ing which led to tho belief thnt there must
1)0 Homo vessel in tho tllstanco which was
discharging its guns ns signals of distress.
Tho authorities sent out boats to muko a
search. They presently returned, as no
ship could be found in wont of succor.
The reports wore sounds which luid oomo
all tho way from Kruknton. At Mncnssnr,
In Celebes, loud explosions attracted tho
notice of everybody. Two steamers wero
hastily sent out to find what wus tho mut

inero hundreds of miles will not suffice to
illustrate tho extraordinary distance to
which tho greatest nolso that over was

Luxury.
It is straugo thnt tho authors who hnve
written so much about luxury, whether
they praise it satirically, or condemn It
very seriously, or merely inquire Into its
history nnd traditions, should never hnve
been struck with tho amount of discom
fort it entails. In modern, as well us In
ancient times, the same zealous pursuit of
prodigality results In the samo heavy bur
den of undesirable possessions. Tho youth
ful daughter of Mario Antolnetto was ul
lowod, we are told, four pairs of shoos a

against the extravagances of tho Frenoh
court, has no word of sympathy to spare

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
The ftyatem Its f'omn to Stay, but It Is
Mill Crude.
An expert points out thnt while In the
rnrly days of electric lighting people
thought much Inoro of tho mere fact of
hnvlng thoelrctrlc light thnnof the actual
efficiency they derived from it, the consum
er of today Is usually perfectly well able
to tell Whet 1" ho 1m getting full value In
light for tho money he is paying the cen
tral station; so that between tho strict kjc
actlon of tho customer nnd the competi
tion of rival lighting systems nn electrin
light company can only hopo to succeed by
tho best possible service
Thn whole subject of lighting is in n
transition state. In factories and lnrgo
shops thn praetleoof allowing tho rays of
the am lamp to fall downward will proba
bly soon be discarded. It Is found that, by
Inverting tho lamp and throwing tho light
to tho roof, which should be whitewashed
or white) paintej, tho powerfully reflected
rays aro so different throughout thn build
ing as to give tho maximum olllc.icnoy
without straining tho cvv. of tho work
men. Much of tho present outdoor light
ing Is condemned ns crudo and unsolon
tiflo. Tho street nro lamps duzzlo and
strain tho eye, throw sharp shadows and
waste light. Tho next improvement will
probably bo tho ftso of lower candle power
lumps, plnced at shorter Intervals and
having reflecting hoods. Tho bottom hnlf
of tho glnlw will bo scmlopnquo and pos
sibly tinted a deep orungo color. This
would neutralize tho painful glaro of the
aro lamp nnd glvo tho streets tho effect ot
being Illuminated with Chtncso lanterns.
In domestic lighting shades having
prismatic corrugations on their surfaces
nro coming Into vogue. They glvo n good
diffusion of light, with but llttlo absorp
tion. An authority on decorative lighting
snysthat, although many new ideas have
sprung tip in the distribution of masses of
light in Interiors, none has yet superseded
In beauty nud effectiveness tbo system ol
putting lamps out of sight nnd lighting
tho room entirely by diffused nnd possibly
colored light. This will probably ho the
method of illuminating churches in ths
future. In churches whero It has already
been adoptod tho effect is doHorlbtul us so
Infinitely restful and appropriate that In

