A Decidedly Cool Monk.

A monk, on his way to Luaarshe
the other day, fell in with a stranger
riding in the same direction, with
whom ke entered into conversation,
and wes charmed with the agreeable
sallies of his companion. The latter
learning from the monk that he was
in charge OF a sur Of money belong
ing to his convent, and was proceed
ing thither, observed that he himself
was travelling toward that part Of the
country, and that by taking short cut
through the forest they would mate
rally abridge their journey. When
they were in the thick Of the wood,
toe stranger dismounted from his
horse, seized the monks bride, and
with many threats insisted on his de-
livering up the money he had with
him.
II do not carry it about me-" re-
piled the other "allow me to get OF my
horse and 1 will call the lay brother
who follows me with the baggage and
hand you over the one Thousand livre."
The stranger consented, and the monk
rejoining his attendant, took from
him a purse containing the sum speci-
fed, and also apistol, which he hid In
his sleeve ; then, throwing the purse on
the ground, he waited until the rob
Der was In the act Of STOPPING to pick

related to the authorities what he had

by his side. Searching his person,
they discovered In . secret pocket .

his mouth and blew with all his force.
A few minutes after, ten well.armed

History OF the Tomato.

A good many years ago . man who
had recently arrived from the Ber-
muda Islands was sent to York
county, Pa, Jail for some offense. He
had with him q few seeds which he
planted in the rich soil Of the Jail yard.
Before the plants grew to maturity,
he was discharged, and no one knew
the name or nature of them. They
grew l~uxuriantly, bearing fruit OF a
large sise and unusual appearance.
As this strange fruit ripened, it's color
changed from green to a brilliant red,
and became an object of wonder and
admiration to all the inmates of the
Jail. Mrs. Klinsfelter, the lady keeper,
cautioned the prisoners against eating
any OF the fruit, as she was sure ii WA
poisonous, and she endeavorsd to pre-
serve specimens of 1t for him should
he return In time.
Just when the fruit was fully ma
tured the Bermuda prisoner revisited
the jail and asked to see the plant
This r quest granted, he next called
forpepper, salt and vinegar, and to the
horror OF the good lady commenced
to est the supposed poisonous fruit
with q relish that astonishsd the be-
holders. After en- Toying the strange
repast he informed Mrs. X. that the
fruit or vegetable was the tomato, or
love apple and it would be found
wholesome and nutritious. The seeds
were then distributed among the
friends and neighbors OF the lady,
thus introducing this now popular
esculent into the ancient and goodiy
borough of Y. rk. For many years
thereafter 1t was cultivated as an or
nament rather than fos table o bat
by degrees ITS merits began to be more
fully undentood and appreciated, and
then 1t grew into general public ia
-vos.

The Dog Star.

what has been Found out Concerning the
Worlds that Circle Round Him.
During the winter months one star
can be seen TO the right of the glorious
Orion, but lower down, which shines
more splendidly than any other star
In the heavens, though not quite equal
In brightness to either of the two
planets Jupiter and Venus. 1t Is
Sirius, the dog star, and has In all ages
excited the admiration of all obser-
vers.
1t is supposed by some that this
splendid star has changed in color
during the last 1900 years, for ancient
Greek and Roman writers speak of it
as a red star, and Seneca even said that
Sirius was ruddier than Mars. But
most probably the red light referred to
by those older writers wa. simply that
occasional flashing of red light from
the star which you see whenever
Sirius is close to the horizon, when, as
Tennyson writes:
II merry SIRIUS alters hue
And olckers Into red and emerald,
When you have learned what Sirius
really Is, you will see how unlikely 1t
Is that he can have changed In color
within 1900 years. period which
seems long to us, but is really as
nothing in the lifetime of a star.
But what is Sirius? Does the teIe-
scope, which seems to bring far OBJ
Jects near, tell us anything about him
as 1t does about Jupiter, Saturn and
the other planets? The telescope
scarcely tells US anything. The largest
vet made by man only shows Sirius
as very bright star. Sir Williar
Herschel tells us that when his great
telescope with its four-feet mirror was
turned towards Sirius, the approach OF
the star to the field of view reminded
MIN of the approach of daybrsak. But
When the star was fairly In view it
showed no globe like that of the sun
IL was a mere star, though, of course,
very much brighter than any star in
the sky. And 1t is pretty certain that
men will never be able tc make a tele-
scope which win sho " the real body
of this splendid star.
Yet, for all this, we know quite well
what Sirius is. He il a sun like ours
only very much larger. He lies about
10000 times farther from us than the
sun and We know that if the sun
were set 800 times farther away than
he is, he would only look like a star.

fact, he would only Just be fairly visi.

be very faint indeed compared with
Sirius, shining only with about one
two-hundredth part of that stars

ms how large Sirius is, because his
great brightness may he partly due to
the greater splendor of his sarface. A

A Bold Trick.

