POWER OF PLEASING.
(f Yon LMm An Sturp of Cktraii
People Will I-earn Somethin*
of (.Uarin from Von.
The power of pleasing, In man or
woman, is either natural or acquired,
and rarely depends upon physleal drifts.
It la well known that the most charm
ing women are not always endowed
with a beautiful face or a graceful
form. They have tact, sense and wit,
arc ever ready to give a pleasant turn
to the conversation, and possess the
ability to say the right tiling at the
the right time, says the New 1 ork
Weekly. With men, charm is inde
pendent of physique. We have seen it
most alluringly present In a man
whoso face was anything but hand
some.- It Is independent, too, of
achievement. We should perhaps de
scribe a man of pleasing personality
as one upon whom none of the finer
flavors of life are wasted, who can ap
preciate, sympathize with, and Inof
fi nslvely criticise all the scenes, situa
tions, sayings or actions around him.
It does not matter what tills man does
whether he talks gossip or tells *
story, or discusses a poem or a novel or
play, he is charming. Of himself and
Ids achievements he never seems to
think; but he Is interested In sad and
happy love affairs, in the manners and
conversations of his fellows, mid finds
delight in picturing the absurdities of
life. Such men are the salt of human
Intercourse. Their gifts are the most
precious of nil gifts, though they die.
without having accumulated wealth
or achieved distinction.
It Is inherited or acquired, this pow
er of pleasing, and It Is so subtle that It
defeats the prying Investigator and
eludes the cunning analyst. If we re
flect upon the persons we know who
are charming, It Is ten to one that wo
shall find they are cultured people
w ho are rude, irritable, pompous, and
the reverse of charming. Think of
that, you women -especially you
young ones- -whether you are pretty
or plain, and cultivate your minds in
Just one direction, whether you are
rich or poor. Forget yourselves; open
your eyes to the sights and sounds of
nature; read -think. Have s< me un
selfish aim, and your minds will bo
Illumined Learn something of the na
ture of charm, and people will learn
something of ( harm from you.
DU CHAILLU’S FIRST GORILLA.
ThrlllliiK Sltnnllon of the Vnlpd Afri

"Suddenly (in immense gorilla ad
vanced out of tlie wood straight
toward us, and gave vent, us he came
up, to u terrllde howl of rage, us much
a.s to siiv, ‘I am tired of being pursued
and will fuee you.’ It was u lone male,
the kind which are always the most
ferocious. This fellow made the woods
resound with ids roar, which is really
an awful sound, resembling the rolling
and muttering of distant thunder,”
says Adventures in Equatorial Africa.
“He was about 20 yards off when wa
first saw him. We at once gathered lie
get her, and I was about to take aim
and bring him down where he stood
when my most trusted man. Mnlaonen,
stopped me, saying, in a whisjier, "Not
time yet.*
"We stood, therefore, In silence, gun
in band Thei gorilla* looked* at us for
a minute or so out of his evil gray
eyes, then bent his breast with Ms gi
gantic arms- and what arms he had!
then gave another howl of defiance
and advanced upon us. How horrible
be lookrdl I shall never forget it
Again he stopped, not more than 15
yards way Still Malnonen said, ‘Not
yet ’ flood gracious! what is to l>e
come of us if our guns miss tire, or Jf
we only wound the great beast?
“Again the gorilla made an advance
upon us. Now lie was not 13 yards off
1 could see plainly bis ferocious face
Tt was distorted with rape; bis bupe
tectb were pround against each other,
so that we could bear the sound, the
skin of the forehead wasdruwn forward
and back rapidly, which made his hair
move up and down and pave a truly
devilish expn sslon to Ids hideous face.
Once more the most horrible monster

roar, which seemed to shake the woods
like thunder I could really feel the
earth trembllnp under my feet. The
porllla, looklnp us in the eye, and
beati ll p his breast, advanced apaln.
‘"Don’t fire too soon,’ said Mala on en;
‘lf you don’t kill him he will kill you.’
“This time he came within eipht
yards of us before he stopped. Bwns
breathing fast, with excltment as I
watched the hupe beast. Malaonen
only said, ‘Steady.’as the gorilla came
up When he stopped Malaonen said,
‘\<ml‘ And before he could utter the
the roar for which he was opening his
mouth three mu. . t balls wer; in his

