THE MASTER PASSION
Alleged to Be the Mania For Getting Free
Pa*«‘s For the Flay.
* ‘I was once present,u said Charles
Dickens, ‘‘at a social discussion which
originated by chance. The subject was,
‘What was the most absorbing and long
est lived passion in the human breast?
What was the passion so powerful that
it wonld almost induce the generous to
be mean, the careless to be cautions, the
guileless to be deeply designing and the
dove to emulate the serpent?’ A daily
editor of vast experience and great
acuteness, who was one of the company,
considerably surprised us by saying,
with the greatest confidence, that the
passion in question was the passion of
getting orders for the play. There had
recently been a terrible shipwreck, and
very few of the surviving sailors had
escaped in on open boat.
“One of these on making land came
straight to London and straight to the
newspaper office with, his story of how
he had seen the ship go down before
his eyes. That young man had witness
ed the most terrible contention between
the powers of fire and water for the de
struction of that ship and of every one
on board. He had rowed away among
the floating dying and the sinking dead.
He had floated by day, and he had fro
zen by night, with no shelter and no
food, and as he told his dismal tale he
rolled his haggard eyes about the room.
“When he hud finished and the tale
had been noted down from his lips, he
was cheered and refreshed and soothed
and asked if anything could be done
for him. Even within him that master
passion was so strong that he immedi
ately replied that he should like an or
der for tho play. My friend, the editor,
certainly thought that was rather a
strong case, hut he said that during his
many years of experience he had wit
nessed an incurable amount of self pros
tration and abasement having no other
object and that almost invariably on the
part of people who could well afford to
pay. ”—Exchange.

Hardy Climbinir Roses.
In the prairie rose •wo have a class of
hardy native climbing roses often found
growing wild in Michigan and the west
ern states, which we may plant with
confidence. Two of the more commonly
known roses of this class, which are fa
vorites everywhere on account of their
hardiness, free blooming, and the fact of
their flowers appearing just after the
other varieties are nearly over, are Queen
of the Prairie and Baltimore Belle, vari
eties raised in the year 1843 by a rose
grower named Feast, in Baltimore, from
seeds of the wild prairie rose crossed
with some European variety. These two,
the former red and the latter white,
when grow a near each other on the same
porch or with intertwining branches,
heighten each other’s beauty by con
trast. Both are of rapid growth and
may be employed to advantage for cov
ering any -.aisightly objects as walls, old
trees, old buildings, etc. Among the
most desirable roses of the prairie class
we have Annie Maria, vigorous, pale
pink, very few thorns; Baltimore Belle,
pale bluish, changing to white; Gem of
the Prairie, free, believed to be from
Queen of the Prairies crossed with Mme.
Laffay, rosy red, occasionally blotched
with white, large, flat flowers, slightly
fragrant; Queen of the Prairie, vigor
ous, rosy red, frequently with a white
stripe, medium or large size, double, fo
litige large, five leaflets, quite serrated;
Triumphant, vigorous, rosy pink, me
dium size, double or full, distinct, seven
leaflets arccommon.—Cleveland Leader.
April Fool Day.
The custom of sending one on a boot
less errand or otherwise ‘ ‘April fooling”
him on the first day of April is very an
cient. Yet it cannot truthfully be said
that any one is equal to the task of trac
ing it to its origin. Some antiquarians
profess to believe it a survival of the
travesty of sending the Saviour hither
and thither, first from Annas to Caia
phas and then to Pilate and Herod. This
opinion is strengthened by the fact that
during the middle ages that very scene
in Christ’s life was made the subject of
one of the Easter ‘ ‘Miracle Plays’ ’ enact
ed on the chief streets of London and
other English cities of the first class.
Even though the above opinion has re
ceived the sanction of Brande,. Moore
and Hone, it is not at all unlikely that
it is really a relic of some old heathen
festival, such as the Hnli festival of the
Hindoos or the Roman ‘‘feast of fools. ”
The custom, whatever its origin, of
playing tricks and pranks of all kinds
on the first day of this month is univer
sal throughout Europe and is also prac
ticed in many other countries and un
der various names. It is a curious fact
that the Hindoo Hnli festival, where
April fool tricks of all sorts are played,
is held on the night of the 31st of March,
and the orgies are not discontinued un
til sunrise on the morning of April 1.—
St. Louis Republic.
Proof That Sparrows Can Count.
There is no doubt hut that birds can
count, and an incident I -witnessed sev
eral years ago illustrating this fact
amused me not a little. A sparrow, with
four of her young, had a nest in a spar
row house under the veranda of my
dwelling. One day the old bird flew up
to the nest with four living worms in
her beak. The four little birds reached
out their heads with the customary
noise and were each fed a worm. The
sparrow then flew away, and after a time
. returned again with four worms in her
beak, which were disposed of as before.
The bird kept this up for some time,
during which I was an interested spec
tator.—St. Louis Globe-Dem.-.crat.
Important Information For Girls.
Blue eyed men are the most senti
mental of the species. At least this is
what an eminent physiognomist says.
They are peculiarly susceptible to the
influence of the opposite sex, melt under
the warmth of one ardent glance, have
emotional, mercurial affections and are
found by the coquettes to be easier game
to ba|f than to hold. —American Woman.

