HOW HE WAS CUBED.
"I nm a miserablo man," said Mr. Cy
rus MncMox gloomily, "and it ia best that
the woild should be rid of my presence.
No iino cares for mo. "
"Oil, don't say that, uncle, " said Lizzlo
Silver beseechingly. "You know I lovo
you. You aro the only friend I have in
the world, and if you were to die what
would becomo of mo?"
"I suppose young Guy Cheovers would
contolo you for my loss," said Mr. Mad
tlox grimly. "At any rate, I don't care.
I will end my troubles and sorrow to
morrow at 12 m."
With these feaiful words ho strode out
of tho room, leaving Lizzie sobbing.with
her curly black head resting on a dinner
plati'.
"What's the matter now, Bess? Has
the milliner disappointed you .in your
love of a bonuet?" asked a warm, hearty
-voice, which was tho property of "young
Quy Cheovers," n3 Mr. Maddox callod
him, no that gentleman strode into tha
room. "
"Oh, Guy!" sobbed Lizzie. "Uncle
Cynit, is going to die to-morrow at 13
o'clock.
"How do you know?"
"He said so. "
"H.it how iloea ho know?"
"IIu'.i ,;o':ny to U 11 himself."
"So as lo make himself a true prophet,
ch?" aiUed fitly, laushiug.
'Oil, Guy, don't joke!" cried Lizzie
tearfully. "Ho will I know ho will!"
'I doubt itl" said Guy skeptically.
"But he tried to commit suicide several
times," sho persisted fearfully. "Onco
he tried to smotlur himself with burn
ing charcoal, but 1 e forgot to stop up the
keyhole, and I smelt tho smoke and got
somo neighbors to break open the door:
ami saved him. Then ho tried to banc;
hitii'elf, but tho cord broke, and lie fired
pistol nt himself, but forgot to nut anv
ball in it, so that failed; and then "
"Gracious!" cried Guy, as Lizzlo
topped for want of breath: "what a de
termined limn he must be! Such perse
verance deserves to bo rewarded, Have
you any idea what plan he will try
now?"
"I'm sure I don't know," said Lizzie.
"But what does he want to make nwa v
with himself for?" asked Guv wonder-
Jngly.
"Why, he says ho is a miserablo man-
burden to every or.e, and that life has no
joys for him, and that ho is weary of this
world "
"And so would like to try tho next?"
said Guy. "Perhaps lie won't find it to
pleasant as the one lie is quitting. AVhat
an unreasonable man he must be! He is
rich, talented, healthy, and has a very
pretty neice" hero in u moment of ab
straction ho allowed his arm to wander
around Miss Silver's waist "and what
more can he want? But somo people
never' are satisfied. It seems lie is deter
mined to pry into futurity, and it seems
a pity to disappoint so laudable an am-
bitionj but duty duty to myself com
pels mo to interfere, I dislike any scan
dal or excitement. A coroners jury
would causo both: therefore, we must
balk his little game."
"But how?" asked Lizzlo curiously.
"A prudent general," said Guy haugh.
tily, "never confldc.3 his plans to his army.
particularly when the army is of femi
nino gender: so excuso me, mum's tho
word. But rest assured, my dearest
Elizabeth, that unless your worthy unclo
shunios off this mortal coil in a surrep
titious manner uerore ia o clock to-morrow
he will not do it afterward of course
I mean illegally. Farewell till to-morrow.
"
Having concluded this address Guy
strode off in a tragio manner, leaving
Lizzie greatly surprized, but still quito
reassured, for in her opinion what Guy
couldn't do wasn't worth doing.
The next morning Mr, Maddox mada
his appearanco, very saturnine and
gloomy, and ato his breakfast with a
mournful air that was terribly impres
sive. Having finished, ha then took leavo
of bis niece in a feeling manner,
I am about to leave you," said ho
mournfully. "I am about to end this
life of misery. I hope that you may be
happy."
J0h, don't go!" said Lizzie, tearfully
clinging to him, and looking into his faco
pleadingly.
"It's useless," said Mr. Maddox firmly,
My mind is fixed, and nothing you can
do can persuado mo to relinquish my
purpose. But you, my dear child, shall
uot be unprovided for, I Intend to make
my will in the few hours that are left me,

