parents 10 earn her own living at tender
age. She has had several affairs OF tho
heart with the youth of her own
calling. and in fact has not paid such
strict attention 70 the proprlsties as snc
would have done had her mother been sliyo
to watch over her. For her time OF life Juie
was trifle blase having exhausted most OF
the attractions within her reach. when she
met. one evening a year ago. handsome
young hOuse-painter named Eugene
Maliait. Eugene was the finest spocl-
men of his sex with whom Ju,e
had yet come in contact. With dark,
flashing eyes a wealth OF raven hair and much
innate courtesy, Eugene not only met all tns
requirements Of jules ideal. but exceeded
them. Eugene. with love-like blindness, re-
fused to zee any defects in his goddess. Beng
morally pure himself he was not disposed 70
suspect others especially in her whom he had
clothed, in his imagination. with all womanly
virtues.
Thus it happened that their courtship pro-
gressed swimmingly. and IN frequent holidays
the lovers spent together many happy excuF-
slons to the suburbs. Not from any COM
panions of jules was ii that Eugene first
heard that his fiancee's career had not been
altogether above suspicion. but 1t was ono
of his own friends. who had heard
her lightly spoken Of st ball. Fol-
lowing UP these insinuations Eugenes
friend heard enough TO warrant him laying
the matter before her prospective husband.
Poor Julie had done nothing yerv bad. but
had committed the fatal error OF not confess
ing all 10 the man she adored. He was slow
to suspect. but Eugene felt compelled to
listen when valued friend spoke. and he
followed up the clues which the latter placed
in his hands TO this end he labored siren
uously. and by the first of the present month
he convinced himself. much against his
wishes that Julie had been false to him.

The Planets Mid Spot.

For several centuries different cities in
the Orient have contested with each other
for the honor of being recognized as the
mid-spot of the planet. Quite recently
a London geographer issued an elaborate
work in which he tries to prove the Brit
ish metropolis to be the centre of the
landed hemispAeres. Jerusalem and
Delphi, notwithstanding the fact that
neither of them is situated on the eQua-
tor, have for ages been the two great ri
walls in this mid spot discussion. Will
lam Simson, of the London Society for
Exploring Palestine, tells us that Herr
Schick has sent home drawings of the
Jerusalem centre of the world. 1t exists,
of course, in the Greek Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, not in the Latin church.
The spot is identified less by physical
science than by prophecy. 1t is written
in the Psalms: ''God is my King of old,
working salvation in the midst of the
earth" This can only refer to the scenes
of the passion and of the holy sepulchre,
and the midst of the earth must, there
fore, be found where the holy sepulchre
is considered to be by the Greeks.
The belief that the centre is there, or
thereabouts, is ancient, for it occurs in a
work by st. Ephrem, quoted by John
Gregory in reference to Noah's prayer.
Here Sphrem say that Adam was buried
s'in the middle of the earth" Homer
calls Calypso's Island "the navel of the
world, the centre of all the SEAS
In Eschylus certain round stoue in
the temple of Delphi is the "navel" or
centre of the earth, and here does Ores
ties take refuge when pursued by the Eu-
menides. Pinder has anticipated Eschy-
lus here, and, after an era, Pausanius
Qike Herr Schick) had the pleasure of
seeing the only genuine central hub at
Delphi. ''It is made" he says, of white
stone, smooth and polished, and is the
middle point of the whole world. De-
los, as well as Delphi, claims to be one
of the sacred places perforated by
the earths axle, and probably other cit
les, in all ages, have looked upon their
sacred places as deserving of the same
distinction. There can be no closer
analogy, however, than that which ex
lists between the hall of stone in the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusa-
lem and the round white stone at Delphi.
