"I'roui the circus!" repeateil the

Sli.- won't ive no name nor yet no

Jakes considered it the '"height of im-pu-lein

should dare to ask to see Ills master,
mid lunged to send her nliout her busi

ulie to be asking for gentlemen, as l-ld

.lak. s departed, much displeased, and
in e-.ei.tly ii.-heied a young woman nto
tin- loom and shut the door niter her
can-fully, and in a fashion that said an
plainly as possible: "Well, I wash
in v hands of this foolhardy proceed
'ii.'
Tlu; young woman advanced into the
tniilill" of the room and then stood awk
wardly ain. villi nothing. She was a
tall, slight girl, attired In u variety of
garments, startling In hue, and having
apparently uo connection with one an
other. Iler hnlr was brushed about her
foreiieud and stuck out in a series of
large "rolls" behind. The hair was
crowned by a hat of portentous size
dorued by several rather dejected
looking feathers. But under the furze-
bush of hair the face was oval and al
most beautiful in its regularity of fea
ture a ud pure color.
'I'm scholar rose and bowed, then
with old fashioned courtesy lie pet a
chair for her. and having seen her seat
ed, murmured something shyly as "to
what he was Indebted for the pleasure
of this visit?"
The girl stared at lilrn with wide blue
eyes, then said, abruptly: "I say,
you're a knowin' old cove, nren't you?"
The scholar started tt little ;.t this de
scription of himself, and waved his
hands In deprecating wise. The girl
went on: "I've 'card In the village aa
you nit ahvays a-studylng old Itooks,
and know-sail sorts of heathenish lingo;
now do you know 'ow to make a lov
poshlnV"
The scholar gazed at her In epe ech
inus astonishment, then he grasped the
edge of hlx writing table for support
unu stammered: "lo I understand you
to usk me if I know anything about
love philters?"
"Yes. that's the tiekat!" said tho girl,
geiilully. "I want a love poshln to give
my young man. 'K's been and took up

Tho scholar felt quite sorry for her

ho was about to inflict, she smiled so

shook Us head, then he mild gently:
"I'm afraid I am quite unable to h'dp

"I fear not," sad the scholar, almost
sadly, bbe was so eager, so much It
earnest. Tbe girl drew herself up if
her chair and said, abruptly:
"I'm a honest Blrf,1 Lam." ,
"That I am sure yoti 'are, and there
fore you need no love philters. , Believi
me. yon are quite pretty and goot
enough to inspire love, an honest love

was very gentle and bis manner court

and made a little swallowing uioliot
with her throat, then she cougned uiit

There was silence for a minute in th
big library, then tbe scholar said gent
ly: "Why do you want a love philteri

"Well, runs after Mad'selle Leon
ore, and I can't stand It, and I ratei
'lm, and e laughs at me, and I'm beast
ly miserable, I am!"
Tbe girl's voice broke, and great tean
rolled down ber cheek The scholai
was much distressed. He was a very
learned man, and Instructed in tbe be
wisdom of many lnnds, but be had a!s
studied diligently a book that It re
quires no great erudition to understand
but only what is quite as rare, a hum
b'.e heart. A certain saying in tha
book which runs: "But hou hast mer
cy upon a'.l, and winkest at tbe sins ol
men; because tbey should amend,'
came into his mind, and the trouble ol
this poor circus girl was very real ti
him. She wiped her eyes with a gayly
bordered pocket-handkerchief, anc
said:
"What would a l'dy do?"
Thn scholar pondered for a moment
then said diffidently, and with extremi
shyness: "I think that she would not
show that she minded. Tbat she woalc
try to be always sweet and good-tem
pored and gracious, above all to Mad
am What's-her-name. Don't let bin

you. If you are wise, and if he Ii
worth having if he's worthy of yot
and of your pood father, you'll find
that all this nonsense will come to ai

