camps in So
nora, being employed by a large com
pany to attend the miners, A Mexi
can went to him one day and said that
there was a man starving to death on
the outskirts of town. The physician
went to the place indicated, but he had
Home difficulty In locating the man, as
no one would go with him, all, espe
cially the women, being frightened at
what they called the fire man. Finally
he found the shanty, In which lay a
man in an advanced state of consump
tion. He was evidently In need of food
and waH quite alone.
1 'Is there anything curious about
me?’ the man immediately asked the
doctor. ‘The people all shun me as
they would the evil one, and say I
aui the fire man. Shut the door and
look at me.’
"The doctor closed the door and
windows, so that the room became per
fectly dark, and then he saw that about
the man's face was a pronounced
aureole of light. His face gave out
light, and the doctor told the sick man
■o.
" 'Shall I hum up?’ asked the man,
" 'Oh, no,’ replied the doctor. 'It Is
something very rare, and the people
think you are a ghost.' The man died
soon after.
“I remember that Carpenter some
where cites a similar case—that of a
man who emitted a faint light that
caused him to be deserted by every
one, There was an instance of a wom
an who was luminous in Florence, Ita
ly, and created no little excitement;
but In this case the cause was electric
ity, ns the light was not visible ex
cept when she was rubbed, when her
entire body glowed with a rich light.
Hy rubbing her cbeeks at night she
could produce the light, and she so
terrified the people, especially the Ig
norant peasantry, that the authorities
had to interfere. Hr. I’hlpson, an ac
curate obseiver, states that he has
seen a phosphorescent gleam in the
eyes of a monkey In complete dark
ness, and a Houth American naturalist
confirms this. He was traveling at
night and had taken refuge in a tree
during a heavy storm. The darkness
was intense, not a gleam of light ap
pearing anywhere, when suddenly he
saw near him two fiery lights. Think
ing It might be a panther, he raised
the gun which he carried and fired
point-blank and heard some heavy
body fall Into the brush. The next
morning he found at the foot of a tree
a large monkey, the luminous objects
having been its eyes.”
HE FORCED A COMPROMISE.
With Ills Antagonist In a Well, the
Storekeeper Had the Advantage.
From the Kansas City Journal:
Charley Sheldon tells a funny story on
H. D. Shepard, who Is well known as
president of the liurlingame hank. In
the early daytt of Osage county Shep
ard kept a little store and tried to
farm, and on one occasion he dug a
well on his farm with the assistance
of Joe Richards, a neighbor. One day
Richards was working down in the
well and Shepard was handling the
windlass at the top, when a rancher
came along and wanted something out
of the store. Shepard shouted down
the well to Richards that he would be
gone only a minute an<l then went
with the rancher to the store. White
at the store another rancher came
along and wanted to trade Shepard
some cattle. Shepard, being the most
absent-minded man that ever lived,
forgot all about poor Richards uud
went with the rancher Into the coun
try. Returning at night, he went to
bed, still forgetting the man dowu lu
the well. Uut about t o'clock lu the
morning he awoke with u start, his
subconsciousness having brought him
to a realization of the situation Has
tily dressing, he went out to the well
and In frightened tones shouted down.
Joe, are you still alive?" Joe was
still alive, but he hail yelled so long
for help that he could scarcely .-peak
anti he was able to reply only In a
hoarse aud profane whisper. When
I get out of here," he said. "It won't
be me that they'll get the funeral ready
for." However. Joe was a man of his
word and Mbepard knew that be would
| keep a promise, so he sat down by the
wellslde and opened negotiations A

MAN-EATING LIONS.

