The only hope the lottery people have of a ratification of the charter is in the corruption of the electore. For this purpose they have the money. But can th^ majority of the people be bought? We do not believe so. For many years past public sentiment against this devil fish has been crystalizing and growing.

In this age of progress and high order of civilization, with so great a christian influence surroun-Jiog each person that it looks as if it was not possible for the children of this country to go back into heathenism. It is not necessary that they should, but it is jwesible they will do so, unlets we could find some means of having their heathenish manners and habits ccase, or even they might be placed where other peop'o could not witness their outrageous action*.

Holy, and with a swift motion lamp.
Look before thee, O Harmachis!" he cried and his voice sounded hollow in tho solemn place.
I gazed and saw nothing. But from the niche that is high in the wall, wherein is hid the sacred symbol of tho God dess, on which few may look, there came a sound as of the rattling rods of the sistrum. And as I listened awestruck, behold 1 1 saw tho outline of the symbol drawn as with fire upon tho blackness of tho air. Above my head it hung, and rattled while it hung. And as ft turned, clearly I saw the face of tho Mother Isis that is graven on tho one side, and signifies unending birth, and the face of her holy sister, Nephthys, that is graven on the other, and signifies the ending of all birth in death.
Slowly it turned and swung as though some mystic dancer trod tho air above me and shook it in her hand. But at length the light went out, and tho rattling ceased.
Then of a sudden the end of the chamber became luminous, and in that white light I beheld pietuv after picture. I saw the ancient Nile rolling through deserts to the sea. There wero no men upon its banks, nor any signs of man, nor any Temples to tho Gods. Only wild bird3 moved on Sihor's lonely face, and monstrous brutes plunged and wallowed in his waters. Tho sun sunk in majesty behind tho Libyan Desert and -atunOd. ilio.: tho OiOinitSlIlS towered up toward tho silent sky but in mountain, desert and river thero was no sign of human life. And then 1 knew that I saw th" an b""i before man was, and a terror of its lonelinoss entered my soul.

flame and pulogo. They sto%
bands to
an(j rent
and
murdered, dashing out th«V -aina.ftf children with axo3 of stone. And, though no voice told me, I knew that I saw man as he was tens of thousands of years ago when first he marched across the earth.
Yet another picture. Once again I saw tho banks of Sihor but on them fair cities bloomed like flowers. In and out their gates went men and women, and laden asses passing to and fro from wide, wtsll tilled lands. But I saw no guards or armies, and no weapons of war. All was wisdom prosperity and peace. And, while I wondered, a glorious figure, clad in raiment thatshone as flame, came from the gates of a shrine, and the sound of music went before and followed after him. He mounted an ivory throne which was set a marketplace facing the water, and as the sun set called all the multitudes to prayer. With ono voice they prayed, bending in adoration. And I understood that herein was shown the reign of the Gods on earth, which was long before the days of Menes.
A ohange came -over the dream. Stii, tbe same fair ci|yj but other men —men with greed

and eyii on their
faces-who hated th«P bonds of righteous doiug, and set their hearts on sin. The evening came tho 'glorious figure mounted the throne and called-to prayer, but none bowed themselves in adoration. "We are aweary of theei!" they cried. "Make Evil Kingl Slay him I slay him I and loose tho bonds o£ Evil I Make Evil King!"
Mightily £$rt»e the glorious shape, gazing with miid eyes upon those wicked ones. "Ye know not what ye ask," ho cried
Hbutas

Some few were happy and soma had woe'stamped mpoa their facos but most bore not the seal of happiness nor of woe, hat rather oS patience. And ever as they pass«d from age to age, high above ia tbe heavens tho Avenger fottght on with the Evil Tiling, while tho scale of victory swung now here, now there hot neither conquered, nor was it given to me to knew how the battle
And I understood that what I was the hisly vision of the struggle between ibeGood xnd the Evil powers. I saw that »naa Was created vile, but those who are above took pity ect him and earns down to him to make him good and happy, for the two things are one thing. But man retunned again to his wicked way, and then did the *rigfe& spirit of Good, who hi of «s called Osiris, but who hath many name*, etter himself np for the evil doing of the race that had dethroned him.

