It is their first Impulse to avoid strnlghtforwardness.nnd they plungo ahead lu conversation, simply trying to got around point after point It is a mis take and a mlsfortuno to form such a hab it It grows on tho victim, and It increases its power. In nlno caaes out nf ton, tho simplo foots would bo easily told, ana tho tolling moro advantageous than oithor con cealment or n falsohood, but tho habit has been encouraged to misrepresent or con ooal, and tho wholo mental naturo ex hausts its fertility in a purposo not to bo open nnd honest When this appears in n porson of good ability, mild disposition and industry, it Is lamontablo. Tho power of lying as a habit to grow is amazing. Tho reason probably is that the liar lies to himself as badly as ho docs to others that is, ho tries to bollovo ho is truthful until ho believes what ho says is true, or at loast Is uncertain obout it I fcnow ono or two persons with whom you may say lying Is a chronio dlseaso.

Tho most noted politicians of tho Tweed ring poured out champngno there. Its bird! were always well cooked, its steaks woro marrowed to a turn, its oysters had tho call, and Its whisky was famous. It was tho plaza for tho actors until long after tho war. Thoy stood in clusters all round its stops and held council in its vestibule, for all tho noted chophouses woro in tho neighborhood. Bound tho corner, In Houston street, woro tho Houso of Lords and Clifton'?, and up on tho other end of tho block was tho Hovcro Houso. From that corner down you could moot on a pleasant day all tho famous actors In town E. L. Davenport, Tom Placido, Burton, Dion Bouclcault, James W.

It was Jammed with peoplo on tho night of tho cablo celebration and on tho day that Sumter was flrod on. Thero was, In fact, no such center abovo it on Broadway, and its walls must havo rung with tho voices of many great captains and celebrated beauties. Thoro aro peoplo In New York who can remember when Nlblo had a garden there.

Then later tho theater spread out into a great auditorium, and Mr. A. T.

But at this tlmo tho theater was In tho full swing of popular success. Tho enor mous success of tho "Black Crook" had socurod all tho commercial visitors In town. It was denounced by tho pulpit, but never waned In attractivoncss for years. Agents wero kept in Europe to snap up evory specialty thoy could find, and such was tho pliability and capacity of tho pcrforinonco that it swallowed up everything, from a performing goat to a prima ballerina assoluta.