When lions become man-eaters the*
Inert and treacherous brutes take m
unnecessary trouble to catch men, (4ii
while human beings are plentiful, nom
of them undertake perilous enterprise)

where to go that prey may be procured
with the least amount of risk or exer

how many men accompany the Tlllagi

only considers how these can be over

this way. So puny a creature as a man

p'ements for offense stands little
chance against such a foe an assailant

by marvelous activity and an Intense
passion for carnage. Under these cir

GIVES FREELY TO CHARITY.
Portugal'* IJmrii Dmrutn Her Tima
and Mou*y tu Doing Uooil.
From Harper's Weekly: We hear
less about Portugal than about Spain
at any time, and of late have heard
bus than usual. The queen of Portu
gal Is a sovereign deserving a long
mark for her Interest in hospitals and
hygiene, and also In the welfare of th«
children of poverty. At Alcantara she
founded, In 1893, a dispensary peculiar
ly for meeting the demands of childish
Invalids, as pleasantly situated as pos
sible, and spaciously planned, combin
ing a diet kitchen, consultation rooms,
surgical halls, and much of the depart
mental work of a hospital. Almost
every day the queen herself goes to the
establishment and takes a personal
share In the labors of the charity, now
waiting In the kitchen distributions,
and again assisting In the surgery. Sev
eral well-known women of her court
are equally practical. The general
charge of it Is committed to a religious
order, a favorite of the queen’s, but
the eminent Portuguese physician. Hr.
Silva Carvalho, heads the staff of med
ical workers. In one year (1895) there
were given to the building 8,559 con
sultations, 03,704 rations from the diet
kitchen, 32,521 bandages, 76,480 pre
scriptions and 470 vaccinations. The
milk and vegetables are furnished
gratis by the queen, and the medical
supplies are also defrayed by her. Fif
teen hundred babies were treated in
one twelvemonth. It Is said that there
Is not any royal charity of the sort In
Europe so efficiently managed, with the
additional active co-operation of th*
founder.

Nobody who ever saw Rosa Bon

of any personal vanity. A blue Jeans
blouse and breeches are not the drees
of a woman who thinks much about
her looks. But the painter was proud
of her feet. Once an English artist
painted her portrait. She was satisfied
with It, but noticed one detail with
disapproval. "But my feet." she asked,
“where are they? You must put my
hoots In because 1 have such small
feet.” They were small In reality, but
In the general earalessnesa of the art

The NmM) of Vast I in or lumto the

Though the other features all reveal
their special characteristics, It Is hope
less to try to read and balance them
aright without first carefully examin
ing the nose and allowing for the weak
ness or strength lundlcated by It. The
Roman nose Is unfailingly and correct
ly associated with will power and com
mand; the snub variety with self-ae
sertlveness, and the thin, high-bridged,
hooked type with avarice, A compress
ed nostril is not to be wished for, as it
Indicates suspicion and penuriousness.
When the curve Is heavy the character
Is usually correspondingly dull and un
interesting; well defined. It points out
the well-baianced mind, and perhaps
also a passionate disposition easily
roused and as easily calmed. The lit
tle, pointed, narrow nose proclaims It
self as Impudent and wanting In rever
ence, and when It Is united to a reced
ing chin and forehead, with eyes close
to the nose, the wider the berth given
the possessor of such unenviable quali
ties the better. So there Is much,very
much, In physiognomy, and one’s con
stant (not first) Impressions, though
not always Invariably correct, may, on
the whole, be trusted.
Wliy Hu Css the Right Hand.
Every pugilist, upon entering the
ring, takes special pains to protect the
region of the heart. All athletes un
derstand that the most vulnerable por
tion of the body Is undoubtedly the
heart. A hard blow, well delivered on
the left breast, will easily kill—or at
any rate stun—even a strong man. ;
Hence, from an early period men have
used the right hand to fight with and
have employed the left arm chiefly to
cover the heart and to parry a blow
aimed at that specially vulnerable re
gion. When weapons of offense and
defense superseded the fist It was the
right hand that grasped the spear and
sword, while the left held over the
heart ihe shield or buckler. From this
simple origin, then, the whole vast
difference In civilized life takes its be
ginning. At first no doubt the supe
riority of the right hand was only felt
In the manner of fighting. Hut that
alone gave It prominence and paved
the way for Its supremacy elsewhere.
