Experiments OF the French scientists
Leconteur and Cosser showed that be-
tween all stones. no matter how small
there Is some difference OF color Dia.

their origin This method OF testing

General Kitchener is martinez in
the observance of rules, says writer
In London weekly. and is severe in
punishments. He comes down rather
heavily on drunkenness. and for this
reason has made himself to certain
extent unpopular with some Of his SOL
diers. Rogers, his body servant. is a
teetotaller, which is an exceedingly
rare thing to find in the ranks OF Tom
my Atkins. "Kitchener's cure for
drunkenness" is byword among his

drop the shot. A man is sometimes
kept at this ''shot drill" for six hours.

"And now that have told you all
my news. how have you been getting
on in my absence? Shearing going
ahead all right, Jack?"
"Yes, father. Nothing much to
growl about. Pretty fair clip SO far.
I think. But you haven't told US
yet whether you got the married
couple you promised to look out for in
Melbourne"

But what did you mean by you

Hall.
Il mean this-the man tells me his
wife is In too delicate state to do any
! work. His name is Thomas Baynes
and he SAYS he can cook well and is
handy about the house. I didn't see
his wife. but I engaged him at seventy
pounds year. on condition that, II
his wife grew stronger. she should as

will turn out satisfactorily"
What a pity the wife is SO deli

coming up. father!"
They started before me. but over
took them on the road" returned Mr..
Hall: land they arrived at Sullivan's
public-house in the coach this even
ing. had no time to stop and see
them. but asked Sullivan to send them
on tonight in his buggy, SO ! suppose
they will be here very shortly"
| Poor creature!" remarked Mrs.
Hail. How will she stand bush life
II she is such sickly thing? You say
they are young people?"
| Yes. quite young. He told me he
was twenty-three. but he hardly looks
1t. However. you will be able to Judge
for yourself very soon. Oh. there's
Long Bill" he exclaimed. hailing a
station-hand who had just come up to

a man and his wife for the station?

would let me, but he seems mighty in

Long before midnight the whole sta

dreamed as dogs do dream after o
hard days toll, rounding up their
fiocks and hunting back refractory
subjects to the yards. just as they had
been doing the livelong day.
Every human being on the station
slept-Saye one.
Upon a rude bench outside a hut
near the mems kitchen sat dark

starry sky.
Tears were slowly trickling down his
face, and he rocked himself to and fro,
struggling to suppress his sobs. Pres
emily he arose, and, clasping his hands

JACK HORNER.

Everybody who has once been .
child knows that rhyme about Little
Jack Horner," who sat in corner"
That there was ever real Jack Horner
and that the plum he extracted from
the pie was very valuable plum in
deed, few OF the little folks who enjoy
his exploits know. or would care to
learn.
For the benefit OF those who are not
quite little folks. Agnes Carr Sage, in
Lippincott's Magazine. tells the origin
and history of some famous nursery
stories and rhymes, among them THE
Pleasant History OF Jack Horner," con-
tanning His Witty Tricks and Pleas
ant Pranks," for SO 1t is set forth in
a very old chap-book, carefully pre-
served in the Bodleian library.
1t appears that this worthy was stew
ard to an abbot Of Glastonbury. The
good abbot learned that his majesty
Henry VIII. had seen At to be indig-
nant because the monks had built
kitchen which he could not burn down.
Now a kings indignation was danger
ous. and must be appeased. There
fore the abbot sent his steward, Jack
Horner. to present the sovereign with q
suitable peace-offering. It took the
form Of big and tempting looking pie,
beneath me crust OF which the trans
fer deeds Of twelve manors were hid
den.
But Master Jack had an eye for the
profit Of number one, and on the road
he slyly lifted the crust and abstracted
the deeds Of the Manor Of Wells. On
his return. bringing the deeds, he
plausibly explained that they had been
given to him by the king. Hence the
rhyme:
