V INDIRECTION. I fair are the flowers and the children; but- their subtle susses tic.r, is fairer; Bare Is the rose-burst of dawn, but the secret that clasps it is rarer; Sweet the exultance of song. the oviiltnni.B nf Knnir. hut the strain that precedes It is sweeter, And never was poem yet writ, but the ' meaning outmastered the meter. Never a daisy that grows but a mystery guideth the growing; Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters the flowing; Never a Shakspeare that soared, but a stronger than he did enfold him, Nor ever a prophet foretells, but a might ier seer bath foretold him. Back of the canvas that throbs the paint er is hinted and hidden; Into the statue that breathes the soul of the sculptor is bidden; Dnder the joy that is felt lie the infinite Issues of feeling; Crowning the glory revealed Is the glory that crowns the revealing. ' Great are the symbols of being, but that which is sym boiled is greater; Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the inward creator; Back of the sound broods the silence, back of the gift stands the giving; Back of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive nerves of receiving. -Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed Is outdone by the doing; The heart of the wooer is warm, but warmer the heart of the wooing; And up from the pit where these shiver, and up from the heights where those shine, Twin voices and shadows swim starward, and the essence of life is divine. Washington Star. ,. A GAME OF BLUFF. ( A RAO and a bone and a hank l of bair,'" cynically quoted Marion. The next momont he repented his words, when he noted the hurt look, accompanied by the flash of resentment, In Warren's eyes. Marlon meant to be sympathetic, After, the manner of men, by uttering ;phllosophlcal platitudes as a balm for sentimental heart troubles, but he quickly realized that the case before him was too genuine and severe to be cured by such superficial ointment as quotations from cynical Kipling. So ie took another tack. "Of course, old man, there are women nnd women.' Some can be had for the asking, while others piny for all the line they can get., It's just like Ash ing" his metaphor suggestlug an Il lustration from out his sporting pro clivities "a hornpout will bite at al most anything, but a gamy trout In sists on a nice fly for an attraction, and even after you've got one really hooked you've got to play It until your patience Is almost gone. Now, you'd rather have a girl with some spirit, one who'd stand you off for a time, than one who was all the time throw ing herself at your head, wouldn't you?" Warren vouchsafed a weak, doubtful 4Tes." I "By the way, have you asked her?" ' "No. That's the dltlieulty. I don't really get a chance. Just as I get my self spurred up to the mark some con founded Interruption Interferes, or she switches nie oil on a sidetrack with some remark or other." "You think the girl really cares for you?" asked Marlon, dropping his rail lery and becoming serious. "I think she does," frankly answered Warren, "although sometimes I feel as If I didn't know whether she did or not," he continued, somewhat dubi ously. "Well, there's only one way to find out," remarked Marlon, "and thnt Is to say, I have a plan," breaking abruptly Into his sentence. "I have a plan," he slowly repeated, "and I be lieve It will work If you follow my ad vice. Tut yourself In my hands," he continued, his face brightening as his plan was uufokled to his mind, "and I'll bet dollars to' doughnuts that you'll win out." Then he buttonholed War ren, pulled him Into a corner, and ad dressed him lu a low, earnest tone, In. terspcrslng his remnrks with emphatic gestures. When he had finished Wnr- ren still looked dubious, but somcwhut moro hopeful. ! "Oh, good evening, Mr. Warren. I'm so glnd to see you. We're just pack ing up, getting ready to go to the mouu ' talus." "Indeed! Lovely weather. Hope you'll have a pleasant time." But