An ISplscopnllnn's Only Experience With Immersion Tho Methodist Trencher nnd the Fishing Hoy Tho Marblehcnd Divine and tho Flvrco Hull. An Episcopalian olorgyman, now dead, used to rolato an oxpcrlonco ho onco had, which convulsed his congregation with laughter and nearly broko up his services for tho day. Ho win tho rector of a church in Connecticut. Ono day as tho tlmo for tho annual visi tation of tho bishop was approaching, and ho was preparing n class for confirmation, ho was sont for to visit a woman who de sired to talk with htm on tho subjoct of baptism. Tho woman, who was very stout, weighing somcwhoro In the neighborhood of 300 pounds, Informed him that sho had long been attracted toward tho Episcopal church, but had refrained from uniting with It becauso sho had strong convictions In regard to baptism and felt" that she ought to bo Immersed. Tho minister told hor that, although tho church bellovcd pouring or sprinkling to bo valid boptlsm, It did not prohibit immersion, though, as it was a somowhat Inconvenient method, it was not often used. Ho pointed out tho difficulties in tho way, saying that ho had no fount In the church largo enough for such a purpose, and that there was no rlvor or beach in tho vicinity. In reply sho suggested that ho obtain permission to use tho Baptist church, which had a largo baptistry under tho pulpit platform. This ho consented to do, though with much misgiving. The consent of tho Baptist brethren was read ily obtained. Tho noxt Suncuy Episcopal services wero held in tho Baptist, church. At tho proper tlmo in tho servico tho candidate for baptism wont forward, and, with tho minister, wont down Into tho baptistry. All went well until it camo tlmo for tho Immersion. Thon tho minister for tho first tlmo realized his inoxpcrlcnco in adminis tering that form of baptism. When ho at tempted to Immcrso tho woman, his foot slipped, and they both went under tho water togothor. Ho hastily scrambled to his feot, but, to his constorntion and horror, found, when ho attempted to ralso tho woman, that sho could not bo moved. There sho lay liko so many pounds of lead floundemg in tho water and screaming for dear llfo. In vein ho tugged nnd pulled. Sho could not be oven started. iFinaily soveral men in tho congregation wont to tho nsslstoncoof tho minister, and by their united efforts succeedod In bring ing tho frightened women to her feet The mon wero wot to tho skin, having boon obliged to go into tho baptistry. Tho congregation struggled with its pontup laughter, but finally it burst forth In n roar which could not bo suppressed. Tho sorviccs wero continuod with groat diffi culty, and tho minister drow along breath of relief when thoy wero ended. Boys In church, as Is well known, aro not infrequently thocauso of great annoy nnco to clergymen. Somo .years ago a Methodist minister was delivering a ser mon with a good deal of earnestness whon his attention was attracted to a boy in tho1 gallory. Tho youngstor was leaning ovor tho rail and apparently lowering some thing attached to a cord, which ho occa sionally pulled up, whon ho would throw it ovor again with moro gusto than over. Do what ho would tho proachcr could not keep his eyes off that boy. Shifting 1.1s position in tho pulpit slightly, ho had a hotter opportunity to sco what was going on and observed that on old gentleman in a pow under tho gaV lory had fallen nbleep and was sitting with his head back and his mouth wldo opoh. Seeing tlrfc, tho boy had attached a cork to a string nnd was endeavoring to lower it into tho old man's mouth. Ho camo near succeeding several times, aud as tho cork gently swayed to and fro It oc casionally tickled tho sloeper's nos6. At such times ho would stir o llttlo uneasily nnd brush It away with his hand, to tho ovldent delight of tho grinning youngstor. Tho wholo scono was so exceedingly com ical that tho minister camo near laughing outright. At length ho was obliged to beckon to tho sexton nnd request him to put an end to the boy's fishing for tho day or elso send him somowbero clso to do it An uucomfortablo oxperlenco which bo fell Parson Bartlett, n Unitarian minis ter, somo years ago, used to bo related by his olorlcnl brethren with n good deal of gloc. Tho parson had been invited to ox cbango pulpits with a clergyman in Sa lem, and It being n delightful Sunday In tho spring the parson walked across tho Holds from his homo in Marblchcad, start ing early enough In tho morning to bo on timo when tho hour for Eoryico arrived. Tho oongrcgatlon assembled at tho usual tlmo, but no minister appeared. Minutes passed into a halt hour, and from that into an hour, and it began to bo apparent that thero would bo no services that morning. Just as. the congregation was about to dis perse tho parson orrlvcd. Ho was covered with mud from head to feet. His coat wos torn, his bat battorcd, nnd a telltale streak on his shirt front exposed his darling vico of chewing tobacco. An explanation was In ordor and was given. Whilo tho parson was sauntering lolsuroly along, enjoying tho bracing morning air and tho picturosquo vlows, thinking now and thon of tho points in his sermon, ho hoard a hollowing bohlud him, and, looking around, saw n belliger ent bull, with bis nostrils dilated and his tail In tho air, rushing directly for him. Tho purson ran for a wall near by and jumped Into tho noxt Hold. But tho bull was not to bo oludod in that way. Ho was over os soon as his clorlcal victim, Tho parson jumped over tho wall again into tho field ho had left, but tho bull was thero before ho was. In this way thoy kept up tho jumping ond running, first ovor ono wall, thon ovor another, until by sealing o fonco tho parson reuched tho opon road. Tho bull was thus brought to a standstill and ran off snorting doflanco.

