shall relate Of this spring IS true, Tor IL
has been corroborated by the former
generation, by the older men of the
present century. According to this
story, when the Shaker village at South
Union was first established by few
venturesome though hardy pioneers. a
member OF the sect was dispatched on
horseback to put the money in a safe in
the county capital
When,the treasure bearer reached the
spring, he rode his horse in to give it
water, but rider and animal were swal-
lowed up, never to rise again. It is said
that the Shakers friends used as much
as 500 feet of rope in an attempt to re-
cover the body and coin, but never
struck bottom. myself have heard old
men say they have tried to find the bot
tom of the spring by using hundreds OF
feet of cord and lead sinker, but with
out success. -Auburn (Ky.) News.

A Novelty In Bells.

Herr Appunn of Hanau has invented
a bell of a new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to be as pow
erful as considerably heavier bells of
the form at present in vogue. The shape
is peculiar, being hemispherical, while
the metal is uniform in thickness ex-
cept near the ''sound bow Tor the
thickened tip which the clapper strikes).
From the edge to some little distance
above the sound bow the metal is very
thick, and then alters suddenly to the
uniform thickness which it has for the
rest of the bell.-Invention.

Social Mistakes.

Perhaps the greatest of all social mis-
takes is to be continually talking about
oneself. There is no word in all the
VOC 'rulary of conversation so tedious to
OF as that personal pronor5c Il
Though one of the smallest words in
USE, there IS AUrio Unat takes up more
room in the everyday world. "I'' is
bore. It is better not to mention his
name oftener than can be avoided. An
other social folly is ''gush." There is
an insincere ring about it. True, there
are people who gush from sheer good
nature in wishing to give pleasure, yet
they should remember that even amiable
exaggeration is like a coarse sugar plum,
agreeable at first, but leaving doubt
full taste in the mouth afterward.
On the other hand, there is certain
class of people in society who are equal
~ foolish in going to the other extreme.
They feign Indifference about everybody
and everything, seldom expressing either
interest or admiration. They think it
"bad form" to show any pleasure in
life, and sign of superiority to be in
capable of enthusiasm. A social folly
is to imagine that people are always
looking at or thinking of you. Such
ideas are often the offsprings of conceit.
AS matter of fact, the people very
often look at you without seeing or
thinking of you. They have other things
to think of. If we could only convince
ourselves that we are not always the
pivot Of our friends and acquaintance
thoughts, there would be fewer hurt
feelings and imaginary grievances.
