8EARCHINQ AFTR TRUTH. The Iteallsatlen XTmi In IVetrd Dleeord to the Anticipation. "Truth lies at the bottom of a well," 10 the peoplo of the world told her. She waa young and fair) and eh searched for Troth, but her frequent visits to the well brought no discovery! only the reflection of her beautiful face In the wnter. One night a knock came at her door, and she sprang np and opened It There on the threshold stood a bundle of rags, which moved as If breathing. Ehe shnddercd as she asked, "Who are j-ooT' Then came the answer: "I am Truth." "I would see your face," she cried. "Nay, Innocent one, my face is not fair to look upon, but I am Truth." The cold wind was blowing and cry ing, and she closed the door. .TheTrnth ehoBoushtw&s pure and beautiful, not loathsome, and with the conviction of youth she was satisfied with herself for having refused this grewsome thine ad mittance. From that day, However, strange visitors knocked at her door, and each called himself Truth. First camo a gay party of dancers, whoso graceful figures swaying to and fro captivated her fancy: their musical voices held her as in their thrall Their visit was like a delightful dream, and she asked, "Pray tell me who you aror And they answered, "We are Truth." Bo ehe believed for days: tnen sue reai lied her mistake, and that they were not Truth, but pleasure. Again she went to the well, but there found noth inc. Adaydawnedbrlghtly.and there came another knock. On her threshold stood a lovely child. Its hair was garlanded with flowers. and Its earb was spotless white. When it entered, it was as It a portion of the pure light of the sun had stolen into tho room. The child's arras were soon intwlned abont the neck of the seeker after Truth, The odor of tho blossoms intoxicated her; her heart beat with wild delight; a tender kiss was stamped on ner brow, and with a gentle whisper, "I am Truth," the child was gone, and at her feet buds blossomed tne room was ugnt' er than It had been for years. The memory of that vision remained with her a long time, but at last it fled, and then she knew it was Love, not Truth. Again she went to the well, yet found nothintr. Years after another knock came. Her heart beat fast as the figure of a man en' tered. His manner was flattering and full of grace his face seemed honest. She had never felt the influence of oth er visitors exerted over her with the pow er of this one. She dared not ask his name, but as he left he said, pressing her hand, "I am Truth." For years she believed it; then came doubt, and she saw what had been her ideal of Trntn was only Policy. The next visitor was a long bearded, bent old man, whose face was farrowed and whose bands were palsied. From his feeble 11ns camo the words. "I am Truth." His stay was short, bat ehe remembered that visitor, and oft when the days were drear she saw be fore her the trembling bands, the thin, snow white locks, the bent form and the quivering lips, and she believed Bhe had found Truth. But she was growing older now, and something told her that Sorrow was not Truth. Then she went to the well, and it was dry. But there, far down in its depths, she saw a toad. "Whoareyou?' she cried, and a Hollow voice replied, "I am Tradition." So she turned her face toward home and knew that the whole world lied and was deceived. That same night came a knock at her door, btio rose slowly ana opened It, There stood the strangecreaturo covered with rags her first visitor. "What would yon? Who are you?" Then came the answer, "I am' Truth." "I would see your face," she mur mured. "Nay, experienced one, my face is not fair to see, but I am Truth." "Yet would I see it," she made an swer, "for well know I now that Truth la not what we would have itK nor is it lair. Then the figure threw of! its rag cov ering, and berore her stood a skeloton.

Peacocks' feathers have been handed down to us from the ancient days of mythology as emblematical of treachery, evil and misfortune. The origin of this strange superstition is founded upon the following classical story: Osiris, king of Egypt, upon starting on his Indian ex pedition, left his queen, Isis, regent, with Argus, his minister, ns tier cnier adviser, Argus, with his hundred eyes, or rather his spies, soon made himself so formi dable and powerful that he seized the queen regent, shut her up in a strong castle and proclaimed himself king of Egypt. Mercury was sent against him with a strong army, took him captiva aud cut off his- head, whereupon Juno metamorphosed him into a peaeook and set his spies in his tall. From this legend and the various additions made to It from time to time the belief has arisen that It Is unlucky to Live peacocks' featl in.r.l. - i... "T, 1.1 i . A Substitute Watch Crystal.