XQO picture passea, ANA once AGAIN the Pri&st, my guide, spoke to me. "Hast thou understood, Harmachis, those things which it bath been granted thee to
uj have," said. "Are the rites ended tH "Nay, they are but begun. That which follows must thou endure alone 1 Bohold, I leave thee, to return at the morning light Once more I warn thee that which thou shalt see few may look upon and live. In all my days have I known but three who dared to facw this dread hour, and of those three at dawn but one was found alive. Myself, I have not trod this path. It Is too high for me." "Depart," I said "my soul is athirst for knowledge. I will dare it"
Ho laid his hand upon my head and blessed me. He went. I heard the door shut to behind him, the echoes of his footsteps slowly died away. Then 1 felt that I was alone, alone in the Holy place with things which are not of tho earth. SUenco fell—silenco deep and black as the darkness which was around me. Tho silence fell it gathered as tho cloud gathered on the faco of the moon that night when, a lad, I prayed upon tho pylon towers. It gathered denser and yet more dense till it seemed to creep into my heart and call aloud therein for utter silence has a voice that is more terrible than tho voico of any cry. I spoke the echoes of my words came back upon me from the walls and seemed to beat me down. The stillness was lighter to endure than an echo such as this. What was I about to veci Should I die, even now, in the fullness •at vaj youth and strength! Terrible were the warnings that had been given to me. I was fear-stricken, and bethought mo that I would fly. Fly!—fly whither? The temple door was barred I could not fly. I was alone with tho Godhead, alone with tho power that I had invoked. Nay, my heart was pure—my heart was pure I I would face tbe terror that waa to come, even though I died. "isis, holy Mother," I prayed, "Isis, Spouse of Heaven, come unto me, be with mo now. I faint 1 bo with me now."
And then I knew that things were not as things had been. The air around mo began to stir, it rustled as the wings of eagles, it took Ufa Bright eyes gased upon me, strange whispers shook my soul. Upon the darkness were bars of light They changed and interchanged, they moved to and fro and wove mystic symbol* which I could not read. Swifter and swifter flew that shuttle of the light the symbols grouped, gathered, faded, gathered yet again, faster mid still more fast, till my eyes could no more count them. Now I was afloat upon a sea of gloi-y it surged and rolled, as the ocean rolls it tossed me high, it brought me low. Glory was piled on glory, splendor heaped on splendor's head, and I rode above it all»
Socn the lights began to pale in tho rolling sea of air. Great shadows shot across it, lines of darkness pierced it and rushod together on its breast, till at length I only was a shsue of flame set like a star on the bosom of immeasurable night Bursts of awful music gathered from fat- away. Miles and miles away I heard them, thrilling faintly through the gloom. On they came, nearer and more near, louder and more loud, till they swept past above, below, around me, swept on rushing pinions, terriryttig and enchanting mo. They floated by, ever growing fainter, till fchsy died in space. Then others came, and no two were akin. Some rattled as ten thousand slstra shaken all to tune. Somo rang from tho brazen throats of. unnumbered clarions. Some pealed with a loud, swoot chant of voices that were more than human and somo rolled along in the slow thunder of a million drums. They passed theirnoteawero lost in dying echoes and the awful silence once more pressed in upon mo and overcame me.
Tho strength within mo began to fail. I felt my life ebbing at its springs. Death drew* near to me» and his shape was Silence. He entered at my heart, entered miih a. amma a- AAU*.„hut mv brain was atill alive, I could yet think. I knew that I was drawing near the confines of the dead. Nay, I was dying fast, and oh, tho horror of it 1 I strove to pray and could not there was no more time for prayer. Ono struggle and the stillness crcpt into my

