Famous Lucky Stone.

A good deal has been heard of the
lila FAIL" or stone of destiny, which
Is placed under the seat of the corona
ton chair in Westminster Abbey; but
few people realize the extreme an
tiquity of this uninteresting-looking,
rough, gray block. It was brought to
Ireland about 1900 B. c. by the
Observation-Disclosures, a mysterious east
ern race, who conquered Ireland at
that period. No n is quite clear as
to their identity, but many savants
suppose them to have been Chaldeans,
Persians or Phoenicians. Those races
were certainly highly civilized, even
SO long ago as the date mentioned.
They attached the greatest possible
value to the stone and used to crown
all their monarchs on it.
Three of the Tuatha-de-Danaan
queens regnant who sat upon the stone
of destiny rejoiced in the curious
name of Fodhla, Bamba and Eire-the
last a name that is creeping into use
again of late, after long eclipse. In
the sixth century Fergus, King Of
Scots Gan Irishman by descent), bor-
rowed the stone for his coronation at
Scone, and "froze on to it" when he
had it. It never went back to Ireland,
and many historians date the COM
mencement of the distressful country's
woes from that loss. Edward [. of
England, carried off the stone from
Scone and placed it in Westminster
Abbey, where it still remains.-Modern

AN oLo.FAsHIoNED SOUL.

Not hers thec New Times lofty lot
To questions big replying;
She only knows to keep the cot
And soothe the children's crying.
Not hers to stand 10 temples bright,
Sad strife for strife returning;
She only knows the lamps to light
And keep the home fires burning.
Not hers to move with iron will
In paths of strange endeavor;
She only knows that Home Is still
The sweetest name forever!
There are her joys, and there her
tears
A life so sweetly human,
The world shall whisper through the
years:
God bless that little woman!"

AS reported to the Acknowledgement
at Washington, the total available
strength OF organized militia in the
United States foots up 49, 67 officers
and men, about IS percent being in
fantry. How slight a proportion OF
the fighting strength OF the Republic
is denoted in this service ia apparent
from the returns to the adjutant gen.
erals Office of the unorganized avail
able force-10.432 .043 men. It is ap-
parent that in a season of grave emer-
gency the government would be ena-
bled to set from 5000. 900 to 1000, 900
soldiers in the field without seriously
embarrassing the commercial and In
