Art and Life While the imnieot the Cliuiituu tm Literary uiul Scientific Circle 8iijests the study f two great fields of thought and effort, it must not lie supK)stHl that science and literature are the only lines of study in the Circle. A real culture im plies an outlook over many things. To understand literature, lere uiust Ik; some knowledge of history and art, lx-cause literature concerns it self largely with lioth art and his tory. So among the Ixioks selected for the readings of this year is a IxhiIv that is in reality a History of Art. In this active age there are still some who question the value of knowing anything about the fine arts, it seems to tlicm iuipractic- ahlc It is difiieiilt to siy what is ab solutely iniraeticahle. Art seems so, ami ct so close are all the arts interwoven into oiiv lives, so near is art to us in our houses, churches, streets, in our actual furniture and even dress, that insensibly we are ailectcd by it. A real culture can not leave out art, and the Circle is wise to include among its books a large and fully illustrated volume entitled "Unman and Meda-val Art". The author, W. IT. (ioodyear, is an expert in his subject and a historian of the arts, so that he is prepared to speak with confidence and in detail of the rise ami progress of architec ture, sculpture and painting, as shown in the life of the ancient Ro mans and among the people of Eu rope during the centuries we call Medieval times. The book traces clearly ami in an interesting style the rise from ol seure origins in prehistoric times of that love of the beaiitilul that is ex pressed in the fine arts. It follows the spread of the arts in the wake of conquests and along the paths of commerce, and shows how religions as well as domestic and public life modified the architecture of all Eu rope. The lwiok is illustrated with nearly two hundred excellent pic tures, and is divided into chapters upon the grand divisions of art as shown by diflerent t'unesand peoples. Morris Krdley wishes to inform the parties who are stealing his chickens that he will not lie re sponsible if any one is shot while stealing on his premises. Some Rambling Thought. BY "SEMO. tCopyrtgbted by Daw S TAw." MoKK OsTKK-lt TlloUiHTS: The long-legged lriend of needy milliners, with his downy thighs and tufted, is called in again to point a moral by means of that silly liead which he 1kKs into the sand to shut out all sights of the world I'nlike him, his human counterpart ranges tnroiigh every climate, un honored. Some even are in your community. x us at them and Ik' done with our bird punter for a while. Thou money-lover, with not only head but heart lient down lehiiid a few ringing coins; through a world whose licautics and noblest joys are to thee invisible, the avenger is stealthily approaching. A little twinge or pain somewhere, a little numbness in your brain, a great deal of turning hither and thither, to famed physicians what are these but warnings of your fate? Your tinv heap seems so important toyou that you thrust away the very thought of death and feverishly de sire to feel forever the magic thrill ot wealth within your gra.-p. ion long to gel more; you build it up I., n it aroiuitl vol i like a wan. rooi ; Helped by wealth you may fly on the wings of the morning to the ut termost parts of the earth, but swifter than the shadow of an eclipse the arrow of death will reach you and then what have you ? The heap that you trusted in, as a fortress with trouble-proof bastions, will not save you from the glazing eye and the rattling throat, the clammy sweat and the vague picking at the lied-clothcs. These are yours by a common Immunity and when they come to you, nothing material, can lie taken away inU the darkness. Sotiwihhif cannot lietak en awiiy from nothing ; your life is nothing as you have lived it. You will close your eyes and lie lifeless U'side the beloved wealth that has already closed your eyes to the needs of the palpitating of misery. Hut do 1 intimate that only ordi- 1 1 nary death experiences will conic to you? Nay, if I do, I lie; for there will be an outstretching of other fairer hands toward voiir trohleii heap they arc even now waiting fiir your death in order fo scramble for your jiosscssioiis, and, as likely as not, behind fragments of your soiil's-all will crouch another gen eral ion of Ibols. Is that all? No: Ibr if" you love wealth more than kindness; if you gather from oppressions; if you wrong and cheat in order to rake more and more ai'oiind you, your memory will be crusted over with gangrenous hat reds. Pleasant and wonderfully useful though money may Ik1, have you indeed chose the U'tter part of it in contenting yourself with acqui sitions? Under the effort vour head with its noble powers, is liowcd low er even than the animals, who be getting give and, having done all, stand to serve humanity. Hut you get and give not, and the service of humanity in any form is out of your range of vision ; your head is too low. Thou fashionable woman, hiding thy nakedness lx'hind fniiiipcrics that change with the changing day; contenting thyself with a world lim ited by patterns and rounded out by flounces ; thou art also among the ostriches. Prinking and pruding and philandering, covered with flowers more fair than yourself, von go your way as though the body were more important than the mind, neglectful of the fact that the mind adorned and the gently cultivated will last long after the skin has wrinkled and the eyes have lost their sparkle. Compared with the fabric of your mind, your body is BURNED WITH IRONS TRAIN STRUCK THEMIQQh DnpTS JUIf. Till iDU Vmt ft Imsting there. Yet behind a t'ontcmntible hillock of clothes you bow your beautiful head