It has been (lie custom of many people to belittle the ancients by assuming that tlicy knew but lilllcof mechanics, cer tainly not so much as wo do. The builders of the pyramids have been described by modern gucssers us making their calculalions arid carrying on the. most wonderful engineering opera tions willi the aid uf pools of water for obtaining levels and slar anglei; they could not, it was assumed, have instru racnts except the most crude. So also tho Chinese were mero rude workmen, although it is well known that they dis covered the procession of the equinoxes over 2,000 years ago. Of late evidence has been slowly com ing out that tends to show the ancients as perhaps having as much, if not more, than we have. So the following from tho New Yoik Evening Sun, an influen tial daily paper, will be of interest. It says, on May 31. 1801: "An English officer by the name of Harrington has di.-covercd in India a workiog telephone between two native temples which stand over a uiilo apart. The testimony of the Miudus, which, it is said, is backed up by documentary proof, shows that the system has been iu operation for over 2,000 jears. Scien tists engaged in the ruins of ancient Egyptian temples have repeatedly found uniiiistnkeable evidence of wire Com niuncation betwetn sumo of the temples of the earlier Egyptian dynasties." It will probably be found io the course of time that I lie repeated statements of II. I'. Blaiali-ky that the ancients had all of our aits and mechanical' devices were true. She inserted that they had flying uiiicliiues. In Buddhist books is a story of liuddha which rcdrs to a flying machine or mechanical bird used in a former life of the Lord, and Indian tradition speaks also of ail walking ma chines. Reading this item in the newspaper reminds me, loo, of a coiivirsalinn I had with II. P. Biavalsky in New York bo fore the ph noc.uph came on1, in which she sail that some Indian friends of hers had a machine by which they spoke with each otlnr over distances of miles with great caso. Perhaps when tiro great West is convinced that tho old Aryans had mechanical contrivances equaling our own it will lend a readier ear than now to the philosophies the East has so long held in keeping " KEEP VOUK HUSBAND 1IAP- 1V.

IT CAME TAHWI,Y, HUT WAS A MODEL IN IT.S BREVITY. An aristocratic young lady of Magde burg, Germany, had spent some timo at the country seat of her uncle and a young cavalier from Berlin had been paying much attention to her, Every body thought it would be a good match for both and affairs went on swimmingly until the day drew uear when tho young lady was to relurn homo. The nearer the day cimio tho more disappointed were tho young miss and her luulhcr at tho failure of tho young man to ask tho all important question. Finally they left their relative's homo in great dismay, and just before leaving the youug lady remarked to her uncle that it probably was as well for botb, as her mother had not much use for such a "chickenhearted sun ia law." They left on a train on tho narrow gaugo railway connecting tho valley with the nearest town. After they had gone the young man questioned tho undo why the young lady had gono away so angry and hardly noticed him wheo bidding good-by. The uncle, a blunt ci soldier, repeated the remark made by bis niece when leaving to tho young man, who was touched to the quick by tho insinuation of cowardice c inta'iDcd therein. lie was very much in love with the lady and had abstained from broaching the subject 00 account of bis not considering it proper to propose anywhere but at tho young lady's home, which he intended visiting before long. This remark, ho.vevcr, aroused his sense of honor and without saying another word, ho mounted his horso, which happened to stand ready for an outing, and galloped after tho train, which had left a quarter of an hour be foro. 0ing to benign providenco and the management of this country railroad be caught the train before it had reached the next station, Karow; he spied the young lady at the window of a firstclass compartment and, riding up to tho train before it came to a full stop, almost shouted breathlessly: '-.My dear Miss ,1 ask for your hand Yes or no?"

Good inawin', kurnel, good inawinl" Atlanta Constitution. Take, again, the friendship of one woman lor another when both stand pon the fume moral and social level. It is in nine cases out of ten devoid of the obligations of loyalty and honor bich are inherent in the friendship be' tween one man and another. There is less reserve injt arid also less sincerity, for a woman will reveal her heart of hearts to a fiiend and quarrel with her the next duy because she has pirated her bonnet or alienated an admirer. Such relations never becotno stable or sacred bctwocn women, for they are apt to be gin by cbuncc, proceed with passion and die at a breath. Even at fever heat a woman never gives as much to another as she gives to her lightest lover, and at ny moment she is ready to sacrifice her friend at the behest of any man in whom she is momentarily interested. For his entertainment she will betray any confi- lence without a scruple or a regret, even if she refraios from denouncing her fem inine friend to the 6rst comer as soon as shadow of mi-understanding has arisen between them. In the lives of most men there are only one or two friendship bonds, riveted by years of intercourse, which nothing but undreamed treachery can sever. Wo men, on the other hand, make and dis card friends with equal facility. If they are seldom true to men, their fidelity to their own sex is rarer far, for there are no Davids and Jonathans among women, no fiiendships founded on mutal faith and held in honor. Until woman learns to conduct her relations with her own sex on the same principle as that which men act the sisterhood of woman will never come within measurable distance of the possible. Sho has learned so much from man in this decade that it is not unreasonable to hope she may yet learn he true character of friendship as well as the policy of combination. When woman stands shoulder to shoulder with her sister in public and in private life, ihe will stand at the very gates of her kingdom, abreast of that "brave vibration, each way free."

