Human TlOrnS,

There are certain dsagreeable people
in this world who seem to take special
delight in annoying others by reminding
them of things they would willingly for
get. They are human thorns, forever
torturing their fellow-men for the sake of
torture. Has man met with misfor-
tune in business, they are forever recall
ing the fact. Has a man in times that
are gone wandered INTO devious paths,
they are forever reminding him of it,
often by congratulating him that that is
past. Has a man Numbered, they are
forever telling him what "might have
been" When the thDrn is of the mascu-
line gender, there is one way of getting
relief. He can be Knocked down and
taught manners. When the thorn is of the
feminine gender, the case is different and
not so easily disposed of. But Causeur
hears of one such scourge in petticoats
who got her deserts the other evening.
1t was at a little party, where some score
of people where gathered together. The
thorn sat near a young man who, in days
gone by, had been guilty of foliies that
cost him dearly. He had put them al
behind him. But the thorn took occa-
sion to recall them, in subdued and
confidential tone. The victim, who had
been subjected to the same torture before
spoke up so that all could hear!
Madam" he said, "for five years ]
have been trying TO forget all that. You
have been trying to remember it. You
have succeeded better than l. Icongratu.
late YOU" The thorn subsided.

Slightly Sarcastic,

The professor of geology and miner
alogy came along after the hard listed
miners had found a rich gold mine and
said he: "There is no doubt but that
gold is here in large quantities. If you
find it rich it will pay" This was in
California.
A little before this some hardy pro-
spectors loaded little mule with flour,
bacon and tools. They travelled many
miles north and finally found a rich
mine in Cariboo. The professor OF
geology and mineralogy came along and
said: Everything hereaoouts, Judging
from the formation of the country and
the gangue rock indicates the existence
of gold" Then the miners forgot that
they had discovered the gold themselves
and they gave all the credit and bowed
down before the professor. Then some
miners went south to Arizona, and after
starving for want of food and choking
with thirst. and few of their number
being toasted head downward by the
Apaches, they found rich silver mine
Shortly afterward down came the pro,
fessor, and said he: "Themetamorphic
and plutonic rocks herealout certainly
point to the existence of argentiferou:
ores" And as usual the miners and all
around about forget they had discovered
the mine, and gave all the credit to tho
professor. Well, he followed those
simple miners around to Utah, New
Mexico, Pixies Peak, Nevada and Fraser
river, and everywhere they dug first he
came afterward, looked down the hole
with book under his arm, said some
hard words, and everybody straightway
said he had found the mine and that nc
mine could be true win until it had
been scientifically dedicated by pro.
fessor.-NeU York Gr6phic.

push on for home. The junks had gone
about, but we knew that they were
doomed, and the roar of the broadside
soon informed us that it would be quick
work. All Wing never moved. He
would have kept that revolver pointed

not told him that he might put it away.

Point when All Wing came up and said: :

We had jolly dinner the next night.
Lieutenant Graham and couple of his
officers came lust in time. they had
handed the survivor of the junks' crews
over to the Chinese authorities, in whose
care our rascally lowdah also was. They
had made short work of their fight, and
had no casualties. When the cloth was
removed, 1 tried to get Manson to make a
speech, but the only thing l could get
him to say was that he was never less
bored in his life than during the skirm-
ish.

drifts between the Old and the New
World, and when l last wrote to him l
quoted Hawthorne's expression about
the danger of doing so until the only in
heritance left him in either was the six
feet for his final resting-place. But, as
l had before insisted to my group in the
smoking-room, it is a great mistake to
judge by appearances, and | am surer of
nothing than that | shall never see a
finer fellow, on this side of Jordan, than
my friend, the man without enthusiasms.

Slipper.ThrOwing.

The ancient custom of throwing an
old slipper after the bride as she leaves
her home is still in many places be-
lieved to bring luck to the happy couple.
But it may be a question whether the
old shoe was thrown for luck only. 1t
is stated in Holy Writ that 1.-THE re-
ceiving of a shoe was an evidence and
symbol of rejecting or resigning it,"
The latter is evidence in Deuteronomy,
twenty-ffth chapter, where the cere-
mony of a widow rejecting her hus-
bands brother in marriage is by loosing
his shoe from off his foot. And in Ruth
we are told that it was the custom in
Israel concerning changing that man
plucked off his shoe and delivered it to
his neighbor." Hence the throwing OF
a shoe after bride was symbol of re-
nunciation of dominion and authority
over her by her father OF guardian, and
the receipt of the shoe by the bride
groom, even if accidental, was an omen
that the authority was transferred te
him.

