Tho World a Cocoanut She'll.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is CO.
coanut shell of enormous dimensions,
at the top of which ista single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where "human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to a point
which represents the beginning of all
things. This point is spirit or demon
without human form, whose name is
Root of All Existence" BY him the
entire fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoannt shell, at
its very bottom, lives female demon.
So narrow is the space into which she
is crowded that she is obhged7to sit for
ever with knees and chin touching.
Her name is The Very Beginning, {"
and from her are sprung numerous
spirits. They inhabit five different
floors, into which the great oocoanut is
divided. From certain of these spirits
mankind is descended. The islanders,
regarding themselves as the only real
men and women were formerly accus-
toned to regard strangers as evil spir-
its in the guise of humanity, whom they
killed when they could, offering them
as sacri6ces.-Washin Star.

Several hours passed before there W as
any abatement in the storm, and tn en-
when Dick did not make his appearan &c,
her an xiety about the safety of herself
and baby gave way to dread concern
ing his fate. While the wind shrieAxed
and the snow fell in binding sheets,
she comforted herself that he was snug
ly housed in the village beyond, but
when he did not come in a reasonable
length of time after the storm had sub
sided she became greatly alarmed, and
over and over again wandered down, the
drifted lane calling wildly for hun to
come back. At last, almost in des pair,
she made her way to the cabin ,5of her
nearest neighbor, who, with. quick
western sympathy, went at once to
rouse some Of the villagers to aid in the
search. He found out that Dick had
started for home some time be-
fore the blizzard struck the town,
hence must have been lost latter
he entered the long lane lead
ing to his own house. 1t was not
long until many lights were tgIimmer-
ing in sight of the cabin, among the
snow-drifts in the narrow lane, and
half-an-hour later, almost in range
with the light Ruby had placed in
the window, one of the mem stumbled
over dark object which proved to be
Dicks half-frozen body. He was not
dead, but it took hours of patient rub
bling and bathing to coax back the
heart-throbs that at first seemed to
have stopped forever. During those
hours of terrible suspense, E.uby had
plenty of time to review the stormy
scene of the afternoon, and in deep re-
morse to weep over the estrstngement
which her hasty words had caused.
Over and over'on Bonded knees she be-
sought the dear Lord to give back the
precious life trem bling in the balance,
and when, at last, the doctor said he
would live, she accepted TIE gift with
VOW that in the future the doors of
her lips should be kept with all dill
gence.
1t was weeks before Dick was able
to go about his daily work again, but
these days of pain and waiting were
not lost, for out of them grew an I'M
derstanding between the young couple,
which enabledgthem TO keep their lives
from drifting apart by faithfully OBJ
serving the little home courtesies
which have so much to do with keep
ing the fire of love burning brightly in
the bosoms of those who day after day
gather around the same hearthstone.

on. In place of my shy maiden was a
tall stately lady clad in a satin dress Of
fashionable cut and impressive train,
and in place of the flowing + es was
long and flowing veil of Sint lace;
and looked in vain for the shy, sweet,
modest glances. For the bride was very
self-possessed and calm and plain; yes,
almost ugly. And there wasn't the
slightest trace of agitation to be de-
tected about the groom as he answered
the questions put to him, in a clear,
even tone. And my villagers were all
crowded out; in their places sat city
danes, clad In soft and beautiful colors;
there were, indeed, few country folks
at the back of the church, but they
didn't look well with the others; the
colors they wore seemed SO coarse and
inharmonious beside their fair city sis
ters. And | sighed and thought, after
all, it is only a fashionable wedding.

appointing conclusion, | Immediately

Both Sides.

A lady school-teacher in Boston, who
is rather proud of her profession than
the reverse, is not pleased at having her
occupation thrust forward when she
meets strangers. Not long ago, at a
reception, the hostess regularly men
toned her occupation in introducing
her.
At length the hostess presented 9
young man, adding to the introduction,
as usual: 'Miss Faneuil is one of our
school-teachers."
The gentleman bowed. but Miss Fan
euil said:
81 beg your pardon, Mrs. Allen, but I
did not catch what the geatleman's
business is"
What his business is?" repeated the
hostess in perplexity.
Eyes" Miss Faneuil said. 81 thought
It only right that this acquaintance
should start fair, and as you told him
my employment, it seemed only fair that
/ should know his"
The point was understood, and taken
poodnaturedly. but the teacher was no
longer introduced in her professional
capacity.-Youth's Companion.

Who knows we have not lived before
In forms that felt delight and paini
If death is not the open door
Through which we pass to life sga1hl
The fruitful seed beneath the sod
In infant bud and bloom may rise;
But by the eternal laws Of God
1t is not quickened till it dies
The leaves that trembled on the tree,
Fail meath the stroke of autumn storms;
But By some mighty mystery,
With spring return in other forms
As currents Of the surging SEA,
From undiscovered sources now,
30 what we were and yet may be
In this brief life we may not know.
But oft some unexpected CLEANS
Of past and aforementioned years
Break through the doorway Of our dreams,
And some familiar face appears.
gentle spirit lost awhile,
Amid the change from death to BIRTH
Whose beaming eye and loving smile
Recall some former scenes Of earth
And thus unconscious Of the tie
The mystic link which love creates
Perhaps we see our own who die
In newer forms and other States
Perhaps with every cycle passed
In all the ages yet to be,
Our loved will come to US at last
As parted waters find the sea.
Not wholly clad as they were seen
When death unbound their robes OF clayi
But with seraphic face and mein,
And souls that cannot pass away.

Such question to ask on the very
eve of my bridal day, " laughed Ruby. 81
sincerely hope you do not think me that
tickle, my dear conscientious aunt"
II never thought you tickle, Ruby;
but the question with me is, do you love
this man you are going to wed well
enough to give up all the comforts and
pleasures of your fathers house for his
sake? In my eyes it is no small sacri-
fee to forsake the companionship of
tried friends and go off hundreds of
miles to m AXE home for stranger in
the wilderness" replied Aunt Rachel,
in a Respondent voice.
But, Aunt Rachel, you must remem-
Der that Dick Walton is no stranger to
me. We have known each other all
our lives" Ruby returned, brightly.
when you are acquainted with him
you will not wonder that count it no
sacrifice to give up so much for his
sake. He is the best man in the
world"
alt is right that you should think so,
at least" laughed her aunt. but, Ru-
by, it viii require 4 great deal of love
10 make up for all the comforts and
conveniences of your pleasant home.
You have not been accustomed to the
hardships of frontier life, and it will
require more courage than you antici-
pate to begin housekeeping as your
grandmother did more than half a CEN
tuTy ago"
ANY place where Dick lives viii be
home to me" insisted Ruby, little pet
ulantly.
"What will you do with all these fine
things in a little two-roomed cahin?'
questioned Aunt Rachel, with a wave
OF the hand in the direction of the table
loaded with handsome wedding pres
ents.
Pack them away in the closet until
we are able to build a house suitable
for their display" was Ruby's quick
response. The truth is, aunt, people
make great mistake in giving such
presents. Why don't they show good
common sense in selecting suitable
gifts for a western bride?"
People do many foolish things On
connection with weddings" admitted
