AT last | have found out where the
students go TO study between lectures,
so that they are not obliged to return
home. The back part Of William Is
palace, that is situated across the street
from the university, is devoted to the
kings library, containing l don't know
how many thousand volumes. and
above this is a large reading room, very
nicely arranged with tables and chairs.
1t is very nice, and free to students.

carpets and rugs hung from the win
dows of the larger houses. Some were
new and handsome, others old and rag
ged, but there they hung in goodly ar
ray, tapping in the breeze. At first
thought these good people, who are SO
scrupulously clean. were making the
inside of their houses spotless in hon
or of the festal days, in fact having a
general house cleaning, which l could
not see the necessity of, since all Ger
man homes, as far as | have been able
to observe, are so beautifully kept as to
eliminate housekeeping, but after they
had hung out three days it dawned up
on me- that these carpets and rugs were
a part of the decoration and l was told
that as rugs and carpets were consid-
cred a luxury and only the few had
them. they were glad to display them
in this manner Dear! dear! I thought,
we Americans have all the luxuries and
don't half appreciate them. We are
certainly extravagant people.

MOUNTAIN THAT IS A MIRROR
An African Phenomenon That Sur.
prised and Greatly Interested
Catholic MissiOnaries-

A few months ago some Catholic mis-
sionaries made journey in Katanga.
q large district which contains many
of the upper waters of the Congo. One
day they approached a mountain
which, they later learned, was ex-
tremely rich in iron ore. In fact, the
travellers say the mountain Is little else
than huge block of iron from summit
to base. The natives call the noun
tain Kabwe-AIarwi.
The missionaries, says a foreign ex-
change. spent several days in the neigh
borhood, and each evening. they say.
the mountain was iliumined in a wol.-
derfrl manner under the influence of
the rays of the setting sun. The upper
part of it seemed to be an immense
reflector launching far out into the
plain the beams of light revived from
the Star of Day"
One evening, after day of rain that
had washed all the dust from the
reflection was greater than usual, and
Father Ter Mat decided to seek the
exact cause of this phenomenon. So
at sunrise next morning he began the
difficult task of scaling the steep slope
of this mountain of iron. He finally
reached the highest peak, e,sss feet
above the sea level, and there he found
n great rock whose side, turned toward
the western sun, was as polished and
bright as a mirror and shone like bur-
nished steel. 1t seemed to be block of
almost pure metal. This shining sur
face contains several hundred square
feet, and fully explains the remark
able refraction of the solar rays. The
only explanation of the increased bril-
liancy on that particular day is that
the rain washed away all particles that
bedimmcd the polished surface and left
it fine natural mirror where the fall
ing beams of light were launched again

There is good profit in putting in new
lenses. Really the only sensible glasses
to wear are spectacles. They fasten
over the ears and they never fall off
and they don't get out of adjustment.
They fit on the same place every time
and the eye looks through the center
of the lens as it should look. But most
people think that spcctaclesmake them
look older or something like that and
they insist on nose glasses. Then they
don't know how to put them on and if
they don't get them just right the eyes
don't look through the center of the
lenses, and if there is any disorder of
the vision other than nearsightedness
the improperly adjusted glasses often
do more harm than good, to say moth
ing of the expense from breakage.
Now, madam, if you feel you must
wear glasses instead of spectacles take
them like this"

The glasses were on firm. "Shal1e your

"You see," said the optician, you

anything better than that, do you?
Now try putting them on yourself"
The customer put them off and at

People who have to wear glasses at all
should wear spectacles. But if they
will wear nose clips they must learn
how to adjust them or they'll ruin
their eyes and break their pockets at

than men in that. I've got. one custom
