WRITTEN FOR P in the royal cas tle, in a bedroom hidden away from all noise and ex citement, King Odrick was lying on bis deathbed. It was in the middle of the nicht, and the attendants upon the dying monarch were all sodding and shaking their heads with sleep. Only the king was awake, but al though he noticed that nobody was taking any particular notice of him, he never mur mured. "I am ahout to die," he solilo quized, "and those who used to watch my very eyes and lips for the smallest com mand are now asleep because they have realized that my power is waning. A king is very powerful, but Death is his master." Suddenly Odrick seemed to hear the noise of a fluttering dress or a flapping wing. He looked up and there he beheld the lonn and features of a most beautiful lnrf-r- Vnv n mnmont thl Vino WIS SPCeCh' less: then he lilted his hand to pull the bell and wake his servants, but before he acconi- punea ins onjeci inc appannuu a - hand on his Srm and stopped him.

Alas! but it was ever so with the rich and the great- They accept the aid of the poor and lowly, but gratitude is not in them." "Hold on, Lilial," the dying man ex claimed; "you do me an injustice. "Why, even now, just before you came in, I re membered you and I also recalled the oath I swore to you on the day you saved my life. You are here, and I am ready to re new the compact." "I am glad to hear you say so. ohl Odrick, my king. Let us proceed, then." "Over there, in the right hand corner of the room, just near the door,"is Wolmar, my private secretary and trusty servant.

Well on that dav I promised the fairy that my son, you Odrick, should marry the daughter of Xiilial, the fairy, out of gratitude for her service to me. I am about to die now, and I want you to swear, both of you, that you will consider my oath to Lilial binding upon you, and whenever yon want to marry Odrick, Lilial's daughter must be your cnoicc. jNowswearr For a moment "Wblmar looked at young Odrick, while the latter in turn looked first at Volmar, then at Lilial and at last at his father, who, lrom his couch of death, re turned his son's gaze very steadily and urgingly to fulfill his wish. Young Odrick was an obedient son and he was vpry lond of his father, who had always been good and i kind to him. The young man was only 17 years when this event took place, and inas much as his affections were not already en gaged in any particular direction, he did not consider his father's wish very much. Just now he only looked at his sick sire, and his first impulse was to do anything to please him. "I am ready to swear," he replied, "and so am I," said Wolmar. "Then I am glad," was the old King's re joinder. "Then let us take the proofs of this com pact," the fairy stated. "Here are two rings exactly autre, une is lor you, my prince, and -the other I will keep. Once a year I will come to see you, and whenever you are willing to exchange the rings, then I shall understand that you are willing to marry my daughter. It you do not want to ex change, I shall understand that you mean to wait anyther year. Are you satisfied?" "Yes," replied young Odrick." "Then listen further to me." continued Lilial the fairv. "If yon refase after ten years to fulfill the condition of your oath you must die. Are vou willing to do that? "Yes," replied Odrick. "If after ten years I still refuse to marry your daughter I am willing to be burned at the stake like anr other man who refuses to fulfill the conditions of his oath." "That is agreed to!" said Lilial. Then 3 the ring was given to Odrick and Lilial vanished. Next morning the old king was dead, and after he was buried with all the cere monies incidental to such an occasion, young Odrick was placed upon his father's mruue. xne young man was a very good fellow, and his people liked him verymuch. He was a bad king because he could not be " a tyrant, and he was all the better for it. He was of a noble, manly, chivalrous and honorable nature, who loved every man for the amount of manliness about him. He had now been king in his father's place for over five years, and 'every year Lilial, the fairy, came to see him on his birthday, and asked him whether he was willing to exchange the ring. Odrick in variably answered: "Dear Fairy, let me enjoy my freedom and youth a little longer. I have not even thought of getting married yet Maybe next year I will have changed my mind." After Lilial had been for the ninth time at the court of young Odrick aud aked him to exchange the ring, it happened one dav that the young king and a small retinue of his followers went ont hunting. There were a number of enormous bears around that part of the country, and the king, who was a great sportsman, anticipated a great deal of lun. When the party got into the forest, OdricK gave orders tbat everyone was to go and hunt for himself, and that all were to meet in one particular spot in the evening Then the party separated. Odrick soon found himself alone in the depth of the forest, but he had a good horse and he longed to get sight of a bear. Suddenly he heard the crushing and -" breaking of the brushwood on his right and v ' upon looking in that direction he saw a big -. bear coming toward him. Odrick at once turned his horse toward the. bear and bore down upon him.j He shot, iut unfortun ately his aim had pot been a true oue, and auimatxiauaxnea ov a sugnt wound. a I... it.; j -...

