A lady whose home is In the south of
France writes of visit she made re-
Gently to an island on the coast of Brit
tany. Those of you who have read the
story of King Arthur and his knights
will remember that they started out
over the sea in pursuit of the dragon.
In this-the Morbihan seals little
island which can be reached from the
mainland only when the water is
smooth. The sole inhabitant Is Bre-
ton shepherd, who lives in little hut
and spends his time in car,ag for his
sheep. The party landed and were met
by the kind-faced old man, who led
them over the grassy slope where his
flock was feeding, and showed them
the way around bill, on the east side
of which they found the entrance to a
tunnel.
This extended some distance, and its
floor, sides and roof We're made of i'm
mense fat pieces of stone, covered with
hieroglyphs and figures, looking
somewhat like wreaths and again like
coiled serpents." At the end of this
unnel was a hall, also floored, rooted
and walled with the same curious
stones, and in the center was an altar
and a stone upon which, it is thought,
that human sacrifices have been offered.
The strangest part of all is that no
stones nor rocks like those used in this
tunnel can be found on the island, and
at no place nearer than a hundred
miles inland. Who brought themP
How did they come? There is no record
left-at least none has been found, to
tell who these people were, or any
thing about them.
They must have lived many centuries
ago, but have vanished entirely, yet
their work is as perfect apparently as
when first built. (!
1t is thought that they may have
been Druids, who came here when they
left Great Britain; others, again, think
that they were worshippers of the SER
pent god called Hoa. But it is con-
lecture. All we know is that the
stones are here, strangely carved, skill
fully put together, but of their build
ers their is no trace.

ness tnere was surplus OF ABOUT 20
per cent. to distribute to the stockhold-
ers out of the so per cent. of the wages
that have been retained by the man

alent to a reduction of 25 per cent. in
wages for the time that the mill was in
operation. In other words, in order to
get out even the company could only
afford to pay IS per cent. of the wage
scale. Doubtless the hard times was
the cause of this i'll success.

Underneath the green leaves folded,
In dense shadow hid from sight,
Rosebud ventured not to open
Chalice TO the morning light
Modestly in deep retirement
Grew in beauty and in charm;
Dreaming not how wide the world ia,
Shielded, guarded close from harm.

Ardent sun god. beams IN thee;
And from thy green throne ascending
Open wide, thy heart We see.
Glowing with maturer beauty
In thy rapture, lovler grown.

Blessing all, u rose full blown.
Now thou knowest bliss ot living,
Chalice ope, no more to close,
Happy twas to be n rosebud,

THE IVA YSIDE PUMP.

''Shake hands ~ says the wayside pump
Best OF friends on Il summer day,
And sweetest talker you ever knew,
Although, no doubt, it's true
He speaks through his nose in careless way
That would make precsian jump!
''Shake handsr How his arm of oak
stretches out as you draw a-nigh
a ii he asks is an easy stroke,
To pour you out, as smooth as smoke,
sweeter nectar than you could buy.
y, What; do you doubt it!-onl " try,
Take that cup from the rusty nail,
Hold it under the gurgling spout.
Well, how goes it, this Adams ale?-
Pump away; you can't pump him out!
Hearts like his weren't made to fall.
Three full cups? All! you need not tell
Whether you like him i'll or well.
So he stands by the dusty way
GODS own landlOrd-and seems to say;
Drink your fill; there is naught to pay!'
Thirsty horses, with noStrils wide,
Plunge their heads in his messy trough,
Drink, and crop from the cool well-side
A bunch of grass and then ambe off.
And now the deep-chested oxen come,
And drain the trough at Il single draught.
There great eyes glsten, though they arr
And thank the pump for the nectar quaffed.
The smoking team meath the load of hay
lovingly turn their eyes that way
They too shall drink, for the axle swings,
And the outstretched noses kiss the cool,
Sweet stream from the spout that springs
Like mountain brook in a messy pool.
The farmers dog with his lolling tongue
Laps and pants, till he laps his fill.
Then the creaking wheels from the rut are
swung,
And the fragrant load sways up the hill.
Dear old waysde friend,
Doing good in thy time and place,
Full of cheer as good mans face,
Overlooking with simple grace
OF giving whate'er thou hast to spend,
Would that were as true a man
As thou art pump, on thy humber plan
Out of my hands kind deeds would GO;
Out of my heart sweet love would flow;
Round me all nourshed life would grow;
And ev'ry pilgrim with thirst opprest,
Would stop to bless me and to be blest.

MATTER OUT OF PLACE.

The fierce animOsity some ardent
housekeepers exhibit toward dust
seems amusingly exaggerated to quiet
err souls. To the true dust-hater no
family trouble or family joy is para
mount. With her mouth she may
mourn Williams sorrow or eXult over
Edith's prosperity.
Her eyes are rowing They spy the
bit of fluff upon the carpet, and she
checks her sobs to pick it up. The
recital of Edith's happiness is inter-
rupted while she walks across the
floor to wipe off a tables edge or to
lament the difficulty of keeping a room
clean when the windows are SO often
opened.
Births, deaths, or marriages may
come and go in her household. Not
one of these disturbs her equanimity
half so much as having her sweeping
day postponed they are all of less i'm
portance than the discovery that her
dreaded enemy has gained a foothold
in some unsupported corner.
An enthusiast of this sort one even

husband to accompany her to an up

pressed by her solemn manner, and
heavily climbed the necessary stairs.

And the lady triumphantly led the
procession down stairs.
