THE LONG AGO.
TIs plnlnttre and low
Of tho lone atpi
The music that stirs
In the heart of the firs.
With the murmuring strain
From the heaven of pain,
TIs tho breath borne In
From tho bliss that has been.
There's a day of light
And a day of night;
At set of the sun
Is a day begun.
The milder day
Of the far away
Lore's softer dawn
Of the lost, the gone.

BADGER'S PICTURE.
Do yon remember Badger's big picture
of
'A Nihilist Conspiracy" In the 1880
academy? It was one of the pictures of
the year. Dy gad, sir, that waa a pic

Nihilist Conspiracy." Then came the
order for the "Conversazione atJBnrling
ton House," and then, of course, his for
tune was made, and Badger became an
A. R. A. Badger, A. B. A., cuts me
now. I used to know mm very well;
we were both members of tho Goose
club. Of course that isn't the right
name of our club the real name Is the
Swan but we aro always called the
Goose club, you know, and there aro all
sorts of mysterious reasons alleged for It.
Splitter, who is n professional wit, and
earns a very precarious living by It, ana
Is not a member of the Goose club I
mean the Swan declares that it's be
cause all our members who are dramatists
invariably get tho goose; that, in the
vile, common slang of the stage, means
that their productions are always hissed,
I have been told to my face, air, by that
beast Urinner, also a professional wit'
ling, and whom we decline to elect to tho
Goose club I mean the Swan because
he wasn't qualified, for we are all sikhv
taneous wits at our dear old place that
it's because all our geese are swans, and
we swans aro all geese. I know the real
reason, and I've got it down In my re

But to come back to Badgers magnum
opus. I gave him the tip I mean the
valuable hint; 1 in always giving people
good advice, and they're seldom, very
seldom, grateful for it.
'Why don't you do n nihilist plcturer
said I to Badger one day; "everybody's
mad on nihilism just now. You've only
got to read up Stepniak and make your
nihilists ugly enough, and its bound to
be a big thing." And then I stroked my
long crny beard (my beard is my great
feature, you know). I've got a rather
low forehead, but then the ancients ad

"You'd make a capital nihilist," said
Badger.

and I saw that the young fellow was
sorry for bis impertinence. And then
the matter dropped.
Tho next thing 1 heard was that Bad
ger was going to immortalize the Goose
club that ho had determined to paint a
picture of the thirty most celebrated
members. Badger became suddenly pop
ular.
"Dear old man," he sold to me, "I
want yon to sit.
X was delighted. X only sat for the
face, you know, and I was in the very
center of tho picture. Badger selected
twenty-nino other victims. The like
nesses were wonderful, Tho member
actually fought for the honor of sitting
to Badger, and then he shut himself np
in his studio, and denied himself to
everybody on the pretense of pntting in
the figures. There wasn't one of us who
had the least doabt that the great plo-
turo ot tne uooso club would become as
celebrated as Torburg's masterpiece.
The Congress of Munster." Wo felt-
by wo I mean the happy thirty that wi
wero already Immortal; wo felt that
Badger would hand us down to posterity
as representative lights of literature.
science nnd art. We d have done any
thing for Badger at that time. We I
and the other twenty-nino immortals
were continually calling on Badger; but
we never could get a sight ot of tne pic
ture; lie was invariably not at home.
And then a dreadful rumor ran about
theGooso clnb.
Pucwash, the sculptor, came back
from St. Petersburg, where he had been
executing n commission, and be told us
that Badger hod painted ono of us out
and had painted him in. We I mean
the original thirty endured wocks of
agony till the academy private view.
We couldn't get anything oat of XTig-
wash; he declared that he was sworn to
secrecy; he oven pretended that he didn't
really know which of us was the well,
Perl at tho gate for he swore that the
picture was covered up mysteriously
with clothes, merely leaving an opening
iu which his head was inserted. How
we all envied Pugwasht He, at least,
was certain of Immortality.
But I was determined to ascertain the
truth at once. Directly the hanging
committee at Burlington House com
menced its labors, I called on every
academician and associate I knew. They
none ot them could tell me anything
about me uooso ciao picture, ion see,
In the ordinary course of things, Badger
would have exhibited bis great picture
on Show Sunday, a month before the
opening or tne academy. 119 didn't, cur;
our agony was prolonged until the very
lost moment.
I was there by there, I mean at Bur
lington house tho Instant the doors
opened for the private view, I had a
ticket, you know, of course I always
have. I almost suatcbed the gratuitous

