Before us there were three courses possible—to go mad, to die, to sleep. We take the last course, or nature takes it for us. All things take rest In sleep. The beasts, birds, the very flowers, close their eyes, and the streams are still in winter. All things take rest. Then why not the human reason also? So the questioning devil in us drops asleep, and in that sleep a beautiful dream rises for us. Though you hear all the dreams of men, you will hardly flu'l a prattler one than ours. It ran so: In the center of all things Is a Mighty Heart, which, having begotten all things, loves them, and, having born them into life, beats with great throbs of love toward them. No death for his dear insects, no hell for his dear men. no burning up for his dear world, his own, own world that he has made. In the end all will be beautiful. Do not ask us how we make our dream tally with facts. The jflory of a dream Is this -that It despises facts and makes its own. Our dream saves us from froing mad. That Is enough. Its peculiar point of sweetness lay here. When the Mighty Heart's yearn ing of love became too great for other oxpri -sion It shaped itself Into the sweet Hose of heaven, the beloved Man «od Jesus, you Jesus of our dream, how we loved yon! No Bible tells of you as we knew y ti. Your sweet hands held ours fast Your sweet voice said nl v.ays "I am h'-r". my loved one, not far off. Put your arms about me and hold fa>t." We find him In everything in those days. When the little weary lamb we drive home di • it' feet, we seize on It and e;>rrj it with Its head against our face Ills little lamb! We feel we have got him. When the drunken Kaffir lies by the road In the sun. we draw his blanket over his h -ad and put green branches of milk hush on It. His Kaffir -why should the >i:n hurt him? In the evening, when the clouds lift them.'-elvcK like gates and the red lights shine through them, we ery; for In Ktieh glory he will come, and the hand that ache to touch him will hold him. and We shall nee the beautiful hair and eyes of our God. "Lift up your heads, ye gate 1 -, and be ye lifted up. ye everlasting doors, and our King of glory sluill coiue in!" The purple flowers, the little purple flowers, are his eyes, lookiug at us. We kiss them and kneel alone on the flat, rejoicing over them. And the wilder fuss and the solitary place shall be glad for him. and the desert shall re Joicc and bio om a* a rose. If ever In our tearful. Joyful ecstasy the poor sleepy, half dead devil should raNo his l,i .id. Ave laugh at him. It !s not his hour now. "If there should be a hell, after all!" he mutters. "If your God should be ■rue!! If there should be no God! If you should find out It Is all Imaglna Hon! If" We laugh at him. When a man sits In the warm sunshine, do you ask him for proof of It? He feels; that Is all. And we feel; that Is all. We want no proof of our God. We feel, we feel! We do not believe in our <.od because the Bible tells IIS of hill). We believe In the Bible because he tells us of It. We feel him. We feel hlui, we feel; that Is all. And th<' poor half swamped ilevll mutters: "But If the day should come when you do not feel?" And we laugh and cry him down. "II will never come never!" And the poor devil slinks to sleep again with his tall between his legs I'leree assertion many times repeated Is hard to stiind against. Only time separates the truth from the He. So we dream on. One day we go with oir father to town, to church. The t vnspcople rus tle In theh silks and i '».• meii in their sleek cloth and settlr themselves In their pews, and the light shines In through the windows on the artificial flowers In the women's tymnets. We have the same miserable feeling that we have In a shop where all the clerks are very smart. We wish our father hadn't brought us to town and we were out on the "karroo," Then the man In the pulpit begins to preach. Ills text is, "lie that belleveth not shall be damned." The day before the magistrate's clerk, who was an atheist, has died In the street, s|ruek by lightning. The man lu the pulpit incut lons no name, but In- talks of "the hand of Cod made visible among us." lie tells us how, when the white stroke fell, quivering and naked, the soul fled, rob bed of his earthly filament, and lay at the footstool of God; how over Its head has been poured out the wrath of the Mighty (me, whose existence it has denied, and, quivering and terrified, It has fled to the everlasting shade. We, hm we Kitten, luilf Htnrt up. Kv ery drop of Mood In our h«ty l». : . runli <•< 110 our bend. lie lien, lie Keg, lie Hen! Thai 1111111 In the pulpit 1 I«-M ! Will tin one MIOJI hi in?

