effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop

Actor, Toole and the Cabbx.

Anent Mr.. Toole's visit to New Zealand
one or two amusing stories have come to
hand. Just before leaving Napier he had
a difference of opinion with cabman as
TO fare. The matter arose from a mis-
understanding on both sides, but as
Toole was determined not TO pay the
amount, which he considered unjustly
demanded, and rs the cabman was
equally determined TO have it, sum
mons was the result. The evening pa
pers announced the fact, and stated that
Tooie would defend the case in person
in the resident magistrates court.
A large crowd assembled at the court
house in consequence, but Toole, having
seen the paragraph referring to the mat
ter, preferred paying the claim to being
made free show. The crowd rapidly
melted away when this was announced,
but the fact Of the payment did not ap-
pease the irate cabman, and when Toole
drove down TO the launch which was TO
take him on his way to Auckland, one
of the cabmen on the stand called out
for Three groans for Toole."
''Oh, make it four, do" cried Toole,
and four they made it.
1t was probably the first time the IA
nous comedian had ever been groaned,
and he was hugely tickled at the dem
onstration.-LondonT it-Bits.

The Blame for Dirty Streets.

| A walk in the principal streets and
| avenues from to o'clock in the morn
| ing viii convince the observer that,
whatever the shortcomings of the street
cleaning department, storekeepers and
housekeepers are primarily and incident
ally responsible for dirty streets by
allowing their employees to sweep into
the streets the dust of their houses or
stores, and the dirt and refuse found
upon the sidewalk.
If the walk is extended to the tenement
house districts at any hour of the day it
viii be noticed that it is quite the custom
to throw ashes and garbage into the
streets, and to allow these materials to
escape into the street or upon the side
walk from insufficient, improper or over
flowing receptacles. It will also be no
ticed that soon after street has been
cleaned it is again defiled by the refuse
and garbage from the neighboring build
ings, and that the carts which transport
street dirt, ashes and garbage, sand for
new buildings, earth from cellar e1cava-
tons and the dust and dirt from build

contents into the street as they proceed
to their destination.
A student of the problem Of street
cleaning has only to make the above OBJ
servations to learn the primary causs of
dirty streets in New York, and that
without a thorough reform in this par
ticular relief is well nigh hopeless. This
simple solution Of the problem is only
the application to the streets OF the IA
mihar rules which govern every well
regulated household Can house be
clean if the members of the family
throw waste paper and other refuse on
the floors, and ignore the waste basket
and the cuspidore; and how many times
a day must the floors Of the house be
swept If such practice Is tolerated.

Historic Bell.

One of the most remarkable historic
relics in Rhode Island is the bell on the
Butterfly factory near the village o!
Saylesville. Around this bell about four
inches from the crown is this superscrip-
ton, Peter Secest. Amsterdam, Ammo
1868. NJ. E. Fecit." 1t is thus set forth
that Peter Secest made this bell in Am
sterdam in the year 1858. The figures
carved on the bell, together with other
authenticated facts, lead TO the belief
that this bell was long used on a convent
in England, and was sequestrated dur
ing the Reformation.
1t is also part of its history that 1t
was used in the English navy on the ship
Guerrero, which was captured by the
United States ship Constitution Aug. 10,
1912. The bell was subsequently sold
by the United States authorities with q
lot of captured stofes, and thus came
through the hands Of the late Stephen
81. Smith to its present place in the But
terfy factory.-Pawtucket (R. - Trib-

"Well DONE" said Papave proudly,
"We are the richest in the land"

