The Everlasting "Why."

There is an ocean Of the unfathomable
in every raindrop, and God says today as
he said in the time Of Job, eff you can
not understand one drop of rain, do not
be surprised if my dealings with you are
inexplicable. Why does that aged man,
decrepit, beggared, vicious, sick of the
world and the world sick Of him, live
on, while here is a man in midlife, con-
secrated to God, hardworking, useful in
every respect, who dies? Why does that
old gossip, gadding along the street
about everybody's business but her own,
have such good health, while the Chris
tan mother with a flock of little ones
about her whom she is preparing for USE
fulness and for heaven-the mother who
you think could not be spared an hour
from that household-why'd does she lie
down and die with cancer? Why does
that man, selfish to the core, so on
adding fortune to fortune, consuming
everything on himself, continue to pros
per, while that man who has been giving
10 per cent of all his income to God and
the church goes into bankruptcy? Be-
fore we make stark fools of ourselves let
us stop pressing this everlasting :swhy."

The First Sight Of Gibraltar.

The first sight Of Gibraltar Is, 1 think.
disappo pointing. It means SO much, and
SO many lives have been given for it and
so many great ships sunk by its batter
les, and such great powers have warred
for 200 years for its few miles of stone,
that its black outline against the sky,
with nothing to measure it with but the
fading stars, is dwarfed and spoiled. It
is only after the sun begins to turn the
lights out, and you are able to compare
it with the great ships at it's base, and
you see the battlements and the mouths
OF cannon and the clouds resting on its
top, that you understand it. And then
when the outline of the crouching lion
that has faced all Europe for a hundred
years comes into relief you remember it
is, as they say, the lock to the Mediter-
ranean, Of which England holds the key.
And even while you feel this and are
greedily following the course of each
rampant and terrace with eyes that are
tired Of blank stretches of water some
one points to a low line Of mountains
lying like blue clouds before the red sky
Of the sunrise, dim, forbidding and mys-
terious and you know that it is Africa.

Spontini's Decorations.

Casparo spontini regarded himself in
the light Of a de1nigod, and when in
SEPARATIONS crowded upon him he donned
a wide, togalike gown Of white silk with
a border Of gold and fez of white silk
embroidered in gold, from which a heavy
tassel hung down. With great dignity
he sat down before his desk, and if q
grain Of dust was visible on the paper on
which he penned his music he rang the
bell impatiently for his servant to re-
move the obstacle. Spontini owned so
many medals and decorations that they
could no longer be accommodated on his
breast. At q grand musical reunion at
Halle an old musician remarked to a
comrade, "See how many decorations
Spontini has, while Mozart has not one.
Spontini, who overheard it, replied
quickly, "Mozart, my dear friend, does
not need them. st. Louis Post-Dis.

"LuckY PiuS'' the Fad.

''Lucky pins" are the favorite little
gifts of the hour, and several special pat
terms are used to signify good fortune to
the wearer. The mysterious virtue of
the horseshoe has long been recognized,
and of late years the mistletoe sprig has
been considered equally fortuitous, while,
added to the merry thought, it acquires
new virtues. This, with the 'Campa-

lie Of an ancient gold bell found during
the present excavations near Rome and
presented to the queen Of Italy, are the
popular mascots of the day. The sides
Of the latter bear the inscription, 'sToi

Natures Protection For Unripe Fruit


For protection from the animal world
immature fruits have developed num-
Der of interesting devices. Almost uni
versally "green" fruits so harmonize
with surrounding color as to escape de-
lection. In fact, the hazel nut is envel-
oped in a leafy coat which renders it in
conspicuous. The nutritious albunen
of the seed is often fortified by such i'm
penetrable shells as those of the cocoa
nut and others. Perhaps there is a for
midable armament Of prickles, as in the
chestnut, or singing hairs, as is the case
with some pods.
Characteristic Of immature fruits are
dlsagreeable taste and >consistence.
Compare an unripe peach, sour and
stringy, with the same fruit in its lus-
cious maturity. But all these contriv-
anoes fail to repel certain enemies of
growing fruits. The apples inconspic-
uousness, toughness and sourness are Of
little avail against the young progeny Of
the genus homo.-J. w. Folsom in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Spollr and the Kings.

All are not kingly who wear crown.
At court concert the Duchess Of Gotha
expressed in the curtest style her disap-
prevail of the loud playing of Spohr, the
great violinist and composer. While he
was playing she sent a chamberlain to
request him not to make SO much noise.
The king Of Wurtemberg was in the
habit of amusing himself at court con-
cert by playing cards. Spohr, being in
vited to play before the king, informed
the chamberlain that he must decline
the honor unless the king abstained from
card playing. The chamberlain was hor-
rifed, but the violinist insisted, and the
king conceded the point. But in order
that the royal time might not be wholly
occupied in listening, he stipulated that
the two pieces set down in the pro-
gramme for Spohr should follow each
other.
Nevertheless his majesty showed that
the vioEnist's demand had ruf1ed the
royal temper. Etiquette prescribed that
the king should give the signal for APP
plauding. At the conclusion Of each
piece the king gave no signal and SOL
emn silence reigned in the salon. The
king had his small revenge.
The king Of Bavaria WAS q gentleman.
At court concert he noticed that the
usher had neglected to place scat for
Nine. Spohr, an excellent harpist, who
was to accompany her husband The
king placed his throne chair on the plat
form and with the mild insistence Of a
gentleman compelled the lady to sit in it.

demonstrations or = Coon.

That coon Of Rueger's, which has
been sauntering around the lamppost
on the corner Of Ninth and Banks streets
from time to time during the past three
months, made things lively Sunday after
noon at Mr.. B. "A. Fox's bird store on
Broad street.
Mr.. Rneger got tired Of the quadruped
and wished to dispose Of him. The coon
was accordingly turned over to Mr.. Fox,
who was TO sell him. He was kept at
the bird store. Sunday afternoon, when
everybody was away, there began gem
eral havoc on the part Of the animal.
Climbing over 9 partition in a show win
dow, he proceeded to chew up five Abys-
sinian rabbits. Only one Of the petswas
left to tell the tale. His coonship then
dined upon handsome Brahma cock in
the rear of the estab hshment and after
ward proceeded to deprive beautiful
tropical song bird Of his plumage.
He next made an attack on number
of goldfish, and when his appetite was
satisfied there wasn't a single representa-
tive of the piscatorial tribe left in the
aquarium. Several other depredations
were committed, and his coonship was
making preparations to exterminate ev-
cry valuable bird in the establishment
when two festive coppers crawled over
the transom and put an end to his calcula-
hons. He was carried back to Rueger's,
but soon effected his escape and made it
lively for the squirrels in the Capitol
square. A small regiment of small boys
were in pursuit of the animal, which
with an all important air mounted the
Washington monument and soon sat
complacently on the top of Georges head,
eying his pursuers with an expression Of
mingled defiance and curiosity. He was
finally captured Richmond Times.
