EVERYTHING was Petrifled.

As an illustrate Of the colossal liars
of the West. General McCook relates the
following He was travelling among the
Rocky Mountains, and strayrng out one
morning from the trail, stood for a mo-
ment entranced by the magnificent land
scape spread before him, when he was
aroused from his meditations by the foot
steps OF one of the guides who had fol
lowed him lest he should lose his way.
'.Is this not magnificent, Billy" ex-
claimed the General, anxious to share
his delight.
otis mighty purity, Gineral, said the
guide, "but l kin show you bigger sights
nor this Why, one time Kansas Jim and
me had been trampin' three days and
nights, and we came TO plain, and right
in the midst of it was forest all turned

The General smiled and remarked: ~

The guideexpectorated without chang

The General turned IN amused counte-

An InsnIted Fat Woman.

A woman weighing 500 pounds, wear
ing her hair cut short, entered the office
of the President of the San Antonio
street railroad company, and in a voice
that was cross BETWEEN a bass violin
and boiler shop, said
~ came here to complain of the driver
of one of your cas-
whats he been doingl" asked the
official.
In crossing the car track I had the
misfortune to slip and fall, and l could
not get up right away. for as you see l
am not Sarah Bernhardt. I'm fat all

"Well, what next?"
1.-THE driver OF the street car stopped
his mule and insulted me ="
''What did he say!'
.'He said if would get up and let
him drive on that | could sit down
again on the car track as soon as the car
had passed"
II shall have him reprimanded, " said
the official
Thank you, sir; thank you. I'll pa

Good morning. SIR

WORDS OF WISDOM.

No man is more severely punished
shan he who is subject to the whip OF his
own remorse.
He that will not look before him will
have to look behind him-and probably
with some regret.
Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The
past cannot be changed. The future is
yet in your power.
He is rich whose income is more than
his expenses, and he is poor whose ex-
penses exceed his income.
If we hope for what we are not likely
10 possess, we act and think in vain, and
make life greater dream and shadow
than it really is.
1t is impossible that an iIl-natured
man can have public spirit, for how
shall he love ten thousand men who
never loved onel
There cannot be more worthy i'm
provement of friendship than in fer
vent opposition to the sins of those whom
we profess to love.
Love is like painter. who, in draw
ing the picture of friend having a
blemish in one eye, would picture only
the other side Of the face.
A child who grows up loving good
books is saved from many temptations
that beset the empty-minded. He can
always find a good companion; he need
never be lonely.
lie IS the greatest man who chooses
the right with in mcible resolution, who
bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully,
and whose reliance on truth and virtue
is the most unfaltering.

The idea on which oatbs, or adjura-
ti0ns, was founded was that the unseen
powers or deities would always punish

unfyuthful Is he would on ordinary oe-
casions. but whenever he called on one
Of the gods to witness the truth Of his
assertion, be was bound 20 keep his word,
lest the deity, outraged Al beng made

eiai vengeance upon him. From this
idea. which has survived from the ear
lest times 20 the present, came the belief
that the proximity OF an object regarded
o. sacred made the oath more binding;
J. e., made men more afraid 10 violate it.
Tie ancient Jews touched their phylac-
ieries in taking an oath. Later, their
practice was 70 lay their hand upon the
book of she law, whence came our Gus
tom Of swearing on the Bible. The va
rious customs Of taking oaths in different
counties, have all similar origin. The
early AHglo-ssxons laid the hands on d
pillar Of stone, because stones were re-
gsrded as sacred 70 their gods. In me
dievai times il was customary TO touch
relic, and this was regarded as giving the
oath more sacredness even than when
taken upon the Missal, or prayer book
When Harold swore allegiance 10 King
william Of Normandy. the Missll was
placed upon a chest which. when after
ward opeaed, was seen TO be filed with
bones Of the saints. II is a curious proof
Of the superstition Of the times, this idea
that an duration to the Almighty was
made more solemn by the presence Of a
knuekle- bone, a jaw, or double tooth,
OF dead man. Another custom of me-
dieyal times was swearing by churches.
A certain number were mentioned, and
the sttestor was obliged to 60 to each
one, tzking the ring Of the church door
in ais hand aud repeat his oath From
very early times the Russian custom has
been 70 kiss the cross to attest an oath.
and the practice has extended into other
countries. This was the oath of the
Knights Templar and other similar
bodies, and the laws of the Order Of the
Garter il Henry Wits time. required
the Knights 10 touch the book and kiss
the cross. A common attestation of the
oath in Germany in the middle ages and
later, was By the bosom, placing the hand
thereon This came from the practice Of
wearing a crucifix or amulet suspended
from the neck. Kissing the book, which
is still the common practice throughout
the British Empire, as well as in this
country, has not been permitted in Scot
land since the refOrmation.-Inter-

We have beside Us ever two Close friends.
Who walk on either hand thro' all our lives
One with gay laughter takes our eager hand,
And leads US through youths wondrous
Pleasure Land
which with a tale Of tabled glory vies;
Then guides Us to the shade Of sylvan grove,
Where love Is blushlng in the twilight sweet,
And all the afr Is filed with song Of birds
And heavy with the weight Of tender words
From lips that melt together as they speai
But with Us, In our journeying with Que,
The other walke,h with his head bowed low.
A guest unweleome is he, and unsought
ANA when, BY chance, we turn with merry
thought,
A glance from him falls on our hearts like
snow.
Yet silent walks hA On our shrinking
hearts
He lays no hand until his hour has come.
Then leads be even to the vale Of Death,
And in the shadows there, with shuddering
breath,
We recognize bis features and are dumb
Both friends All yes The name of one
is joy
Our heart strings CULVER with his notes so
gay.
but ere the wondrous symphony complete,
Pale Sorrows hand across the chords must
sweep
To tune in perfect time life's melody.

TOad-LOre.

Toads have much IN common with
frogs, put they are Matched from spawn
that is deposited in long strings, while
frog-spawn is in masses, and they have
no teeth. They are also marked by ugly
warts, which give out an acrid but not
poisonous juice They have tongues
whose motions, nearly as quick as light
ming, the eve cannot follow, and which
sweep in the insects they catch with
such speed that the victims ''seem to
melt into thin air" rather than to be
caught and swallowed They can climb
plastered and whitewashed walls or
nights of steps, and even into flower
pots whose outward sloping sides would
seem to forbid such an achievement
They will eat nothing that is not in
motion except their own skins, which,
when they are cast off, they roll up and
swallow The muscles of their thighs
and legs strikingly resemble those of
man. They can not breathe when their
mouth Is held open. The old necroman-
GERS used them freely and in various
ways in their magic. In some parts of
England the application OF toad is sup
posed TO stop bleeding, and dried speci-
mems are worn as charms against rheu
matism- The members of a Devonshire
family had reputation of curing "king's
evil by means of toads. Some of the
German peasants are said to have way
of crucifying toads, which must be
caught for the purpose Easter-Sunday
morning before sunrise; then burying
them in an ant-hill, and lea; ing them
there till Whitsunday, when their clean
and white bones. worn in little lag
around the neck, will always make the
possessor win in games of chance The
Thibetans, according to Able Hue, tell
of a toad that dwells amid the mists of
lofty mountain-range, and unless he
is populated, filings ice and avalanches
down upon those who pass in the valleys
below Chicago Tribune.
