a Taste fcrthe Beautifu,

Beauty is an all-pervading presence.
1t unfolds in the numberless flowers OF
the spring: it waves in the branches of
.he trees and the green blades of grass;
it haunts the depths of the earth and
sea. and CLEANS out in the hue Of the
shell and the precious stone; and not
only these minute objects, but the
ocean, the mountain, the clouds. the
heavens, the stars, the rising and set
ting sun, all overflow with beauty. The
universe is it's temple; and those men
who are alive to Ii cannot lift their eyes
without feeling themselves encompass
ed with 1t on every side. Now this beau
ty Is so precious, the enjoyments It
gives are so refined and pure, so con-
genial to our tenderest and noblest feel
ings, and so akin TO worship that 1t Is
painful to think of the multitude of
men living In the midst of 1t, and living
almost as blind TO it as If, instead Of
this fair earth and glorious sky, they
were tenants of dungeon. Suppose l
We're to visit a cottage and see It's walls
lined with the choicest pictures Of
Raphael. and every spare nook filled
with statues of the most exquisite
workmanship, and that 1 were to learn
that no man. woman. or child, ever cast
an eye at these miracles of art. how
should l feel their prlvation-hOw
should l want TO open their eyes, and
to help them to comprehend and feel
the Iovellness and grandeur which in
vain courted their notice! But every
man is living in sight CT the works Of a
Divine Artist: and how much would
his existence be elevated could he see
the glory which shines forth In their
forms, hues, proportions, and moral
expression!

Two of our boys, who live far up In
the northern part Of North Dakota
have written a letter telling about a
thrilling adventure which they had last
month.
They were out with their father about
ten miles from home watching herd
of cattle, which was grazing on the
prairie. In the daytime they rode their
mustang ponies and helped to keep the
herd from separating, and at night they
slept in little tent sheltered by the
edge Of n shallow ravine.
They greatly enjoyed the first two
days of their stay, the weather being
clear and cool, with very little wind,
but late In the afternoon a dark cloud
grew out of the western horizon and
little gusts OF wind bent the long brown
grass of the prairie.
The boys father said he thought =

A Frontier Judge.

'.One Of the best classics l ever knew
James Reilly, was through many years
dependent on his muscles, not his
brains," writes the author Of Here
and There Memories" When he grad
uated from Dublin University he found
himself a pauper-his guardian having
robbed him. He went to the United
States and served as trapper, navy,
farm hand and frontier judge.
He could break q leg, make a piano,
set limb, grind an axe, splice a rope,
mend shoes, plait a sieve, quote from
the Greek poets. classify bug, explain
the binomial theorem, or fix the rela-
ton Of two fossil fragments. His most
cherished accomplishment was being
able to lift a blacksmth's anvil by his
little finger hooked in the eye of the
iron; his proudest recollection that he
had been an effective Judge. OF his
judgeship he told this story:
Il had just been elected Judge there

Selecting Pictures.

"The value of picture depends upon
what there Is in 1t for its possessor,"
writes William Martin Johnson in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on the "Selec-
ton and Framing of Pictures" "A
painting by an amateur may be more
precious in your eyes than one Of Ra-
phaers cartoons. Therefore, sell your
cartoon to the highest bidder, and when
you outgrow the little painting buy
back the cartoon if you have learned to
see Its beauty.
NO one can tell you how to under
stand art without your seeing 1t, study
ing 1t, living with it. any more than any
one can tell you how to tell good cloth
from bad; you must first have had ex.
perience with cloth. Learn a language
before you try TO converse. But do not
go so far as to imagine that you must
learn dra wing and painting before you
can appreciate pictures. The less you
know about technique the more capable
you will be of looking at a painting with
an unprejudiced eye. Get at the art
lists intention. Does he express an idea
10 you? Is he interesting in the way hs
tells his story? Does he convince you
Of truth? II the picture Is that Of a

