rhe Merrx. Month OF WAY.

The local of the Atlanta New Era is
enthused on the subject Of May, and the
following is his account of the origin OF
the name of the month: 80
Jupiter was the chief 0lympian dig
nitary. He was married legally to Mrs.
Juno, but, we regret 10 state, that at
times he was disloyal to her. History
records several instances in which he
squeezed hands on which Juho's rings
were not, and kissed lips that were not
Juno's. OF course il was all wrong, but
it is a privilege accorded TO people who
occupy exalted stations.
One day, when Jove grew weary of
playing with thunderbolts and lightning

Carrier Pigeons.

From the Lewiston (Me.l JOurnal.l
We noticed, few days since, at Mr. Il.
Wrights store, a flock Of beautiful car
rier pigeons, which are very tame and at
tractive. Mr.. Wright, three years ago,
sold carrier dove, reared az his place,
TO a gentleman in a distant town. This
gentleman subsequently sold the dove to
another party still further from Lewiston,
A few weeks ago there was a tapping Of
wings at the doorway Of his store The
door opeI ed, in stepped the keen-eyed,
beautiful dove, which three years before
had been carried miles away, and had
now seized the first moment Of freedom
to Gee, like a spirit, home.
Not long since. Mr.. Wright sent a dove
from his flock 20 friend in Portland,
saving 10 him. Let this dove loose at
O clock to-day. Atl.3s o'clock-thirty-

he, the sly old coon, thought it would be
a good chance to get kiss under the
rose Accordingly, Mrs. Juno being
just longing for some flowers, told him
to go and make haste back, as she wanted
a bouquet to take out when she went to
see Mrs. Venus to talk that little matter
over. Jupiter had been sweet on Venus,
and Juno was in the suds about it.
But to go back again to our sheep,
Jupiter, armed with the consent of his
wife, leaped forth from the house as
though he were a young man going out
for a game of base ball, and took the
direction that Miss Maia had gone. 1t
was not long before he overlook her.
He had met her ut party few evenings
before, and though she was only a shy
school girl, she was buxom, sentimental
like other girls) and wore kind OF a
look upon her face which indicated pretty
plainly that she had no objections to a
kiss or two if a good occasion offered.
Qn this we do not mean to say she was
like other girls.)
When Jupiter had overtaken the Miss,
he suddenly became very intent upon

upon her entirely by accident, The girl
biushed, and he tried to look as if he
we're taken by surprise; but pretty soon
they were sitting upon bank of violets
cooling as costly as two sucking doves.
But Jove knew Mrs. June would be
after him directly if he didn't get home
with the flowers, so he made up his mind
that he had to go, but he very much
longed for kiss before he went; Finally,
raising to tear himself away" he also
assisted the lady to her feet, and still
holding on to her hand, he said: " Miss
Maia?" Naia "s And the the donnie lassie " an
swered "You may" Jupiter was so
pleased with the answer that he immedi-
ately rushed off to the Olympian spring,
got Jug of fresh water, and christened
that particular part of the year May, and
ever since it has been known by that
name. P
N. Bile got the kiss.

How the Rats stole the Eggs.

Several hens had been laying in the
same nest, and day after day the nest
had been examined by boy who gave
his attention to such things, and the
number never seemed to increase. The
boy being satisfied that there was some
sly trick practiced upon him, determined
to watch the result and detect the impo-
sition if possible. The nest was in the
corner Of the fence, about three rods in
the rear Of the meat-hOuse. One bright
morning about S o clock, he heard hen
cackle and ran to the nest, and there
were three eggs in It He Immediately
concealed himself behind the ash-hopper
and waited 10 see what might follow.
Presently a rat came from beneath the
meat-house, then another, and then a
third, and proceeded to the nest, when
one oftheni threw himself upon his back,
the other two rolled an egg upon him,
when the rat which was on his back
clamped fast with his fore legs, and the
other two took him by the tail and
moved of briskly to the hole out Of
which they had emerged, and rolled the
egg IN and returned for another. when
the boy interfered and arrested the pro
oeeding - Chrisfian Observer.