brain. The terror passe an unfathomable weight of sleep pressed me down. I was dying, I was dying, and then I was dead—nothingness I ,«
A change—life came back to me, but between the new life and the life that had been was a gulf aad difference. Once more I stood iu the darkness of the shrine, but it blinded me no more. It wss clear ss the light of day, although it was still black. I stood And yet it was not I who stood, but rather my spiritual part for at my feet lsy my dead self. There it lay, rigid and still, a 'stamp of awful calm sealed upon iu face while I gazed on it
And as I gazed, filled with wonder, I was caught ap on the Wings of Flame and whirled away! awayt faster than the lightning flash. Down I fell, through depths of empty spaca, set here and tbere with glittering crowns of stars. Down for tea million miles and ten times ten million, till at length hovered over a place of soft, unchanging light, wherein were Temples, Palaces and Abodes, such as no man ever saw in tbe wildest visions of his sleep. They were built of Flame, and they were built of Blackness. Their spires pierced up snd up their great courts stretched around. Even as I hovered they changed continually to tbe eye what was Same became blackness, what waa blackness became flame. Here was the Sash of crystal, and there the blase of gems shone even throoah tbe glory that rolls around the city which ia ia tho Place of Death. There were trees, and their voice as they rustled was tbe voice of music there was air, and as it blew Its breath was tbe sobbing notes of eoag.
Sbafiee, changing, mysterious, wonderful, rasbod up to meet me and bore me dowa till I seemed to stand upon another earth. "Who comes!" cried a great votes. ••'Harmschls," answered the Shapes that changed continually. "Harmachis, wbo been summoned from the earth to look upon the face ef Her, that Was, and Is, aad Shall Be. Child oi Berth in "Throw back tbe Gate* and open wide the ZhMNrai" pealed the awful vofeet. •Throw hack tbe Gates aad opea wide tbe Doors.

S*aaa oe, Child of Earth bo** before Uwa geesi»loofe ap that thou mayest Sears hew far thm art removed Iron earth.1"
I looked up. Beyond the glory that shone about the city was black night, and high on its bosom twinkled ono tiny star. "Behold the world that thou hast left" said the voice, "behold and tremble."
Then my lipa and eyes were touched and sealed with silence and with darkness, so that was dumb and blind. And the gates rolled back, the doors swung wide, and 1 waa swept Into the city that is in the place of Death. Swiftly 1 was swept I know not whither, till at length I stood upon my feet Again the same voice pealed: "Draw the vail of blackness from his eyes, unseal the silence on his lips, that Harmachis, Child of Earth, may see, hear and understand, and make adoration at the shrine of Her, that Was, and Is, and Shall Be."
And my hps and eyes were touched once more, so that my sight and speech came back.
Bohold 1 I stood within a hall of blackest marble, so lofty that scarce oven in the rosy light could my vision roach the great groins of the roof. Music wailed about its spaces, and all ad own its long-h stood winged spirits fashioned ia living flame, and such was tho brightness of then- forms that I could not look thereon.

USE OF MTCE TAILS.
The Canning Roslont* Find Them tiSofal When lighting Kach Other. Before wo fIRd much observed mice the use of their long tails wns a question that had puzzled us. We do not know of what service they are to the females, but to the bucks they are. we see, of use in their combats for when they light they very Often face one another standing on their hind legs, the tail then making, as with kangaroos, the third feature of tripod.
Their appearance, when they thus stand facing one another with their heads thrown back and their paws in front of their faces, id on account parhaps of tho resemblance it bear* to the posture of prize-fighters extremely comic. Small mice, also, when attacked by their bigger congeners, raise their paws before their faces, tho attitude in that case strangely suggesting one of deprecation.
What occurs when belligerent bucks actually engage, ouly instantaneous photography could record, so rapidly are their movements. Presumably, they try to bite, but must consider defense the bettor part of valor, for they never appear to get hurt much, and between the rounds will nibble away at the crust which brought tliem into the vicinago, only showing their excitement by rattling their tails against the ground. Occasionally a tail seized by the teeth leads to one mouse having to drag liis enemy over tho floor till the latter lets go.
What Is "Stylo?"
"The difference betwoen ono woman and another," said Dr. Louiso Fisko Bryson recently, "is more than anything else an affair of style that beau ty of beauties so hard to define and easy to recognizo, which inako3 the girl of no-c,olor hair, features of indifferent turn^and linos nono too perfect infinitely- ihore attractive than other maids of faultless curves and innumerable strong points ndft cemented by this magic quality. Style may bo de•AwWi til express it, ns an attractive mnnnor of holding the body, a firm, graceful way of doing things and of moving about It is the visible sign of inherent power and reserve force. It is tho outcomo of long, deep breaths and tho uso of many muscles. The prayer of tho New York child, 'Lord, make us very Btylish!' when viewod aright is recog nized us an aspiration based upon -sound scientific principles and worthy of universal commendation.1'
Raise Roses.
'•If you want to make money and at the samo time enjoy your work," said a man, "raise roses. Whon I moved into the country I built a conservatory to grow roses, for I am very fond ot them. From time to time I built additions to my hothouses, and in time found that I was raising more roses than I know what to do with. So 1 began to sell them. I learned that there was a good winter demand for them In fact, a very