SHYLOCK PROPITIATED.
Itow Kdwln Ilootli's Cnmpnny fine Rrnlnd
"The merchant of Venice,'
Kdwln Booth told the following story:
Oneo during tho days of his early strug
gles, young Uooth was "barn storming"
down In Virginia, nt a placo called Leo's
Landing. Tho Improvised theater was n
tobneco wnrehouse, and It wns crowded by
tho planters for miles nround. Booth nnd
his companions lind arranged to take thn
weekly steamer expected lato that night,
and between tho acts wero busy packing
up. Tho play was "Tho Merchant of Ven
ice," and they were Just going on for th
trial soeno when they heard tho whistle,
and tho manager enme running In to sny
that tho steamer hnd arrived nnd would
lenvo again In hnlf nn hi.ur. As thnt wn
their only chance for a week of getting
away they wero In a terriblo quandary.
"If we explain matters," said tho man
agor, "tho audlenco will think they art
being cheated and wo shall have a fret
fight. The only thing Is for you fellows tc
got up somo sort of niituralllko impromptu
ending for tho piece and ring down the
ourtnin. Go right ahead, ladles and gen
tlemen, and tako your cuo from Ned hero."
And ho hurried awny to get the luggagt
aboard.
"Nod," of oourse, was Hooth, who re
solved to rely upon tho ignoranco of the
Virginians of thoso days to pull hliu
through. So when old George Huggles,
who was playing Shylock, began to sharp
en his knifo on his boot Booth walked
straight up to him and said solemnly,
"You aro bound to have the flesh, nreyouf"
"You bet your life," said Kuggles.
"Now, I'll mako you one moro offer,'
oontlnued Hooth. "In addition to thi
bag of ducats I'll throw iu two kegs of nig
gerheud terhac, n shotgun and a couple ol
tho best coon dogs In tho state."
"I'm blowed if I don't do It," responded
Shylock, much to tho approbat ion of the
audleuco, who wero tobucco rnisers and
coon hunters to a man. "And to show
thnt thero is no 111 feeling," put In Portia,
"wo'll wind up with a Virginia reel."
When tho compuny got nboard tho steam
cr, the captain, who had witnessed tin
conclusion of tho play, remarked: "I'd
llko to see tho whole of thut play soim
time, gentlemen. I'm blessed If I thought
that fellow Shakespeare had so much sua;

"My friend, do you want to muke a

"As to how?" ho replied.
"Tho artist hero wants to innko a sketch
of you. Sit still for ten minutes and I'll
give you a quurter."
"What do you tako me fur!" exclaimed
tho man as ho rose up. "D'you think be

"What's the matter with you? Wo sim

"I know It, and that's what I kick on.

