THE LINKS OF CHANCE - * Holding apolse in air My twice-dipped pen?for some tense - thread of thought Had snapped?mine ears were half aware Of passing wheels; eyes saw, but mine saw not, My sun-shot linden. Snddenly, as I stare, Two shifting visions grow and fade un sought: Noon-blaze; the broken shade Of ruins strown. Two Tartar lovers sit: She gazing on tho ground, face turned, afraid; And he, at her. Silence is all his wit. She stoops, picks up a pebble of green jade To toss; they watch its flight, unheed ing It. Ages have rolled away; And round the stone, by chance, if chancs there be, Sparse soil has caught; a seed, wind lodgod one day, Grown grass: strubs sprung; at last a tufted tree; Lo! over its snake root you conquering Bey Trips backward, fighting?and half Asia free! h ?Andrew Hedbrooke In Atlantic. Old Peralan Palace* at Susa. A vast quantity of relics, the results of the excavations carried on for a long time on the site cf ancient Susa by M. Dieulafoy and his companions, have ar rived at the museum of tho Louvre. They were brought to Toulon in a trans port from Eassorah, and filled 215 chests, that weighed over 40,000 kilogrammes (nearly forty tons.) The chief contents are: First, two fragments of a frieze of enameled earthenware adorned with lions In bas-relief, from the principal en trance to the palace of Artaxerxes Mne mon. Both fragments are over thirteen feet high by nearly thirty feet long; sec ond, a similar fragment of a frieze from the palace of King Darius Hystaspes, adorned with twelve figures of the loyal body guard, the famous "Immortals." This piece is'eleven and one-half feet high by nearly forty feet long; third, two frag ments of a staircase in same material; fourth, two fragments of terra cotta friezes, showing fantastic animals?they are together over twenty feet Ion:? by six feet high: fifth, the capital of a pillar from the palace of Artaxerxes, ropresent ing a two-headed monster?it is over six teen feet high by thirteen feet in width; sixth, a collection of cut gems, number ing about 300, which seem to date from the earliest period of tho Sassanide dynasty; seventh a large number of arrow-headed inscriptions on slone or glazed earth, mostly from Susa; eighth, a considerable collection of bronze coins from Susa and tho neighboring districts, frpm the time of the Parthians and tho Susanide*, ninth, a quantity of bronze ornaments and mountings of the outer doors of tho palace of Artaxerxes; tenth, a number of statuettes of bronz-\ ivory, terra cotta, and marble, a quantity of vases and toilet ware; eleventh, a mass of objects of comparatively small value, enameled Susanide va?es, Parthian urns for the dead, iron and bronze weapons, instruments and skeletons. Besides these things, tho expedition took plaster cast3 on a largo scale of portion? of the place of Artaxerxes, also photographs of tho neighborhood of Susa, tho sites of the ex plorations of various old monuments and ruins in other par's of Persia.?Foreign Letter. A Now Car Conductor's Experience. After the car had become compara tively empty the reporter made his way to the rear platform and engaged tho old conductor in conversation. Ho said: "Before a man can become a successful candidate for a street car couductor's po sition lie must pass a rigid examination as to his knowledgo of tno streets across which his car is to pass. A man must be able to tell a street by the appearance of its cornors, ns it often happens that many streets don't have their names on tho lamp posts. The principal duty of a new conductor is to keep his car on time neither too fast nor too slow. It is also necessary to observe the city ordinance which requires cars to stop on the fur ther crossing and thus leave tho thor oughfare open. A nsw man sometimes has to be trained for a week before he becomes proficient. Men who show themsehes to be intelligent learn in a few days. Of course new conductors re ceive no compensation while learning. One of the most difficult things for a new man to acquire is to make his ac counts come out straight. They are often short and but seldom over. New men arc apt to uso the indicator too freely, and their accounts are sometimes $1 or so short. They are of course obliged to make up their deficiency." "Are couductors obliged under all cir cumstHnce:* to turn in an equivalent in money for the number of lures regis tered y the reporter asked. "No. Occasionally instances will occur in which a conductor will ring up the fares of passengers who find themselves .in the wrong car and are compelled to get out without paying. Ir. case this does not occur too often the company will allow a reduction of the faro so rung up. The days when a car conductor lived in a brown stono house and at the rate of jJ^oe-J a year, are passed. * Honest men can live on the salary paid, and the com pany has no use for dishonest men," said the conductor in conclusion.?Brooklyu Eagle Interview. The Manufacture of Hairpins. For years the English and French con trolled the manufacture of hairpins, and It is only within the last twenty years that the goods have been produce I in this country to any extent. The machinery used is of a delicate and intricate character, as the prices at which pins are sold neces sitates the most rapid and cheapest pro cess, which can only be secured by auto matic machines. The wiro is made ex presseiy for the purpose and put up in large colls, which are placed on reels, and tho end of the wiro isplaccd in a clamp which carries it to the machines while straightening it; from there it runs in another machine, which cuts, bends, ami, by a delicate and instantaneous process, sharpens the points. Running at full speed, these machines will turn out 120 hairpins every minute. To economize it L necessary to kc^p them working night and day. The difficult part of tho work is the ennm^.inr, which is dons by dipping in a preparation and baking in an oven.