Yean and yean ago , In a certain country ,
certain queen reigned supremo. All the
world has beard ot her , but eho shall bo
nameless. Sno was a cold , baughty , Im
perious woman , ruling absolutely. The
country prospered during her reign , but , al
though the pcoplo acknowledged her power ,
ho was held In great awe. After all DUO
was but human , and had a heart , which
once , at least , wn touched. The man on
whom she secretly lavished much affection
treated her with all homage duo , her rank ,
but she was uncertain whether bo really
cared for her for hcreclt alone.
Ono day thl/s queen heard of palmist
who had acquired much fame for his accurate -
curate telling of the future and people's
character from the lines In their pilms. She
mould not demean herself by going to him
unknown , but would have him come to her In
the midst of her court. The palmist was
notified of the great honor conferred upon
him , and mi evening was appointed for him
to visit her majesty. 1'unctual to the
talnule , ho presented himself at the palace.
Howas not much over SO , pleasing to look
at , and carried himself with dignity. In hta
eyes ono might have observed a troubled
look. Ho told nhvijB the exact truth of
what ho eaw , and bo realized that the queen
Jiad been accustomed to flattery all her life.
Immediately upon his arrival the palmist
was ushered Into the state hall , a most
Bpaclous , magnificently decorated apartment.
All the lorda and ladles of the court had
Ibecn bidden to hear the future of their
queen , She thought It would add ono more
drop of complacent self-esteem to have all
the pcoplo hear from the lips of this cele
brated palmist how great aud virtuous she
was. i
" \Vo have called you hither , sir , that you
may read our palm and tell ue ot the thlngo
you eco therein. "
The palmist Jwwed a second time , and re
plied : "Your majeaty overpowers mo with
your gracious condescension , but think you
H Is right that I should prcaumc. to predict
the future of ono so tlllustrlous as yourself ?
Power end greatness and yours. Wo all
BCD It and feel It. la It not enough for you
to know7"
The queen's cyca flashed. "Is It for this
you have come to Invent excuses , mcthlnks ,
to hldo your Ignorance ? Proceed , sir , to
look at our hand. Wo would know what
dcccltfl are being practiced on our people. "
An answering Hash came from the palm
ist's eyes. "Ae you will , so be It , your
majesty , " ho replied , sinking on ono knee
In front of the throne. Then ho placed a
cushion for her to rest her hands upon , and ,
when all was In readiness , raid to her In a
low voice : "Is It the queen's wish that
all this aEscmblcd court shall hear what I
"havo to ray , and that will bo what I see
in these royal palms ? "
Sbo smiled slightly at the last words and
nodded SFeent.
"I would ' 'twcro otherwise , but to begin,1
end the palmist continued : "You will gain
your desires , your majesty , no matter the
coat. You are selfish and could bo cruel on
occasions. Your aim Is power , and In this
llfo you will gain It "to the fullest degree.
Men's minds you will control , theJr hearts
never. In faot , through the line of heart
a "
"Enough , sir ; wo sco how paltry Is .your
knowledge , and wo are grateful to you for
your oplnlcn of us. "
The queen snatched her hand away and
teed quivering with passion before him.
"Now , sir , " she went on , "your reward
you shall receive. At noon tomorrow you
hall dla on the gallows. Have you aught to
ay , palmist , speak ? "
"What you have paid Is not strange to me ,
your majesty. I foresaw by my own band
spoken trulyvto me for meay months. At
flvo minutes of 12 a reprieve shall bo sent
to him at the market place. Ho shall then
BCO that some , at least , ' 6t bl predictions are
false. I ran be .generous when I please. "
The morning eun streamed In through a
narrow opening Into a .prison cell' , resting
gently on the bowed he-ad of a man. It
streamed In through a lattice window of a
Door boarding house , touching a women
sobbing as If her heart would break. It
played about a palace , and , as a shade was
drawn , crept Into a royal dwelling , but was
as quickly excluded. Perchance It beard a
volco say , " 1 would sleep longer , let no
light In. "
So It scampered away and danced merrily
up and down a gallowe erected In the square.
The hours ollppcd by. At length the shut ,
ters In the royal abode were thrown open.
When the queen waa ready to receive once
more , she called for her special messenger.
As ho entered ho made the customary salu
tation , but his face was white , and ho looked
at the queen as no loving subject should
look. She banded a paper to him , and cald :
"It lacks but a quarter to the noon hour.
Take thlo paper to the equaro where the
callows Is erected and read It to the palmist
before the people. It Is his rightful reward ,
a reprieve. Nay , more , give him this purse
of gold , and say to htm bcforo the multi
tude , remember , 'Behold a queen's gcu-
croslty. ' "
"Too late , your majesty , " the messenger
replied , "your clock Is twenty minutes slow.
I have but Just come from the oquare. The
palmist la dead. "
COMPENSATIONS IN IILIXDNESS.
SennntloDH of n Woman Hi-fore and
After tinAflllctloii ,
"Somo day I may wrlto a paper to bo
called "Compensations In Blindness , ' " said
a Washington lady , still under 30 , who , the
Washington Star reports , has been totally
blind for nearly a decade. "Ten years ago ,
when I was told by several distinguished
oculists that I should Inevitably become
completely blind within a very few months ,
the shock was almost beyond my strength.
Had I not been of great constitutional hardi
ness , the brooding I permitted myself to
Indulge In at iflrst over ithe specialists' pro-
nunclamento would unquestionably have
undermined my health. Then I forced my
self to emerge from the heavy shadow , and
braced myself to submit philosophically to
the final extinction ) of light , for the oculists
were right , and every morning I found that
I perceived objects more and more dimly. I
gradually ncwed myself up to meet the
htuvy day when I should awake In utter
darkness. When the day came It was not
so bitter as I had anticipated , for I bad
grown used to the contemplation of the per
petual shadow that was In store for me.
"Now , as to the compensation In blind
ness. Can you understand that the world
seems very much more beautiful to me now
than It did when I could read a newspaper
by the light of the full moon ? Wo of the
slghtlces eyes fall unconsciously Into the
habit , as time passes , of Idealizing every
thing that presents Itself to our notice. We
are thrust upon our Imaginations so abso
lutely you know , and I suppose It is quite
true that the Imaginations ot blind people
are extraordinarily active. I have often
fancied , since-I became blind , that Milton's
deprivation of sight was In reality a bless
ing to tli ? world's literature ; for I am firmly
of the belief that his blindness stimulated
his Imagination and enabled him to portray
his colossal plctuces' with Infinitely more
beauty than ho could have been able to con
ceive had bo been In possession of bis
sight.
"But , as I started to say , we ot the useless
eyes unconsciously develop Into Ideallzers.
For example , I am visited by many dear
women , friends whose faces I have never
QUEEN SNATCHED HER HAND A WAY AND STOOD QUIVERING WITH