Have they not known, have they not heard, who It IH rule*? Tor a little moment have I hidden my face from thee, hut with evcrbtM lug klfidneHM will I have mercy upon thee, Kilth 'he l,onl thy lledeemer." We mutter on to OUI i-lve* till Home one pull* u« violently hy the arm lo re mind ui we ore In church. We HPO nothing hut our own hlcim. I'ri -ntly every one turn* to pray. I There are <V»I HOUIN lifting thcuiwlve* to the Kvei hi-ting I.lglit.

It In HN though they thought more of the singing than the Everlast ing Father. Oh, would l! not be more worship of him to sit alone in the "kar roo" and kiss one Utile purple flower that he had made? Is It not mockery? Then the thought comes. "What doest thou here, Elijah?" We who judge— what are we better than they? Rather worse. Is it any excuse to say. "I am but n child and must come?" Does God allow any soul to step In between the spirit he made and himself? What do we there In that place where all the words are lies against the All Fa ther? Pilled with horror, we turn and floe out of the place. <>:: the pavement we smite our foot and swear In our child's sou! never again to enter those places where men come to sing and pray. We are questioned afterward. Why was it we went out of the church? How can we explain? We stand silent. Then we are pressed further, and we try to tell. Then a bead is shaken solemnly at us. No one can think it wrong to go to the house of the Lord. It is ihe Idle excuse of a wicked boy.. When will we think seriously of our souls and love going to church? We are wicked, very wicked. And we —we slink away and go alone to cry. Will it be always so? Whether we hate and doubt or whether we believe and lore, to our dearest nre we to seem always wicked? We do not yet know that in the soul's search for truth the bitterness lies here —the striving cannot always hide It self among the thoughts. Sooner or later It will clothe Itself In outward action. Then It steps in and divides lietween the soul and what It loves. All things on earth have their price, and for truth we pay the dearest. We barter It for love and sympathy. The road to honor Is paved with thorns, but on the path to truth, at every step you set your foot down on your own heart. . v '-', Then at last a new time—the time of waking, short, sharp and not pleasant, as wakings often are. Sleep and dreams exist ou this con dition that no one wake the dreamer. And now life takes us up between her finger and thumb, shakes us furi ously till our poor nodding head Is well nigh rolled from our shoulders, and she sets tm down a Utile hardly on the bare earth, bruised and sore, but preter uaturally wide awake. We have said In our days of dream -1 ig: "Injustice and wrong are a se«-in in;r. I'aln Is a shadow. Our God, he Is real, he who made all things, and he only Is love." Now life takes us by the neck ami shows lis a few other things newmade graves with the red sand (lying about them, eyes Hint we love with the worms eating them, evil men walkin sleek and fat, the whole terrible hnrly burly of ili<' thiiiK called life and she cays, "What do you think of these?" We dare not say "Nothing." We feel thern They are very real But we try to lay our hands about and feel that other tiling we felt before. In the dark night In the fuel room we cry to our beautiful dream Rod: "Oh. let us come near you and lay our head against your feet. Now In our hour of need be near us." But lie Is not there. Tie Is gone away. The old <|iiestlonln>{ devil Is there. We must have been awakened sooner or later. The Imagination cannot al ways triumph over reality, the desire over truth. We must have been awak ened. If H was done a little sharply, what matter? It was done thorough ly, and It lunl to be done. VII. And a new life begins for us, a new time, a life as cold a:< that of a man who sits on the pinnacle of an Iceberg and sees the glittering crystals all about him. 'l'he old looks Indeed like a long, hot delirium, peopled with phantasies. The new Is cold enough. Now we have no God. We have had two tie- old < lod that our fathers handed down to us, that we hated and never liked; the new One that we made for ourselves, that we loved. But now he has flitted away from us, and we see what he was made of the shadow of our highest Ideal, crowned and throned. Now we have no God. "The fool hath said In Ids heart, There Is no IJod." It may be M>. Most things said or written have b*>n the work of fools. This thing Is certain he Is a fool who says, "No man hath sahl lu his heart, There Is no God." It has been said many thousand times In lnarts with profound bitter ness of earnest faith. We do not cry and weep. We sit down with Cold eyes and look at the world. We are not miserable. Why should we be? We eat and drink and sleep all night, hut the dead are not colder. And we say It slowly, but without sighing: "Yes; we see It now. There Is no ilod." And, we add, growing a little colder yet: "There Is no Justice, The ox dies In the yoke beneath Its master's whip. It turns Its anguish filled eyes on the SUIIIIKIII, but there Is no sign of recom pense to l«» made It. The black man Is shot like a dog, and It goes well with the shooter. The luuocclit are accused, and the accuser triumphs. If you will lake tlio trouble to scratch the surface anywhere, you will see under the skin a sentient being writhing In Impotent anguish." Ami, we say further, and our heart Is as the heart of the dead for coldness: "There ts no order. All things are driven about by a blind chance." What a soul drinks In with lis moth er's milk will not leave It In a day. From our earth- i hour we have been taught ttint tlx' thought of the heart, the shaping of the ralucloud, the amount of wool that grows ou a sheep's back, the length of a draft and the growing of the corn depend on nothing that moves Immutable, at the heart of all things; but mi Hie changeable will of a changeable being whom our prayers can alter. To us, from the beginning, nature has been but a poor, plastic thing, to be toyed with this way or thai, as man happens to please his deity or not. to go to church or not. to say his prayers right or not, to travel on a Sunday or not.