The last will and testament of Mr.
Cyrus Mnddox was evidently not a long
one, as it was finished in less than an
hour.
"Eleven o'clock," said Mr. Maddox,
and I havo finished. How slow the time
passes, to bo sure ! Now, what shall I
do until IS, for I am determined not to
die until noon "
A knook nt the door.
j "Oo away," cried Mr. Maddox an
grily; "you can't coma in I"
"I am very sorry to disagree with you,"
satu a voice outside, "but I can come in.
Itavo a duplicate koy here, and if you
don't open the door I will,"
Mr. Maddox roso and unlocked the
door savagely, and Mr. Guy Cheovers
stalked into tho room, carrying an oblong
box under his arm.
Ho placed the box on tho table and
then took a seat opposite Mr. Maddox
and stared blankly at him.
Wiiat do you want?" asked the latter
fiorcely. "Don't you seel am engaged?"
Oh, I know." said Gur. "what you
aro about to do! Don't think that I'm
going to intorfero not nt all. But be
fore you mako your quietus I wish to ask
you a few questions. Have you pro
vided for your nicco'3 welfare?"
"What's that to you?"
"Considerable. I am about to marrv
Miss Silver; so her interests are naturally
mine."
"Then she is provided for amply. "
"Thank you for the information. Very
glad to hear it. And now excuse tha
apparent impertinonce of the question,
but where is your will?"
"Here," replied Mr. Maddox. lavinir
his hand on it.
"Suppose you cive it to me to take care
of?"
" Gi vo it you 1 Why, pray ? "
"It might become misplaced," ex
plained Guy.
I ll keep It myself," said Sir. Maudox
in a rough tone.
"Then jU3t leavo a memorandum on
the tablo," said Guy earnestly, "to tell
where it is. It will save trouble, per
haps."
"Get out! cried Mr. Maddox angrily,
"Ah, I seel" Baid Mr. Cheovers coolly;
"in a hurry to begin. Well, I won't de
tain you; but I havo a little suggestion
to offer. "
"Well?" said Mr. Maddox impatiently.
"It is this," said Givy. "Miss Silver
informs me that you havo made nevral
previous eflorts to o it short your trouble
and your breath, and always uniucr ess
fully. Now it Beems to mo you d m't i;o
tho right way about it. This box" and
hero ho opened the box alludpd"to "o;i
tains several little plans that I think
might please you. Here's one," and ho
showed a little steel i iitrument.
"What's that?" asked Mr. Maddox.
"This," said Guy, "is an article that
you can place round your neck like a cot
lar, then, by striking your hand ou the
left side of your neck, a sharp spike is
driven into your jugular vein "
"But that would kill me!" said Mr.
Maddox, statins.
"Well, ain't that what you want?" de
manded Guy sternly. "Now, hero's
another, " he went on. "Here's a wheel,
you observe; you placo this band round
your neck, pass it round tho wheel, and
give it two or three turns then let go.
The recoil will twiBt your head almost
off your shoulders kill you to a cer
tainty."
Mr. Maddox stared at him with un
feigned horror.
"Then, " went on Guy coolly, "here'sa
little package, a tjrpodo. It contains
nitroglycerine You place it in youi
mouth, snap your toeth on it, and off
goes your head, smashed into millions of
atoms. "
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Mr. Mad
dox fearfully. "What a terrible idea."
"Not at all, s.vid Guy soothingly.
"Beautiful invention I quite prido my
self on it -scientl.lo suicide, you sesl
Any one can take poison, or blow his
brains out; but to do it scientifically re
quires real talent. You have it, and I
am confident you will reflect credit on
my inventive skill. Now if you could
uso all three of these inventions at onco
cut your jugular, garrote yourself, and
blow your head off all at once why, I'd
thank you.
"What! cried Mr. Maddox fiercely,
"do you think I'm crazy ? Do you think
I'm going to use any of your infernal in
ventions? Leave this room, you cold
blooded vilUtin, beiors l throw you out of
the windowj"
"But I have a great many more to
show you," remonstrated' Guy, "and you
see I want you to try as many as possible.
Well, well," ho added, as Mr. Maddox
grasped tho poker threateningly, "I'm
going. But I'll leave this box here, and
before you get nu or yourseir just make
a memorandum of what you will use and
leavo it on the table, because you know
there will probably be nothing left of you
to draw conclusions from, nnd so "
Horo any further speech was cut short
by Mr. Maddox seizing his visitor and
hustling him out into the passage.
"Well?" said Lizzie anxiously.
"I think its all right," said Guy, grin
ning. "Get tho luncheon ready. Your
unclo will bo down. "
And euro enough, so he was; and
though ho spoko uot, ho ato most vora
ciously of everything on the table.
"Lizzie," said ho suddenly, after an
hour's pause, "did you oversee an infer
nal old fool and nn idiot ?"
"Never that I know of," said Lizzie.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because just look at me and you'll see
one, " said Mr. Maddox grimly, and ho
stalked upstairs.
Up to the present time of writing Mr,
Cyrus Maddox is still nlive, enjoying re
markably good health, and he seems to
be ou friendly terms with Mr. Cheovers
and his wife Lizzie. He probably forgave
that gentleman on account of a discovery
that he made that tho nitroglycerine
torpedo contained nothing more danger
ous than salt and tho other " infernal in
ventions" were infernal in the samo
ratio; but Guy still maintains that when
persons are weary of life they should ena
their troubles by scleutifia suicide.