I What could It mean? The treat Gooso
clnb picture had, then, been rcfusedl
Ah, met the disappointment was too
cruel!
I could have shed tears, but tho agony
I felt at that moment was nothing to
what was to follow. I flung myself
down on one ot the big settees and tried
to compose my feelings. As I did so Mr.
Ahttopliel, the picture dealer, catalogue
In hand, passed mo and gavo n friendly
nod tho Impudent beggar. I use the
word beggar in Us figurative sense, for
Mr. Ahltophel Is, as you know, disgust
ingly rich. And then twenty-eight of
lny intimate acquaintances slowly passed
me, ono by one. Each ot thorn looked
as it ho was attending his own funeral.
Poor fellows, how I sympathized with
them. Suddenly I received a tremen
dous slap on tho back. It was Pugwash,
the sculptor. It wasn t a well chosen
moment for slapping me on the back. I
turned gloomily toward him; my heart
was too full for words.
"What's the matter, old man?" sold
Pngwash the sculptor airily. "Have
you had your pockot picked?"
"It 11 be an awful blow for Badger,"
said I in a voice that might have touched
the heart of a stone. "It's a fearfnl dis
appointment to us."
"Don t be a fool, said Pngwash, drag
ging mo to my feet. "Let's come and
have a look at it."
I followed him into room 0. It was
there, sir, and in front of it stood Mr.
Ahitophel smiling blandly, and twenty
eight of my intimate acquaintances,
each with a face a yard and a half long.
I needn't describe the picture, it's too
well known. I was the central figure. I
have nothing to complain of as to the
likeness. Tho likeness was perfect.
Upon that dreadful canvas, sir, tho fire
of genius sparkled from my eyes, but I
was dressed in a sheepskin coat, sir, and
a muddy pair of butcher boots, in my
hand I held an infernal machine, the
properties of which I was apparently ex
plaining to my twenty-nine follow con
spirators. There was a small petroleum
lamp on a little tablo In the center of the
picture, which lighted up the faces of
the conspirators with a sort of devilish
rembrandtcsque glare.
'Ihey all wore muddy boots andsheen-
smn coats.
"Ain't it splendid, dear boys?" sold
Mr. Ahltophel, with a sort of cljcular
comprcucnsivo winic mat iook us an in
at once.
None of us answered him.
"Well, anyhow," continued Ahltophel,
"I'vo bought it, nnd I paid him four fig
ures for It. And youH find pate de foio

avenue at 2 sharp; and I shall bo de

mono or us went to Mr. Ahltophel s
lunch none of us; we were too deeply
grieved. None of us, I mean, except
Pugwash; and he's a fellow who would
lunch with the king of the Cannibal
Islands if there was plenty of ehampagne.
I gave him the idea," shouted Pug
wash triumphantly. "The accessories
aro delightfully correct. I brought "em
from Kussia myself."
Our twenty-nino hearts were too full
for words.
It's tho picture of the year," said Mr.
Ahitophel triumphantly.
And it was.
Just then Badger suddenly appeared.
Of course we had to congratulate him.
I'm afraid wo did it in a rather halt
hearted way.
Its a capital joke, isn t ur said
Badger.
And then we nil laughed a loud, hol
low, unmeaning cachlnnatlon. It was
the laugh of a chorus of Adelphi guests.
" ou saved me pots of money in mod
els, dear boys," said Badger. "Accept
my grateful thanks;" and then he sol
emnly shook hands with ns all, one after
the other.

Cyclone and Tornado.
A cyclone, properly speaking. Is a
storm covering a vast extent of country
some are one or two thousand mlie3 in
diameter and having a system of 'wlnas
which really blow spirally round! and
gradually in toward tho center otthe
storm, nlthough, owing to the great ex
tent of the storm, the wind at any par
ticular place seems to be blowing straight
ahead.
Near and around the center, and espe
cially ahead of it, for the whole storm
advances generally toward the east;,or
northeast, rain falls In greater or less
quantities. At the center the air is
lightest, or the pressure shown by the
barometer is least, and that Is the rea
son the winds are all drawn In that di
rection. The spiral motion arisesTrpm
the effects ot the rotation of the earth.
Almost every storm that we have.fex-
cept snmmer thunder showers, is a cy
clonic storm.
A tornado is a fierce whirlwind whose
path is generally only a few rods wide,
although it may travel for many miles,
destroying everything in its way. A
black, funnel shaped cloud Is always a
feuture of the tornado. This funnel as
formed by condensed vapor and clouds

When Animals Are "Charmed."
Kalm mentions having seen a rattle
snake "lying at the bottom of a tree on
which a squirrel was seated, fixing Its
eyes on the little animal, which from
that moment cannot move or escape, but
begins a doleful outcry, comes toward
tho snake, runs a little bit away, comes
nearer, and finally Is swallowed." But.
as if to show that this result of bewil
derment is not oil to be put down to
tne eye alone, Mr. Andrew Smith says:
"I have heard of cases In which ante
lopes and other quadrupeds have been
so bewildered by the sudden appearance
of crocodiles, by the grimaces and con
tortions they practiced, aa to be unable
to fly or move from the spot toward
which the crocodiles were approaching
to seize tnem,"
This power is in the human animal