One of the shrewdest and boldest
tricks ever played On a jewsler was
done by a woman of nerve in Cincin-
natl not long ago. One day, a middle
aged woman of fine personal appear
ance, we'll dressed, and ofmost attract
i've manners, called at a private
lunatic asylum and ask ed to see the
superintendent. That official met her
In the parlor.
II wish to make arrangements FOR
the confinement Of q patient here"
she said.
"What are your terms and the con
ditions on which you receive your
inmates ?"
"Our terms are fifteen dollars per
week, and you must have the certifi-
cate Of two physicians"
Every WELL" said the lady, II will
pay you for two weeks in advance.
The patient is my son, who Is insane
ON the subject of diamonds. He has =
mania for selling my jewelry. 1 have
not yet gotten the certificates Of the
physicians, but can easily do SO I
viii bring my son here this afternoon,
and II you will keep him an hour /
will bring the physician with the
authority"
Then the lady entered her carriage
and drove to a jewelry store. There
she selected $4,000 worth Of jeweiry,
which she said was intended for the
the troussesu Of her daughter about TO
be married. She gave the name Of a
wealthy family reet ntIy arrived In
Cincinnati, and said TO the proprietor
"If you will let one Of your clerks
step into the carriage with me, I will
20 to my husbands store and give
HIM the money for the goods"
The proprietor consented, and the
clerk, with the goods in q box, entered
the carriage with the lady. who said
abe wished to stop on the way aud 81 ow
her pMchAse to y friend. They drove
to the asylum and were shown to the
parlor. The superintendent entered
and the lady said quite calmly to the
clerk: "Jua open the box and show
the things to this gentleman"
The clerk unsuspeetingly complied
Csrelessly drawing near, the lady sud-
denly sliced the box, and was walking
out Of the room with 1t when the as
tonished clerk cried:
Hold on, madam, I msst not let
those goods go out of my sight until i
get the money"
The lady did not deign to notice the
clerk, but turning to the superintend-
ent Of the asylum, said:
This il the young man I spoke to
you about. He Is getting q little VIC
lent. You had better secure him."
1t was in vain the clerk protested
that . robbery was being committed.
The superintendent was inexornble.
He called his assistant, and secured
the clerk, while the lady walked to
her carriage with the "a. 900 worth OF
jewelry.

Who 10 the Joke on1

The following touching bit Of fun APP
pears in the Dantury Netos mans
book, and we are somewhat puzzled to
see Just where the rub" comes in:
"Doyou children read the papers ?"
isaquestion one ofourteschers has been
for some time propounding. Noticing
that an article giving an impressive
scene in Norway, where the sun
sets, was circulating quite freely In the
papers, she hit upon 1t ss q test case.
Saturday, but In a class of eleven boys
who we're asked: where does the
sun never set? Only of the boys
could give an answer. He said :" IN a
bench"
This was very fnnDy indeed, but we
will predic. IL the boy had answered
correctly, and said, In space, both
teacher and newspaper man would
have been somewhat surprised.
Think of 1t for a moment: the idea Of
an article going the rounds OF intelli.
gent papers describing q location In
Norway, or anywhere on earth, THAT
the sun never sets"
Wenoticsd a long, so-called scientific
letter in the Times a short time ago at.
lacking peoples supenstitions about
the moon, which went on to describe
the moons phases, as produced by
the shadow of the earth passing over
it." This only goes to show that peo-
pie may be well educated and not well
informed. We have heard Of clergy
men teaching Of God. who had no non
ception of his having made any worl ,
but this; never looked into u micro
scope, Or through a telescope, and
taught their h, arers that his .ole bust
was running the little ball which
science shows to be of the count
less millions.
Doubtless thousands upon thousands
of people read the above articles, and
mol one in a Thousand ever knew that
there was no spot On this earth where,
the u did not set, or that the moons
phases were caused by its own shadow
and not by the shadow Of the earth.

Among the Marris.

Among the Marris of India. if a
young man wants to marry, his father
takes with him some friends, and they
set out towards the village or house
indicated by the youth. If they hear
abrd chipping on the way, they re-
turn dismayed-it Is a bad omen. II
they meet a hare or a squirrel, a wild
boar or a mountain cat, it is likewise
an evil omen. But If they meet a sts q
or a bullock, q buffalo or a Young
maiden, It is a good omen, aud they
go on their way rejoicing. The chirp-
ing of the bird, a ca or hare. wild
boar or qsuirrel, may make two
fond hearts disconsolate f; for, once
abandoned, a search In that direction
again for a wife would be profanity.
