Stones 1liat Will Travel.

Many have doubtless heard of the famous travelling stones of Australia. Similar curiositics have recently been found in Nevada. which are described as almost perfectly round. the majority of them as large as a walnut and of an irony nature. When distributed about upon the floor. table or other level sur face within two ca three feet of each other, they immediately begin travel. ing toward common center, and there lie huddling up in a bunch like a lot Of eggs in nest. They are found in a re-
 zion that is comparatively level, and is nothing but bare rock. Scattered over this barren region are little basins from a few feet to rod or two in diamct ter, and it is in the bottom of those that the rolling stones arc found. They are from the size of a pea to six or seven inches in diameter. The cause of these stones rolling together is, doubtless, to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be load stone or magnetic iron orc.-Science.

 My people," said MT. Carson, when the singing was done, and VIC had kissed each other before them all-''My people, Macumazahn and the Star, my daugh- ter, are now man and wife, to live in one kraal, to cat at ono bowl, to share one fortune till they reach tho grave. Hear now, my people, you know this woman, :" and turning he pointed to Hendrika, who, unseen by us, had been led out of the prison hut.
 "Yes, yes, VIC know her," said little ring of head men, who formed the primi- tive court Of justice, and after the fash ion of natives had squattca themselves in circle on the ground ia front of us "Wc kuow her; she Is the white babyan- woman; she is Hendrika, the body-serv- ant of tho Star.'

 Accordingly lndaba-zimbi came for ward, and squatting down told his mov- ing tale with much descriptive force and many gestures, finishing up by produc- ing the great knife from which his watchfulness had saved me. 1 Then was called upon, and in few brief words substantiated his story; in deed, my face did thatin the sight of al men
 Then MT. Carson turned to Hendrika who stood in sullen silence, her eyes fixed upon the ground, and asked her | she had any thing to say.
 She looked up boldly and answered.:
 "Macumazahn has robbed mo of the love of my mistress. I would have robbed him of his life, which is ; little thing compared to that which have lost at his hands. I have failed and am sorry for it. for had I killed him and left no trace tho Star woulc have forgotten him and shone on me again.

the women and children carrying green branches of trees, ferns and flowers. At length, about half-past nine, Stella rose, pressed my hand, and left me to my re- factions. At few minutes to ten she reappeared again with her father, dressed in a white vail, wreath of orange flowers in her dark, curling hair, a bouquet of orange flowers in her hand. To me she seemed like dream of love- liness. With her came little Toto in high state of glee and exci cement She was Stella's only bridesmaid. Then we all passed out towards the church hut. The bare space in front of it was filled with hundreds of natives, who set up song as we came. But we went on into the hut, which was crowded with such of the natives as usually worshiped there. Here Mir. Carson, as usual, read the service, though he was obliged to sit down in order to do so. When it was done-and to mo it seemed interminab1e MT. Carson whispered to me that he meant to marry lis outside tho hut in sight of all the people, so we went out and took our stand under tho shade of large tree that grew near the hut facing the bare space where the natives were gathered.
 Mir. Carson held up his nand to enjoin silence. Then, speaking in the native dialect, he told them that he was about to make us man and wife, after the Christian fashion and in the sight Of all men. Thi; done, he proceeded to read the marriage service over us, and very solemnly aud beautifully he d.d it. We said the words, l placed the rin:s-it was her fathers signct ring, for we had no

 Then MT. Carson spoke. Allan and Stella" he said, 'I believe that the car- emony which has been performed makes you man and wife in the sight of God and man, for all that is necessary to make marriage binding is that it should be celebrated according to the custom of the country whero the parties to it reside. It is according to the GUS tom that has been in force hero for fifteen years or more that you have been married in tho faco of all the people, and in token of it you will both sign tho registry that I have kept of such mar riages among those of my people who have adopted the Christian faith. Still, in case there should be any legal flaw again demand the solemn promise of you DOln LnaI Oli tlS u.5G Oppoltuii1Uy you will cause this marriage to be re- celebrated in some civilized land Do you promise?''
 I've do,' we answered..
 Then the book was brought out and we signed our names. At first my wife signed hers Stella only, but her father bade her write it Stella Carson for the first and last time in her life. Then several of the indunas, or head men, in- cluding old Indaba-zimbi, put their marks in witness.

 I heard very cultivated lady once remark that she wo:;l,i Tath.: see her son an eminent blacksmith than an un3cc- ccssful lawyer. We can never succeed in any vocation for which we have no positive liking. It often requires soy eral years to teach a girl a few airs on the piano, and it is difficult to di4tir- Tui1h her landscapes from dI&th-hHd scenes. No matter how shoWy an ac- ccmplishmcnt may be. nor how honora- bic or rcmuncrat.vc a certain calling is considered, never put your children to learn iJ unless they cvincC q decided talent. After years of unintcrcSting toll and defeat, you will see them turn to their God-given work. ApropOS of this subject, l saw not long ago little boy who cvinccd the most decided talent for drawing from nature. He could take crayon pencil and slips Of paper and mako picture of any of your acQuaintanccs, and you would read lily recognize it. The same day l saw him at table get his spoon fastened in the handle of his cup. i watched him intently. He tugged away manfully try ing to eXtricate the spoon by pushing the bowl part through. It seemed never to occur to him to let the handle pass through. That boy would never succeed in any business requiring mechanical genius. No use to try to make watch maker or maciiini5t of him.
 There has been in the past too little concentration in the education of girls. They have studied too many things and perfected nothing. While the course of study should not be limited, they should pay particular attention to that art or science or branch of industry where their tastes and talcn s stand as a sign board to point the way. Success will depend almost entirely on the degree of perfection attained and the degree of earnestness which is carried into tie Work-\VOman.

