The Limit of Lands.
By ANDREW LANG. ,
Between the circling oeenn Ken .
And the poplars of Persephone
There lies a atrip of huiren sand.
Flecked with the sea's Inst spray and
strown
iWith waste leaves of poplar, blown
From gardens of the shadow land.
With altars of old sacrifice
The shore is set in mournful wise
The mists upon the ocenn brood;
Between the water and the air
Tba rlniuls are born that float and
fare
Between! the water and the wood.
Upon the pray sea never snil
Ol mortals passed within our hail,
Where the last weak wave faint and
flow;
We heard within the poplar pile
The murmur of a doubtful wail
Of voices loved so long ago.

Glynde and Hllgay, whose friend
ship puts that ot David and Jonathan
to the right about, were fated to he
pitted against each other In every
thing. They cemented their friendship by
blacking each other's eyes when
Glynde was nine and llllgay ten.
They both played cricket. Hllsay's
most brilliant Innings for Cambridge
were stopped at 09 by a magnificent
catch by Glynde, of the Oxford eleven.
Naturally enough. It came to pass
that Glynde and Hllgay fell In love
with the same girl. At least, that 13
only my way of putting It. Glynde
and Hllgay would tell you, If they
liked you well enough to dl:cus3 the
, matter with you, that they were In
love with the only girl In the world.
Men In love are never accurate.
There was, to both of them, a touch
of tragedy about this last coincidence.
They were dining In town together
on an off ever'.ng to see the "Man of
Many Collars," at the Alhambra after
wards. With something of blatancy Hllgay
bad said, "Jack, I'm In love."
Jack Glynde put down his cigar and
turned very pale. -
"I don't belleye you. It's It's ab
surd." "Absurd? Good heavens, why?"
said Hllgay.
"Because I am, too, and we're dead
certain to, be In love with the same
girl."
A little chilled silence fell upon the
two men. For a moment they sat
looking at each other, superstitious
horror In the eye3 of both. Neither
dared to ask what was her name.
Glynde waited for Hilgay to give
the name and Hllgay for Glynde. At
last they made a simultaneous move
ment, Tltclr theatre tlcketn were in
their pockets, but, with that tacit
understanding which can" only exist
between-bosom friends, they turned
away from the Alhambra and made
for tbo Embankment, Each felt that
air was a necessity. The Embank
ment Is the only place in London
where It can be found.
For an hour, arm-in-arm, they
paced the flagstones. Sometimes
Glynde's hand would close hard on
'Hilgay's arm, as though to say,
"Whatever happens, old man, nothing
'matters," "and sometimes Hllgay
would squeeze Glynde's hand tight
, against his ribs, and Glynde kaew
that he was saying, "Whoever she is, i
old man, we are pals to th? end." It

for another passes the love of woman.
These two never really knew what !
theft friendship meant until the
woman came into their Uvea. 1
With a Budden inspiration Hllgay
took out half-a-crown.
"Heads or tails, Jack?" he said.
"Heads!" Bald Jack.
Teddy Hilgay uncovered. It was
tails.
"You must toll mo her name, old
man," he said. Glynde cleared his
throat, took Hilgay's arm, and started
Walking away from the Embankment
at four miles an hour towards the Ox
ford and Cambridge Club.
On the steps of the club Glynde
made a mighty effort.
"Enid Allerton," ho said, and then
looked sharply round at Teddy. He
saw a wave of blood fly into his face,
and felt his arm tremble.
"Good Lord!" said Hilgay.
"Why, what's the joke? What's
your girl's name?"
" "Enid Allerton," said Hilgay,
"Good heavens, isn't the world
large enough for us both?" Glynde's
,face was twitching and his eyes
jblazod. "What have we done? What's
,the matter with us? What's wrong
with the world? Why, in heaven's
same, should we always come up
'against each other? Do you hear?
(.Why the blazes can't you fall in love
with any of the million other girls
. there are knocking about?"
Hilgay sprang to bis feet angrily.
You can't talk," he cried furiously
"You blacked my eyes, and won the
beastly cup. Surely to goodness
that's bad enough, without your crop
jping up now and cutting in with the
tonly girl I've ever loved in thi3
world." ;;
They glared at each other like two
ngry bulls, and then simultaneously
burst out laughing. Again slmulta-
?' eously they hit the bell and broke
he thing, and as the waiter bolted In
'with a scared look they eachr yelled
ior a-soda- . - ,.-..
These arrived before they 'had got
' through with their laugh, and as the
i waiter left the room they silently
licked glasses and drank. .
We scarce had care to die or live,
We hail no honey cake to give,
No wine of sacrifice to shed ;
There lies no new path over sea.
And now we know how faint they
be,
The feast and voices of the Dead.
Ah, flowers and dance! Ah, sun and snowl
lllnd life, sad life, we did forego
To dream of quietness and rest;
Ah, would the fleet sweet rose hero