It was a long speech for the seboia!
to make; he flushed a little as he madi
it. and the clrcns girl gazed at him ad
tuir!iig!y, exclaiming:
"You are a knowin old cove!"
Tbe scholar shook bis bead and said
humbly: "I fear I am Ignorant ii
these matters. I have only known threi
women intimately in my life my moth
jr. n-y wife, and my daughter."
"Is that what your daughter did
the young lldy as Is just married?" sh'
isked eagerly.
"I don't know what she did," answer
ed the scholar gently; and Indeed it wa;
true, for the engagement had come up
on him as a bolt from tbe blue while hi
was thinking of Phyllis as still in pina
fores. "Was she very ard to please?" per
sisled the gill.
Hah rbyllis been hard to please? tht
scholar asked himself. He did not
know. It had not taken long to pleas
her, anyhow; so he said: "I dou'l
know if she was hard to please, but )
know that whatever she did was righ
and sweet and womanly, and you cai
do all that yourself my dear."

' -
tn Mavis OtrTtory, Britain's
Hla-beat Mataoraloarical Station.
The observatory on Ben Nevis, Scoi
and. Is tbe highest meteorological sta
:lon In Britain, and tbe scientific results
- obtained there are
tn consequence of
small Importance.
It Is now thirteen
years ago since thlt
observatory was
opened. Tha origi
nal building con
sisted of one room,
but additions were
soon made. A tow
er about eighty feet
n height, which serves the double pur
pose of carrying a set of anemometers
and of providing a convenient exit
when the winter snows bave closed the
ordinary doorway, waa also erected.
Tbe observatory Is substantially built,
and la all of one story, except the tow
er. The dry-stone walls vary in thick
ness from four feet In tho less exposed
parts to ten feet at tha base of the tow
er; the windows are ail double, and the
roof is covered with lead overlaid with
now-boarding.
Although the velocity of the gales on
ffOLB IS MOV 20 FEET DEEP

AT BEN
Ben Nevis frequently exceeds 130 miles
an hour, no damage has been done to
the building beyond the breaking of an
occasional pane of glass. The day of
twenty-four hours Is divided into
watches eight hours long at night nnd
four during the day. Thus there Is al
ways at least one of the observers
practically In the clouds, for roost phe
nomena observed on lien Nevis are of
great interest and be.i".y. As the ob
servers are practically In the clouds for
most of the time, many opportunities
ore afforded for minutely examining
the optical effects of mist or cloud on
the ruys of the sun or moon, when n
ih in. almost imperceptible, film of
Hcud-cloud or mist covers are formed.
These coronae, as is well known, con
sist of colored rings arranged concen
trically round tbe moon or sun. Each
riu has all the usual spectroscopy or
ralnliow colors to more or less perfec
tion arranged with the red belt outside.
In winter when tbe sun is low even at
noon the shadow of a person staudiug
near the cliff that runs all along the
northern side of the mountain Is cast
c lear of the hill and shown In the val
ley below.
Trior to the advance of winter, the
observatory Is stocked with coals,
tinned food, and sundries for nine
months. The provisions are conveyed
on horseback by way of the bridle
path. In winter the telegraph-wire is
the observers' sole means of communi
cating with the lower world. Snow
falls to the depth of fifteen feet nnd ter
rific gales prevail.
Animal life Is somewhat rare on tho
summit, but nn occasional fox or
weasel may Ive observed In the rocks.
Snow limiting build their nests regular
ly In the cliffs ts-Iow the observatory,
ami In winter are quite tame. The ob
servers have on more than one occa
sion caught mice in the building, and
their existence there has given rise to a
good deal of controversy. About a year
ago a live frog was taken to tho ob
servatory, where It has remained ever
since, nnd. nlthough pnrtnklng of noth

lively as when It was taken up.