"Tho English tourist is often n surpris ing person," said a railroad official, "and I havo frequently had cause to wonder nt him. Somo tlmo ago I had. an oxporlonco with two English tourists that wan out of tho ordinary. I was In a largo western city in chargo of tho passenger business of o transcontinental railroad which ran two Bpcclal trains a weok to tho Pacifio coast. Ono afternoon I was about to oloso my desk and go homo whon tho local ticket agent camo into my ofilco with two young men. It was not nccossary to look at thorn twlco to understand that thoy wore Englishmen. Thoy were tho typical toll, big boned, blond haired mon whom ono recognizes Immediately as being Eng lish. They wero dressed In ultra English stylo nnd carried thomsolves with tho self confldonco and Independence of men who thoroughly bolieve In themselves and aro utterly indifferent to tho estimate placed upon them by others. I call them men, though they could not have been over 18 or 19 years old. Tho agent told mo that thoy wished to seo mo about n matter of business. I assured them that I was at their disposal and waited, wondering what thoy could wont of mo. Tho taller of tho two noted as spokesman. " 'Wo want to got'to San Francisco,' ho said, 'in tlmo if connect with tho next steamer for Japan.' " 'I am very Borry,' I replied, 'but our special train which connects with tho stoamor passed through hero two hours ago.' "They looked serious at this, but did not seem overcome. 'I suppose,' said tho tall ono, 'that tho next regular train will bo too late to con nect with tho steamer.' " 'Oh, yes,' said I, 'you would bo do lay ed about a weok in San Francisco I' " 'Oh, that will never dol' ho replied. 'Wo must catch that steamer. You will havo to mako somo arrangement by which wo can overtake this spoclal train.' "I was paralyzed by tho cool assuranco With which ho suggested this. Tho train ho wished to ovcrtako was known as tho Golden Goto spoclal and was a record breaker. It was ono of tho fastest trains on our road, and wo wero proud of tho tlmo it made, yot hero wero a couplo of youngsters who wanted to know whether thoy could not arrongo to catch it with tho samo calmness that they might havo asked for a cup of coffco. I smllod on thorn pityingly. " 'Don't you know,' said I, 'that this is on exceptionally fast train, and that It is almost impossiblo to beat Itf Why, evon if it wero possiblo to do what you asked, the oxpense would put it out of tho ques tion.' "Thoy listened calmly and without chango of expression. Then tho ono who had spoken beforo said: " 'Yes, I know all about that, but wo havo got to catch that boat. Wo are at tached to tho British embassy at Tokyo and have been traveling on a lcavo of ab sonco. Our tlmo will bo up tho vory day thut that boat reaches Japan. Wo must be there at that, tlmo, bocauso wo havo promised to. Wo had Intended to catch tho previous boot, but wo wore having such a good timo that wo thought wo would chance It nnd wait over. Now, noth ing can be allowed to lntcrforo with our plan.' " 'Well,' I said, 'I don't soo how I can aid you, sorry as I may bo for you.' "The Englishman looked at me In a bored sort of way and said: " 'I don't seo why thero is any need of arguing about this. Wo want u special train to overtako that special, and if we can't do it any other way wo will havo to follow it across tho continent.' "I looked in amazement at theso two clorks that is what they amounted to, I supposo, at least what we would consider them in this country who wero coolly asking for a special train to cross tho con tinent I was not at nil convinced that thoy appreciated the enormity of their do mand. In fact, I folt moro amused than credulous. "'I supposo,' I said,. 'you havo some idea of what it will cost you to do this?' " 'Oh, wo aro willing to pay whatever It Is,' was tho reply in a drawling tono. " 'It will cost you $300 If wo overtako tho special at hor first stop,' sold I, '$500 If wo havo to wait for tho second stop and $1,000 if wo go clear across. It is barely possible that wo can mako a connection nt tho first stop.' "Tbo Englishman mado no other reply than to thrust his hand into his trousers pocket and pull out a big roll of bills. Ho counted out $1,000 and laid them down on tho desk. " 'Of course,' he said, 'I presume if wo make tho connection that you spoak of I will got back what I have paid In excess.' "I saw thon that ho was in earnest. I took out $800 to guarantee us and returned the rest to him with tho understanding that he was to pay the conductor, If ho missed tho first connection, according to tho terms I hadoutllnod. I at onco set the machinery In motion to got out tho train. It required a good deal of work. In the first placo, wo had no engine in which tho flrowas up and found it would save time to havo ono brought on from another sta tion. Then wo had to 6end foranenglnoer who would bo capable of running tho train at the high rate of speed that was de manded and still avoid unnecessary risks. As ours was Jn the main only a single track road, we had to telegraph all along tho lino to keep tho track clear of freight trains nnd orrango to huvo the ordinary passonger trulns side tracked at conven ient times and places. Altogothor about four hours wero token up in these prelim inaries. During that timq tbo English men loafed around, looking very bored ond not at all interested in our efforts to hurry things. Wbon it wos announced that tho train was ready, they Invited me to drink to tho succoss of their trip in a bottlo of wlno, a condescension on thoir part that amazed mo, nnd the last I saw of them thoy woro bowing from the rear platform of their car as the train wont Hying out of tho dopot. Thoy mado tho connection at tho first junction, as I loomed that night by tologroph. How thoy eor did It I don't know, but I have n shrowd suspicion that they bribed the conductor and engineer to run tho train at r. rate never known beforo, and that would have been condomned by tho higher outborltles If thoy had heard of it "Now York Sun.