lojufitlco ot one tar above mo ID this world , "
ho reviled.
" 'Tla well , elr , you are picpared , and for
tunately In the next world people will bo
pared your arts. " Thus epoko the queen.
Durlnc this tlmo the courtiers and ladles
bad remained mottonleea , eo astonished were
they at the scene going on before them.
There was a slight remonstrance from a few
of the boldest , who dared to venture to
reason with the queen. She waved them all
aside anl eald : "Tho court U dismissed ;
take the man away and eeo that my orders
are obeyed. "
Then ho stepped from the throne end
wept from the room , looking at no one.
The palmist was taken to a prison cell.
There that night a touching scene took
place. Ho had requested for ono last Inter
view with hla wife. They had been married
but six months , and eho was a beautiful
girl. How nobly now she bore her part.
"If there no hope ? " ehe whispered j "uo
line to save that awful break la your line
of life and fate ? "
"None. " he cald. "She may repent , but It
Will be too late to save mo. "
He took her hands In his , tad , looking Into
ber eyes , went on : "My wish U that you
continue my work. You know much already ,
nil from my books you will som know all ,
You and I are the only onea to keep this
Kreat science from falling Into the bands
of gype'es ' and mere fortune tellers. I bavo
given my life for It. "
"And I will do no Icea , " said hla wife ,
Interrupting him.
The last few words of parting were spoken
between them , too sacred for cny ono to
bear , and then the was led away.
> Vhcn the queen reached ber private
apartment she walked rapidly up and down
trying to calm herself. She spoke halt
loud , "Ho told me wore truth than 1 care
to bear , and before the courtiers and ladles ,
tor , that he shall be punished , but not as he

