The Belief Was Once Held That It Disclosed Men’s Thoughts. A belief that the mariner’s compass disclosed men’s thoughts was enter- tained by a number of ancient Mexi- can companions and allies of Hernan- do Cortes. His habit of consulting his compass and chart in his advance through the country and the ease and assurance lwith which he reached whatever town or village he deter- mined to make for tended to coulirm this idea. He obtained the position by present- ing his application in person to the cal. tor. "We don’t need anybody at present.” said the editor. “i said we don’t need anybody,” re- [;i‘tl~‘.'(‘d the editor loudly. "i heard you,” replied Hearn 31-. rainy. "I will just sit here until you happen to need somebody.” That editor was not long in "need- ing" Ilearn. Fm- lack of anything better the new man was sent out for a descriptive Siul‘y to be written in the steeple of the L‘ailniic cathedral. When the story was handed in it proved to be a com- position rivaling the word painting feats of a Ruskin or a Gautier. lie pictured the city as it ldoked from the steeple and imparted to his description something besides beauty. There was reality in it. Persons who had viewed the city from the steeple averted that the story was marvelous for photographic accuracy. lleuru sat down on a chair, pulled a [1001; out Of his pocket. wiped his glass- es and smiled. the Way Lateudlo Bean-n Pulled Himself Into a Situation. Lafcadio Hearn at one time in his ureer was employed on a daily paper in Cincinnati. In the estimation of the Mexicans the compass was a universal oracle. Accordingly in one of the conspiracies which were set on foot against Cortes by the Aztecs a number of the natives, most likely innocent of what was in contemplation, were earnest in entrcat- ing Cortes to have recourse to his in- fallible guide, the compass, that he might ascertain for their mutual satis- faction that they at least were faith- ful. Cortes himself records the singu- lar idea held of the powers of the mag- netic needle by his Aztec associates and their request in a letter addressed to the Emperor Charles V. Their be- lief, he adds, was one in which he took care to confirm them. Life In a Conflict, and Error Dies In the Struggle. Life is a struggle. Wars end, but the war of the raceâ€"the antagonism of thought. the strife between men, be- tween nian and the forces external to him, within the soul of the individualâ€"- ends not save it be with extinction. Error gains many a temporary tri- umph. but the final victory is with truth. There is substance in truth that in the last balance outweighs error. Nature's process is by test and trial, by unfolding, changing, ripping up. un- doing. redoing. By contrast and con- flict she tries sincerity and treachery, honor and dishonor. fitness and unfit. ness, courage and cowardice. truth and error. The conflict of ideas between social and political systems and be- tween creeds and philosophies is as rude as the conflict between the sea and land. Error dies in the struggle.â€" From “Balance: The Fundamental Ver- ity,” by Orlando J. Smith. Fatal Applause. An English lady snake charmer named Leyton was performing at a village called Vaelhlinger, in Rhenish Prussia, in a menagerie with a boa constrictor. This she permitted to coil round her neck and breast. Her cour- age met with thunders of applause from the spectators. who little dreamed that by their signs of approval they had sealed the poor charmer‘s death warrant. Such. however, proved to be the case, for, apparently infuriated at their demonstrations. the reptile tight- ened its coils and amid the shrieks' of the public strangled the lady on the platform before anything could be done to assist her. The snake was im- mediately killed. Declared HI. Intentionl. Mrs. Rasher-Has Mr. Goldcoln. with whom you have been dancing all the evening, at last declared his intentions, Mabel? Mabelâ€"Yes, aunt.
