Down at my Aunt Priscila's where I
often go to stay,
The sun is always shining bright, no mat
ter what the day.
Il may be pouring torrents. out-of-doors,
from cloudy skies
The sun is always shining In my Aunt
Priscillas eyes.
No wonder that the neighbors say, when
Aunhe entertains
"she always makes the world look bright,
and drives away the pains"
But when TO Aunt Keturah's house go to
spend a week,
She IS so very fussy that 1 hardly dare to
speak;
She scolds the servants all the time and
tells me I'm tease;
She never let's her visitors do one thing
that they please.
It's very cloudy all the day when Aunt
Keturah's nesr;
The merry sunshine never comes-I believe
not once a year.
That something's wrong is very plain; and
I've resolved to try
To start and grow up, while there's time,
like Aunt Priscilla Fry.
I'll keep the corners Of my mouth turned
up in smiles so sweet
That all the people, young and old, meet
upon the street
VIII think the day Is brighter just because
that little boy
Has shown, In greeting every one, a heart
brlmful Of joy.

winter And while his set danced and
firted and moved from opera box to

He leaned forward with his elbows

tied into a glowing mass of embers,
he turned and looked at the woman

"Then you, too, are not-content?"

OLD RUINS HIS DELIGHT.
Famous Swedish Explorer who Has
Made Valuable Discoveries in
Ancient cities.

The Swedish explorer, DIR. Sven
Hedin, has made valuable additions
to the present-day knowledge of an
cient peoples and their homes. He is
now on his second tour of exploration
in the least known parts of central
Asia He is not only distinguished as
an oriental scholar in archaeology
and philology, but he is a geologist,
an astronomer, a zoologist, o botan-
ist, a geographer, surveyor and a
competent artist, while at the same
time he wields the pen Of a ready and
shllful writer, says a London ex.
change. His accomplishments are so
many, so varied and so remarkable
that none Of the titles ordinarily ap-
piled to men of learning meets is
case. His natural history eollec-
tions, as well as his other collections
made in the Indies, are of exception
al value
DR.. Sven Hedin was thoroughly and
admirably prepared for his exploring
work before he began IL. 1t was more
than 12 months ago tnat he set ou'
from Kashgar on his second tour,
and it was his design to get back to
Europe early in the present year,
after he had explored the sources Of
the Indus.
II is already known that, rich as
were the results of his former jour
ney, they have been far surpassed by
those of a more recent time, and the
record Of them will undoubtedly be
of extraordinary interest. He has
collected not only the tales and ira
ditions, but also many relics Of the
ruined cities he has seen.
Il was at DR.. Hedin's suggestion
that the viceroy of India, Lord Cur
zon, made his visit few months ago
to the ruins of the city of Biiapur,
in the province of Bombay, for the
purpose of examiri ing the historic
architecture of ancient India. Though
the city is less known than almost
any other Mohammedan ruins, it is
said to excel them all in beauty,
some of the edifces having been
even grander than the Alhambra of
Spain. tt was once renowned for its
palaces, temples, towers, tombs and
walls, at the sight of which, an in
scription declares, "Heaven itself
wondered" But the hordes of Mara
thas fell upon it at its most brilliant
period, played havoc with its glories,
reduced It to desolation and slew
multitudes of its inhabitants, though
it had a population of more than a
million
When the region and the place were
brought directly under British rule,
about half century ago, there were
but a few thousand wretched people
at Biiapur, and Lord Curzon found
during his recent visit that the re-
naming parts of some of the most
splendid palaces and tombs hau been
fixed up" so as to adapt them for
use as iails, courts and government
offices. "The spider" so sang the
poet of old, "weaves its web on the
tomb of Yusub; the. owl stands SEN
try there"
When Lord Curzon visited the ruins,
which Dr. Sven Hedin had previously
known of, he expressed the hope that
it might yet be in his power to do
something to restore the name and
promote the revival of the desolated
city of BiJapur, once renowned as the
"uueen city of the Deccan." And al
ready the restorers are ready for
such service as they can render.

CHASING AFTER FIRES.
New Feature of the Insurance Bust
ness That Is Said to Pay
We'll.

The latest thing for fire insurance
agents to do is to be on the spot look
ing for new business while old busi-
ness is burning up. One of the can
vassers of a New England company be-
gan to make money so rapidly few
months ago that some of his compet-
itors tried to find out how he did it,
says the New York Sun.
They learned that he made a special
ty of following the fire engines, and if
the fire happened to be in a tenement
house or fiat he waited until the flames
were subdued and reaped harvest by
insuring the other tenants and neigh
bors. Most people are apt to be so
badly scared by fire near their home
that if not insured they are glad to
take out policies on the spot. 1t didn't
take the other agents long to catch on,
and it is said that the other day after
a fire 21 agents wrote 10 policies in the
immediate neighborhood.
at is a great scheme" said one of
these agents. "All one has to do is to
hit the iron while it is hot. Don't talk
Insurance to any of the tenants or
neighbors while the fre-is going on,
because they are likely to be too ex-
cited to think of anything but their
personal safety. When everything is
quieted down and the fire engines are
going away is the time to jump in with
your proposition. OF course, none of
the larger companies permit agents to
get business in this way, but there are
countless small underwriters who
never question the source from which
an application comes so long as the
risk is not unusual. This chasing after
fires is one of the new wrinkles OF the
fire insurance business. A profitable
one too"