seen. I am told that several of these friends
are hopelessly plain as to features , but I
have observed that those who , as I hear , are
the least attractive as to their exterior
beauty have the sweetest voices , which In
Itself la a compensation for them. U U a
compensation for me. In that I am the bene
ficiary of that alcne which Is the most at
tractive thing about them their voices and
I am spared the acute sympathy I might feel
for them could I see their lack of personal
beauty. Again , my people occasionally take
me to the theater. I venture to eay that now ,
after having been blind for nearly ten years ,
I enjoy a good play very much more than
these whose eyes eme them well. When I
wa > ; quite a young woman , and possessed
ot the best of sight , I recall that there were
many actors and actresses whose enuncia
tion and delivery of their lines were admir
able , but whoso natural or assumed manner
isms jarred upon me. Now I hear the voices
ot the players alone , and their flna or vicious
speeches ; eo that all stage heroes are Sir
Launcelots and all villains Sir Modreds to
me. When. I am told that a girl ha comes
to read to mo Is considered lovely by every
body I , am , eure , after she has been described
to mo , thai I picture her very much more
beautiful that anybody with sight does.
Again , you know that many fine musicians ,
vocal and Instrumental , men and women , are
desperately Ill-favored , and the performing
marjier.i ot some of them are distressing , as
I myself remember. But I only bear their
music , you perceive , and the musicians are
all angel * ot light to me. When I am led
through the parks , and Inspired by the ap
pealing' fragrance of the lilacs , I cannot see
the flowers that are withering. "

RAILWAYS OF JAIMJT.
Phenomenal Frogm * of the ( lamp-

Lost year (1S97) ( ) the progress'of railway
entcrprlro In Jo run was phenomenal , re
ports 'tho Japan Times. Since the pioneer
railway waa constructed between Toklo and
Yokohama , a distance of eighteen miles , In
1872 , the system has been extended at an
average rate of 100 miles a year , so that
at the end of March , 1897 , which concluded
the twenty-ninth fiscal year , the total mile-
ego had reached 2,448 miles. At ono leap ,
however , during the year just expired , no
lees than 630 miles approximately were
added to the total , ( hu's bringing It up Vo
3,000 miles In round numbers. , Of the , lines
newly opened for traffic during last year ,
the Tokuyama section of the Sanyo rail
way and the Choehl section ot the Sobu
railway wore the moat Important , to ? their
mileage alone aggregated 120 miles a .id
some fractions ,
Of the works of construction actively
pushed on since last year wo may men
tion among the government lines the Cen
tral line , the construction of which was
begun from the three" dlfferdivt'termini at
Nagoya , Hachlojl and Shlnonol ; the Kom-

Hokurlku .railway , and tbo Fukushtma-
Yamagata section of < ho Tohoku railway ,
which la to effect a junction ultimately with
the Aomorl terminus ot the Nippon rail
way's lino. With regard to private "railway
enterprise wo may mention the ccust section
from Talra to N'akamura of the Jyoban

Ing the dance as an art from a lofty philoso
phical piano Is qulto another species of
spiritual and bodily exercise. The Hungarian
band and the masculine presence have played
no part In the Lenten dancing class that has
held Its sessions In private .drawing rooms In
New York City for the last five weeks. This
now departure In art has been under the
guiding eye and volco of a young and lovely
Instructress who wears a soft flowing gown
draped In Qraeco-iRoman folds and made ot
dull 'blue ' or green or rose tinted nun's
veiling.
The whole object of this new movcemnt
In the sul'tntory ' art Is to teach womca "how
to dance with expressive sentiment , with
luminous grace and philosophic meaning. "
At least that Isvhat the high priestess In
the nun's veiling toga explains to her at
tentive pupils. They do not dissent when
emphasize the meaning , and puzzling It
may sound t first to a tyro It only requires
about ten minutes' observation for the most
Ignorant onlooker to discover what a dancer
la uylnji through those delicate movements
that rlppto from her lips to her tiptoes.
It alio only requires a few moments for a
clever woman to prove to you without words
she Is dancing' the poem of "Fair Inez , "
and when a woman past middle life got up
to entertain her luncheon izucsts the other
day with a * dance , as she might have offered
to sins a sonu or play a sonata , not one of
them failed to sco that without a word the
whelp p ( Browning's "Evelyn Hope" had
been exquisitely repeated. 'Sho literally con.
uucrcd her audience and there were men
among mem. 'When the charming exhibition
was over and as thc"wximen crowded about
for explanations , she confessed she had
joined the class purely for the exercise and
as an , aid. to more graceful transportation
of her comfortable allowances of very solid
flesh.
The dancing did not take much of the flesh
away ; but * It Haa * taught her bow to carry It