MAKE YOUR OWN SNOW.
Its Curious Formation lu the Fall Kuyi of
a *Iuiy Suu.
Two solid bodies, ono yellow, sulphur,
the other black, carbon, unite under cer
tain circumstances to form a colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon, which
must Sw; handled with much precaution
on account of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property of sulphide
of carbon renders it valuable to take
spots off of garments. If its odor is
more: disagreeable than that of benzine
or turpentine, it has at least the advan
tage of being dispelled quickly in conse
quence of the prompt evaporation of the
liquid. There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots of paint on clothes. It
does not do it, however, without creat
ing great fear in persons who use it for
the firs1 time, for they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared a large white
spot, the nature of which is hard for
them , to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows. Is then the garment
lost? No, tor fortunately after a few
moments the spot melts away never to
show again. It was snow and nothing
more. The sulphide of carbon in evapo
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air, and the result of that
is a sudden lowering of temperature suf
ficient to freeze the vapor of the atmos
phere1.
Without operating on your clothes
you may n-.ake the experiment in the
following way: Fill a small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame or heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through which yon have previously bored
a small hole. In this hole place a piece
of blotting paper made up^nto a small
roll. The paper mast reach to the bot
tom of the bottle and about an inch
above the cork. Within 15 minutes you
will see the outside of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity of which
gradually increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores of the paper as the oil
of a lamp through the wick. When it
gets to the open air, it evaporates, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to a temper
ature below -Vi degrees, has beeu frozen.
If you divide the paper outside of the
bottle into several pieces, you obtain
flowers and most charming effects. Yon
may make the experiment in summer
and in the full rays of the sun. The re- i
suit will be obtained then more prompt- I
ly, evaporation being more abundant.— j
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Moths.
Dr. Alrlricfcs of Kentucky is an en
thusiastic entomologist. When asked
for some information on the subject he
lias made a specialty of, he said: “To
study the habits of the moth family you
must live and grow up with them. The
finest varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured. The usual way is to go out with
a hand net and a pot of stale beer,
sweetened with a quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves th,e
moths feed upon, is the bait which lures
them to death. As soon as they light the
net is sprung over them, and later on
they are asphyxiated by being dropped
in an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I have
a house built especially for their prop
agation and filled with leaves of their
favorite tree. With the caterpillars
crawling to the right and left of me I
spend many a night watching their hab
its from a rude oot in one comer of the
building. It is quite a profitable busi
ness, besides being unusually instruct
ive. Some of the largest varieties are
the size of a humming bird, and the
rarest kinds, when properly mounted,
easily bring $25. The Smithsonian in
stitution at Washington before the fire
of several years ago, had one of the
finest entomological collections in the
world. ’ ’—Philadelphia Press.
The Color of Animals.
There is a connection between the
color and character of animals. Al
though much of the subject is veiled in
considerable obscurity, as a general rale
it may be stated that vivid, conspicu
ous coloring accompanies strength, cour
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the ruddy skin indicate carbon
or iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine
temperament, rapidity of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
on rashness. In the brute creation it is
rather character that has modified color
in the course of the survival of the fit
test. The timid animal, bird or fish pos
sessing the most neutral coloring lived
longest and left most offspring and so
gradually the conspicuous members of
the family were eliminated. This neu
tral coloring as well as color that
changes for protective purposes is the
external characteristic of shyness and
timidity, alertness of sense, keenness of
vision and scent and swiftness rather
than strength of limb.—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
Primitive Names.
The consternation which some bota
nists have raised in pressing the duty of
abandoning many universally accepted
plant names and adopting for general
use more primitive ones is spreading to
other departments of learning. It is
found that the whole English language
is in the same unfortunate condition as
the language of botany. It is proposed
to abandon “thinks,” “walks,” “lis
tens,” "freezes,” etc., for “thinketh,”
“walketh,” “listeneth, ” “freezeth, ”
etc., as having a much prior claim to
our regard.—Meehan’s Monthly.