It IH not the work of a day to Hipjeezo them out. And no, for tin, the humanlike driver and guide !•>■ :)£ jrone, all existence, as we look out at It with our chilled, won swell of shifting waters. In all that weltering chaos we can see no spot so large as a man's hand on which we may plant our foot. Whether a man believes in a human like God or no is a small thing. Wheth er he looks into the mental and phys ical world and sees no relation be tween cause and effect, no order but a blind chance sporting, this is the mightiest fact that can be recorded in any spiritual existence. It were al most a mercy to cut his throat, if in deed iie does not do it for himself. We, however, do not cut our throats. To do so would Imply some desire and feeling, and we have uo desire and no feeling. We are only cold. We do not wish to live, and we do not wish to die. One day a snake curls itself round the waist of a Kaffir woman. We take it In our hand, swing it round and round and fling it on the ground—dead. Ev ery one looks at us with eyes of admi ration. We almost laugh. Is it wonder ful to risk that for which we care nothing? In truth, nothing matters. This dirty little world full of confusion, fnd the blue rag str- tihcd overhead for a sky is so low we could touch It with our hand. Existence is a great pot. and the old fate who stirs it round cares nothing what rises to the top and what goes down and laughs when the bubbles burst. And we do not care. I.et it boil about. Why should we trouble ourselves? Nevertheless the physical sensations are real. Hunger hurts, and thirst; therefore we eat and drink. In action pains us; therefore we work like galley slaves. No one demands it, but We set ourselves to build a great dam In red sand beyond the graves. In the gray dawn before the sheep are let out we work at It. All day, while the young ostriches we tend feed about us. we work on through the fiercest heat. The people wonder what new spirit has seized us now. They do not know we are working for life. We bear the greatest stones and feel a satisfaction when we stagger under them and are hurt by a pang that shools through our chest. While we eat our dinner we carry on baskets full of earth, as though the devil drove us. The Kaffir servants have a story that at night a witch and two white oxen come to help us. No wall, they say, could grow so quickly under one man's hands. At night, alone in our cabin, we sit no more brooding over the fire. What should we think of now? All is empti ness. So we take the old arithmetic, and the multiplication table, which with so much pains we learned loug ago and forgot directly, we learn now in a few hours and never forget again. We take a strange satisfaction lu working arithmetical problems. We pause In our building to cover the stones with figures and calculations. We save money lor a Latin grammar and an algebra and carry them about in our pockets, poring over them as over our Bible of old. We have thoiiglft we were utterly stupid, incapable of remembering anything, of learning anything. Now we find that nil Is easy, lias a new soul crept Into this old body, that even our Intellectual faculties are changed? We marvel, not perceiving that what a man ex pends In prayer and ecstasy he cannot have over for acquiring knowledge. You never shed a tear or create a beautiful Image or quiver with emo tion but you pay for It at the practical, calculating end of your nature. You have just so much force. When the one channel runs over, the other runs dry. And now we turn to N'ntusu. All theso years we have lived l>csl«le her, and we have never seen her. Now we open our eyes and look at her. The rocks have been to us a blur of brown. We bend over them, and the disorganized masses dissolve Into a many colored, many shaped, carefully arranged form of existence, here mass es of rainbow tinted crystals half fused together, (here bands of smooth gray mid red methodically overlying each other. This rock here Is covered with a delicate silver tracery, in some mineral resembling leaves and branch es. There on the flat stone, on which we so often have sat to weep and pray, we look down and see It covered with the fossil footprints of great birds and the beautiful skeleton of a llsli. We have often tried to picture In our mind what the fosslled remains of creatures must be like, and all the while we sat on them. We have been so blinded by thinking and