One Journey Sufffced to Turn a Thing OF

a thing of beauty, and in consequence
considered myself a JOY forever. My

supported and sustained by a lusty
strap of leather. AS 1 reposed at the
rear of the carriage which bore me
away l could not but pride myself
upon my beauty and perfect health.
But my tranquility received a rude
shock when, upon arriving at the rail

the demolition Of the leather on the end
which received the blow, | sustained no
detriment from this downfall. l was
then seized by one of the railroad en-
ployes and dragged across the depot,
relinquishing two ofmy casters in trans

chucked onto a truck for conveyance to
the car. If l remember Alright, l drop

and my additional Commissions

two men and away l few through the

broken, my remaining hinge shattered
and, the tongue of the buckle to the
strap which encircled me giving way,
my lid came off and my contents were
exposed to the vulgar gaze and run

Il is a fact of rather curious inter
est that Queen Victoria's oriental at
tendant, the Portly and turbaned Hin
doc munshi who teaches her majesty
Hindostanee, attracted far more atten-
ton when the royal party arrived in
Florence than did the queen of Great
Britain and Ireland and empress Of
India herself. When the enthusiastic
Florentine crowd saw the gorgeous
Indian sitting IN state in the royal car
riage, they saluted him by throwing up
their hats and uttering cries of well
come.

JUSTICE PREVAILED.
The sCadi Who Was Bound Somebod,
 Should Ic Punished.

The sCadI Who Was Bound Somebody
 Should Bc Punished.
 There was once robber in Cairo who fell from the second story of house he was trying to enter and broke his leg, says Harper's Young People. There upon, he went to the cadi and com plained. The mans window was badly made, and he wanted justice. The cadi said that was reasonable, and he sum- moned the owner of the house. The owner confessed that the house was poorly built, but claimed that the car penter was to blame and not he.
 This struck the cadi as sound logic, and he sent for the carpenter. "The charge is, alas! too true, said the car penter; 'but the masonry was at fault, and couldn't fit good window" So the cadi, impressed with the reason ableness of the argument, sent for the mason.
 The mason pleaded guilty, but ex- plaincd that a pretty girl in blue gown had passed the building while he was at work, and that his attention had been diverted from his work. The cadi there upon demanded that the girl be brought before him.
 Ut is true" she said, "that I am pret- ty, but it's no fault of mine. If my gown attracted the mason, the dyer should be punished and not l." Quite true," said the cadi; ''send for the dyer"
 The dyer was brought to the bar, and, hoping to help his business, he pleaded guilty. That settled it. The cadi told his robber to take the guilty wretch to his house and hang him from the door sill, and the populace rejoiced that jus tice had been done. But pretty soon the crowd returned to the cadi's house complaining that the dyer was too long to be hanged from his doorsill. ''Oh, well" said the cadi, who by that time was suffering with cnnui; ''go find short dyer and hang him. Justice shall preyail!'

4 Strange Story.

Round the neck of the holy virgin of AlmGdena, the patron saint of Madrid, for whom a fine new church is being built close to the royal palace, a very beautiful diamond ring hangs on thin gold chain. The ring belonged to the late King Alphonso XII,. and a strange history is connected with it, which may well appeal to the minds of the super stitious Spaniards. On the day of his wedding to Mercedes, the daughter of of the duke of Montpensier, the king gave the ring to his bride, who wore it till her early death. After the funeral the king gave the ring to his grand mother, Queen Christine, who died soon after. Infanta Maria del Pillar, the sis ter of the king, then became it's pos sessOr. She had worn it only a few days when she died. Then the ring became the property of the king once more, and he gave it to the sister of his late consort, Princess Christina, the youngest daughter of the duke of Mont pensier. Three months later the young girl was dead. The king had now be- come aware of the unfortunate coinci- dences, and instead of giving it away again he himself wore the ring until he also went to his early grave.

POPE LEO's MODE OF LIFE.
Although Eighty-TwO Years old, His
 Health Bellies All Rumors.

