Show EYES AND NO EYES, to capitej an OrentAl story t told of ! the acute observing faculties nf an ! Arabian dervish that not only ought it iu ue iniroaucea into all our public schools, as perhaps it ie, but pertinently pertinent-ly commented on by the teachers. Though narrated of a man who could neither read nor write. It shows what an admirable practical education can be had by any one who knows how to use his own eyes, and then to reason on what h.B sees. Somewhere on the desert, the dervish came upon two travelers, evidently looking lor a stray animal. "You have lost a camel, have you not?" "Tes." "Was he not Wind In his right eye and lame In a left leg?" "Yes." "Hal he net lost a front tooth?" "Yes." "And was he not loaded with honey on one sde and wheat on the other?" "Yes; and, as you have seen him, you can, no doubt, put us on his track." "I never saw -your camel," replied the dervish. "A pretty 'story, when you have told all about him. You have stolen the .jewels that were part of Ms freight." So they -seized the poor fellow, bound him and carried him before ttie cadi or Judge. Things looked rather blm?k for the dervish. Happily, however, the t-adi was a man of sense, and said: "You must -explain how you came to Itnow so much about a camel you insist you have never seen." "I own," replied the dervish, "thait there has been some 'ground for suspicion, sus-picion, But I can find ample scope for observation even In a tlesert. I ktw-w that I had crossed the track of a strayed camel because I saw no mark of a human footstep on the sasne route; I knew the anmal was blind in one eye because it had cropped the herbage on one side only of the path; I perceived it was lame in one Jeg frwra the faint impression that particular foot had made on the sand; I concluded it had lost a tooth hecause a small tuft ol herbage was left uninjured In the center cen-ter of each bite. Finally, as to the burden bur-den of the beast, the bosy ants informed in-formed me that It was corn on one side, and the swarming flies that it was honey on the other." No wonder Oie sensible cadi acquitted on the spot so shrewd an observer and so logical a reasoner. One of the most starting incidents in all literature, an incident never forgotten forgot-ten from childhood days to old age, is that of Robinson Crusoe on his desert island suddenly lighting on a HUMAN FOOT PRINT in the sand. .The enormous implications implica-tions of hope or terror involved in such a perception are what make the heart , of every reader beat with wild emotion..' If Crusoe had -seen the savage first and the footprints afterward, ft would have spoiled all. Now, that every object that can be encountered is full of signifi cance to an observing eye and reasoning reason-ing mind is u truth about Which too ; many educators are singularly blind. Children shift up to a mere book knowledge knowl-edge pet utterly vague ideas from what they read. The modern use ' of pictures, pic-tures, of 'Course, helps greatly. But pictures are as nothing to ithe objects themselves.

Is the teacher, then, is the parent, worthy wor-thy of the name, who does not try to stimulate in the mind of the child the percepton of just what the Arabian dervish der-vish learned through his own . eyes of an invisible camel in the barren desert? "Frankie," said a father to his little boy who could not read, "hand me the morning paper." There were two newspapers news-papers lying on the table, one of which the little chap selected. "Are you sure this is today's?" "Yes, sir!" "How do you know It?" "I smelt it, sir," was his answer. There is a smell about a fresh, moist paper such as an old one does not have. Here was a dodge even the father was not up to, as good in the dark as in the light. He that has a nose let him smell and reason on it. was the little fellow's philosophy. The dervish would have patted him on the head. A POETESS HYPNOTIZED. Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is, in a measure, an advocate of hypnotism. Some four or five years ago, while at a reception, she was brought In contact con-tact with a Russian, who professed to be a hypnotist. Out of several hundred hun-dred guests the Russian selected Mrs. Wilcox as a subject. A few days later she met him at the home of a friend to test his abilities and to gTatify her curiosity. There were a dozen friends of Mrs. Wilcox present. All were excited, ex-cited, none more so than she. In relating the experience Mrs. Wilcox Wil-cox said: "He made several passes with his hands over my eyes and brow, scarcely touching me, and 1 soon experienced a sensation of drowsiness. I did not, however, seem to pass beyond that state, hut remained perfectly conscious. He had not told me what he intended to do, but I hoard him sny to the others,. "I will put this needle through her flesh, and he will feel no pain. i "HEWLETT BBOS. n NEW, rilltEE THE PTJHE8T AND BEST MADE. ; THREE-CROWN SPICES ARB BEST inAAAtiaa t.hnv DfA B.-cund fresh everjV..