King Odrick fell down and the horse came down on his leg, which made him completely helpless and put him at the mercy of the infuriated bear, who did not wait very long to take advantage of his chance. Bat it was not to be. Just at the moment when the bear sprang toward the young king to tear his head off, if he could, an avwiir. iorrff? liia riport nnrl dena ss a loff f he tumbled down at the side of Odrick. The latter was astonished for a moment, but in the next minute he was even amazed. There, a few paces away from him, stood a voung girl, as beautiful as he had ever seen in all his life, holding the bow in her hand, which had shot the arrow into the bear's heart. Odrick was not able to speak. He stammered a few inaudible remarks of thanks to the young lady as she came up and extricated him from his dangerous po sition. "Are you hurt?" she asked him then. "Yes, "I have my led crushed," was all he could mutter. The young huntress, who looked a verita ble Diana, helped the young king on his feet, and she led him to a cave nearby. Arrived there she requested him to lay down on a beautiful leopard skin, which was soread out in one corner. Mechani cally Odrick obeyed the lady. Now that he sat down she came and examined his in- f juries and then dressed them. "iou will nave to stay Here lor a day or two before your limb will be well again," she said, and then she went out and left Odrick to himself. The young king, greatly relieved of his pain, had now time to think over the occur rences of the last hour. He seemed to be in a dream. He could not understand it all. But of one thing he felt sure, and that was, that at last he had found a girl he could love with his whole heart; a lady, who should be his queen. Never in his life had he ever seen anything like her. He stayed in the cave for nearly a week. The second day the huntress who had saved his life became more communicative, and Odrick lost his shyness too. They talked and chatted together like old friends. Be fore Odrick went nway he told the young lady that he loved her and that he would come and fetch her to he his wife and his queen. During all this time he had quite forgto ten his compact with Lilial, the fairy, and when he recalled it again, his heart shook with pain and despair. "Alas! what am I to do cow. I cannot keep my word with her and marry her daughter, because I do not love her. I can never love anyb6dy but my hostess and friend in the woods. Oht that I was ever foolish enough to swear such an oath when I had never seen Lilial's daughter. It was cruel to inveigle a boy into such a contract. But therel I know what I shall do. Marry Lilial's daughter I cannot. Still, we owe her a debt of gratitude, and my father would not rest in his grave if I did" not pay the debt. But I know what I will do. I shall die at the stake and my part of the contract is fulfilled. That settles it." "When Lilial came for the tenth time she said to Odrick: "Well, my dear young king, your time of waiting is over now. You will have to give me the ring now." "I am very sorry, Lilial, but I cannot Since I saw you last I have seen a young lady, whom I adore above everything in the world, and I could not marry anybody else." "But do vou know that you forfeit your life if you do not marry my daughter? xes, l Know it, ijinai, and, if you look outside into the yard, you will notice that I have the stake already erected, and as I can not marry your daughter I will go and ful fill my contract bvgettingburued to death." Lilial cried and lamented and asked him to reconsider and not be so foolish. "I am a man of honor," replied Odrick, "and I fulfill my contract I cannot marry your daughter, therefore I will die." Then he quietly but firmly stepped from his throne and walked down into the yard where the blocks of wood were put in a big pile. All was ready, it only had to be lit Odrick climbed on the top and gave the sig nal to have it set afire, He did it as quietly as it ne was ordering nis soiaiers around on a day of parade. Poor Lilial did not know what to do. Suddenly a thought seemed to strike her. "If he were to see my daughter in all her youthful beauty and loveliuess he would perhaps forget all about his other love. Let me try" it." "Hold on there a moment," she cried, and then turning to Odrick she said: "Will you allow me to show you my daughter be fore you die? Perhaps if you see her your mind may change." Odrick smiled, but acquiesed. Then Lilial, taking a' whistle from her pocket blew it, and behold! There through the air came the form of a beautiful maiden floating along. Lilial held up her hand and the flying lady took hold ot it and jumped to the ground. But no more had Odrick looked at the face when he jumped up from the wood pile like a maniac and running to Lilial, he said: "Is that vour daughter?" "Yes," replied Lilial. "Well, then, thank the Lord, for she is the lady I (ound in the wood, who saved my life from a bear and whose image is in my heart ever since." Lilial, the fairy, was glad when she heard that, and great rejoica'ng took the place of mourning. u.ne next day was the wedding and the yonng king and queen lived very happily lor manyjears.

Sp I RIDING ON THE KAIL. The Possibilities of Increase of Speed in Bailroad Travel. SEVERAL NOTABLE FAST TRIPS. The Greatest Speed Attained on (This Side of the Ocean. MUCH MORE DANGER AT A RAPID RATE rWBITTZN FOB THE DISPATCH. Those who have watched the progress made in railroading in America during the past dozen years, and the comforts that travelers sow enjoy on the rail, need not be told that all that money and brains can do to increase speed and safety of travel is being done. The brainy men of' brawn, who are build ing locomotives and equipping passenger coaches in a style not equaled many land in the world, are giving much thought and at tention to fast time on the rail. It is a rule among these men to guard their secrets well, and they would not consider'it professional to talk to an interviewer, but the editors of the various journals devoted to railroads, railroad engineering and locomotives, and there are a score of them in this country, have no hesitancy in speaking. With a view to finding out what is being done in the matter of locomotive engineer ing to gain great speed the writer called on a few experts the other day. EditorTalbot, of the Railway Age, who is known to every man engaged in railroading from the Atlan tic to the Pacific, was asked if he thought the maximum of speed had yet been at tained. He did not seem to like tbat ques tion exactly, and so the interviewer gave him another one. It was this: "What is the greatest speed yet attained by railway trains?" CONSTANTLY XXCBEASrXQ. "In the United States the speed attained by passenger trains has been constantly in creasing during the last lew years, until on some of our lines having the most perfect roadbeds, bridges and motive power it has reached the rate of from 65 to 60 miles an hour, and in some cases almost 70 miles, not including stops and for comparatively short distances on practically straight track. Of course there arc no regular trains which are run at these speeds, including stops. The tendency leans toward still greater speed than has yet been adopted, because of the necessities of competition and the demands of the traveling public, which it would seem can only be satisfied by the substitution of lightning for steam as a motive power. "Could people travel with comfort and safety at 100 miles an hour?" "No. After a speed of say 40 miles an hour has been achieved each mile of in crease adds both to the dangers and discom forts. The greater the speed the greater the possibility ot broken rails, broken wheels and axles, falling bridges, etc. The various parts of the locomotive ate more liable to get out of order, and in case of derailment or collision the results are proportionately dis astrous. These and other rlements of danger apply to fast running. Some of the discom forts which result are the .swaying of cars, the creation of dust and the increased jolt ing and jarring." "What progress has heen made of late years in the building of locomotives?" IMPEOVED LOCOMOTIVES. "Recent improvements in locomotive building, both in the matters of speed and power, have been very great in the past few years. Increased experience, inventive genius, and the skill possessed by the men who control the motive power department of our railways, with the Unceasing efforts of our great locomotive builders to provide a perfect locomotive, have resulted in placing iae American engine aneaa oi an otners. For several years it has been victorious over all competitors, not only in this country, but in South America, Cuha, Mexico and the islands of the Pacific. Every year adds to its possibilities as to speed, hauling powers and endurance. A recent trial of the new Strong locomotive, A. 6. Darwin, furnished a most interesting illustration of the progress constantly being made in these respects. It may he interesting to know what has been accomplished on the other side of the ocean. Prom London to Crewe, a distance of 158 miles, the run is made in 176 minutes withont stopping, a stretch of 52J4 miles being made in 50 minutes, the speed sometimes reaching 70 miles an hour. Prom Carlisle to Edinburgh, 101 miles is made in 105 minutes; from London to Grantham, 105 miles, in 117 minutes, with out stopping, and from York to Newcastle, 84 miles, in 86 minutes." Mr. N. M. Forney, editor of the .ffatJroad ana Jngtneennq journal, when inter viewed, expressed himself as follows : "The details in locomotive building are the same as they were 20 years ago; the only difference in the construction ot locomotives now compared with 10 to 20 years ago is that they are built heavier and more powerful. As to the question of great speed, about 80 miles an hour has been reached for short distances, but for short distances only. This speed is rarely attempted and more rarely attained. AVEEAOE MAXIMUM SPEED. "Fifty-four miles an hour may be consid ered the average maximum Speed for long distances, and I don't think you will find that more than this speed is registered in any of the railway guides of this country. If you have a proper road to travel on there is no reason why it should not be just as safe and just as pleasant traveling at 100 miles an hnnp no of TSi Ort' ti.if ns I. .l..l... this enormous speed will ever be,reached is . more than I can answer, nor could any rail road man. it is not likely to occur for some time yet, and may therefore be considered outside the pale of practical discission for the present This is emphatically a day of great achievements when man's ingenuity and skill are constantly making new con quests, and," added the'editor with a mean ing nod, "you and I will live to see a good many more triumphs of inventive genius yet. There are Stephensons and Edisons yet to come. Increased speed, however, means increased danger all around,"1 The young and enthusiastic editor of the Zoeomotice .Enofneer, who watches the evo lution in machinery of all kinds with keen interest, when asked for his opinion,replied as follows: "The greatest change in the building of locomotives is in the weight and the in creased boiler pressure. Some locomotives built nowadays have a boiler pressure of 180 pounds per sauare inch. Engines are built to-day to pull very heavy loads, and while there is absolutelv no change in nrinnnle nr details they are made as strong and! heavy as possible." "As to the maximum speed?" , THE HIGHEST KNOW2T. "I cannot give you the exact figure for the reason that no statistics are published on this question of maximum speod, but I should say 75 miles an hour, orjpossibly oyer. This is not done every day in the week. I believe the highest regular speed on the guide is 64 miles an honrj but 60 miles an hour is often reached by engineers who are behind time, and sometimes even 70. In my opinion, it would not be possible to travel at 100 miles an hour with com fort and safety, that is, under present con ditions. We should require to have a dif ferent style of car altogether, and then the tracks and curves would also require to be built ou an entirely different plan forjsuch a tremendous speedl Now 60 miles an hour is as much as I care for, and what 100 miles mieht be I don't know. Some folks not afflicted with nerves," continued the'ditor, jocosely, "might enjoy it, but I'would rather be excused. Then could tbe engineer preserve his presence of mind at such a speed? Perhaps he could, but it is d ques tion. I met an engineer once who had driven a train at 80 miles an hour,and when he got it up to that speed his kneesjbegan to shake together, and he gave every indica- Me-a of intense nervowflew. . , iJ- the event of a collision or breakdown, other wise, however, I don't consider there is a bit more danger. I prefer the fast train to the slow one, and there are as manv acci dents or more with slow trains as with fast ones. If a fast train is run on good tracks there is practically no danger. Mr. G. H. Prout, editor of the Batroad Gazette, is a very conservative man, and writes for a very critical class of readers. He, therelore, will not vouch for the abso lute accuracy of the views given below, though he considers them measureably cor rect. SAFETY CONSIDEEED. In reply to the question the editor, after referring to a formidable looking volume on his shelves, replied: "The fastest trains run between Philadelphia and Washington; they run at 44U miles an hour, including four stops. The fastest speed made by these trains is 59 miles an hour. A great many trains run as fast as 60 miles an hour every day for short distances between stations to make up for lost time. The fastest English trains make an average speed of about 50 miles an hour. The Lon don and Northwestern Railway ran trains last summer from London to Edinburgh, a distance of 400 miles, at a speed of 51 miles an hour, including three stops or 55)4 miles an hour, exclusive of these stops. This is the maximum speed done in regular every day practice." "Could people travel in safety at 100 miles an hour?" The editor seemed a little staggered at the question, and after a little thought he re plied with admirable candor, "I don't know. There Is no experiment nor any re liable reasoning which would warrant me in saying whether passenger trains will ever run 100 miles an hour and carry people with comfort and safety. It is not likely that everybody would una it comfortable, though it might be perfectly safe. But one thing is pretty certain it will not be for many years yet. I do not regard it a phy sical impossibility, however. The dangers would certainly be increased, but no person need have any fear of traveling in a train running at the rate ot 60 miles an hour; at such a speed they may be considered reas onably safe, provided it is on a first-class road. Not only must the track be in good condition and the rolling stock, bat there must also be precautions for protecting trains by proper signals. Most or many of tne accidents wnica occur can be traced to defective signaling. HAULING HEAVIEB TRAINS. "Very little alteration has been made in the building of locomotives. The weight has been very greatly increased within the last ten years, and they are constantly be in? built stronger and miirfi nnirerful. in order that they may haul heavier trains at greater speed. They are also makingthe boil ers stronger, so that they can carry a higher steam pressure. An engine and tender to day often weighs as much as 75 tons, and will haul 90 tons of cars and freight." Mr. Wellington, editor of the Engineer. ing Nec, who is a very busy man, found time to reply to my queries as follows: "As to speed?" "Down grade 90 miles an hour, 70 miles frequently, 60 miles, every day. Up to 60 miles an hour there is no necessary increase of danger; it is quite as safe as at 30. Ten or 15 miles an hour is always safer. Low speed means fewer accidents, and that is the reason why there are, so few casualties on the elevated railroads. As to whether it is safe to travel at 100 miles an hour I answer. No: it is impossible. With the present style of cars it would be neither safe Dor comfortable. There has been no great change in the building of locomotives since the days of George Stephenson and the first railroad between Stockton and Darlington in the north