Outside the sun threw it's brightes
denly frightful fash of lightning dart
ed from the clear heavens and struck tn,
sheaf house. A terrible peal of thunde
filed the air. Instantly the little hous
was in flames. The corn cracked in thu
heat. Countless sparks from the dr.
stalks sprang into the air. Soon the
whole house was one glowing pillar O.
fire. 1t was fearful sight.
From the midst of the flames came tht
sound of shrieks and of prayers. Ths
prayers from the lips of the gentle Cy
ane; the shrieks-ah, these certainly
came from the naughty Papave. But t.
such fearful punishment might pride
well succumb.
The good reapers were not harmed by
| so much as the smuggling Of hair. In
swestruck silence and almost paralyzed
with fear they stood around the burning
| house. To extinguish the flames was
out of the question. Far or near nc
water could be obtained. To rescue the
two unfortunate victims was equally i'm
possible, for the whole structure was one
mass of flame
So the reapers stood motionless, with
toll hardened hands fast clasped, before
this column of FIRE. Gradually the flames
subsidized, burning lower and lower, dy-
ing away in dull red glow, until at last
little heap of ashes was all that re-
manned Of the house of sheaves, the Prin-
cess Papave and the maid Cyane.
Deeply impressed the men returned to
their work. Only the aged reaper, who
took himself to the palace, there to re-
late TO the king and queen the terrible
fate of the princess and her companion.
The broken hearted parents realized
too late that their own teaching had en-
couraged and fostered the prize and self
will which had led their daughter TO her
death.
The following summer, when the corn
stood golden in tie field, from out the
heap Of ashes left lying on the ground
sprung beautiful blue flower, the corn
flower, most modest Of all field bios
SONS, fitting type Of the gentle, inno-
cent Cyane. And near by bloomed the
klatchrose, field poppy, true repre-
sentative of the kings daughter, PapaEe,
in her red silk gown Yes, even the
raven black hair and the crown of the
princess one may see prpetuated IN the
flower, while the buds are infolded in a
green mantle.
And as the wind scattered the ashes
over all the field soon there grew every
where among the stalks Of corn the blue
corn flower and red fed poppy, the type
Of guilt and innocence, Of loving kind
ness and OF naughty pride. And 50 TO

kings daughter, and we are the richest

kings daughter, and we are the richest
in the land"
The harvesters, who priced their
sheaves as rich and blessed gift from
God, were amazed at this strange whim
of their princess. Still, no one dared to
say word in remonstrance. Only one
very old man, with thin, gray locks,
venturing a step nearer, said at last:
Your forgiveness, gracious princess,
/ but there will be no more rain today.
The storm has passed. See, in the north
east there, Gods bow of promise, and
over our heads the sun shines from a
clear sky Therefore, think there is
no need of a house of sheaves."
The princess became scarlet with
anger She tossed her head and said
mockingly: "You are indeed wonder
full weather prophet Your wisdom fills
me with admiration. But wait! in the
solitude of dungeon you shall soon IN
learn your prophesyings. Think you 1
shall stand here to be drenched by rain
like common peasant girl? l am Pa
pave, the kings daughter, and we are the
richest in the land"
Then spoke the timid Cyane: "Most
gracious princess, though Imprisonment
and death await me, must speak, One
must not thus trample under foot Gods
blessing. 4 floor Of sheaves, walls and
roof of sheaves were surely never
before heard of. 1t is a sin, a grievous
sin, thus TO use the ripe grain. The
stalks are brittle, the ears very dry, and
much must be destroyed and trodden

Miserable beggars!" cried Papave,

grains of corn? For what purpose are
your rakes and brooms? Rake together

and with silent prayers that God would

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE.

Coils Of the desert, Ye are they
We shun from childhood's earliest breath;
Our passing joys are but your prey;
Ye wait the hours from birth to death.
Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep,
Under warm trees where love was born.
I see your naughty shadows creep,
And wait to meet ye there, forlorn.
Altar on ancient sands We rest.
Carven in stone. where ancient thought
Wrapt We in terrors-shapes unblest,
Dreadful, by might Of ages wrought.
But not alone on Egypt's shore
Sleeps the great desert: everywhere
Where gladness lived and lives no more,
There is a desert of despair.
Strange messengers Your brows of gloon,
Haunt every creature born Of earth:
Ye follow to the darkened room:
Ye watch the awful hour Of birth.
We show the lovely wayside rose.
Whose antique grace Is born anew.
To eyes OF grief. Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue.
Gods of the desert! By your hand
Through the sad waters are we brought
Into high and peaceful land
To drink of fountains else unsought.
