culver of tenderness in his voice that
she had never heard before.
II shall want to sit with you and
look out of the same hymn book in

we both sang in the choir? But now 1
should prefer that you sit in my fam

The wedding was not delayed, and
there was never a sweeter bride than
Diana, and SO everyone said, with the
exception, perhaps, of few epvious
young girls. a few scheming mothers
and a widow or two, but they did not
count in the general verdict that it
was most excellent match.

Her husband-he is Deacon Poindex-

Possibly it is because Japan is pet
of the American public that she is so
frequently spoken of as ''little Japan. !"
Among the nations of the earth Japan
is not specially little either in area or
population. The area of Japan, 147,655
square miles, is larger by $4,000 square
miles than that of the United Kingdom.
Furthermore, there are 4l,OOO,000 peo-
pie who are subject to the mikado,
against 3s, Ooo,O 900 in the United King
dom, taking latest census results in
both cases. lvpan's population is
larger than Italy's by fully 10000, coo,
while her area is 100000 miles
greater. No one speaks Of Italy as
''little Italy,-a lthough she is not as
populous as Japan. Japan has nearly
ten times the area and almost twenty
times the population of Denmark.
Japan is not 'Iittle" country save as
compared with such unwieldy masses
as the Chinese empire or such a giant
as the United States. That she is big
enough to hold her own and more she
has evinced in battls to the amazement

HELPFUL THOUGHTS.
Little Things that Women Would DO Well
to Observe.

Little Things that Women Would DO Well
to Observe.
A little forethought will enable any
woman to have visitors or not to have
them, just as she pleases. When she
pines for society and would fain see
her rooms thronged with callers, she
has only to wash her hair or perform
some such rite to bring them On the
other hand, when she wants solitude,
she has but to prepare her rooms and
herself as if for a great fete and no one
will darken her doors
Have you longed for beauty and read
the recipes for obtaining it with eager
interest, sorrowing much that you
could not put them into practice? Sor-
row no more. Comfort yourself with
the thought that if you tried those
rules it would require all your time,
and that no one would ever have a
chance to observe the result.
Don't be one of those superior per-
sons who never grumble at the weather.
You will make enemies if you are, for
the world does not care for those beings
who fiaunt their philosophic spirit and
who by their very cheerfulness and
good temper call attention to their SUI
periority.
If there is one man who regards you
as a mixture of goddess and angel and
wishes to marry You on that account,
refuse him. No one ever worships his
possessions, and the only way to retain
alteration is to remain unattainable.
Sometimes that fails. too
You have heard that the truest aid to
the weak is to make them cultivate and
increase whatstrength they have. Re-
solve to carry out this principle OF help
ing people by making them develop all
the self-reliance they have. You will
enjoy the glow of their philanthropy
and the ease of Incidence at the same
time. -Philadelphia Press.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

fuls of frozen air. Then he broke the
bubble in two, and the halves lay like
eggshells for several minutes before
melting.

The scintillation of stars, accord
ing to new theory suggested by S.
E. Christian, is largely due to the con-
slant passage between the earth and
the stars of small meteofic bodies,
which are now believed to be drifting
in space in the immense numbers neces-
sary to produce this effect.

The United States have now about
forty vessels engaged in whaling-the

five hundred ships. The demand for
whale oil has so greatly decreased that
the industry has dwindled away. 1t is

for whalebone, which is always greatly
in excess of the supply. e
T. The distance of Mercury from the
sun varies owing to the eccentricity of

sun he receives ten and half times
more light and heat than we do, but
when he removes to his greatest dis
lance the light and heat are reduced
by more than one-half. Even then,
however, the sun blazes in the skies of
Mercury with disk four and a half
times larger than that which he shows

Without egotism, we think that
the women in medicine as class are
superior to men as class; because it
Is the picked woman, the ambitious
woman, whose desires are above the
common level, who enters the profess
sion. 1t takes grit and gumption to
be a woman physician even to-day, for
the woman in the profession must
have double motive for success; she
must succeed for her own sake as well
as for the reputation of capability all
women desire. This may not seem
fair, but it is nevertheless true.-Wom.