feeling that we have nev er seen the world. The fiat plain has been to us u reach of monotonous red. We look at It, and every handful of sand sturts Into life. That wonderful people, the ants, we learn to know; see them make war and peace, play and work, and build their huge palaces. And that smaller people we make acquaintance with who live In the flowers. The bltto flower has been for us a mere blur of yellow. We find Its heart composed of a hun dred perfect (lowers, the homes of the tiny black people with red stripes, who move In and out In that little yellow city. HJvory bluebell has lis Inhabitant. Every day the "karroo" shows us u new wonder sleeping In lis teeming bosom, on our way to work we pause and stand to see the ground spider make Its trap, bury itself lu the sand and then wait for the falling lu of Its enemy. Farther on walks a horned beetle, and near him starts open the door of a spider, who peeps out care fully and quickly pulls It down again. On a "karroo" bush a green fly Is lay ing her silver <-KKS. We carry them homo and see the shells pierced, the spoiled grub come out, turn to a green lly and flit away. We are not satisfied with what Na ture shows us and will see something for ourselves. Under the white hen we put a dozen eg«s and break one dally to sco the white spot wo* Into the chicken. We are not excited or enthusiastic about it. But a man Is not to lay his throat open. He must think or something Ho we plant seeds lu rows oil our dam wall and pull oue up dally to see how It goes with them. Alladeen burled her wonderful stone, and a golden palace sprang up at her feet. We do far more. We put a brown seed In the earth, and a living thing starts out -starts upward why, no more than Alladeen can we say - starts upward, and does not desist till It Is higher than our heads, sparkling with dew In the early morning, glitter ing with yellow blossoms, shaking brown seeds with little embryo souls on to the ground. We look at It sol emnly from the ilnto It consists of two leaves peeping above the ground and a soft white root till we have to raise our faces to look at It, but we find no reuNou for that upward Mnrtlng.

A gander drowns itself in our dam. We take it out and open it on the bank and kneel, looking at it. Above are | the organs divided by delicate tissues; i below are the intestines artistically i curved in spiral form and each tier j covered by a delicate network of blood , vessels standing out red a* .mst the ; faint blue background. Each branch . of the blood vessels is comprised of a j trunk, bifurcating and rebifurcating ' into tile most delicate hairlike threads, ( symmetrically arranged. We are j struck with its singular beauty. And, ; moreover (and here we drop from our kneeling into a sitting posture), this , also we remark —of that same exact i shape and outline Is our thorn tree j seeu against the sky in midwinter; of i that shape also is delicate metallic tracery between our rocks; in that exact path does our water flow when without a furrow we lead it from the dam; so.shaped are the antlers of the horned beetle. llow are these things related that such deep union should exist between them all? Is it chance, or arc they not all the fine branches of «ne trunk, whose sap flows through ut all? That would explaiu it We nod over the gander's Inside. This thing we call existence, is it not a something which has its roots far down below in the dark and Its branches stretching out into the Im mensity above •*i»ich we among the branches cannot see? Not a chance jumble, a living thing, a One. The thought gives us intense satisfaction. We cannot tell why. We nod over the gander, then start up suddenly, look into the blue sky, throw the dead gander and the refuse Into the dam and go to work again. And so it comes to pass in time that tiie earth ceases for us to be a welter ing chaos. We walk in the great hall of life, looking up and round reveren tially. Nothing is despicable; all Is meaning full. Nothing is small; all Is part of a whole whose beginning and end we know not. The life that throbs In us is a pulsation from It. too mighty for our comprehension, not tno small. And so it comes to pass at last that, whereas the sky was at tlrst a small blue rag stretched out over us and so low that our hands might touch It, pressing down on us, it raises itself Into an Immeasurable blue arch over our heads, and we begin to live again.