To know that rest is nowise bliss.
And darkness is the end thereof.

"Cigarette?" Glynde thoved his
ense across the table.
"Thanks, old man," said Hllgny.
For several thoughtful moments
the two sat blowing rings. Glynde
looked his friend up and down curl
ourly, and thought, with a certain
pride, what a good-looking, clean
limbed chap ho was. He could well
Imagine what a poor chance ho would
stand against a man with Teddy's
kind of nose, eyes and hair. Then,
too. he was bo rlpplngly sunburnt,
and he had always heard he under
stood none of the Idosyncrasles of
girls himself that sunburn went a
long way. He suddenly caught Hll
gay's calculating eye.
And then Teddy ran over Jack.
Entertaining a Prejudice.
Of nil tin occupations known to men, entertaining a
prejudice Is the most absurd. Yet the practice is almost
universal.
The prejudice Is usually uninvited. He comes in quietly,
removes his hat and coat, saunters up to the guest chamber,
and prepares to become a permanent feature of the estab
lishment. You entertain him royally, strain him to your
bosom, exhibit him proudly to every one, fight for him, de
fend him, nnd perpetuate him. You do not even admit that
he is pres?nt. "I entertRln a prejudice?" you say, with be
coming concern. "Never!" ,
Birds of a feather flock together. It therefore happens
that If there is one prejudice present, there are others. They
always come In unawares, and take their places silently and
unobtrusively. But oh, how they hang together in an
argument!
A group of prejudices Is Invincible. They have never
been beaten.
The strange part of prejudices is that one would think
they would prefer more commodious quarters, But no, the
narrower the mind, the more content they are. They don't
mind close quarters. The closer the better.
Frejt'.dicas are always busy. If they are not tampering
with one's eysght, they are screening the mind from the
open; putting blinds on, and making it dark enough to sleep
in comfortably.
A man can get insured against almost anything else but
prejudices. Ha can insure himself against fire and water
and loss ol life and accidents and depreciation In his prop
erty. But there Is no company so fortified that it would take
the rhk of insuring against prejudice. And then no man
would ever think of taking out any Insurance against one, be
cause he would never admit that he had it. The prejudice
hlmseir fi::es that. The first thing he does Is to make the
man think he Isn't there.
That is why prejudices, no mntter how much damage
they cp.U33 to character, are never evicted. They have come

Thus both men sat, running up a
long list of tho other's qualifications
which each considered he did not pos

Glynde abruptly.
"Spin a coin," said Hllgay.
Glynde laughed. "What?