of England. They are built pretty much the same way in general de sign, and the only serious change is -the in crease in weight , The Strong locomotive is the most promising experiment in locomo tive building and attains a high rate of speed." Mr. Galvin, editor of Railroad Topic, further supplemented these talks. HEW INVENTIONS. ' In reply to mv question, "What is the maximum speed?" he replied, "70 miles an nour lor short distances, and on good roads. This may be regarded as the highest point reacnea in regular everyday traveling. One hundred miles an hour will never be reached. I have a personal friend who has been at work during the last few vears on an engine that he is building to run 100i muesan nour, oun doubt whether he will ever succeed. It would require to be alto gether different from those running on the tracks at the present day. The Strong loco motive, which has obtained such favorable comments in so many newspapers, has made a first-rate run only recently. On April 1 the Stronglocomotive "A. G. Darwin' hauled the Erie express from Jersey City to Buffalo, 421 miles, in the regular schedule, thus doing with apparent ease the work which is ordinarily assigned to four different engines. The train consisted of six cars, including one Pullman, at the start, which on portions of the run was increased to seven or eight cars. "On the followinc dav the same Micnnn returned with a still heavier load, making the run on time. This I regard as a re markable performance, and it speaks highly for the power aud endurance oi the Strong locomotive. The West, however, claims the honor of beating this record by a still longer continuous run, made on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. On April 8, an or dinary engine of the eight-wheel type, draw ing the special, train of Dr. Webb, of the Wagner Palace Car Company, made the run from Chicago to Council Bluffs, a distance of 490 miles, in 12 hours, including 18 stops. If I deduct 50 minutes for stops, the average speed was 41 miles an hour, and the speed recorder showed a speed ot 64J miles an hour between Colorado and Nevada, a distance of seven miles." i NE7 ANTIDOTE POfi 2I0RPHISE. Ficrotoxln Will Probnblr Prove a Usofal DraB to the Medical Profession. According to a Klausenberg scientist, Prof. Bokai, picrotoxin is the best nntidntn to morphine. The effect of morphine is, of course, to paralyze the action of the respira tory center; picrotoxin. on the nontrnrv when given in small doses, increases such action. Thus the two drugs act in a directly opposite way. An overdose of morphine prodnces paralysis of the respiratory organs; picrotoxin prevents such paralysis; therefore picrotoxin is likely to be of great use in cases of poisoning from morphine. Dimi nution of the pressure of the blood ensues upon an overdose of morphine; but picro toxin counteracts such effects by stimulat ing the vaso-constrictor center of the med ulla. These two agents attain have an en tirely opposite effect upon the cerebral hem ispheres. Up till now the onlj antidote to mor phine known has been atropine, but it can not be administered in large doses, and it is therefore necessary to discover some other antidote if possible. Prof. Bokai considers that picrotoxin maybe useful as asubstitute for preparations ot nux vomica. He even considers that its use will be efficacious in the prevention 0f asphyxia from chloro form.

' SUNDAY THOUGHTS I0R4LS,MAIERS BY A CLERGYMAN. IWBITTEN TOU THE DISPATCH.! Those materialists who imagine that Christianity is a spent .force, playing at life to Serve as the retreat of selfish place-men, must have had this notion rudely jostled by the case of" the Belgian priest, Father Da nuen, just dead in the Sandwich Islands. He went as a missionary to Honolulu in 18S4, at the age of 24. He found that lep fosy was a prevalent disease. On account of !the danger of infection, the lepers were isolated in a separate community at Molo kal. Here, cut off from social intercourse with others, subjected to the slow rot of a hopeless ailment, deprived of mental and moral ministrations, these Incurable sufferers lived as the swine live. Their village was a stye. Without marriage, the sexes horded together and propagated lepers. It was an actural hell worse than that painted by the Imagination of Dante. Well, this Intrepid young priest selected tnis Place as his field ot labor. He Went deliber ate, knowing the cost, aware that ho must inevitably contract the disease and die a leper. For IS years he dwelt in this ghastly com munitydying by Inches; and he has just gone to heaven ont of it. He found Molokal a per dition; he left it an intellectual and moral community, with schools and churches and an honest domestic life. He found squalor; be left cleanliness. He met despair; be departed with the sweet consciousness tbat he had taught his hapless flock patience here and hope hereafter. What does unbelief make of such a career? Where, whan, nai it matched it? Here wo have living and breathing proof that Chris tianity is not a poem, a strain of music, the beautiful dream of a Sunday, a mere text for a romantic sermon. No poem is as grand as Father Daraien's self-sacrifice, no strain of music is so sweet, and no dream so heavenly. It is said that this Is a sporadic case T It is true tbat such heroes do not march in battal ions. But they always arise with the need. Witness this very case. Father JConrady is al ready in Molokai, carrying on the work begun by the translated saint. jVnd two new volun teers are even now en route to re-enforce and co-operate with him the one, another