A FAITHLESS WIFE-
The ennrmeT lay was dying in the

horizon the iky was full of flanfmg
brightness, that mirrored itself in the
blue waters that seemed to meet it.
Higher up, the sky was full of purple
shadows, shot through here and there
with lines of gold.
Two persons walked along the
beach a man, who saw only the
brightness in the face of the woman
by his side, realizing in a vague way
from her features, that held such a
charm for him, the splendor of the
sunset pageantry.
She was looking out to sea. The
sunset fires seemed to glow beneath
the lashes of her eyes ; its crimson ra
diance made her check bright and

The Decimal System.
A modification of the decimal system
for tbe division of time and angles is
proposed by M. de Sarranton. The hour
must be retained as the unit of time
because It Is universally accepted and
It Is hopeless to try to change It Ev
ery hour, however, la divided into 100
minutes, and each minute Into 100 sec
onds. The new minutes would be 30
seconds long, three-fifths of the old
minutes, and the new seconds a little
over one-third as long the present sec
onds. Time would then be expressed
In decimals: thus, 8.3348 woald read 8
hours S3 new minutes 48 new seconds.
For angular measurements he proposes
dividing the circle Into 240 degrees In
stead of 360, with the same subdivision
into 100 minutes of 100 seconds as for
the hour.
Goethe as a Joker
In his younger days, Goethe, the
.celebrated German poet was not at
all aliove pract'cal joking of a com
paratively harmless nature. Thus it
; Is related that once, while enjoying a
bath in tbe river at midnight, he
onservea a peasant crossing a neign
boriiig bridge.
Immediately the poet raised him
self half out of the water, and with
his long hair flying around him, gave
utterance to a series of wild un
earthly noises. j
The peasant promptly fled from the
iP'it, and lost no time in spreading
the report that the river was haunted
iiy a whole company of mermen,
pixies, and other water spirits. i
On another occasion, when he was ,
taying'at the Court of Saxe Weimar j
with his friend, Duke Charles
Augustus, one of the court ladies, I
when about to retiie for the night J
found her candle sudden y extin- j
gushed just before she reached be
bed-room door.
Taking no noticeof the occurrence,
she groped along in the dark, but to
her astonishment, could not find the
door-handie.
Again and again she felt her way
along the wall, but with the same
result At last she made up her
mind to go to the Duchess for ad vice.
The later, however, was already
asleep, and no help was to be had
from her.
The jioor lady did not care to take
any ono else Into her confidence,

and in Wisconsin and many other
States, there are statutes providing
means by which bodies for dissection
cau be lawfully obtained.
If there ever was any excuse for
the crime of body-snatching, there is
certainly none now; and It would
seem to be in the Interest of the
medical profession as well as in tbe
Interest of the public for scrupulous
care to lie taken to prevent lawless
outrage upon the feelings of people
who are bowel beneath the saddest
of earthly griefs the loss by death of
a dear relative or friend. No physi
cian with exalted pride in his profes
sion will willfully be a party to what
if generally known would tend to
create in the comncunity a belief that
members of that profession are de
void of human feeling and ready to
ruthlessly trample upon the Under
sentiment of people in deep affliction.
Tho law providing bodies for dis
section in this State would seem to
tie clear and ample. If not, it can be
amended. Hut every physician with
a tine sense of civic duty and pro
fessional honor must stoutly stand
lor quick compliance with the pro
visions of the law, and must be above
collusion with body-snatchers for the
purpose of obtaining "subjects."
