Standing For a Sent In Parliament la Expensive. Although there uro strict lnws BKiiliiHt lirllierj- iu the EiikIIhU elec tions, stumliuu; fur a sent lu parlia ment Is by no menus au Inexpensive matter. Eveu a mnitll constituency will cost not less tlmn $3,0(10, and the expenses run from that up to $10,000. At one election a nimlltliite paid out on an average of $"0 for each vote, but this Is regarded as tho record price, the cost running as low as $1 a head. The purchasing of a vote disqualifies the candidate, even though he may be Innocent of any participation In the bribery, and as a result candidates and their workers "agents" they call them in England are most careful that their actions shall be above sus picion. Pinners nmy be served a constitu ency, but payment even to tho women of a family Is regarded as bribery, and the cnmlldutes are compelled to trust to speeches, house to holme convasses and literature, both for hand distribu tion and In the form of posters.

WHEN THE DUNES WALK. A Snnd fftnrm Experience the Desrrt of Sahara. To flco from a mind storm lu tho nililnt of n ilri'iirliliiR ruin gpnms nn ab surd performance. Tho Arab, however, experienced In tho troys of Snhurn, knows that when the rain stops tho dimes lire opt to IickIii tlielr moHt ter rible "walk-Inn." Ho seeks shelter wbllo there Is yet time. Our worst experience of tho desert In one of Its mud tits, says tho author of "In the Desert," wus on a morning when, luckily for us perhaps, we wcro nearlng the Inrfto onsls of Nefta, near tho Tunisian frontier. Tho Dapping of the tent and tho drumming of rain drops upon It awoko us, and Ahnieda, In some excitement, hurried our depar ture. Ho eiplulned that so long as the rain lasted It would keep tho sond qulot and that this was our opportuni ty. Accordingly, In a very short time we bad struck tent, loaded camels, BOd dled ponies and were under way. It seemed to us a somewhat purpose less proceeding. Tho rain was and hud been heavy. The ground was saturat ed. There seemed no prospect of Its drying lu a hurry. As Nefta was only half a day's march away It seemed unnecessary to start In fruntJc haste In the middle of the night In a pouring rain. Ahnieda, however, made no an swer to our protests. Tho other Arabs seconded his efforts wltlr all their en ergy. .Morning broke wan and sickly. As the light grew the rain slackened. The big warm drops became less frequent and at last ceased. The dull, opaque sky was pasty white and tho air hot and oppressive, but tho wind still blew ns hard as or harder than ever. Hardly had tho rain stopped when I tasted between lips and teeth the fa miliar, gritty texturo of sand. Hitrdly had the light Increased sulllclently to disclose to view the drifts when all their edges and crests could be seen crawling and flickering In the gale. Al ready there was the droning sound In the air which meant that the dunes were walking. We saw at last tho rea son for the hurry. The rain cannot hold the sand for more than the Instant It Is falling. As soon as It strikes the earth it sinks In. One moment you may be streaming with water like a drown ed rat, the next you are choking In clouds of sand. The air grew darker and darker, and the roar of the sand as It rushed along the desert made speech, except by shouting. Impossible. I could Just dis tinguish our tall camels in the gloom, their ungainly action giving them something the look of ships pitching and tossing in a gale. Ahmeda led the way by some mys terious Instinct to us totally Incompre hensible. Wo followed as best we might, breathing sand as we went, our heads bent to protect our faces. My recollection of the next two hours Is no more dellnlte than would be the recol lection of being rolled over and over by a bilge breaker. A singing and roaring In the ears, almost total blind ness, a sense of suffocation and the feeling that I was in the hands of elements more powerful than myself are the vague Impressions that remain. When we nt lust got to Nefta we could not have been more saturated with sund bad we been burled lu It and dug up again. Hair, ears, clothes were full of It. Our cheeks were scar let and sore with the ceaseless batter ing, and on them bad formed bard crusts of sand, cemented by the wa ter that had streamed from our eyes. The Bloodstone. Almost every Jewel has superstition of some sort attaching to It, and the bloodstone is not wanting In this par ticular. The story Is told of It that at the time of the crucifixion some lrops of blood fell on a piece of dark green Jasper that lay at the foot of the cross. The crimson crept through the struc ture of the stone, and tills, was the parent of this beautiful Jewel. The dark red spots and veins were sup posed to represent the blood of Christ, and many wonderful properties were attributed to the stone. It was thought to preserve Its wearer from dangers, to bring good fortune and to heal many diseases. Great Men Have Been Erect.

