at it admiringly BY and by she went

that gentleman, sharpening a pencil as
he spoke.

The Birth of the OnaI.

There is beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate stone which
you have no doubt seen in rings and
bracelets The story is that the opal
was long ago promised to anybody who
could discover it. 1t lay hidden away,
so the old fortune tellcrs used to say, at
the place ''where the sunlight and the
moonlight joined each other, and who
ever could find that spot would be re-
warded by quantity of large. beautiful
opals. After long search for the place
where the sunlight and moonlight
joined" each other, the place was found
by a Spanish traveller, who followed ND
the rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone upon
the earth, and there he found the oDals.
They are said to be very lucky stones
for those who are born in the fall of the
year and very unlucl,y for those born in
the spring. Of course it is only q say
ing that these are lucky or unlucky, but
the rest of the story is true, as you will
believe if you look in the heart of an
opal and see the pink tints of the sun
and the blue rays of the moon nesting in
the middle of it.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The renowned DR.. Heylin in his Life
of King Charles relates the following
extraordinary story of the artistic ability
of an old time knight of the pen: 'In
the time of the reign of Queen Elizabeth
one Roger wrote the Ten Command
ments, the Creed, the Patcr Noster, the
queens name and the year of our Lord
within n space that could be covered
with penny. He gave her majesty a
pair of spectacles of his own artificial
making, that by the help thereof she did
plainly and distinctly discern every let

Trees In Japan Sacred to the Gods.

Near every temple in Japan are GER
tain trees which are supposed to be pc
culiarly loved by the gods and to be sa-
cred to them. Any one injuring or caus-
ing to be injured one of them will bring
down the wrath of the "kami' or god
whose particular property it is. If the
trees be injured in the name of any one,
the kami avenges himself on that person
instead. So when Il girl finds that a
SWANS love has cooled, and she thinks
revenge would be sweet, she makes a
straw manikin and calls it by his name.
If she is very vengeful, she may also
make one of her hated rival. At
O'clock Mt night Called the hour of the
bulD she rises, and clad in white night
dress only, with high clogs on her feet,
her hair hanging loose and crowned
with an iron tripod, ON which three
lighted candles are stuck, she proceeds
to the shrine of the patron god of the
family.-San Francisco Chronicle.

SELF SACRIFICE.
Without n Justifablo Motive 1t Becomes y
Sentimental vagary.

Withoue u uustinaDlo MOTIVE 1t Becomes
Sentimental vagary.
Young Lanyan. the midshipman, who
went down with Admiral Tryon on the
Victoria, was sentimental lad. "You
had better jump" cried the admiral to
the boy.
"Fd rather stay with you," was the
midshipman's reply.
The boys loyalty to the admiral was
pathetic, but it was barren display of
affection. The admiral was right. The
lad ought to have jumped and made u
resolute effort to save his life. The adj
miral had wciSRty reasons for preferring
to stay at his post. The midshipman's
life was flung away from sheer excess of
sentiment.
Equally wasteful and unjustifable was
the zeal of New Jersey workman, who
listened to ladys frantic appeal for the
rescue of her dog, which was founder
ing i'll pond. She fancied that her pet
was in extreme danger. The workman
plunged into the water and swan out to
the dog. There lie was suddenly attacked
with cramp and was drowned before tho
lady's eyes. The dog swan ashore and
barked from the bank mt the rescucr,
whose intentions had been misunder-
stood. 1t was more than foolish for a
man to risk his life for Il hysterical lady's
pet dog.
Another workman in Brooklyn played
better part A cry of Horse run
away" was raised while he was chatting
with friend. A frightened horse was
tearing up the street with wagon be-
nd lint LII L.
his track was baby carriage with
sleeping child. The nurse, who had been
wheeling the carriage across the street,
had been frightened by the outcries of
bystanders, and deserving her charge
had fed TO the sidewalk
The workman did not hesitate. Spring
ing forward, he caught tile animal by
the bride ami stopped the horse barely
in time to save the child's life. The
horse, revolving against capture. reared
and made plunge for liberty The bri-
die broke III the Workmans hands, and
he fell under the horses feet. In mo-
ment he was trampled TO death
This workman had a wife and children
dependent upon him. He undertook
most hazardous feat in attempting to
stop the horse by the bride ends i'll front
of the baby carriage. But although he
lost his life and brought calamity upon
his household he exhibited singular I'M
selfishness and fortitude. The sight of
the sleeping child exposed to horrible
death set his warm heart beating, and
generously and impulsively he did the
only thing that could have been done for
the child's rescue.
That was better than useless sacrifice
of life for puppy. 1t was nobler than
voluntary suicide with the admiral, who
feared court marshals probable brand
of murderer more than he feared death.
Unless self sacrifice have adequate mo-
tive and justification for the risks, it be-
comes sentimental vagary involving
senseless waste of life.-Youth's Com
panion.

A College Joke.

AS good an example as can he given Of
the jokes played on new students is the
ancient ''Pempc' of Winchester college.
On the first appearance of a boy in the
school il companion will ask him with a
kindly air if he has book called "Pempe
Moron Proteron" Greek for "Scnd the
fool farther'), without which it will be
impossible to properly get through his
work. OF course me will say NO" and
then he will be sent on wild goose
chase from one boy to another in the
hopes of obtaining copy. Tie game is
kept up with great spirit until the older
boys are tired of the fun, and then the
green lad is referred to one Of the mas
tiers, who, instead of giving him vol
ume, as he expects ends his trouble by
explaining to him the joke of "Pempe."

of one of these lovely mountains is n