this prolongation shall have been completed
the next work to bo undertaken will tie
the further prolongation of the trunk line
as far as Shlmonosckl , which , according to
the program , will be the terminus at ono
end as Kobe Is at the other.
On the completion of the above mentioned
two sections of the' Kans-il railway , Osaka
and Nagoya will be connected with * another
railway service , besides the facility now
afforded by the government. Tokuldo line.
Railway enterprise la also active In Kyuahu.
The Hayagl-Omura section and the Sascbo
branch of the Kyshu railway have been
virtually completed anl will be opened for
raffle at no distant date. The other sec-
Ions will bo completed by June next. The
ndustry at Hokkaido alsq claims our atten
tion. The work > there Is In greater part
official. The government railway construc-
lon In Hokkaido Is divided Into two periods.
To the first period of construction belongs
the line which Is to start from the Sora-
chlfu terminus of the Tanko railway and to
reach Asahlgawa via Kamlkawa. From Aea-
hlgawa ono route will BO southward to the
coast ot Kushiro , and thence along tbo coast
to Nemuro. The other route will divert
northward * from Asahlgawa and will reach
Soya by way ot Teahlwo. The total length
3. about COO miles. The Sorachlbuto-Asa-
hlgawa section , we understand , will be
opened for 'truffle by May next , most prob
ably. On the part of private railway en-
erprlso in Hokkaido , that of the Kan-Sou
Railway company Is * the' most Important.
The project Is to .connect Hakodate and
Oratu , a distance of 150 jmlles , at the esti
mated cost of 8,000,000 yen ( $3,9384,000) ) . The
work of construction will be completed In
about five years. At present' the Journey
between Otaru and Hakpdajev If made by
steamer , occupies twenty-four hours , whllo
if undertaken by tbo railway servlco now
available from Mororan , no Ices than , thirty-
six hours-aro necessary.-On the completion
ot the Kan-Sou .railway It will bo possible
to cover the distance In eight hours.

Stnnnlnir Pride and Raiment Chilled
by a VlHlon.
Cbolly waa the smartest youngster In the
office so far as clothes and gaudy convcrsa-
loa went , relates the Chicago Chronicle.
But somehow his salary never -rose to tbo
dizzy height ho thought It should attain.
The "bosses did not appreciate him. Ho
did a deal of telephoning In the course of
business , and after some months ot steady
hearing of it he began to distinguish a
certain bell-like voice among those of the
telephone girls. 'Ho ' was not old enough to
know that all voices sound bell-like over the
'phone to a young man of just over 21.
She know his voice , too , he found when ho
asked , and ho was tremendously pleased
with himself. It grew very slowly Into a
love affair that was the jokn of all the ex
changes , and Oholly spoiled many a high
collar sitting In the air-tight telephone booth
talking to Angel , die wanted her to allow
him to escort her home and he wanted to
take her to the theater , or the grand opera.
They had knono each other for 'five ' months
and ho thought that was equal to an Intro
duction. But eho did not. Angel was
coy and thought It nas unmaldenly to meet
young men on the street. Nor would she tell
him where she lived. 'But Cholly kept at it ,
and his admiration for the unseen grow side
by sldo with the apparently increasing dif
ficulties In tbo way of meeting her.
Patience tells in the long run , and Cholly
bud her promise that she would be in a
certain hotel parlor that evening in tlmVfor
the theater. < He w.ent home am } put on the
very best be had. When he stepped oft the
northslde cable cars he was a eight for
womeo.
iHo walked -with a noble carriage 4nto the
hotel parlor. She was to have a rose In her
hand , he had brought violets kt CO cents a
bunch to replace it. The only woman In .the
place was a rather ancient one In the corner
with her veil halt drawn over a peaked , old
maldlsh face. Cbolly eat down to wait for
Angel. The old woman coughed , not "with
the true cough , but with that peculiar cough
with the accent on the last syllable that
brings men's heads aibout. Cholly looked
over. " Heavens ! She had a rose In her hand.
Cholly got up and walked out to the bar.
Angel is itlll answering the call * of the