priest, also a Belgian, Father Wcndolin Aloellers: the other, an accomplished younp; woman. Miss Nellie Flavia, who goes to devote bor life to the service of God's afflicted children. May these not say with Paul: ''I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." Some Grand PhllaDtropuIits. Father Damlen's ministry among the lepers, suggests the kindred worlc of other holy souls in allied fields. In 1775 the Abbe de l'Epee nrst taught the deaf and dnmb to speak with their fingers and hear with their eyes. In Germany and some other countries of Europe, where language is more phonetic than in France or England, the dumb are taught to articulate actually to utter intelligible words, which they mutually understand by the motion of the lips. Wonderful as is tbe thought, it is nevertheless proved that there is a language of the muscles as truly as of the voice. A litttle later, Valentino Hauy, of Paris, ac cording to Mr. Horace Mann, became ac quainted with tbe Baroness Von Paradis, a blind German laay who visited the French cap ital as an organist, and performed with eclat. About the same time an event took place at tbe annual fair of St. Ovid which roused bis com passion. An inn keeper had collected ten blind persons, attired them in the most absurd man ner, with asses' ears, peacocks' feathers and spectacles without glasses, to perform at a bur lesque concert. What was designed for wan ton amusement only kindled Hauy's benevo lence. He resolved to do for tbe blind through the sense of touch what tbe Abbe de l'Epee had done for deaf mutes by the medium of sight. Accordingly, he founded an Institution for their instruction in Pans, in 1784 the beau tiful and prolific mother of those hundreds of similar schools now scattered up and down Christendom. A Christian physician, Esqulrol, was the first man to make any impression npon the public in favor of a more humane treatment of the insane. In 1799 he founded, also in Paris, tbe first Insane asylum moved to it by discovering in one place a wretched huddle of 20 of these sufferers, manacled, caged like wild beasts, nestling in their own filth, deserted by friends and all human kind, and agonized by a malady whose very nature excluded consolation; so goaded into hpstillty to their race that the mere sight of their keeper tbrewtbem into par- u3ui3 ui tdjtv. jcauuirui weiitinamonginem, qnieted their ferocity, and taught the world how to treat insanity. In this country, the late Dorothea DIx took up his work, and by her own efforts established 19 of these insane asy lums. Is Christianity a fable? How account, then, for Howard and Mrs. Fry and Lord (Shaftes bury and Oberlin who plunged into the Alpine fastnesses where tbe gospel and the school master were never beard of, and beginning with spade and mattock, introduced comfort and purity, and led the people forth on their way to everlasting life? A Child or Christianity. The truth is that philanthropy is the child of Christianity. The religion of Jesus is tbe only one which makes brotherly love its central and characteristic duty. Thetsplendld polytheisms of antiquity were, without exception, based upon some other principle art, patriotism, power, conqnest; never upon love. Tue master passion of human sympathy was Ignored; or if it existed it was exemplified only by an indi vidual here and there. "I do not recollect in all classical history," remarks Edward Everett, a competent authority, "a single individual portrajed to us as a philanthropist, in the modern acceptation of the term." Count Tolstoi's Wife. Miss Elizabeth D .Hanscom. iuan Interesting I article, quotes Mr. Stead (who writes of life at Yasnaia Pollana, the country estate of tbe Russian novelist and theorist, Lyof Tolstoi) as saying: "The dreams of theidealist are seldom capable of translation into the prose of actual lite, especially when the idealist happens to be married and tbe lather of a large family." Mr. Stead further affirms that if Count Tol stoi had been at liberty to fully carry out his ideas, there would now be no Count Tolstoi. All the world knows tbat he believes in liter ally obeying the injunction to sell all and give to the poor, that he believes manual labor to be a necessary condition of ideal life, and that to possess more than the bare essentials of life seems to him a sin. Yet be and his famliv live - in luxury on his ancestral estate. What all the world does not know is that the Countess Tol stoi Is tbe reconciling factor in this apparent conflict of theory and practice. , Nearly 30 years ago before he developed his philosophy of life. Count 1 olstoi married tlia daughter of a Moscow Phjsician. During all these years she has shown herself to be a woman of unusual powers. She directs, con trols, manages everything at tbe households at Moscow and at Yasnaia Pollana. dhe assumes tbe whole responsibility of caring for the fam ily, which numbers 13 children, superintends their education and teaches them English and music. Her business ability is also shown by the fact that she has sole charge of tho sale. circulation and distribution of her huband's books. Nor fs she wanting in sjmpathy for the Count's intellectual labors. She is both amen uensts, revisor and translator. Tolstoi's writ ing is illegible to most readers and his wife re writes his manuscripts again and again until they suit his fastidious taste. In this way she copied "War and Peace." from end to end, six time, and his last work, "Life," she re wrote 10 times, beside translating it into French. When, however, it comes to a question of adorning his views entirely, she reluses. One of