One of the best known of. the sea birds is the stormy petrel, It Is Of tenest teen during storms, flying above the wavea In search of the shellfish and other small animals that are brought to the surface by the tempest. The sailors call petrels "Mother Carey's chickens" and do not view tnem with mncn ravor, owing to their being constant compan ions ot storms. Jack thinks that rough weather may be expected when he sees petrels about and Is not quite sure that they do not in some way cause tne tem pest. When the bird Is on the outlook for its prey, It seems to .walk on the water. Hence the seamen Of olden time, In allusion to the apostle Peter's walking on the water, called the bird petrel, from the Latin Petrellns, "Little Peter." So far from the sailor's being supersti tious as to the capture of another kind of petrel the Capo pigeon which is of a black and white color and about the size of a tame pigeon, I have known Jack to take a band occasionally in capturing them as a bit of recreation during a dog watch. In southern latitudes the Cape pigeons follow a ship In thousands. The method of catching them Is peculiar. A common bottle cork Is tied to the end of lontr nleco of thread and trailed aBtern so that the cork touches the water. This gives the required tautness to the thread. As the birds fly in clouds from side to side astern some ot them constantly strike the thread with their wings, and the resistance is enough to turn them over it, when the thread Is wrapped round the wing and the bird la hauled on board. In this manner I have seen hundreds caught In a day. On one occasion a clipper ship, carry ing passengers to India, captured pigeons by hundreds, and the surgeon by some mischance succeeded In entangling a stormv Detrel, Now the doctor was an entnnsiasuo 'n.tnMltdl a,t wtmf in th aflllnra fa known as a "landlubber" that la, he was on his first voyage. The doctor at once took the specimen to his cab!i and made m-enaratlons to skin and preserve it. it hot haste a deputation or. seamen, headed by the old gray haired satlmaker, come aft with a request that thepetrel beset at liberty, saying that otherwise the ship and all on board would surely sutler. Tho doctor, somewhat surprised, in tended to set the bird free, but his en thnsissm as a naturalist prevailed over the superstitious warning, and wben the sailors had disappeared the bird was add ed to his collection. The fact soon be came known forward among the men, and the doctor was regarded with black looks by the crew for the remainder of the voyage. In the course of time the good ship anchored In the Hugli river, and that day at dinner the doctor suddenly died. There was a gathering of the sailors around the windlass that dogwatch, and the doctor's sudden death was attributed bythesuperstitlous sailors to bis slaugh ter Of the stormy petrel. St. Htchoias. A New Wrinkle.. "Please, air, will you give tne 8 cents?' "Give you 5 cents!" echoed the young man In surprise, for his applicant was a pretty, refined looking little girl of about 10 summers, whose clothing looked as thongh she were a child of fortune, not of want. "Yes, sir. I want it to pay my car fare with. I lost tho nickel mamma gave me." Of course the young man gladly gave the girl the desired 5 cents, and she fairly beamed npon him. The incident happened at Broad and Chest nut street. Not long after the young man was waiting for 'a car on Walnut street, and it so happened that he was thinking, ot the pretty face of the child. "Well, mused he to himself, "I'm glad I happened to be .there In time. Some parents are awfnlly .careless of their children, though, ihlnk of the little thing having to ask for money. It's a shamel" There came a slight pull at his coat sleeve. Then a sweet, weak Voice that seemed familiar sold, "Please, Bir, will you give me S cents" The young man turned as If stung, lie coald hardly believe bis own eyes. "You see, sir" beganjhe sweet voice again. Yes, I know all about it. xou lost the money your mother gave you for car fare." It never phased the little one. She smiled divinely and answered, "Yes, how did you guess It?" But the young man liad caught a passing car, and the look on his face set several of the passengers wondering. Philadelphia Press. A Homemade Barometer. A simple barometer can lie made by filling a common, wide mouthed pickle bottle within three inches of the top with water. An ordinary F16rence oil flask should be washed thoroughly and stripped ot Its straw covering. This should be inverted and its neck plunged as far as It will go in the pickle bottle. This gives a complete barome ter.