-Here is where the most constant and careful attention I.? require'.. tbj pin must be perfectly smooth p.nd the enamel have a perfect polish. The slightest particles of dust,cause imperfections and roughness, which is objectionable.?Stoves and Hard ware. Malaga Grapes at Peter Hruuson's. CHAT WITH EVANGELIST SANKEY. ; The Sweet Singer Tells About His Mauy Sacred Songs?Their Magic Power, j IraD. Sankey, the evangelist, was seen by a reporter just before ho sailed for .Europe. He conversed frer-ly about the ; hymns he has sung so often and welL "There are two classes of songs," he said, "two fields, as It were, that need not . necessarily conflict, viz., tho high classical music and the simple gospel hymns. One is music for those educated in music?it appeals to their science and knowledge of '? harmony; the other is the pure and sim i pie music, that interests millions of peo ple who have no knowlede of music, but enjoy what they feel. The higher grade of music serves its purpose, has its vota ries, and I do not know but what I would be more interested in it myself, if my audience were all good musicians. The outlying masses of poor humanity are not educated up to difficult classical music; it takes some sweet and pure melody tc go straight to their hearts. They gathei their impulses from what they feel, and to move the Impulse in the right direction, to touch It with loving and appealing music, is the sure way to guide and con trol. Music that can not do this would be of little service to the evangelist "It Is the simple, unpretentious reading of tho sacred songs that is acceptable, reaches the feeling and prepares the way for the sermon that comes afterward and does the work. Why music has magic that no soul can fathom; It elevates the untutored; it enraptures tho dull; it thrills with ecstatic joy the weary and longing; it opens the heart of the stony and sweeps in trinmphaut wave3 of mel ody through the bosom of the cold and cheerless. Fifty thousand sermons will not move some minds. The eloquence of St. Paul, the enthusiasm of John Knox, the logic of Spurgeon, and the magnetic earnestness of Mr. Moody would fail to ac complish with some people what simple and tender strain of music would under proper conditions. The eharm ami power of music can not be overestim.ire.l, and it is a potent influence in connection with preaching the word of God. "Were you always a musician, Mr. Sankey P" "Yes, I was borne with music in mo. I sang from the time I can remember. Tt came natural to me; I felt it and it came forth. But I had no idea that I ever would bo a preacher and sing with Mr. Moody. I was a busiuess man at New castle, Pa. My father was an internal revenue collector appointed under Presi dent Lincoln. I was his deputy. In 18GS I met Mr. Moody r.t Indianapolis and after ho had heard mo sing he said that 1 was tho man he wanted. The music I began to sing wdth him is mostly- Amer ican, the outgrowth chiefly of our social and political conditions. Very fov hymns that I sing are foreign." "How do you manage to gather the best songs?" "When I read or hear of a poem that has beauty and tho spirit of Jehovah either in tho lines or between, I immedi ately buy it, even at a high prico. I have paid as high as $50 for a few verses that seemed to have tue true ring. Wc are composing new hymns all the time." "Have you anything to say about the. music of the future f . "As I have said before there are two classes of music?tho higher or classical, the simple or touching. The latter will be more popular, because easily under stood and felt. It wdll be many yearB, if ever, when classical music will t>e under stood by the masses. The experiment thus far, proved inductively by Mr. Moody and myself during a long number of years, shows that simple, pure music finds a greater response in the nvc-rage human breast than any other kind. Reas oning from this basis I conclude that the music of the future must appeal to the feeling, must be pure, simple nyd unpre tentious."?New York Mail and Express. A Ghastly Plastor Cast. There is a curious object of interest in I the Algiers museum?a ghastly plaster I cast of the Ohrlstian martyr Geronimo, ! writhing in the agony of death. Tradi j tion had for :i.')0 years told the story of the j Moorish lad who, coming under the influence of Spanish missionary monks, I became a Christian and a saint in all but faith. He abjured tho faith, it was said, for a brief moment under the pressure of bitter persecution and slavery, but re turned to it with new zeal, and proved it in the end by a heroic and horrible death ?that of being thrown alive, with his banes tied behind him, into n block of { liquid concrete, which was afterward j built into the wall of one of the outlying forts near the city. Such was tu? tradi I tion, singularly and literaly true in the ! minutest details, as was proved in lS?3. I when part of the Fort des Vingtquabra I II eures was demolished, and block of I Cuiicrete found containing the accurate impression of the writhing body, face downward, and the hands tied with cords behind the back. Tho block itself wan claimed by the church, and deposited with i^rcit lioaor in what used to bo a Mohammedan mosque, but is now the Roman Catholic cathedral of the town.? The Argonaut. MUs May McClellan's Mice. Miss May McClellan, daughter of tho late Gen McClellan, has very peculiar pets, two white mice, which at times sho would take-to the opera. They ran around tlie box at the academy, often perched on her bare shoulders, and kept the audience quite amused or the reverse. They were only permitted to run about during the intermissions, but one night, just as the prima donna was in the midst of a pa thetic solo, the mice came out as if to hear too. and the eyes of the audionce followed them. Miss McClellan tried to secure them but they became excited and ran away over the cushioned rail of the bal cony until caught by an usher and re turned to tbeir mistress. Probably the prima donna to this day docs not under stand why her solo received so little ap plause on that particular night.?New York Cor. Hartford Courant. " The Violin Fairy.'
