AT b V Among the pictures which com­ manded immediate attention at a re­ cent notable exhibition was one which will be remembered by its laconic ti­ tle, "Devotion," as well as for a cer­ tain weird fascination it exercised over all who saw it, compelling a close study of the minutest detail. The picture was that of a young woman lying at full length--abnor­ mally long and thin--on the floor of a bare room, a lifeless extended figure with pallid face and one bared arm from which a tiny stream^ of blood was trickling. The background was a board parti­ tion on which was sketched like an artist's proof the angelic head of a child. The likeness between the two was unmistakable; even the lines of penury and hardship in the face of the mother were duplicated in the sweet features of the child. Both were idealized by the sublimity of death. But there was something in the face of the girl that was like the expression of the holy marytyrs. One felt instinctively that she had lived-- and died--for others; that no thought of self had dominated her in the sac­ rifice she had made. Here is her story: "I was thinking of little Earle," she said gently. "Crying again--always crying. Why no{ go if you must and see how much longer we have to live. Curse this fever that keeps me chained here like a bedridden roman! My mouth is parched with thirst---I am starving for, a draught of wine." Estelle had put on a cheap shawl and a meager hat, but these poverties of the toilet could not disguise her charm and beauty. A frown drew the man's harsh brows together as he he looked at her ungraciously. "Yon will not go near a studio, Es­ telle?" "Have L ever deceived yon, Hap. low?" "I don't know. I would kill you if ycu did. You know what 1 mean. Be­ fore you should be a model for any of those fellows." • • • She was gone a long time. His thirst consumed him and the demon of ill-temper tortured him with jeal­ ousy. What was keeping her? , The afternoon sun dropped low on the horizon and the streets grew empty. The evening passed into midnight and that ominous stillness which Is MEstelle! I have Called You Twice." BEpTirtB PLEASANT ""FLIC# THE NEXT MORNING I FEEL BRIGHT ANO NEW AND MY COMPLEXION IS BETTER.

"No, no, Harlow, not that--It would kill me to part with that--all that is left of my baby. Trust me, dear, a little longer, and you will see if I can get an order--if only you are strong enough to work.

The feve: burned In the sick man's veins ant thirst consumed him, but he dragged himself from the bed to the window, from the window to the bed, and when it was the chill white light of morning she came, walking in softly like a spirit, whiter herself than the petals of a lily. Something was clinched in her right hand--she staggered feebly as she walked and extended her closed band to Harlow. He struck it savage­ ly with impotent force as he saw it contained a roll of money. Then she fell at his feet, pale and inert, her eyes humid with pain and love fixed on his distorted face. * "She was a model," they said when they found her lying dead at his feet, and the sketch of the picture waa outlined by the mad artist on the same wall on which he had drawn their child. The dullest of the gaping crowd saw that it was a great work of art and an exact reproduction of the scene before them. What they did not see was a slip cut from the advertising sheet of a daily paper, which Harlow had found --too late--clasped in Estelle's dead hand. The name of a noted surgeon was appended. It read: "Wanted--A healthy young person who will consent to assist an invalid lady in a case needing the transfusion of blood. The highest price will be paid for the service."--Mrs. M. L.