GrtATITUDE OF A SIOUX SQUAW. Anxiety While Dying of nn Indian Womib to Fulfill Iler Promise. A woman on tho West Sido whoso early ?rodilcotlons created a projudlco against ndlnns Is now r frlond of tho decaying raco. It camo nbout In a pretty way, and tho Incident has also a sorrowful tlngo. A Sioux Indian and his squaw, whom tho woman's husband had known out west, woro returning from Europo, whoro thoy had beon ns attaches of Buffalo Bill's Wild Wost. When thoy camo to Chicago, thoy stepped over a day ond hunted up tho palofaco whom thoy had known out wost. Ho hired a corrlngo ond took them out to his homo, which surprised hla wlfo not a; llttlo, nnd thoro thoy woro ontortnined. Tho squaw spoko no language but hor own. Her man know enough English to make hlmsolf understood. Both woro In thoir visiting colors. They didn't liko tho bluo points nnd oysters, but wbon tho roast bcof (wo-haw) wos brought on tho eyes ot tho squaw bulged out, and sho clapped her hands. Sho dovoured it sllco by sllco and In a mannor calculated to shock tho wlfo of tho palcfaco. Aftor dinner the tquaw sang for tho palofoco woman and hor papooses to show gratitude. Then, through hor mon, sho hod tho palofaco woman tako off hor shoos and stand on a shcotof paper. Tho squaw took a bit of penoll nnd drow tho shopo ot tho foot. Tho squaw's man Informed tho palcfaco woman that sho would mako and send hor n pair of split bood moccasins from tho tcpeo as soon as they could be mado. Tho Indians went nwoy that night, westward bound, and months passed by. Tho Wost Sido wlfo playfully chldcd her husband nbout his lavish entertainment of tho reds nnd their mock gratltudo. Ho said, "Walt." In a yoar from the time of, tho visit a packago was delivered to thoj houso. It was opened, and there wero tho spilt bead moccasins mado by tho squaw.-' There also was tho Information that sho hod died about tho tlmo tho moccasins wore completed. ( In ,n crude sort of way, but all tho moro tender on account of its simplicity, tho Indian explained that his squaw would havo sent tho moccasins sooner, but sho hnd been sick, and hor work hod been do luycd, nnd that sho was afraid sho would not llvo to keep her word to tho paleface woman who hadentcrtnlncdhcrwlth such good wo-haw. Thcro wero somo tondcr words spoken. In tho homo of tho West Sldo palofaco that night, and oven now, when tho wlfo of tho palofaco tolls tho Incident, thoro is a slight tromulntion in tho Hps and a moisture nbout tho eyes. Chicago Tlmos. Upward lightning Strokes. It Is hard for tho mind to concoivo of a lightning Hash taking other than n down-, ward course whon it strikes objects on tho earth's surfaco, but thoro aro many well authenticated cases of tbo bolt taking tbo opposlto direction. A caso in mind hap pened at Manchester In August, 1888, whoro tho bolt was distinctly seen to strike tho base of a largo cast iron chimney and. then to tako an upward slant, burning a crooked river in tho metal from tho point ot contact to tho top, whoro It escaped Into tho atmosphere nnd exploded In tho man ner of an immenso flro ball. At Monticcllo, la., on Juno SI, 1803, a. tree near tho resldonco of G, H. Gcorgo was struck by a lightning flush and torn in a manner which clearly Indicated that tho current had passed upward from the earth.. The director of tho Iowa weather sorvico corps tolls me that, whllo upward light ning strokes aro reckoned as freaks and phenomena by tho layman, thoy aro not of Infrequent occurrence nnd have often beer reported by meteorological observers. In ono or two of tho Solomon Islands nnd at soveral places on tho Indian ocean coast of Africa tho upward stroke is sold to bo the rulo and tho downward tho ex ception. St. Louis Republic Whistler and tho Amnteur. When James McNeill Whistler wont to Vonico to mnko thoso 14 famous etchings of his, ho boenmo so intoxicated with Ita boouty that hq mode 70 pastels first, leav ing ills otchlngs till tho lost few doys. Theso pastels mado a tremendous sensa tion. All tho nrt world of Venice was car ried away with enthusiasm, excepting a Russian painter, who declared them tricks, betting a basket of chumpagne be could paint six not to bo distinguished from them. Mr. Whistler amiably gave somo of hla paper and six pastels, which woro finally mixed up with thoso by tho Rus sian nnd submitted ton jury who had seen nono of them. Mr. Whistler's pastels were unmlstakablo, nnd tho Russian lost tho wlno. A fow days later tho two met on tho Rialto, and Mr. Whistler laughed n llttlo nbout tho wlno and tho bot. Tho Russian vas furious. "You forgot, sir," ho said, "that I'm a Russian, and if yon scrutcono'you find n Tnrtar underneath." ''Oh,, no,' you havo it wrong," sold Mr. Whlstlor, "you havo it wrong.