THEY ARB LIKE PAPIER MACHE DOLLS, BUT ONCE RULED THEIR COUNTRY. A Capitol Romance. SUE L OS T HER POSl TION HUT NOW FINDS SOMETHING BETTER. A quiet little romance, of which only those most interested aro supposed as yet to know, has grown from the fertile agri cultural department. Once upon a lime there was a pretty girl in a far-off west ern state. Hard times pressed heavily upon her home, and broke the cheerful spirit of her aged father and mother. With tho brave thought to euro suffici ent money to lift a mortgage from the email farm, tho young girl came to Washington, and, after many rebuffs and disappointments, secured position in the seed division of the agricultual de partment. Quietly and faithfully she did her daily duty, saving much more of her salary than she spent, and dreamiog of a time when the savings would be enough to lighten the mortgage, and the dear old hearts at home. When the seed division was abolished, her hopes sank very low. All efforts to find another place were fruitless, and Wash ington seemed big and strange and lone ly. Before giving up and going homo, she made one final throw for success and future happiness. She wrote a letter to the nenly elected congressman of her home district, and asked him to aid her with his influence in obtaining a govern ment position. She had never seen the congressman. She imagined him to be a benevolent, Peffer like old gentleman with a fatherly disposition. He hap pened to receive her letter as he was starting to Washington on ante con gressional business, and he answered it in person. He was neither old or Peffer like, he was young and good look ing and susceptible. His business in Washington lengthened itself out unac countably. The pretty girl has gone home now, but this winter there is going to be a happy young bride in a modest (tie home on Capitol hill, and that western congressman is going to challenge every fellowmembcr who shall dare to lift a word of protest agaiost tho abolish ment of the seed division. Washington Post. Bide Yonr Time. DON'T WEAR LIFE AWAY IN FEVERISH ANXIETY O F FAME. SKATING She The Chinese beauties sit on a rostrum in chairs of state, their hands folded submissively in flowing sleeves and their faces with as much feminine expression as countenances carved out of ivory. They smile now und then, und you fancy when they do so that some string at tho back of their necks has been pulled for the purpose. They wear divided skirts, it is true, but of all heathen women it seems to me that these would be the most difficult to iucul uto with the desire to vote. And yet these almond eyed Celestials solved long ago the woman question, or rather their men folks solved it for them. Centuries past they were allowed a part of the government, with tho result of so much intrigue und disaster that they were forever ruled out. Ooo of these little old papiet uiuche maidens is considered the beauty of tho lot, and in her own little Chinese way she is really Tory cute. Her liny body is gorgeously arrayed. Her trousers are of purple and gold, and tho long garment that covers her body to the knees reveals a splendid panoply of birds and insects ol every hue on a ground of shimmering white and cold satin. Her pretty little bands are ludcu with many rings, among them tho jade circlet which no woman of her age ia without, since it is said to bring luck and love to Iho wearer.

He must wait. More particular ly in my native land, where the pulse of life beat with feverish and impatient throbs, is the lesson needful. Our na tional character waiits tho dignity of ro poso. Wo seem to live iu the midst of a battle, there is such din, such a burning to and fro. In the streets uf a crowded ity is is difficult to walk slowi); you eel tne lushing 01 the crowd, and rush with it onward. In the press of our life it is difficult to be calm. Iu this slnss uf wind and tide all professions seem to drag their anchors, and arc swept out in the main. The voices of the present say, Come! But the voices of the past say, Wail! With calm and solemn foot steps the rising tide bears against the ushing torreot up stream, and pushes back the hurrying waters. With no less calm and solemn footsteps, nor less cer tainty, docs great minds bear up against public opinions and push back the hur rying stream. Therefore, should every man wait should bide bis lime. Not in listless idleness, not in useless pastime, not in querulous dijection; but in con stant, steady cheerful endeavors, always willing and fulfilling, and accomplishing is task, that when the occasion comes he may be equal to the occasion. And if it never comes what matter it to the world whether you or I, or another man, did such a deed, or wrote such a book, so be it the deed and the book were well done. It is the part of an indis creet and troublesome ambition to eare too much about fame about what the world says of us; to be always anxious for the effect of what we do and Bay; to be always shouting, to hear the echo of our own voices. If you look about you, you will see men who are wearing life away in fever ish anxiety for fame, and tbo last wc shall hear of them will bo the funeral bell that tolls them to their early graves. Unhappy men and unsuccessful, because their purpose is to accomplish well their task, but to clutch the "trick and fantasy of fame," and they go to tbeir graves with purposes unaccomplished and wish es unfulfilled. Better for them and for the world in their example, had .'they known how to wait. Believe me, the talent of success is nothing more than what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame. If it comes at all, it will eome because It is deserved, not because it is sought after. And, moreover, there will be no misgivings, no disappointment, no hasty, feverish, exhausting excitement.
