lively part in it. As their interlocutor

intensely excited, climbing up the

Said te Rave Began on tho Little Island
of st. Honorat.

Goso " h"so DOSuh ch sh0 AAetA0 AbhAOu
of st. Honorat.
To the student Of ecclesiastical his
tory the little island of st. Honorat is
one of the most impressive spots in
Europe, says the Thinker. Almost in
visible on the map, it at one time oc-
cupied most conspicuous position in
the eyes of the world as one of its
great historical sights. AS center of
intellectual and moral influence it had,
as Montalembert truly says. a greater
effect upon the progress of humanity
than any famous isle of the Grecian
archipelago. 1t may well be called
the Iona OF the south. 1t is a remark
able circumstance that two little in
significant islands, one in the far
north, amid the dark louds and mists
of the wild Atlantic, and the other in
the far south, under the brilliant blue
sky, and laved by the bluer waters OF
the Mediterranean. should have formed
the centers which drew TO them, and
from whence were dispersed. all the
spiritual ana intellectual forces of Chris
tendon during its darkest ages.
Meeting one day one of those
wretched lepers, who were as common
in Europe in the early Christian CEN
turies as they are now in Asia, Hon
orat took him home to his own room
and began TO anoint his terrible sores.
Suddenly the dreadful mask of deform-
ity fell OFF, and the SCARED face burst
out into overpowering radiance; and
in the trans6gured leper he beheld with
inexpressible awe no other tn an the
Lord Jesus Himself.
When st. Honorat left his northern
home he was accompanied bv his
sister. who was deyotedly attached to
him. The strict rules OF monastic life
would not allow the presence of a
woman within the precincts The
gentle and beautiful girl, who at her
baptism as Christian received the
name Of Margaret. was consequently
sent to reside in the neighboring isle
OF Lero, where she was completely
separated from her brother BY her
entreaties she a. last prevailed upon
him TO promise 70 come and see her
once year. Let ne know" said she,
''at what time may look for your COM
ing. for that season will be to me the
only season of the year" The saint
replied that he would come when the
almond trees were in blossom. Where
upon the legend says the forsaken
Margaret asssiled all the saints with
her prayers and tears until she got her
wish, that the almond trees in her
island should miraculously blossom
once month. and sending each month
branch with the significant flowers
on il 10 her brothers retreat, he dutl-
fully came to her at once, and her
heart was thus made glad by the sight
Of her brother no less than twelve
/ times every Year.

Somebody in the Pail Mall Budget
has let his fancy take wings in the
contemplation of the time when all Of
the 65, 100000 people in these United
States viii be anything but humanity.
This romancers theme is ''The Man

from the accompanying picture, it will
take about that long to complete the
change. There is comfort in the
thought that there is some little time
ahead for good-looking fellows. Esss.s
In his introduction this writer SAYS:
accomplished literature is all very
well in its way, but much more fascin-
ating to the contemplativeman are the
books that have not been written.
These latter are no trouble to hold;
there are no pages TO turn over. One
can read them in bed on sleepless
nights without candle"

the wing. and is nodded and modified
for flying, SO man is a creature of

by physical strength. Naturally, then.
that which is animal in him must grad
ually disappear, as civilization, more
and more, becomes a fixed habit. He
doesn't need big muscles to get liv-

teeth and hair are soon lost; trains
and trolley ears render speed unneces-
sary; he doesn't have 10 hunt his wife.

THE LAST UNICORN. ].
Extinction of the White Hhinoceros,
Largest Of Qaadrupeds Save One.

A wondrous brute, which only within
the present century emerged from the
realm of myth into that of scientific
knowledge, has within the present year
passed into the realm of history. Re-
.ports from South Africa declare that
the last white rhinoceros has been
killed and that its skeleton, hide and
horn are now being shipped to England
to enrich . natural history museum.
Thus the largest of modern quadru-
peds, excepting the elephant, becomes
extinct, along with the beautiful
quagga, the dodo, the great aux and
other noteworthy members of the
animal kingdom which have vanished
from the world before the rapacity OF
man.
For ages the only known habitat OF
the unicorn was on a coat-of-arms and
he was discredited as a reality until an
actual one-horned rhinoceros was found
in India and Sumatra, when folk began
to revise their syllabus of repudiated

According to Hardware some author
tiles say that the price of nickel and
silver will eventually cross each other,
They argue that nickel is more useful,

and that as silver Is used more as
symbol of wealth its value in that di-
rection will gradually dcpreeiate- IN
such an event there is long road, be-
cause silver has in it the tradition of
ages. and the poorer classes of the
world would be actuated in its use as
the rich have been. and for long time
the downward course would be staid