camping lies In wandering from place
to place and pitching one's tent in a
new R'tot each night, but this Involves
too much lalior. The modern eamiier is
well represented In the scene present
ed, which shows these luxurious Idlers
having afternoon tea after the fatigues
of the day, Usually these pretty, lace
curtained tents with tbir sheltering
I w mugs are pitched near others simi
lar in all particulars, where the advan

occasional dinners may be had. These
tents have lioard floorings, the rain Is
kept off the awning, and if the camp
Is pitched for the summer more than
likely each family has Its flower gar
dens, flags, hammocks and pretty
lamps and lanterns for Jubilee nights.
Summer has seen many such camps
jn the shores of lovely lakes lying near
Chicago, and the cnmiers have enjoyed
themselves better, so they claim, than
the more fashionable visitors at the
crowded summer resorts, which do not
get near enough to Nature to suit the

Rev. Dr. Richard 8. Bust la one ot
the "original abolitionists." Ever since

of the colored people of the land. Be
fore tbe civil war he worked for their
freedom. Since the war be baa worked
to increase their culture. All bis life
long be has been connected with edu

benefit. He has made for himself an
Imperishable record as an agent of civ
ilisation, and bis name will never be
forgotten by the freed men of tbe Uni

England, where revolt against slavery
waa Indigenous, and there was never
any doubt about his willingness to be
classed among the "black Republi
cans," or tbe "greasy mechanics," or
whatever else tbe advocates of the
greatest of national reforms were then
contemptuously called. Perhaps he
was never actually asaulted while
preaching and lecturing for emancipa
tion, but over and over again he had
experiences violent enough to appall
any but the most stout-hearted. Over
forty years ago he became president of
the Freedman's College at Xenla, Ohio,
and while holding this position he had
much to do witb the Insertion of the
clauses against slavery Into the gen
eral Methodist discipline. After tbe
war Dr. Rust was the father of tbe
Methodist policy of extending schools
for f reedmcn all over the South, which
has resulted in about eighty institu
tions that serve as lighthouses of
kuowledge to tbe whole colored race.
For years he has gone up and down the

Cyclists Discarding; Corsets.
It is said that Parisian female cyclists
are doing away to a great extent with
tbe corset. This, however. Is only In a
measure true, and Is based on the fact
that tho ordinary long corset is being
discarded in favor of a shorter stay
somewhat like the "riding" stay. In
fact, adopted by horsewomen. There
Is little doubt, though, that cycling de
serves tbe merit of having caused the
disappearance of tight lacing in many
quarters.

When duty compelled him to rise earli

"How strange," said he to Mme. Cald

THE TURN OF LIFE

methods of living, not one woman in a,
thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing'
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending1
the blood surging to the heart antil it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the
heart were go

toms of a dan

Some elephants are said to be good

aud down mountain and through a
country of steep cliffs, where mules
would not dare to venture, and even
where men And passage difficult. Their
tracks have lieen found upon the very
summit of mouutains over seven thou
sand feet high. In these Journeys an
elephant Is often compelled to descend
hills and mount.-iiu shirs which are al
most precipitous. This Is the way in
which It Is done. The elephant's llrs
manoeuvre Is to kneel down close to
the decMvMy. One foreleg is then cau
tiously passed over the edge and n
short way down the slope, and if he
finds there Is no good spot for a Arm
foothold, he speedily forms one by
stamping Into the soil if it is moist, or
kicking out a footing If it is dry. If
the elephant Is now sure of a good foot
hold, the other foreleg Is brought down
In the same way. Then ho performs
the same work over again with his
feet, bringing both forelegs a little in
advance of the first foothold. This
leaves good places already made for the
bind feet. Now, bracing himself up by
bis bugo, strong forelegs, he draws his
hind legs, SAt one and then the other,
carefully over the edge, where they oc
cupy the first places made by the fore
feet. This is the way the huge animal
proceeds all the way down, zigzag,
kneeling every time with the two hind
legs while he makes foot boles with his
forefeet. Thus the center of gravity
Is preserved, and the huge beast pre
vented from toppHng over on his nose.

