ABORIGINAL JAMAICAN IDOLS.

ancient Spanish writer,. that the a~borigines
of the West Indies, at the time of their dis
covery by Columbus, We're i'll the habit of
worshipping idols, which they termed semes
or CENTS. These were made of various forms
and composed of almost every kind of mate
rial, but principally of wood and stone.
Although many are known and figured from

THE TAPESTRY WEAVER ).


Let Us take to our hearts lesson. no lesson
can drawer be.
From The ways of The tapestry weavers on the
other side of the sea.
Above their head, the pattern hangs, they
study it with care
The while their fingers deftly move, their
eyes are fastened there.
They tell us curious things, besides. Of the
patient plodding weaver:
He works on the wrong side evermore, but
works for the ight side ever.
tits only when the weaving stops, and the
web is Ioosened and turned,
That lie sees bis real handiwork, that his
marvellous skill is learned.
All, the right side Of its delicate beauty, how
it pays him for all its cost
No rarcr, daintier work than his was ever
done by the frost.
Then the master bringeth him golden hire,
and gIveth him praise as well,
And how happy he heart of the wsaver is
no tongue but his own can tell.
The years of man are the looms Of God, let
down from The place of ohe sun,
Wherein we are weaving ever, till the mys-
tic web is done.
Weaving bindly, but weaving surely, each
for himself his fate
We may not see how the right side looks, we
eau only weave and wait.
But looking above for the pattern, no weaver
hath need to fear,
Onlt let him look clear into Heaven. the Per-
feet Pattern is there.
If he keeps the face Of the Saviour forever
and always in sight,
His toll shall be sweeter than honey, his wea-
wing is sure TO be right.
And when the work is ended, and the web
is turned and shown,
He shall hear The voice of the Master, it shall
say, ''Well-done =
And the w~hite-winged angels of Heaven to
to bear HIM hence shall come down;
And God shall give him gold for hire. not
coin, but a golden crown!

Fashion in Oalling-Oards,

The Roman or block letter Is be-
coming more popular as the style
Of engraving for visiting-cards
plates of two-sheet quality is
eminently proper. Cards for both
men and women are considerably
smaller, and the script engraving
is finer in consequence, following
more closely the English style than
the Partisan which is large and
with flourishes. The block or Ro-
man letter plate is very English,
and with those affecting London
styles it finds great favor. The
price more than doubles that OF
script engraving. Ladies use the
block style now on their cards for
teas and receptions, and 1t admits
Of the necessary engraving Of days
within a smaller space than the
script, and enables smaller card
being used.-May Ladies' Home

A Remarkable Bit.

A bit has been invented which
absolutely controls the most vi.
cious horse, and which promises to
revolutionize the whole existing
system Of horse driving. Strictly
speaking, the device is not a bit
for it does not go into the horses
mouth at all, but a simple nose
peice that goes over the horses
upper lip. 1t does not touch the
lip unless the driver has gentle
pull on it, but when it is needed
slightest pressure has a magic
effect.
The contrivance consists of a
plain head strap, properly braced
and coming down between the
horses eyes and nostrls, and ter
minating in little metallic upper
lip. This piece of metal is about
two inches long and not half an
inch wide. Its curving side ends,
like an ordinary bit, are so devised
that very gentle pull on the reins
brings them against the tip of the
horses nose. The horses nose is
what the tip Of the trunk is to the
elephant, the most sensitive part
of the animal. Every one knows
that the old nose twister will tone
down the widest dancing horse,
and bring him at once into abso-
lutte subsection. By bringing on
the nose an entirely unfamiliar
pressure, in the shape of new bit,
which touches the top Of the nose
and not the mouth, the whole
mental being of the horse is sud-
denly given up to strict and alb.
sorbed attention to the novel and
unexpected sensation.
1t Is fortunate that the novelty
does not wear off, and it is as effec-
tive with horses that have been
driven with two months as it the
the first day. 1t Is affirmed that
the invention does away entirely
with the necessity for the ordinary
bit: that 1t stops the worst horse
from shying; and that enables
him to be taken right up to the
noisiest electric car without mind
ing it.-Ex.

Unexpectedly burst and let its vic

SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Statistics Show That a Man May Travel
l8l Years Before Being Killed.

l8l Years Before Being Killed.
In the May Ladies' Home Jour-
nal John Gilmer Speed writes en-
tertalningly and instructively on
the construction and operation of
railroads, under the caption, "Run-
ming Train at Night" He pre-
fatorily asserts that "the most re-
marksble achievements of modern
civilization, probably, are those
which affect travelling, making it
at once quick, comfortable and Sc
cure. We cross state and con-
tinents at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, with greater security
against accident than our grand
fathers enjoyed in their stage
coaches, and we have, even when
on the cars, comforts unknown in
the palaces Of kings when our
grandfathers' grandfathers were
young. *** During the year
(from Interstate Commerce Com
missions report for the year end
ing July l, 1880 one passenger
was killed for every 1,9S5,l53 pas
sengers carried, and one injured
for every 1888 carried. This
surely is as safe as living ordinary
humdrum lives in large cities.
The report further shows that a
mans chances against injury were
such that he would to travel 4, 406,-
659 miles before getting hurt, and
go 47,5S3,966 miles before being
killed. At the rate of thirty miles
an hour man could travel, if ma
ture permitted, on American rail-
ways for one hundred and eight.
one years, without leaving the
cars, before being killed, or with
the same amount OF security
against accident he could go
ronnd the earth nineteen hundred
and three times before meeting
his death by accident, and one
hundred and seventy-six times be-
fore getting hurt"

TUESDAY, APRIL %, 1896

San Antonio increases her mu1i-
cal reputation along with all else.
She is growing that way as we'll as
in all other directions and is being
accepted as the musical center of
the south outside Of New Orleans.
Even in some features the Crescent
City is not abreast of the Old Ala
mo. This week sees her with her
first gathering of the state singers
in the magnificent hall that she
has erected to the deities Of music,
and it is being made an occasion
memorable in the annals Of the
singing societies of this historic
city. San Antonio has her usual
welcome a little accumulated, and
her usual smile a little broader
and sweeter, with which to wei.
come the singers from abroad. In
this welcome there is no distinc-
tions, all joining heartily in ex-
tending the freedom and hospital
ity to the strangers within our
gates. AS already noted some
days since, the LIGHT has its doors
open and its beams shine with a
steady welcoming light for the
strangers within the gates Of the
city.

1t is generally remarked as the
southwest section of Texas is trav-

and the acreage Of the crop justi-

this city and the coast that are
breast high.

Every animal inherits the power
of doing certain things without be-
ing taught that is to say, they
have what is called instinct. A gen.
tleman refused to believe in this in
stinot, so to convince him q Canadi-
an friend bought baby beaver from
a hunter and sent it to the gentle
man.
The little beaver became q great
pet in the house, but gave no sign
of, wanting to build a dam until one
day leaky pail of water was put
on the floor of the back kitchen.
Though but a baby, the instinct
now awoke in the beaver. The in.
stant he saw the water oozing out
of pail he soampered into the yard,
brought in a chip and began build
ing his dam.
The gentleman was called and
watched the little fellow, very much
astonished by all he saw. He gave
orders to have it left where it was,
!. and the industrious beaver kept at
his work four weeks, when he had
built solid dam all around the pail.