As it was, I knew no fear, suffered no pain, and- no blood came from the wound. The marks remained on my arm, proving what he had done. He said that, after one or two more experiments, he would have me under perfect control. That frightened me, and I never allowed him to mesmerize me again.

In the same time there have been 723 legal executions sind HIS lynchings. These figures are interesting and snggesttve. They show, to begin with, that murder is a more frequent crime than is generally gen-erally understood, and that it h increasing in-creasing instead of diminishing. In the last year, 10,500 persons were killed, or at the rate of 875 per month, whereas in 1S90 the number was only 4290, or less than half as many as in 1XS5. It is not tu be supposed that the people are now twice as bloodthirsty as they were five years ago, or that provocations of mur-der mur-der have been multiplied to that extent There must be some other reason for this startling proof of the growth of the worst crime in the calendar. It is to be found, unquestionably, in the statistics which tell how the murderers have been dealt with. Only mi of them in all have paid the death penalty, and only 723 of these one in sixty of the whole number have been thus punished pun-ished in a regular way and according accord-ing to the forms of law. There have been more U'nehings than legal executions execu-tions in each one of these five years, and the fact is one of evident generai significance. . It will not do to claim'that the courts have done their duty when so many murderers have been allowed to escape; and to this dereliction the lynchings are largely due. But tfeere is-another point in the matter that is of still more importance as an explanation of this lamentable state of 'things. There Is a decided and growing public sentiment senti-ment against the death penalty, and it influences the action 5f courts and Juries In murder triate softener than anything .-else. Thus in many cases, verdicts f acquittal are rendered for no other reason than m. conscientious unwillingness to condemn a fellow-man to death. The same juries would readily rote for conviction If some other form of punishment could be inflictedsuch in-flictedsuch as imprisonment for life, with prohibition of pardn. except upon future proof of innocenoe, or for some other legal and sufficient cause. It Is useless to pooh-pooh this feeling as a mere morbid prejudice, tor It Is entertained enter-tained by some of the 'best citizens, who have no sympathy -for criminals as such,1 but who are opposed to capital punishment under any circumstances. They hold that the gallows is a relic of barbarism, and that the taking of human life in the name tff the law is inconsistent with modern civilization. We may 'think what we please about such a sentiment, but it exists every- wnere, ana its strength is Telt as often as a murtter case is tried. The question is, would it not be better for society. and worse for the criminals, if juries were permitted to return qualified verdicts, ver-dicts, and 'to convict withvut the necessity ne-cessity of affixing the death penalty ? bi. .Lrouis uioDe-uemocrat. SOCIAL FAILURES. Many of J hem retire after . first defeat, de-feat, never to appear again, carrying witn tnem a navor of bitterness which itnges much, of their after life. Papas ana mammas, aunts ana elder .brothers consult together about the cause of the difficulty and the remedy far relief. Some blame the men. "Did you ever Know sucn Doors as they are one will exclaim. "Now, in my day," etc. The elder brother calls the younger one to account. "What's the matter wjth you fellows Don't you know that it is a man s business to see that no woman is allowed to feel neglected in society? When l was young we felt it an obli gation among ourselves to be nice to every stupid girl, and a man who danced the gernian with her knew that every other man in the room would help him by taking her out as often as possible. one mamma thinks they have not entertained enough; that success in so ciety is. after all, only a question of give and take, bo invitations to din ners and teas are issued, and artificial foundations are as artificially laid, and the daughter Is launched again on the frothy current flowing over It, her suc cess to be measured by still more art! ricial signs. Another mamma says her daughter Is not asked to dance because money nowadays rules everything, that of course the girls with private for tunes will receive greater attention than those who have none, forgetting while she speaks those of the rich who are likewise neglected.

During: the attendance of ex-Senator Ransom, our Minister to Mexico, upon the meeting of the Democratic National committee a story was told on him to illustrate his wonderful g-Ifte of diplomacy: diplo-macy: There was a younjr American stopping- at Minister Ransom's residence resi-dence in Mexico. This young: man appeared ap-peared several times in a pair of trousers of that delicate shade between a blue-pray and a lavender. Ransom refrained from remarking: upon the trousers as Ions as he could. Finally he threw his arm around the younjj man's shoulders and said, soothing- him down caressingly the while: "My dear boy; God bless you, my dear boy, how are you this morning-? 1 hope you arc well, very well, my dear boy; Cud bless you. You are looking fine this morning. morn-ing. I never wore trousers like those when I was a young man. You are looking fine. God bless you. Clod bles you, my boy.