Kj Brave Soldiers.
Two grave, quiet-looking men ataod
on tbe steps of a big bouse In Washing
ton some years ago. They were watch
l.ig four bright children get Into a cart
and drive down the street, throwing
back kisses and "good-bys" to 4papa.M
and "papa's" friend, tbe general.
The younger man, and the father,
was General Phil Sheridan, "Fighting
Phil," as he was called In those days.
Another general, an old friend, said:
"Phil, how do yon manage your little
army of four?"
"Don't manage they are mlschlevotu
Boldiers; but what good comrades! All
the good there Is in me they bring out!
Their little mother is a most wonderful
woman, and worth a regiment of offi
cers! John, I often think what pit
falls are In waiting for my small brave
(soldiers all through life. I wish 1
could always help them over."
"Phil, if you could choose for your
little son, from all the temptations
which beset him, the one most to be
feared, what would it be?"
General Sheridan leaned his head

"It would be the curse of strong drink!
Boys are not saints. We are all self
willed, strong-willed maybe full of
courage, and thrift, and push, and
kindness, and charity but woe be to
the man or boy who liecomes a slave to
liquor. Ob! 1 had rather see my little
sou die to-day than see htm carried in
to his mother drunk. One nf my brave
oldler-boy8, ou the fielu, said Just be
fore a battle, when he gave me a mes
sage to his mother, if he should be kill
ed: "Tell her I have kept my promise
to her. Not one 'drink' bave I ever
tasted." The boy was killed. I carried
the message with my own lips to his
mother. She said: "General, that is
more glory for my boy than if he had
taken a city."
General Sheridan and the other
brave man lie tn historic Arlington. A
great white monument marks the
place.
The "little brave soldier, Phil Ju
nior," Is growing tall every year. He,
with his mother aud three pretty sis
ters, keep their soldier's grave beauti
ful with sweet flowers, and still more
beautiful Is the character of the small
soldier, who scorns "strong drink," nnd
declares himself to be a "temperance
boy." Temperance Banner.
About a II use Joker.
An elephant enjoys a Joke as well as
any boy or girl. A writer In Our Ani
mal Friends tells about the antics play
ed by a huge elephant kept in the Zoo
at Paris. He lived In a great inclosure
out tu the open air, so that he had plen
ty of room to roam about. In the same
Inclosure was a very large hippopota
mus, for whose comfort and amuse
ment a great stone basin had liecn built
and tilled with water, and the hipjio
potamus in turn furnished amusement
for the elephant. It was quite early
one morning liefore the hour for ad
mitting the public to the garden when
I noticed the elephant walking around
on the stone edge of the basin, curious
ly watching the hippopotamus.
I felt quite sure that the elephant was
np to some prnnk, and I wrs not mis
taken: for. Just as soon ns the ears nt
the hippoiiotamiis came into view, the
elephant quickly seized one of them
with his trunk 'and gave It a sudden
pull. The enraged hippopotamus lifted
his ponderous head clear out of tho
water nnd snorted and blow; but every
lime he rose to tfike a breath the ele
phant would recommence his antics.
Around and around the Ix-ast would go,
keeping a sharp lookout for the little
ears of the hlppoMt:iinus, which he
would seize the moment they apix-arcd.
Ills evident delight in tensing his huge
neighbor was very comical, and there
could be no doubt that he thoroughly
enjoyed it.
Again, one day, the keejier placed
moiu food for tho hippopotamus In a
corner of the Inclosure, and nt once the
hippopotamus begun to leave the water
to get to it; but the elephant slowly am
bled over to the same corner, and ar
riving there first, he placed his four feet
over the favorite food In such a way
that the hlppo-mtamus could not get at
it, gently swayed bis trunk back and
forth, and acted altogether ns though
he were thero quite accidentally, until
the garden was thrown open to the pul-
llc and he went forward to receive the
daily contributions of bread, cake and
pie, which were always offered him by
his hosts of admirers.
They Know.
Scottish dogs are frequently to he
seen at the kirk. They know, without
being told, the Kirk day, or Sunday,
and are always ready to accompany
their masters to the service.
On entering the sacred building, the