PARTS OF THE BODY. MODELS THAT ARE USED THE STUDY OF ANATOMY. They Are Taken I'rom Subjeels In the MorKuei and Ho»|ilt«tla of I'aria and Are Colored Exactly to Repre sent Nature. lu the window of an oculist up town is a display which is grewaomely ftis- I ciuiiting. It is coursed of papier i muche representations of parts aud or gans at the human body, colored simi lar to uaiure. Some are life size, such as a pair of lungs and a stomach, but ! others, an eye and an ear for instance, i are large enough to have belonged to the giant who was knocked out by Jack. A weird model of a head dem onstrates unpleasantly how you would look if your skin were peeled off your face. Every veiu aud nerve and mus cle Is carefully outlined aud colored. A figure displaying the entire iuterlor of a torso, colored to represent nature, shows us that all sorts of tints go to make us up iuslde. One is apt to think of oneself as being of one harmonious red interiorly, but this Is all wrong. It appears. Studying these figures sets oue won dering where they come from and who models them. It would be an occupa tion cougeniai to few. one would sup pose. A gentleman who came to the door for a moment courteously answer ed a lot of questions asked by an in quisitive person. "These models," said he, "are all made in Germany aud France. There are none made In this country. Yes, the manufacturer's assistants make their originals in clay, working direct ly from subjects obtained In hospitals and morgues. Azou of Paris is the largest manufacturer of this line of goods. They make models of sections of animals also. For instance, we now have an order for a deer. Come Inside and let me show you more of the things." A glass case In the rear of the store was tilled with all sorts of parts of all sortß of animals, human and otherwise.

One side demonstrated the muscle forma tion und the other the veins nud nerves and arteries. This figure ciui lie bought for s.">oo by any oue who wishes such an ornament. Then there were genuine skulls and skeletons. The French excel us also lu the preparation of human bones for the market. An articulated skull of American workniiinshlp would cost SO. A skull of French articulation was priced at and the work was admirable. All the most delicate little bones were carefully preserved and ar ranged, and It wus subdivided Into many small parts, held together with tiny brass hinges. The top of the skull wns suwed evenly off, so as to form a sort of cap, but the other openings seemed irregular and dovetailed. This was explained thus: "Do you know how they separate a skull Into its various parts? Well, they pack It full of sawdust, which they then wet. The sawdust expands und bursts the skull upnrt along Its natural joinings or sutures. These are thou hinged ami wired, as you see. It all requires most delicate manipula tion by mi expert. Trumond of Paris Is tho leading artist In skulls and bones.

Vet, like many of th« truly great, lie had a heart as tender as a woman's. The uight ou which he started from I.oudou to govern India he gathered all his family In the draw ing room and made each child repeat a favorite hyuin to him. His youngest sou. 10 years old, nestled In his fa ther's arms. Suddenly the strong man burst into tears. "I shall never," he cried, "see Bertie a child again!" It was not of the hardships before him or of his own death he thought, but of the fact that Bertie would not be a child to him ou his return. On board the steamer with the gov ernor general of India wus a lady with her infant child. She neglected the baby, which revenged itself by crying day and night. The passengers com plained In language more forcible than polite. "Steward, throw that baby over board!" wns petulantly shouted from sleepless berths. At last I.ord Lawrence, seeing that the child was left motherless by its own mother, took it on his knee. For hours he would hold It, showing it his watch and anything that would amuse it. The child took to the great, strong man ami was always quiet when he held It. "Why do you, my lord," asked one of the relieved passengers, surprised to see the governor general of India playing nurse to a crying baby, "why do you take such notice of that child?" "Because, to tell you the truth," an swered Lord Lawrence, with a merry twinkle in his eye, "that child Is tho only being In the ship who I can feol quite sure does not want to get any thing out of me."—Pastimes. Ntorktnu Hnprratllloni, On the Welsh border It used to be considered that the surest precaution against witchcraft was to wear the left stocking wrong side out. This leads us to another kind of superstition connected with the harmless, necessary hose—their value, when properly worn or arranged, as charms or as protec tions against sickness or pain, if you will only take the trouble when you go to bed to cross your stockluge and shoes, you will be quite safe from the grip of cramp. Again, If you hang your stockings crosswise at the foot of the bed, with a pin stuck In them, you ueed have no fear of nightmare; tho hag has a holy horror of cross and pin. Wiseacres have also beeu heard to de clare that If you will always put your left stocking und shoe on Ilrst you will enjoy Immunity from toothache. This, however, the most superstitious of mor tals will likely take leave to doubt.