the country seats has already been sold, tbe family has retired from society, the mode of life has been much simplified; buttlieConntess Tolstoi will not consent to giving up everything, or to living like a peasant. For the sake of her children, she insists on a comfortable life. By the law of the land, without the consent of his wife, the Count cannot resign all tbe resources on which tbe family is maintained. Accord ingly, he has retired from active participation in the household arrangements; he Is his wife's guest, coming and going as be chooses, partak ing pf the plainest fare, maintaining a rjgid simplicity of life, and.aU the time considering that his family lire in culpable luxury because they have servants to wash their linen and to prepare their food. r Artistic Beggars. Sir Walter Scott, in his interesting descrip tion of the professional beggars of Scotland, in the introduction to "Tho Antiquary," relates an anecdote of Andrew Gaminels, one of tbat class, who said to a gentleman on his express ing his regret that be had no silver, as in that case be would bave given Andrew a sixpence "I can give you change for a note, laird." Speaking of beggars, the late Edward Ev erett, In his charming lecture on "Charity," affirms that mendicity in Europe is a trade almost a profession. It is carried on by orga nized fraternities; ,it is taught in regular schools; and strange as the proposition sounds, it yields a handsome income. Mr. Everett quotes our great American nov elist, Cooper, as telling an amusing anecdote of a battalion: of beggars, near a hundred strong, which herecrulted at Sorrento, in theKingdom of Naples, during a few weeks sojourn at that aengutiui spot, ana operation oegan uy ma giving a grano, a copper coin worth about a cent; to a-hezgar who dally seated himself at the gate of Mr. Cooper's villa. In a few days one or two additional pensioners made their appearance, and received their expected grano. Ae. fameoftbe benitlcent American till all the mendicants In Sorrento assembled dally at his door to receive each bis grant The rumor of such unexampled munificence could not be confined within the city walls: new can didates for the pittance flocked In from the neighborhood. To prevent jostling,- their bene factor had them drawn up in line for the re ception of the accustomed larges", and on the day of his departure from Sorrento tbey paraded in this way to the number of 86 as tattered a corps probably as has been mustered in Christendom since the days of Faistaffs regiment; for all beggars, the Neopolitan are known for their transcendent, not to say transparent, raggedness. There Is no part of the Christian world where the art of begging Is carried to greater perfection than in the two Sicilies. All sorts of grievous hurts and shocking diseases are skillfully counterfeited: a real deformity or mutilation is a revenue,and an incurable disease an Income for life. Mormon fetntfitici. At the closing of the Mormon Conference, April 8, George Q. Cannon read the statistics of the church, which are: Twelve apostles, 70 patriarchs, 3,719 high priests, 11,805 elders, 2,069 priests. 2.292 teachers, 1L610 deacons, 81,899 fam ilies. 115915 officers and members and 49,302 children under 8 vears of age, a total Mormon population of 153,911. The number of marriages lor the six months ending April 6, 18s9, was 630; births, 1751; new members, 488; excommu nications, lia Protestants In Spain. The Protestant chdrch of Spain numbers at present 112 chapels and scboolhouses. 111 pa rochial schools, with 61 male and 78 female teachers, 2,545 boys and 2,095 girls. There are 80 Sunday schools, witi 183 helpers and3.231 schol ars. The churches are ministered unto by 53 pastors and 85 evangelists. The number of reg ular attendants of divine service Is 9,164; of communicants, 3,442. Pastor F. Flledner re ports steady progress on all sides. Cash Returns From Sllsslons. Much has been written on the remunerative effects of missionary enterprises. The most profitable efforts made in reference to tbe American Indians are not tho efforts to conquer them in war, not the efforts to support them in idleness and barbarism, but the efforts to Chris tianize them. The Rocky Mountain Christian Advocate says: "While the Dakota Indians were savages it cost the Government $1,848,000 tto take care of them seven years. The tost after their conversion for the same length of time was $120,000, a difference of (1,728,000 In favor of Christianity." The Gospel subdues tbe savage Instincts, overcomes the vices, stim ulates industry, awakens thought, implants virtuous principles and reforms society by Re newing the heart. Christian Converts In India. The Indian Witness says: At the present time there are. in round numbers, about half a million Protestant Christians in India. One half of these are comparatively recent converts, and It is too soon to expect them to exert a very perceptible influence on their neighbors. but even allowing this, the little body of Christians forms a most Important factor in tbe body politic of the empire. It will not be long till the half million become a million.and many of our readers will lire to see the day when there will be ten million Protestant Christians In India. When that day comes these ten million Indians will be the leaders of Indian thought and Indian progress. Their roico will be more potent in England than the voice of India IS to-day. Tbey will be bolder Innovators than any men in India now, and they will be recognized by all classes as the natural loaders of the Indian people. Briolit Thonsuti of Great Blind.