until you no more sec the wide world of noble womanhood to which you are surely called. How selfish you are ! Your father needs must deck you though his aged head calls for rest; you cry, "(jive, give;" to botli fatVr and husband not that you may make unv return either to them or to the world. You circle around your self, you admire yourself, you get pleasure in humbling these less gorgeous. Do you call that liciiuf! Can you by any stretch of your jH-rverted mind, satisfy yourself that your powers were given you just to fulfill the function of a dress form. If that were all, U'lit wires with cilicia covering could fill your place in the world. Silly ostrich, when the avenger reaches for you, mid your place knows you no more for ever, what will you leave? Clothes! whereat even the servants will flout in a little while. Upon my soul, life is not worth the effort of living, if that is all it can In-nude to bring firth. I.I ve largely ! l-t llfp'n current flow Like Ken'roua Hood from winter hiiow Full, Hwift.autl troi!j, nor lightly Iteut Ity any Htuall impediment. The narrow mind in like (lie Ntreaiu. Tliat Hpurklex lirilit in Kuuimer'i gleam ; Hut tiny roek or fallen tree Will elipck ill journey towurds the sea. Wherefore look wide, and learn to live tin height' whleh true pernpt-etive give, So nothing trivial nhall hide Tin- clear horizon Htretehiug wide. Iift up your heads, () ye ostrich es! Peep out with blinking eyes from Ih-IuikI your fads and your foibles, liaise your heads on high where they belong and then look at life as a whole, with a due sense of proportion, impossible lieforc when you were so near the ground. What do you learn? That no one cares for you, so long as you care only for yourself; that that the love of your fellows is bought with a price, a great price whose chief jiearl is your own self-forgetfulncss; that the soul self-centered has no part in a civilization that is only made of things gained by grain and brawn and then thrown into the common fund of humanity. A Pointer to Postmasters and Employes. The postolliee department has de cided that it will Ik- for the good of the service to change the polity it has heretofore pursued of taking no notice of complaints lodged with it against employes who fail to pay their just debts. As a starter under the new pol icy, First Assistant Postmaster ( ien cral Heath, instructed the post master at Youngstown, ()., to dis miss a clerk in the postolliee there who is charged with persistently disregarding the -requests of his creditors for a settlement of their bills. Similar action will Ik; taken in the eases of other postal employes who fail to pay their bills. That's right make all pay their honest dabts. Noah Stetler Dies Suddenly.

Some time ago Mr. Landor un dertook an exploring expedition Into the wllda of that comparatively un known country, Thibet. Hla Journey was an arduous one, and finally the members of hla company decided to Abandon him. This they carried Into immediate execution, only two poor :oollea remaining faithful. Natlvea of Thibet had been for a iong time on hla track, but he succeed sd through many stratagems in evad ing them. Finally they managed to ?ateh him through an act of treachery. It did not take them lonp to decide lust what they would do with him. A trial, more a farce than anything else, was hold, and he was sentenced to Seath, despite his protests that his visit ;o their country was purely one of curt slty and In the pursuit of his tnvel !nir researches. Not only did they enn-'ls-mn him to die, but dotermlned thtit rte should taste torture before bi-lng llnally dispatched. This sentence was partly carn-1 In to effect.

His suffering whs intense, but the un fortunate man s-ii-n learned that his igony was not yet nt an end. IIo was carried to t!ie execution ground and every arrangement com pleted for endlnrc his life. At the very Ian moment, when Mr. Landor saw death staring him in I lie f.n-o, the grand luinn, foremost chief of the Thibetans, intervened and commuted the prison er's wentence to torture by the stretch ing log. This instrument was a species. In a rude and primitive form, of the rack, and to It he was attached. Hollers were then moved to and fro, with the effect of straining his limbs severely and bnd ly injuring his spine. After being held In chains for eight days and suffering untold torments he was released. Mr. Landor bears 22 wounds as proof of the tortures he underwent. It is a marvel how he survived them. He has for some years occupied a leading position among Asiatic and African travelers, and he has traversed many of the less known parts of Aus tralia and the South American conti nent. His principal publications are "Ko rea, or the Land of the Morning Calm," A Journey to the Sacred Mountain ef Rlao-on-Tal-shan" and "Alone With the Hairy Ainu, or' Three Thousand Eight Hundred Miles on a Pack Saddle." Mr. Landor has written scores of minor narratives of his travels in Ja pan, China,- South Mongolia and the Kurlle islands. The grand lama Is said to be the most opulent individual In existence. The great temple of Iiuddha, which is also the residence of the lama, is a vnst square edifice, covering with Its precincts many acres, its center being "urmounted by a gilded dome. The interior is said to be full of idols. treasure and works of art. The offer- ngs are enormous. Contiguous to the temple on its four sides are four ccle- irated monasteries greatly resorted to by the Chinese nnd Mongols as schools if the Iluddhlst religion and philosophy. Mr. Landor has been commissioned by The Daily Mail to endeavor to reach L'Hassa, the capital city of Thibet and the residence of the grand lama, on an allluent of the Itlver Pan Poo.