THE PECTORAL FINS. fllthou Them the Flh Would Stand on Its Head. The pectoral fins of a fish are the two fins, one on each side, Just back of the head. These fins aid the fish to some extent lu swimming. They are small oars which the fish feathers very beau tifully and are of value chlelly to pre serve Its equilibrium. It Is with these fins that the tish maintains Its horizon tal position In the water when not swimming. Without them the fish Would stand on Its head. Sometimes a fish loses oue or both of Its pectoral flus by disease or by accident. A fish without pectoral fins Is in a bad way. While most fishes keep a horizontal position In tho water when not swim ming, there are fishes that do not. One of tbeso fishes Is the flletlsh, which when motionless suspends Itself in the water, head downward, at an angle of forty-five degrees or even neurer the perpendicular. A flletlsh kept In an aquarium which had lost both its pec toral flns luclliied'over backward past tho perpendicular when motionless to about the samo angle that it would have kept In tho other direction If Its pectoral 11ns had been Intact, so that when not In motion It seemed to bo ly ing at nn angle on Its back. In the same aquarium there was a striped bass weighing about a pound and u half, oue of whose pectoral fins was uttacked at tho tip by fungus, which gradually encroached upon It. Finally the diseased portions of the flu were cut off with a pair of sharp shears, the cut being made within the sound part of the Ilu. At first the fish was like a man lu a boat pulling one long our and one short one It couldn't hold a course. Hut It soon accustomed It self to Its new condition, and there after It got along very comfortably. SWISS EDUCATION. A Serious Mntter, Hoarded Jealously hr the state. One reason why the Swiss fare well Is that their public school system Is probably the best In the world, and with them public school education Is practically compulsory. You can send your child to a private sc hool (In some cantons) If you Insist upon so doing, but the face of the government and the force of public opinion are sternly against the practice. In the canton of Solotliurn private schools are absolute ly forbidden. In other cantons a pri vate school pupil must secure a formal permit from the local authorities, and iu some cantons ho must pay a charge to the public funds. The idea Is that the public schools are good enough for all; that rich and poor are to meet there on even terms; that the public school Is the nursery of democracy and patriotism; above all, that democracy Is tho llfeblood and strength and very soul of the republic, and the republic is Switzerland, and without the republic Switzerland Is nothing. Private schools for Swiss children are few In number, and such as exist are under the strict supervision of the state. Education Is a serious mntter In Switzerland. There Is no escape from It. A parent must send bis children to school or go him self to Jail. They kept a Seventh. Day Adventlst In Jail for two years because he refused to let his child attend school on Saturdays. As It then seemed likely he would spend the rest of his life In a cell be surrendered. Everybody's Mag azine. The Man Who Sings. Give us, oh, give us, writes Carlyle, the man who sing's at bis work! He bis occupation what It may, he Is superior to those who follow the same pursuit in silent sullenness. He will do more In the same time, he will do It better, he will persevere longer. One is scarce ly sensible of fatigue while one march es to music.. The very stars are said to make harmony as they revolve in their spheres. Wondrous is tho strength of cheerfulness: altogether past calcula tion are Its powers of endurance. Ef forts, to be permanently useful, must be uniformly Joyous, a spirit all sun shine, peaceful from very gladness, beautiful because bright. Ecsemn.