TRUTHS IN ZADKIEL.
HIS LMANAS HAS MADE SOME STAR
TLING PREDICTIONS.
Superntltlmi and luck (lonn'p About Two
Things Villi li ( omer n I n .Vnra Than
We Aro WMUcft- to Admit nnd Which It
Isn't Always roMlhlo to Heanon About.
Thero Is now In England a publication
known as Kudklel's Almanac, that has
been for 40 yenrs a favorite In English
households of tho fairly intelligent class,
ns it Is too nbstruso for tho Ignornnt to
undentand. Not less than 800,000 copies
nro sold yearly, and this Is purely a history
of tho coming year, based on tho researches
of judicial astrology.
These calculations are mndo by means
ot the sun, moon and stars tho signs of
tho zodiac and tho various aspects and re
lations of the planets. In astrology na
tions, llko Individuals, aro subject to and
aro governed by tho planets. The greater
part of Kngtnnd lies under the cardinal
sign Aries, but Gemini rules tho went oi
Knglaml and tho United Stutes.
Some of Zadklel's predictions nro curi
ous enough to pur..lo Intelligent persons.
For Instance, in 1HS0 occurs this passage:
"Shocks of earthquakes In the seventy
seventh degToo of west longitude may be
looked for. Great thunderstorms and
Waves of intense beat will pass over the
States. Thero will bo great excitement in
America." In 188rt shock of enrthqunke
reached North nnd South Carolina on the
night of Aug. 81, between longitude 70
and 74 west, and tho heat wits intense,
mnny lives bflng lost.
In 1853 Zndklel put forth tho following
prediction as to the future of Iouis Nnpo
leon :
"Let him not dream of lasting honors,
power or prosperity. Ho shall found no
dynnsty, he shall wear no durable crown,
but lu tho midst of doeds of blood nnd
slaughter, with affrighted Europe trem
bling beneath tho weight of his during
martial hosts, he descend.-! beneath the
heavy hand of fato nnd falls to rise no
more."
It Is undoubtedly true that in three hor
oscopes taken by different men entirely
Independent of each other a bloody ending
was predicted for tho emperor, hut only
Zadklcl foretold tho extinction of the dy
nasty. In tho horoscope of Lincoln nnd Garfield
the malllle planets Mars nnd Saturn ruled
their house of life. When their end enme,
und In a marked degree the history and
career of the Bourbon family corresponded
with tho state of tho heavens at their
bin lis, according to tho theories of astrol
ogy. A belief thnt human events are affected
by tho stars was accepted by mnny of tho
ablest miud. Wallensteln died at tho very
moment when ho thought tho danger past.
He hud the astrologer's reading of tho stars
in his hand us he was struck down.
Goethe begins his autobiography with
his "Nativity."
"On thegmhof August, 1740, at mid
day us tho clock struck 13, I camo into tho
world at Fraukfort-ou-tho-Maiu. My hor
oscope was propitious. Tho sun stood in
tho signs of tho Virgin and hnd culminat
ed for the day. Jupiter and Venus looked
on him with a friendly eye, And Mercury
not adversely, while Saturn and Mars kept
themselves Indifferent. Tho moon ulouo,
Just full, exerted tho power of her reflec
tion all the more, as slip had then reached
her planetary hour, who opposed herself
therefore to my birth, which could not bo
accomplished until tho hour was passed.
Theso gotid aspects, which the astrologer
managed subsequently to reckon very nu
spiclous for mo, may hnvo been tho cnusa
of my preservation, for through the un
kindness of the midwife I camo into the
world ns dead, and only after vurious efforts
was I enabled to see the light."
But this, of course, is dry humor.
In ull horoscopes the happy lifo and for
tuno of tho subject depends mainly on tho
friendly aspects of Venus nnd Jupiter,
while tho signs of tho Kodluo give strength
und disposition.
Tho writer enu recall hero in this city a
remarkable case in which tho nativity of
two people was taken and tho curious re
sult thut followed. About 1HU8 a man
named HAguo practiced astrology in this
city. Ho wns a man of learning and much
respected, having many distinguished peo
ple for his patrons. He made tho nativity
for two infants, cousins, nnd although the
tlmo of tholr birth varlod only olght hours
their destinies wero widely divided. One
promised to Imii favorite of fortune, the
other's fato wns marked by trouble, ap
parently coming about his majority. One
prospered us soon ns ho entered life; tha
other was wild and reckless, went to Cali
fornia and fell in a brawl lu his twenty
second year, but ho was, curiously enough,
tho ouo on whoso birth fortune was pre
sumed to shine, and his cousin falsillod
his sinister predictions by prospering be
yond tho usual lot of man.
Thero Is scarcely an Intelligent human
being who does not recognize tho element
called "luck" lu shaping our destinies.
Thero is u family In Philadelphia thut
has boon rich etuco 1S10, and tho third
generation Is now bnsklng in luxuries
won for them by a "fluke" as pronounced
as winning in tho lottery. There was n
firm hero of three partners, doing a huge
western buslines. Two of them were ex
cellent business men, tho other a mom
dead weight, and his partners resolved to
get rid of him. So thoy dissolved tho firm,
and taking tho cash and bills receivable
made him take his share in 100 acres of
laud lu tho northern part of tho town site
of Cincinnati. Ho kicked, hut was bullied
Into compliunco. So they made a new
partnership, wont on getting richer and
richer, while the other partner wus mak
ing a poor living trucking on his city
land. Then times changed. Lots in Cin
cinnati began to sell; the rich partners
failed and died poor, while their victim
grew Into a millionaire. No forethought
or sagacity oould have under tho circum
stances bmaght about such a result.

WHAT WOMEN SHOULD KNOW.
Every women ought to know that
there is an institution in this country
where diseases peculiar to their sex
have, for ne.irly thirty years, been
made a specialty by several of the
physicians tonnecteil therewith. This
institution i the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at P.uffalo, N. Y.
In treating thousands of cases at that
famous sanitarium, there have been
perfected medicines which form a
regular, scientific course of treatment
for these ptevalent and most distress
ing ailments.
Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled
specialists, forming the faculty of the
above institution, are at all times
ready to reply to letters from women
suffering from obstinate, complicated,
or long neglected diseases and " weak
nesses," and can . be addressed, or
consulted at the institution, free of
charge.
When Dr. Pierce published the first
edition of his work, The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, he
announced that after 680,000 copies
had been sold at the regular price,
$1.50 per copy, the profit on which
would repay him for the great amount
of labor and money expended in pro
ducing it, he would distribute the
next half million free. As this num
ber of copies has already been sold,