Health Bellies All Rumors.
 The pope was eighty-two years of age on March 2. Leo XIII. has now occu- pied the chair of St. Peter for fourteen years, and although there have been many rumors of the unsatisfactory state of his health lately there seems to be no good reason why he should not occupy it for good many years longer, says the Pail Mall Budget. His holiness mode of life is of the simplest. He usually rises at o'clock in the morning, offers the sacrifice of the mass and then be gins his working day.
 For breakfast he has single glass of coffee, tea or milk, and after going through his papers begins to receive about nine. From that hour till one in the afternoon the throng of visitors never slacl1cns. He then returns to his papers and his books until three, when he dimes.
 The dinner of his holiness is of the same frugal character as his breakfast "a little soup, two courses of meat with vegetables, and dessert of fruit, with one glass of wine. After dinner he goes out for drive or walk in the gardens of the vatican. He afterward resumes his papers. Between nine and ten o'clock all the papal household as- semble for the rosary and then retire to rest.
 Although the pope wears spectacles when reading his eyesight continues very good. When he was a young man he was very shortsighted, but as he grew older his sight became better, and at seventy it was better than when he was twenty years of age. A bon mot of his holiness at last Christ mas reception may not have been for gotten. It was addressed to Cardinal Parrocchi, who is believed in many quarters to be heir-presumptive to the chair of St. Peter. When the cardinal had wished him happy new year the pope said, with a twinkle in his eye: ''Thank you, thank you, your eminence; I hope to be still here on the eve of next year to receive once more your sincere congratulations'

Youthful Prodigies.

English newspapers are talking of a little girl of ten who has rewritten the books of Euclid, supplied new examples and proved all her propositions. Youth full prodigies are commonly supposed to be a peculiar product of the forcing process of American civilization, but when they do appear in England they compel admiration from their precocity. John Stuart Mill struggled with Greek verse at nine, and Cardinal Newman at five was deep in Ovid, while the younger Pitt went up to the university at six teen with a store of learning that amazed his tutors.

WHY SNOW IS WHITE.
All the Elementary Colors Are Blended
 Together in the Crystals.

All the Elementary Colors Are Blended
 Together in the Crystals.
 The pure white luster of snow is due to the fact that ali the elementary colors of1light are blended together in the radiance that is thrown off from the surface of the crystals. It is quite possible to examine the individual snow crystals in such way as to detect these several colors before they are mingled together to constitute the com pound impression of whiteness upon the eye. The snow is then clothed with all the varied hues of the rainbow. The soft whiteness of the snow is also in some degree referable to the large quantity of air which is entangled amid the frozen particles.
 3 Snow is composed of great number ot minute crystals, explains London Tt-Bits. More than a thousand dis tinct forms of snow crystals have been enumerated by various observers. One hundred and ffty-one were noticed during eight days in February and March, 1855, by MT. Glashier, which were carefully drawn, engraved and printed in paper attached to the re- port of the British Meteorological so- ciety for that year.
 r. These minute crystals and prisms re- fleet all the compound rays of which white light consists. Sheets of snow on the ground are known to reflect beautiful pink and blue tints under cer- tain angles of sunshine, and to fling back so much light as to be painful to the eyes by day, and to guide the trav- eler, in the absence of moonshine, by night.

QUEER FISH.
Beds Covering Hundreds of Square Miles
 Found in Colorado.

Beds Covering Hundreds of Square Miles
 Found in Colorado.
 Superintendent W. c. Hart, of the northern division of the Color a.: o world's s fair mineral department, recently re- turned from Q trip in the northwestern part of the state. During his absence, says the Rocky Mountain News, MT. Hart made investigations leading to one of the most remarkable geological dis coveries ever known in the west. Vast fish beds, covering hundreds of square miles in northwestern Colorado, are brought to light and cannot fail to awaken great interest in scientific circles. The beds, so far as traced by NIT. Hart, extend distance of one hum dred and fifty miles in the region of the Green river country and when traced to points more than one hundred miles toward the interior of the state. Scien- lists have known Of the existence of primeval deposits Of fish in Wyoming, but for the first time a discovery of a similar character is reported in this state. The beds are one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet thick. To the ordinary observer their origin would remain forever mystery.
 How untold millions of fish could be piled in distinct layers over large area of country which $ now five thousand to ten thousand feet above sea level is a problem which might stagger the most profound geologist. After careful in- vestigation NIr. Hart has arrived at a theory which at least appears plausible. According to his theory, there was a time when the region of the fish de posits formed the shore of salt water ocean. As the tides swept the waters against the rocky shores, marshes were formed on the opposite side of the rocky barrier. The tides surged against the barrier with such force as to throw the fish into the shallow waters. Owing to the heated temperature of the air, the water in the marshes evaporated before the tide again returned, leaving the fish to expire in the mud.
 The next flow brought a new supply of fish, and after many centuries the beds of to-day were formed. The deposit of each return of the tide is distinctly marked in the cliffs and on the sides of the canyons of the mountain streams. The deposit was raised to it's present elevation by the same hidden forces which forme the mountains.
