WHERE FLESH TURNS TO STONE.
Peculiar and MarveIou. Property of Rapid
 City soil.


 City soil
 The character of the soil in and around Rapid City, $. D., has a peculiar and marvellous property, a wonderful characteristic which completely coutro- verts the Biblical injunction: Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return" For the last fifty years, says tho S.. Louis Republic, the Bad Lands, " lying seventy-five miles to the southeast of the little city above mentioned. has been the wonderland of America, it be- ing locality unequaied in the world as a receptacle for pctrefactions of ami mals of both the land and water kind. But the wonders of the Bad Lands are equaled in one respect at least by the mineral saturated soil at Rapid City.
 True, petrefaetions of remote geolo0- icai ages are not found in such pro fusion at Rapid City as they are farther south, but, what is equally as wonder full, human bodies which have reposed but short time in the soil of those South Dakotan hills are transformed into statues of stone as hard as the hardest marble.
 But few of these last resting places have been disturbed, and those only when friends thought it absolutely nee eSsary; however, in each case the same peculiarity was exhibited.

Put Some Salt In 1t.

Mother, what makes you put salt
in everything you cook? Everything
you make you put in little salt"
So spoke observing little Annie, as
she stood looking on.
" Well, Annie, III make you little
loaf of bread without any salt, and see
if you can find it out"
Oh, mother, it doesn't taste bit
NICE" she said, after she had tasted
the bread.
Why not2" asked her mother.
You didn't put any salt in it,
" Mother" said Annie a day or two
afterward, Jane Wells is the worst
girl l ever saw; she slaps her little
brother Johnny, and pulls his hair, and
acts really hateful. When told her it
was naughty to do so, and if she would
be kind to her brother he would be
kind to her, she only spoke roughly to
me and hit him again. Why won't she
take my advice?"
Perhaps you didn't put any salt in
it. Season your words with kindness,
my child. Ask help of God in all you
say and do, and your words spoken in
the spirit of Christ will not fall to the
ground. "-Enchange.

Our &ops ann Girls.
The Runaway Boy.

Richard Malcolm Johnston, popu-
lar Southern writer, recently read some
of his stories at Indianapolis, after
being introduced to an audience by
James Whitcomb Riley as follows:
"There was once boy, an aggrieved,
unappreciated boy, who grew to dislike
his own home very much, and found
his parents not at all up to the
son and disciplinarian. He brooded
over the matter, and one morning be-
fore breakfast climbed over the back
fence and ran away. He thought of
the surprise and remOrse of his parents
when they discovered that he had in
deed gone, and he pictured with rain
bow colors the place he would make for
himself in the world. He would show
his parents that he would not brook
their i'll tire 'tment and that he could get
along better without them. Some way
this feeling of exhilaration died out as
the long hot day wore on. There came
a time when other boys went home to
dinner. He raided a neighboring or
chard. The afternoon seemed endless.
A ksotted, rigid sort of an aching spot
came into his throat that Sc med to
hurt worse when he didn't notice it
than when he did. 1t was very Gu
rious, self-assertive sort of pain.
1t was nearly dark when the strug-
gle was given up and the boy slowly
walked along the dusty road toward
home. When he reached the wood
pile he gathered up load of wood
and carried it in with him. The hired
girl was washing the supper dishes, but
she did not seem glad to see him, in
fact, did not seem to have noticed that
he had been away. He sauntered care
lessly into the pantry, but the cup
board was locked He went out in the
backyard and washed his feet at the
rain-barrel. Everything seemed pleas
anter than it ever had before. The
6re-fiies fitting among the grape-vines,
the reflection of the stars in the rain
barrel, were soothing to the tired boy.
Then he walked straight into the old
sitting-room His father didn't look
up from his paper; his mother was so
busy sewing she didn't notice his en-
trance.
- He sat meekly down on the edge of
chair. Why didn't somebody say
something? He was ready to be
scoded or punished, anything rather
than this terrible silence. If the clock
would only strike, it would be relief.
He heard the boys shouting far down
the street, but had no desire to join
them-no, never again in the world.
He just wanted to stay in of nights,
right there at home always. He
coughed and moved to attract attention,
but no one heard him nor looked up.
He couldn't remember any prior silence
that at all approached it in point o.
prolundity of depth and density of
hush. He felt that he himself must
break it. Assuming an air of careless
naturalness and old-time ease, he airily
remarked
"' see you've got the same old cat.
''That boy" Mr. Riley said, q" was
Richard Malcolm Johnston, in whose
heart still abides love for the simple
homes and firesides of the humblest of
his fellows. "-The Presbyterian.