"Why not? We've always done it
hitherto."
, "Very well, old man. And if you
win the toss, I wish you all tho luck
I know you'd wish me."
"Thanks," said Hllgay.
They got up. Their healfjy faces
wore extremely cheerful expressions,
expressions of sportingkeennes3, hon
esty and a deolro to do their level
best.
A man called Carbls came in wear
ing evening dress and a bashful grin.
,He had been at Eton with Clynde and
at Christ Church with Hilgay. They
both disliked him intensely. For all
that, he was a very decent chap, play
ing tennis with -the best of them, and
sang songs like an angel with a sense
of humor.
"Hallo, you chaps." '
"Hallo," said Glyndo and Hilgay
together.
"Jolly night, isn't it?"
"Jolly," said Glynde.
"Very jolly," said Hllgay.
"You two chaps look jolly, too."
Carbis grinned at them eo widely and
unaffectedly that it was almost pos
sible for them to see his heart.
"We feel jolly," said Glynde.
"Very jolly," said Hllgay.
Instinctively theyj both made a
move towards the door.
Carbls began to tweak his fingers
nervously, although the beam was
still on his face. "I say," he said,
"you fellows, you might give me a
minute If 4"m hasea't anything better?
to .eta.. UUa.your.)hias?,"j ..i
Glynde and Hilgay turned back.
After all, he had been to Eton with
Glynde and Cambridge with Hllgay.
Besides, be sang a Jolly good song.
They returned bis grin with some cor
diality, i
Then Carbls became flustered. "Br
I'm I'm Intensely happy, and aa
you chaps have always been my Idea
of men, and I've always liked you
both extremely, I should very much
like you to be the first to to know
why I'm I'm Intensely happy er
and to drink me good luck, and that
kind of thing. Will you, please?"
"Rather, old man," snld Glynde,
heartily.
"I should think we would, Carbls,
old boy," said Hllgay.
"You will? Oh, now come, that's
nlco of you both. I'm going to be
married. The day was fixed to-night.
She's really and truly the only girl
In the world.
Glyndo nnd Hllgny exchanged
glnuces of sympathetic amusement.
"Be good enough to wish me happi
ness and long life, don't you know.
It's a Jolly old English Institution,
and I've known you two first one
and then the other for the best part
of my life so far."
The waited for Carbls with uplifted
glasses. Carbls cleared his throat and
steadied the quiver In his voice.
"To the lady who is to honor me by
being my wife. Her name is Enid
Allerton."
Long after Carbls had hurried
away, hot and happy, Glynde and Hll
gay stood silently looking Into their
glasses. The waiter twice came in to
clear them away. It was on the
stroke of 12, and he was keen on
nothing but bed.
They called up two hansoms.
"Jack," said Hilgay.
Hullo," snld Glynde.
"This is the first time you and I are
not going to be pitted against each
other, after all." "
"No, and It's the first game you and
I have ever drawn."
In Glynde's heart there wns a feel.