Why a Mosquito lilt. Ilnrts.
Humboldt, who was a firm believer in
the poisonous nature ot the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out ot the
poison to be the explanation of the pain
lessness of some wounds. He affirmed
that if the insect were allowed to suck
to satiety no swelling took place, and
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced It resulted
from tho bosty interruption ot the proo-
essof sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not bo able to be
withdrawn, tie experimented with one

FEASTING IN HAWAII.
Abundant Food Prepared In a Novel
Manner for One Thousand Onests.
The following extr.it t from a private
letter written from II,..io'mlu by Dr.
George P. Andn outlines a novel
feast!
Wo have been having a festival week,
tho semi centenui.il of Dahu college. A
number of alumni cjmo homo from tho
states, among ofers Oenersi fl. C. Arm
strong, of Hampton, Va., and he gave
ns some grand talks on his work in the
great school there. Ilev. William Ou-
lick and wife also are hero from they
twenty years' work In Spain. The great
feast was a novel Bight. An nwnlng ot
sails covered in a epaoe about 60 by 100
feet, under which were laid tables, and
the viands, cooked a la Hawaii, were
laid on them. As provision was made
for a thousand people" an nccount of the
cooking may be of interest.
There were provided rorty-nve hall
grown pigs, two beeves, 125 chickens,
several hundred fish, bushels of sweet
potatoes, etc. The larger pigs were cut
Into fragments and tied In bundles of
banana nnd drachma leaves of a pound
or two weight each. The beef was
served in tho same way, also the chick
ens. Tho smaller pigs were wrapped
whole In tho leaves. Preparations for
the cooking wero made the day before.
Four holes were dug, ono 10 'ty 4 feet,
one 6 by 4 feet and the others about
three feet wide and two feet deep. A
quantity of wood was placed in the
grotto nnd npon this were placed large
stones a foot deep.
Ono fire was lighted early In the morn
ing of tho day before and the second
about 1 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the wood

mass ot red hot stones. Upon these were
spread n layer of crushed fresh banana
stems six inches thick, and upon these
were plied the small bnndles of meat two
or three feet high and the size of tho
hole. Over them was placed a mass of
fresh banana leaves several inches thick,
over this matting, and then dirt a foot
thick and the imu was finished and left
to steam until the next morning.
At o in tho evening the big one was
similarly filled witli the remainder of the
meat nnd the trussed pigs, and also cov
ered. One can imagine what a delight
ful heat wonld be brought to bear upon
tho contents ot the imu, and how deli
cately the contents would be cooked dur
ing the long hours of the night.
Larly in the morning of the feast day
the two small imns were filled with the
fish tied up ift leaves and sweet potatoes
and covered. The large ovens covered
tho day before were opened during tho
morning and the contents taken out and
covered to keep hot.

eMaternal Love of the Whale.
No other member ot tho onlmal king
dom displays moro maternal affection
than the whale, especially If its calf Is
harpooned. The harpooner never throws
his harpoon into the little one wltb, the
Intention of killing it, for if this Is done
the mother will instantly forsake it. If

can be easily enticed toward the boat -to
meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale
fishermen always strike a calf if possi
ble, and thus often make captures that
could not be effected under otber cir
cuius tanoes.
As soon as the dam becomes awaro of
the snaring ot her young sbe rushes to
ward it, encourages it to swim away,
and even assists by taking It under her
fin. She seems to lose all regard for her
own safety, and boldly attacks the boat
containing tho whalemen, or circles
about it totally regardless ot the har
poons that are hurled at her and enter
her flwh. Detroit.Frce Press.
South American Love Making.
All the love making in South America
must be carried ou through a third per
son. If a youth desires to marry bo
does not .peak ot it to the girl whom ho
wishes for a wife, but to Ids own father
The latter, if be approve, goes to the
father of thn young lady and the two
discuss the matter together. Each tells
the otntr what he will do ror the young
folks, and between them a contract Is
drawn up retpecting settlements and all
such things.
The intending bridegroom is not per
mitted tote, his fiancee for a moment
before tho wedding. At toon at that
event bat taken plan) there It a wedding
breakfast, and usually without the for
mality ot a preliminary tour, tho couple
aottlo down to 11 ring, either In an es
tablltlimMit of their own or more often
In the ItoiiM of th parents of the trifle
or lb groom.
One drawback about marriage ut
South America It that tn taking a girl
to wife it it apt to be considered a mat
ter of oonrte that the young man mar
rice Iter whole family also. He has no
oocadon for surprise or dlagruntlemeni
If, together with hit bride, fifteen or
twenty people come to share his house

all her available relative and tbelr serv
ants.
These Latins are a very clannish, race,
and a father It apt to be willing tu adopt
a raft of titter, and oousdnt and aunts,
not to mention a inother-ln law, rather
than have hit ton or daughter leave tho
family roof. It it doe to the strength
of family attaohmnt among them that
hotels lu South America are only f r
strangers from afar; the natives always
find hospitable entertainment among the
