mother-of- pearl; and among the precious
stones might be shown the diamond, pearl,
ruby, sapphire emerald. garnet, amethyst,
turquois, onyx, cameo, moonstone, topaz,
beryl, opal and ohryso-beryl. Any old
legend or superstition connected with a
precious stone would prove interesting, and
it would not be amiss to mention the owners
and history of some Of the, noted jewels Of
the same kind.
The guest who chooses TO represent the
diamond could relate how the first diamond
of modern times was accidentally found by
a traveller, who saw the children OF a farmer,
at whose houRe he was stopping over night,
playing with IL on the floor among num-
Der of ordinary pebbles, and the diamond
craze TO which this discovery led could be
described. Or, the less familiar story could
be told of the theft of the diamond necklace
during the reign Of Marie Antoinette. which

Reversible Snakes IN India.

A snake not often heard of, at least in
America, is the liver-co lored snake with
two heads, or perhaps they should be
called mouths, though it does not have
two mouths at the same time. They are
reversible mouths, occupying the opposite
end every six months. II lies with the
two ends crossed In each other, as with
folded hands. Every six mouths the
change of the seasons reverses the fune-
tions of the two ends, the head becoming
the tail and the tail becoming the head,
The mouth at one end heals or closes up
all but small opening, while the oppo.
site end becomes the mouth for the next
six months.
A friend of mine in India who told
me about this remarkable snake said ho

That noble deed is step toward God,
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under feet
By what we have mastered OF greed ano
gain,
By the pride disposed and the passion
slain,
And the vanquished ills that we hourly
meet.
We hope, we aspire. we resolve, we trust,
When the morning calls us to life ant

But our hearts grow weary, and ere the
night
Our lives are trailing the sordid dust.
We ehope, we aspire, we resolve, we pray,
And we think that we mount the air OF
wings,
Beyond the recall of sensual things,
While our feet still cling to the heavy clay
Wings for the angels, but feet for the men
We may borrow the wings to find the
way;
We may hope and aspire and resolve and
pray,
But our feet must rise or we fall again.
Only in dreams is ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire
walls
But the dream departs and the visior
falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone
Heaven is not reached single bound,
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaultet

Rubber Tires For Carriages.

The success of rubber tires on bicycles
has frequently led to attempts to increase
the comfort of buggy and carriage rid
ing by fixing tires on to wheels, but
in the majority OF instances the attempt
was not a success, as the tire either came
oil or wore out in vely shor. space OF
time. Since, however, pneumatic tires
have displaced the solid ones ON bicycles,
the attempt is being renewed, and bug
gies aud other vehicles are likely to be
seen ON the boulevards in large mum
bers before long as noiseless and free
from vibration as bicycles, Carriage
builders believe there Is al immense
amount ot money To be made out Of
vehicles with rubber tires on the wheels.

savage sleeper made no further sign.
At last the work was done. The ten
minutes had seemed year. The lad stag
gered to the boat, staggering as if with
an ague. "I must speak," he painted, |,
oor I shall yell. I thought twice I'd
have to whoop or 60 into a faint. But,

"Walll You've got the guns, shore,
said Scraggs, ''and drat my skin Of the
biggest bully in Jessup's camp would a
done it."
No time had been lost while Scragg'
was relieving his mind; the dugout was
skimming out into the stream with lively
paddle strokes. The plan was boldly
executed in the morning. With the
coming of light the Seminoles discov-
cred the robbery of their weapons aud
rushed to the edge of the swamp with
frantic yells, brandishing their toma'
hawks. But the marauders were far be-
yond the throw of axe or knife, aud sat
with levelled rifles.
Then came shrill voice, demanding
in Spanish the instant surrender OF the
little Seminole band, for at that time
nearly everyone in Florida knew some
thing of this language. After consider
able parley the red men agreed to throw
their knives and tomahawks into the
marsh. They were taken aboard in pairs
and their right wrists tightly fastened
| together with stout strips of Scrsgg'
homespun shirt. The dugout towed the
canoes up stream, while the young officer
sat in the stern and guarded the captives
with loaded pistols.
So the daredevil returned to camp the
same afternoon, and instead of rowing
he was covered with praise and honor by
General Jessup and his little army.