The second htnid book hom wviv tn- m
poriutns. Twenty years ago a ile.dor of
auy position retained a stnff of sermon
manufacturers. A subject was given or
a text selected and in from IS to 21 horns
the manuscript was ready for th" p aoh
ere. If hn was in want of an up to date
discourse, half a nui"- t' a guinea was
the cliHige. Or If n niniuihcript in btoek
suited tho purpose the price waa from a
half a crown to live shillings.
It was the practice in the forties lo
hcp a, supply on band. These were
pigeonholed in alphabetical order, afford
ing to theme or nccoidlng lo subject.
The pigeonhol" supply was common
property. Duplicates .wore more fre
quent tlinn now; many were well
thumbed, and invariably were dead men's
leaving, nurtt ijftn obtained for cash
down from executors or other ro preventa
tives ot ih-c'HHWd uli'ltlj 111" 11.
Even lo-i!oy the trnrle is bl ill ral l ied on
cither by ndvcitw'inent in the church
organs or in tho booksellers' catalogues.
Here are two offers from recent book
lists :

But tha latest phase in the science is to
build up sermons by mental absorption.
It is no rare occurrence, we are assured,
for a preacher to make it his daily task
to peruse a printed sermon by n suggest
ivo preacher, and in his own way from
tho pulpit to rub through the sieve
another thinker's bon mots. Sometimes
it is only the skeleton that is taken. At
others it is body and soul that is at
tacked. Another sermon monger is tho elegant
extract man. A lato well known and
appreciated London preacher of this order
was a vandal In suoh matters. Ho would
not take the troublo to Write out his ex
tracts. Ho would cut whole pages or
snippets out of his book and paste them
on his manuscript. When tha other day
his books came under tho hammer there
were great searchings of heart about their
imperfections.
l'rom inquiries it would appear that
tho Americans aro now tho largest con
sumers in tho sermon trade. They aro
buying up all the fine old divines and
shipping them largely to the most out of
tho way United States villages. The

The f yoball is covered by a network of
veins, ordinarily so small that they do
not intrude themselves visibly in the
path or the light that enters the sight,
but in the course of some diseases these
veins are frequently congested and
swollen to such sizo as to become visible,
nnd when this happens the effect gener
ally is to appear as if there were an ob
ject of considerable sizo at a distance
from the eye.
Of course this vein is generally long.
thin, and sinuous like a serpent, and tho
figure seen is frequently startlingly like
a snake. That they seem to live is due
to the rucfthat lli.y are often not in per

nnd thus a continuous and realistic mo-
turn is got. Now.it the eye bo returned
to the front again quickly it will see

Plato was called the "Athenian Bee"
on account of the sweetness and purity
of his s.tyle.
A bee in your bonnet" is a phrase
meant to imply that your lead swarms
with dreanlt theories. This connection
between befs and tho head is derived
from the belief of the tmcients, who
called the moon a bee, and tho word
lunatic or irjfecMtflick still means one
who hp bees in 1 js h$d.
Mahomet admitted bees to Paradise on
account of the belief that they were

Bee raisers have numerous proverbs re
garding bees which they regard with
veneration, suco as iqis:
"A irsrni of bees la May
is worth a lva of hy;
Butaswirmin July
Ijnjt worth iy."
An allusion to the custom of telling
the bees is found in histories and is one
of the traditions of tho riast which is so
remoto that, its origin can not be traced.
On the death of a member of the family
it was custoinary lo drape the hives with
mourning. If this was neglected it was
believed thSt the bees would leave tho
hives and seek new homes.
The custom is observed in rural New
England and many other parts of
America and is quite goneral in the old
world.
Our own Whittier has embodied the
quaint superstition in a beautiful poem :
"Before .them nnder the garden wall,

Draping each hire with a shred of black.