('nut IJ-creiiiiln.
The Russian explorer Zyhlkoff has
Just returned to London from Thibet,
where he resided for n tear in the cap
ital, Lhnssa. He delivered a lecture
before the Russian Imperial Geo
gruphical society, in Su Petersburg,
Zybikoff is really a liuriut and I!ud
dbist in language and religion, and
can scarcely be distinguished from the
Clhincsc themselves. He penetrated
Thibet as a lama w ith a caravan of pil
grims who were going to pay veneration
to the Dalai or Great Ocean Lanin, the
pope of the Buddhist world, in his lec
ture he said that the estimate of the
population of Thibet is undoubtedly ex
aggerated. In Thibet proper there are
not more than a million jieople, and
the population is decreasing owing
to the ravages of smallpox and the
large numlier of priests who are
pledged to cellbacv The Chinese in
habitants are almost all merchants.
The soldiers only remain a few years
and are then relieved. Male children
are considered as Chinese and female
children us Thibetan*.
Many skillful workmen from Nepaul
are employed us sculptors and jewel
ers In the temples Almost the whole
of Central Thibet belongs to the Dalai
Lama, who is extending his propri
etorship more and more every day.
Thibetan cooking is not very appetiz
ing, The principal dishes are un
cooked meat, curded milk, vegetables,
butter, soups made of barley meal and
pounded bones. A spirit extracted
from wheat costs less than half a
penny a pint.
The morality among the Thibetans
Is low. Polyandry and polygamy flour
ish. The people spend their money
lavishly on fine clothes. The wealthy
residents resemble walking jewelers’
shops. Labor is paid a little more
than a penny a day. A priest will say
his best prayers a whole day In your
behalf for sixpence.
The population of Lhnssn is 10,000,
but pilgrims, merchants and workers
ere. constantly passing through the
town, which has a circumference of
about seven miles. In the center
stands u celebrated temple containing
a gigantic bronze statue of Buddha,
with a gold crown decorated with pre
cious stones. Round the statue lamps
fed with melted butler are always
burning. Near the temple Is a large
courtyard, in which thousands of
Lamas assemble twice a year to pray
for the Dalai Luma and the emperor of
China.
The Dalai’s palace Is on a hill three
quarters of a mile f rum Lhassn. (’lose
by are the treasury, the high school
of theology and medicine, and the resi
dences of I,2oocourt functionaries and
500 monks. The state prison officials
are corrupt to the last degree The
army is worthless and Is armed with
old-fashioned muskets and bows and
arrows.

Select Councilman J. Tnylor Roth,of
Allentown, I’a., beats nil modern “I’ied
I’ipern of Hamlin.” His horse feed re
cently disappeared so fast and a lot of
rats fattened so noticeably'around his
barn that he resolved not to pipe to
the rodents, but to bring them out of
their lair by pipe line, as it were.
Creeling an embankment around his
Able, Mr Roth secured a large hose,
posted :is persona with clubs and then
turned on a lusty stream under the
building'.
the fattened rats began to seek
light and air and 38 clubs began to
whack When the smoke and squeals
of the three hours’ battle hnd rolled
away tin rt were 947 dead rats on the
ground, and it took three wheelbar
rows Improvised as hearaes, to remove
them to their common grave.
SENSATIONAL ELOPEMENT.

A profound sensation was recent

Italy by the report that the wife of

marchioness' infatuation Is inex

Genoa, where they sailed for Amer

CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
Position Which Gives the Rnrth Ad
vil nl ii ices Favorable to In
tel 11 Kent Life.
The question of the place of earth
and man in the universe has )>ecn
brought afresh into brisk discussion
by Alfred Russel Wallace, the veteran
naturalist who shares with Darwin the
discovery of the law of natural selec
tion. In an elaborate paper he endeav
ors to show from the most recently as
. contained facts of stellar astronomy
that our solar system is nt the center
of n limited universe, arid that In con
sequence of this central position the
earth enjoys advantages which make
it reasonable to believe that if is the
only abode of intelligent life. Except
ing that greater stress Is now laid upon
our uniquely central location, it is sub
stantially the view taken 50 years ago
by Whewell, in hfs attempt to obviate
certain religious difficulties apparent
ly Involved in the doctrine of the
“plurality of worlds,” says Youth’s
Companion.
Astronomers generally seem to dis
sent rather vigorously from Wallace’s
conclusions, although If is admitted
that, speaking roughly, our sun is not
very far out of the plane of the Milky
Way, nor, speaking roughly, as star
distances nre reckoned, very remote
from the middle of the assemblage of
the stars which wo can see.
A few —some of them eminent- —ac-
cept the conclusion that the stellar
universe Is limited, but a decided ma
jority are of the opinion that the evi
dence on which it rests is Insufficient.
They hold that the unquestionable
“thinning out” of the most distant vis
ible stars is not to bp ascribed to the
neitrliborhood of a boundary beyond
which our universe does not extend.
They attribute it to the imperfect
transparency of space, due partly to
the presence of meteors and meteoric
dust, and probably still more to the
existence of dark, invisible stars. ve*y
likely ns numerous as those that i Line.
This limits telescopic vision to a
distance approximately the same in all
directions, and thus explains our ap
parently central position. But the
facts at hand are not yet sufficient to
warrant overweening confidence in
theoretical conclusions.
OIL AS A POWER FUEL.;
Many Improvement Have of Late
linen Made on Method of Uurn
luu Product.
In the rorly attempts to use oil ns a
power fuel it was introduced Into the
furnace in bulk without air or steam
and without any attempt to atomize
It. It was simply allowed to raphrlze
from iron plates or from incandescent
surfaces of brick or stone within the
furnace, says the Engineering Maga
zine. With this method of introducing

Impossible, as the vapor thus given off
could he burned only as fust ns it was
formed, and vaporization was limited
by the oxtent of the surface exposed.
It seems to have been pretty defi
nitely settled now that better results
can be obtained by introducing the oil
in the form of a finely divided spray by
means of an atomizer, and, so far ns
the mechanical part of the problem is
concerned, it may he said that the
greatest difficulty was overcome when
It was first realized that the success
of oil burning depended largely upon
the efficiency obtained in atomizing
the fuel. With the oil sprayed under
the boilers in this way if has been
found that the fires cun 1m? forced nt

which is possible with coni under
forced draft. The rate of vaporiza
tion and the combustion of the oil are
limited only by the size of the burners
and by the velocity with which the air
and products of combustion can be
forced through the furnace.