LUCK IN ODD NUMBERS.
Superstitions of Modern 4 lam filers Which
Are “as Old as the Hills."
If there is one active principle that
enters into gambling, it is superstition,
and for almost every man that hunts the
elusive dollar over the desolate waste of
the green baize cloth, or on the race
track, or in any of the other multitudi
nous ways or places that one may lay
siege to alluring fortune there is a sep
arate fancy.
Jack McDonald, one of the best known
bookmakers of America, believes that
he is most successful in those years
which are indicated by odd numbers,
and if you are doubtful of the truth of
it ho will' offer you figures to prove it.
” Car ley 13,” as Bookmaker Woolf is
best known, has a steadfast belief in
“3,” and after he has selected a horse
to bet upon he will place an extra heavy
wager on him if he discovers that he is
numbered "3” on the programme.
Several superstitious betting men at
the Morris park races a few years ago
noticed the coincidence that the thir
teenth day of the meeting fell npon
June 13, and they straightway sought
out a horse numbered ”13” on the card.
They found one and bet upon him, and
to moke the coincidence most strange
he won.
That this belief in luck as applied to
certain numbers is as old as our philoso
phy is shown by the fact that centuries
before the Christian era the Pythagorens
and Platouists, who represented all
movements and phenomena of nature by
numbers, invented the science of arith
uomancy, consisting of the use of magic
al squares and applying occult powers
to numbers. On the combinations of cer
tain numbers depended systems of divi
nation, and particular virtues were as
cribed to numbers accordingly as they
were odd or even.
“There’s luck in odd numbers” is a
saying as old as the hills. As ancient a
writer as Virgil says the gods themselves
esteemed the numbers odd, for in the
eighth eclogue he wrote:
Around his waxen image first I wind
Three woolen fillets of three colors joined;
Thrice round his thrice devoted head.
Which round the saered altar thrice is led—
Unequal numbers please the gods.
The Chinese have similar ideas. With
them heaven is odd and earth even, and
the numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 belong to heav
en, while the even digits are of the
earth earthy.
So it is little cause for wonder that
our modem gamblers stick to their be
lief that fortune abounds in odd num
bers only.—New York Herald.
Reformed Geometry.
Almost 100 years ago two meu set
out from Virginia to visit the Scioto
valley, of the beauty and fertility of
which they had heard alluring reports.
On the third night they reached Clarks
burg, where they put up with a man
who appeared to be honest, bnt old fash
ioned and illiterate.
“Can you tell us how far it is to Ma
rietta and what sort of a road we shall
find?” asked one of the travelers.
“Yes,” answered the host; “that is
exactly what I can do, for I was appoint
ed one of the viewers to lay out the
road and have just returned from the
performance of that duty. ’ ’
‘ ‘That is f ortunate. What do you call
the distance?”
“Well, the distance on a straight line,
which we first ran, was 75 miles, bnt on
our way back we discovered and mark
ed another line which was much near
er.”
The two travelers had each spent some
years in the study of surveying and were
more or less amused at the idea of a
line shorter than a straight line be
tween two given points.
However, the next morning they took
the route which their informant had
pronounced the shorter, and true enough
they found his statement correct, for
the crooked road went round the hills,
while the straight one went over them,
and the distance round was less than
the distance over.—Youth’s Companion.
Gifts at Baptism.
Gifts to infants on their baptism are
of ancient origin. Formerly the spon
sors generally offered gilt spoons to the
child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons, because the figures of the 12
apostles were carved at the top of the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the com
plete set of 12, while for those who were
not so opulent four was considered the
proper number, and poor sponsors would
content themselves with offering one.
In the latter case the handle of the spoon
generally exhibited the figure of any
-saint in honor of whom the child receiv
ed its name. It is in allusion to this
custom that, when Cranmer professes
himself to be unworthy of being spon
sor to the young princess, Shakespeare
makes the king reply:
“Come, come, ray lord, you’d spare your
spoons."
The mug or spoon and fork offering
of the present day appears as a very
debased survival of a really beautiful
christening offering.—Westminster Re
view.
Business.
“Say, old man, I want to talk busi
ness to you a few minutes. ”
“Certainly; go ahead.”
“Could you lend me $25 without in
convenience?”
“Yes, I think I could.”
“Thanks. I’ll return it shortly. ”
“What security will you give?”
“Why—er—I—didn’t think any nec
essary.”
“Oh, probably I misunderstood you.
I thought you said ’you wanted to talk
business. ”—Indianapolis Sentinel.
Japan and Foreigners.
In the last century there was a Japa
nese law providing that no ship or na
tive should leave Japan under pain of
forfeiture or death; that anyone return
ing from a foreign country should be
killed; that no one should purchase any
thing from a foreigner, and that any
person bringing a letter from abroad
shonld die, together with all his family.