Bright Thought Gave Him the Best of the Situation. Justice F. E. Duncan of Des Moines, Iowa, gained some experience and in­ cidentally lost $1 to a prominent crim­ inal lawyer recently. The lawyer dropped into*the justice court one day. "Are you ready to take up the Ada Hazlewood case?" asked the court. "Didn't know it was set for to-day# replied the attorney. "Thought it was down for to-morrow." "No, it was set for to-day, and the witnesses are here." "Well, let's put it ofT until to-mor­ row ; we are not ready," pleaded the lawyer. "Cant do that," ruled the court. "We'll take the state's testimony to­ day, and you can put yonr witnesses on to-morrow." "But I don't want to do that" "Well, you'll have to do it." "Bet you a dollar you don't take the state's testimony," said the lawyer. • "Guess we will if I say so." "Is the bet still good?" "Yes, I'll take it" And the money was put up. "The witnesses for the state in the case against Ada Hazlewood will rise and be sworn," ordered the court. "No, you don't," retorted the lawyer. "We waive examination and will go to the grand jury. Give me the two dol­ lars." , And the court turned over the money.--The Green Bag. ZERO IS AN ANCIENT TERM. Was in Use by the Babylonians Thirty-Six Hundred Yeara Ago. The term zero, whifch is used to designate a cipher and in meteor­ ology the entire absence of heat in the atmosphere, was, according to a mathematical historian Moritz Can­ tor, used by the Babylonians about the year 1700 B. C. This, however, is merely a supposition. It has not been definitely established that zero was in use any earlier than 400 A .D. About this time it was used in India and several centuries later the Arabs began to employ it. Through the Arabs its use became known to Europeans during the twelfth cen­ tury. It was not generally adopted in Europe until several centuries later, notwithstanding Its great ad­ vantages. For a considerable time there were two parties among the European educators. One party, known as the algorists, favored the adoption of the Hindoo system of notation (falsely called Arabic), with its position values, while the other, known as the abacists, favored the Roman notation, without zero or posi­ tion value. The general adoption of the Hindoo system was greatly facilitated by tne facts that it was explained In most of the calendars for more than a cen­ tury beginning with 1300 and that the mediaeval universities frequently offered courses devoted to the use of this notation. ORIGIN OF 8LANQ PHRA8E. When He First Understood Meaning of Descriptive Term. A student in the School of Mines at Columbia university who has just returned from Butte, Mon., was telling Charles Jaimes, proprietor of the Sturtevant, about the atmospheric peculiarities of that mining town of the Far West. "'Pon my word," he said, "the air Is so charged with mineral gases that after a man has been out for an hour or so in the morning his heart action is so slow that he is obliged to drink plenty of whisky to get it in fairly normal condition. I was told that there were a| One time a few inhabi­ tants of Butte who were teetotalers, but they all dead. A man can drink a quart of whisky before his midday dinner in that town without feeling in the slightest degree intoxi­ cated. That is why Butte men, when they come East and their heart works normally, get frightfully drunk when they try to drink as they do at home." "I see," retorted Mr. Jaimes. "I un­ derstand now what it means to tell a man that he has a 'betiut' on."--New York Times. Where Are the Stars? "Mamma, where are the stars to-night. Twinkling, twinkling all so bright?" " 'Tis cloudy, dear," the mother said. Fondly pressing her darling's head. The questioner sighed, and silent lay With eyes upturned and thoughts away, Then asked, in tones a heart would win: "On cloudy nights do they take them in?" "They take them In"--these words re* vealed The thoughts the infant breast con­ cealed-- A vision of angels from afar, Borne on bright wings from star to star. Making the world grow cold and dim. As they quench their light and take them in. Are we not children questioning, too? A world of shadows we're passing through; We miss some star from out our skies; Scanning the heavens with tear-dimmed eyes. We ask in sorrow, demand in sin. Our looked for stars that were taken in. Beyond the cluds, with vision clear! Shall we not trace our pathway here, And looking back o'er steeps and vale Rejoice in what we now bewail? And find the wrong there would have been Had not our stars been taken in? --Christian Leader. QUIP8 OF RIVAL EDITORS. Younger Journal Had 8omewhat the Best of the Exchange. It was Heine, waan't it, who de­ clared that the ass was chiefly created for the purpose of comparison. From Wales, then, comes the report that a new weekly paper has just made its appearance, and that among other ad­ vertisements was this one: "Bassin­ ette for Sale. Apply this office." A bassinette is a species of cradle. In a rival newspaper this advertisement was reproduced in a bantering article, which pointed out that the new paper had come to stay." "When the par­ ents of a journalistic infant," said the article, "sell their bassinette, they adopt tactics similar to those old-time adventurers who, deciding that for them there was no turning back, burned their boats to prevent the pos­ sibility of retreat." But tbe same Issue of this joking Journal containing the following adver­ tisement: "For Sale--An ass; very strong and quiet. Apply at this office.

Brazils, Ark., May 11th.--To be snatched from the very brink of the Crave is a Bomewhat thrilling ex­ perience and one which Mrs. M. O. Garrett of this place has just passed through. Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere­ brospinal affection, and had been treated by the best physicians, but without the slightest improvement For the ^ast twelve months two doctors were in constant attendance, but she could only grow worse and worse, till she could not walk, and did not have any power to move at aU. She was so low that for the great­ er part of the time she was perfectly unconscious of what was going on about her, and her .heart-broken hus­ band and friends were hourly ex­ pecting her death. The doctors had given up all hope and no one thought she could pos­ sibly live. In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a last hope, but happily It did not fail. Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the remedy, and is completely cured. She says: "I am doing my own work now and feel as well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved me from death." the Cause for Rejoicing. Bix--"Does your wife play piano?" DIx--"No." Bix--"Does she play any musical in­ strument?" Dix--"Nohe whatever."

C., writes: "A fter using your Peraaa myself for I thort period, and my family having used an J are now using the same with good results, and upon the Information of others who have been benefited by It as a cure for catarrh and an invigor- atl g tonic, / can cheerfully recommend it to aU persons requiring so effective a remedy."--Dr. J. F. Ensor. Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-Member of Con­ gress from North Dakota, in a letter from Washington, D. C.t says: "That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as well as an effective tonic, but also a cure of catarrh is beyond controversy. It is already established by its use by the thousands who have been benefited by it. 1 cannot too highly express my appreciation its ex­ cellence."--C. W. But Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. _., writes: " Peruna is the bes^ medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Beside prescribing i$ for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an ex­ cellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a iarge practice and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." Only the weak need a tonic. People are never weak except from some good cause. One of the obscure causes of weakness and the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh. Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane and causes the blood plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness. Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents the discharge of mucous. Peruna is called a tonic. Peruna does not give strength by stimulating the nervoHs system a little. It gives strength by preserving the mucous membranes against leakage. It gives strength by converting the blood fluids and preventing their draining away in mucons discharges. Constant spitting, and blowing the nose will finally produce extreme weakness froMi the loss of mucous. If you do not derive prompt and sati*' factory results from the use of Perun% write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of yonr case and he will he pleased to give you his valuable advJtib gratis.

The fact that by the aid of the speaking arc sound variations may be made to affect a sensitive photo­ graphic film, although not utilized in transmitting speech, by means of rays of light, is one of very great interest, and may lead to some startling de­ velopments. Electrical Investments states that Ruhmer succeeded some little time ago, by cau'siflg a cinemato­ graphic film to move rapidly before a speaking arc, in obtaining a continu­ ous photographic record of spoken words. On passing this record before an electric arc and a selenium cell in circuit with a telephone receiver, the original sounds were reproduced with very fair distinctness. Comparison.