neath the seats and quietly go off i '
sleep. They rest peacefully all through
the service and the sermon that fol
lows until the benediction has been
pronounced.
The moment that has been concluded
by the minister, the dogs, one nnd nil.
Immediately rise, give themselves a
shake and calmly make for tbe door.
In olden days the turnspit dogs (dogs
put In a wheel to turn the spit for roast
ing the meat) used to attend church and
heartily enjoy their rest on the seventh
day.
On one occasion, however, they were
greatly disturbed, as in the course of
the Scripture reading for that Sunday
the word "wheel" was tho signal for
them to turn to their hated labor, and
on bearing It In church the dogs replied
by a low growl.
Again the word came, and another
growl was heard; but when it came for
the third time, the dogs could stand it
no longer, and, giving a continuous
growl, rushed out of the church.
Charley'a rhilnaophy.
Charley and Bessie were two bright
little children, aged three and five re
spectively. Out In the old pepper tree
lu tbe garden a pair of linnets had built
their nest aud hatched five youug ones.
Every day the little ones went to see
how tbe birdies were getting along. One
day when they went to look at them
the birdies flew away. They were all
feathered out. Bessie looked astonish
ed. "How did they ever grow so
quick?" she asked. "'Cause them's
birds," he replied. "Well, but how did
that make any difference?" Bhe Inno
cently asked. "Why don't we be groov
ed, too?" "Oh, my, girls are so stupid,"
Charley replied In disgust. "I guess if
our mamma would sit on us ail the time
we'd get growed up, too." San Fran

remarked a tourist, "when I stoped to
rest in the shade of the village smithy.
The sinHh wns a giant in stature, and,
with the sleeves of his red flannel shirt
rolled up to his brawny shoulder and
his big leather apron on, he was as pic
turesque a son of Vulcan as I ever saw.
"I watched hlni blowing his wheezy
old bellows, and then as he commenced
fashioning a horseshoe be broke out
Into song. It was 'The Armorer's Song,'
from ltohin Hood, that made the sooty
rafters ring.
" Trfst hammer on anvil ring, ring,
ring,' he sang, as he struck the white
.iot iron blow after blow that made the
fiery sparks fly. Then followed the fa-
millnr 'Cling, clang, cling, clang.'
T have beard Cowies sing that a do?.
en times, and I have heard ambition
amateurs sing It all over the world, bin
that song never stirred me as it din
when I heard that blacksmith's mighty
voice singing it over his anvil. I will
never forget It as long as I live."

when Scotland was even stricter In its

"llun," said another, reprovingly, "ye

ArlstocraclAs In different places and
gee hare prided themselves on many
different things. One of the Queerest,
perhaps, 4s the aristocracy axmdftaf t
cheeses, which wbtob prevails amoaa?
the patricians of Zenmatt. Tha aristo
cracy of families Is valued by tha num
ber and age of the cheeses they aoa
wss. Whea a child la born, a cheats) la
manufactured, which Is than called hf
the name of the child. It is partjf
eaten when its namesake gets married,
each wedding guest taotlnc a portion.
The cheese Is then pnt away again, and
finally cut Into and finished at tba fn
, teral of the person whose nam a
ears. When a young man woos a
naiden, he begs to be allowed to dlna
witb her family on a Sunday. His offer
being accepted, the lovers wait anxj
ausiy to see whether the girl's father
will cause the cheese to be set on tha
table. At the end of the long meal.
If all goes well, the master of the honsa
solemnly fetches the cheese bearing
the would-be bride's name, sets It oa
the table, cuts it and gives a piece to
the young couple. When they have
eaten it, they are a betrothed pair.
