A SONG.

When the year is young and the heart
is gay,
And eyes are laughing and blue,
Then the world blooms happier every
day,
And love is always true.
Then sing good cheer to the year that's
here,
To the laugh in your ewes of blue!
To you and the glad young year, dear
heart!
To the glad young year and you!
When the year is old, and the rose of
spring
Is buried beneath the snow.
And twilight fancies the shadows bring
AS we dream in the freside's glow,
To the light that has shown through
the year that's gone,
TO the tears in your eyes of blue,
To you and the sweet old year, dear
heart!
To the sweet old year and you!

The ancient belief that certain of the
precious stones were actually self-lu-
minous has not been proved. 1t is,
however, certain that such stones as
the diamond, ruby, sapphire and car
buncle possess the power of storing UP
light and emitting 1t again in dark
ness. This property is possessed in
the highest degree by the colored va.
rieties of diamonds. The property of
hephosphorescence of certain precious
stones was first noticed by Boyle, the
chemist, and Sir Isaac Newton verified
his observations during his researches
on the properties of light. good deal
later Sir William Crookes discovered
that diamonds placed in an exhausted
chamber communicating with an In
duction coil greatly increased In lu-
minosity. and this gave rise to the the
Dry that the agitation in the molecules
of the stone was sufficiently violent to
induce luminous vibration of the other
rays. Were this theory proved, 1t
would be permissible to say that these
stones are selfluminous.

each other. This is attributable MAIN
ly to government restrictions where
state telephones already exist.

MAKE HARD WORK OF DINING.
English Stntesmcn Know Little Of the
Pleasures of the Table.

EnRIish Stntesmen Know Little OF the
Pleasures of the Table.
When dining at his club Lord Sails
bury is generally very much preoccu-
pied and seems not to know what
viands he is eating. On recent occa-
sion the Premier and the Duke of
Devonshire were dining Mt the same
club, but not together. Lord Salisbury
ordered a mutton chop and potatoes
nothing more. The chop was placed on
the table, but his lordship was SO inter-
ested in book he was reading that he
took no notice of his dinner. Twenty
minutes went by and the chop re-
manned untouched.
Suddenly up he jumped, and, appar-
emily unconscious of everything and
everybody, hurriedly left the building
without having had bite. Later the
Duke of Devonshire, who had Wit
messed this extraordinary conduct OH
the part of his chief, met Lord Sails
bury and quite casually remarked,
"Dined yet?'
."Dined? Dined? oh. yes, I've
dined," somewhat testify replied his
lordship; "dined at the club and had
chicken as dry and as tough as Lon
don policeman" When the Duke after
ward told Lord Salisbury about the
neglected chop he replied, "Oh, really,
you cannot make me believe this! I
have not studied the science of gas
tronomy very much, l will confess, but
surely know the difference between
chicken and mutton chop!'
Lord Rosebery, although an excellent
judge of good dinner, cannot bear to
sit long over meal. Not many weeks
ago he was dining with an old friend
of his, Bishop Creighton. AS usual
Lord Rosebery speedily finlsned his
meal.

soldiers were chiefly interested in look

image was the picture of an eagle, and
on the banner which streamed from
the eagles bill was the following le-
gend:
"The Old Reliable Condensed Milk"
The saint had been decorated in hon.

artist had copied the eagle and accom-

He afterward explained that he thought
it an American motto, as It was under
the eagle.

LAKE SHORE SETTLEMENT or MEN WHO LIVE BY FISHING
mitted in girls gymnasiums, and its

mitted In girls gymnasiums, and its
popularity became great in the last few
years. Then the college men and the
other gymnasium fellows who had been
smiling in superior sort of masculine
way ut the mild pleasures of basket
ball began to think there might be
something In 1t and formed experiment
tai teams, just for the fun of the thing.
That settled it. When men once or
ganize teams" in anything, of COM
petitive nature there is no end to 1t.
The team which wins the early contests
thinks itself invincible and roams
around looking for easy" and ambi-
tious teams which 1t may wipe off the
map. The teams which lose are deter
mined they can do better next time and
cannot be induced to quit. The compe-
tition thus engendered keeps the game
alive and the spectators of the early
matches, seeing how easy It looks, form
new teams and leagues and things and
go out after trophies and prizes, and
there is no end to it. =
In some respects the manner of play
ing the game resembles football-that
is, the teams line up opposite each other
on the floor Of the gymnasium with the
ball put into play in the center Of the
hall, the object being to get the ball to
either end. But 1t differs in that there
are but five players on side instead Of
eleven; the ball is a great, balloon like
affair, almost two feet in diameter,
very light and soft, and instead of be-
Ing kicked over bar between goal
posts to decide the game 1t must be
passed by the hands into a basket hung
at either end of the hall we'll above the
heads of the players. Such, In brief, is
the manner Of playing the game which
Is rapidly growing in popularity and
which bids fair to be the rage for in
door sport within year or two. The
ball cannot be kicked or carried as a
football is advanced. 1t must be tossed
from one player to another and inter
ference of almost any kind by the oppo-
sition is allowable, although no rough
ness is tolerated. The Interference, in
stead Of being aimed against the play
err as in football, is aimed against the
ball itself. If 1t is flying through the
air from one player to another player