Their Verdict.
Many are the stories told of the re
markable verdicts brought in by ineffi
cient juries, but there could scarcely be
a Irettor illustration of what a certain
legal man calls "colossal inefficiency”
than the story he tells of the verdict
given by a jury in a western city. The
case under trial was that of a man who
—accidentally, as almost every one be
lieved—had fatally shot a friend while
the two were off with a hunting party.
The accused person was a prominent
citizen of the place and was greatly be
loved as well as respected by every one
who knew him.
As the trial proceeded the faces of
the jurymen were filled with anxiety.
Wheu they at lastretired, it became ev
ident to them that the prisoner could
not be acquitted of all blame, according
to the evidence, but they decided that
if ho must be considered guilty of some
thing they would make that something
as light as possible. Accordingly the
foreman gravely announced on the re
turn to the courtroom that they found
the prisoner "‘guilty of drunkenness.”
In spite of the gravity of the case a
ripple of amusement ran over the court
room at this verdict The judge, with
considerable severity and with great
clearness, again "charged the jury and
again they retired.
A long interval elapsed. At last they
came straggling in again. Once more
the foreman confronted the judge and
thus announced the verdict:
“We find the prisoner guilty of man
slaughter in the third degree, but”—
this in a tone of something like defiance
—“we don’t believe he did it!”—

An Expensive Bow.
A gentleman’s court dress is a very
expensive affair. It costs £40 at least,
without the shoes, stockings or sword.
Many men who are not members of par
liament or likely to wear their suit
more than once or twice hire it from
one of the numerous costumers who
abound in the neighborhood of Covent
Garden. Their charge is from £4 10s.
to £5, including the services of the
obliging gentlemen who attend to see it
properly put on. One ultra fashionable
tailor charges 0 guineas for one wear
ing, but his suits are of the best quality,
made to tit and of proper cut. Alto
gether, with silk hose, shoes, buckles,
sword and hat, a man cannot make his
bosv to the prince at a cost of less than
£10.—New York Herald.

Curing a Bolting Horse.
A horse purchased at an equine “rub
bish” sale was a confirmed bolter. No
sooner was it harnessed than it set off at
full gallop, a career which generally
ended in a smash and the immediate
resale of the culprit. But the new pur
chaser, far from trying to check this
propensity, resolved, as he said, to “hu
mor him a bit” and generously “lent
him to a fire engine. ” The horse soon
found that he was encouraged not only
to bolt at starting, but to keep up the
pace, and in six months was quite ready
either to stand in harness or to start at
any speed wished by his driver.—Lon
don Spectator.

The Jewish law ordered that the
grainfields should not be gleaned, and
that the wheat in the corners of the
fences or walls should not be gathered,
in order that something might be left

poor persons from entering his fields and
gleaning after the reapers.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all tho organs of the body are under the con
trol of tho nerve centers, located In or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged tho organa which they supply with
nerve fluid ure ulso deranged. When K Is re
membered that a serious Injury to tho spinal
cord will cause paralysis or tho body below
the Injured point, becauso the nerve force Is
prevented by the Injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will lie understood how
the derangement of thenorvo centers will
cause the derangement of tho various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are duo to
the Imperfect action of tho nerve centers at.
the base of tho brain, not from a derange
ment primarily originating in the organ It
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating tbeso diseases is that they treat tho
organ rather than tho nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe
cialist,has profoundly studied this subject for
over20years, and has mndn many Important
discoverlos in connection with it, chief among