The Farmer Tried to Stop Ills Crowing, hut It Didn't Work. When Charlie Trifles went out Into the country for his health, he put up at Farmer DUcry Uranberrytnarsh s place. Fanner Elleiy was something of a poul try fancier and had one of those big, melodious, gamy cockerels of Buff Co chin extraction, with n voico that was a cross between the blowing of a geyser and the sound of a three tlncd whistle on boiler factory. About 8 o'clock every morning the rooster would nrlse on his perch, and standing on his tiptoes make all tho hens sick by letting go his voice like the sound of many waters. It also broke up Charlie Trifles slum bers, and ho was unable to woo them back by cigarettes or philosophy. He made considerable complaint to Uncle Ellerv. nnd tho old gentleman hunted over his poultrybook nnd read as fol lows: "Thero Is ono simple device by which a rooster can be reduced to complete and acceptable silence. Tho bird can not crow unless ho is able to stand erect and raise his head to the fnllest extent. Now if a plank, or oven o lath, be placed above his perch so that he cannot gain an upright position, ho cannot possibly lift up his voice. Here was the solution, nnd Uncle El lerv arranged laths above nil the perches. In tho early dawn before milking time Uncle Ellery crept out to the hennery to see how tho device worked. The cock had just awakened nnd was trying to get up to turn his lungs loose in his usual mat utinal vociferation, but he was unable to raise his head. A hen opened one eye, and seeing his dilemma smiled and dropped oil to sleep again. Uncle El lery chnckled. But the rooster was not to be foiled. Recognizing his dilemma, he dropped oil the porch to the floor, got a good grip on an adjacent crack In thu boards so as to take up the recoil of the crow, raised himself up on tiptoe and let out his lungs in a way that pulled Charlie Times out of bed una drove him to cigarettes. Then after a satisfied "cut, cut, cor- r-r-r-r," tho rooster kicked a hen or two oil tho roost and dropped oil Into a. con tented slumber. Minneapolis Journal. An Kitcape In the Sky Once in awhilo a meteor plunging In to the atmosphere of the earth Is neither consumed by the heat developed through friction nor precipitated upon the surface of the globe, but pursues its way out Into open space again. Its brief career within hnman ken may bo compared to that of a comet travelin; in aparabolio orbit, which, as If yielding to a headlong curiosity, almost plunges into the sun and then hastens away again, never to return. In July, 1892, one of these escaping meteors was seen in Austria and Italy, Careful computations based upon tho observations which wero made in vari ous places have shown that it was visi ble along a track in the upper air about 030 miles in length. When at its nearest point to the earth, it was elevated 4? miles above the surface. From this point it receded from the earth, Its elevation when lost seen being no less than 03 miles. Although the resistance of the atmos phere was not sufficient to destroy the motion of this strange visitor, which con tented itself with so brief a glimpse of our globe, yet It carried tho effects of that resistance out into space with It and can never shako them off. No matter what its previous course may have been, the retardation that it Buffered during its passage througb,the air sufficed to turn it into a different di rection and to send it along another path than that which It had been follow ing, Youth's Companion.

THE INTERBTEtXAJT ETH0R. Ethereal Waves Whlrh Affect the Eye and the rhutoxraphle rlate. Oureyetloea not net bydetectingheats In other words, It Is not affected by the whole range of ethereal quiverings, but only by a very minuto and apparently insignificant portion. It wholly ignores tho ether waves whoso frequency is com parable with that ot sound, and for SO or 40 octaves above this nothing about us responds; but high up in n range of vi bration of the Inconceivably high pitch of four to seven hundred million per second a range which extremely few accessible bodies nro able to emit, and which It requires some knowledge and skill artificially to produce to thoso waves the eye is acutely, surpassingly and most Intelligently sensitive. This little fragment ot total radiation is In Itself trival and negligible. Were It not for men and glowworms and a few other forms of llfo, hardly any of it would ever occur on such a moderate sized lump of matter ns the earth. Ex cept for an occasional volcano or a flash of lightning, only gigantic bodies like tho sun nnd stars have energy enough to prodnce these higher fluteliko notes, and they do it by sheer main force nnd vio lencethe violence of their gravitatlvo energy producing not only these, bnt every other kind of radiation also, Glow worms, eo far ns I know, alone have learned the secret of emitting the phys iologically useful waves, and none other. Why these waves are physiologically useful, why they are what Is called "light," while -other kinds of radiation are "dark," are questions to be asked, but at present only tentatively answered. The answer must ultimately bo given by the physiologist, for the distinction be tween light nnd nonlight can only be stated in terms of tho eyo and Its pecul iar specialized sensitiveness, but a hint may bo given him by the physicist. The ethcral wnves which affect the eye and the photographic' plate are of a size not wholly incomparable with that of atoms of matter. When n physical phenomenon is concerned with the ulti mate atoms of matter, it is relegated at present to the vaguer group of knowl edge summarized under the head of chemistry, Sight is probnbly a chemical sense In the retina may be complex aggregations of atomi, shaken asunder by the incident light vibrations, and rapidly built up again by the living tis sues in which they lire, the nervo endings meanwhile appreciating them in their temporarily dissociated condition a vngne speculation, not to be further countenanced except ns a working hy pothesis lending to examination of fact, but nevertheless the direction 111 which the thoughts of snmo physicists are tending ailirettioii toward which many recently discovered experimental facts point.

The lecturer admitted that his knowledge came entirely from hearsay. He had never been in ono and had never known a diplomat who hud. Ho pronounced the institution not nliop'tner unattractive. Turkish women arc not secluded In the harem as in n prison. They are abso lute mistresses of that bide of the house and free to exorciso their rights indis putably. A Turkit-.i hnsbind would not dare to enter his wife's apartments when it Is not her pleasure that he should, nnd she has only to place her slippers outside the door to indicate such desire for se clusion. In many ways the oriental wifo makes her caprices felt, and her spouse can only submit with what grace he may, like his occidental brother, Tho right to divorce Is vested with the husband, but tho divorcee rotlres with all her property to her family and may marry again at once.
