As We know, fire must have been
first made by means of friction, and
among the Mexican codices there is
picture of a man making fire by rotat-
ing a stick between his hands. The
sketch is perfect, because 1T shows
how the slab OF wood has its holes
worked first into il, for unless you
knew the exact way of getting up that
slab il would be troublesome to start
a fire. You may make smoke readily,
but If you are not up to the exact way,
and can tumble out your spark With
the wood dust, the blaze escapes You.
IL is, however, in the gesture sign
movement that some of the interpre-
ters Of Indian pantomimo see a return
TO the old way of making fire. When
IN Indian wants 60 make the fire sign
he rubs together the palms OF his
bands. Now, that may or may not
recall a mans remembrance of the ro-
tasiuR FIRE stick. It might be only an
act which we all repeat when we worm
our hands by ere. That ia the way

WORDS OF WISDOM.


A cool head and warm heart should
so together.
Courage not controlled by prudence
is foolishness.
The light we do not walk in will
soon leave us.
There are no tollgates on the high.
way of holiness.
Unless we first look up, we will not
do much lifting up.
The man who chases bubbles never
has any time to rest.
A cry is what the heart says when
the lips cannot speak.
The most respectable sinners are the
most dangerous ones.
The man who is ruled by his feelings
cannot walk straight.
1t costs more to be proud than it
does to be generous.
He is the greatest man who does
most for his fellowmen.
A better thing than being a giant is
not to be afraid of one.
Try to give pleasure, and you will
receive more shah you give.
1t is folly to seek happiness while
we are unwilling to be good.
A lie is about the meanest thing
that ever crawled out of tho pit.
How it must puzzle the angels to
see preacher looking for an easy
place.
The millennium would be here now if
all lived up to what we demand from
others.
If some people would do more
thinking, their tongues would get
more rest.
The man who undertakes to get q
living by his wits would have more
regular supply of bread if he would
depend more on his muscle. Rams
Horn.

Feeling the HirlIs-

There are two pelicans, some gray
herons and cormorant. which, with
three white storks, make every after
noon quaint group on the green
bank on the eastern side OF the Round
Pond, in the Geological Gardens, Lon
don. The rest of the birds are fed in
the early morning on bread and grain,
but these eat fish, and their daily dole
is brought to them by the keeper
about o'clock in the afternoon. The
hour of 3 is not always observed with
strict punctuality by the caterer, but
it is we'll remembered by at least one
of the diners. Regularly at o'clock,
or a few minutes before, the cormor-
ant arrives on the spot and looks visit
fully about him, and the storks are
seldom far behind. Dinner may lag
quarter of an hour, a whole hour,
but the storks and the cormorants
wait on the ground-the cormor-
ant keeping on one spot and only
showing excitement and impatience by
twisting his head from side to side
and spreading his wings and closing
them again, the storks walking rest
lessly to and fro and occasionally exc
cnting funny little jumps in the air.
The pelicans generally come up with
the keeper and behave in a manner a.
together out of keeping with their
symmetrical nose and smooth move
ment when in the water. Stretching
their necks high in the air, plunging
their bills greedily into the fish pail,
fappiug their heavy wings. they houu-
der about in the most grotesque and
ungainly manner conceivable. They
are clever catchers, as are also the
storks, and it is amusing TO see them
opening their bills to receive morsels
thrown to them. Indeed, catching is
a game with the pelicans, as we'll as a
way of taking their food, and they
will amuse themselves with throwing
an object up in the air, catching it as
falls, and then throwing it to catch
again.
Only lately one of the pelicans at
Kew ran the risk of doing himself
very serious injury by playing this
game with knife he found lying
about. Fortunately, the knife was
taken away in time had it happened
TO fall blade downward into the birds
bill, it must have cut through the skin
of the pouch. Their fish dinner once
a day is not the only food these birds
get-they catch fish for themselves in
the pond the storks contrive now and
then to spear a young sparrow, and
the cormorant has been seen to kill
and eat a rat. The Spectator.

A School-Girl VIE.

Arrayed in her sun bonnet and
checked apron, with school satchel and
lunch basket, the young wife of
General Cassius NJ Clay, the octo-
genarian sage OF White Hall, may be
seen every week day morning with
the other children ON her way to
school to the little unpretentious one
room school house near her palatial
home at Waco, KY.
When the General married her, last
spring, she was only fifteen years old,
and her parents having been of the
humblest class she had no opportunity
to acquire an education. In domes-
tic economy, however, che was an ex-
pert, knowing how to milk, make
butter, cook and attend to the house.
Since their marriage, however, the
old General, who owns one of the most
magnificent places in Kentucky, and
lives in scholarly case with his books,
pictures and papers, has been trying
TO wean her from her former plebeian
ways and make her a congenial com
panion. With this end in view he has
had several governesses at White Hall
the past summer, but suspecting the
last one, it is said, of trying to preiu-
dice his wife against him by telling
her that she was too young and hand
some for her gray bearded partner, he
dismissed her, starting his wife to the
common school near by, presided
over by Miss Tudor, very accom-.
plished teacher.
The General, IL is said, is foolish
over his young wife now as when they
we're married, and has one of his
armed retainers 20 accompany her to
and from school She is said 90 be
very bright, and obeys her aged hus-
band with filial submission, never
going away from the house without
asking his leave. Her name is Dora,
but in speaking Of her to mis- friends
he invariably calls her his peasant
wife. st. Louis Star-Sayings.

Daring Shonllltiny.

New York merchants are complain
ing to the police of an organized gang
of shoplifters, composed of little girls
under twelve years of age. They are
hard TO catch. Their faces tell moth
ing. They usually travel around with
heavily-veiled women who 90 from
counter to counter, handling the
goods, but buying nothing. At q
glove counter, for instance, which is a
favorite place for their operations,
they will stop and examine expensive
gloves, and then, as if by accident, tip
them over on the floor. Perhaps ten
pairs of gloves have fallen off the
counter. The child goes 70 pick them
up, returns seven or eight pairs to the
counter, slides two or three pairs into
the bag of the shoplifter, which hangs
low down In the folds of her skirt. BY
the way, one of the most daring pieces
of shoplifting that has been done this
year was by woman detective. She
had been employed by a large firm
for a number of years, and was one of
the most successful women in her pro-
fession. Last year she captured on
an average seven shoplifters day,
and was the highest paid detective in
any Of the Sixth avenue stores She
had robbed her employers for years,
and was eventually discovered by
little cash girl-who saw her take
lace handkerchief from counter and
slide it into her dress front. The
honest little cash girl told the floor
walker that shoplifter had been
along, and pointed ont the detective.
The floor walker for some reason no
more difficult to fathom than Tilted
affection, insisted on the detective be-
ing searched, and when this was done
the handkerchief was found, as the
cash girl had said, and also soma other
articles which had been picked up
and concealed while the detective was
supposed to be watching the pecula-
tions of others. ''Set thief to catch
thief" 1t is said that she was the
best detective on the avenue. New
York Avertiser.

on THE VERGE.

Standing where the sunset emblems
Crumbling, fall adown the skies,
Autumn muses. and remembers,
Bending stern regretful eyes.
The imperious purple burning
From her CHEEK hath burned away,
And her bosom feels but yearning
For the golden yesterday.
Though her kingdom fall asundcr
Through seditious winds and frost,
And the drums OF winter thunder,
And she sees that all is lost,
Yet her royal pride ensureth
That none whisper word OF scorn,
Haggard, battled, she endureth,
With spirit upward borne.
Eyes that love her grieve serenelv
AT the pathos of it all,
In her bounty free but queenly,
Now unbendinS In her fall.