The Ear OF nionxsius.

In Oliver Optics Magazine there re-
Gently appeared the following account
of a wonder which all have read some
thing about:
In the neighborhood Of Syracuse, in
Sicily, is cave of great depth, which IS
said to have been built by Dionysius the
Elder, tyrant or usurper, who was
born about B. C. 430, and died B. c. 1867,
in the sixty-third year Of his age and the
thirty-ninth of his rule. This, cave was
two hundred and fifty feet long and
eighty feet high. 1t was fashioned in
the form of human ear, and the faint
est sounds were carried from all parts to
a central chamber, which corresponded
to the tympanum or drum of the ear.
In this remarkable whispering gallery
Dionysius imprisoned all who were OBJ
jects of his suspicious, while he himself
was in the habit of passing entire days
in the innermost chamber, listening TO
the conversation Of his victims, in order
that he might ascertain for himself who
were really his enemies. Ancient wri-
ters tell us that the workmen who con-
structed the cavern were put TO death to
prevent them from divulging the use to
which it was to be put, and that whole
families were sometimes confined in it
at once. Modern travellers relate that
even at the present day, notwithstand-
ing the changes that have been wrought
by time, the echo is such that the tear
ing of sheet of paper at the entrance
can be distinctly heard at the remotest
part. Pieces of iron and lead have been
found in making excavation, aud they
are thought to be the remains Of the
chains and staples by which the prison
ers were confined ren slaE

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
The Residence of Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria has but one residence
in London, namely, Buckingham Palace.
Drawing-room and other ceremonies con-
nected with official state are held at the
old palace of st. James, but that build
ing has been deserted as regal home,
Her Majesty having taken possession OF
Buckingham Palace in the first year OF
her reign. Windsor, Osborne, Balmoral,
are frequently honored by Her Majesty s
presence, Her Majesty has also recently
spent some time at the White Lodge,
Richmond, but Buckingham Palace is
her only. town residence, and there virtu-
ally is held the Court of st. James.
The good taste of Her Majesty has
made Buckingham Palace graceful and
imposing structure, by removing the
most Objectionable portion of the old
building, and by adding to it the magni-
ficent eastern frontage which looks out
upon the park The eastern front is 800
feet in length, and was formed in 1916,
under the direction of Mr. Blore, at a
cost of el50000.
The interior of Buckingham Palace is
magnificent. The grand staircase is of
white marble; the walls richly decorated
with frescoes by Gruner, emblematically
portraying the progress of the day and
night The library is admirably ar
ranged, and well stored with literary
treasures the famous collection of books
made by King George III is not there,
having been removed for the use OF the
nation to the British Museum. The YES
tibules and waiting-rooms are, as might
be expected, gorgeously decorated with
draperies paintings, gliding and plate
glass; and in the sculpture gallery are
some of the choicest works of modern
sculptors. But the picture gallery is
usually more interesting to visitor than
any other portion of the palace; it in
cludes the choice collection of Sir
Thomas Barring, and the pictures are,
with scarcely an exception, first-rate
works of art.
The portraits are chiefly hung in the
state rooms, and are the productions OF
the most celebrated painters. The col
lection is exceedingly interesting, and
is frequently enriched by fresh additions.
The throne room is magnificent apart
ment. 1t is sixty-four feet in length;
the ceiling richly emblazoned; the frieze
of white marble, representing the Wars
of the Roses: the walls hung with Grim
son satin. and the whole of the furniture
and fittings on the same scale of regal
grandeur,
The green drawing-room is about fifty
feet in length, hung with green satin and
enriched with splendid mirrors. The
grand saloon and the state ballroom are
decorated in the most brilliant style
scagliola columns. Gilt capitals. ceilings
glowing with color. glass and gold. and