AN ANCIENT SPORT.

The History of Fslconry Antedates the
Mnmmies Of Egypt.
In these days of various amusements
and pastimes one rarely thinks of that
most ancient sport of all, falconry.
The date and place of its introduction
Is shrouded in obscurity. but it ante,
dates the mnmmies in Egypt, was
known to have flourished in China
earlier than 600, B. c., and was intro
duced into Europe before the Christian
era. Its introduction into England
occurred before the ninth century, and
it was for eight hundred years the
leading sport Of Great Britain, France,
and many other countries. 1t is diff
cult to realize what an important fea-
ture of life this sport was, unless one
searches the ancient laws and finds
records of the heavy fines and impris-
onment imposed for destroying the
eggs of the falcon, hawks, or the more
ordinary birds of prey. The use of
these birds by people of different caste
was also regulated by law. The king
alone was allowed the use of the gyr
falcon, the earl the peregrine, the yeo-
man the goshawk, and the priest the
sparrowhawk.
Kings had hundreds of birds in train
ing. and the master of the hawks in
England as we'll as the corresponding
Office of grand falconer in France had
but three superiors in precedence at
court. and were men of almost unlim-
tied political power. Hundreds of va
rieties of birds were used, but to the
falcon belonged the place of honor. OF
the fifty species of true falcons the gyr-
falcon is the leading bird. Its home is
in Scandinavia, but the young often
euirrate to Holland and Germany. It's
color is dark blush ash, almostblack
on the head, shading lighter toward
the tail. Itnests in January and builds
its home on bare edges of rocks and
exposed tree tops, and is a hardy bird.
1t gained name for laziness, for it is
such a sure hunter that only when de-
sirous of food will IL search for game.
The legs are short and strong and 1t
uses its feet in killing prey, rarely
usinp it's beak until its victim is dead.
It is swift flyer, its speed being almost
two hundred miles an hour. In pursuit
of food it rises spirally to an enormous
height and hurls itself, arrow-lilKe,
upon its prey.
The description of falconry would be
so long and the terms SO technical that
glossary would be, needed for the
comprehension. The training was done
by handling with much use of the
voice. and the birds were kept con-
| stantly hooded until set free to pursue
the quarry. Jesses-small straps OF
leather-were kept around the falcons
legs and the bird was held upon the
wrist of its master. When fully trained
it was left entirely at liberty during
| the day and given enough food to salts
fy the hunger. The falcons Of the
| royal household were each taught the
pursuit of different kinds OF game; one
| for hares and rabbits, one for grouse
and cartridges and one for heron and
| water fowl. The most difficult prey
was the kite, and it was called ''roya
game" as only the swiftest and sures
ryrtalcon was successful in its defect

ADAMS FIRST WIFE.

plete Failure.


plete Failure.
Whether Lilith was one of the female
creations of Chapter l., or demon. OF
something between the two, she was
considered natrimonially, a complete
failure. She was expelled after living
with Adam for one hundred and thirty
years, and subsequently became the
wife of Satan, by whom she was the
mother of the Jinns, so familiar in Per-
sian fairy lore. ,s-
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve: This is now bone OF
my bones and flesh of my flesh, makes,
it is suggested, comparison between
Eve and the beautiful but fiend-like
Lilith not complimentary to the latter,
while the reference, on the birth of
Seth, to him as Adams son lin his own
likeness, after his image" conveys a
painful hint of the uncanny offspring
born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this, Lilith-
the name occurs translated might
monster in Isaiah xxxiv.-became the
sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strangle with one of her
glorious golden hairs, unless the watch
fulness of THEN. mothers drove her
away. 1t has, indeed, been gravely
suggested by an etymologist greatly
daring that orr word lullaby is simply
a corruption of Lila abb" Lilith,