History of
The English word, mustard, was
derived from the Italian mostarda,
owing to the ancient custom of bar
ing a little must (Latin mustum, un
fermented grape juice), mixed with
It, In preparing1 the condiment. For
Centuries the English have been great
mustard eaters the greatest In the
world. An Englishman may almost
be Identified by his liberal use of It,
although it has been said that per
haps after all there Is not so much
really eaten as there is left on the
edges of the plates.
The use of mustard powdered In Its
present form, for making into a paste,
originated In Durham, about the year
1720, where it was prepared on a
small scale by an old lady named
Mrs. Clements, who kept the secret
of its manufacture to herself grind
ing the seed In a mill, and sifting It
for several years. She used to
travel twice a year to London and
the principal towns In England to
take orders, and from this arose the
name and fame of "Durham Mus
tard," but tbo best and finest quali
ties now made are the genuine Im
perial and D. S. F.' (double super
fine). In manufacturing mustards
the white, or black mixed seed, is
ground' to powder, and then put
through an elaborate course of sift
ing. The product that remains In
the first sieve is mustard flour. This
Is submitted to a finer sieve, and- sep
arated Into a finer quality of dress
ings, and pure mustard flour. Mus
tard oil Is afterwards pressed from
the dressings.
It is calculated that upwards of 7,
000 tons of mustard are now manu
factured yearly in England, and In
no other part of the world Is its man
ufacture carried on so energetically,
two or three of the English Arms
sparing neither trouble nor expense
in producing by the aid of the most
elaborate machinery the best possible
article.
The result is, that the best makes
of English mustard are popular all
the world over, and that more Eng
lish made mustard Is now exported
In a single year than there is of for
eign maufactured mustards Imported
in twenty years.
But although a mustard may be
made from ground white seed prin
cipally, and even kept good for a fair
length of time, also be sold at low
price, yet, such mustard Is necessarily
very deficient In true piquant flavor,
because it is the brown or black seed
only which possesses the volatile my
rqnlc oil, yielding this esteemed fla
vor. Ground mustard made from dark
seed with this oil left in will not keep
good long, owing to variations In
temperature and exposure to air. It
soon causes fermentation, cakes the
powder, turns rancid, bitter and un
fit for use; hence any kegs, tins or
other packages with discolored paper
linings or wrappers showing oil stain,
within or without, .should always be
rejected as stale or out of condition.
The oil is in fact a source of great
trouble to manufacturers who wish
to sell a pure mustard In powder of
good flavor, and at the same time one
that will keep good. The white seed
contains practically none of the vola
tile myronlc oil of the black, but an
acrid substance, known as "slpal
bln," which again Is but slightly
present in black seed; but of these
two active principles the volatile oil
Is by far the most important, and the
black seed is by far the most valued.
Hence also, by reason of manufac
turers mixing the two kinds of seed,
for although the white seed pos
sesses very little pungency, yet it has
within it the peculiar ferment which
develops the pungent flavor of the
black, and therefore the art of pro
ducing the best mustards seems to
depend on the judicious mixture of
the proper proportions. Most of the
English makers now sell two classes
of mustards, one comprising mustards
of different qualities, but all pure,
and the other classes a set of mix
tures, called mustard compounds of
TEMPERAMENT AND DISEASE.
There Are Five Types of Mankind, Each Pre
disposed to Certain Maladies.
In a former article some facts were
stated concerning the different tem
peraments or types of vital action Into
which mankind Is divided. These are
usually reckoned as five, although
the classification Is now very definitely
fixed. Each of these types ia distin
guished by a predisposition to cer
tain maladies and by a special mode
of reaction to the poison of Infectious
diseases. Those of the lymphatic or
phlegmatic temperament are sluggish
and disinclined to exercise, their mus
cles are soft and flabby and there Is
a general absence of tone in the sys
tem. The diseases from which they
suffer are those marked by debility,
and they bave often to be keyed up
with tonics, even when not really 111.
Those of the nervous type are of
small frame, active in mind and body,
light eaters and light sleepers. Their
tendency is to disease of the nervous
system. They tire easily after a
spurt of work or play, -but above all
things should resist the temptation to
resort to "jjick-me-ups," which bave

Grant Under Fire.
By MORRIS SCIIAFF.
For the Information of those who
have never been In battle, let me say,
without seeming didactic, that the
commanding general or his corps
commanders are rarely where the art
ists have depicted them, on rearing
horses leading or directing amid a
sheet of Ore. There are times, bow
ever, when the artist is true to life,
as when Sheridan seeing Ayres and
his regulars recoiling 'for a moment
under terrific fire at Five Forks
dashed in, and there and then with
those flashing eyes be might bave
been painted; Warren that same day
seized the colors on another part of
the field, and led on. But, as a rule,
the corps commander chooses a po
sition where he can see all the field
and his troops as they engage. .The
test of his genius Is In choosing the
critical moment 'when he will Join
them. Suppose McClellan had shown
himself and ridden his lines at
Gaines Mill, or Bragg at Chlcka
mauga, the outcome might have been
different. Owing to the character of
the Wilderness, Grant had few
chances to seize opportunities of that
kind. At Spottsylvanta, the night
Upton was making his assault and
breaking their lines temporarily, he
was close up, and I sat my horse not
far from him. He was mounted oti
Egypt, there were two or three lines
of battle within thirty or forty paces
of each other and of him. The fire
that reached us was considerable; an
Orderly carrying the headquarter
standard was killed and a solid shot
struck an oak five or six Inches
through squarely, not thirty feet
from us, shivering it into broom sliv
ers; but through it all Grant wore the
same Imperturbable but somewhat
pleading face. Atlantic.