He FORGOT the Diamond

The earliest authentic mention of
the matchless KohinoOr, the "mountain
of rght,' is by an Eastern monarch,
who refers to Jewel valued at one
half of the daily expenses of the whole
world A century or two later, the
Persian conqueror of India. seeing the
diamond glitter in the turban of the un-
fortunate Rajah, exclaimed with rough
and somewhat costly humor. "Come
let us change our turbans in pledge of
friendship!' and the exchange was
promptly made.
The kohinoor fell into the hands of
the English. and pending ITS delivery
10 the crown Sir John Lawrence, after
ward Lord Lawrence, was made its
guardian. His biographer, Mr.. Bos-
worth Smith. relates curious incident
If this custody.
Half-unconsciously, Sir John thrust
It. wrapped up in numerous folds Of
cloth, into his waistcoat pocket, the
whole being contained In an insignif1-
cant little box. He went on working
hard, as usual, and thought no more Of
his precious treasure. He changed his
clothes for dinner and threw his waist
coat aside, still forgetting all about the
box contained in It.
About six weeks aftcrward a mes
sage came from the viceroy. saying that
the queen had ordered the Jewel b he
Immediately transmitted to her. The
subject was mentioned by Sir Henry
Lawrence at the board, when Sir John
said. quietly:
'Send for 1t at once"
why, you've got it!'' said Sir Henry.
In moment the fact Of his careless
ness flashed across Sir John. He was
horror-stricken. but with no external
sign of trepidation he said:
"Oh. yes, of course, 1 forgot about it"
and went on with the business of the
meeting. He soon made an opportunity
Of slipping away to his private room,
and with his heart in his mouth sent
for his old bearer, and said:
Have you a small box which was in
my waistcoat pocket some time ago?"
Yes. sahib," the man replied,''I found
and put 1t in one OF your boxes"
Bring 1t here" said the sahib. "Open

cen produced, land see what is In.

He watched the man with intense
nxiety as fold after fold of the rags

The following pleasant letter was
written by General Washington to DIR.
Cochrane, a surgeon general in the Con-
unental army. 1t is dated West Point,
Aug. 16, 1779, and is printed in the
Philadelphia Saturday Review:
Dear Doctor-I have asked Mrs.
Cochrane and Mrs. Livingstone to dine
with me tomorrow, but / am not In
honor bound to apprise them Of their
fare. AS 1 hate deception, even where
the Imagination only is concerned,
will. 1t is needless to promise that my
table is large enough to hold the ladies; I;
of this they had ocular proof yester-
day. To say how it is covered is rather
more essential, and this shall be the
purport Of my letter.
Since our arrival at this happy spot
we have had a ham, sometimes a shOuf
der Of bacon, NJ grace the head Of the
table; a piece of roast beef adorps the
foot: and n dish of beans or greens al
most imperceptibly decorates the cen
ter.
When the cook has a mind to cut a
figure. which l presume will be the
case tomorrow, we have two beefsteak
pies or dish of crabs in addition. one
on each side of center dish. dividing
the space, reducing the distance be
tween dishes about six feet. which
without them would be nearly twelve
feet apart.
OF late he has had the surprising sa-
gaclty to discover that apples will
make pies, and it Is a question IL, In the
violence of his efforts, we 90 not get
one of apple, instead Of both Of beef
steaks
If the ladies can put 1p with such en-
tertainment. and will submit to partake
of it on plates, once tin, but now iron
mot become so by the labor of scour-
ing), l shall be happy to see them, and

A Small YOy's Devotion,.

There is a small boy in Kenwood whs
is very fond of tag and l spy. He is also
{. religious youngster and never goes 70
sleep without plea that his dear little
soul may be kept throughout the long
watches of the night. The other even
ing, however, he beca me little mixed
about bed time. He is only 4 years Old.
and, of course, the hope and pride of his
fond mamma. After a day devoted to
play when being put to bed he was so
tired he could hardly wait until his
clothes were off before falling asleep.
When In his snowy ght gown he made
a move toward his little cot, but was
reminded by his mother that he had
forgotten to say his prayer. He Huick-
ly knelt at her side and laying his small
head upon his folded hands began:
Now l lay me down to sleep.
pray the Lord my soul TO keep.
But here his drowsiness became too
much for him. His curly head went
down with a bump against his moth
er's knee, and she, hoping to help him
out. softly suggested:
If" she said as she smooJhcd his
golden head.
He made another effort, yawned and,
as his mother prompted him the second
time, he Frightened up and finished:
