ONE of the charges brought against his wife by man in Beaver, Pa., in a suit for divorce, was her rude and un- ladylike way of serving him with fried eggs. On a Sunday morning, while she was preparing breakfast and he was getting ready for church, they had some verbal disagreement, and she empha- sized her remarks, by throwing dish of fried eggs at him. This treatment made him hopping mad, and his comments upon her conduct so angered her that she avowed her determination to here after let him have them raw in the shell. Rather than take his chances with grocery store eggs the husband appealed to the law for release.

The Rose.

At all times the rose has enjoyed pc
culiar favor as a sacred flower. Moham-
medan tradition says that when Saladin
captured Jerusalem he refused to enter
the shrine of the temple which had been
converted into church by the Crusaders
till the walls had been thoroughly
cleansed and purified with rosewater. A
similar story is told of the Church of st.
Sophia, at Constantinople, when trans
formed from a Christian place of wor-
ship to Mohammedan mosque. The
origin of the rose, according to Moslem
tradition, is that the blood of the prophet
sprang into new life in this glorious
crimson flower. To this day, when a
Turk sees rose lying on the ground, he
will raise it tenderly, kiss it reverently
and deposit the frail blossom in some
place of safety.
The followers of Zoroaster have the
DRY that prior to the existence of sin in
the world the rose was a thornless flow
er. In the east it is a tradition to this
day that the burning bush in which the
angel of the Lord appeared to Moses
was a rosebush, while in the Roman
Catholic church the rose still retains no
little element of the sacred character
which it would appear to have enjoyed
in all religions York News.

FACTS DIAMONDS.
According to an Authority No Two of the

According to an Authority No Two of the
Gems Are Exactly Alike.
The diamond, besides being the queen of
gems, is positively the most beautiful thing
that nature has ever conceived. When 1t
reveals it's hidden projections it is the only
ssthing of beauty THAR els a joy forever"
as it is practically indestructible. Time
will dim the lu ster and wear away the fiber
of gold but the diamond will go on spark
ling for all time For aught we know the
diamond that sparkles on the white fingers
of the belle of to-day may have scintillated
as the eye Of some Hindoo god thousands OF
years ago. Most people imagine that dia-
monds have classification like other com
modities, worth so much per karat, accord
ing to perfection, brilliancy and purity, run
ming through say dozen grades, but there
is no greater mistake. Strange as it may
seem to the uninitiated. no two diamonds
are exactly alike, but each has virtue and
value peculiarly its own. 1t is just as rare
to see two individuals alike in face form
and feature as it is to see two diamonds.
The idea, also, that a dealer in diamonds
can tell by looking at a gem its exact value,
lis all nonsense. A diamond has to be
studied. While the aid of glass will help
to discover the slightest flaw or Imperfect
ton, it does not bring out its true value by
a long way Men who handle money con-
stantly can detect light coin by simply
handling and examining casually, but a dia-
mond has got to be studied from all points
before safe estimate can be put upon it's
value. Shape, size, perfection of cutting
and such matters cut an important figure
in diamonds value.-St. Louis Globe-Dem

VALUE OF PATIENCE.
A Quality Necessary to Success in Impor-
tant Matters.

A Quality Necessary to success IN ImpOr-
tant Matters.
It is the humility of patience which exer-
cises all mere obstinacy, and transforms
silent endurance from process of ex-
'haustion-a mere waste of strength-into
power that feeds us with new life and
impresses on us new character. Where is
there great national career that has not
been built upon the qualities which are es-
sential to patiencea Perhaps the French
have evinced less capacity for patience
than any other equally great people; but
consider the marvellous root of patience in
the Norman, the Breton, the Alsatian ele-
ments of the French characters; and if
Paris has represented a central impotence,
has not Paris ruined almost as often as
she has delighted France? In all the
other great nations of the world, the raw
materials of patience are the most notable
characteristics of the national character.
For example, among the Jews, the Ro-
mans, the English, the Germans, the
Slavs, we say the raw material of patience,
for the higher kind of patience is far too
lofty as well as lowly virtue to be widely
diffused through any people. Even among
the Jews, whose character in it's more
ideal form appears to have been specially
intended to illustrate this great virtue
the raw materials of it far oftener degen-
Grated into mere doggedness than rose into
that transcendant spiritual quality by
which men win their souls.-London Spec.

A sHooTING-sTAR's TALE.
1t EXPLAINS Why 1t Reaches the Earth in
a Heated Condition.

If YOU rub button on board it will be-
come warm If you rub two pieces of wood
together YOU can warm them, and you could
even produce fire if you possessed the cum
ming skill of some people whom you are &C.
customed to speak of as savages. Nor need
YOU be surprised to find that was warmed
by merely rubbing against air. If you visit
a rifle range and pick up a fragment of
bullet which has just struck the target you
will find it warm; you will even find it so
hot that YOU will generally drop it. Now,
whence comes this heat? The bullet was
certainly cold ere the trigger was pulled.
No doubt there is some heat developed by
the combustion Of the gunpowder, but the
bullet can not be much warmed thereby; it
is, indeed, protected from the immediate eff
feet of the heat of the powder by the wad.
The bullet is partly warmed by the friction
of rubbing against the barrel OF the rifle,
but doubtless it also receives some heat by
the friction of the air and some from
the consequence of its percussion against
the target. You need not, then, wonder
how it is that whensI am checked by your
atmosphere, too, am heated. Remember
that move hundred times as swiftly as
your rifle bullet, and that the heat developed
n the checking of the motion of the body
increases enormously when the velocity of
the BODY increases. Your mathematicians
can calculate how much. They tell you that
the heat produced will, as they say, vary as
the square of the velocity. To give aseAllus
tration of what this means, suppose that two
rifles were fired at a target and that the
sizes of the bullets and the ranges were
the same, but that the charge in one of the
rifles was such that its bullet had twice
the initial velocity of the other. Then the
mathematician will say that the heat de-
veloped during the fight of the rapid bullet
might be not alone twice. but even four
times as great as that developed in the
slower bullet. If we would fire two bullets,
one of which had three times the speed of
the other then, under similar circumstances,
the heat generated ere the two bullets were
brought to rest would be nine times greater
for the more rapidly-hying bullet than for
the other one Now, YOU can readily COM
prehend the immense quantity Of heat that
will have been produced ere friction could
deprive me of speed of twenty miles