sOu!" gasped Indaba-zimbi. "Let us tie the devil up before she comes to life again."
 I thought this good counsel. so we took a rein that lay in the corner of the room and lashed her hands and feet in such fashion that even she could scarcely escape. Then VIC carried her into the passage, and Indaba-zimbi sat over her, the knife in his hand, for I did mot wish to raise an alarm at that hour Of tho night.
 Do ycu know how I caught her, MacurI azahn?" he said. ''For several nights I have slept hero with one eye open, for I thought she had made a plan. Tonight I kept wide awake, though pretended to be asleep. An hour after you got into the blankets the moon rose, and l saw beam of light como into the hut through the hole in the roof. Presently I saw tho beam of light vanish. At first thought that a cloud was passing over the moon, but l listened and heard a noise as though some one was squeezing himself through a narrow place. Presently he was through and hanging by his hands. Then the light came in again, and In the middle of it 1 saw the babyan-frau u swinging from the roof, and about to drop into the hut. She chung by both hands, and in her mouth was great knife. She dropped, and I ran forward to seize her as she dropped, and gripped her round the middle. But she heard mo come, and, seizing tho knife, struck at mo in the dark and missed mo. Then We struggled, and you know the rest. You were very nearly dead tonight, Macumazahn."
 "Vcry nearly, indeed" 1 answered, still panting, and arranging tho rags oi my night dress round mo as best I might. Then the memory of my horrid dream flashed ir yo my mind.

A Genuine Love story.
Cbrlstian Repository

~hhAnh"n noPoeasokJ
This story was originally told by
Sturgeon:
A young clergeman and his bride
invited guests at a large party given
by a wealthy parishioner. In all the
freshness and elegance of the bridal
wardrobe, the young wife shone
among the@throng, distinguished by
her'comeliness and vivaeity and rich
attire. and when. during the evening,
her young husband drew her aside
and whispered to her that she, was
the most beautiful women In all the
company, and that his heart was
bursting with pride and love for her,
she thought herself the happiest wife
in the world.
Ten years later the same husband
and wife were guests at the same
house, where there gathered q simi
lar gay company. The wife of ten
years ago wore the same dress she
had worn on the previous occasion,
and, of course, it had been altered
and remade, and was old-f shioned
and almost shabby. Toll and care
and motherhood had taken the roses
out of her cheeks and the 1.-the spring
out Of her form. She sat apart from
the crowd carewornl and preoccupied.
Her small hands, roughened with
coarse toll, were ungloved, for the
minister's salary was painfully small
A little APART the ten year husband
stood ard looked at his wife, and as
he observed her faded dress and
weary attitude q great sense of all
her loving fa.thfulness came over his
heart. Looking up. she caught his
earnest gaze, and noticed that his
eyes were2flIed- with tears. She rose
and went TO-, him; her questioning
eyes mutely asked for an explanation
Of his emotion; and when he tender
ly took her hand, laid it on his arm,
led her away from the crowd and
told her how he had been thinking
Of her as she looked ten years before,
when she was bride, and how much
more precious she was to him now,
and how much more beautiful. for all
her shabby dress and roughened
hands. and how he appreciated all
her sacrifices and patient toll for him
and their children, q great wave OF
happiness filed her heart, and light
shone in her face so that il gave
more than youthful beauty, and in
all the company there was not SO
happy q couple as this husband and
wife, their hearts and faces sglow
from the filming up Of pure senti
ment that transfgursd and ennobled
and glori6ed all the tolls and priva.
tions they hsd endured.

Mountain lions, or cougars, have
been unusually numerous and sudss
cious in California this spring. They
have killed fifteen colts for John I.
Cuddy on Frazer Fountain and have
been seen prowling about on the out
skirts Of the smaller towns, rsiding
sheep pens and chicken roosts and
picking up stray ours. The chalk
bills back Of Santa Paula always
have afforded safe retreats for these
beasts, being very rough and broken
and full Of small caves. Irving
Foulks was up there two weeks ago,
and came back without any cougar
pelts. But he brought back stories
about the number Of mountain
lions prowling through the chalk
hills that made old hunters wag their
heads and insinuate that he was get.

Foulks and the old man went up
there the other day, and for once in
his life Jake saw "varmints" enough
to satisfy him. They got into the
ruggedest part Of the hills and sat
down to watch for game. Presently
a lioness appeared less than Q hun.