The discovery f a new lig-ht which enables the photographing of tbe bones of the human body through the lothes and flesh, the -contents of a -wooden box through that enveJop, or of a leather wallet, or even -or object nidoxtn by one metal aJurninnm thie is new announced an-nounced from Germany. It is the new est and one f the most astounding marvels of the advance of etfentifk). dis covery, and it Is wholly credited by men of so great authority tm Edison, while others think the accounts of the present state of the discovery may be exaggerated, bnt regard the Achieve ment as quite possible. The results of this new process are lately to be of the utmost value in medicine and surgery, while one can easily imagine that in malicious hands it might be applied to miseihief. The story is this, that for several years Prof. Roentgen of the Bavarian university of Wurzburg has been experimenting ex-perimenting with a light derived from radiant heat by means of Crook's tubes. The Crook tube Is a vacuum glass through which an electric induction current pauses, whose rays, the product of intense heat, are thrown upon the object which jt is desired to photograph. photo-graph. Edison says, as quoted in the New York Journal: The cardinal faotor of the whtle matter mat-ter Is this radiant heat, but 1 am satisfied the Wurzburg Inventor has special rays thereof and special chemical plates. Ka-dlant Ka-dlant heat Is the energy of heat transferred trans-ferred to the luminlferous ether which fills all space and also pervades all hortles. The hot liody sets the ether particles in vinration, and this vibratory motion, in the form of waves, travels in all directions direc-tions and with a velocity of about 180. K miles a second. There is no essential difference dif-ference between radiant heat and light, both leing forms of radiant energy, the ether waves differing intrinsically among themselves In wave length only, and thus producing different eflects. heating, luminous lu-minous and chemical, in the bodies on which they impinge, according lo the na-tuie na-tuie of these bodies. The waves whose healing effect is generally the greatest are of greater wave length than thosP which most affect the cy.---light ravs-and ravs-and have longer periods of vibration. The quantity of heal of a body or the amount ol heat e ner try which a body gians or loses in passing through .llfferenl range of temperature Is measured by the onantiy of water it would raise at one degree Kahn tihelt. Results obtained by Prof. Roentgen lire described in the Journal's urticle. He photographed a man's ankle in which a bullet was imbedded, showing the bullet just where it was lodged. He photographed a leather pur'-e, showing show-ing the money in it with perfect distinctness. dis-tinctness. A human hand was subjected sub-jected to the rays, and the result was a picture of its bones, with the envelop of flesh only a shadowy form around them. The most startling experiment was the photograph of a young man beside a young woman, which showed nothing but a skeleton form. It is also said that an iron weight was photographed photo-graphed through a box, the box disappearing disap-pearing in the picture. These experiments experi-ments show, if they are correctly described, de-scribed, that the less close the contact of the molecules of a body, the more penetrative this light from radiant h' at so that clothing, flesh, leather, wood and other substances of comparative freedom of movement among molecules offer no itnpfdimcnt to the process of this new light, while bone, mineral, metal, and other close-packed sub stances remain opaque ami me pic tured. The picture, however. Is not a negative, but a positive The radiant lieat cannot be described in terms (,f ngnt, because in fact it is invisible t unman eyes. invisible light is a cu rious concatenation, but that Is all w hich one can say about It. One can easily see in that the dis covery, If it can be confirmed, must be of great importance. Edison says it will put an end to vivisection, for there will be no further excuse for It. The use of the radiant heat, when It shall nave become manageable, will reveal the presence of diseases, and will locate without error a bullet which has filtered fil-tered the body. At once we remember the terrible mistnke of the surgeons in the case of President Garfield, and realize real-ize that with this method the exact place of Gulteiiu's ball would have benri discovered at once, and Garfield's life probably ssved. It is by no means sure that all that Is claimed for the new discovery can be borne out by facts, but there are further report's coming In.

Then followed the popularity of rt-ddinn-haired ladies, with Titian warmth of coloring, and it was wonderful won-derful to see how the dark hair of many iashwnable women showed glints of ruddy color. Now black and white is a combination pre-eminently fashionable, fashiona-ble, and the beauties most admired today to-day iwmW Beardsley's drawings.

The novelist bent forward, for-ward, a look of relief and Joy irradiating irradiat-ing his face. He plncpd both hands on the newcomer's shoulders. "My dear fellow," he said, with a warmth he had not shown before, even to those of high degree. "I'm glnd to meet you." Philadelphia Phila-delphia Inipilrei-.