she calls on 'them ' to admit that though
Uncle Sam Is Ijlesscd la many ways he re
mains a laughing stock of the nations In hav
ing no strictly national dance , and their
eyes brighten charmingly when she explains
that'any woman who will learn to klaaco
properly la bound to become a figure of
sllmness and grace.
She -preaches the gospel ot the dance as A
necessity of'life and beauty , Hke food and
the bath exercise or 'hosplallty. Her project
s to renew the gracious Grecian days when
dancing was a precious accomplishment ,
prized as highly as pollto conversatlc-a and
wllshed manners are today. She Is going
o teach women to use their bodies as they
do their ey or their tongues ; to express
exquisite sentiments , noble Ideas and lofty
isplratlon. ( She proposes to render their
hubs so pliant , their gestures so expressive ,
their motions so intelligible , that at 60 a
woman will be as supple as at 16 , aad that
admiration will do arouaed Us much by her
manner of crossing a room , stepping Into a
carriage or plucking a rose as by rare loveli
ness ot face.
In short , she teaches her disciples to dance
philosophically , guarantees to make a shorter
or tall , Tat or bony , graceful or ungainly
girl a model of elegant propriety Jo action ,
tnd show them , one and all. how to gain
lealth as well as beauty In the process.
FOLLOWING THE COURSE.
Now , naturally , it has not required long
for so agreeable a creed to spread and gather
followers , and lessons In philosophical danc
ing are pleasant experiences. The pupil Is
prayed to lay asldo her heavily-boned atayn
for a light supporting waist , her feet are
put into eoft satin slippers with the most
clastic eoles and very flat heels , and her
gown can bo of any material she prefers ,
but draped after the Greek fashion , though
many of the dancers take to the short-walsted
empire etyle. The points of greatest moment -
mont are that the limbs shall bo free to
move easily , and the waist unconflned , and
then , 'when the harp strikes up a simple
melody , as , for example , "Bellevo mo , but
all these endearing young charms , " an illus
tration Is given of what tbo philosophy of
the dance really is i
Gliding to the center of the room , a promis
ing pupil. In a Josephine gown ot rose-col
ored guuza over a slip of yellow silk , begins
to tread a measure in accompaniment to
the music. She dances all alone , there Is a
knot ot pink roses in her hair , her arms
are glovelesa and are kept In motion with
the rcet ot her body In delicate gestures
to portray faint outline ot the meaning
of the Eong In one hand a rose is held ,
klseej , caressed , supported aloft In admiring
ecatacy. As the petals fall the smiling face
of the dancer Is sh/dowed with surprise ,
pain , grief , the light short step , full of Joy
and buoyancy , moderates , the arms fall , the
head droops , there are suggested motions of
dismay and dlcpulr , then the half-ruined
flower Is lifted , surveyed , clasped against
the heart , and In a measure euggestlvo of
content the movements cease.
This , however , is the eort of thing only
a well Instructed dancer can do. Beginners
are taken sternly in Jiand and taught to
gesticulate properly , to , bend from the walat ,
the true , appropriate posturee of the head ,
and to use their arms. One and all , they
are recommended to try < o remember and
imitate Calve , who dances with her arms In
Carmen , end tbo Instructress says that only
ono woman out ot fifty naturally uses her
arms with anything llko pleasing expression.
After putting the hdad , arms and hands
Into training , the Instructress takes the long-
tortured , squeezed and distorted feminine
waist throueh a severe course of sprouts ,
and she drills and redrllls her pupils In the
simple action ot Blackening their Joints.
When a woman baa been reduced to the ex
treme point of artistic collapse , that Is ,
when she can sit on a stool , clasp her hands
across her ankles and lay her head on her
knees without the least-effort , then , llko the
small girl who knowa her notes , her scales
and her chords , ihoile given a pleco to In
terpret. The piece is a bit of poetry , read
slowly to music , while the pupil dances her
Interpretation of It , or the pupil dancei
without words or music , having her auditors
to gather from her motions what her mean-
Irs li. Now , if the auditor * are the class
to which the woman belongs , they can
quickly catch at the motions iho is trying
to depict , for to them are quite comprehen
sible all the gesture * and steps that inter
pret the most important human sentiment * .
TRANSLATING THE DANCE.
In the research made by competent author
ities to discover wherein lay the philosophy
ot the dance , the waltz step has been found
to represent serene love since the time of
Herodotus ; the glide sldewlso from toot to
foot , even among the Corybantls , meant
"ecstatic hope , " the pirouette's true mean
ing la "crowned pleasure or ultimate Bills-
faction. " the skip stands for "Joyous confi
dence. " hasty advance on the toe * "love's
appeala tatty retreat on the toe * "love
rebuked , " a ilow retreat "love scorned. "

at Is to induce the Congregational churches