A Bath i'm the Dead Sea.

A correspondent, after bathing in the
Dead Sea, describes his experience in the
following words: The water, which is
quite clear, and nearly the color of the
Niagara river below the falls, seemed to
me little more bitter and salty than that
of Salt lake, although brighter and more
attractive to the eye when sen close at
hand. Its supporting power struck me as
little greater, also, than that of Salt
lake, as the body floated more easily, and
the difficulty of swimming was greater
on account of the inability to keep ones
feet under water. So large aquantity of
salt is held in solution that the water has
what is called, l believe, a 'ropy" ap-
pearance, much like that of plate of
well-made tapioca soup. L observed,
however, that when we came out of the
water there was not so large deposit OF
salt crystals on the body as after bath
in Salt lake and the feeling of the skin,
instead of being dry and prickly as | ex-
pected, was rather oily and sticky. Oul
dinner that night was seasoned with salt
made from Dead Sea water by solal
evaporation. 1t was little lighter in
| color than the best article of brown sugar
Its crystals were large and hard, and
| though foreign substances were evidently
present in considerable quantity, it wa:
not unpleasant to tie taste. / was tolC
that two quarts of water will produces
one quart of salt, but this is probably al
exaggeration. To complete the statistic
of this remarkable body of water, l ma,
add, what many of my readers may al
ready know-that there is no living thin!
of any kind in it; that even the drift
wood brought down by the floods in tn
Jordon is speedily cast upon its shores
that its length is about forty-five and it
greatest width about ten miles; that it i
over 1900 feet at its deepest point; an
that the immense quantity of fresh waite
poured into it daily is undoubtedly take
up by evaporation, as its great depth be
low the basin of the Mediterranean mus
preclude the idea of subterranean out
let.

May Baskets.

Open the window, Margie,
And draw the screen away;
Ny life is dull December,
But my hearts as young rs May.
Listen The laugh of children
'Tis q foolish thought, know,
But it minds me Of one May morning
Seventy years ago,
When a merry troop Of children
Weakened the quiet street
With babble of talk and laughter,
And swinging, like censers sweet,
The dear old-tfme May baskets,
Ribboned and pink and white
With the blessed bloom that gladdenod
The gloom of the Pilgrims night.
And know by the robins carol,
And the tender green see
In the tops of the dear old willows,
That the May will come to me.
Margie, the scent of May-flowers
/ surely, surely know
That one sweet breath! Could the south
wind
Bring it so far They grow
A mile away on the hillside.
But there's q knock at the door;
Oh tor an hour of quiet,
To live my May-days DER
What's this From Karl and Carrie"
Oh, let my chair be rolled
Just there-into the sunshine
And give me them to hold
knew their breath, dear Margie;
Forgive these foolish tears,
But God has sent these May-fowers
Across the seventy years

ChelidOnisma.

Chelidonisma is the swallow song, an
old popular song of the return of tn
swallows, which the boys of Rhodes
went about singing, of which the refrain
meant. "He has come, has come the
wallow - 1t is reported by Athen@us
about A. D. 200.
Hark Hark to hear
The burst of cheer
That brings again the budding year
Through air, through earth,
Resounds the mirth,
And hills ring with the merry birth;
The swallow chirps his twittering tone,
And the Rhodan lads prolong
With minstrel strain their joeund song
Helth', helthe, chelidon.
Adown the wales,
The dingles, dales,
The breath of melody exhales;
And happy lanes and proud-pied plains
Swell out the pomp of glad refrains
And bark above the swallows tone
Helth', helthe, chelidon.
Glad chanticleer
Chants out his cheer,
His paen piping to the year;
The boys blithe voice
Makes mirth its choice,
And all the happy hills rejoice.
Hark Listen to the swallows tone
Helth', helthe, ehelidon.
The earth's great heart,
With throb and start,
In universal joy takes part;
And clouds that fly
Athwart the sky
COUGHING in fieecy clusters lie;
And oh how sweet the swallows tune
Heth', helthe, chelidon.
The spring, the spring
Makes Nature sing,
And life and love are on the wing,
And lads and lasses caroling;
Soft in mid-air the swallows tone
On earth
Helth', helthe, chelidon.