A2r eminent historical scholar has observed that the Roman Emperor, Caligula,establisbed valuable prizes in rhetoric, but condemned the nnsuccessful competitors to wipe ont their long dull orations from their tablets with their tongues. This regulation, happily for modern orators, has been allowed to become absolute, it being found that the lapse of a short time performs the operation with equal success. A gentleman in New England has given $100,000, and Japanese gentlemen have sub scribed about $70,000, to found a Cbrlsoan uni versity in Japan, according to a plan proposed by the Rev. Joseph Neesima, of the American Board. The collegiate institution which Mr. Neesima has been building up for some years contains more than 900 students.

A cure for leprosy has been found, says Mr. Clifford, the last European to visit Father Damicn. It is gnrjun oil. the produce oi a fir tree which grows plentifully in the Andaman Islands. It was discovered by Dr. Dougall, and Mr. Clifford was "as sured by Sir Donald Stewart, who was then Governor of the the islands, and who has sent me the official medical report, that every single case in tne place was cured by it. The lepers were con victs, and it was therefore impossible to en force four hours a day of rubbing the oint ment all over their bodies, and the taking of two small doses internally. In some of the cases the disease was of many years' stand ing, and the state to which it "had reduced its victims was indescribably dreadful, yet after eight months the sufferers were able to run and to use a heavy pickax, and even symptom of leprosy had disappeared." Father Damien tried it, but too late. WORDS WORTH M0NEI. A Husband' Estimate or the Cnsh Value of His Wife's Talk.

Twas on the "one" th of the flowery month Death out on a ramble set, With a pack of darts to attack the hearts Of the living things he met. A rebel he saw who was claimed by the law Being sentenced to die at noon; Death aiming his dart it a vital part Made him dance to t he hangman's tune. Then his bolt was drawn 'gainst the beast that John In Apocalypse behold; And he said with a jest it was all for the best That the monster had beeu felled. But a poet mild twas the aesthetic 7f5W All tbe darts of death defied. For he lightly laughed at the erring abaft As the skeleton' s aim was wide. But the chaffer's jibe was a useless bribe To offer tbe democrat Death: With precision deft be the jester letft In sorrow and rage out of breath. There was one made more than he -was before. And spared by Death to sing; For Moore iiad a charm in his song to dis arm The wrath of the grizzly king. Then he struck by stealth at a millionaire wealth Had its rampart round him rolled Still he felt the sting of the railroad king; Nothing was left but his gold. As he homeward sped he a steed struck dead Death spares neither man nor brute And ever since both pauper and prince Have trodden it under foot. In tbe twilight dim for amusement grim. In his enamel house alone. As he joins tbe hearts into life there starts A creature after his own. W. Wilsos-. 599 TEANSPOSirlOIT. "Peter N.

Brickell, tbe earliest natilralist to visit' North Carolina, recorded that "these ani mals, baked and beat to pow ier, are taken with orrice root to cure th : tympany and many disorders." In the era of Sir Thoma ) Browne, say 1630, a cubic inch of dried toad, worn round the neck, was believed to be an infallible antidote against many malat lies, bodily and mental; and a powdered oa i. swallowed io spoonfuls, lormed an irresistil )le love-philter. In this notion we perhaps got a hint of tbe very ancient origin of the supposed medical efficacv of the toad, for it is a nocturnal animal, and hence sacred t tbe powers of darkness, and in particular to Hecate, who through her relations wit! . the tbe moon, was highly influential in loye affairs. If evil-disposed persons sought tbe aid of these nocturnal servants of witchcraft, what more natural than that a limorons mortal should protect himself with Ihe same? But we need not go so far; back.