he might hnve been a phonograph, or Tunch-and-Judy operator, for all the expression he put Into his words. "Oh, I've no doubt we will," she an swered, with a toss of her heud, "There's so much going on there all the time, and so many Interesting peo ple to meet," she continued, with bored air, as If her Immediate sur roundings were productive of nothing but ennui. "Yes," he assented, In a listless mono tone, which might mean anything or nothing. She pretended not to notice his ab stracted manner, and rattled on. "My friends write me there are ever so ninny nice people there, and with golf iiml driving and dancing there'll be no end of fuu. "Yes." Again that tone of polite Indifference, "Well, I'm going for a trip myself," be added, rousing hlm-elf f;om his leth argy, and almost blurting out his re mark. "Indeed! Where?" This was her turn, and she countered forcibly in the matter of polite Indif ference. "To Hongkong.' To Hongkong?" This time she was Interested, tn spits Of herself. She repeated his remark, with distinct emphasis on the words, and a rising Inflection on the end of eneh. "Oh, come, now, you're joking. You're - - r-arj j-eally," he assertoU "thpre'ratt opening there in our house.' They want y Q , o h , " " . UouiUi,-i.Uu iui-ic, uuu x vau have the place. It looks like a good opening, and I thought I'd take It. Of course, It means" clearing his throat "tearing one's self away from one's friends, but then, I probably will not ba greatly missed." "Oh, Mr. Warren," broke in . the girl, reproachfully. The coquettish manner was gone. The genuine woman was speaking. "Well, for a day or two a few may remark my absence, and then " He finished the sentence with a care less wave of his hand, to denote the ephemeral nature of the friendship he conceived was felt for him. "But there are no nice girls there," she remarked, mischievously. She was trying to get back to the coquette again. ' But her eyes were moist. "That Isn't a consideration," he an swered, gloomily. "There's only one girl In this world for whose smile I'd give the hopes I entertain for my busi ness future; anil I'm afraid that In her eyes I'm but as all -the rest of the world." "Who Is the young lady, may I ask; do I know her?" she queried, with an attempt at gayety. Warren glanced at her, but she wasn't looking at him. She seemed to be manifesting an ex traordinary Interest In picking at the end of a ribbon on her dress. ' "I've just been reading the Social Gossip," wrote Marlon, who had gone West for a month on a business trip, "and I congratulate you. But why In the name of all that's absurd did you hesitate to call for a show of hands, when you held a flush? One of these fine days you will want a crest. How would this suggestion meet your ap proval: 'A bold bluff painted on a field of blue?' " And he underscored two words In the last sentence. Boston Herald. No bird can fly backward without turning. The dragon fly, however, can accomplish this feat and outstrip any swallow. Oysiters, after they have been brought away from the sea, know by Instinct the exact hour when the tide Is rising and approaching their beds and so, of their own accord, open their shells to receive their food from the sea, as If they were still at home. The tongues of the cat family are covered with recurving spines. In the common domestic cat these are small. but sufficiently weU developed to give the tongue a feeling of roughness. But In the lion and tiger the sntues are strong enough to enable the animal to tear away the skin of a man's hand merely by licking It. There are several species of flsh, rep tiles and Insects which never sleep dur ing their stay In this world. Among flsh It Is now positively known that pike, salmon and goldfish never sleep at all. Also that there are several others of the flsh family that never sleep more than a few minutes during a mouth. There are dozens of species of flies which never Indulge in slumber and ! unique history.

