Truly Resigned.

There was once a certain old lady
whose son, late in life, married against
her wishes. The wife was everything
that could be desired, and yet the old
lady had not intended her middle aged
"boy" to marry at all. and loud were her
complaints thereat. Finally the minister
called to essay consolation and remind
her that it was hardly best to make the
neighbors the confidants of her woes

pleK,ns. ,n Paris.

Diognes. looking in the street with
lantern for an honest man, had a sort of
imitator in a wealthy citizen of Paris
who died recently. Having fortune of
Sl00, 900, and no heirs, this man resolved
to bequeath his money to some person
who had proved to be perfectly honest
without any motive of policy. He had
retired from business, and spent his time
in riding up and down Paris omnibuses.
He always stationed himself near the
front part of the interior of the omni-
bus, where he would have an opportun-
ity TO pass up to the driver the fares of
passengers, and hand back the change.
frequently. when the change was of a
character to admit it, he quietly slipped
into it, after the driver had put it into
his hand, a so centime piece-the equiv
alent of about a dime, and awaited the
result.
A Partisan newspaper asserts that the
old man rode up and down the streets
for eight years, during all of which time
not single passenger upon whom he
had bestowed the coin saw fit TO restore
it to the driver, from whom it was to be
supposed it had come.
But at last, one day when the elderly
cynic had slipped his usual small silver
piece into the change for a five franc
piece, and passed it to young working
girl who had entered the omnibus, he
was delighted to hear her say in clear
voice to the driver: But, driver, you've
given me 80 centimes too muchl"
The old man said nothing, but made
inquiries about the young lady and hav-
ing ascertained her name, family, and
circumstances, he made a will. entirely
unknown to her, bequeathing her all his
property.
Lately he died, and the young woman
came into possession of her benefactor's
fortune of 100000 "a large return,
surely, for restitution of 10 cents.
The story is told as true one, but If It
is really true, honesty is virtue much
more rare in Paris than it is in this
country.

Earthquakes.

Several shocks of earthquake which
have recently been felt in various quar-
ters of the globe at about the time of the
new moon recall the interesting theory
that the earth is more frequently shaken
near the periods of new and full moon
than at other times Lists of earth
quakes covering many years have been
prepared, which seem to favor this
theory.
The reason assigned is similar TO that
by which we are able to account for the
greater height of the tides at new aud
full moon.
When the moon and the sun are on the
same side of the earth, as is the case at
new moon, they unite the force of their
attractions in heapiug up the waters of
the sea. The same thing happens when
they are on opposite side of the earth, as
at full moon, for then each, by attract
ing in an opposite direction, assists the
other in pulling out the ocean, so to
speak, as one might pull out the sides of
a rubber ball.
According to the theory in question,
the same forces of the sun aud moon
which raise the tides put strain upon
the crust of the earth which, by causing
the strata of the rocks to slip and slide a
little, produces earthquakes.
When the moon is 1t it's quarters its
pull is at right angles to that of the sun
and then, as is well known, the tides are
lowest. Then, too, it is argued, the
strain upon the crust of the earth is
east.
If this theory is true, how wonder
fully sensitive the apparently solid globe
must be to the impulses conveyed to it
by the attaction of bodies hundreds of
thousands and millions of miles dis

Right Have Changed American History.
When Zebulon NJ. Pike was in Mexico
in 1907 he met at Santa Fe carpenter,
Pursley by name. from Bardstown, KY,
who was working at his trade there be-
cause he could not well get away. lie
had in 1902, while out on the plains hunt
ing, met with series of misfortunes and
found himself, in 1904 or 1908, with
hunting party near the mountains. Tho
hostile Sioux of the plains drove them
into the high ground in the rearof Pixies
Peak. Near the headwaters of La Platte
River Pursley found some gold. He car
ried little of it in his shot pouch for
months He was finally sent by his COM
panions to Santa Fe to see If they could
trade with the Spaniards. and chose to
remain at Santa Fe in preference to re-
turning to the hunting party. He told the
Spaniards about the gold he had found,
and they tried very hard to persuade him
TO go and show them the place. They
even offered to take along strong force
Of cavalry. But Pursley refused, and his
patriotic reason was that he thought tho
land was on United States territory. He
told Lieutenant Pike that he feared they
would not allow him to leave Santa Fe,
as they still hoped to learn from him
where the gold was to be found. These
facts were published by Lieutenant Pike
soon after his return, but no one took the
hint, or the risk was too great, and thus
more than half a century passed before
those same rich fields of gold were found
and opened to the world. IfPursley had
been somewhat less patriotic, and had
guided the Spaniards to the treasures,
the whole history and condition Of the
western part of our continent might have
been entirely different from what it now
IS. That region would doubtless have
been part of MEXICO; or Spain might
have been in possession of it, owning
California, and, with the gold that would
have been poured into her Golfers. have
been the leading nation in European
affairs to-day. We can easily see how
American and European history in the
10Th century might have been changed if

been true lover of his native country -