"In charge of the conductor," chil dren often travel on the cars, but on a recent trip -the Cunard steamship Cam pania carried ten boys and girls who were taking long Journeys alone. A girl of 14 was going to her aunt In Chicago; another, aged 11, to her step father In North Dakota. A boy of 10 and a girl of 0 were consigned to two small towns In Massachusetts. A 0-year-old boy was going to his aunt In Chicago; an 11-yenr-old girl to her sis ter In Boston, and four children, rang ing In age from S to 11, were seeking their father In Calumet, Mich. It was the largest party of unattend ed children that ever landed at New York. All were "tagged" with direc tions, asking those with whom they came In coutaet to see that they were sent on their way. Counting the ocean voyage and the long land Journeys, several of these lit tle travelers covered more than 5,000 miles alone, except for the thoughtful and kindly persons who may have no ticed and helped them. The Power of III Eye. It has been told of Van Amburgh, the great lion tamer, that on one occasion when In a bar-room he was asked how he gained his wonderful power over animals. He said: "It Is by showing them that I am not In the least afraid of them, and by keeping my eye Bteadlly on theirs. I'll give you nil example of the power of my eye." "You see that fellow? ne's a regular clown. I'l make him como across the room to me, and I won't say one word to hlin." Sitting down, lie fixed his keen, steady eye on the man. Treseutly the fellow straightened himself up, rose from his seat and came slowly across to the Hon tamer. When he was close enough he drew back his arm and struck Van Amburgh a tremendous blow over the chin, knocking him clean over the chair, with the remark; "You'll stare at me like that again, won't your Love and coins are sometimes tested by the ring. ',. ENGLAND'S NEXT QUEEN. , i .-Stories .Bearing oil the Personality of I ", the Prlness of Wales. Queen Victoria recently admitted that of all the members of her royal family, excepting only her youngest daughter, the Princess Beatrix, she has most love for her probable successor, the beautiful Princess of Wales. Alexandra, the next Queen of En- gland, will enjoy In a way all the'pow ' er wielded by her husband and will i have the full social prestige now be- longing to her mother-in-law. For this I reason and perhaps because she likes ' to keep herself young enough to enjoy this the Princess of Wales devotes a portion of her time to athletics. She exercises constantly, and one room at Marlborough House Is filled with au tomatic side saddles, stationary bicy cles and all sorts of athletic aids. She rides horseback Indoors and, outdoors THB PRINCESS OP WALES. two hours every day, and weighs herself frequently to be sure that she Is not gaining. The Princess of Wales has never con cerned herself with state matters, al though she must know what Is going on. She has always been absolutely Indifferent to such things, unless swerved to one side or the other by personal favoritism. The Queen, who knows every Hue of the possibilities of her statesmen, has ever been a politi cian, looking for Improved service, civil and military, but Alexandra has never worked along political lines, and never will; she Is not thnt kind of a woman. Alexandra has her little weaknesses all womanly ones. She Is fond of novels, a thing the Queen despises, un less of the classic sort. She dislikes fa mous people, such as authors and ar tists, for she Is timid In the face of genius, while the Queen will have noth ing to do with any other. Alexandra loves fancy work nnd can outline a worsted dog to perfection, while the Queen nev.er takes n stitch. Alexandra notes the hang of the skirt and the cut of the sleeve. Victoria is calmly ob livious to everything except court dress. Britishers will have something to do to get used to their new Queen,- for tnev wi Dave 10 reconstruct an tneir Metts of royalty. Court dresses arid Jewels will shine In the dull old rooms "n(l muslc anJ laughter will be heard wlre nowvoniy tne ecnoes startle xue shadowy figures of former gaiety. Alexandra has been preserving herself to have her royal "fling," nnd she Is woman enough to Insist upon it. SCYTHE IN TREE. Unique Oddity on the Land of a Massa chusetts Man. The scythe seen In the singular posi tion depicted In this picture has a , Early in the civil war a certain James Bliss, while mowing In the fields, sud denly decided to eulist. Hanging Ms scythe over the limb of a small pine THE SCITUE IX THE TREE tree, and requesting It to be left there until his return, he went to Athol (about eight miles) and Joined a regl ment that was sent South. Unfortun ately, he succumbed to fever, and the scythe was never removed, with the result that the tree has grown entirely around the blade. Bliss' father still lives In the town. British Marquis Captures a Th'ef. The Marquis of Waterford has prov ed himself a first-rate amateur detec tive. A robber had broken Into the Mar quis' house at Curraghmore and was at once pursued by him and followed to a public house four miles off. There the robber had seated himself among a number of men who were drinking and smoking and not one of them would betray him. The Marquis, however, In sisted upon feeling all their hearts, and as he was their la ml lord and the great man of the county no one dared to re fuse. The man whose heart was still beating quickly was the robber, who had Just censed running. Experience teaches . people a lot of things they would rather not know. C. G.
